The doubting Thomas kids rushed to apply for the loan after they saw many people uploading proof of the loan disbursed to them and the upkeep.

UncleKoboko:
Loan they said...
WHEN AND HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO PAY BACK?

This is fantastic. Jagaban promised and he delivered this.

Kudos to him

Max24:
Can this agency provide us with list of applicants by regions ? I hope the developers who have been calling it audio loan since will not apply. Any obidient that applies for this Tinubu student loan after castigating and condemning it then must be a phool. Same way they call Lagos a slum yet their elders can't do without Lagos.

Na 20k be upkeep? For this economy?? 1k can't get you a decent meal as of today. Imagine the student does nothing else with that money, it still will not be close to "upkeeping" them for a month.

1 meal a day for 20 days na him you dey call upkeep? How much is Thiefnubuu's feeding budget again?? I no blame you, na that yankee wey you dey I blame.

Like some people advised, FG should have a separate portal where we can identify students that got this loans with their details.

It could also be a good data point for their parent because some children will collect school fees from home and still take a loan. The main objective of this intervention is to relief the parent, so FG must do this so parents can know too.

Tinubu didn't do anything!

They didn't pay any students!

Let's continue to protest so that that Obi would become Anambra's President and Atiku Adamawa's president!
