Which poor family
Oga make una dey fear God
A poor family even if dem buy meat only go their farm go pluck vegetables
Dem no go buy kerosene
How much be kerosene

Not to talk of the kerosene of now a days wey dey burn like aviation fuel
And 300naira own no go cook noodles finish before e burn
Either ways they will spend most of it on fuel
So how will that feed them for 2 weeks
Yes the program put food on their tables
But is this the way they will keep walking about Nigeria doing mini mini mini
Who deserves to collect the 5k

bro, Rome they say, was not built in a day.. We have to start from somewhere. If we start from 2k sef, it's not bad.. I know of someone(adult o) collecting extra 2k for coming to school for a month as a driver during holidays .. No matter how small, doing good is better than doing nothing

My issue with it is with the mode of selection and leaving cash with agents
We no Nigerians
Some go collect commission to give u the money

BabaRamota1980:


Even in advanced countries where social programs exist, this is how they began.

What I would like to see is a social program that cater for elderly, for poor, for disabled.

This one they are doing now should be institutionalized and etched into an ACT so successive governments will comply to it rather than using it to abuse the recipients and coercing them solicitously.

My brother this social intervention has been going on since October 2017. Nobody is using it coerce anybody. The poor, elderly and disabled are being catered for through it and if you go through the pictures, you will see that is so.

All you listed is currently ongoing but in the interim the people cannot be left to die while waiting for all you listed. That is the essence of social welfarism.

This is done in saner climes despite the availability of all you listed.

Here, most of these very poor do not own bank accounts which is why cash is preferred unlike in developed countries where social security is paid directly to their accounts.

Ever heard about sustainable development?
Are you aware of the condition of pensioners in the country?

ln those climes you referred to, every individual who is qualified is captured in a data base and they get their benefits regularly.

You may have to give us the definition of "very poor".
I can tell you that where I come from, the coverage won't be up to 1% if anything happened there at all.

This kind of programme is a flash in the pan.
When was the last time you had uninterrupted power for a mere week or had your bath under the shower with water from the public utilities?

BENITAPUSSY:

You are not even a regular on Nairaland so no need to bandy words with you. What manner of a screen name do you have? You must be a juvenile.

These people are mostly not government retirees so are not entitles to pensions.

Pensions are also being handled. FG does not owe. Only states do and the same FG has been bailing out these States so what exactly is your problem?

Nothing becomes all inclusive immediately. It has to begin from somewhere and this has begun and will last for 2 years and while it is ongoing, same people are being introduced to other government empowerment programs like Tradermoni, marketmoni, farmersmoni which are all collateral free loans from the FG to help petty traders, larger sized market people and middle level to top level farmers.

All is going on side by side and a littler research would have availed you of this information in order to stop you from asking ignorant questions which are so elementary to a federal government with a qualified and well experienced economic team.

Well,the username has a meaning you may not understand.

Am sure they just started giving out the 5k and that 5k was not just just for the poor but for the unemployed until they get jobs.

Smart way of giving 5k rather than on election day

Thats why, it will be very hard for any party to oust APC in any election at all level,this is called legal bribing,they understood politics alot.

Let me school you a bit.

This program has been on since October 2017 and did not begin now nor is it because of the election.

It has been going on monthly to date without much noise and this should let you know it had nothing to do with elections.

This program is sustainable for another 2 years which is the aim of the government which is why they rolled out other empowerment programs like Tradermoni, Marketmoni, Farmersmoni which are all colaterla free loans from the FG to care for petty traders, small scale marketers and large / small scale farmers . Enough to get them self reliant and out of poverty levels. Over 300k people nationwide have already taken advantage and are directly benefiting from them.

This government may have borrowed but they did so to fund infrastructure and not to pay salaries which is something the past administration cannot boast about despite having huge returns on soil sales.

This government even with half of that in cost of crude has never borrowed to pay salaries but has consistently been given bail outs.

At $130 per barrel of crude, the PDP government still rendered about 30 states bankrupt and unable to pay salaries but even when oil was $27 per barrel PMB was still able to pay bail out funds to States and has never owed any till date.
This government is better than what we had and keeps getting better.

If with what you said you actually thought you were economically sound, you simply succeeded in deceiving yourself.

sometimes you just have to ignore this people sometimes I wonder if they are from another planet the Agric department in my LGA have been busy given out loans to farmers curtsey of the fg

Quietly?? And we didnt hear?? Teacher school me. Until you become à free thinker, enjoy your change.

By the way Nigerian economy at the moment does not favour business growth so taking à loan is just unnecessary gbese.

I beg to differ my business has grown and is still growing under this Nigerian economy so stop with your beer parlour gossip. I have first hand experience.

Since you claim you didn't hear that then confirms my "quietly" position. However it was loud enough for beneficiaries and those who truly needed it to hear

You definitely sound like you are one of the people feeding fat in this exercise in misplaced priority. No wonder you are putting up this much defence.

I can imagine you, lower level worker, starry-eyed behind some cheap desk scribbling names next to some paltry N5000. Go ahead and beat your chest in deceit.

I just laughed at your idiocy right now.

I run my own very profitable business and do not need this from the government. However I am putting our information for those you might.

People like you who are mouthing off all manner of rubbish devoid of human compassion shows how much you need such FG programs as these before poverty eliminates you

Kindly tell us how much you have sent to any aged person(s) in your village since the beginning of this year?

So your prayer for the aged people in your village is that people send them money from the city? Wow I see how innovative you are and how much you wish them well. If this is what you want for your people, that's on you.

I want good governance, security, progressive economy, old people who are taken care of not given stupid loans to make them vote a party and then have them return the money after elections.

You've been doing a great job sir, I salute your courage. Its very evidentful that we can't all sleep and face the same direction. People with diverse point of view and interpretation of gestures.

I don't blame those who don't see anything good in what the current government is doing, we all have a past and some people are just so stuck in it that it'll be hard for them to get over.

I for one is an entrepreneur (for those who truly understand what it means anyway) and I must say, if you can package your idea well, you have the best market in the world to sell it despite any condition the country is. But we are in a country where we are so used to bail outs, cheap and free money/incentives.

It's hard for someone who is not of like mind to see your vision. And it takes more than a binoculars to see into the future.

Please keep up the good work sir, your likes and many others like you are needed in the country in order to keep our dear land moving.

PS: For the conditional transfer, I'm so aware of when it started, at the beginning, most beneficiaries believed it was a state owned programme, I guess it's a reason why the FG had to announce to the world that it's their project.

How is this social welfare program now SME loan?

Are you this ignorant or just an illiterate since you cannot tell the difference between a social welfare program and a social empowerment program such as this 5k and the SME program.

The SME program was not announced last week. It began in 2017. Stop with your ignorance.
