If I slap u. U sef reason am, wetin u dey do good?

Madam dont forget that not everyone has account in Nigeria

See who is talking.

Northern Nigeria is very backward due to poor education and widespread illiteracy

How do u expect some nigerians to hold it feel 5000 , when all we see leaders at all facet of Nigeria , right from independence is to steal and loot public fund in there care , when leaders steal and. Loot public funds how do u expect d economy yo operate at per with other econ

mossunny247 Very irritating. We from this side don't share the shame value system with abokis

Rubbish na ur aboki broda never see5000 before

Which type mumu people be these sef?

You are who you're today remember who you were before

What does N500,000 mean in a country that has the least currency in the world? Woman you sound so uncivilized 😃😃

Awon osiwin eniyan.....

Foolish man

Careless talk 🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️🚴🏿‍♀️

I know who she's talking about 🤣😂

Creating jobs is better than gift of N5000. Pick a member of such family, train him/her in a skill, equip him/her with start-up pack and poverty is cured.

I'm not surprised to hear that when national cake has been sharing within 10 or 20 people alone why won't that happen but all I have to tell you is that God is watching

Shameless and insensitive talk. She shouldn't be proud of the statement, though it is correct to say so. Can she survive on 5000, let alone with a family. The ministers of PMB have become like him - carefree and care less

Azia junction is totally blocked by trailer drivers No way to Owerri Biafra land . Army are shooting.. No one is safe now. Use alternative rout

She was very dry before she was appointed a minister now see how fresh she's looking after lending a helping hand in looting the citizens trasurery .. Waka dia

It sounds weird but it's true

That's a big scam! Those who really need the 5k may not have a bank account. How do you intend to share it Haba hajiya

With all due respect, you're insane MA!

Pls. I want to know did it get to Abia state

Very stupid set of people saying rubbish… 5000 can’t feed a single man for 3 days not to talk of married man for a day… are you the one feeding them, now you said they’ve never seen 5000 before… is like you’re high on something

Shame on you Madam Token Cash

Bernoullicrypto 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

Hope there fans and supporter have seen million in dollars 😂😂😂😂😂

So you people know that poverty is endemic and well rooted here in 🇳🇬 What have you done to tackle this menace

Now your govt has given the privileged ones 5,000 each, their poverty has been cured. Congratulations! How much can N5,000 buy in the Nigerian market place?

Well am not surprised she is talking like this ,even in the remote area of the north ,see how they lavish money on them ,but go to village in other part of Nigeria poverty is killing them ,will your 5000 solve the problem, it is a big scam from the minister.

When people without shame are in government. That’s exactly what you expect.

So u know that there is poverty and u can't find a solution for it

When you finish insulting those Nigerians that you made vulnerable through your economic policies, Allah will respond to you in equal measure, insha Allah!

That means our economy is too poor. And we are moving backwards.

Pray, is that not the same amount or less politicians give to buy people's votes and then come back to oppress them and steal their money? A choice between the devil and the blue sea I'd say.

Chai just chai...

She should be ashamed of herself

Is only the northern part of Nigeria not here in the south. Is only in the northern part where poverty is order of the day not south

Na today, Photo!!

Your generation will no know peace

How 5k be self.. the zero plants ooo

It is very evident that the ruling class will continue to weaponise poverty. Because, what is the logic behind glorifying this N5,000 stipends to Nigerians? How can a minister be proud to say some Nigerians have not seen N5,000 before?

This is irrediculous thinking, may be they are looking for away to loot again.

Just like them Abroad folks that thought we in 9ja ain’t seen laptops b4 so they brought them big fat pentium M laptops to dash us, unfortunately for them, we using ultra books already 😆😆😆😆😜😜

How can they see it, while you are busy making their efforts to access it extremely impossible?

Agent of demon.

Politics has never been a dirty game, rather we allowed dirty politicians to corrupt the politics. The only way to make politics clean & safe for all, is to join & support A Great Nigeria Movement. We can change the game only if we are ready to support & follow AGreatNigeria3

5k that can not even buy 10 litres of fuel

Uselss woman with senseless talk that has no human feelings can your last child feed with N5000 a square meal not to talk of 3?

And you want them to remain stagnant and products and goods prices are all escalating. Let government help the poor masses by introducing policies that will make life easier.

hi babe

So, you can now measure in real time how poor Nigerian you denied basic access to education, food, good health care are buried in poverty.

Ya in your state i guess

na lie we have all seen 5000 even if we don't have it

How much does she recharge her phone with that 5000 would now be a big fortune to Nigerians. Nonsense talk.

Some northerners haven't seen 5000 b4 simple what d he'll is 5k..you fools keep building up poverty so that 5k could look 500k to northerners when election comes.

Seriously? With this present economic pandemic N5000 is equal to N50. I think it's high time governments should stop all this selfish gimmicks they are playing with us. My advice to Nigerian youths, go learn a skill that will make you financially independent. I have one for you.

People in power you are talking to,so that is why they all don't want to let other peoples.

Very unfortunate comments coming from a minister of the republic.

