This is not between wailing wailers and lying lairs, it is a matter of government's ability to keep running. Without a budget, we will witness a very first Government Shutdown.... It happened in the US sometime ago. Dunno how it works here

why cnt they flush,sack,dismiss,remove,Fire those corrupt civil servants,so that d youths can get jobs.

The Health Minister says the budget he submitted to the Presidency is different from the budget at the NASS but somehow APC want us to believe civil servants are to blame?

I should like to think the Civil Servants would have done their work before the Minister accepted the budget and submitted to Presidency?

Which civil servants are they trying to blame now?

i knw baba will fish one by one amog them
severely funished and fire them as well.

Kai, Nigerians are just too daring.
Even with the arrest, imprisonment and probes currently been seen all over the place people are still here stealing and padding.

Who cares about what someone who is aggrieved & letting steam feels or , is releasing pent up emotions...

Life is what you make of it, mine does not revolve or let me say, is not made better by getting into online rants & feuds to feel like "I'm the man".

Didn't Buhari go through the budget before presenting it to the senate? The same man who said he was slow to avoid mistakes. He's corrupt, he should stop deceiving Nigerians that he is fighting corruption.

I am sure you are praying to be great, when you are, i pray urs wont be worse. And by d way, how many pages do u think d budget is... it is not like ur story book o.

Has he finished travelling around d world. Is it nt sum1 dat stays @ home dat will knw wats hapnin @ home?

To be honest this development is the sort even the most staunch fan of Buhari cannot and should not defend. This is a disappointment and Buhari must move decisively to resolve this budget bruhaha that is making his government look fraudulent and no different to that he he promised us he would operate different to. Buhari is beginning to lose the goodwill of Nigerians after they believed in him and made sacrifices for his win in the hope he would be "change". I am disappointed. Really dissapointed with this budget saga. It shows a very serious disconnection between Buhari and those under him.

Like Aressa asked, why has Buhari kept on the many crooks who brought down the GEJ government? No deserving Nigerians to replace them? I doubt that. PMB should sit up and start taking 100% control with his own appointees and directives. Otherwise we are back to square one and some of us will simply begin considering how to replace an ineffective government that cannot move us forward.

Product of corrupt government

have u ever had a copy of the budget and go thru it? If he is late, you wil stil open ur big mouth to complain. God, when will humans be satisfied? Always complaining whether good or bad thats why Nigeria never progress because we use our own mouths to curse our own motherland

Teddeebear:

blame game continues, was the ministers not supposed to go through the budget before sending it to buhari, hahaha liars you need to liar every day to cover up your poo, the rubbish bills for State house is Gej appointees working in state house, hahaha

your lies is disgusting.

The minister of health confessed that his budget was tempered with who took the budget for correction, Gej's appointeees hahaha

liars, you people are disgusting, yuck!!

Directors in ministry are never by appointment, it is purely civil service promotion. liarssssssss?

Is something wrong with you or were you just born rude and uncouth ? You are the one who is disgusting with how you cannnot quote others politely and must lead with insults like a frustrated soul. Where is the "blame game" or "lies" in my post? Do you not see where I charge Buhari to accept full responsibility and begin taking 100% control with his own appointments and directives ? It is instructive that nairaland APC supporters are already critically appraising Buhari, after 8 months in office, and concluding his effort is not good enough in some regards. This is very different to GEJ fans who watched him destroy Nigeria for 5 years yet clannishly and zealously demanded he get 4 more years in charge while they totally ignored the glaring misrule and looting under Jonathan. It is obvious APC fans mean well for Nigeria and are always ready to look beyond the individual, i.e PMB in this case, to support what is right while Jonathan fans know no better than to shout "GEJ till 2080" up and down like mindless zombies.

