• The money was released for the ThisDay Music Festival in Lagos in 2006
• It was money from the Bayelsa State poverty alleviation fund in Nigeria
• Beyonce and Jay Z performed at the festival along with other American performers to 'tell the world through music that Nigeria's time has come'

Goodluck Jonathan  our current president spent $1million of aid money to entice international popstars such as Beyonce and Jay-Z to perform at a music festival. Nigeria Known to be  in the poverty-stricken country has hosted alot of celebrities of in the name on entertainment. 

A letter stamped and signed by Bayelsa State officials in 2006 revealed that President Goodluck Jonathan, then the Governor of the state, released 150million Nigerian Nairas from the state’s poverty alleviation fund for the inaugural Star Music Festival in the city of Lagos in 2006, according to the media.

The latest document surfaced after reality TV star Kim Kardashian was reportedly paid $500,000 (£329,695) for a fleeting appearance in Lagos last week.

The poverty alleviation fund's mission is to improve the capabilities, livelihoods and well-being of disadvantaged poor communities, in particular ethnic minority communities in Nigeria.

Support is intended to increase poor household income and food security on an environmentally sustainable basis, and demonstrate innovative strategies to achieve United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

I am sure Jay-Z and Beyonce were not expecting this when they came to Nigeria in 2006. Am not surprise the Government did this. I am a key witness of how this poverty alleviation funds do not get to Nigerians. Did you know Nigeria gets this poverty alleviation funds every year?... It high time we Nigerians rise up to all this wrongdoings by our so called government.
