This thing is foolishness expressed with maximum stupidity.

Is this the kind of solution a government should come up with?

Palliative related rubbish has never worked in Nigeria
Corruption would still always find its way above it

Rubbish Rubbish 😑

Calling it foolish doesnt make it foolish without convincing arguement,

The current economic state is similar to covid 19 era where people struggle to feed & survive , across the world the Govt measure of palliative was to distribute food items at designated venues
IF inflation is ravaging the country and people can bearly afford necessities .. what temporary measures is viable than Govt subsidizing food items to reinstate affordability.

Even if those food were given freely, people will always complaining & rant, before the exercise the prices of all available items were publicized, and we all agreed they were lesser to market prices, I don't see any form of corruption around these concept becos there are no hidden charges or hidden procedures, its all open and People still have a choice, buy where you want

NyamiriSlayer:
Nonsense... no be by force to go there now

But it is by FOOLISHNESS to start it in the first place.

Jogs1900:
Complains as if they forced them to go to the market

u ar a kid

Dem don start.
Sometimes, I just wonder what works Average Nigerians

It is common sense to go to where you can get cheaper food items.

Another subsidy fraud 😄

RockHard:
Nothing wey Lagos state government fit do wey go ever please her perpetual haters. Anybody wey get problem with the initiative make dem go patronize other markets. It's not by force. No be everything Una suppose dey politicize.

una go just open mouth to dey talk nonsense. WHat's political about this? the same people it's meant for are the same people complaining that what the expected isn't what they got and you're talking nonsense

TopBanter:


Its obvious bro. What we see from.them is related to extreme hatred of others worsened by delusions of grandeur about oneself.

Individuals who suffer from those can never see good in what others do because they hate those folks passionately,

They will also, per delusions of grandeur, celebrate even the most mundane and unremarkable things related to them. Such as celebrating a gutter (lol) while trashing Eko Atlantic, Lagos Metro rail etc.

They are tiresome people bro. Yorubas must reject 'one Nigeria' and fight for regional governance so we can be rid of these people.

Under regional governance, what would concern them with the administration of the SW let alone we even have to see or entertain their bitter, hateful and envious messages?

but the Igbo have been clamoring for total disintegration of this shithole and your brothers have been calling for their heads

He is doing his job,that is what they're employed to do, to defend the indefensible and abuse and demonise others in other to shut down their opinions, they are many in nairaland, they always comment in groups with their comments usually following each other

Igbo people

APC is a curse.

NyamiriSlayer:
Nonsense... no be by force to go there now

You should know the complainants

richeeyo:
Igbo people

Are BITTER people.

Funkyswagzz:


Lol who are the people you referring to?

You think it's one particular tribe, that's suffering abi

Palliative in Nigeria is another name for official embezzlement.

Palliative is never a remedy nor solution

even if the people get it today what happens tomorrow?

THE GOVERNMENT MUST DEVELOP LASTING SOLUTIONS TO THE NATION'S PROBLEMS NOT EMERGENCY FRAUD INDUCED INTERVENTION

This is a lie!!!

Where you go see a crate of egg for #2700

Where you go see 5kg rice for #5000

If the thing is more expensive, so, those crowds were so daft to fall for it


Make Una fear God

And because it has never worked, it should be stopped? Do you know the problems the US had with food stamps until they finally got it right? Do you know how much money the UK loses on social welfare because people game the system? Nigeria is on a learning curve and any issues with these systems do not mean that the system should be abolished.

By the way, these interviews that are being quoted up here were proven to be by people hoping to resell. The government has closed that gap by narrowing the arbitrage window. The first complaint was that things were sold out and this was down to resellers. Now the same resellers are complaining. Everyone that I know that has gone there has been generous with their praise.

1 crate of egg in Ajah Market is 3700 wholesale price

Did I ever say such.. bdw why asking me? I'm I responsible for the hardship. You don't suffer people just because you want to show us u know how things are done. The guy should cover himself in shame cos he has swallowed his words multiple times.

Must you buy from them. Go to where it is cheap..

