Nigerians took to popular microblogging website, Twitter on Thursday, November 5, 2015 to express disappointment in the President Muhammadu Buhari government, for failing to deliver one of its major campaign promises to pay unemployed youths N5,000 monthly stipend.
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) has lampooned the All Progressives Congress, (APC) for deceiving Nigerians with fake promises during campaign.
According to them, the rejection of the N5,000 monthly stipend by APC Senators, clearly indicates the monumental hypocrisy obtainable in the ruling party.
Several other Nigerians couldn’t agree less with the PDP and they took to Twitter to vent their anger.
Below are some of the Tweets from some disappointed Nigerians:

Dear @Mbuhari , I know you "pay" Zahra more than $100k monthly.
From the way she shines, I know..
But all the youths want is #Our5k— Atiku x Okowa 2023 (@AO23NG) November 5, 2015
If we don't demand for #Our5k
That means any party can just wake up tomorrow and promise to bring snow to Umuahia and we vote for them.
