I have someone that hasn't been paid for almost 6 months now.
If you believe they still receiving their pay, tell me where the FG is getting money to pay them when 2.4 billion naira is being spent daily on fuel subsidy.
Remember also that the scheme was supposed to be funded through money that is saved by fuel subsidy removal.

Bros, I believe say you go school.

You cannot because of 'someone', an isolated case make such generalization. It is totally wrong and unacceptable.

I also have someone who had mix-ups too, which eventually got resolved and she was paid the backlog in a lump. In fact, she bought me a phone valued at N30,000 out of joy and appreciation for the support and advice I offered her through the period the issue lingered.

In case you are not aware, I make bold to inform you that over 150,000 Nigerians receive their regular pay on the Npower programme. If your person has an issue, he / she must employ patience and diligence to see that it is resolved.

As for your subsidy and N2.4 billion talk, I will advice that you 'leave matter wey pass your level'. Government has different sources of income and it's their responsibility to source funds to execute their programmes.

Enjoy your day bro.

Navalsadiq:
oga keep quiet I am a researcher.they are the once that have caused these havoc.at least 30k they enter people account.

The guy you quoted seemed really ignorant.

He said 'embezzled but the economy was good'. Imagine that level of ignorance! Who allowed such person to even get on the Social Media? Lol.

How was the economy good when the first thing the APC government did as it assumed office was to 'bail out' 19 states that were 'completely' unable to pay workers salaries with N330billion? When the then FG had to borrow less than N500billion to pay April 2015 workers salaries?

don4real18:
Though some ppl are benefitting from this, I still feel that the allowance is ridiculous. 30k mtcheew

It is not, besides it is supposed to serve as a lifeline while they try to get other things to do.

gentlegenius:
I don't know why this useless APC government choose to play politics with almost everything. It seems like almost everything they say or do now is aimed at getting our support at the polls.
The N-Power scheme was instigated to reinvest the money we saved by fuel subsidy removal into paying our uneducated graduates to work for the period of 1 year.
When crude oil was selling for about $60 per barrel, and the importation cost of petrol was around 145 naira per litre, the federal government was paying almost nothing to subsidise fuel. So the money they could have spent on fuel subsidy was channelled in paying N power beneficiaries. That's why the scheme was working then.
Right now, crude oil sell for almost $80 per barrel and petrol importation cost 205 naira per liter when we are still buying fuel for 145, the 60 naira surplus is paid by the federal government through the NNPC. Due to the enormous quantity of petrol consumed in this country, the government now spends about 2.4 billion naira every day on fuel subsidy.
With such expenditure, where will the government get money to fund the N power scheme?
Why can't this government tell us the truth that they can no longer fund the scheme because they are unable to remove fuel subsidy completely.
They just keep lying to us about the scheme so that they could get our support at the polls. The truth is that for some months now, they haven't been able to pay those who were already admitted into the scheme. But they keep promising us that new beneficiaries will be recruited.
Even the feeding of primary school pupils stopped since last term in my area, yet this yeye government still boast of that as if it was a remarkable achievement in the first place. All this lies is just to seek our support at the polls.

List the schools in your area where the School Feeding Programme has stopped.

What do you mean by 'for months now they haven't been able to pay those that they have engaged'?

I know so many of them across many states and they have been getting their pay.

walex25:
The truth is, that panelty was soft. Mascherano's hand was in contact with Leon Balogun but it was Leon that leaned back and not the Argentine player pulling him. We were lucky to be awarded that kick.

And all those screaming that the ref was biased towards Nigeria, have no idea about some of the rules in the game of football.

We had the chance to bury the game and Ighalo squanderd it.

Shikenan

You are an unbiased analyst.

We shouldn't have been awarded that penalty, yet people are complaining about the other one where the ball brushed off an Argentine player's head and touched his upper arm....how on earth is that supposed to be a penalty?

Why Ighalo no score that clear goal?

Paperwhite:
He can say whatever he want but it was good we lost.Nigeria is total anarchy back home that a win would have not make any difference.

Perhaps, there is anarchy where you stay. There isn't anarchy in Nigeria.

I can bet you know nothing about the word.

Flexherbal:
May the souls of all those who died in Jos rest in peace!

That game did not take any life.

Let us all think of how to stop the killings all over Nigeria.
Our leaders are not doing enough.

Na for here we go dey think am?

