        I am not Nigerian and not untitled to this revenue. However, there are strategic ways to aid people living in extreme poverty.

        So who are the poor Nigerians now? How will they be identified and I’m not sure that’s the best way to resolve the poverty situation of the country...I’d expect that the funds are used to create opportunities that would remove the people from the situation.🤦🏾‍♀️ #Pray4Nigeria

        It's a shame that BBC Africa is been used as a tool in the hands of Buhari's failing government, first you post a writeup saying the jos killing were lies and just mere speculations now you've come to affirm this? How was the data gotten? How do you categories the poor Nigerians.

        What's the amount? $500Mil? And there are 87m Nigerians living in extreme poverty (according to a recent report). Now, you do the math...

        I hope this goverment will be responsible& accountable with this mission of sharing the loot to the poor.What is their yardstick for determining the poor & the region they are from?. Who'l be in charge of the sharing?. Hoping this is not another relooting agenda.Time will tell.
