Only a fool will expect Nigeria to develop when we have only sycophants living in it. Even a country comprised of only computers and robots with no human interference will fair better than Nigeria.

First of, you don't expect a country riddled with bigotry, sycophancy, wickedness, heartlessness, corruption, etc, to progress do you?

Just the other day, someone that screamed sai Buhari during campaigns opened a thread showing how he embarked on fraudulent business activities. Same person campaigned and voted for "change" but was very happy cheating others. I wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority of criminals, oloshos, fraudstars, murderers, hoodlums belong to the sai baba crew..
Nigerians are the issue with this nation. Very emotional, flinching and deeply corrupt. The average person only dreams of cheating others to make it.

This nation will definitely not progress given the fraudulent, dishonest and corrupt nature of the masses- our government only reflects our true nature as a people.

I didn't and don't expect anything meaningful from a government whose people will defend it's madness and waste. I certainly do not have any hope in such people.

You can imagine the likes of dearpreye and his co-wailers boasting how they prevailed over Buhari to have a rethink on the expenditure, in wailing term. Need i not remind you that Buhari reads newspapers & the nation newspaper at that. The newspaper particularly critique the executive overheads while calling for urgent review to depart from the extravagant past. Buhari reminds nigerians during his media chat that he is always aware of the yearnings of the masses. You need to be hypermyopic enough to realise that the executive feedback system is topnotch, aso rock is not too big to detach him from the real world unlike the fossil of sychopants who formed the walls of the seat of power during the clueless days of jonathan. PMB has stated repaetedly that our resources shall be judiciously utilised and as such a rectification to such effect is a welcome development. CHANGE listens.

The truth has spoken!

I can see a host of brainless wailers rejoicing that Buhari is clueless because they hear he reviewed the budget downwards, how lame!

Just for the information of the wailers, this ability to spot extravagance and reverse it, this ability to listen to 'reasonable' criticism and do something about it, this is the exact reason why most of the Buharists like myself support the man.

From the first day I set my eyes on the budget, I asked a simple question, "Buhari and Osinbajo, are they aware of these figures?" I also said it clearly that these crazy figures must be reviewed downwards, if not now, then later. I thank God we now have a Buhari and not the old order. I can bet my life that if it was the old order, the criticism of the budget would have been dismissed and labelled by Jonathanians as an 'attack on GEJ.'

No wonder this man got your vote. Didn't you read where I said the principal who to buhari is the examiner or WAEC chairman gave him the result. But he could not be allowed by his near dead conscience to give him anything near pass in mathematics and economics.
you guys should stop fighting. He has people that will teach him how to read figure thats why he appointed them after all but we should pray they don't capitalize on his ignorance.

