Imagine pumping that 12B into a commercial industry where people can be gainfully employed thereby earning a steady income.

These donations are done purely for political consideration and they don't in anyway in the long run add any value to the people. Why can't they use part of this money to improve education or skill acquisition. The north will continue to be the headquarter of poverty and centre of insecurity if they consistently refuse to change their priorities.

This guy's are so bereft of ideas. 12billion that can start a factory that gainfully employ people so that they won't have to depend on palliatives. Chai

You said what Kai North is gone

12 Billion!
Nigerian politicians will give the people with the left hand and steal from them with the right hand.

The Alamajiri system of governance until Nigerians start electing Leaders that can create wealth they will continue to swim in the ocean of poverty

12 billion will up open up at least 10,000 solid businesses that will each employ at least 3 persons including the proprietor, yet it was spent feeding people than teach them how to feed themselves forever. I give kudos to Governors in the South especially the East and South South that dont encourage this nasty way of living, wonder why their youths are far ahead of others, they learnt to caught fishes earlier than be fed with already caught one.

Nor be this same Kebbi governor wey approve a whooping N967.6bn to cover registration fees for just 20,908 Kebbi Students.

Equivalent to approximately N46m per student:

As in N46,000,000 per student😳

What kind of schools are these Kebbi students attending for inside this Nigeria??🤷‍♂️

Chai, where did you get this false information? E get some things wey even if na your father tell you, you no suppose believe am. This is one of such

Embezzlement

It's masses money spend it wisely...
Don't spent 200million and now be telling us it's 12billion God and the people you are govern doesn't like that, say no to corruption, Nigeria will be great again 🙏🙏🙏

The 12billion is a lie.

Using just 1 billion naira to buy food items the ground won't be able to contain it.

12billion is a Big Lie

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
This crop of governors must be the most foolish set of politicians I've ever seen.

Why not invest ₦12 billion into revolutionizing the Agriculture sector ?

Purchase tractors and other farm machinery, distribute or subsidise fertilisers that target the nutrient deficiency of soils in different local governments, distribute super grains or stems or cuttings or fruits like Anambra governor did with coconuts, drill boreholes for central irrigation in mapped out places, build access roads to farms, install and maintain storage and processing facilities, subsidise pesticides, encourage people to farm and plant, combat banditry and willful destruction etc.
12 billion can go a long way.

But trust Naija politicians to always look for a way to abuse any program to help them loot.

'Palliatives' began during COVID-19 but years after the lockdown, they are still in love with the word.

I am disgusted by these handouts from governments that feed a man today and leaves him to die of hunger later.

This is wickedness, disguised as kindness.

All the statement you made above only apply to a same country, but in Nigeria where our rulers are supreme emperors, they only think of how to loot. Do not be surprise that the man may not buy food more than 500 million naira, whereas he is claiming 12 billion naira for it. Why cant he collect the account number of these people and post the money into their account directly, for people to buy what they actually need and the man be held responsible and accountable for the money, no they will just claimed one big figure so as to loot their state treasury. They we all face judgment of God here on earth and also in eternity.

Let calculate

9,900 Bags of Rice for Teachers (Logistics 40k per Bag) 9900 * 120,000.00 = 1,188,000,000.00
9,900 Bags of Grains for Teachers (Logistics 20k per Bag) 9900 *100,000.00 = 990,000,000.00
4,000 Bags of Rice for Ministry (Logistics 40k per Bag) 4000 *120,000.00 = 480,000,000.00
4,000 Bags of Grains for Ministry (Logistics 20k per Bag) 4000 *100,000.00 = 400,000,000.00
1,000 Bags of Rice for Scholars (Logistics 40k per Bag) 1000 *120,000.00 =120,000,000.00
1,000 Bags of Grains for Scholars (Logistics 20k per Bag) 1000 *100,000.00 =100,000,000.00
other unforeseen expenses = 300,000,000
Total = 3,578,000,000.00
they have only began the distribution of over N12bn worth of assorted grains as Ramadan palliatives to residents.
so more are still coming there's is still an excess of about 8,422,000,000.00 good coming.

Kudos to the government for there utmost transparency.

After my estimate the goods (rice and grains) worth around #3b including logistics.......so what other things the remaining #9b gone for?

Lazy people !
#12 billion just to feed people for free.
How will the state develop .?

superlanny:
What do we do when thieves do supposedly acts of good, be wary and cautious, you can’t be using stolen money to deceive the sensible ones, collect the palliatives but always know they have and are currently ripping your future and incoming generations future.

Nigeria is irredeemable, no one can convince me otherwise.

WHY HIS PIC ON THE RICE - is the N12 Billion his money ?

Crime nation unreasonable leadership 12 billion naira for palliative God will judge all of you

fadre5:
Impressive 😎 I hope other Governors do same or more 🇳🇬❤️

What is impressive about spending 12b on rice and beans? How many hectares of land can be cultivated with 12b if judiciously used…

It's just a lie..... 12 billion ko, it's just another avenue to steal money. You share 12 billion naira food in kebbi

wonder233:
Religion, the opium of the masses.
12billion can build a cottage factory in every local government of the state that will improve the lives of the people. But no, you rather impoverish them, then, give them handouts tied to religion.
The foolish masses, this is what they want because they don't know better.
Sick country

Hunger has nothing to do with religion, even though it's share in Fasting period. What you should worry about is how much food they really bought, probably not upto 4 billion a d they steal the remaining 8billion

cunny88:
What happens to christians in the state, wont they eat?

It's for everybody, Fasting period is just an opportunity for people to share food. I shared last year to everyone no-one ask if u are Muslim or Christian

Gboom:
I doubt whether Kebbi state IGR is up to 10bn on monthly basis. These northern governors are just using Ramadan period to cash out from free allocation from Abuja. How many of their people will benefit from these palliatives?

These leaders are the real enemies of their people

Kebbi state IGR is less than 10 billion annually.

To put it in perspective, Kebbi state occupies the last position 37th on the pyramid of IGR between the 36 states and the FCT

yes na, spend 200million on grains then spend Billions printing the governors face on the bags

[quote author=Caramia2020 post=129048785]12 billion!!! I'm short of words. Is this money not enough to open small manufacturing company that will employ up to 500 or 1,000 people? Looting galore.[/quote


I wonder ooo🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️... how many population in kebbi?... if the money is share to them in 1m each, i think their life will changed to better ones...
I keep saying it.. this politicians has nothing to offer us than lies.. how can you buy 12b worth of food alone. Did they go with 1bags of rice each?.... is it only food they will be eaten for the rest of their lifes?.. 12b my foot

MrDoGood:
12 billion?

Just like that o!
N12- Billions o,na so we see am o!

Chai! This is pathetic.
This is why these people will fight true federalism with their last blood.

2 months’ allocation gone.

No need to print the sack, elaborately. It’s one of the reasons the rice would be costly for government.

Nearly half of the N12.bn would have been, wotowotoly looted.

God gave you a brain for a purpose. How will you believe that Kebbi State has 900 billion Naira? It's akin to believing that Nigeria has 900 trillion Naira
