Racoon:
Of course no sane person needs a soothsayer to know that the executive, legislature and judiciary have all sworn that this nation will ever make progress. Bastard criminals!

dettolgel:
Some halfwits are here arguing about insertion of additional line of items in the budget while the real issues is that these additions are nothing but a conduit to embezzle public funds.

When will Nigerians learn to tackle real issues and not get caught up in sentiments.

I have the educational system to blame.

Angelfrost:


Not necessarily the educational system...

It's the rotten fabric of morality in the nation.

Many of us have mastered the art of calling black, white just to cover up for those we supported into office.

Imagine renaming corrupt practices?!! That's the new trend among APC supporters.

Racoon:
Chai! May Nigeria be delivered from your kind who is just blind because of partisan politics.

Angelfrost:
Only a naive and dumb Nigerian will be shocked by all these.

Senators have been padding budgets for years now... Even before APC.


That's why they always eagerly look forward to Budget season.

It's just because someone had the Indiscretion to blow the whistle that everyone is shouting... Wetin don dey happen for years now.


The 3 arms of government in Nigeria are the most corrupt in the universe! No jokes.

HRMK:
this same ningi has bn a senator for 17yrs!
this isnt the first time allegation of budget padding would crop up!
it all started with obasanjo!was there any time this ningi blew whistle on such an action?NO!he cried out because he blvd he was shortchanged!
if he had collected the same constituency votes like others,nobody would have heard a single word from him!!

A review of the budget proposed by President Tinubu and the one eventually passed by the National Assembly show that the allegations of budget padding by Abdul Ningi are largely true.

Dont blame the educational system. We all had that fvcked up education but some of us who know these sinators are corrupt, came from the same education

Princedapace:


N$gerians are born cr#minals. Give this country to China or US or German to handle our politics and public services and watch as Nigeria becomes the richest country on earth becus the resources here dey choke.

Skoonheid:
The party of swindlers and thieves put forward its chief swindler and its chief thief for the presidency.

Wickedness is the nature of Nigerian, who spite the little thief but give great respect to the big thief

A country of thieves

ivolt:
Again, there is nothing like budget padding.
The senators are just doing their jobs!

It is a huge shame on our country when even journalists don't know the functions of the legislative arm.

It is one thing to oppose certain changes in the budget, it is another to think
it is a crime for senators to alter budgetary provisions.

membranus:


Ningi has suddenly become the saint, after spending 17 years in the senate collecting the same largesse. What an hypocrite!

MySolace:

Talk wit sense plz!

Nobody is questioning dia right to make or amend d budget. The bone of contention is, some of d projects are vague, doesnt have location. The ones wit location, d allocation seem surplus.

ivolt:

Then why the constant use of "budget padding" phrase?

What I expect educated fellows to discuss is the specific issues/budgetary provisions they consider problematic
and not the asinine noise about padding.
