Collective wealth? Na your papa land reach south south.. It's our land, if we like we will blow up everything. When South west used all their cocoa money to develop their region, did we interfere? They should use "Odi treatment"? Really? How can you even say something as mean as that?

I have watched and read in amusement APC supporters celebrating the signing of the 2016 budget as an achievement of the present administration. It started like a joke but because it has become a swan song for them, it has become necessary to address the issue.

First, what is a budget? A budget is a simple planning document for an organisation or entity. In this case, that organisation or entity is a country, Nigeria. A budget in a statement of intent. It isnt a project that you can eulogise or celebrate. Secondly, implementing a budget is a function of several factors. That is why in many cases, you hardly get a 100% implementation of the budget. In this particular case, having signed the budget into law in May, it is totally impossible to get a 100% implementation. So we have started on a very wrong foot. The whole process of preparing the budget has been one big joke. A complete show of incompetence by the government of the day.

What really calls for concern is the fact that the budget has been passed with the fraud inside intact. The budget was filled with fraudulent items when it was first exposed and any one observing the process would have expected the fraudulent items expunged and the balance returned as the real budget. But from the final figure released, the fraudulent items have not been expunged. They have either been renamed, reshuffled or their figures injected into other projects. This leaves us with a really corrupt budget on our hands.

So it should give us a cause for concern that some folks have gone to town to celebrate the sigining of the budget, not even the implementation, as some achievement. The only story that tells us, is one of desperation and clutching at straws. It seems the situation is so bad that the supporters of this administration are willing to clutch at anything to get some relief. Or maybe it is just another one of the distractions being thrown around to derail from the critical issues we all face at the moment.

The critical issues at the moment include,

1. Terrible Inflation
2. Total National Blackout
3. Lingering Fuel Scarcity
4. Rising insecurity
5. Rising unemployment
6. Nepotism
7. The Worthlessness of the Naira

The question to ask is will the signing of the budget fix any of these listed issues? Answer is not at all.

Venezuella economy is currently in the toilet. Did they not have a budget? Yes they did! So why did the signing of their budget not change their economy? Because signing a budget does not change an economy. Good polices and good implementation is what will change an economy. The policies that are in place before Buhari signed the budget are the same policies in place after he has signed the budget. So how is the economy going to change?

Take the Naira crash for example. The problem exists because of bad policy from the CBN. Is the budget signing going to change that? Not at all. Another example is the lingering fuel scarcity. Is the budget signing going to fix that? Not a chance.

It is even ridiculous to paint a picture that the government cannot provide good governance until it has signed a budget into law. Did Buhari need to sign a budget before travelling around the world? Did they sign a budget before they gave out bail out funds to the states? The only message this sends is that the government does not know what they are doing so they try to distract everyone with false hope. It seems like they are still in campaign mode. But the elections are long over. They should get to work and provide good governance instead of engaging in hype and rethoric

Signing of a budget is neither a milestone nor an achievement that a serious government should celebrate. It is sad to see that we have come this low in the last one year. where we now have to throw a party when the president signs a budget. Just too low!

Every time a Crude Flow Station is Destroyed by Militants in the Niger Delta, The Environment is Damaged; Our Land is Polluted and Our Communities are subjected to more hardships...
Let the Bombing Continue, who will lose?

The Government of PMB is dragging the Nigerian Economy away from Crude Oil; Lagos State has Joined the League of Oil Producing States and the Northern Part of Nigeria whose Reserves have been cynically suppressed over the years will begin production within the next months to two years. With time, We from the Niger Delta would have destroyed our Lands so much that future generation will curse us their Fathers and Mothers for killing their dreams. Let the Stupidity Continue my People...Don't stop the blowing up of pipelines.


Everyone of us thinks that a Blown Pipeline is an attack on PMB and His Government of Change...Insanity on display I must say. Kano and Lagos are Leading the way in Tomatoes Paste Production and Tomatoes don dey scarce shebi? The Northern Landmass alone is about 4 times the entire Landmass of the SS and the SE; Agriculture will revolutionize the North within the next decade...We from the Niger Delta will use our Oil to soak Garri and we think we are punishing Nigeria? Think Again, but Kontinu.
I have been reliably informed, that the More Pipeline we blow-up, the more the Resolve of this President to get the Nigerian Economy off oil...The More the Presidency blocks loopholes; The More the desire for alternative Revenue; The More the Nigerian People get pissed off by our Stupidity. The Future is Lost to the Greedy, Selfish Demons of Today. Blow Pipelines if you can, Nigeria is moving on. We have a President who is capable of making the hard decisions and willing to firmly sustain those hard choices. Blow Pipelines abeg. Let Nigeria Suffer and Let our land be wasted. Kontinu killing your own future by your own hands.
WEEP NOT FOR THE NIGER DELTA!!!
OUR ENEMIES ARE WITHIN!!!

I know you are looking for a Ladder to climb into Aso Rock come 2019, but beware of APC Ladders, many of them are too “Rusty and Rickety” for You to Use. People such as those listed below are better left in the Dust Bin.
1 Rotimi Amaechi
2 El Rufai
3 Bukola Saraki
4 Bola Tinubu
Etc.

kcnwaigbo:
That is exactly why NDA are doing what they like so why are you complaining!!Buhari can deploy the entire navy,the attacks would even get worse unless he negotiates with them.Obasanjo is still alive,he should go and take lessons from him

Rose2014:


But some are classified into 97% and some 5%

I like the word 'collective' when it comes to oil

kcnwaigbo:

Thank God he's in Daura now

DropShot:
The fact remains that the security personnel will arrest anyone who foments trouble as long as they are within reach.

The herdsmen commit atrocities then escape; no one to arrest. The people who decide to attack them as a form of reprisal attack don't always get to escape and as such can be easily arrested.So, who loses?

The state govts also must up their games in providing security for their citizens. What happens to establishing numerous, responsible security outfits in the mold of Bakassi Boys, OPC, etc to curb the excesses of these criminals before the FG finds a permanent solution?

First picture looks like buhari after attending to his cattle under the scorching sun.The man was even talking about change in his last sentence.Moral of the story: Don't trust those that are given to change,they are like the Egyptians of old,from afar they look like a strong tree with full branches to give you shade but when you come closer,the bark is covered with sharp thorns.

eyeview:
This is a govt that will ban the importation of food but commence the importation of grass for cows.
Dear God,how did we get this kind of president?

Bassee:
It's been 1 year na!!! Una no dey tire for propaganda!!!! Dieazani stole $100trillion, Jonathan took $50 trillion, Orubebe took $25 trillion and David Mark hid $75 trillion in his wardrobe. We've recovered all the money but we're still borrowing to fund our budget of yams. You know what's funny in all these, Abacha never stole!!!
