FG plans to give 8K to poor households.

[Spaceman1000$]

We've heard from the news, the plans federal government has towards the poor,  they say is to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy, which is giving the poor 8k per month for the next six months to 12 million people.

Now here is the interesting part of the whole thing.

1, how do you identify the poor in Nigeria, because half of the Nigerian population are not working, so they can be seen to be poor too, so what measures will the FG deploy for the selection of the poor?
Because in the Buhari's administration, we had a social intervention program introduced too, and the FG said, they selected the poorest of the poor for the program, and billions of naira was doled out for that program and lots of people never saw a dime from it.


2, to what extent will 8 thousand naira go in cushioning the effect?
To what extent will 8 thousand go in cushioning the effect of the fuel subsidy, because the prices of goods and services has gone astronomically high, ranging from electricity bill, transportation, food items etc...

3. the last administration had this idea.
The previous administration had a conditional cash transfer, that we couldn't find a single person that benefited from that program, now to what extent did the program go, they said they gave physical cash to millions of people.
I think the FG should come up with real robust plan to  really cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy,  like providing busses 🚌🚌🚌  at strategic locations within the country, that people can pay a subsidised transport fee,  constant electricity at an affordable rate across the country and fighting food inflation etc

This is thoughtful of you, do they think they can play with our intelligence?.

If anything will be done, I can suggest FG to beat the money up to 30k , then requirement to be a beneficiary should be by having a bank account.

The names, account number /bvn of people working with government, companies or business who earn above 100k should be collected and set aside, then every account not associated with the working class or earn less than 100k should be paid 30k on monthly basis.

To do this, it requires skilled and professional technologist/programmers to put this in order to avoid embezzlement. This mechanism will be automated such that everyone recieves their pay directly, no need to entrust Any special body with the disbursement of the fund.  I believe it is possible since the bvn carries the people's information.
Bank account that must be used must  be trusted banks in Nigeria.

Everyone who didn't recieve it's pay should forward complain to a body who is entrusted to monitor the flow of money into all acoount.

Abeg even if as we no support the evil goment make we dey try talk tru and discredit with fact. Na tru say dem chop money inside well well but dey share too. People benefit from my house but people wey come to give them money commot 2k inside the 10k wey dem suppose give them. E go dey hard for corruption to end for this our country. Trader money also dey and many people benefit from it including myself thou na just 10k. No be say I dey hail the government but make we talk tru some times and desist from online propaganda abeg.

The names, account number /bvn of people working with government, companies or business who earn above 100k should be collected and set aside, then every account not associated with the working class or earn less than 100k should be paid 30k on monthly basis.

Wait ooo how many people dey earn more than 100k monthly for this country? You for just talk say make dem pay 2/3 of the entire population na. The salary of director wey be the highest paid officer for civil service is slightly above 500k and the rest range from level 10 down ward earn less than 100k so everyone is qualified for the palliative be that if we are to go by that formula.


Make dem bring back humanitarian Sadiya to share this 8k palliative, she knows the poor Nigerians. We go use am buy Bobo drink Lol

Story story every day in this our country, I don’t even know why Federal Government is making such promises, is it because they are looking down on us? because what will 8k do for us in this current situation where price of goods and services are high.

1, how do you identify the poor in Nigeria, because half of the Nigerian population are not working, so they can be seen to be poor too, so what measures will the FG deploy for the selection of the poor?

When it comes to sharing anything to benefits the poor, Federal Government will always be looking for ways to cheat the poor because the people running the government will still be the once to share the benefits for themselves and federal government will be claiming they have distributed goods to the poor where the poor did not receive anything.

But when it comes to sharing and collection of electricity Bills, they will know their way to each and everyone’s house to collect their money.

2, to what extent will 8 thousand naira go in cushioning the effect?

They don are how far it will go because they know that they have all it takes to survive, they just want to do it so that they will use it to brag when looking for extension in the next election.

Creating employment opportunities and skills will go a long way because if everyone have something doing, we will not see the effect that much if we all have money to afford our bills.

The federal government plans to use 500,000,000 billion naira to give people 8,000 naira as a one time payment, I think this is a very unthoughtful move and it shows the government has a shallow mindset for Nigeria and Nigerians.

Currently in the country 8000 naira is practically useless due to the bad economy and harsh recession the country finds itself in, I think rather we use the money to see how to make use of out natural resources and try as much as possible to be a producing country rather than a consuming country.

It is a one time payment but I think the government wants to provide palliatives to every part of the nation to ease the pain of this fuel subsidy removal which made the price of PMS to be higher which is also affecting the citizens in their daily activities.

