30k? What is there to show for 30k? 30k can not feed you well if you live in Abuja where I do. 30k is less than 100 dollars. People that live on 100 dollars a month are considered to be living in abject poverty by every standard in the world so what are you talking about?

Which testimony are they talking about? That the government is giving them food or what? So food is what amounts to testimony or what?

Is not meant for people like you broz,,, i know more than 10 people who started their life with less than 30k job, now they have their own houses and cars,, some states pay less than that......

somehow:
Then give them a better job that can earn them 200k or should thr government give them 200k jobs? The insolvent civil servants are already gulping free "salaries" from the govt already.

If civil servants were actually working effectively, we might have had some of them evolve to the stage of create businesses that employs fresh graduates but no, some rather die there collecting money they actually didn't earn work wise.

Abuja(most part) is not for low income earners, let them move to the suburb until their income capacity gets to the living standards of those within main Abuja.

30k is not enough for people living in the suburbs of Abuja. A person earning 30k monthly is living in abject poverty by every standard in the world. N power is NOT an empowerment program since it does NOT lift people out of poverty. People that earn the stipend are still abjedtively poor.

When exactly? I knew when my mum was earning 50k as a medical doctor many years ago. 30k now is not an earning that can do anything apart from feed you. Anybody earning 30k is abjedtively poo by all standards in the world. 30k is less than 100 dollars.

somehow:
How then do civil servants earning #18k feeding if #30k can't feed your relatives? I know of a couple we feed with #25k monthly and if you see them, you would think they eat at eko hotel everyday due to the freshness of their skin.

What am i saying? If someone who's not married claims 30k is not feeding him or her, then something is wrong.

In this world, no one does just one business/job, else he won't progress from his current stage.

#30k is small but let them diverstify.

Ogneni what are you saying? A bag of rice alone is about 16k and you are saying that 25k feeds a couple? That only happens in your imaginations. 25k can NOT feed a couple for one month. How much is a kilo of meat? What about other ingredients and vegetables? How much is a kondo or bag of beans. A bottle of palm oil and other stuffs. Ogbeni be serious pls.

Ziggylady:
My point is not whether or not there are beneficiaries elsewhere,it is making that a reason to vote them back..30kNaira a month for crying out loud!..

This is a government who through their horrible economic policies threw millions of people into the unempolyment market..Oil workers,bankers et al included,devalued the Naira thereby causing the prices of goods and services to double and triple in most cases.with the attendant poverty and lack spreading like wild-fire.Policies that made lots of companies shut down and leave the country..and sane people are supposed to applaud them for 30k stipend a month?..


Its incredible!

Sane Nigerians knew how we got there. They knew at what point things started deteriorating. The good thing many appreciate abt npower is not outrightly the money bin paid but the transparency in hw it is bin done. Tell me one social program we ve had in the past that is as ppl friendly as this even in the time of plenty...

So you mean a couple will eat one bag of rice for a month? since you don't know zilch when it comes to kitchen stuff. The people earning #18k monthly or even less must have all died by now.

Let me break it down to you incase you don't know. there are people feeding even with less than 20k a month, some even spend less than 15k a month.

And no sir, a bag of rice is not 16k everywhere, some places have bags of rice for 11k, 12k. smaller bag sizes are 9k and even 8k.

Now if you want me to break down how to spend 20k monthly (2 people).

Go with me on the tour:

1 derica of rice is #220 in Lagos
1 derica of beans is #300 in lagos

Yam is like #400-#600 here in Lagos

Spag is #180
Semo is #220 (small one)

Sachet tomatoes with pepper is #50 here in Lagos, the one without pepper is same

A gallon of Palm oil is #650
Groundnut oil is #750

maggi sachet is 220

sachet of salt is 60

gas is #3k

1 kilo of titus is 1100, kote is 1100, shawa is 600.

kilo of chicken is 1100, turkey is 1200

egusi is 300 for milk cup, ogbono is 500 for tin cup.

Depending on how both couple eat, 20k should feed you both for a month unless you're the type that eat more than what you earn.

don't let anyone deceive you, 10k can feed you same as 100k. so whoever tells you he cant eat because he earns 30k monthly is deceiving you, planning for the future with such earnings might be something else, but feeding is covered.

I repeat, no one does a single job anywhere in the world again, you must have multiple streams of incomes. only few people on earth can do one job and live the life they want.

Did Npower stop anyone from getting other sources of income? if 30k is not enough in Abuja, the person should go for what can be enough for him or her na or is the government forcing anyone with Npower? Npower is to help those who have nothing to do at present, not for those who have options, it's more like a stepping stone for those with better plans ahead.

Minimum wage is #18k, yet alot still go for these same civil service jobs, yet we have more civil servants in Nigeria. How are they surviving and why haven't they all died? Because alot of people don't rely on just 1 job, so why should anyone rely on just Npower?

There is no civil service job that pays a graduate 18k. There is none!

You've already acknowledged that NPower can not help any body get out of poverty so I really do not know what you are arguing about. Npower power is NOT an empowerment scheme since people that earn the 30k (less than 100 dollars ) live in abject poverty by any standard in the world.

I thought you have a point but you didn't disappoint with your empty brain though.

The slave that loves his chain must forever remain in slavery.

Quote where i said so.

Thanks

And you said you're in Nigeria? Or is LG no longer civil service? some have basic salary at #18k.

Am not in Nigeria but I visit regularly. LG doesn't pay university graduates 18k.

No point arguing with you.

You're so far away, yet trying to be an authority where you don't reside.
