I didn't feel the impact on the ₦7trillion 2017 budget.
Sign the ones you proposed and discard the rest.You said the same thing last year about padding of budget and nobody was punished.yeye sai barber.

gidjah:
Please sign the budget and let the economy of the nation mover forward. We have been stranded for too long abeg. Industrialisation is at a stand still, most construction companies are not working, ministry budgets are not been implemented, no funds to Carry out lots of projects, abeg pass the budget and sign it.that has been the way it goes yearly except you wanna deceive your self oga, you your self will benefit from the corrupt inflated budget, Aso rock budget was also over inflated, we saw it, (a senator brought it to my base to ratify some calculations on expenditures in the Financial sector), you guys need to see huge huge figure wey fit blind eyes!

These Rotten Rogues are ready to run the public fund in to a state of absolute penury. They are expert in padding and always loot under the disguise of projects. We are not always affected by disasters like earthquake, volcano eruptions e.t.c but we have terrible people that are Capable of wrecking more havoc than all those disasters. somehow...

Buhari and issues are 5 and 6. What about Aso Clinic budget?

Even people that can't spell "ashamed" think themselves intelligent.

By the way, there's nothing like "return it back". It's either you "return it" or "put it back". I'm not even sure what you wrote qualifies as tautology.

No mind them. They always want to talk.

Anything to siphon our monies would do, since there is no more ghana must go. Bunch of thieves

-truth burns

Did he even read it?

tell them abeg. Can he even read it even if he manage to read can he understand?

Adekdammy:
He is not happy yet he wants to sign, corrupt legislooters v corrupt executhieves

get sense. Look at the big picture. Don't use you hatred, politics and irrationality to throw the baby with the bath water.
Yes there is padding but should we use these to destroy the country. Sending the budget back would lead to a delay that would affect the masses but you are not concern about this because you want to see the government fail.

this is democracy...their is nothing buhari can do about that.....

una need to watch american senate on youtube......its even more worst....

JONNYSPUTE:
The presidency should be ashemed of themselves for even saying this You re not happy and yet you want to sign it,does it make any sense?. Return it back to them for corrections,oh what I'm even saying? did he read it or some cabals did ?

na so my brother, the truth is that he can not discard any, he has to sign the thing one time, That's the "one chance" Leadership we aff entered o.He knows the difference, this is democracy, you have to rub both sides up, else the citizens go suffer well.

oooohhh you know nothing....some senators were even confused...many things on the list was top secret and scratched out....

even the senators looked confused.....

a senator was even calling jesuuuuus christ.....

kiiikikiki....

Someone that doesn't even has a simple signature is not happy about the budget passed

Maybe coz they didn't input budget for cows and cows colony.

When the National Assembly decide to stifle the budget and we start having cash crunches in the economy you’ll come back to blame the president.

yeah....blame buhari....una see the system una love now....??

democracy is a corrupt system from the root....president is just a face....presidents are not realy in charge....

and if you become too stubborn they kill you like jfk the last american president that tried to say something....

the rest today are schleppers goy....

TBH I don't really get what is happening in this country how can we every year we will be hearing tales of deduction and injection of suspicious items in our budget honestly it's a slap on our collective sense.

The great philosophers said that's "it's only a fool that keeps doing the same thing all over again and be expecting a different results" I rest my case

deleo16:
I have said this before we should hold all this legislatior accountable also not just the executive even LG chairman and Governors Buhari alone is not the problem,its when we start asking questions going to LG office and hold them ACCOUTABLE then change will come True restructuring comes when people start asking the right question from office holders

No way, GEJ must be hold accountable

chriskosherbal:
Is not about passing or giving accent to estimated revenue/proposed expenditure in a particular year, every country does that. ...budget passing/accent have been in place for donkey years yet we are still were we are .


Is about its positive impact on the lives of the citizenry that counts in terms of basic fundamentals that they should be enjoying cos it's thier right .

