"I heard the FG 50k grant is for poor Nigerians, i know i am not poor God even forbids me being poor but i really deserve to receive that 50k. Why am i not eligible," he wrote.
How the FG's N50k Grant Works
The federal government has clarified that selection for the N50,000 grant is not open to public applications.
Beneficiaries are drawn from the National Social Register and verified identity records, meaning only those already in the government's existing database of vulnerable Nigerians are considered eligible.
Payments are being distributed in phases, with selected individuals contacted directly in batches.
The government also issued a warning to Nigerians against paying any third party who claims to be able to secure a spot on the beneficiary list, describing such promises as fraudulent.
Authorities additionally stated that Nigerians who have not yet received a text message notifying them of the grant should not automatically conclude they have been left out, as the rollout is ongoing in stages.
