because you don't understand how budget works. They increased recurrent expenditure -chop mony-to 70% and 60% of that will be borrowed. It's like borrowing money from your neighbor to throw a party.

Erm this year's budget has the highest capital expenditure ever in the history of the country.

gohome:
So what's your point?

Its hypocritical suggesting the government spends massive amount of money on capital project when you(PDP) was initially against the proposed budget.

truthspeaks:
How are we sure they ddnt beg him to come back to save Buhari n ApC a lifetime of embarrassment

Yeah right...Mark just travels when he feels like, no planning, no agenda ........

Bad news for those who claimed he didn't visit Abuja because of age.

When the present government proposed the budget of N6 trillion, this same PDP complained and said the budget should be reduced to less than N4 trillion.

cstr15:
And this is Supposed to be an excuse for a so-called minister of finance who is supposed to be abreast of relevant numbers? A woman who has formed the habit of making some unforgivable arithmetical errors, not once or twice.
Nobody is looking for fault here. We are just trying to see reasons why the economy is failing. And given the quality of the people in charge like adeosun, it is not hard to see why.

1) You cannot prove which number is correct unless you see the memo that authorises payment.
2) If you are still looking for reasons why the economy is failing, you have no right to question the finance minister.

PapaBaby:
Did I ask her to fail simple math?

You should have listened to your English teacher.

OMAR12:
uhmm it up there compare the the second screen shot nah, she said previously it was 165b per month on work, BT now the save 6b, 165-6 = 159, which was watch she was suppose to have stated on the first screen shot BT she said 156 on the first screenshot.

She never said what was in the first screen, the first screen says "in the 2015 budget"

FYI information, she didn't prepare the 2015 budget

papaejima1:
In the budget it is 156billion per month but she turned it the other way round to 165b.
For those who don't get it see below.

In the 2015 budget prepared by someone else....


I highly suggest you guys spend more time reading that fault finding.

Can someone please point out the mistake because I can't find it.

The only part of the "essay" that caught my eye is

"Our mutual friend Nasir El Rufai".

FFK has no problem having northerners as friends but comes online leading people astray.

TheFreeOne:
When will this dude realize ondo state is not Lagos where he rides roughshod and impose candidates at will

This epistle is of no use if the people are not allowed to choose their own candidate.

It is not in our blood to accept impositions cos we choose our leaders and fire them when necessary. We aren't subservient to whims and caprices of godfathers.

How can one impose a candidate when there's going to be a primaries?

ukemeramat:
so if their fellow polithieficians dont complain, they wont fix it. what of the poor masses has been complaining since 1999?

Actually, this is why we have reps and senators. There is no way a minister in Abuja can know about all the roads in the country, there's also no way he can read the text of every citizen, that's why our reps/senators are supposed to be doing. Stay in your constituency and every time you go to Abuja, you go with the complaints of your people.

Its also another reason why we need true Federalism, makes no sense for someone in Abuja to be responsible for a road in Asaba.

TonyeBarcanista:
This is very impressive of Lagos representatives.


It is a shame that the Niger Delta has been producing and reproducing self serving men and women that only pay lip service to the development of the region since time immemorial. Way to go Lagos, I hope my people learn

This is the reason i laugh when Ignoramus come online and say the problem of the SS and SE is the Hausa-Fulani/ Yoruba people. Nobody can love you more than you love yourself, and until we stop electing criminals and revering war lords, the Niger Delta would not improve.

Nyceguy92:
An arrangement where a mother-in-law is living with her son-in-law is not common.


I don't see how she will interfere in sexual matters; it's between you and your wife in the bedroom.

Why limit it to the bedroom? Don't tell me you'd have all that space in the house and limit the action to just one corner of the pitch.

lexyclasy:
And you think it is only in Lagos state that has continuity since the inception of democracy in 1999.....Go and check record before you swerve

Can you point out were in my statement i said its only Lagos that has continuity?
Every man and his dog knows Delta State doesn't lack continuity.

PETRUCE:
50k MW ?

