Fraudsters Are At It Again - Nigerians Beware!

The Federal Government of Nigeria is not;  REPEAT - IS NOT - giving N50,000 for child Support.

"The Federal Government is giving ₦50,000 for child support to all Nigerian parents."
This fraudulent claim hit the internet airwaves and went viral in 2023.

The claim has been recurring since 2023, and though the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs has debunked the rumor, it has continued to recur with slight modifications.

One version says:

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ₦50,000 CHILD SUPPORT FUND FOR ALL NIGERIAN PARENTS IS ONGOING

“Due to high level of complains from Nigerian parents on the high cost of feeding their children, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged that the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Betta C. Edu should open the CHILD SUPPORT scheme. Every Nigerian parent is entitled to receive the sum of ₦50,000 for six months.

“Are You A Mother or Father in Nigeria Apply Now For Federal Government ₦50,000 CHILD SUPPORT Cash Transfer. APPLY NOW. https://tr.ee/Child-Support-Fund-Portal. N.B: SHARE WITH OTHER PARENTS LET THEM ALL BENEFIT FROM THE CHILD SUPPORT.”

Another version goes like this:

*FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ₦50,000 CHILD SUPPORT FUND FOR ALL NIGERIAN PARENTS IS ONGOING*

Due to high level of complains from Nigerian parents on the high cost of feeding their children, *President Bola Ahmed Tinubu* have urge that the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation *Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda* should open the CHILD SUPPORT scheme. Every Nigerian parents is entitled to receive the sum of ₦50,000 for 6 months.

Are You A Mother or Father in Nigeria Apply Now For Federal Government ₦50,000 CHILD SUPPORT Cash Transfer

*APPLY NOW*

N.B: SHARE WITH OTHER PARENTS LET THEM ALL BENEFIT FROM THE *CHILD SUPPORT.*

The United Igbo Elders Council Worldwide - News Blog verified the claim and came up with the following findings:

  1. Our keyword search on the story revealed that Guardian Online had reported the news to be false in 2023.
  2. The Federal government had alerted the public of a fake child support scheme. 
  3. The former minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, said the scheme and accompanying links are fake and did not emanate from the ministry.
  4. Web Adviser check on the link labeled it as "SUSPICIOUS."

NOW LISTEN! 

Due to rising poverty levels in Nigeria - occasioned by clueless, planless, corruption-ridden,  governments at all levels; heartless, hell-bound scammers have schemed up different forms of "Poverty Alleviation Programs" to rip off hungry Nigerians and make them more hungry.

Above viral message which has been recurring on WhatsApp groups since 2023 stating that the Federal Government is giving  ₦50,000 for child support funds to all parents is one of such wicked, scam devices from the pit of hell.

We clicked on the link and it took us on a journey thus:
  • Redirection to an NDLEA recruitment link. 
  • A click here prompts the applicant to input personal and bank details to claim the support fund.
  • The next click instructs applicants to "Kindly Validate Your Bank Account Number to proceed to the next step."

We are still awaiting response from the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to our email on this subject matter.

So, in conclusion, the claim that the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs is giving money for child support is false. It is a wicked scam schemed up by heartless fraudsters to defraud innocent, hungry Nigerians of their hard earned money in these hard days of hard suffering.

Fellow Nigerians, BEWARE!

“Alaba Rago Has Fallen: Igbo, Think Home Before It Is Too Late!”

  BEING A SPEECH DELIVERED BY H. E. PASTOR MICHAEL OBIERIKA AT A UNIEC SUMMIT Distinguished Elders, Respected Leaders, my brothers and sisters in the struggle for the survival and prosperity of Ndigbo—I speak to you this morning as a Concerned Elder Statesman.  Just a few days ago, the Lagos State Government sent in its bulldozers. And in the twinkling of an eye, Alaba Rago —was demolished, reduced to dust and silence. In case you do not know, Alaba Rago is that sprawling Hausa cattle market that had fed countless families, powered trade, and stood as a testimony to Northern enterprise in Lagos.  That, my people, is not just the fall of a market. It is a warning from history . A message written in bold letters, not only to the Hausa who owned that market, but especially to us, the Igbo—because we, more than any other people, have invested the sweat of our brow and the blood of our youth into Lagos. But let me ask us here today: if Alaba Rago could fall, what t...

Okolie Raises Alarm Over Collapsing Federal Roads in Delta State Calls on Presidency, FERMA, and Ministry of Works to Act Urgently By Our Reporter Asaba, Delta State – A Patron of the United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide, (UNIEC) and member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ngozi Okolie, has raised fresh concerns over the worsening state of major federal roads in Delta State, describing them as “lifelines now failing at great human and economic cost.” Speaking in a statement yesterday, Okolie highlighted three critical corridors — the Asaba-Illah-Ebu-Ubiaja Road, the Asaba-Onitsha Expressway, and the Okpanam-Asaba Highway — all of which he said have deteriorated into death traps despite repeated parliamentary interventions. “These roads are not just infrastructure; they are lifelines that connect people, communities, and economies,” Okolie declared. “Yet today, they stand as stark reminders that government promises must be matched...

UNIEC Condemns Barbaric and Brutal Attack By Terrorists On Worshippers At Christ Apostolic Church

Image
  Statement from the United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide e United Igbo Elders Congress Worldwide condemns—unequivocally and in the strongest terms—the barbaric and brutal attack carried out by armed gunmen on worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Eruku, Kwara State, on the night of November 18, 2025. This horrific incident, in which innocent Christians gathered in a vigil were savagely attacked, is an affront to every principle of humanity, decency, and civilized society. Reports indicate that the attackers opened fire on worshippers, killing at least three congregants and abducting several others, including the pastor. This tragedy shakes the conscience, not only because of the loss of innocent lives, but also because of the chilling nature of the attack. How can it be said that murderers took their time slaughtering old men and women in cold blood—unchallenged? How can such unspeakable evil unfold in a supposedly civilized society without the immediate intervention of s...