We hope and pray that the government looks in to that possibility and explore our natural resources. N8000 might be very small to you but in some parts of Nigeria and their way of living, N8000 will go a long way to solve the affairs of their daily needs for some period of time. This cannot lead the poor out of poverty but will definitely lead to decrease in pain and suffering being encountered by many of them now.

This is a useless orientation and initiative from the new administrative, I thought that Tinubu has come to liberate the people of Nigeria from poverty but instead he has come to make things worst than before. If these poor ones are given 8k for 6 months,who will fend for them for the remaining 3yrs and 6 months but because the hardship continues.

2, to what extent will 8 thousand naira go in cushioning the effect?

8k is nothing compared to the high rate of inflation that they country is in which was because of the removal of fuel subsidy.
I don't see any good that this new government will do to the people,because Tinubu has gone to borrow money from other country to use for their personal and greedy interest. I pity this our people for Nigeria because when our debt reach an extent those foreign countries go come take over our country and we go become their slaves. All Nigeria leaders are the same people with different name.

What do you expect from a government that claim to be feeding school children that are locked down at home during covid19? Abi you dey forget when they told us they used recovered Abacha loot to lift 10 million Nigerians out of poverty?

If monkey, snakes, rodents and other animals ate billions under Buhari, don't expect anything to change now so long as APC is still in power.

Well, this one too na just : " give the money a name, then steal it"

[sokani]

Ah no expect much from PDAT and I no dey surprised by dis decision to give 8k to poor Nigerian families in de next 6 months to cushion the effect of Fuel subsidy removal, maybe na because I no like de way de administration take enta office. I no support this move at all because na waste of de people money. Wetin de 8k wan do for de life of an ordinary Nigerian talk atleast of giving 8k to each Nigerian family. We no dey hungry abeg make dem use de money do beta tin. Dis one na anoda wey to loot money be dat because las las dem go just give us  update leta say after de removal of fuel subsidy, de PDAT led administration was able to assist Nigerians financially in dis difficult time by giving each families 8k.

[Noson]

As it is currently in Nigeria, 8,000 cannot comfortably cater for the monthly grocery supply of a family regardless of the size of the family. Let's not even add even aff transportation and other necessities.

Well, I'm not sure how they arrived at this said amount to be disbursed to the entire populace, but I feel there should have been better ways to cushion the effect of subsidy removal and not just by disbursing a mere 8,000 that's not going to yield anything meaningful than a meagre square meal.

The sad reality of this disbursement is, not everyone will have access to the funds eventually. Because someone might just end up diverting a chunk of the fund for his/her selfish interest. Such a sad reality.

In my opinion, the PBAT economic team should come up with creative ideas than disbursement of 8,000. And whoever is in charge should be keenly observed to avoid misappropriation of funds.

As it is currently in Nigeria, 8,000 cannot comfortably cater for the monthly grocery supply of a family regardless of the size of the family.

As it is now everyone living in Nigeria knows that 8k monthly can not go a long way for a family catering, because naira had lose its value for a long long time ago, if we continue to depends on the government funds we can't meet up to our standard of life we wants for our families.

The sad reality of this disbursement is, not everyone will have access to the funds eventually. Because someone might just end up diverting

We all know the real aspect of the whole thing in Nigeria, we can't easily get free funds except through luck 🤞, if we managed to get this free funds I have a thought that it might be only 5k down word or nothing so I don't expect people to put their hopes on the free funds.

The federal government plans to use 500,000,000 billion naira to give people 8,000 naira as a one time payment, I think this is a very unthoughtful move and it shows the government has a shallow mindset for Nigeria and Nigerians.

That thought of yours can't be done anytime soon because even the government as some citizens don't even have time anymore because we 9ja we all have the mindset of adaptation.

1, how do you identify the poor in Nigeria, because half of the Nigerian population are not working, so they can be seen to be poor too, so what measures will the FG deploy for the selection of the poor?

They don't have any particular strategy to use than to randomize the whole process and the lucky ones will have the opportunity to apply for this grant and get awarded, some may not be aware, some may wrongly apply for it while some may apply but never get any feedback from the application made, everything has to do with taking risk, we can still have some people who will have the opportunity of having more than one when some were yet to receive anything, things can never be balanced this way except the government adopted more accurate means to ensure equal distribution with fare justice.

[Gozie51]

To share money to people no even be the thing because me I know say na scam we go see. No be so the school feeding take dey happen until breeze don blow and we don see the colour of fowl yansh, if you know, you know 

Government no dey do wetin Dem suppose do. Dem always want make loop hole for syphoning our money. Nothing stop government to identify the people wey go get this through BVN. But make them build infrastructure, no be the story of sharing money because na scam.

