In under 3 years, Tinubu has approved or sought approval for well over $40 billion in new borrowing, with the latest $6 billion request filed today. Nigeria's Naira-denominated debt has grown by roughly N45 trillion since he took office. The country is spending more on debt servicing than on capital projects and in January 2025, zero naira was recorded as capital expenditure while nearly N700 billion went to debt service that month alone... how can any sane person vote or campaign for this government? can you run your company or business like this?

All these loans and subsidy proceeds yet nothing tangible to show for it, instead insecurity, multidimensional poverty, corruption is now the order of the day. What a wicked and evil administration

Yep, as expected from the government and the party that promised diversification but did not deliver diversification.

Plus, for those asking for oil windfall, remember that 80% of our revenue comes from oil. Government revenue. Remember also tha toil prices until this last month have been low, and most of the windfall is going to pay the resulting debt.

SO, we got to face reality, fight corruption, actually fight it, tax more of the gdp and also...also, diversify the economy and make it an economy reliant on manufactured goods and services.
You keep unraveling as a BATist everyday grin grin
Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by truthhurtsnaira: 3:58pm On Mar 31
Why are they borrowing…. Well the international bankers that control him are telling him to do so lol…


WHere are the external reserves to use?
Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by Nomsco: 3:58pm On Mar 31
Please Mr. President, can you itemize the key capital projects this money is going to be channelled to, or is it the 2027 POWERFUL project?

eish

Only if you people have the courage to condemn what you support
You are not supposed to talk at this point but one thing with you BAT group is that you don't give up so easily. Look at were we are today but no meaningful achievement. No good health care, standard of education has dropped, no refinery, no electricity, only tax tax tax. You should be ashamed of yourself

This man just dey borrow dey go. What's now the essence of the subsidy una take away from us?
lol
So the subsidy na unlimited money,abi?
USA,China etc are still borrowing,why?

Previous govts have borrowed but massively embezzled the money.
We can see the massive infrastructures Tinubu govt is executing all over Nigeria.

Borrowing is not the issue, what they are doing with the funds is what we have issue with
This is actually an open ended statement.

Now the question is; Do you believe the administration led by Bola Ahmed Tinubu has efficiently utilized borrowed funds in a way that justifies taking on additional debt?”
Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by iwaeda: 4:02pm On Mar 31
They lied they have met their targets, but borrowing like grave yards. Tinubu is not beyond 2027. Akpabio will stamp it. grin grin grin grin grin

Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by Mj4199(m): 4:03pm On Mar 31
When Tinubu asked Jonathan to resigned due to insecurity challenges back then, why can't he do the same now that it seems worse..... Someone please come and defend him let me hear your reason(s) if any?
Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by Raregem9000(m): 4:04pm On Mar 31
My point is why take away subsidy when they are still going to keep borrowing? You must be benefiting from this government to not see anything bad in this excessive borrowings.

There is no way you can run govt without borrowing.....60% of the revenu you make is going into debt service, you are only left with 40% in that you have to fund your recurrent and capital obligations.....whats left? It's only by borrowing you can balance up your deficit.....govt has said you need to start paying taxes you cried that no you aren't paying..... how the hell do you think govt will get money to run the country.
6 billion and crude oil is heading to $120 per barrel, even with the loan we are paying back we should not even be borrowing much at the moment.

What have the government been doing with the indirect taxes?? 1 trillion is still missing and you want everyone to smile.

Sometimes, we need to ask Question ⁉️
Why Do Our Past And Present Leaders Borrow, money,especially in foreign currency 💲

Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by Omoboricash(m): 4:08pm On Mar 31

Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by Bizibi(m): 4:11pm On Mar 31
They need to state clearly what the want to use that money for......crude oil is heading to$120 per barrel and the government is giving vague reasons for borrowing that money.

At the moment why shouldn't they borrow to build more oil and gas infrastructures on the rest oil fields.

Re: Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval To Borrow $6 Billion by Josywhyte: 4:17pm On Mar 31
This is the only thing he and his cohorts know. Borrow from all corners of the world while your citizens are being murdered on a daily basis. You're busy printing banners and hosting conventions while the masses suffer epileptic power supply,hunger and starving, high cost of living and transport fare, fuel hike,etc. A president that is not moved by the suffering and death of his citizens is worst than the DEVIL himself

Yet these set of people(APC), from Buhari, saying Jonathan mismanaged economy.

Yet some educated youth still singing on your mandate.

Yet masses that suffering still arguing and fighting for Tinubu to continue.


Indeed, citizens deserve what they subjected them to.
Educated youths that are easily induced by urgent 2k and 1 cup of garri and rice. Most youth of this country are spineless
