Google the info you need. There are many genuine things to criticise about the budget, quit dwelling on the falsehoods.

obailala:
A spade is obviously a spade. There is always an attempt by several people in government to smuggle things into the budget. You would clearly be exposing clear ignorance if you think this sleaze started in 2016. We can only thank God things like this are now being exposed with the thorough public scrutiny.

By the way, the feeding part of the budget is just a little above a hundred million and not N1.7 billion as you have ignorantly quoted. Learn to confirm your figures instead of copying and pasting hearsays from facebook.

obailala:
Of course no right thinking person would support this sleaze of a budget. But yeah, the joke is absolutely on you for your sheer ignorance in thinking this sleaze started in the 2016 budget. Have you ever taken a look at past Nigerian budgets since 1999?... You can just start by downloading the 2014 and 2015 budgets from the budget office website and compare it with this one to get a clearer picture. If there's anything about the latest trend then it's the fact that things like this are now being exposed.

Why do igbos and SS find it easy to sympathize with corrupt politicians Many of those poverty stricken PDP followers who cant even afford a sausage roll are bragging about boycotting chicken Republic for making an advert concerning Thief metuh While they applauded AIT for making partisan documentaries about Buhari and Tinubu during the 2015 elections They claim Nnamdi Kanu is free to express his views by abusing Buhari and other Nigerians but are quick to criticize Chicken Republic for expressing their own views concerning Metuh. Talk of cheer hypocrisy :-/ Hopeless lpo-Baboons

Shut up and use ur brain please.

Super1Star:
Are you this daft!!!!

Something is an Act, a law in its own right and your are here debating something that is not debatable.

FG only implemented the law. How is that a crime?

We are too used to lawlessness in this country to the extent that we now believe it is the right way of life.

SkyBlue1:
Answer the question. You can't just go and form fake award and say "First African President to win award". When was the award started and who else has won it and one to collect so we can get a sense of the prestige? You can't answer because you know it is a fake award, and as useless and unbankable on the world stage as all the fake eze titles he has been given. That it the truth.

SkyBlue1:
Firstly, all these fake awards popping up here and there, please which other world leader has won this award AND made the effort to go and collect it? Nigerians have very low standards and don't know when they are being patronised by the west, to even suggest nobel peace prize for being a terrible president and then handing over power AFTER being beaten at an election is just sad, not irritating, not annoyinbg, just very very sad. And to suggest such in Europe of all continents. The African continent has a long way to go with such shallowand vapid mentalities.

We should commend d president 4 listening to us on nairaland and Nigeria masses in general for reducing aso rock feeding from 500million naira in d first version to 100Million naira in the new version.

This is better than in d past were president defend 1billion naira for Aso rock feeding

We should commend d president for reducing Car in presidency from 3.4billion in d first version to 340million in the new one. That is 90% drop.

I agree he was not well advised on how to go about it, but it was done with d interest of d masses. But we should focus on end point of the action and not on frivolities PDP are feeding d masses with.

We should understand that Buhari was not under any compulsion to reduce some of those extravagance. He could have ignored d criticism of d masses and leave the waste in d budget. But he listen to us and amended it.

Why is it not an issue in the House of Representative? The Budget was not only given to Senate. The budget was presented to Joint National Assembly. Not to senate alone. House of rep has no issue with d amendment. But criminal Saraki in d senate is trying to over blow it to protect himself from code of conduct tribunal because the supreme court decision is close by on the 5th of February. He is wasting his time. If Saraki thinks he can connive with PDP to blackmail the president into killing the anti-corruption drive of the president, he is making a big mistake .

The Budget has not be signed into law. It has not be approve. So it can be changed or ammended. The president saw an error and chose to correct. I agree and prefer that the president should have been more open about it even though wailers could have as well wail and call him incompetent. I believe he was wrongly advised on how to do it, but the overall intention is noble. Nigerians should learn to praise noble things rather than destroying it with useless technicalities and partisanship.


PDP should not be taken seriously because they dont care a bit about Nigeria masses.
They only care about protecting thier criminal members and looters.

Next time the president must ensure he prove read every document before making it public to avoid this kind of embarrassment in the future.

As far as i am concern, this whole noise on d budget is due to the fact that the President and Saraki are not in good terms. So senate President is making unneccessary noise about it.

There is no illegality in what d presidency did. No law was broken. He may have missed some protocol in doing it, no single law was broken.

As a member of Nigeria masses, I know when things is done for the interest of d masses. This case is clearly in d interest of d masses. I will rather focus on d nobility of the intention and action of the president, than focus on the technicality which is being overblown out of proportion in d senate by the senate president to protect himself from prosecution.

I have seen both version. They are almost 99% the same. The majoy difference is the reduction in Extravagance in the presidency in the new one.

The senate is a joke for childishly over blowing and dramatising the issue.


THE BUDGET WAS SUBMITTED TO BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE OF REP. HOUSE OF REP SPEAKER SAID NOTHING IS MISSING WHY IS SENATE PRESIDENT MAKING ALL THE NOISE
APC? SHAME!!! He wanted to amend the budget presented to NASS, because he listens and cares about the masses, why didn't he go through the appropriate channel to do that instead he decided to secretly take it away from NASS. See tell your self the truth, this is the biggest blunder ever by this govt in the history of Nigeria. What does PDP have to do with this. Blame game and propaganda can't work for you guys in all things.

mazzi:
bro you got that guy wrong,read his post again you will realize that he was just using the word 'sarcasm' to mock this government.

What's your beef you wailer ? The website upgrade comes with a 5.5 ltr V16 engine with 7 speed electronic triptronic automatic gearbox + front and side airbags and complimentary champagne. Do you have such website in your IPOB village

oloriooko:
What in heavens is wrong with PMB?
He keeps moving from one error to major errors

Has hr forgotten that he's the president not a chief in Daura? These are embarrassing actions that do not speak well of this country

vedaxcool:
Mad thread by a paid liar and defender of looters. Where did they ever say Buhari submitted a fake budget? Mugu wawanchi! It says they will work with what Buhari submitted. When will these zombie wailers leave lying to the devil? The people's govt is in power, no amount of blackmail and lies by disechanted supporters of thieves would ever stop our change from succeeding. Now gerrarahere you no what I am saying!

seunmsg:
You want the president to meet with them in the presence of journalists? Are you guys for real?

The press would be briefed on the decisions reached after the meeting is concluded. Sensitive security issues cannot be discussed with media cameras everywhere.

Beside, we should give kudos to the president for meeting with the BBOG activists for the second time in his administration. When this same group attempted to meet GEJ, they were tear gassed by AIG Mbu and his men.
