And you have been thoroughly sucked into a as.hole of your shi.thole and the smell has disoriented your brain comparing Trump to African leaders. Who exactly? Buhari, Paul Biya or Ramaphosa?

Orisirisi! You this conspiracy theorists. You have come again. You think for a second that the "' actually gives a ratbrain about people being gay? You don't know him se.

Lol... $1200 and your rent is $1300 for the month. That's not a lot of money for those converting it naira..

If you have kids each kid gets $500 too.

ALCOHOLKILLS:
I work, I pay tax unless you don't

lol!...you're the minority who pay taxes in Nigeria.

Most Nigerians don't pay taxes in Nigeria.

Ayoefa:
I have tried to explain to these people but dem no one hear oh. I spent mine in less than 30 mins. This amount is less than what most pays for one month's rent.

Are you out of work? Then you need to file for unemployment benefits too.

The stimulus is just to get people to spend on temporary things like food, small bills and the likes.

People with kids will get $500 more for each kid.

Can you share real proof of Trump's signature on the cheques rather than unnamed sources from the media? Photo anything?

wirinet:
You guys seem incapable of staying on topic. The issue is the appropriateness of Trump signing a relief check from the Federal Government 7 months to elections.

When Buhari was distributing money few months to the elections through the trader moni scheme, it's still the same you guys crying fowl, without stating whether you will reject it if you were given.

True.

For a family of 4 this is $3400 ($1200 per adult and $500 per child). It is something to help people and is one off for everyone. In addition there is unemployment benefits of about $1000 a week and in some states higher for people who lost their job due to the current situation.

So your example of $1200 does not cover rent of $1300 is not right as it is in addition to your current income or unemployment benefit if you have lost your job.

I tire. The media and democrats are just focused on finding fault at every turn.

Now they are praising the New Zealand PM for acting fast even though she didn't close borders until late March while Trump banned China late January., EU later and then the UK before New Zealand. This is on top of attacking Trump when he started trying to close the borders.

Macsjebs:
They must find something to say sha

When he placed travel restrictions on China early enough, they said it was too early for such move considering the impact on businesses and the economy; later they still blamed him for not acting early enough to prevent the outbreak of covid-19

It's not still feasible.

Nigeria cant afford 5k across 250 million people.

How much is our budget in the first place to
warrant sharing 1.2 trillion Naira.

Stop!

Nigeria can more than afford give each tax payers in Nigeria more than 10,000 naira if the Nigeria government are not already selfish, greedy and heartless.

Aside for the revenue in billion in Naira that Nigeria is getting from its Crude oil what about the millions in grants given to Nigeria from Europe

Please show me a brief feasibility of 10k per head.


Do you think we are that rich considering our population. And am sure you will still expect the FGN to pay salaries amd continue with its constitutional duties.

Lets use numbers to buttress fact and not hearsay.

10k per head will cost Nigeria about 2.5 trillion. If we do that, where do we continue from.

Don't know how true this report is, cos i know folks who have already rcvd direct payments of 1200/adult, 500/child, from IRS

softset:

Exactly, people pay bills of over $3500 monthly. The $1200 is not enough to cover our monthly expenses.

Rent/mortgage
Car insurance
Car loan
Health insurance
Credit cards payment
Food
Child care
Gas
BGE
E.T.C

People just make conversions to naira forgetting that all this bills is way more than what people earn.

The unemployment system keeps crashing and hasn't been updated yet.

Yes, agreed, it's something to help people but we need more, they should quickly sign the $2000 bill into law cos the one time payment is not going to sort out the expenses of those who live from paycheck to paycheck

Ayoefa:
How many families lives in studio appointments? May a in up North, but only students and newly graduates live in studios in most places. Yes Manhattan might have program to have some low income rental available but that will be very minimal compared to the rest of Manhattan. Anyone will tell you without even consulting Google that rent in NY is high, and its even higher in Manhattan. This is the financial capital of the world where people make crazy insane money on daily and weekly basis. It's only logical that rent and every other thing will be expensive here.

A family does not get $1,200.00, that amount is for a single individual and a single unmarried individual can live in a studio.

A family, e.g. a couple gets $2,400.00, and additional $500 for each dependent.

Yes, Manhattan is the financial capital of the world, but there are zones and rent control measures all over the city to ensure that not only the rich can live in Manhattan and $2,400/month is enough rent money in some Manhattan districts.