All these are results of failed / broken families and communities / societies.

While government remains tasked with the protection of lives and properties, community / religious leaders, parents and relevant institutions must live up to their primary responsibilities of instilling the right moral values as well as promoting the sacred doctrine of the sanctity of human life.

Until these key stakeholders wake up to their duties, we will keep playing politics with the killings, and of course the blame-game will remain.

Bayonle10:
Omo I dey support Argentina o, I con dey use style do like say e dey pain me as Argentina score, when them give Nigeria penalty ehn e pain me I just dey celebrate, con see as I scatter everywhere when Rojo score die minute one guy tell me for first half say "" you sure say you support Nigeria cus I dey reload dey check wetin Croatia dey play.
The kind joy wey that Messi alone Don give me for this life ehn

Lol.

See as e be like say na me post this thing.

Only Messi can make me unpatriotic.

AgbitiOnne:
the referee is clearly the man of the match
we were robbed

Big lie!

Deltayankeeboi:
For Donald?? no hope. Under the circumstances we have found ourselves, anything just to send the terrorist president packing come 2019 is highly welcomed.

Personally for me, i think Donald Duke is building castles in the air.

I don't see him getting block votes from the North. I doubt if he has any stronghold there.

Be it as it may, I believe Atiku is currently the only candidate strong enough to challenge the terrorist president for votes in the North.

I am not supporting anybody yet but believe me Atiku is our best bet in sending the terrorist president packing.

They are both evil but between both of them, we have to choose the lesser evil "Atiku" for the benefit of all.

Atiku again? He won't win. Trust me!

Mynd44:
You cannot work for a company and bash the same company.

Hell, you cannot work for a company whose major client is government and bash the government because they can complain and withdraw their patronage which will affect your company.

Employees have a responsibility not to bring the company to disrepute

Leave him let him keep posting recklessly on Social Media.

You work in an Agency under a government that has been doing it's best to stem the tide of violence, kidnapping and killings in the country, and all you can do is, go to Social Media to criticize them.

There is no sane government that will condone such inciting campaign. If he was working for me, I will sack him straight a way and wait for the resulting court action.

In case he doesn't know, most international organizations now screen through Social Media accounts of their would-be employees to have an idea of the sort of person they are employing.

This sort of campaigns are better done as an outsider.

hisgrace090:
10 billion naira is a big promise to the people but let secure life first.

Arrest this Fulani's and punish them for once.

What are you saying?

Arrest any Fulani person you mean?

What are the roles of community and traditional leaders in all of this, especially knowing that the crisis and killings date back to several decades.

We must stop ascribing tribe to terror. It's simply senseless.

SalamRushdie:
Osinbanjo is nothing but another greedy little man who can't imagine life outside Aso Rock again

You are entitled to your opinion.

benuejosh:
Yesterday a poor woman's child fell inside the well somewhere in the neighborhood, no police visited to console or investigate. Probably she was poor and not known. I am not against their move. I console with the family on whatever thing that led to that little kid's death. However, police shouldn't use this avenue to try and promote themselves. If D'Banj was the poor woman or a poor Dad, would they do same?? Eye Service i would call it.

Your point exactly is?

There is no where in this world where the poor and the rich (perhaps influential) get the exact same level of attention.

Please, tell me of that place...

RIP Little Daniel.

lovat:
Then tell us how Yusuf got fifty million naira to buy a power bike.


Buhari, you are a Bloody Theif

Show documents of purchase of the power bike please.

iamkeyz:
And the skull mining continues. NNCAN over to you

They won't say anything and won't act as well.

zombieHUNTER:
The blood of the innocent in Benue will hunt all those who brought this terrorist in Aso rock

What of the innocent people that have been killed all across the country and abroad over the years?

No Nigerian deserves to die, especially unjustly. If not for politics, why single out Benue, do innocent people not die everywhere else?

TonyeBarcanista:
Nigerians are fed up with APC

Nigerians?

Some Nigerians you mean?

baby124:
Awon Agbalagba ton Se langbalangba! Any youth that votes for the grandfathers in 2019, and make themselves touts to these nuisances, May thunder continue firing you till the 7th generation. Don’t let these Agbaya’s continue to steal your wealth and hold wizard and witch meetings. Who in Lagos did OBJ help? He didn’t even help his Ogun people. All selfish bastards and psychopaths. They should be asked to account for their time in leadership and how they helped the Yoruba youth

Exactly! Obasanjo should be telling us what he did or did not do while in office, and not all this nonsense.

