This borrowing has become so unrealistic.
It's very clear now that we have no working government.

In 3yrs Tinubu has made borrowing his hobby and made taxing the commoners his foremost choice.

These are most pathetic times Nigerians face under Tinubu. I strongly believe we shall sail through. At least the few that could survive after his tenure 2027 or 2031.

Tinubu can not extinct Nigeria nor the diver tribes and ethnic groups. GOD made these people from creation. No man can vanish them from the face of this earth.

Rather the man would rot in HELL.

You fell for Reno's cheap trick meant for people who are poor in simple Math. His target audience is Tinubu supporters in general.

$113 billion dollars in 2023 under Buhari was about N60 trillion naira (N500 ~ $1)

$104 billion dollars in 2025 under Tinubu was over N135 trillion naira (N1,300 ~ $1)

Tinubu has come to steal, kill and destroy Nigeria.

He Must be sent Packing next year.
lol, If we compare Tinubu’s borrowing with Buhari’s, it’s not as simple as saying one is just borrowing more.
During Buhari’s time, the naira was stronger against the dollar, around 750 to 800 naira per $1. Now it is around 1,360 per $1. So if Nigeria owes, for example, $1 billion, the amount in naira terms will automatically look much bigger today even if the dollar amount has not increased. That is because the naira has lost value, not necessarily because more money was borrowed.
Also, since Tinubu came in, there have been several major spending commitments. Student loans were introduced, salaries were increased for police, teachers, military, and NYSC members, and some outstanding arrears for doctors were paid. There are also more federal road projects going on compared to previous years, and state allocations have increased significantly, in some cases two to three times higher.
All these things require a lot of money.
So the question is, where is the government getting the funds from to cover all these expenses? It is not like the money is coming from nowhere.

Nigeria is going to get the money to pay back the debt from its taxpayers in naira, so focus on is the naira value of the debt. Reno is only talking about dollar value to confuse people like you

You should know by now that I am not the type you chase around with your APCs propaganda talking points..
Below are the facts, deal with it.
You kwurupt lot elected a government that is solely interested in increasing taxes and looting the country bare...
History will remember all of you for this infamy..


There are indications that Nigeria may be facing a fiscal crises following reports of large-scale underfunding of capital budgets.


Financial analysts say the development is set to jeopardize the current administration’s target of $1 trillion economy by 2030.


Already, the development is unsettling the National Assembly, which has begun scrutinizing the details of the implementation of the capital component of the budget.

The scrutiny was sparked off by shocking disclosures at the National Assembly by several ministries at the budget defense sessions, where the Ministers and heads of agencies said they received only a tiny fraction of funds approved for capital projects in the 2025 fiscal year.

So far it has been found out that only N9.13 billion or 1.3 percent was released out of N1.218 trillion capital budgets of eight ministries for execution of the budgeted projects, leaving a funding gap of 98.7 percent.

The Federal Government’s executives admitted to lawmakers that billions of naira appropriated by the parliament for infrastructure, health, and development projects were never released to their ministries.

The revelation reached a dramatic point when the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Ali Pate, disclosed before the House of Representatives Committee on Healthcare Services that his ministry received only N36 million, about 0.02 percent of the N218 billion approved for capital expenditure in the 2025 budget, a disclosure that has triggered outrage among members of the House of Representatives and raised serious questions about Nigeria’s budget implementation framework.

These fresh revelations have also exposed a troubling reality in Nigeria’s public finance system: billions of naira approved by lawmakers for capital projects in 2025 were either drastically under-released or not released at all.

Vanguard also learnt that other infractions such as selective releases have been uncovered.
The disclosures made by ministers and heads of agencies while defending their 2026 budget proposals have raised serious concerns among lawmakers about the credibility of Nigeria’s appropriation process and the growing gap between budget approvals and actual project execution.


Evidence across other ministries
Vanguard findings show similar tales of woes on capital budget releases across many other ministries.
Multiple ministries and agencies disclosed that they received only a tiny fraction of their capital allocations in 2025.

Some of them include Ministry of Women Affairs which got N394.8 million released, just 0.44% of the approved capital budget of N89.8billion; Ministry of Marine & Blue Economy, ¦ 202million, about 1.7% releasedout of the N353billion capital budget; Ministry of Transportation received N2.5 billion, about 1.0% out of the approved N256.7billion capital budget; Federal Ministry of Housing & Urban Development got N2.0 billion, about 2.0% of the N100billion capital budget; Federal Ministry of Water Resources got N1.0 billion, about 1.5% of the N80billion capital budget; and Ministry of Agriculture & Food Security, which got N3.0 billion out of N120billion budgeted.
