        The money is already stolen. There is no central database that tracks poor households and the movement of their family income. That ambiguity will lead to the creation of fictitious names as a front to steal and launder the money.

        Why not use the money to invest in a project that will benefit the community and create jobs.

        Because they can't steal from it and they can't use it to control election results.

        They steal from everything. Don’t they abandon projects after commissioning? It’s all about diversifying their looting ways

        What they are trying to tell you is that what you just read is pure political lies and deceit from the government, a way to embezzle the whole damn money without the citizen getting a penny. It's a political scam.

        There's no database in Nigeria that covers poor households. This is another way to siphon the money.
