Lol... $1200 and your rent is $1300 for the month. That's not a lot of money for those converting it naira..

boyjo:


But, he tried. At least na only $100 you go dey find to complete the rent for the month!

foleskay:


Someone that pays $1300 a month rent is ok already. The palliative is just a bonus to him.

pacespot:


That shows the high level of inflation in the United States if the poorest households are paying $1200 in rent per month. That is too high, that money can build a small bungalow in Nigeria

descartes400:


You need treatment for your Trump Derangement Syndrome.

softset:
That's not true, that's the amount some low level workers pay as rent.

In a city like Houston, the average rent is about $1000 but you can get cheaper ones if you dont mind living in area where drug dealing and killings is no big deal .

"His goodwill" my a*ss! The fund isn't his. It was the Congress that appropriated the money to help their citizens, NOT Trump!

Trump wants to take credit for this for political reason. He is a narcissist!

The point made is above your head. Don't worry about it. Just move on.

CoronaV:
Do you expect Trump to share his personal money?

Why should he want his signature on the cheques? This is unprecedented in U.S. history. If you were conversant with the U.S. politics and policies, you would understand why this is bad.

How do you Yoruba muslims reason sef. Let Buhari share too, afterall the money also isn't his.

Don't get me mixed up with your hatred for the Yoruba muslims because I'm neither Yoruba nor a muslim! And in my statement, I didn't argue whether Buhari should "share" any money or not, so I don't know why you made that comment. Read well to comprehend before responding to any comment!

They must find something to say sha

When he placed travel restrictions on China early enough, they said it was too early for such move considering the impact on businesses and the economy; later they still blamed him for not acting early enough to prevent the outbreak of covid-19

The US has the ability to print as much dollars as it wants because theirs is the real definition of fiat currency, and the Modern Monetary Theory so far has sbown little inflation comes in doing this.

Where do you think the 2 trillion dollars come from?

foleskay:


Why cant Nigeria also print more naira to distribute since its our currency, or is their any economic implication to it??

Neoteny7:

Ours is not a fiat currency

Sending the country to a stone age under bubu government.

aremuforlife:

What is the age difference between Trump and Buhari?
Moreover, the money given to them is part of the tax deductions, how many of us pay tax in Nigeria

Kyase:
Trump Cant do no wrong na
Trump and Buhari na same moto carry them, only be say Trump na crazy man

Ayoefa:


I beg why do you guys take everything you hear as gospel for everywhere and everyone in the US.
Some banks and landlords will allow for rent deferment but those are in the minority. Most are still collecting or simply differing for 30 to 60 days. So you still owe the money. its it's not like you are living for free. Bro, believe me, nothing is free in the US. and I mean NOTHING.
Even this tax refund will still be paid for by us the tax payers in the very near future.

foleskay:


Explain better

Neoteny7:


Its value is not by government declaration, as it's allowed to float since 2016.

The US Federal Reserve, which handles the US Fiscal Policy, prints the dollar. The US Treasury, in charge of Monetary Policy, can buy an infinite amount of government treasury bonds and thus makes the US deficit largely a paper debt only. Therefore the US government can print as much dollars as it wants with little inflation. And create a sort of economic value by using the money to develop infrastructure and thus create taxable jobs.

If Nigeria, which buys dollars with its floating currency or earns it from oil exports, tries to print an endless supply of Naira, there'll be too much naira chasing too few dollars and thus the value of naira will drop and inflation will rise.

olumide4christ:


Read the post very well...it says $1200 to 80 million taxpayers....how many people in Nigeria pay tax? If the Nigerian govt decides to use those who pay tax as yardstick to pay stimulus, I tell you the FG can pay each taxpayer N500,000 because they are so few in this country compared to the total population.
Let's stop comparing ourselves with the USA, there are so many differences both in leadership and followership. Its like comparing apples with oranges.

ComeAndobo:


Go and sit down. He is very wrong. It's not his money and he has no reason to insist his signature has to be on it.

Faithful4real:


Don't mind him USA have suspend paying of tax.

wirinet:

You guys seem incapable of staying on topic. The issue is the appropriateness of Trump signing a relief check from the Federal Government 7 months to elections.

When Buhari was distributing money few months to the elections through the trader moni scheme, it's still the same you guys crying fowl, without stating whether you will reject it if you were given.
