[color=royalblue]If an LGA chairman says he's sharing rice and invites only Tracka to cover it, how do you expect Punch newspaper or Premium Times to know?

Or better still, kindly give us the location of the next center to receive. [/color]

Ibime:
Hahahaha. You are a comedian.

So you believe 11 million people in Nigeria are on register.

Can you get in touch with your hunchos in APC? I can create the extra 1 million households and 6 million people for them using a random generator that they can sell to the public. I will make sure the households are fairly distributed across all LGs to represent Federal character. It will not take me more than 2 days. I must chop join.

izzou:
[color=royalblue] Government is sharing 20k in Jigawa that is not on lockdown.

Like Ibime said, even BBN sef nack advert for radio and billboards sef. Why this NIS -whatever no do same? Abi poorest of the poor no dey see signboard or poster?

Larride, abeg just sit this one out. Yes, you have verifiable facts, but this one na Sinzu and Spending tactics dem use

I'm yet to see another media outfit covering the sharing of the 20k except Tracka.

Let Buhari enjoy his tenure. This one was never different from the 16 years wey PDP run us street

Ibime:
How does this infographic tally with Buharis claim of over 1m households on the register. These numbers aren't adding up.

diggz:
You're either being a biased party man or you're deliberately underestimating how corrupt the system is my guy. I choose to go with the later unlike those who have concluded you're just a party man.

I'll assume you're being sarcastic when you mention the corner of my room because from west to east to south and down to north of this Naija, I can bet my two testicles you've not been to half of the states/LGs and villages I've been to my guy.

You've never met those poor individuals your apc membership is making you believe they've fed or are feeding. Stop talking with authority on things you don't even know the half of, because it'll take more than following the pages of Twitter handle and all the useless paid pages of papers to know what is going on in Nigeria.

I'm sure you've never seen me engage in any political debate on NL before. Just take it as a matter of fact that you know not what you speak of if you're relying on Twitter or whatever this useless government puts out there.

diggz:
Those who are the intended beneficiaries of this programme are not on social media, the best way to get to them is through their communities since the community is closer to them and in most cases they know each other

You really don't know how Naija works if you believe what you've typed up there.

diggz:
Who determines the poorest of the poor? How do they find these people?

So with all the knowledge you get on Naija matters you no sabi how things dey go down? Na wa sha...

Ibime:
There is no register. They quickly did a Ghost register so they can get some funds repatriated from World Bank as larride explains below.

BlueRayDick:
You didn't explain anything. Okokomaiko is a locality under Ojo LGA where the poorest of the poor reside in Lagos, why are people in this area not registered under the scheme. The talk about people not getting the info because they choose not to is not acceptable.

The whole idea of the social register being shrouded in secrecy is dubious in nature. Accepted It may not be meant for me, but who supposed to be the beneficiary don't even know about its existence. Is it not wise for the Govt to disseminate such info so I can encourage those who I know amongst them to register and become beneficiaries?

Ibime:
APC staged pictures. Larride, how much is your cut inside the social register?

Ibime:
There is nobody on no damn register. In the whole of Nairaland, nobody has heard of anybody on no damn register except Larride. 1 in 10 Nigerians are supposedly on this register and nobody knows them. Even NASS members don't know. Na audio register for some APC members to chop money. How does someone compile a register of 17m Nigerians and nobody knows about it.

BlueRayDick:
The bold part of Ur statement is totally untrue. The best form of passing information like that is through radio jingles in English, Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Languages. If the government has not passed the information through this medium, then you can't claim the people don't care to get the information or disregard it as audio.

I listen to radio to and from work, no day did I hear any jingle advising people to go to their local goverment for inclusion in the social register. I hear jingles by FIRS, LIRS encouraging people to pay tax, why is telling people of a package that will benefit them difficult for this government?( That is if there is actually such programme in place)

Ibime:
Story for the gods. We know Nigerians that struggle to eat day to day and ain't on no damn register. You mean to tell me those incompetent nincompoops can keep a register of like 17m people. When did they open the register? When did people queue to sign up, and nobody in the country was aware of it. Even common Big Brother audition, we know when they are queueing. Larride, stop publicising your audio register. Are you eating from it?

Ibime:
Ghost register. Who is eating the money?

BlueRayDick:
1. If NISRAL is supposed to disburb the money tagged as economic stimulus 2 weeks into federal government ordered lockdown, don't u think that is failure on the part of the government?