These are the questions that should be looked into :

How far with the use of previous years Budget?

how impactful was it in the lives of the ordinary Nigerians?

Did it raise thier standard of living ?

How has the monetary policies and fiscal policies of these past years brought about economy growth & development.

Were the citizens worse off or better off after these years? And many more.

Hmmm we have a long way to go ..

It's all about a circular movement

… but’ll sign tomorrow

By Soni Daniel, Northern Region Editor

There were indications, last night, that President Muhammadu Buhari was unhappy with 2018 budget finally passed by National Assembly and transmitted to him to append his signature.

That misgiving, notwithstanding, the President will tomorrow sign the fiscal document into law to fulfil a legal requirement and avoid the recrimination of returning the bill to the NASS due to the many distortions done to the budget he presented to the lawmakers on November 7, 2017.

A top source, who is knowledgeable in the matter, told Vanguard in confidence that the President was irked by the huge amount of money injected into the budget by the lawmakers and diverted to other causes unintended by the Federal Government.

The source said apart from jerking up the budget from the initial N8.6 trillion proposed by Buhari to N9.12 trillion, the NASS, as usual, introduced new projects, which have nothing whatsoever to do with the federal budget and funding.

The source said while the Presidency wanted the increment in the budget to be used for funding deficit, the NASS insisted it must be allocated to ‘projects’ decided by them.

The source said: “One discernible pattern seen in the document to be signed by the President is the unwarranted introduction of local government and state projects into the national budget by the lawmakers. That means that the level of ‘padding’ this year may be higher than the previous years.

“When the breakdown of the budget is unveiled, it will be clear to Nigerians that the ‘purchase of tricycles, sewing machines and sinking of boreholes’ programmes in the concurrent and residual lists, was given more attention than key national projects and programmes by NASS.

“But the President is not going to return the budget to the NASS so as to prevent further delay and stifling of the economy given the fact that the year is almost gone.”
The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, is expected to give a breakdown of the national budget on Thursday after being signed into law by Buhari tomorrow.

It will be recalled that the ‘padding’ of the 2016 and 2017 budgets led to a prolonged delay in the signing of the documents by the president and caused serious conflicts among members of the NASS, which led to the suspension of the House of Representatives member, Mumuni Jibrin, for 180 days.

His suspension was later declared illegal by a judge, who ordered that Jibrin be paid his salaries and entitlements for the period of his illegal suspension, as the NASS has no right to suspend any member beyond 14 days.

This is exactly what is obtainable when a president of a country is perceived not to have a knack & the intelligence to oversee the affairs of the country he took alligiance to lead and also seen to have persons with questionable and dubious characters as appointees . President Buhari might be a man of integrity like his predecessor but every effort been made by him to get things done clean will always be be met with much resistance from the rogue National Assembly members and that of his looting minded members of his cabinet .. Less we forget the man is sick hasn't the mentally capacity and the energy to checkmate these rogues in the red and gree chambers hence the need to vote him out and look for a more energized, focused, detribalized and intelligent person to lead us . That is why I root for Adewunmi Adeshina and Peter Obi's tag team .. May God lead us out of this darkness

When you run a snail-like system of government you can't get nothing short of that.

I couldn't help laughing as you described the current state of affairs. Hilarious

My question to you is did the last budget he signed reduce the hunger?

ashjay001:



He hasn't signed it n d populace are hungry! The populace, already place all d blame of d hunger on him!

NASS is the only problem of our country today.

bubu2019:
make we skip this year budget and plan for next year.where in the whole world are they still talking about budget by June ending.

Do you really know the number of FG contractors and businessmen waiting for this budget to be passed?

VULCAN:

Officially, d last budget he signed, supposedly, pushed us out of a recession.


The truth is, I grew up, never having enough n everyone around me, never had enough! Poverty, has been part of our fabric, since before n PMB n will likely remain so!

Even, our looting politicians, live in poverty n are surrounded by poverty.
