The Nigerian government plans to make cash payments to poor people of about $25 per month to try to ease poverty and stimulate the economy, the vice-president said on Thursday, a plan that would cost a total of about $300 million per annum, Reuters reports..

“One million poor and vulnerable Nigerians would receive 5,000 naira ($25) monthly,” Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo said in a statement outlining government
priorities for the next 12 months.

Osinbajo did not say how these benefits would be funded, saying only there were part of a 6.06 trillion naira record budget for 2016 which parliament passed last month. Buhari still has to sign the bill.

The government has said it wants to borrow as much as $5 billion abroad but has not detailed how it wants to plug a budget deficit which officials have put in the range of between 2.2 trillion and 3 trillion naira.

Buhari has rejected a devaluation of the naira, which would hit poor people as Nigeria needs to import much of its food needs.

APC reminds me of flipflop

In tubaba's voice: if you ain't gat nothing to say, shatap, shatap, shatap, shatap!

He will deny it by tomorrow. He seems high from sniffing dolapo panties.

Change doesn't come easy ..You have to go through some things ..Its hard today ..Y'all blaming Baba ..I know for sure its gonna be good one day ..#betterdays ahead ..if you believe click like ..share if you don't #Sai Baba

It seems Buhari and Osinbajo are not on the same page on this issue. The President has told us he won't be paying for idleness, what then is this insistence by the Vice President that the money will be paid?

How to know a MAD man... He wakes up in the morning. Put on his cloth and without washing his face and brushing his teeth, heads straight to the filling station. On getting there, he saw an unprecedented multitudes queuing up for fuel. He spent about 7hours on the queue before it got to his turn and eventually bought PMS for 200/litre. Heads back home, fuel his Generator, charged his phone and then Posted on Facebook #IstandWithBuhari or #Bi@fr@. I pray you all receive sense in Jesus name

Confused bunch on fools...how would this improve the lives of the poor when 5000 can't even buy due food stuffs for a day meal? APC......Party of confused politicians!!!

5k these days will only get you 20 litres of petrol and that's it.

For how long will apc keep making promise
Na like this we go dey dey?
Loading promises upon promises daily.
You never give fuel you dey talk of 1 million sh.it

"we will" "we shall" "we are going to" but I have never heard this govt use "we have". Smh

As if the election is next Saturday... My dear wake up.. Campaign don go.

You people mistook 5k for unemployed youths for 5k for most vulnerable Nigerians.they ain't the same..dont know why the confusion

One day.

One story.

Governance is not rocket science - Osunbade..

That's N60 Billion a year ... For how long are they gonna be paying this?.. Do we have the money to afford that? .. N5 billion monthly where the zoo can't boast of a single function radiotherapy machine in the whole country? .. As in I'm very serious, there is no single functioning radiotherapy machine in this country now ... What a country!
