This is a very dumb move from a very dumb governor.
Citizens of developing country shouldn't be hand outs,as it breeds laziness, encourages systemic corruption and it's unsustainable.
What rochas should be creating is jobs and investment opportunities.
This is just one of his numerous populist policies that's conter-productive in the long term.
Smh.

Its you that should use your brain to think. In how many places in the world do they pay jobless people?

No wonder he left PDP. It is a step in the right directions but I hope it will be properly implemented. First thing is that these graduates must show that they are searching for jobs but haven't found one. The intent is not to pay lazy jobless people but to pay hardworking people who have not found work.

However, this still does not solve the bigger problem of job creation. Rochas needs to make his state more condusive for private investors to bring and create jobs in Imo State. That is where the real work is. Having said all of this, Rochas is definitely one of the best five governors in Nigeria.

it is not paying jobless people, it is called Social Security. Its done in some places in d world.

cman77: @babe online.there r lots of places in d world where d unemployed r paid,it is kalld social security.infact d US spends like 10billion usd on social security alone.d old,unemployed,handicapped etc who can't wk r paid some little allowance.so don't b parochial minded,try nd read,listen to news nd b informed,even if u have nt travelld outside d country B4.and about d allowance to be paid to imo unemployed grad,its a good move.it doesn't stop job/wealth creation.is it better 4 d politicians to steal d moni? Certainly nt.

babe_online: This is a very stupid move. It seems like in Nigeria there is money but the government is just anti growth and development. How will you be giving people that are not working monthly allowances when you can use that money to build stores like shotrite where people will be working, boosting the country's economy, and getting paid?!?!?

Hoodrat:

From your post one can tell you don't get out much, in every developed country social security goes a long way in improving the lives of the unemployed and frustrated souls, an hungry man is an angry man. Nice move by the Governor i hope other states can follow suit to help improve our social system so the youth can thrive and be motivated to do something meaningful by creating employment for their selves with the little they receive from the government because this is how a country develop.

Fhemmmy:

And what stops the leaders we have in Nigeria from creating jobssssss and giving opportunities . . .

dabiko: This is a welcome development.

This is a very silly move. It seems like in Nigeria there is money but the government is just anti growth and development. How will you be giving people that are not working monthly allowances when you can use that money to build stores like shotrite where people will be working, boosting the country's economy, and getting paid?!?!?