I personally still believe in PMB but I think he must now take firmer control of activities in every sector under him and he must take his oversight duties very, very seriously lest charlatans and self-serving appointees of government destroy the credibility of his government and take Nigeria back to square one in the process. The excuses under GEJ of "good President led astray by bad appointees/advise" will not be tenable under Buhari because the APC is a different animal consisting of people who want the best for Nigeria and not clannish bigots who will support their misruling kinsman blindly via delivering 100% votes for him as reward for said leader taking Nigeria backwards horribly. This is why some of us are urging Buhari to sit up. He is lucky that APC supporters are mainly reasonable and balanced Nigerians seeking the best for their nation and not ethnocentric charlatans who will keep praising him while Nigeria is moving backwards.

People talk as if when given Nigeria to them to rule, they will do it corrupt free. Nawa oo wahalla dey.

I blame PMB and his team for this fiasco simply because nearly all the top bureaucrats and agency heads are GEJ appointees which PMB should have fired a long time ago.

lol,
the last time I checked Gej is not interested in Nigerian politics, he has washed his hands off, so that those who claimed that they know it all take over.

so i don't know the idea of what you mean by gej supporter.

The problem with you guys is simple, you never saw anything good in him, so. pro gej had every right to defend him

The idea of thinking that buhari can study the entire budget and supervise effectively.. the all the ministry is not possible.

If he tries it he will breakdown. The only reasonable thing is to appoint people he can trust not compensating political party of course, he will step on toes.

I talk am.....I said it....
the PDP that were allowed to either remain or manoeuvre their way into the presidency and Senate are behind the ruckus.They are specialist in padding bills and contracts as they have been doing for the past 16 years.

PMB should weed out these corruptible elements, including those who aligned themselves to the party.

PDP have nothing good to offer Nigerians but cancer knowns as "CORRUPTION" !!! It's their forte.

Iroh88:
I have said it and I would repeat it again; whether Buhari's admin succeeds or fails (as the Wailing Ekpas would want it to), the buck would stop at his table.

If I were the president, I would appoint only the people I know and in whom I have highest confidence and trust and let everyone who doesn't like that go sit on a porcupine.

There are way too many rotten remnants of the regime of the Ineffectual Ogogoro Buffoon in the current regime and the need to be weeded out asap. These guys are addicted to the old order and it would take a mental surgery to change their orientation, Baba can ill afford to retain them.

If he fails, no one is going to consider the Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, etc men that worked with him who might have failed in their respective duties, the ONLY person people would point fingers at is HIM!!

The earlier he realises that, the better for him.

perhaps he should appoint himself as sole admin,messenger,cook,doctor and every other cos he already appointed those working right now. Even after wasting valuable time he gave us bunch of incompetent people!

arresa:




I don't even remember soliciting pele from any iPoD loser so of what relevance is this pointless post?

Since when did pele become abuse?

Jonathan came with oil and gas mafia. now buhari has come with budget mafia.

what arrant rubbish spewing from the minds of these old men. does the president find it difficult to take ownership and blame for his corrupt report.

can you as the ceo or finance controller of a company of department tell your boss you don't know how the figures in your report came about and you wont be fired on the spot. can you imagine the president of US or Russia or the prime minister of Britain saying the budget he sent to house of commons did not represent his position.

busy blaming ghosts and faceless people. BUHARI AND KEMI #TAKE OWNERSHIP/BE RESPONSIBLE

Are u wit ur right senses?
This people and offices u mentioned, are dey powerful 2 influence budget dan those of statutory and oda political positions held by those appointed by Buhari?
Do u even knw d duties and obligations of d ministers?

Much better post with a reasonable tone people will respond to rather unlike you previous style based on insulting others needlessly. I agree with you about the part in bold even as I must stress that Buhari still has to raise his awareness of everything going on under the Presidency and he must improve his ability to supervise and oversee the activities of important public officials. This is indeed the point me and Aressa make here. After so much time in office Buhari should have his 'crew' in place so if he fails we blame him squarely. Why entertain the very dangerous situation of leaving 'soiled hands' from the past regime in charge of very important processes and office when PMB should have his own trusted and competent allies, who key into his change and transformation agenda, in place?

