How much food can N20K buy?

All Poverty Congress

Ahigbo1:
Make school fees affordable to the benefit of both parents and students, not giving loans

Under this policy, the government pays the school fees. Parents pay ZERO school fees. On top of that, the government gives the student N20k per month.

And you are still not happy

For many of you people, it is all about the fact that your candidate did not win election.

You condemn any good thing done by the person that won.

If it was Ghana that introduced this policy, your type would be praising Ghana as a 'sane' country.

abc115:
It is not compulsory

the man in this picture is a joke

Money that cannot buy a quarter bag of rice or beans lol 😆

RealityKings:
Fun Fact... Things 20,000 can buy

2 bowls or rice (2600 x2) 5200
1 bowl of beans _________4300
2 bowls of Garri (1500x2) 3000
Palmoil ____1200
5 Eggs ___1000
2 Spaghetti _____2000
Salt 100
Seasonings____400
Milk (no even reason am)
Data subscription ____2000
Airtime 1000

Total is 20,200

All this is excluding Transportation to school

It won't even last you 2 weeks before the 20 finish..

So they should stop the loan?

You ask for urgent 20k, you complain I gave you only 5 or 10k. I think it is better I don’t give you anything!

Mom007:
Chai! Nigeria sorry...
This is really pathetic. How is this supposed to help anyone? Is it a palliative? What is this?

So, it is a bad thing for the government to pay ALL your school fees for the 4 or 5 years you spend in a University?

It is also a bad for the government to ALSO pay directly into your account N20,000 per month throughout the 4 or 5 years that you are in University?

All of that is useless abi?

You people are never happy with any good news.

Clueless leadership

Students did not even ask for it.

Mr Tinubu promised it in his Election Manifesto, and he has delivered it in roughly 1 year.

That is unprecedented in the political history of Nigeria.

Incidentally, unlike Mr Tinubu and Atiku, Mr Obi was the only major candidate that DID NOT PUBLISH A MANIFESTO for that election.

The man is a joke.

Tinubu and his men don finally ment ooo

The loan is not for them to live like kings. It’s majorly to pay their schools fee and still have a stipend to play around with. The loan should also not be too much so that the burden of repayment won’t be much. The N20k stipend is minus the school fee that is paid to the school directly.

Again, it’s a loan. If you don’t need it, don’t take it.

God bless you for this amazing explanation some slowpoke has concluded that was the educational loan promised by the government

jojothaiv:
The OP and the mod that pushed this topic to FP need to arrested.

Idiotic headline.

Mumudient....

Stock foodstuffs with 20k in today's Nigeria? What can that paltry sum buy? Enough of this useless propaganda, please.

geoworldedu:
The 20k should be a dash, not a loan.

You can forward this as a suggestion to the board.

Audio students

A true Nigerian student knows that 20k won't last him or her not less than 48 hours

geoworldedu:

Exactly 💯

SocialJustice:
Why is it a loan, why not a grant? What has the common man really benefitted from subsidy removal?

Not all common men will benefit even if it is a grant, if you want it to be sustainable as time goes, u know a grant won't suffice.

OP,the #20,000 is not a loan.
It is pocket money and it will be given to the students every month.
The school fees which is interest free,will be paid straight to the accounts of the different schools.

Boss how do I join your team.
I Don find job taya

I don't have a team.

"Stock foodstuffs with ₦‎20,000 Loan"

Stop spreading lies. The 20k is not a loan. It's a stipend giving to the students and not to.be paid back. Only the tuition fees will.b3 paid back.. This is first in Nigeria history

You are truly living your Monika

Kindly go back and read the headline the OP posted and redirect your correction towards the op

Ask the management of your school.

Savage!

JagabanB:
What do you suggest?
The govt should give 200k every month to the students abi?
So that when they can't pay tomorrow, same u will come out with another round of analysis.

I would have rounded up with ONKR!

LadyExcellency:
What is N20,000? If a plate of food costs 1000 for a meal, what will N20,000 cover in Abuja?

#1,000 for Abuja...?
Even road side mama put you won't get a reasonable quantity.
It's from #1,600 to #2,500

LadyExcellency:

No need to engage those wailing children of frustration.

They are always bitter about a positive news in Nigeria.

Allow them to wail. It is in their blood

what is the essence of these initiative by the mumu govt really ?? what is 20k compared to the cost of tution fee these days or cost of living

why can't the govt subsidize education,afterall they have billions to renovate Vp quarters & aso rock .... even graduates that have no loan to repay it takes grace of God to stand on there own how much these ones that will start life repaying loaans .. and before you bring developed countries into the conversation check unemployment rate, Nigeria no reach to copy

You guys always sound foolish in effort to criticise government policies. School fees fully paid and 20k per month for feeding. How much are you giving your mother monthly for feeding?