He should better not remind me of the power sector and the huge investments that only ended up creating more darkness in Nigeria.

shina49:
is that what u think?...you may be wrong...that man understand politics more than u think

Lol.

Obasanjo no understand any politics. Leave that matter abeg.

Cornerstone2020:
Obasanjo can only make impact when he swallows his pride support pdp , supporting a structureless party at this time won't work.

I am yet to see a party in Nigeria that is almost single- handedly influenced by one individual that made as much impact as the AC under Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and CPC under Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).

Obasanjo own na make dem cook finish make e come chop. Lol.

Let's see what he does with his ADC. No be letter writing matter o.

DrGoodman:
I already released one


https://www.nairaland.com/4578606/senator-abaribe-support-group-release

Oh, as his support group and not as DSS.

You wan do support group work and DSS work at the same time abi? You go choose one na.

My brother, it's not about anybody for me. Anyone who has a case, should go answer simple.

DrGoodman:
Why did he reveal that N30 billion was smuggled into the ppwer budgets he had chaired its appropriation and arrested same morning he made the calls?

Answer that.

Since you know everything that transpired why not make the press statement on behalf of the DSS stating your facts?

DrGoodman:
witch hunt

Lol.

Hunting Abaribe abi? Is he seeking the Office of President? Did you forget that he is a surety of Nnamdi Kanu?

Abeg, anyone who has a case should go and answer for himself / herself.

How much defence do we put up for commoners that are being arrested everyday?

clevvermind:
The senator is a big threat to Buhari and buhari himself don't like such people hence looking for a way to eliminate him.

Abaribe, a threat to Buhari?

Anyway, you are obviously not Nigerian.

Engaging you will amount to a futile effort.

DrGoodman:
For all the Igbos supporting one Nigeria, your turn is coming faster than you think.

Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe is an Igbo Hero. We hail you Sir.

Mtcheeew. Who is talking about tribe here?

BTW What did Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe do exceptionally in Igboland to be a hero?

Abeg, let's allow agencies of government to their jobs.

If he has no case to answer, he will certainly be released.

Iamemma:
This is bad for democracy

Infact I support those calling for His Excellency Alhaji Musa to take over from Buhari

And how good will it be for our democracy if it turns out that he genuinely has a case to answer?

Has a statement being made on his arrest? Comments like this are even more harmful for our nascent democracy.

zombieHUNTER:
They chase around the opposition
There is no corruption fight Anywhere

If you doubt me
Who is more corrupt than Tinubu in the country?

And what did the last administration find on Asiwaju Tinubu when he was prosecuted? Or wasn't he?

AkupeMBANO:
who be this one?

Say what you want to say.
You know what I said made sense.

AkupeMBANO:
voting Buhari into power in this country was the highest crime committed by Nigerians. he has succeeded in rubbishing our Democracy to the logical end. immediately you speak against APC led administration, embarrassment will come knocking at your door step. buhari is indeed a legendary dullard.

Oga, if you have committed any crime you may turn yourself in to the police. I have not committed any crime.

Just because a Senator is arrested, you come here to talk nonsense. Do you care how many commoners get arrested everyday? Is Senator Abaribe above the law? Couldn't you have waited for the reason for his arrest to be made public?

Abeg, go sidon jare! Mtcheeew.

zombieHUNTER:
The total clampdown on opposition begins
As elections draws near

There is a tyrant in Aso rock


Democracy is under attack

I guess Joshua Dariye and Jolly Nyame are opposition too?

To think that the reason for his arrest has not be given and you are saying this puts your sense of judgement to question.

dodelight:
Despite the fact that I'm no fan of Rotimi Amaechi, he is the only minister that's actually working hard in this administration. He actually wishes Buhari has something to point as achievement by 2019, but sorry for him, his boss doesn't have administrative success in his DNA.

Leave where you are and move around.

It would be laughable to say that this administration has not achieved.

Just sit down one day and process the economic gains that stems from cutting down rice importation by over 70% alone, from foreign exchange savings to improving farmer earnings and food security.

Let's not talk of the massive investments in road, bridge, rail and power projects. Have you asked yourself why the foreign reserve balance is increasing as against what the situation was even while we were in a period of boom?