I can't stand the excuse of claiming bad advisers and appointees misled or undermined "good leaders". A good and competent leader's main strength must be the ability to put round peg in round holes to deliver success. You may not know it but we are saying the same thing. Buhari will not have it easy from APC supporters and he will not be allowed to hide behind "bad" advisers or appointees excuse when we all know he is free to sack and replace them with more competent men and women who will deliver for Nigeria.

So he presented the budget with a cursory glance at the document he was to present to the national Assembly?

Presidents don't sit around drawing up budgets or scrutinizing budgets, that's other people's responsibility from the ministries to the budget office.

Get some civic education and quit spewing rubbish on the internet.

Hmmmmm... how much did u collect from GEJ??

Kenai:
Hehehe. There they go again... Looking for scapegoats to hide their incompetence. But why should I be surprised?

When you have an incompetent, irresponsible iddiot for a leader, he will blame everyone and everything for his failures without accepting a shred of responsibility.
Here, their zombies are back with morronic threads, hoping to whitewash their leader's battered image. The soulless shills they are.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you recall the international gaffe committed by this same Buhari on September 2015, when the junketeer and his band of dunces embarked on a SIGHT-SEEING adventure in New York instead of attending the UN confejrence meeting on Insurgency? When they missed that meeting and the embarrassment went global, do you remember what happened next? They first lied that the meeting was UNOFFICIAL, hence unimportant; but when PremiumTimes exposed them as liars, they began to look for a scapegoat.
"Buhari's Team Accuses Ambassador Joy Ogwu Of Sabotage" was what followed. The illiterates weren't even ashamed of themselves, they went about trying to pin the blame on the poor woman for their hero's EMBARRASSING INCOMPETENCE. Their zombies went wild on Nairaland trying to spin it, while their inbred, slow-witted tribalistic monkeys even accused the woman of having a "BIAFRAN AGENDA"
Pray tell, what eventually became of that show? Shey the matter don die silently? Buhari and his team are FULLY aware that the bulk of his supporters are DIMWITS, and all it takes to keep them going is publishing some junk on the page of a newspaper whenever the man's incompetence is laid bare for the whole world to see. He has ABSOLUTELY no respect for them, and frankly, I can't blame him.

Wasn't this the same dunce who delayed appointment of ministers for 6 whole months while choosing to work with only Perm Secs? Didn't his dumb supporters equally try to run with that narrative that "Perm Secs are all we need"? He didn't accuse those Perm Secs of being Jonathan's men oh. Now he's been exposed with his disgusting budget and he's looking for a scapegoat. Tell me, did Perm Secs also draft the State House budget?

Mr. I-Am-Slow-To-Avoid-Mistakes shot himself on the foot and his supporters are aimlessly running around in panic. He has been TOTALLY exposed for the fraud he is. And please tell him to drop his fake "Anti Corruption" act, as we can all see it was nothing but a LIE.

A bad technician will always blame his tools.

Wailers sef... That budget is the budget of wailers. Their paymasters who are scared of zero budgetting must pay for this. Budget of change loading.
those crooks took advantage of the fact that he appointed his ministers about six weeks before the presentation. They were very much aware they got little/no time to scrutinize the draft. But this development would only irk buhari to further beam his searchlight on the civil service. They'd better watch it this time, it would be brutal henceforth.
No lie only truth!

Or is this trolling?
Chisoz!!!

No need defending the indefensible. The budget is a fraud, an exercise of daylight robbery, an unmitigated embarrassment and Buhari must take FULL responsibility.

First the case of the missing budget, then the allegations of substitutions, then lately the health minister, in a most embarrassingly stomach-wrenching moment conceivable, claiming the budget he saw wasn't his.

PMB, you owe we your supporters an apology.

However, attempts by pro-GEJ folks to make cheap gains is nauseating. Didn't you guys consider it curious that last year the money spent on purchase of books last year was N7m for the VP office, almost double that for this year? Are you guys aware house rent issue was part of 2014 and 2015 budget?

There is clearly something seriously and fundamentally flawed with our budgeting process. PMB should do the needful asap.
