Here is a breakdown of Nigerian national annual budgets between Jonathan, Buhari and Tinubu presidencies:


2011–2015 (Jonathan): ₦23.33 Trillion (With Subsidy)
2016–2023 (Buhari): ₦94.90 Trillion (With Subsidy)
2024–2026 (Tinubu): ₦152.09 Trillion (Without Subsidy)

Under Goodluck Jonathan, the total federal budget between 2011 and 2015 was ₦23.33 trillion. Under Muhammadu Buhari, the total budget from 2016 to 2023 was ₦94.90 trillion. Yet in just three years, from 2024 to 2026, Bola Tinubu's administration will spend an estimated ₦152.09 trillion, around ₦60 trillion more than Buhari spent in eight years and over six times what Jonathan spent in five years.

Yet, Nigeria is not better off than they were in 2015 and 2023, when Jonathan and Buhari handed over, respectively.

Here's the annual breakdown for quick verification:


2011: ₦4.48 trillion
2012: ₦4.69 trillion
2013: ₦4.98 trillion
2014: ₦4.69 trillion
2015: ₦4.49 trillion
2016: ₦6.06 trillion
2017: ₦7.44 trillion
2018: ₦9.12 trillion
2019: ₦8.92 trillion
2020: ₦10.81 trillion (Amended to ₦10.5 trillion due to COVID-19)
2021: ₦13.59 trillion
2022: ₦17.13 trillion (Adjusted with a ₦982 billion supplementary budget)
2023: ₦21.83 trillion
2024: ₦28.78 trillion
2025: ₦54.99 trillion
2026: ₦68.32 trillion

Imagine still asking what the Government is doing. Aren't you the same people who said this government hasn't done a thing, so what's the repetitive question for?

Meanwhile

Abuja is not part of Nigeria

This government hasn't done a thing

Both statements is correct or

Crooknubu.

He and his Lagos boys have stolen everything.

World wide inflation caused it

Yeah, he has done nothing. So we want to hear from his brothers that claim he ia doing something

So inflation grew by over 600% between 2015 and 2026?

A blind like me with a blurry vision hasn't seen a thing done by this government

Nigerian deserves their leader,is not a curse this country can never get better. Imagine if Obasanjo is still the president. Can it be so bad like this.......

A sincere question.......

Nigeria will get to a stage that breaking up will be inevitable.

It’s that large because Tinubu has dangerously devalued the Naira. If we say this, his supporters will say “Naira only found its real value” and also say “Naira has been heavily defended”.

One question they’ve not answered is at what point in Nigeria’s history did the government start defending the Naira?

Let’s not also forget that the budgets under this federal administration are overly ambitious and underperforming.

The same una talk say Nigeria has more monet now than before. Una talk say states have more now.

Wetin come here inflation again?

You see what I am seeing with my eyes ?

Tinubu will cash out big after leaving his post. He will desperately find an APC replacement to cover up his tracks.

Devaluation of naira and careless borrowing spree🤷🏿.

They citizens are no longer benefitting from the government .

Tinubu will recklessly wreck this nation rekereke.

You see the problem with Nigeria is, the unproductive ones are always there looking for who to blame to fees good about their lack of productivity.
Let me hope you are not one of them.

Talk of unapologetic kleptocrat , the clown in aso rock is one. Never in my wildest dream did I ever thought that someone can ever beat Buhari failure, but the clown in aso rock prove me so wrong. I don't even think that anyone can be worst than him. Whoever comes after him just have to do a little and boom he'll be the greatest despite not even doing anything, he only have to beat this failure a little.

On your mandate we shall stand gbolah Teanubu.

the enemy came to steal ,to kill and to perish. Where is yarimo and his twin brother helinues

We still Dey stand for this same mandate soooo 😞

Defence be eating our Budget and nothing to show for?

In a working country, Bola Tinubu ought to be in a maximum security prison serving a long jail sentence and not occupying the highest office in the nation and using politics of bribery, thuggery, voodoo practice, state capture and tribalism to be destroying Nigeria

One of the best analysis. I hope DrMB is observing.

See excuse. Yet army have no bullet or equipment to locate hostages alone talk less of rescuing them. Iree ooo.

The Naira was devalued in 2023. GEJ should have removed fuel subsidies in 2012.

Continue borrowing foreign exchange to fund subsidies and FX Control, and watch as the Nigerian economy collapses

Crooknubu.

He and his Lagos boys have stolen everything.

The master strategist has stolen everything to bribe politicians into Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC for 2027 and his 3rd term agenda for life president in 2031.

I just dey pity Kwankwaso, Ribadu and other northerners thinking Tinubu will leave in 2031. He will use & dump them as he has done with others who helped him politically since 1992.

He is setting up the structure to succeed where Obasanjo failed in 2007.

"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.

I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.

Naira found its level; you can't have three separate currencies. The currency had to be unified. The real issue is that Nigeria doesn't produce anything; we import everything, including bottled water and toothpicks. If your currency is chasing imports, then the value will be low.

lol. Can you imagine how next 4 years will now look if ……

Na so dem be. Very wasteful people. They go finish trillions for party then be looking for who to steal from
