The word change has been ABUSED uncontrollably.

This whole budget is a SCAM, the contents of an ideal budget should be the investment proposal of Infrastructural development funding but Nigerian budget contains shopping list for politicians to fund their lavish lifestyle. Buhari was supposed to scrutinize this budget but rather he passed it on for approval, who is fooling who.

This "BUDGET OF CHANGE LIST" should be tagged "SHOPPING LIST FOR NIGERIAN POLITICIANS" as it clearly represents list of requirements of Nigerian politicians and not a true representation of economic infrastructure for the common man.

That's what you get when you vote in a man with out a degree... As in "Him no go school at all". Some will still defend this!

These are the ministers buhari kept nigerians 6month waiting before he could nominate.Ineptitude.

Also in the history of Nigeria no ministry or any pem sec stating categorically that they never ask for such figures in the budget and denying infront of the whole world and they are lot of complication in the almighty PMB budget.

Lack of technical know how....

Lalasticlala is the hardest working mod by a mile, dude works 24hrs, wow.

Have falana and Festus keyamo criticize that #budgetofcorruption?These are lawyers who claim to be human rights hacktivists by attacking previous government left,right and center.

aljharem:
Sahara reporters is just pretending to appear neutral or maybe tinubu and buhari are not in good terms.

one of the two is the reason for this article

None of the above

Truth is Buhari's trash budget is one temptation no journalist can resisit

adajiboyy:
Some zombies that have been hipnotized by the sai baba chant,nd charmed by the the change symdrome,would still not see valid and good reason wit wat SR said.this government is not only clueless its useless.I wonder the place buhari got his juju from that some people would still be defending him even wen they no he is not getting it rite.we rite thinking nigerians second wit SAHARA REPORTERS.

Those fools know that Buhari is messing up; they are just trying to save face. They don't want people to start telling them "I told you".

They called ex president GEJ with a PhD clueless man. Idiots wanted change and voted an illiterate without a WAEC certificate una never see anything.

To be factual, the 2016 budget is not embarrassing BECAUSE it is new in content. It is actually embarrassing because it contains a lot of the Old budget and CHIEFLY because it is the most open to public view and social media criticism and scrutiny in the history of Nigeria. Budget is usually prepared reflecting the previous, and in that they made not many errors. Where the mistake is lies in the poor perception of public expectation and backlash, and in the ridiculous ways in which the noisemakers(ministers) have denied the budget.

Forget. That budget was a disgrace. Investment has been halted Again. Naira keep failing every single day. Investment decisions cannot be made because of all this mess.

The budget is indeed an embarrassment to put it mildly. Of all the blunders so far, none is as demoralising as this mindless budget with so many irrational listing at this very difficult time in the financial life of our country. This is not at all the change we campaigned and voted for.

There is no new thing or big deal in the "embarrassing sections of the budget. Anyone who is learned and knows little about budgetting knows that in traditional incremental budgeting, departmental managers justify only variances versus past years based on the assumption that the "baseline" is automatically approved. A great percentage of the ridiculous allocations have always appeared there in the past budgets of other years and approved without noise. In fact, some of those allocations were reduced in this 2016 budget, which is then expected to be implemented using the touted zero-based budget model.

TippyTop:

They are, but the monumental corruption in the 2016 Budget can't be overlooked.
Even Tinubu's newspaper TheNation criticised it.

N53,693,149,00 appeared in Ministry of Education's budget 52 times.

word on th street is that...Tinunbu and buhari(fashola, obasanjo) are not in good terms...you do know that buhari change am for tinubu..

The budget is a disgrace because of the relative transparency of the present government. the contents are better in reality when compared with past budgets. The naira is falling due to market sentiments and policies from the CBN, not because of the budget. The NASS should have passed the budget this month instead of further wasting time, so that implementation can start which would reflect in the economy and give it a lift. The NASS are just drama queens, they will still approve the budget of course with some adjustments as is dome yearly, but nothing major or surprising. We all know this, yet we commend them and encourage them to play to the gallery. Budget/appropriation bill is nothing, it's less than 10%. The real work is implementation and the so called zero based budgetting model they hope to employ, which is more strenous, time consuming and could end up as a bottle neck.

This is not the most embarrassing budget in Nigeria's history. It is nothing compared to the one's presented in the era of IBB, Abacha and OBJ. They put up ridiculous figures and no one could say a damn thing in objection. (Anyone remembers how many times the refineries have been fixed and re fixed since the 80's?) SR is just looking for traffic. Not saying this budget is a not a disgrace, but we still need to refer to and understand our history. We don't and that's why the same crap keeps on happening.
