You don't need to be dual citizen to get it. If you are an adult legal resident of Canada you'll get $2k every month for up to 6 months, and there are other additional money you could qualify for.

Benwallt:
Don't go just yet. We need your input to correct the wrong and injustice we have suffered together.

iswallker:


Well said - but this indirect tax qualifies you for nothing.. You may never pay VAT for a lifetime..

Tax that shoukd qualify you for palliative is the one on income you earn as a Nigerian..

Therefore stop saying we all pay tax because as Nigerians we don't.

kikero:
Hmm

Canada's budget this year is $355 billion for 24 million people.

Nigeria's budget this year is $26 billion for 200 million people.

And you expect Nigeria to give palliative of N626000 naira per person or per family?

Nigeria is a mess, but we are not up to Canada's level. Vote for governments who would make us an industrial nation, then we can talk.

To all those people cursing Nigeria up-thread...yes, we have had corrupt governments. But there is no way our government can afford to give stimulus of N626,000 naira to everyone. Not on our budget,without taking even more mega loans.

Modified

Even giving 100million Nigerians N50000 each a month would involve spending the equivalent of our budget for the year in one month.($26 Billion)

So how much was the VAT on your last disco payment..

And I never see VAT figures on shopping mall payments - I am thinking you may help out to throw more light..

Aidejay:
People should stop comparing Nigeria and Canada, Nigeria and Kenya, Nigeria and this Nigeria and that. Its just insulting, rather compare Nigeria and kuvuki land or any of the other fictitious countries.

helinues:
Nice one..

But how are we sure this payment is for a Nigerian, except if he/she has dual citizenship

daddytime:
Nice one.

$2600 is not a lot of money if you live in Canada.How long will it take you to spend that .

If you will no longer return to Nigeria because of that amount, I sympathize with your situation.

karkinase:

Wrong! I was like you years back thinking Nigeria is rich becos of the way our ppl flaunt wealth, but Nigeria is indeed far from being a Rich country and the sad part is the little we make is looted mercilessly by wicked n clueless leaders.

bilulu:

It's for everybody, so long you no longer have job. There are other benefits you can also qualify for but you can only claim one at a time. Those that re still working do qualify for the 2k

softset:
Kid, go to romance section where you entertain your likes. Do you think everyone here is hungry. I am stating my opinion.

gotnel:
The consequence of the Canadians people actions is what they are actually reaping.
The problem with us here in Nigeria is that both the government and the people are problematic.
No miracle is happening in Canada.
People pay taxes as an when due. Government officials carried out their responsibility accordingly.
There are many reasons why their success stories is palatable.

Here in Nigeria, we are all cutting corners in every way.
Government officials are rogues.
The man on the street is a major rogues than the man in government.
Everything about us here is for cheating.
We are all to blame in this country.

OriOko88:
Lol. People are comparing Canada with Nigeria. What fuckery. Do you know rich Canada is?? It has one of the hugest human development index in the world after Norway and Netherlands at 0.91. Nigeria has human development index of 0.51 very low for a emerging economy. Dem no be mate atal. Nigeria govt can't do beyond Wats its doing now, its an import economy. Nothing dey for table.

BTW, Canada has a population of around 44million compare with with 200million people in Nigeria. Most countries with high population are not doing direct cash transfer, they're just sharing food, perhaps with the exception of USA which of course is the richest country in human history.

salford1:

I guess you meant "do not".
Someone like me pray not to qualify for such as I am still working. (Essential).

EVILFOREST:

Invisible 20k is a lot of money in Nigeria abii.
You want Canadian government to empty their account because of you.
Always displaying our GREEDY attitude every time

Someone is a 3rd class citizen somewhere and got 600k.
Meanwhile a first class citizen in Naija is an ONLINE BEGGAR, begging for 1k

You talking absolutely Behind. I got 829 pounds today and will get same every month until lock down is over. Believe me the money the Canadian got is not one off. I got the amount cus I live on my own. My guy that has family got more than 2k pounds. And that is not it by end of June I will get 80% of what I earn every month for 3 months paid as a lump sum to my account.

Nobody is saying FG or States Government should pay the citizens equivalent of what is obtainable in the west. The Govt can easily pay 40 or 50k every month for 3 months if they had managed the country well.

These are useless ventures. The Allah that is in mecca is he not d same Allah in Nigeria..the God in Jerusalem is he not present in Nigeria..we are too over religious.some even believe that when they go to mecca or Jerusalem they will touch God and shake him...who did this to blacks..this is y we will never have a good health care sys.security power etc let's not just talk about nysc that one has lost its purpose upon all d nysc no unity...they still use quota sys for job placement.unaviodable death via accident boko herders spits..we don't know our priority so we will remain like this till asteroids hits earth

How much has your government given you?
At least they collect something, down here in Nigeria, all we keep getting is daily NCDC report.

nedekid:

Keep quite there and speak only of what you know.
Iran despite all the sanctions, blockade on their export of oil which makes up over 99% of their income still managed to give $240 their people.
Nigeria has 34m people with bvn, and not 200m. Why have they not given money even if it is to those with tax numbers which is less than the 34m bvn holders?
You guys will always find excuses for rubbish!
