Very 'informative' infographic

Okay so first off it isn't any wonder that the Ministries with the largest budgetary provisions are headed by the most 'controversial' ministers?

Having a 3rd of your budget financed by deficit is simply ludicrous and in the current socio-economic/political environment simply wishful thinking (Oil revenue has been massively eroded due to Bombings)

Oil revenue and Non-Oil revenue are almost equal (this simply assumes that we will make as much money from agric, and not much else as we make from oil..., Really?)

The sum of N529B for works, power and housing is grossly inadequate as there already is a funding deficit for most FG contracts so this is like throwing money into a bottomless pit - summary - we're going to be hearing many many more excuses)

Meanwhile why is the FCT getting a whole N37B (okay now I understand why Bala Muhammed's son allegedly has several supercars and properties) on a serious note it would make sense if Lagos, Kaduna and Portharcourt shared this sum as intended abinitio.


Den come oh! dis $30B wey PMB wan collect by force, d servicing dey inside d N1.6T abi e go still join am!!!

Too late. An upright man would have brought the petition before the raid. It sounds more like the cry of a drowning man.

I'm not an advocate of government keeping control of the resources, if you think that's what I'm insinuating. I'm just an advocate of things being done the right way. I get that you want the Niger Deltans to have their resource control so that the oil curse would be restricted to their region instead of the entire country. I wouldn't mind that either. But I'm just being logical here, and the ND is just a case study. Accountability is paramount for any democratic system to be efficient at least to an extent. Even if the ND gets resource control and all the individual regions start sourcing for their own revenue, the question is, would the leaders in these regions use such revenues judiciously? Would the people hold them accountable? Because it doesn't matter what the source of the money is and how hardworking the people are, if at the end of the day it gets spirited into pockets of the few in power. Each region needs to ask it's leaders:what are you people doing with the money meant for all of us?

ndcide:
Can you also tell us how Nigeria survived before 1958 and the impact of government on the people of the region then.

In spite of all these big grammar. If there's no oil today, the region would have lost its competitive advantage and NO BODY WILL CARE. the resources from that region must be seen to impact the region the most before even the FCT.

This is my point and ditto to LRZNH

GetUmad:
Haba! Nigerian youths ona nor dey fit just take time to verify things before commenting.


It's obvious that's a mistake. How could he have finished secondary school in '86 only to bag his degree 13yrs later. Besides, when did they start awarding WASC certificate in primary school?


Make ona dey reason small small nah. It's free!

harsysky:
Please, I'm a novice when it comes to politics. I want a fan of David mark to categorically tell me what good David has accomplished for this country. I just wanna know so that I could support him for this one.

personalview:
u pple as insiders should stop misinforming others. Zone C rerun election is simply a case of poor representation & the clamour for liberation. as senate president for 8 good years u dont have any excuse on earth not to have drawn meaningful development for ur people. its not by fighting another race but aligning with them to bring dividends of democracy & peace full co existence. we need a bridge builder & not a bridge breaker

personalview:
I feel so ashamed hearing my brodas from zone c in Benue state bringing up sentiments in2 dis rerun election. its their cross & wat eva decision dy take dy must carry d cross 4 anoda 4years. d issue of being oppressed by d Tiv tribe shouldnt b a focal point of covering ones inability to deliver quality representation 2his pple. Is there any politician in Benue that has represented better than mark. You spoke as if the other zones are better rep. From Akume to Gemade which of them has represented better than mark

omenka:
Cherry picking. They have to be "career" but political appointees don't have to right??

Typical Bruce Lee logic.


By the way, I'm a youth from the Senatorial Zone and have every right to an opinion on what happens there. Are you

Funjosh:
Leave them let them be blindfolded by the piece of bread he is sharing. No any significant development in Idomaland and yet some of them are ready to die for him.

oteneaaron:
I don't know if you're Idoma, but Oyi, chill and read between the Lines.....

I'd rather vote one Onjeh...dan 50 David Marks.....

Which dirty scholarship?...which employment........stop embarassing the Idoma tribe, I beg of u.....

Countrygirl:
Pls say 'i am proud' not 'we are proud' cos 4me he has done absolutely next to nothing.

oteneaaron:
The main issue here is the relevance of the Idoma in National politics....

..if Onjeh wins, the Idoma will remain under the shackles of the Tiv general-- Akume George --but there will be a little change and progress back home in Benue south


But if David Mark wins, the Tiv grip on Idoma will be lessened(though not completely), but development will be abysmal......

So it's a case of choosing the Devil or the deep blue sea....

Btruth:
I'm so disappointed seeing Mr. Mark still struggling for that seat again. Does it mean there's no other person in his area?

Can't he go and use all his loots to create jobs for people, so that he can employ them and people will have food on their table from the employment?

ademega:
most northerners would be affected. that is how they do even at local government level.

Jonathan regime brought the idea of BVN, but he lacked the balls to implement it Buhari got their and did the implementation within a very short period of time without minding to step on toes. the bulk of the arms deal investigation were gotten from this policy.

implementation is the key in any administration even if u have good policies, without implementation you are a failure just like..... I no mention name oh

kingphilip:
thanks for the enlightenment I really appreciate

luvinhubby:
What is the difference between deficit & borrowing in respect to budget projections, considering that projected IGR was part of the calculated income that gave rise to the deficit which will be augmented by borrowing.
In short, deficit & borrowing are one & the same in every budget.

Obiagelli:
No the argument is losing our foriegn resever from over $40 billion in 2008 to $30 billion in 2015 despite record oil prices same goes for the ECA or SWF or whatever name we give it

Obiagelli:
My goodness all the borrowed money going into capital projects. How many times will i say this?

Tokt:

U can say this again. Towards the end of Jonah-daft tenure, the fool borrowed 1 billion dollars to purchase arms only for Dasuki and co to squander it.

hopilo:
Maritime Academy Oron is an institution with structures already, The should have upgraded the Oron Academy to University. And use the funds for other things.

TheGoodJoe:
I guess the Federal Government is after the NIMASA bosses for spending their money. Or are you saying the funding of the NIMASA does not come from Nigeria. Or what.

I do not get your point. Amaechi said he wants to achieve the same aim of the University proposal with the Oron Institution.

Simple, achieve the same aim of the University with the Oron Institution.

I should stop mentioning Oil here because of what? Our revenue comes from fishes and NIMASA does not get money from the National Budget.