When our governors do not let local governments work, they will become petty traders talking about rice and tomatoes

When this Oonje Eko first came out, I condemned the move and some Agbado crew where telling me that my state governor cannot do this so I laughed. The govt is just out to milk the people dey those ass-lickers Association members will not believe. We are observing as the bubble is busting slowly

GanagiBitrus:

Anything palliative in Nigeria is often laden with corrupt & sharp practices.
Govt should just focus on providing good governance & other things will fall in place.

Our Govt itself is the major problem. It's awfully expensive to run. How I wish we really knew how much gets wasted/stolen wasted by this same Govt, these politicians wouldn't want to step out of their houses without maximum security. Nothing good could come out of this government. It's not pessimism but a fact. Things are going to get really bad

I doubt the veracity of this news, but I won’t say much till I head out there to see for my self. Will update as soon as I return.

One thing I have learnt about Nigerians is that once money is involved and maybe it's cash, never trust anyone or anything

That's why I will never support the government dishing money or whatever to the people, it's just a conduit pipe for some fraudsters to make more money

Government go build markets, some persons will claim to buy it and then begin resell it at astronomical price

Most of these schemes are settlement rather than succour to the populace

Subsidies, especially consumer subsidies, NEVER work out well in the long run in any country on this earth. The cost is always worse than the benefit.

Nigeria is suffering from inflation. Inflation didn't magically start happening. It happened because government printed excess amounts of money to maintain previous subsidies on fuel, electricity, university education, rice, pilgrimages etc. This program will also fail, just like the new law imposing monthly rent will cause more problems than it solves.

Just like LAKE rice program failed - https://guardian.ng/features/why-lake-rice-disappeared-from-lagos/

The ONLY path to sustainable, long term economic development is through free market policies. Sadly the Nigerian people have consistently shown a preference for socialist policies and they will continue to get socialist results.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

See how you and your children are depending on palliative to eat garri produced in your own country. Ohh what a shame on Yourubandits.
Do you mean you will continue to expect handouts from government till your die?

Tears of an ipob

Enemies of Nigeria all from a particular region will continue to wail.

Sahara Reporters is the number one fake news media organization in Nigeria.
I don't know why it's obsessed with publishing fake news every hour,Sowore is a very very bitter human being.
Haba,how can any sane human being open their mouth and say the price at Ounje Eko is more expensive that what obtains in the open Market.
I'm sure the dishonest and disgruntled market men and women have unleashed propaganda against the laudable programme of the Government.
The crazy and unpatriotic Nigerians who enjoy inflicting pains on other Nigerians while trying to squeeze more profit in the name of Hardship.
How can anyone say Rice is more expensive at Ounje Eko,a bag of Rice is 50 kilograms and the cheapest bag in Lagos is now around 70000 naira,while the state Government is selling a 5 kilogram bag for 5700, meaning a 50 kilogram bag is around 57000,yet this unpatriotic and crazy elements in Sahara reporters have the guts to claim it's more expensive.
Shame on Sowore and the devilish staffs on his crazy platform.
I bought a crate of Eggs 2 weeks ago in a supermarket for 3950,while it's sold for 2700 at the Ounje Eko market.
Seriously Sahara Reporters is a saboteur and I'm sure it's happy with the hardship people are going through in Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria........

So the opposition should pat the government on the back for the present hardship? Wouldn't that mean the Country is finished? Shouldn't their complaints put the government on their toes? I bet, with people like you they would feel like everything is alright and encouraged to do less.

Many of the infrastructural developments you think they are making might not even stand the test of time. Most, I understand, are even on 'hire purchase' basis. And many consensus developers know how to make shody projects just to last for the time of their consensus. The question is where has our money gone to? Now they are passing the bulk.

What have they given to the workers? Now the agbaya they are are entering into competition with regular marketers and traders as if it is the most normal thing to do. Let traders and marketers close shops and let's see if they can sustain the the people. Treating the symptoms and not the disease itself. To what end? I don't know.

All is well.

Government just reduce the price of fuel, disel and make the naira have value against the dollars you will see that foodstuff will be very cheap..than all this palliative economy you are operating in Nigeria

Everyone: Let's protect these people who carried out investigations of the promised SCAM!

Good jab, but run for your life-o!
