he Lobbying will now start full fledge; - call in debts and favours from loyal Senate members - Hoodwink the 'undecided' ones to get their consent; subtle bribery (cash, position, EFCC mercy etc) - Browbeat the determined resistances with EFCC investigations etc - Do all of the above till you get the required majority consent vote Then present the 'Senate consent' based on diplomatic, win-win, face-save channel; after an in-dept review of the presented facts, the Senate sees the loan as necessary. Please do tell; - Why did the Presidency fail/refuse to included 'all the needed documents and materials for the loan approval' when they sent the proposal for consideration. - Who was/is taking who for granted. - What is the requirement for such consideration and probable approval in normal circumstance |

ehissi:You seem to be forgetting very quickly and diverting away from our discussion. I did not justtify or defend the presentation of a loan proposal without evidence; so stop trying to act all smart and sanctimonious by explaining what i already know to me. Our discussion was simply on the value of recovered loot, go back and read my comment again. You claimed the govt already had N3.6trn but still wanted to borrow; I simply pointed out that the N3.6trn is still under litigation and cant be touched by govt. I also corrected the figures you quoted on the 2016 budget 79% implementation. Thirdly, you asked why the government needed $30bn to fund budget when 2016 was already finished, i simply pointed out to you that the proposed loan is for 2016-2018. Try and be focused on our discussion. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lilimax:This Admin didn't fail anyone one, ignorance is what is tormenting you guys. Do you start a business with zero capital and debt. How is the govt suppose to make more money if it doesn't do IGR boosting project with funds in the first place. The govt isn't there to inject fund into the system directly. It is there to give you and I a smooth and fair ride through societal reforms and building. 1 Like |

No matter what, let them not approve that loan. What is the leadership of this country turning into? Must we be slaves to other states and non state actors to be able to develop? Can't we develop locally? What is all this. Senate if truely you represent us (the ruled), do not approve that loan. |

tiwiex:A loan is the only way out of the current recession and hunger, there are no two ways about it, except a miracle happens and oil prices jump back above $100, but we all know that ain't going to happen. The tragedy of nigeria is that at a certain point when oil sold above $100 and there was excess forex, instead of saving, the little reserves we had were eroded and upon the mega forex income at the time from high oil prices, the govt then was still borrowing massively. The irony of this all is that 'majority' of those opposed to borrowing today were in 100% support of the last government's careless borrowing and spending and they wanted to perpetuate that govt. But today when borrowing has become a necessity for survival, these same set of people have all grown wise patriotic. Don't get me wrong, I am not comfortable with the massive level of borrowing being proposed, but i just had to point out that irony. Finally you said there wasnt any plan to maintain or increase revenue?... FYI, you need money to make money, the little details released on the breakdown of the proposed funds show that a 3050mw power plant is to be built, gigh speed rail lines connecting the nation are to be built; some education, health and agricultural intervention funds were also included in the details. If these things listed above are not considered by you as projects that can improve revenue and the economy, then I wonder what alternative suggestions you have. |

Sibrah:its you who is not reasoning properly because fg claimed they recovered loots. Not seized or investigating so where does your "clearing" grammar come from? People whose "loots" are being contested in the courts are public knowledge. So is your "clearing" word from FG? If the fg used that word please show us where. While you are it you should also tell us if they also clearing TSA, Abacha loot etc because that could be d only reason why they arr planning what they are planning. |

You whey sabi budget and budgetary process explain to us, that have never had the pleasure of an academic education. Somebody will bring fragments - only proposed infrastructural projects that hasn't even been debated/reviewed/approved - of a budget (2018) not in debate or in review before the National assembly and want to use it as a basis for the biggest loan the country has ever sought in the history of its existence - the loan is even bigger than our foreign reserves - and for you whey go "school" e make sense. Please, take me to the cleaners on this. Shebi, you will first draft budget, Present it for approval - of which both the means of achieving the capital to sponsor such a budget will be discussed along the way whether through duties/taxes, project revenue or the instrument of debt. Instead, we have a President who instructed that approval be sought for a massive loan for only infrastructural projects in a budget (2018 budget) that is not even before the Senate for review not to talk of approval............................

