This budget shows that Mrs. Ngozi is not the saviour Nigeria is looking for. |

shymmex: This budget shows that Mrs. Ngozi is not the saviour Nigeria is looking for. Before you go hounding down on Ngozi, why don't you take a look at the one she submitted to the President, which was submitted to NASS for review and approval? Everyone blames the woman for everything, she has done the best, she proposed about 28% for Capital Expense, but NASS preferred to reduce it by 10%, so now, it's her fault? You blame her rather than blame your NASS member who approved the budget? SMH, God will surely deliver this woman from the hands of evil, everything that revolves around Nigeria (mostly bad) is heaped on her. |

manny4life: She's part of the problem. If she can't stamp her authority on the government - she needs to resign. |

shymmex: Her authority on who? The president who is her boss OR the lawmakers? If at all anyone is to flex their executive power, it's supposed to be the president who goes head-on with the Lawmakers and NOT the Budget Director nor the Finance Minister. They can lobby behind closed doors, but their jurisdiction ends there. It's like in the U.S. when Pres. Obama had a budget standoff with Congress, Govt was at the verge of shutting down before Democrats yielded to just a minute portion of the budget. Who's to blame on that? I guess it was Tim Geithner or the Congressional Budget Committee Director that's to blame. They've done their job, they've lobbied, testified before Congress, their job ends there. If at all, Americans were calling their Reps and Senators, holding them accountable should the U.S. not pass it budget that Friday night. |

manny4life: Stop being disingenuous by comparing our house of assembly - to the US congress. PDP clearly are the majority in the Nigerian house of assembly - and Mrs. Ngozi being our de-facto PM - should be able to flex her muscle, if she's sincere. If the same government could cut the oil subsidy with the support of the house of assembly, what makes you think they can't achieve the same with the budget - if they're being sincere? Stop defending the indefensible - they're all corrupt, and they don't care about the Nigerian masses. |

shymmex: So was Obama's party, they controlled the Senate, and btw, I wasn't comparing, I was only giving an instance of what happened. Anyway, how do you expect her to flex her muscle? Constitutionally, does she have authority over the legislature? Her boss don't even, let alone her? Are you serious? I don't get it when you say "flex her muscle", like seriously, how do you mean? If you read her interview three days ago, the governors jointly supported the removal of oil subsidy, though there might have been support from the house, never did she at anytime acknowledge that there was support from the house. Did you forget so quickly how the house reacted when they heard subsidy has been removed? Most of them vowed to bring it back, did the exec govt get massive support from the house, YET, they acted like it was news to them? In addition to that, did you forget how she said she was in the U.S. at the time of the removal and was surprised to learn that it was removed, meanwhile, she acknowledge that at the FEC meeting, the removal was agreed upon in April. Also, if you read her interview three days ago, she did admit that the government did not explain itself and did not wait long enough before removing the subsidy in January... Like what else you want her to do? I don't think this is about subsidy but about the budget. If they had support from the house, don't you think that they will have willy nilly have approved it? After all, they're birds of same feathers? Come on, there won't much flexing of muscle, but because there was no support from the NASS, her budget was reversed though I strongly believe that she lobbied for something more with regards to capital expense. I am not defending anyone, I'm only saying let's accuse whom we need to accuse. The woman might not be a saint, she has made numerous mistakes and already has fallen out with the Nigerian people, but please, same way you give credit to whom its due, attribute blames to whom it's due... I just think it's only fair and just. |

N750k basic annual salary for a whole professor, while some illiterate senators pocket N15 million over a comparative period (and that's the one we know of). Any wonder, then, that Nigeria remains underdeveloped? |