I am wondering how they are even going to distribute the money, is it that people will apply or what strategy will be used aside from it being a scam as far as our leaders are concerned, what annoys me most is that, 8,000 naira is too small to be shared is better they don't even give anything at all, a country like Nigeria sharing 8k with all these plenty expenses, not worth it, I actually expected more from the government, am sure they won't even pay.

[Gozie51]

I actually expected more from the government, am sure they won't even pay.

The doubt for the way dem don make this palliative something be don dey high. Of course Nigeria phenomenon go still enter the whole thing because we fit still dey hear say Dem want pay while some don collect as e take happen for COVID-19 palliative. We dey in a precarious situation with the government distrust. I'm sure say this past election don open people eyes say the people wey dey always enter for government no be people wey we elect to enter office. I no see any sense wey dey for the palliative wey dem dey plan say dem want do while people suffer don increase.

Now here is the interesting part of the whole thing.

No mind them, dem dun dey find new ways to carry pocket money wey was meant for poor masses. Why we no get sense for this country, our government only like to dey give palliative so we go dey mumu for dem dey vote dem into office so dem go continue to dey give us chicken change from the millions dem dey thief. So you go give millions to politicians for allowance and salary but na 8k you wan give family to use hold body because of fuel subsidy. Tinubu dun dey disappoint me, I no expect him administration to dey follow bubu steps. Why dem no use this money put together carry do something wey we go see know say our government dey work and that thing fit bring employment for us so we go dey see food chop everyday and no be this handout wey no go even do to feed us for 1 day.

You no know the poor masses, na their people dem na, na people wey go pocket the money as dem dey use am compensate them for helping in giving the current administration power. How dem go use track say the money dey go the right home if for real dem wan run this thing from their good hearts. Make we just believe say true true dem wan dey give the poor masses 8k, how we go fit comfirm say dem really give them or na just cover up for them to steal billions and when we question dem, dey go talk say na wetin dem use they give the poor masses 8k. We need to dey stop dey believe this guys, I bet na highest one month dem run am and pocket the rest.

[Davidvictorson]

8k? Sometimes, I try not to be think negative about the country and her leaders. I try my best to have something positive to say about Nigeria. I try and try but the more I try the more it seems I can't find any faith left in the leadership of the country.

The distance between the rich and the poor is a wide that it is just absolutely impossible to connect the both of them. How do these people think that 8k for a month will cushion the effects of the the subsidy removal? How does this even make any atom of sense. Some very poor people spend 8k in 5 days on transportation fare from their house to their work place alone. We haven't talked about food and other daily needs.

Our government has failed us.

[Marykeller]

We've heard from the news, the plans federal government has towards the poor,  they say is to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy, which is giving the poor 8k per month for the next six months to 12 million people.

Chai.. My country Nigeria, when will our governments learn how to live above expectations of her citizenry? Which one be 8k for this time wey price of goods and services d on a rise? The 8k for cushion fee for fuel as they take put am no be around   13litres if you calculate am with today's price of fuel wey be 612naira. Do they expect the poor Nigerians wey d call us to use 8k per month for buying of fuel only because no how food no d, peso go use the 8k wey FG give am to buy fuel? This our FG needs to be considerate. Make them no d take us for granted like sae we no sabi anything or get any sae for the country.

This 8k promised just d like you wound peso finish, instead of to carry am go hospital, you come carry sweet the give am make em keep quiet for the pains wey em the pass through. What can of nonsense be that?

1, how do you identify the poor in Nigeria, because half of the Nigerian population are not working, so they can be seen to be poor too, so what measures will the FG deploy for the selection of the poor?
Because in the Buhari's administration, we had a social intervention program introduced too, and the FG said, they selected the poorest of the poor for the program, and billions of naira was doled out for that program and lots of people never saw a dime from it.

What I see in all this things, na another way d people wey on top wey be FG wan siphon wetin no good for the country account. Em don become a normal thing for FG to the do because each government d create and promise ways dem go take help the poor, only to turn it milking project for themselves.

[Jessie2121]

Shey election don finish now e get anything wey we no go hear again other than these kind of news, me I don even tire to listen to our news. Our former president say nah 5k to every youth now nah 8k to poor household. My people e get some kind news wey we no suppose carry for mind oh. FG don collect wetin them wan collect now them wan use we the poor masses take cover their self make e be say them dey do good for the poor. As e be like this nothing like poor people for FG eyes oh them no believe say people dey suffer self for this country, and this nah another plan to pocket money that's if them never pocket am finish. That 8k nah audio money my people nothing come out abeg.

I'm not surprised by everything that is happening in the country or the policies being put in place by the tinubu government. It was clear that Tinubu has no real ideas that would help Nigeria grow other than the fact that he just wanted to rule. It's a good thing that those people that voted for him are all experiencing the effects of their choices like everyone else. Might escalate further, we're less than 2 months in.
