Why can't government introduce food stamp to help Nigerians cushion the effect of high cost of living?

If they introduce it, it will only be for the politicians and their families. Our politicians are demons in human form that like seeing the average Nigerian suffer. It gives them joy. Their karma will be spectacular and I can’t wait for the fallout. Nothing like fake Jesus or fake Mohammed to save them.

Government should feed you stamps with my tax money? Or is it the dwindling oil money they should stamp you with?

Personally, I'd prefer that food stamp money go into improving the education and health system.

Food stamp is different from educational allocation, here in US people get food stamp to buy only grocery to help people with children that need support,

Nigeria is not US where all income is taxed so they have enough left for both educational allocation and food stamps, and putting the small funds we have into education is helping the children who need support, and the society too by reducing ignorance and poverty.

If you can't support your children, please consider birth control or have less sex. Society should not fund your uncontrolled excess.

The belows are to show poor we are.

very correct but Nigeria is a country with natural resources where people can steal without control in the name of corruption.
almost 90% of government spendings in US come from tax both income and corporate.
Nigerians don't pay taxes, but have you ever sat down to find out how government finance her project,? they are monetary inflow from crude oil.
If they can steal, why not give crumbs to the poor inform of food stamp.

Last time I checked, the government was borrowing and getting CBN to print it money, which resulted in inflation and debt and eroded spending power. You might have noticed this in the exchange rate which now requires a lot more Naira to get a dollar.

Rather than letting theft go on so you get crumbs, I'd rather use money to stop the stealing and prosecute the thieves so you get more than the crumbs left over from their stealing, since I don't expect thieves, who haven't shown they are Robin Hood, to give money to the poor in form of food stamps.

By the way, natural resources are useless to people who lack the knowledge to convert it into money. It's why we got cheap natural crude oil but import more expensive petrol.