Most annoying is that even when someone tries to explain simple things to you, you instantly repel the explanation even before you read it simply because you prefer it being abracadabra.

Sibrah: Bro you seem to be trying so hard to defend this government, abi you be government official? but the truth is you can fool somepeople but you cannot fool everybody. The Federal Government told Nigerians "They have recovered some loots and even went ahead to publish the figures on national dailies"...They did NOT tell us the loots has to be cleared in court, if that is the case then why publish an uncertain and inconclusive list. So, please stop twisting words...some Nigerians are actually intelligent to detect a lie when they see one with exception to some mentally blind lots. |
Re: Presidency Reacts To Senate’s Rejection Of Buhari’s Plan To Borrow $30bn by KingOfAmebo(m): 5:35pm On Nov 02, 2016 |
Sibrah: Have you bordered to asked were Buhari got the money he used in touring the world in his first 3 months in office? Please explain to us were your zero capital came from...were did Buhari government get the money he was spending immediately he won the election? From your posts it is evident you are the one displaying your ignorance in public. This is just stating the obvious. My advice is don't try too hard to defend the government... doing so will make you sound ignorant. It is evident and clear for the world to see that the federal government policies are not working, they will come out with a policy today and come back the next day to counter same policy (there are numerous examples of such policies)...this is a trial and error government, this shouldn't be hard for you to see. |

It is proper for the presidency to provide detailed plan for the amount to be borrowed. it is the proper thing. People can borrow for various reasons and we need to know if our future is to be mortgaged with the borrowing or for prosperity. |

Sibrah: Don't mind the olodo!! People who are clearly unfit to pass a course in Economics will stick their mouth in National discourse, disgracing Nigeria and Nigerians before the world, is that how to behave? I am not against any r@tarded fellow but the person should be nice to keep his lunacy under wraps, don't bring it to the public for God's sake. From his decrepit analysis, it is clear the young man has no clue what budget means, he thinks it is money in the bank, tell me, who reasons like that? The national budget is not money deposited in the CBN waiting to be disbursed, it is an expenditure plan of money yet to be made within a fiscal year. Using the 2016 budget as a reference point, it is proposed with a 2.2T deficit, which the government could finance with either Asset sales (comes with its own peculiar challenges) or Borrowing from external sources. The rest of the budget is hinged on a volatile commodity at 2.1mbopd @ $30/b, what it means is that any day we do not produce 2.1mbopd, our deficit widens, any day we sell below $30/barrel, our deficit widens. You will agree that since Feb 2016 when the bombing started, we are nowhere close to our budgetary benchmark. Perhaps the finance ministry has put ink to paper and arrived at a cumulative deficit gap over time, that figure will be added to the default 2.2t, in the event we want to source for external funding, also the issue of devaluation will erode budgetary predictions. Only a mad man will think that deficit will remain at 2.2T when our production is on constant decline. 3 Likes 1 Share |

bikefab:Is he tarring or building bridges or railway to his house? Is it not you and I that would eventually use the infrastructure? Infrastructural development builds a Nations economy, a booming economy would repay any loans accrued, Obasanjo was able to repay back our loans in a single tenure because the economy was partially great at that time.. Borrowing or taking loans is no sin if it is wisely invested. Buhari can be trusted in judicious use of these loans. Because we are wailers and hate PMB doesnt mean we should resist any idea that he makes even when we are the eventual beneficiaries at the end. |

While I agree that oil aint gonna see $100 anytime soon, I disagree that borrowing is the only way out. You can attract FDI if there is a peaceful environment, I believe that is the crazy investment we are making in the military now. Most of our JV's are liabilities not assets, disposing them is an alternative, I hope you are aware that most of our JV partners have disposed theirs so the wisdom to retain ours makes no sense.