Chisos

50000MW better

? ? ? ? ?

It looks like the problem is with the drainage not the road itself.

aresa:
Almost eradicating and Eradicated are 2 different things...


Power supply is stabilizing as we speak

We have 14 new solar power plant coming up

4,000MW Mambilla power plant is coming up

IPPs are going up in Kano, Kaduna and so on

Dangote Gas plant means more than enough Gas for our gas starved power plants

Dangote power plant is set to generate whooping 12,000MW less than 2 years from now


6,000 installed capacity

1,275MW solar

4,000MW Mambilla

12,000MW Dangote

= 25,000MW

We will have steady power supply in less than 4 years..

Yes, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.


This has nothing to with APC or any political party, this is reality...

10000MW installed capacity
Mambilla is at least four years away.

No Nigeria won't have 24 hrs in the next four years. Some states would have though but not the whole country.

What Nigeria lacks, is what Lagos has: Continuity.
That's the reason why for the foreseeable future, every governor in Lagos would look excellent.

aresa:
We've almost eradicated our electricity problems in less than 2 years, something the looting and stealing 16 years of PDP couldn't do...


Sai Nigeria

Sai PMB..

I know you support the APC but almost eradicating our power problems? Seriously?
As a country, we need to be generating at least 50k MW and we have not even gotten to 10MW.

We are moving forward but we are not even close. Easy with the exaggeration.

Tiny23:
Read my post again, *almost*

What does dat word mean to you?

I saw the word "almost", I still need to see the data. Using the word almost doesn't negate the fact that you need to provide data.

Tiny23:
Which data?

The data were you arrived at the conclusion that 90% percent of what people studied in school is useless.

Tiny23:
Very true, 90% of what we learn at school are *almost* useless in real life.

Mind sharing the source of your data?

CoCoLav:
Lol...how can that be true?

Why can't it be true?

CoCoLav:
Which phone does this?

My phone.

TippyTop:
Please tell us Kwankwaso's crime? Why is APC suddenly against kwankwasiya?

I don't know Kwankwaso's crime but as for Kwankwasiya, read boko haram 2.0.

TippyTop:
Osokomale is on point yet again. If they can do this to one of their own, what would they do to their opponent?
Kwakwanso's only crime is he harbours an ambition to be President of Nigeria.

Your story has changed again?
It used to be
-Its because "X" is not a northerner, then it became "its because X is in PDP and not the APC", now its because he harbours ambition to be president?

What would the next story be?

PS: Atiku and Sule Lamido also harbour Presidential ambitions.

yaki84:
is ur family members part of the numerous illiterates?

Nah.. We all went to school, acquired sound education and mostly importantly, we know how to use the knowledge we acquired.

Ajibel:
I don't know that people can be educated and still sound like an illiterate because some of those that I have seen oppose the bill look and sound educated.

I can bet most of them have never read the bill or they don't have an idea.




PS: you should try flask, way better then Django

Hiploko:
how did the past governments do theirs? Or is the law recent? No end to the excuses! Smh

Your ignorance is beyond redemption, I can't help you.

Ajibel:
My problem is this. Is it that people don't understand what the FG is proposing with the bill?

Again, this bill is in draft and is being worked on by the vice president who is the leader of the economic team and not the president, so why all this mindless attacks on the person of the president?

I think most of those against the contents of the bill are simply against it either because they didnt read it or they read but didnt understand what they read.

I say this because those opposing the bill havent raised a point from the bill and give reasons as to why they disagree. All they've been saying has been about Buhari's past and all other BS.

The problem with Nigeria is not the government, it's the illiterates who are just too much for one nation.

NextGovernor:
State Governors are working and were delivery some of there promise in less than 1 year what stops Federal Government from doing same?

When they were promising to kick the ground running they never understood how things work or what? They are trying to create another scene after there failure to heep the blames on Senators...

This government is just gambling and doing try and error with 160 millions citizens.

I have tried to make sense of your post but I can't.

State governments? Seriously?
