Lol
Nigeria is a joke.
That Money is going to be diverted into someone's pocket, Nigeria don't have the basic requirements to pay citizens social package.

1. Base on which national data base or census are they going to work with?
2. Base on what census or data of unemployment level are they going to work with?
3. Which organisation is responsible for social benefit in Nigeria?
4 . What info does the federal have about precise unemployment figures in every state of the federation?

Putting those basic structure in play with take about 8 years before the program can take off.

So forget about receiving 5000naira stipend from Buhari govt.

Another propaganda.

Talk is cheap.

Bring on some actions.

hope it is true

Watching in 5D... Lets hear from the herdman himself

While some are hoping it's true

Some others are saying it's sensless

Some are saying giving graduates fish is never better than teaching them how to catch fish


Some are saying only the northern states and SW will benefit from this



What i will say is #IStandWithBuhari


I didn't vote because of 5000 , but i believe with 5000 reasonable youths can at least live a life while they search for jobs / create jobs

Even in developed economies benefit frauds happen. But that alone is not enough for such schemes to be scrapped

I agree we have a very poor database. But with technology a lot can be achieved pretty quickly with remarkable results. Your role as a citizen is to show your creativity and suggest ways that it can be done... not sit around and regurgitate dead argument. The very poor and vulnerable need this intervention please.

So you see? It might not be a joke after all. It might just turn out to be promise kept. Let's try and be constructive and supportive with the criticism.
