All budgets in this country from Federal Level down to the local government level are jokes. I had the opportunity to work with a few MDAs in the preparation of their Zero-Based budgets. While the initiative was a good one in theory, the MDAs were just not ready to embrace it and kept on in their old ways even after numerous corrections. Imagine an office putting the unit cost of diesel at 204 naira per litre and when i flagged this, they said "leave it like that, that is the contract price". Two years ago, i worked on a project analyzing the budgets of the 774 LGAs and 80% of them were terrible! Most were replications of the previous year, some used pens to mark-up the previous year's budget and presented as the current year. The summations were wrong. Recurrent and Capital didn't add up correctly and in most cases, the breakdown of the capital and recurrent didn't tally with the total on the budget summary.
I think the fault lies with the budget office; the time frame between when the MDAs submitted their budgets and the presentation of the budget to the National Assembly was way to short to allow the Budget office scrutinize the budgets.

After there go they blame Nigeria students say their they copy their final year project work!

When someone copies a clueless person, what will he be called then?

Cluelessly clueless.

GEJ is still in power because GMB blames him for his failures. Now he has copied his budget. He couldn't even copy it well and it went missing.

Dear Soludo,

With due respect, what is wrong with that?
Why is it a crime?

Whatever happens to continuity in government.

The most important thing is its implementation.

And you wasted your entire life canvassing and voting for a change? I don't need anyone to tell me something is wrong with your brain. Wasted school fees.

Chai, una don give wailers food to Chop........

SOLUDO IS SAYING THIS BECAUSE BUHARI IS GIVING HIM THE ATTENTION HE WANTED.
IS THIS NOT THE SAME BUDGET THAT PDP SAID IS A PROPAGANDA AND UNREALISTIC, HOW COME IS NOW JONATHAN BUDGET. BETTER STILL, IS PDP ELEMENT TELLING US THAT JONATHAN WAS PLANNING TO GIVE US UNREALISTIC BUDGET. BEFORE YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH, THINK OF WHAT YOUR CRONIES SAID EARLIER TO AVOID CONTRADICTING YOURSELVES.

MisterGrace:


Look, I don't have time for tantrums this morning...
I've got important things to attend to.

The most important thing is its implementation. Besides, have you taken out time to think
and come up with the reasons why it had to be that way? How much is the exchange of dollars to naira then
and now?

you are getting it wrong, Nigeria is not experiencing the physical development that touch people because of economic policies.

we spend too much on recurrent and invest very little. That is Soludo's argument.
To make it worst, we borrow money to run the country, where do you intend to raise money and pay back, instead they are talking of increasing vat, taxes and improvishing the people.


That is why IMF came last week.

Soludo, you sure say you no be 'yam eater' or 'IPOB' youth?
I get it now, you are a Wailing Wailer

you dont have one single sense

ShowYourCertificate:
If Buhari didn't write and pass WASC Economics back in his school days how do you expect him to vet a national budget? Someone that cannot even vet his family budget (going by his inability to locate his land in PH). His certificatelessness confirms his dullardness and his inability to vet a budget confirms his cluelessness. So we are safe to say Buhari is a clueless dullard

You sit down there and call your/the president of Nigeria dullard! Instead of according him respect and strenght to take Nigeria forward! What do you expect foreigners to think of us my brother?
its like calling your father a fool and dullard

“The present budget is more of the same to the previous ones. Mr.
Vice President [Prof. Yemi Osinbajo], If you scale your budget on the
scale of GDP, it is almost the same with the previous government.
“It has a historic 37% deficit as we never had it before. The truth is
that you are borrowing 37% with only 30 per cent on capital
project,” Prof. Soludo stressed.


Nairalanders sef, if you no read well..you will think PMB did copy and paste..or photocopy

Soludo did some technical comparisons here before making his assertions..... and basically, what is more important to us as a citizen is full implementation of the said budget..only then we will enjoy the present administration.

God bless Nigeria

Thank God there is still hope for our dear nation with this your post.

Thanks for proving not all nlers are dullards

Geez, the idiots on this thread went for the heading whilst conveniently forgetting the devil in the details.

The budget is simply comparable since the % of recurrent expenditure is roughly the same simples.

Recurrent expenditure is the same but surely capital expenditure can't be the same especially with the simple fact the headline figure is different

brainless

warripekin:
And they said Oga jona is clueless. Yeye dey smell

Budget is just a PROPOSAL ON PAPER, to spend x, y, z, amount of money on behalf of Nigerians.

The problem lies in when you and your cronies decide to STEAL and LOOT the MONEY meant for the Budget, .....instead of implementing the budget.

This is where Oga Jona became clueless!

#Wailers need to "get sense"!

Soludo should please tell us something we dont already know!

Continuity could have been better with the automotive policy instead

bubu is a certified dullard naa

Dojupyo:
What do you expect
Some called our beloved ex President a clueless man, the one who copied his budget will be called what?

" Clueless-er" and " clueless-est'

Pidggin:
PMB has been copying GEJ's ideas and policies since he came into power. Why have they refused to give him credit for it? GEJ all the way!

but pdp has been criticizing same policies too, so in essence pdp and GEJ supporters have been eating up themselves by condemning their own policies and ideas, hope you get the drift.

but it was cool to abuse GEJ for 4years

A student who sleeps while others are reading will cheat when exams come, a President who goes on honeymoon when he should be busy with governance will copy his predecessor's mistake when time to prepare budget comes. Clueless President wasted seven month of a national life doing nothing and his mumu followers hail him that he needed time to correct the mistakes of the past; now he is blind-copying the exact 'mistakes'.

Same budget to address vastly different economic realities and policies...? What is this man saying,

Laffing in Chinese.This shows APC was never equipped for true leadership.

if you can instruct online,see my signature.

wetin the dullard know before, no be copy copy him be.

Ugonnax:

Mega-clueless.

Simply because the mega-clueless despite the benefit of hindsight, he cannot do any better.

Though the truth is rather simpler. The so-called clueless wasn't clueless at all.

APC needed sound bites for their propaganda.
They knew quite well that GEJ wasn't doing bad at all. After all in his time, we became Africa's biggest economy. Something that never happened before.

Funny dudes.... May be u want his budget to be similar wit dt of USA(obama)... Government is continuation, charsle of all shud knw dt

Daintelectual:
Copied the budget of the clueless president! When a person who has clues begin to learn from a clueless person then cluelessness becomes a currency!

love this lol
