Tacha leads clamour for #payusviaBVN

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha has asked the Federal Government to wire conditional cash transfers directly to citizens account.

This is opposed to the Government's age-long tradition of sharing cash by hand in clusters.

Leading the clamour on Twitter, she insisted that the mode used to transfer the money must be done via Bank Verification Number and not through phone number.

Use our BVN not our PHONE NUMBERs, no hungry person will practice personal hygiene!!
-CREDIT NIGERIANS (BVN)
-FOOD BANK

The BVN is an 11 digit number and it acts as your universal ID in all commercial banks in Nigeria. It serves as an identification process for account holders in the country.

The TV reality star also asked for food banks, electricity, security and water to indeed make the stay-at-home period worthwhile.

Not long after she began the clamour did Nigerians and fellow titians jump on the trend.

Please tell somebody to tell another person to make this #payusviaBVN trend the same way Tacha this and Tacha that trends if una no want this money me I need am badly. pic.twitter.com/8H4P3KBjVK

It's only a transparent and an accountable govt that would consider #PayUsviaBVN option.

I repeat, all the donations announced by Nigerian billionaires are fake, at best they are government patronage.

UBA & First Bank for instance could have easily paid their customers via BVN. The only reason Buhari, the APC has refused to#payusviaBVN is because they are LOOTERS!!

You want us to maintain social distance & stay safe off the pandemic, understandable! But not for another 14 days with no source of income

NCDC having our number means the govt can get to us, our welfare is vital & BVN is a good means#payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN #payusviaBVN

1/ When you have 500k or 1m in your account, you would think you’re in heaven. By the time you eventually spend the money down to 100k or 75k under this lockdown and there’s no OTHER means of getting money, that’s when you will know we need help from the government! #payusviaBVN
