How do they select their beneficiaries? Randomly? Through raffle or through connections?

Noted.

This is nonsense.
In 2025 we're still sharing Keke and Motorcycle while countries like China is using driverless cars for public transportation.

hams on our leaders.

Toh

He tried..Gbeere

Lol

A senator receives 2 billion

A rep member 1 billion

for constituency projects

All these in a country that houses the poorest people on the planet..
A man made povery capital

If we can remove subsidy
we can also run a single legislature
Wasting unnecessary funds on politicians and their children will lead Nigeria no where


things like the one below
have been programmed and powered by politicians to divide and keep the citizenry perpetually blind online simply by promoting tribalism and religious bigotry.

Very good and commendable..... now watch as some retarded cannibals will land here and start wailing.



The same (land of dying sun) were youths are empowered with wheelbarrows, head pans and ropes(to tie goats)

Na which hotel dem call u go last?

Only to be taken back after the photo shooting.

Security of life and property, basic amenities, but no, they would rathe keep deceiving themselves.

The most effective empowerment is mental empowerment

Giving people money and tools will only empower them temporarily and keep them poor

On another note… Oga Seun, very soon we will leave nairaland for you, your Bot and your Mods..

This is becoming counterproductive… even harmless comments, next thing is ban and deletion of comment…

Even though the ban is temporary, but trust me this is killing the vibes, and it’s the vibes that bring people to nairaland

Do something about this… we love Nairaland but at this rate, it may just remain you and your Bots

This is laudable.

Many people do not know the difference a single tool can make to an artisan, or how much a freezer can change the life of a person selling drinks and frozen food.

In your region, they are sharing cutlasses to Umu Chineke as empowerment.

Have you forgotten how they built prisoners for your children?

They will steal from u and still get ur loyalty by giving u crumbs from what they have stolen from you so that they can keep stealing from us.

The black man is his own biggest enemy. Same tricks every time

God bless the man for empowering his people

AmalaAtiEwedu:

Na which hotel dem call u go last?

To be honest, the tools are still far better

Some gave goats, barrows, pigs and shoe shine kits as empowerment to their constituencies

Quite better Sha

Abaribe has been in the senate over 16 years now.
He has never given any of these as his projects.

Don't forget that Tinubu gives each house of assembly member 1 billion naira for constituency projects.
