This was why they avoided debate and fortunately for them they won. I want to see how they will deny this one. They are all documented...

Don't forget the Promise of paying allowance to elderly and disabled by Buhari.

Osinbajo, January 8, 2015

He had NO idea! He's being out of government for more than 30 years na. He's lost touch with reality.

His social programme alone will be gulping a very sizeable part from the entire budget.

Buhari administration will be likened to "Haha-ocracy". This is similar to the one chance promise of most opposition parties and candidates in their bid to clinch power.

bros, I still don't get your point. Please re-read your post
u said that sure p didn't capture up to 200k people, and I told u that the case wasn't because the govt had no money to cater for more than a million candidates, but because of corruption and the willingness to steal.

My argument thus is that paying 5k to some millions of unemployed youth is feasible but no advisable. There are many avenues to raise that cash. So, I will advise he pay thru skill acquisition programmes.

If $2 is saved from each barrell produced, there will be abundance to cater for many woes.

Buhari has no democratic ideals and coupled with his 12million "Talakawa" voters up North it would be difficult unseating Buhari.

The future looks bleak though nature has been known to favour Nigerians when faced with autocratic rulers.

What exactly do u knw?

If a daft man like Jonathan can use 2trillion for election, then 1.8 trillion is possiblenin four yrs.

Besides, feeding the school children will be limited to public school, just increase every state govt allocation by 15 million and it will work.

Abt paying the unemployed youth without working is not sensible. He can continue the Jonathan's sure p internship programme. At least, they pay 10k per month for a yr so its possible.

If ladija can return 500 million, OBJ- 200million dollars then be rest assured that there is cash available.

Look at it this way: if you remove $2 on every barrel produced, then tell me it won't amount to something

Pls, are you this daft to have believed any of those nonsense you there? Do you know what is 2 trillion naira? What fact do you have that Obasanjo returned $200 million? Gosh! Are you this daft?

The same Buhari that has been talking of reducing "Recurrent Expenditure" is the same buhari that promised a non-feasible social program that will add a whopping 1.8 tr annually to our recurrent expenditure. Where in God's name will he see the money to fund it? Will he take loan? Taking loan to fund social program is synonymous to eating your future. That will be "Another Greece Loading...".

I have a firm belief that Buhari may end up achieving nothing tangible throughout his 4years undecided going by your thread barcanista, his social programme no matter how lofty the ideas are are bound to be hijacked by the snakes in his government because Buhari is a weakling in power.....smart politicians in his cabinet will still wreck more havoc to his plans except he stick to technocrats for power, petroleum, agriculture, education and foreign affairs ministries.

I just downloaded, read and took a screenshot of all 20 pages of said APC roadmap.

I would be quite callous to expect them to deliver on all those. Those were actually written and graphicalized by good copywriters who had very vivid and idealistic sense of imagination.

I have always praised the PR and Media arm of APC, I hope they come up with some form of abracadabra to turn off to an appreciable level, the level of expectations Nigerians have bestowed on the incoming government.

My heart goes out to Buhari, who might not be able to handle these pressures and when they start pouring in, really I fear for his health.

Why has Osinbajo gone silent?

Why are there more news filtering in on Jonathan's loss and his campaign funds. Could this be a propaganda to quell the masses demand for 5k and free meals with the excuse that Jona finished all our money on elections (which might as well be a lie)?

Why is Buhari so party conscious, this is the same path Jona took (trying to placate everyone) and lost popularity with most of the populace.

The social media painted to me, an image of a man who is ruthless, who takes no prisoners....having read his recent interview, I must say this, I am not impressed, I have to point out though, that he made some statements that showed his selflessness and will to do the Nation good.....I hope his willpower sustains that.


Well, these are mostly random thoughts and I hope things pan out for the better in the near future.
Despite my convictions about the APC, a huge part of me still looks forward to a better Nigeria, a changed Status quo.

So help us God.

Oga you keep making ridiculous statement. How much is allocated to SURE-P btw? Can you steal more than what is available to steal? Abi you think say them de print money anyhow? Who tell you that Obasanjo returned 200m? Which 200m sef? We are talking of N1.8trn here and you are bringing beer-parlour gist. How is paying 5' per monk to 25m Nigerians feasible?do you have an idea on how much is our annual revenue? You want him to take loan from WB and IMF to fund the project?

barcanista:
1. Buhari/APC To Pay 25m Unemployed N5000 Per Month
Cost Implication:

The implication here is that the sum of N125billion (ie 25million * N5000) will be spent to service this policy every month, and an estimated N1.5 trillion (ie N125bn * 12 months) will be spent on this policy alone every year.

2. Buhari/APC To Provide Daily Meal for Primary School pupils.
First, the FG has no business with the running of Primary schools. This is the responsibility of States and Local Government. However, Buhari's administration pledged to provide at least one meal per day for Primary school Children, we shall hold him accountable.
Cost Implication:
Osun State reportedly spent N3.2billion in 2014 for the feeding of 300,000 primary 1 to 4 pupils in the state. The Osun state program exclude pupils in Primary 5 and 6. If we are to break it per pupil, we will have N10,667 per pupil(ie 3.2b/300k). Considering that over 35million children are estimated to be enrolled in Primary school across the country, at least the sum of THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREEE BILLION (N373b) is estimated to be spent on the program annually(ie 35m * 10,667).

Gross Annual Estimated Cost For Both Programs
N1.5trn + N373b = N1.873trn

That means Buhari is to increase our Recurrent Expenditure by N1.83trn.

How Feasible Are These Programs?
Let us take a look at the key component of the 2015 Budget(as adjusted by the Senate).
Total Budget Stand at N4.3trn.
Recurrent Expenditure: N2.58 trillion
Capital Expenditure: N700 billion

From where will Buhari See N1.8trn To Service His Social Programs?
- Remove Subsidy? If he's thinking of scrapping fuel subsidy, the adjusted allocation for petrol subsidy in 2015 budget is N100billion. The adjusted allocation for SURE-P is N21b, while the subsidy for kerosene for 2015 was adjusted to N45.5b. This gives a total of N166.5b.
Even if he should scrap SURE-P and remove the petrol and kerosene subsidy, he still won't be able to get 1% of the N1.8trn.

- Spend All Capital Expenditure + Subsidy? Even if Buhari is to spend all our N700b Capital Expenditure on his Social program in addition to the N166.5billion subsidy funds, it still won't be enough as it will fall short of One Trillion Naira.
N700b + N166.5b= N866 billion

- Money Appropriated To NASS? The total budget for the National Assembly for 2015 is N115b. Even if Buhari is to spend this money + subsidy allocation + Capital Expenditure to fund his program, he won't be able to raise the required fund. As all appropriation combined stand at N981billion(ie N700b + N115b + N166b)

So How Does Buhari intend to raise N1.873trillion to fulfil this social welfare pledge? Does this mean the administration has failed even before starting? Dead on arrival?


Jonathan spent 2 trillion naira on election ogunje and that money is not even on the budget. YES WE CAN.
