The announcement of this plan was made by Tinubu, who outlined the intention to transfer the aforementioned sum to impoverished households across the nation. The implementation of this initiative is expected to take place within the next six months.
Tinubu’s proposal was articulated in a letter addressed to the House of Representatives regarding the former President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s request for an $800 million loan, designated for the social safety net program.
In response to this development, Eedris Abdulkareem took to his Instagram page to express his strong opposition to the palliative plan, labeling it as a scam.
The singer emphasized that Nigerians are in need of sustainable productivity that can lead to genuine prosperity, rather than relying on temporary handouts.

In his Instagram post, Abdulkareem conveyed his stance, stating, “Palliatives are a scam! Nigerians don’t need handouts; they need productivity that will lead to prosperity. Now you know.”
This critical viewpoint from a prominent Nigerian artist reflects the growing skepticism surrounding such governmental palliative programs and their effectiveness in addressing the deeper socio-economic issues faced by the Nigerian population.
As public figures like Eedris Abdulkareem raise their voices against what they perceive as short-term solutions, the debate surrounding the best strategies to uplift the Nigerian society and promote lasting prosperity continues.
The effectiveness and impact of palliative measures versus long-term investments in productivity and economic development remain crucial subjects for discussion among policymakers and citizens alike.
