Overall, the discussions and reactions among Nigerians to the 8,000 Naira per month transfer palliative by President Tinubu demonstrate the engagement and active participation of the people in shaping policies that impact their lives. The collective voice of the nation serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to improve the well-being of all Nigerians, particularly those facing economic hardships.

See some of the reactions below;

Timmynaija-“Just invest the entire money into our energy… Stable electricity will reduce the poverty rate.”

Theresa-“Its good the N8,000 will be sent via digital transfers directly to beneficiaries accounts and mobile wallets. That way there’s transparency and accountability. I believe there will be other palliatives aside this.”

Abdullahi-“Giving N8,000 transfer palliative is good gesture. Half of bread is better than none. Poor man in Nigeria these days barely afford to eat three square meals.”

Engr MI Gold-“Transferring 8,000 to registered APC members monthly is arrant nonsense, what affect everyone is transportation, reinvent the federal mass transit and make transport cheaper both local and interstate. Many have left their jobs because transport is high.”

Deji Adeyanju-“Tinubu’s N8,000 monthly palliative not only an avenue to divert public funds but an insult to the sensibility of Nigerians. It is food for the boys. Almost every kobo of the billions will be stolen. It is better to use the money to buy airplanes for a national carrier.”

Akin Akinwale-“I am eagerly anticipating a response from Mr. Dele Alake regarding the palliative issue. The information I came across on Bashir’s timeline is difficult to believe. It would be a serious error to assume that ₦8,000 for six months is the amount of palliative assistance intended to sustain each household through the impact of fuel subsidy removal. If the reports on Bashir’s timeline are accurate, it would be both laughable and humiliating.”

Reno Omokri-“The plan by President Tinubu to pay ₦8000 monthly to 12 million households as fuel subsidy removal palliatives is commendable. It gives a human face to the harsh economic necessity of petrol subsidy withdrawal. But to help our nation grow, I would suggest to the President that he ties the ₦8000 monthly payment to the condition that children in recipient families MUST attend school and have their payment vouchers signed by the principal/headmaster of their school proving that they attended school throughout that month, failure of which they will not be paid. That way, Nigeria will reduce her current population of 20 million out-of-school children. And it will have an immediate impact on our economy, as educated children tend to be healthier, less likely to engage in terrorism and criminality, and also less likely to be teenage parents. Furthermore, as a nation, we should not only give fish to people experiencing poverty. We should also teach willing Nigerians how to fish. I, therefore, recommend to the President that he may want to provide free training and business grants (not loans, but grants) to at least half a million Nigerian youths to enable them to start up verifiable small and medium-scale enterprises. Nigeria’s situation is similar to that of the United States of the 1930s, and this was how President FDR Roosevelt empowered Americans through the New Deal. In that way, the President will help Nigerian youths to help themselves as well as to help Nigeria. Once again, good job, and kudos to the President. If he, however, does wrong, he should also expect knocks.”