Please give me mine first

Is funny how people can come out and talk rubbish. What a shame

They'll steal N10 billion and will be sharing N5,000 to the 'poor'

Transfer 5000 to them, they eat with it and boom,they go back to square one. Use the money to create job opportunities where these people can earn monthly or daily. Clueless govt making us beg for giveaway online everytime.btw 5000 can't even buy or do any reasonable thing now

Do you meant NORTHERN NIGERIA?

Like seriously, N5000? Can you give your house help N5000? WOW this country is a joke

I want all Nigerians to think abt this n see why disintegration is important.Fulani is holding ElZakzaky,fulani is holding NnamdiKanu, fulani is holding SundayIgboho.Only fulani tribe 3 tribes at Ransome n they use indigenes as proxy to do this evil. We must wake up.

A complete waste of resources

Yeye

Funny people in this Buhari regime

Phooool

Tell that to the fool-ani

In Northern nigeria she should say, where people are not encouraged to be productive, their politicians have governed nigeria more than 40yrs, yet they are least educated, most poor and backward nigerians. They turned begging to an occupation.

Why is she always Mocking Nigerians

That's about $9, that's to let you know how useless and valueless the 5000 is.

This shows how Impoverished Buhari's APC has made Nigerians. How can 5k be Enough for a Nigerian at this Time and she's even boasting about it. God should pls save us from this Buhari's APC government.

Wickedness at the highest places.

For real? This woman sha.....

E no go better for u

Cash transfer without proofs

Come again comrade.😄

Fact

I keep hearing of token transfer or cash disburse, but on a long run have never come across any beneficiary, are the beneficiary ghost?

May it mean a lot to all her family members

She is from d feudalist north, that is their culture and that is their dream for Nigeria - she is unapologetic

Almajiri government

Yeah that's a fact. Especially written in the northern region

Useless

If a lot of Nigerians have not seen 5k, then you have failed as a government. Where is the result of the so called the poverty alleviation programme that you guys started since 2015? Scam upon scam.

Karya kike Yi.. 5k for naija is pure water.

You guys weaponized poverty. Feed them and control them!

That's the extent to which you guys pauperized Nigerians. So, you are saying many Nigerians have never seen the equivalent of less than $10= before? In an oil rich country? What a shameful narrative!

Use the 5k to give Nigerians 24hour power supply,electricity is what we haven’t seen before.

It's not evenly distributed. Lots of our poor citizens have no clue about this incentive

You're actually crazy.

Talking about N5000 as Farouq just did is a class-loaded statement, as she assumed d right to speak for impoverished Nigerians. N5K is only $8.74 which will feed a poor for 7 days at $1.25 per day. How will he cope from day 8 to day 30?

Madam haba na. Sometimes na de make things look like joke. Any poor person wey claim say him or her never see 5k before may his poverty remain with him or her. Haba

Majority of our leaders will just wake come dey run dia mouth like yeye tap water...5k kill you

Nigerians don't have issue with the cash transfer the Koko of the matter is who are you sending it to? You gather your people and give them then say you gave them to Nigerians. Scammer kawai

So you know that some Nigerians are so poor that they have not seen 5000 before yet you and your colleagues are looting the public funds in trillions? Na thunder go fire all of una, ndi oshi🤔

This woman practically insulted her employer... Doings

They dish out poverty mentality to their illiterate followers while they fly around the world. Choose not to believe but Nigeria is cursed! What if another Fulani becomes the president after Buhari? E sure me say them go shake 5k for 2023 election.

Scam! Abeg shift jare

Shirme😂😂

See insult thank God am not a nigeria

Kai!!! Be careful who rules you

Yeye woman

We need to immortalize all this faces to represent days of oppression

Lie from the pit of hell.

Sha have agreed that Nigeria is indeed the head quarter of poverty. With all this humanitarian gesture, greed and tribalism will not all all them go beyond 10 pockets. Na dem dem

Prison u suppose go oo for saying such bad leader bad mother bad woman

So Nigerians are so poor like this-,no wonder we won the award. The poorest country. God no go forgive una.

This terrorists just been trying zoo people. Fuel subsidy is here already,so what are U gonna do?

Have you seen it before you become a minister?

Insult to Nigerians.😡

Na wa o,see has dem dey degrade ordinary Nigerians,do you want to tell me that a petty trader by the road side can not earn as much as 5000 in a week?even a beggar can get more than that in two weeks,nonsense people.

And the government is happy that there are people who have not seen5000 before. Politics of hunger.

Some Alamajiris have never seen 5000naira before, tell that female thief to be referring her statement according to the section of the people she is talking about.

That is ur people in the North not in South East everyone in South East whether little or big boy girl woman man in South East is rich u can talk about ur fulani janjaweed OK sadiq

They want to turn Nigeria to one large Almajiri republic. 5k when they can life better for the citizens.

If this country was industrialized and exported finished goods, many of these people would actually dish out N5000 handouts.

Weldone Ma. One day na one day 🙂

Am sorry Ma’am, na lie🤣

Especially BMC Cos if they have they won't be this deluded because of 12k

Thank God say I leave that country for una.

You're not feeling fine ma.
