Looking back, I realize the urgency and desperation to which the past administration tried to play on the intelligence of Nigerians by initiating schemes to gain sympathy and support.
NNPC Was never ready to employ thousands, there was no provision for additional manpower in thousands as much as there weren't sufficient funds to pay the requisite allowances that would run into billions monthly. It was a forced and desperate act to gain the support of tens of thousands of Nigerian youths.
The First 10, 000 mortgage is a scheme that is no different from the above. It Is even much so that the FG then cajoled reputable organizations like the World Bank and its likes into playing part by allowing their logos to be included in the deceitful propaganda. Nigerians were very enthusiastic about the scheme and they hurriedly went online, registered and waited in anticipation for a housing opportunity. It never came. Instead, after many got confirmation e mails of successes from their applications, directing them to one mortgage organization or the other for documentation and further directives, there was an evident reluctance by these mortgage organizations to instill confidence in the applicants by their reluctance to give much information and promise about the whole scheme. Maybe due to the fact that, the FG arm twisted them in participating without consideration of economic realities and their own sustainability as a business.
We should also, remember those who confidently told us everything was ok with the economy whereas, everything was no ok. Those who ignored the yearnings of the common man on a normal day, but courted friendship and support when it was needed to maintain power and position. Today some present and former employees of those involved in that administration are screaming murder about the current state of the economy in a desperate attempt to gain some support from Nigeria s who are victims of their monumental looting and sharing of the Nations wealth in kind and in cash. Their mess cannot be fixed by an on-off button, especially with our major source of revenue constantly dropping below 50% of its value not long ago. We will feel the pains, sweat some, but we will come out stronger, wiser and more resilient. We will stand tall and look back and say, thank God we learnt the hard way, we are a better people.

your country is corrupt-prone

Hahahahahahahahah, I won't be surprised if some people come here to give testimonies that they got the mortgage loan. My friend is still waiting like the proverbial virgin for his appointment letter from NNPC test from 2012.
Devil wears Ashoke.
