The point is, we expects same impacts. Because this was exactly the strategy adopted by APC during the 2015 presidential campaign period. Helping poor people to fry garii, nail shoes,plait hair,even hawk akara does not change the person and your intents, APC did same and we are yet to see the impacts. Hopefully this would be different and it is genuine.

You may want to know a little about the people on the currency you spend everyday and why they were significant enough to appear on the note.

Before the introduction of the Nigerian currency, Nigeria used the pound as currency between 1907 and 1973 and before colonization, trade by barter was used. The idea of including images of people on the Nigerian currency probably came from the pound that was previously used. Then, the pound had images of random people and places on the notes but as Nigerian grew independent the Naira note became a symbol that represents Nigerians and the culture of the Nigerian people. 5 Naira note has the image of Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa:

The lawmaker, a former journalist, said this while addressing the issue of fatherless children in the society during the opening of a rehabilitation centre. Wa Muchomba said some of the societal problems, including alcoholism among young people, could largely be blamed on raising children in the absence of substantive fathers. “We need to be honest; these children who are raised by single mothers, where are their fathers? “And why do we want to pretend that this is not a problem?
