Thank you Tradermoni for your impact in helping small local businesses access to funds. One thing is factual: Getting loans in this part of the world is a lot of work. But thanks to this scheme, users can have easy access to this.

Well done Tradermoni

Lol,

That's one (TI) witness PDP can call to argue vote rigging, vote buying if it gets to it.

Not looking good for APC

Obi wasn't contesting for any position or name as VP candidate when that picture was taken

Same you posted the picture on January 26 last year , Obi was named running mate to Atiku 13th October 2018, below is evidence

bro you are good.Keep exposing those fools. GOD BLESS YOU

Anambralstson:
Transparency International Nigeria has said the TraderMoni scheme, a collateral-free loan initiative targeted at petty traders and artisans as part of the National Social Investment Programme of the Federal Government, is a form of voter inducement.

The chairman of the anti-corruption organisation, Awwal Rafsanjani, who spoke on Lunchtime Politics, a programme of Channels Television, noted that the initiative was an “official use of public funds in the name of TraderMoni to actually induce voters.”
Rafsanjani noted that the TraderMoni scheme was not a programme that was “part and parcel of the manifesto of the ruling party and it is not in Nigerian constitution.”

He added, “It was not done three years ago. It was only started close to election time. So, the allegation by many Nigerians that this is clearly a case of vote buying using public funds goes contrary to our constitution and to having a free and fair election.
“That is why the Independent National Electoral Commission itself has seen this danger. The vote buying we are seeing has transformed to have more official recognition through the acts that unfortunately we are seeing performed by some of the agencies using public funds.

“This is despite the statement by the President that public funds will not be used for his re-election campaign. But this, unfortunately, is contrary to what Nigerians are seeing.”

The Federal Government had, however, argued that the TraderMoni was an empowerment initiative designed to meet the financing need of at least two million petty traders across the country.

But Rafsanjani said if the government had TraderMoni as a policy plan, it should have begun its implementation earlier than a few weeks to the elections.

He stated that, no matter how well-intentioned, implementing the scheme close the elections would give different signals to Nigerians across the federation, adding that if the government was sincere about the scheme, it would have started before the elections drew this close.

According to the TNI chairman, mixing election campaigns with “distribution of money” is ill-advised.

Thank you for impacting my life, Tradermoni

All those who looted in PDP are now in APC so this one is outdated. It is vote buying with public funds.

Chaii, you be Mossad!!!

So the big question is:

Are people getting impacted by the programme or not?

The answer is yes. It is impressive to see the results so far. Over half of these 1.5 million beneficiaries are first-time operators of bank accounts or mobile wallets. Seeing them use these tools even after receiving their loans is a testament to the power of financial inclusion for our economy. The Bank of Industry is committed to targeting everybody who is not financially included. It is going to be a long journey to bring the over 30 million Nigerians and micro-enterprises that are financially excluded or under-included, but the steps are being taken and Tradermoni is playing a central role.

Well said sir

Kagawa10:
Lol. How does empowering petty traders translate to buying votes? You don't even need Pvc to be eligible for tradermoni. Transparent media should go and sit down if they know nothing.

Is this empowering scheme not better than Jona looting us dry for more than 5yrs without giving us anything in return?



Canada is a developed country yet is suffering from this sweeping recession but you expect a developing country as Nigeria whose economy is oil dependent especially at a time oil is selling at a low $50 rate, not to be in recession?

If the stupid Jonathan hadn't looted us dry at a time oil was selling at $110 rate, if he had saved more as well as constructed major infrastructures, we wouldn't be suffering at this time oil is selling at $50 rate. Better still, if the klepto hadn't also looted our foreign reserve from $48b to $26b, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.

Despite earning 60% less than the previous regime, this admnistration has come up with several social, agricultural and infrastructural projects. Look at Lagos-Ibadan road and other roads being constructed, our new railway lines, new rice mills, cheap fertilizer production, Npower social schemes, tradermoni etc yet you expect us to vote in a useless party that destroyed our economy again?

Atiku, neva again.

This picture is very old. it has nothing to do with tradermoni. This scheme has been a blessing in the lives of a lot of people. I dont know why you guys are criticising this good scheme. You are the people that don't want Nigeria to succeed.

More power to the people that is working on the Tradermoni team

livelymatilda22:
Really? What is Obi doing in this picture? Vote selling I guess.

Kagawa10:


PVC is equivalent to National Id card. If you don't have your Id card, you write down your Pvc number. As simple as Abc.

As far as Apc are not collecting people's pvc, you're only shouting rubbish to the air.

Now to you..this ya post ...does is not sound like rubbish?

Since when has PVC become National ID card when everyone knows its election period?

What is the message this is sending out to the international bodies monitoring election transparency?

See the twist you are bringing to it..does it sound logically to you?

Most APC people are just like their president... I just dont understand

Tradermonin is a blessing to all the small traders across many cities in Nigeria. If you think you are not imoressed with this innovative scheme then there is a problem with you definitely. Long live the Tradrmoni scheme and long live the people of NIgeria

Shut up. I've been using my Pvc as an equivalent to national id card since time memorial.

How does writing down the numbers on your Pvc equate to vote selling? Is this one mad ni?

Maybe all the Fg pensioners that Jonathan failed to pay but were payed their gratuities under Buhari were also vote buying.

Clueless man. Your clueless Jonathan is a mess.

