AnanseK:


Long delayed by same crooks who jerked up the budget by over 500 billion Naira. Obviously the padded billions are meant to go to the legislators pockets. Pockets already building with the criminal payments of 13 million Naira monthly and 200million annual bonus. You people want the country destroyed just because you hate Buhari.

Are you this dumb not to be capable of doing research on what the so called padding is meant for and not just making your own stupid conclusion...Infact in a serious democracy budgeting should be the responsibility of the legislatures with executive input and not the other way round

Esseite:


So we are now on the dates and not if it was defended or not?... pathetic

You are beyond help.

Buhari, pls sign this budget. I even thought that the senate would have raised the budget more than the amount they have raised it to. Is the price of crude oil not up to 80 dollar again? Since there is a good rise in the price of oil compare to the initial amount u initially budgeted, I don't see how d small N500b d senate added to the budget has become a problem for u not signing d budget..Where I would ve' been against d senate is, if they had increased the recurrent expenditure without increasing the capital expenditure.
Pls, Mr president sign the budget there is hunger in d country..

I do say that Nigerian law makers are the major problem that we have in this country,they delayed the budget for too long and now they hijacked it up again so that they can have their own way as well,it was during last passage of budget that will see paddle and what we are seeing now is beyond that may god save us from them...i trust PMB,with his integrity he may ask them to reduce it

Some of you have little knowledge on the economy and this your stunt "Integrity of Buhari". Now, let me educate you:
The budget benchmark for crude oil was peg at $45 per barrel, but now the current market price $71-$80 barrel, which either excess of $26-$35 go into excess crude account ( reason why excess crude account is going up everyday with out any major capital project going on), now the Senate dim it fit to include some projects and increase the budget of vital ministries like education, defence and social welfare in order to reflect on lives of common men in the streets, not to be having huge sum in excess crude account while Nigerians are become more poorer by the day.
Your " Mr integrity " is hiding so many thing; paying subsidies secretly, increased daily oil consumption from 30million to 60 million liters, running government on propaganda and releasing fictitious and bogus figures while there is nothing to show for it, pumping dollars to capital market, making corruption a systemic.etc.

Did you say integrity? Maybe it means something else to you. Ever wondered why the Mr integrity chant suddenly abruptly stopped since he took over power? Wake up!!

2018 budget is as good as nothing if he signs it or not, the year is already over and elections is around the corner.

Then I ask what happened to the 2017 budget? Because no body is talking about it has it been signed into law.

Exactly

Go to kwara nd see how millions of people re held in hopeless servitude under his demonic spell.

Funny how someone can see the speck in other people eyes but can't see the forest in their own, what of your president. . . . . Laff wan kii me i swear. LMAO

Angry Igbos like you can never think straight and to them stealing is not corruption even 3 years after the departure the clueless President.

Mogidi:


Oil is now over $80 yet Buhari's padded budget says $45.

It's a good thing we are using a more conservative number.

This is what the legislators did under GEJ. If oil prices collapse again, you will start hearing: Buhari refused to save.

God Bless you. Me I don talk tire. Many people on social media are proudly ignorant.

Is this really a Change govt from a Progressive Party who tagged my Administration corrupt.

Jer6s:
The only "SIGN" I am interested in as regards Buhari is when he SIGNS Off being the president
That would be a SIGN of RELIEF!

you can wait for that come 2023.

This is very simple the executive could channel the excess money to any viable project omitted and write to the Senate about it.

Even if they are paid BMC or what, should they be spilling out senseless comments, I won't dare pay such rubbish as if they don't reason at all.

shekauvsbuhari:
its like u are a paid BMC internet zombie. Are U not de same person as #opeyemicollins#? BMC paid keyboard warriors I dey hail!

Can the Senate ever cut down initial budgeted fund? Must it always be an increase anytime they pass back the budget? When are we going to have structural debate on allocation for Education ,Health and infrastructures. We have been left behind by civilization yet cannot change our way of thinking in governance.

PassingShot:

Educate yourself and you will realize that the budget was defended.

What was not done was to allow the crooks add their cut to the budget.


2017 budget runs till May 31, 2018.

Our fiscal year is from June 1st to May 31st.

Nothing was done with all our budgets since 2015

Oga you have been missing for a very long time. Your analysis is always spot on. Find time to contribute more, Nigeria needs your kind.

Esseite:


Read and you just might break that yoke of zombies
Buhari gave that order end of last month, so when did they defend it?

For you to think Senate would pass budget without defending it, you have to reduce your codeine consumption

PassingShot:
The burden is on the Senate to explain why the budget was jacked up and how the funding will be sourced.

I heard part of the jack up was to provide funds for subsidy the government has failed to admit but are secretly paying unbudgetted off the NNPC.

Mogidi:


Oil is now over $80 yet Buhari's padded budget says $45.

How long would it stay at $45? And how does reducing our oil benchmark accrue to padding?

Effective planning means accounting for all eventualities. If the oil benchmark remains at $80, we would be able to fund the budget, if not, $45 would cover.

martineverest:

is mogidi with his senses?

Even if the Oil price is $80, since today,
Because the last time I check, as of yesterday, it was $73.

and this government is behaving as if he has more money than your ineffectual buffoon era.

You can see the paradox.
Buhari is receiving half of what your ineffectual buffoon was receiving.

And with this half revenue, buhari budget is more than twice of your ineffectual buffoon budget.

And buhari has done thrice in 3yrs of what your ineffectual buffoon could not do for 6yrs.

See paradox, no jobless intellectually lazy idiotic pigs of Biafra can explain. That is what Omokri and ffk cannot explain.

see how you are disgracing yourself in public. Primary na giraffing. Secondary school, you scape through by cheating. How do youwant to understand what budget is all about. You are just hearing of padded but you don't know the meaning. Shame on you!

Your zombified version has no remedy, I didn't want to reply you, but I went through all posts, there's hardly no one without " Idiotic Biafra pig", then I understand your frustration and you need help. I am never from South East or Biafra, but it,s very very unfortunate that your demi senile god, who is known all the world to be certificate- less, first class in ineffective buffoonery, crass and highest level incompetence ( even appointing the dead he has once sent a condolence massage)....
I understand your plight.