Below is an excerpt of Buhari's speech

In the past two weeks, we announced palliative measures such as food distribution, cash transfers and loans repayment waivers to ease the pains of our restrictive policies during this difficult time. These palliatives will be sustained

Anybody who sees that will think the Federal government has done something tangible for people adversely affected by the lockdown; which of course is not the reality based on Ur post above. You see why I agreed with diggz that the goverment is still using propaganda despite being in power for 5 years now.

2. The issue of social register/ social welfare programme, I will not lie to you I got to learn about that on this thread while u were converting with someone last week. I beleive the government for reasons best known to them refused to give the programme publicity and create awareness so the people who are supposed to be beneficiaries will register. I don't know of anybody in my locality that is a beneficiary under the scheme, most people are unaware of the existence of the programme.

There are government owned TV and radio stations that can be used to run jingles to encourage people to register for this of the government is actually serious and being sincere about this programme. Things like that should be the job of National Orientation Agency. What are they doing? I know a lot of retired people who clutch on to their radio listening to news for news items like this. These are people who learnt about registration of LASRAA on radio, if the government announces this social welfare programme on radio I'm sure they won't hesitate to register.

This is why Ekiti, Osun and other states will continue to have low number of people registered under the programme because nobody is passing this info to them

Ibime:
My friend, there is no register. Stop all this cōck and büll story.

diggz:
Propaganda government. Apc o! Pdp o! All of them na criminals.

BlueRayDick:
I just tire Jàre.

BlueRayDick:
If I get the explanation above, what u are saying is there is already a social welfare scheme in place that pays 5k to registered vulnerable and less privileged people every month. Now the 20k being shared is the arrears of the past 3 months and this current month for the existing beneficiaries under the social welfare scheme

1. My question is if the above is correct, it means the FG is presently not doing anything to cushion the effect of the lockdown because the 20k being shared is just to the existing beneficiaries of the social welfare programme and not those adversely affected by this lockdown.

2. Why is the government saying it is giving stimulus package to people adversely affected by the lockdown when it is just continuing with the existing social welfare programme and nothing else?

3. The planned expansion of the register for the social welfare programme, on what premise will it be done? Will it be to include people affected by the lockdown or just normal addition of beneficiaries under the existing social welfare programme?

BlueRayDick:
Alright I get Ur explanation. The problem I have with FG concerning the palliative measures is how they are going about it. If he claims 2.6m people have benefited from the stimulus package, how many of those 2.6m people are situated in Lagos, Ogun and FCT where he ordered total lockdown?

I live in Lagos and I'm yet to hear of any close by local government that it's people have been beneficiaries of this stimulus package. If the government is claiming people in Nassarawa, etc are the poor and vulnerable this may be far from the truth. I once stayed at Okoko as a student and I saw poverty in full HD in that part of Lagos. These are the people who need the stimulus package, not those in other states where the lockdown is not in force.

I fear there might be Chaos before this 2 weeks extension lapses with the way things are going.

Hazardfan1:
Thanks bros, didn't do it alone though.

BlueRayDick:
Buhari extends lockdown for another 14 days. Sincerely I have questions o. @larride I won't mind if u can shed light on some of the issues.

1. Buhari claimed they've done 92% contact tracing of infected persons, which means they've almost identified all those who came in contact with infected persons. If this figure is correct, then why go ahead with another 14 days extension of the total lockdown?

2. Buhari in his word claimed:

No country can afford the full impact of a sustained restriction of movement on its economy.I am fully aware of the great difficulties experienced especially by those who earn a daily wage such as traders, dayworkers, artisans and manual workers

Yet is announcing a further extension of the lockdown that will ensure these set of people experience further difficulties with no reasonable palliative measure in sight. I was expecting he will mention something tangible being done to ease the difficulties these people are facing.

3. Why is he restricting lockdown to Lagos, Ogun and FCT when we have a sudden rise in COVID-19 cases in Osun and 8 more states that had no confirmed cases as at 30th March when he announced the initial lockdown?

Skimpledawg:
I would have posted receipts here but not necessary. One of my fellow Youth pastor who is a doctor but now resides in Abuja with his wife (a nurse) complained bitterly about FGs' treatment of health workers in the face of this Covid-19.

They proposed 50k for doctors and 30k for nurses but FG doesn't want it in black and white paper but lip talk.

I don't see what's wrong in agreeing to increase the hazard allowances of health personnels accross the country in the face of this menace.