Remember that, this is just money the government is ‘dashing’ their citizens. You are still working and before this stimulus, you were paying that rent by yourself. In addition the government have guarantee that, if you loss your job during this pandemic or as a result, they will attempt to match your current salary when you file unemployment. Previously unemployment payment only last for six months, the government said, they are expanding that as well.

See below screenshot of average rent is a few districts within Manhattan....Remember this is Manhattan and most people who work in Manhattan don’t live in Manhattan they either live in the other four boroughs surrounding Manhattan which are part of New York City or they live in NJ, PA or CT....where rent are far cheaper compare to Manhattan borough.

What is the age difference between Trump and Buhari?
Moreover, the money given to them is part of the tax deductions, how many of us pay tax in Nigeria

what is this man even saying. You can speak for yourself, obviously you don't. That is if even you a job. Bro, i can categorically tell you here that, lot do pay tax here in our country. Put together all de govt agencies, parastatal and ministries. As well as private organisations. Bro if you are privil to dig into money generated annually by FIRS you be alarmed. Now using myself as a case study in the Organisation were i work presently for the past five years, i have been paying tax. If bubu could just abduct this same Donald Trump format it will help us as a nation. Am telling you!

Why do you need more if you have not lost your job? many people are spending less by working from home so there is no reason to need more if you have not lost your job.

If you have lost your job, you are getting more than 100% the normal unemployment benefit ( e.g. Illinois normal is over $400 plus a top up of $600 a week) which is on average $4k a month. This is on par with the average income of Americans. So you are asking for an additional $2k on top of the $4k unemployment benefit? Really

The only people I support extra payment for are the essential workers who have to work in this crisis putting themselves at risk. That's it.

The US payments are one of the if not the most generous globally so far and yet we are asking for more.

$3400 - for a family of 4 isn't enough. Rent, bills, (well there are no place to dig up a well ) water is not free - and for that family of 4, there're many bills coming in every month. Weekly Groceries for a family of 4 is $300 or more.
So working is better than free money because free money is small and not really enough to live life.

Tough time!

I am not receiving unemployment benefits because I am an essential worker and have been working non-stop since this crisis started. I have been putting myself and my family at risk of the virus which is why I'm of the opinion of the government giving us extra pay and if not, then so be it. I'll still continue with my job because l love it.

As an essential worker I salute you and as I mentioned in my last post I am in support hazard pay for you because of the risk you are facing.

That is different from extra $2k payment for everyone because they are living paycheck to paycheck.

I know there has been talk of some form of bonus for essential workers, hopefully bipartisan politics doesn’t bury it.

Them dey call president u dey call Buhari. shweee

CoronaVirusPro:
If Buhari did this...

Wailers would have crucified him.

I keep telling people, human being are almost same thing all-over the world. You can imagine this type of dastardly act is happening in America, Trump playing politics over national interest

You should know Buhari has failed Nigerian people, this country is in a serious mess.

foleskay:
Shut da hell. Atleast he brought the idea initially. The stupid democrats were initially reluctant to approve d fund, but they had no choice. What if he didnt do anything.

I hate when id*iots are unnecessarily rude when they respond to comments on NL!

It is the job of the U.S. Congress to appropriate funds for any stimulus package not the President. But a smart President can contribute in the whole decision making process as Obama did when he tried to repair the huge economic damage Republicans caused under W. Bush.

Congress didn't want to deal with Trump directly because he's a m*oron and very unstable. So the Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was the one they negotiated this stimulus deal with.

Trump being a conman and a narcissistic fool was only focused on having his st*upid signature on the stimulus cheques, so he could brag at his useless rallies to his dumb supporters like you, that he and only he did it. There's no precedence for this in U.S. history!

Obama didn't push to include his signature on any cheque issued to Americans. His signature on the Bill document was enough!

Your attack on Democrats is delusional. Without Democrats the country would be a total mess because the country does better economically and otherwise when Democrats are in power! The facts are there online and they're easy to find.

Ayoefa:
I wouldn't say that this is due to inflation. it only reflects what people are making. So for a typical worker, they will be able to make the payment. Also, don't forget that rent pr mortgage is takes most people's income anywhere in the world.

I disagree with that, it is an inflation, the value of dollars is overpriced compared to other currencies in the world, I understand it is a world's reserve currency, but this prevents American firms from producing their products in America and sell them at competitive prices overseas, I just read the news sometimes ago where some large quantity of food crops are being destroyed by American farmers because it is economically not viable to process these crops and sell overseas, you wonder why most American firms have shifted their productions to China and elsewhere.

Mind you as regards to what Americans are earning, don't forget that the increase in wage is directly proportional to inflation.
