Edit:

From the word go, I've criticised that policy because I believe there are better things that could be done with such huge amount of money and its unsustainability.

I was all for redeployment of such funds into tangible youth empowerment programs like skills acquisition through the creation of vocational centres and soft loans for start-ups.

Giving a meagre 5k to a Nigerian youth today is just like giving candy to a 5year old- they'd blow it on booze in two seconds.

Can't find the post where I made those remarks but I've always been very critical of the initiative and I couldn't feel happier Baba is looking at other ways to apply the funds.


That said, I don't understand the essence of this thread oo Bros- to grease your ego or what exactly?? Oh, I shouldn't have said that sha cos I remember I'm guilty of doing such in the past. Made an analysis of some political manoeuvres of Jonathan back then and in a couple of days, the New York Times published an article that appeared as though they had read my post on the forum.

But you sha- your OT na die. Berra make up your mind where you belong oo.

It has always been my position that APC wasn't sincere with the manner they captured power.

Speechless.

LieDetector:
This tonyebarcanista should f*ckin take several seats back. It's absurd how you hold yourself on the high when it comes to issues pertaining to national development. Need I remind you that you are a renowned wailer and only newbies on here would consider engaging you and your foolish articles whose aim is to malign and paint a bad light of every policy put forward by this government for the betterment of Nigerians at large. Your case is simply that of mind boggling idiocy.

To be sincere, a state where the populace have basic electoral knowledge, it will be difficult to scam them with frivolous and unrealistic promises like these but in Nigeria the masses lack basic electoral knowledge! Else they would have vehemently asked how these promises will be fulfilled but instead they even accepted nepabill as certificate. Enjoy your change but painfully I was dragged along

MyMouth:
Barca doing all he can to catch the attention of the new PDP chairman!

Promise and fail is corruption.

Buhari should live by example

Jokerman:
Looools... Presidiot buhari sef... he has denied d very last campaign promise... ds is unfair o... He doesn't ve money to pay the very poorest pple buh d fucker has money to travel to pray to an Idol... lols...
However its like Barcanista is nw receiving his egunje from PDP again....

TonyeBarcanista:
After penning the first article(above) I was not only insulted by some Buhari die-hards on that thread, but a prominent Buharist(Obiagelli) and her group created a "counter thread" with intent of justifying the so-called program. This forced me to spend my precious time to present another view on the subject (below).

emzila:
Looking At Buhari's Proposal
With Buhari's proposed N1.89tr Social program, it
invariably means an additional N1.89trn will be
added to the projected deficit of N1.29 trn ie
N3.187trn if he is to go ahead with paying of
N5000 to 25 million unemployed annually, from
where will he be able to make up the HUGE
deficit?.

THE SO CALLED BARCANISTA IS A BIG JOKER.
any reasonable JSS3 student will not find it difficult to understand that the deficit of 2015 and 2016, aside the social program can never be of the same. any reasonable Nigerian who is not alien to d recent developments would have understand that even if 2015 and 2016 budgets are as stated by barcanista, the budget deficit will not be 3.187trn considering the various sources of revenue by the new administration eg, the TSA which brings about 2trn into the new yr budget, the stamp duty, the increase custom revenue report etc. barcanista has just put up organized pieces of rubbish for the gullibles.

further more, teacher barcanista don't even understand that the social security program is not the function of 2015 budget but 2016 budget and until the budget is passed, one cannot clearly say that the president has failed in his promise.

Ideas floated during a campaign does not necessarily mean policy.
It gives you a window into the campaign's priorities and gauge their engagement.
While some are realistic, others are not . A direct welfare program is destined to fail because we simply lack the mechanism and institutions to make them succeed. Starting from a database of who is unemployed to ghost recipients . Even Countries with advanced institutions have welfare policies that are plagued by fraud.
Also in a country with so many people with a sense of entitlement and very few taxpayers, you can expect civil disobedience if the government ever became incapable of paying the money after starting the program.

I think you should find that counter thread and post the OP here for reference and comparison.

Seriously? They captured power by doing what every politician does in the world. They captured power by doing what Donald Trump is doing right now in America. They told Nigerians what they want to hear and gullible Nigerians deservedly got what was due them. The only difference between Nigeria and the U.S is, in the USA, they ask questions. Nigerians don't. Did you watch the last debate where Marco Rubio tore Donald Trump a new one by confronting him with questions about how he was going to make all his promises come true. For the first time in the primaries, Trump is on the ropes. In Nigeria, it's citizen completely believe whatever the candidates promise them and cry when they fail to deliver. Instead of blaming the politicians, they should be blaming their own s.tupidity for their woes.
