how long do you think you can fight corruptionn without it fighting back, to plug leakages that GMB will use to fund his welfarism will be unachievable. Those countries you mentioned are not mono economies. Osibanjo is a lawyer and not an economist. Paying graduates to the work and doling out 5k to 25million people will be like using 20% of our budget for only that scheme.

This mentality of corruption fighting back would only make us to be in a stagnant situation. What is corruption? the moment corruption is defined, trust me brother, measures to fight corruption would be put in place and gradually evolving to a pillar that would eventually bring corruption to its knees.

Nigeria being a mono economy does not mean that there should not be a welfare system in place. What matter is our willingness and determination to put necessary things in place to stop the system from being corrupted.

I have worked with Federal ministry of finance in Abuja before; verification to payroll. And I can tell you that there are things Nigeria government could do about corruption

Thank you Buhari for proving once again you are the leader we need unlike that animal in fedora hat currently in ArseHole rock[/size]

Deranged rabid dog, where are you from? Your father obviously did not do a good job bringing you up. You call this laudable programs, I'm never disappointed because you've once again shown the world how dumb you dullards are, supporting a bloody illiterates who thinks giving free meals to NIGERIANS is sustainable. Like you said ' in sane countries'. With the likes of your kind, it's obvious Nigeria is not a sane country. Dumb arseeee.

Height of stupidity and cluelessness. What else can one expect from an uneducated Fulani Nomad who rose to the rank of Major General without any certificates whatsoever.

Apart from the lack of funds to implement such grandiose schemes, its capacity to accommodate and encourage corruption is infinite. Who would determine who and who are eligible or 'poor enough' to benefit? Who would be in charge of keeping records or disbursing funds and food to beneficiaries? How many million slots for phantom poor citizens out of the 25 million budgeted for would be 'conceded' to Tinubu and other hopelessly greedy and corrupt APC chieftains?

Perhaps too much exposure to cattle makes these nomadic Fulani herdsmen to reason like Maloo.

If only $1billion per year is used for Buhari's Welfare program, that will amount to $4billion, in his first term.

Nwanne m, I prefer the $4billion used in this manner than to have $4billion paid to subsidy thieves monthly, $1billion given to GEJ cronies in import waivers per year, or $20 - 65billion stolen by NNPC rougues per year.

do you know that nigeria loses about 700,000 barrels of crude oil daily to oil theft according to the finance minister
now multiply 700,000 by the current price of crude and then convert it to naira
only if you guys understand the humongous amount of money being frittered away in this country daily, then you will know it is possible and sustainable
mind you, social welfare is necessary for you to have a secured society. cos not every body will get employed,not even in the US or other advanced countries

Having read that book, I am just being realistic here bro, forget what that man put together in that book when it comes to a larger society.

The last global financial crisis underscores the inequality, weakness and unforeseeable future of the capitalist economic system. The UK and US eventually bailed out their banks and financial institutions that have failed out of capitalism's dreams and nobody was able to bail out the thousands of ordinary people who lost their homes during d economy crises.......

Capitalism has its disadvantages as much as socialism has its own. We need to stop doing follow follow and look inward to see what would be good for our people..............

This is N1.5 trillion per year. This is chicken change. The GDP has been rebased to about $650billion even with the devaluation, the black economy in Nigeria is about $350billion. So Nigeria is actually a N180 trillion economy, if you just do a little more in agriculture and collect correct taxes you will achieve this. Even the current government has been thinking of the same thing and that is coming from Iweala herself. The problem is that as usual she has been afraid of what international creditors will say. You can also move a lot of the 'black economy' which is the informal sector more easily into the formal sector by doing this kind of thing. If you don't have a job, get registered and learn a trade then the government pays you and can plan for you. If you get married, you lose the benefits so we don't breed almajiris. If you get a job you automatically lose the the stipend. This will make employers more accountable.All this is commonplace in advanced economies and does not even generate arguments.

The government's N10 trillion a year budget does not even come close to what the whole country is spending or making. Diaspora funds coming from Nigerians broad alone is about $12billion which is about N2 trillion. Imagine that subsidy payments alone to fuel importers rose to N2 trillion recently and most of that was bad accounting.

Our dwindling national wealth and growing population can't sustain socialist welfarism

Do the maths yourself


Now Nigeria earns at most #5tr every year

Divide 5 000 000 000 000naira ÷ 170 000 000 people =# 29,411 approximately #30k

Each person #30 000 per year or #2500 per month

Can you survive on that amount.