Following the outrage which had trailed the
billions of Naira allocated to the Presidency in the 2016 Budget,President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly ordered for a downward review of the budget.
DAILY POST gathered on Tuesday that the
president was angered at the bashing he was receiving over the billions allocated to his office, that of his vice, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, as well as Aso Rock as a whole.
Details provided by Nigeria’s budget office shows that the presidency got N19billion.
DAILY POST had published the breakdown of
2016 budget
about a week ago. http://dailypost.ng/
2015/12/26/2016 -
budget-breakdown-of-sums-allocated-to-preside
ncy-mdas-
others/
Further details on the presidential budget are as
follows:
State House headquarters – N12billion;
President’s
operations – N1.9billion; Vice President’s
operations –
N322million; Chief of Staff – N2.3million; Chief
Security
Officer – N3.2million; Lagos liaison office –
N127million;
State House medical centre – N3.9billion;
Feeding
N445million.
Most of the figures are higher to allocations
budgeted for same departments in recent years under President Goodluck Jonathan.
Our correspondent gathered that despite
denials by presidential aides, Buhari has ordered that the allocation to the presidency be reduced.
Reacting, Buhari’s His Special Assistant on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu had on Monday
admitted that some figures in the budget were new.
“Some of these figures being quoted are strange to us.” Shehu stated.
According to him, the Ministry of Budget and
Planning have been instructed to look through the figures. Shehu advised the media to exercise patience until the federal legislature gets the details of the budget.
“When the National Assembly returns from
recess, the lawmakers will be given the full estimates of the budget, including what is voted for each department, ministries and
agencies. What is voted for the State House will
also be included,” Shehu said.
A government official however confided in
DAILY POST that
the Budget Ministry had received presidential
directive to slash the N19billion budget.
“The president became alarmed when his
attention wto called to the fact that the figures were higher to that of his predecessor, whom he criticised. He also demanded explanation on some of the allocations in view of the economic crisis.
“Expect a reduced figure. I can’t speculate by
how much, but things not really necessary will either be slashed or outrightly expunged,” he told our correspondent at an event in Lagos on Tuesday.
Buhari had on December 22, 2015 presented a
Budget estimate of N6.08 trillion to a joint sitting of the National Assembly.
Some parts of the budget have attracted
criticisms from many Nigerians, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and even members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Buhari knows nothing in that budget, he can't read clearly especially when it has to do with figures, he gets confused. That was why he got F in Mathematics and Economics in the result his Principal as the chairman of WAEC gave him. You know zombies when after reading that most of the figures are higher than what Jonathan spent in previous years and they still tell you the man is economical in his spending unlike GEJ who lavished our money.
Some body probably spook in Hausa to him about what was written in the nations.

dearpreye:
When we cried out over the over bloated and insensitive billions allocated for the Presidency, we were tagged wailers. A couple of days later, the President retrieved the document he didn't even see details before presenting it to the NASS and shamefully reduced the waste, and all of a sudden he's a listening President. SMH! Nigerians are the problems with Nigeria.

This isn't any case of a listening president BUT an obvious show of incompetence and inattention to details. All the same, criticisms have forced him to reduce those mind boggling absurdities in his budget.
Very true. I've modified my post to reflect this

seriously dude from the bottom of your heart pls answer me; did you make sense with this post? I wish you could throw away sentiment and read what you have written you will ask a bystander to flog you until you are saturated.....how can you be trying to curtail expenditure and you put in figures larger than the most criticised presd (gej). You saw no wrong in it, those who prepared the budget (agents of change) saw no wrong in it.......and the president blindly took it to the National Assembly where we have change lawmakers who were ready to approve the budget from the saintly one! Let's say buhari did not have time to go through the budget, agreed are you saying he did not go through the part of the budget that deals with his personal welfare? GUY! Guy!!!!.....and you believe that? Ha!!...are you saying members of the FEC did not do a preview and inform the president of the gross anomaly? Are you saying the minister of finance who warned about austere times was not informed about the budget? Pls who prepared the budget? undecided.....Until there was great criticism then the budget was withdrawn.....why was it withdrawn? simply because it has a relative increase compared to GEJ right? Just look at how shallow we are? Let me assume the increment was an absolute one lower than that of gej but yet on the high side you will embrace it and say "afterall it is lower than that of gej" right? ......listening to the masses does not excuse your flagrant incompetence...I will support buhari if he did not withdraw that part of the budget as long as he comes out to defend and justify it period. But it seems it is all about scoring political point and also trying to achieve self righteousness. The painful part is....you are a graduate...I am not concerned about sycophants and rabbles.......when they make ignorant comments I am only scared of Educated illiterate.....I hope I did not insult you and if you find any part offensive....it was not deliberate.....

These senseless, idiotic sycophantic and animalistic hypocrites applauded the old, senseless and brain dead, dullardo (that can't read, write or even understand simple numbers that primary school pupils play with) when he released that useless budget. We criticized the useless budget while they applauded it and called us wailers. Now the brain dead mofo withdraws and reviews the budget only for the pîg-headed sycophants to come out now and say that he's a listening president.