We are aware but it's like he is not awear

It also seems you cannot see very well....in the picture, did they write national ID card there? Is it not PVC number that was required?

If they wanted National ID card, it should have been stated there clearly.

It's you that is supporting rubbish...there are ways to empower people and it will look like real empowerment and not to be used as a form of campaign strategy.... Be a deep thinker for once

The Tradermoni beneficiaries are small traders figuring out way to better their lives with a loan. Why are you criticising this scheme. These beneficiaries are hardworking Nigerians and specifically, they are not “interesting” to the traditional lenders: they have little to no financial track record, they have no collateral, some barely have formal identities. However, they are actively trading and in dire need of capital. They are sellers of the food stuff you cook, the beverages you drink, the airtime you use, and kiosk items you buy. And there are tens of millions of them, across the 36 states and the FCT. GEEP is an opportunity to properly identify and capture these Nigerians, provide them with capital, and in the process onboard them into the formal financial system of bank accounts and mobile wallets – in a way that they can be sustainable recipients of credit.

What is the GEEP initiative really about?

GEEP is a microcredit programme that provides much-needed capital to traders, artisans, farmers, petty traders. It is one of the social intervention programmes of the Federal Government and comprises three products: MarketMoni, FarmerMoni, and TraderMoni. GEEP was initiated in 2016 by the Federal Government; with an understanding that there are over 30 million Nigerians at the base of the pyramid in active commercial activity but never have an opportunity to access credit. In 2017, only 0.04% of bank loans went to this micro-segment.

Yes GEEP has impacted the lives of many Nigerians.

The scheme has been a major benefit for people across Nigeria. It has been truly transformative, and to the lending ecosystem. In the past 2 years, a total of 1.5 million loans across the three programs have been disbursed, 1.2 million of which are TraderMoni beneficiaries. The loans are driven strictly by the scale of demand. Read more: https://www.legit.ng/1216848-the-truth-tradermoni-uzoma-nwagba.html

I can see how sane you are! With your irrational thinking! Always quick to insulting people in a public space! And you want me to take you seriously? Naaa!

TheGreenLand:
SHUT ME UP.

What did masses enjoyed from PDP for 16 years apart from the thieves stealing for themselves and families.

Transparency my foot.

And APC is looting the country dry and hiding under integrity...


Admit it, This is A Vote Buying Intervention Scheme....

I need to ask a question...

Are they collecting their permanent voters ID card?

Another question...

Can the PVC be closed by just getting the ID information?

If the answers to both questions are NO, then why is everyone complaining about this?

I think only people who are eligible to vote should partake in the collection of Trader Moni. Those are the stakeholders and they will determine whether they want the present administration has favored them or not.

HOW BUHARI LOST THE IGBOS

You told them they are among the 5%,you treated them that way with your appointment,
not done yet,you mowed them down with overwhelming Army response in the name of Ops Python Dance,
killed many of them,
turned peaceful families to orphans,
Windows and some widowers and many childless.
Their businesses destroyed.
Then during campaign you come with your rotten body with huge smell and absent mind so twisted that even the devil would be scared of your level of hatred for them to say: "O year igbos, your military officers are not.professional, are not good, do not.merit being in the military and so I chose those from my family and closest village in the north who merit it because they form part of the 97% - that's their only qualification.
The igbo man's sin is nothing but for just being an igbo man who would not beg but would turn every grim situation to success so it pains you.
Buhari, you are indeed a fool and an evil that shouldn't befall any group of people.
We would to see you die and rotten for vulture to feast on after dog has eaten your head...

My friend will you shut up and stop wailing. Haba. Who even curse you igbos sef

@kagawa10

THANK YOU for your post!

This is one of the most ridiculous accusations
EVER. TraderMoni is NOT vote buying but an
Interest - free loan program managed by the BOI
or Bank of Industry(which has also given out
bigger loans to such Nigerian companies like
ProForce in Ogun State which makes armoured
personnel vehicles for the military and also Innoson) .
The Vice President being the Head of the Economic
Team is only overseeing the program with BOI input!

There are programs such as TraderMoni in other
countries that have successfully lifted or boosted
the businesses of small or petty traders who
constitute the bulk of all traders in Nigeria... and
From watching BOI Weekly on Channels TV you
will see that the traders are happy. This LIE that
the program is vote buying started with the PDP
propaganda. Something is definitely wrong with
some Nigerians who do not want progress for
other people.

I'm surprised that anyone would credit Rafsanjani
who is a human rights activists with such
anti-people comments.


The Program is NOT vote buying!

... These people who say the program is
vote-buying are pathetic people and are the
enemies of the citizens of Nigeria who's
businesses have been boosted by this program.

From your response and the picture depicting the bone of contention...you will know who is clueless....it's very evident! From the way you opine your thoughts and marshal out your points show the type of IQ you have..very embarrassing !

I won't blame you.. I thought I was engaging with someone with a very good IQ never knew that someone as an IQ that cannot be reckoned with..so I cannot take you seriously..you do not have anything to offer... Your write up is a total hogwash.. Lacks facts..look at the picture closely ..what do you see..when it is stated clearly PVC number details..what is PVC number details doing in a form where a loan is been given out...Did you see National ID card number or any other means of identification? Haba....you just acted and opined like a child without been objective.... I know you will want to quote and fill it with baseless insults...well that's your cup of tea and you can as well drink it!
