For me, this is something to cheer. If gives hope for dear country.
If the figures are ambiguous and the ministers are denying them rather than covering up and doing business as usual, then, for me, it hopes hope. From these false howbeit transparent start, we can build a better Nigeria.
And if heads would roll in the budget office, so be it.

The president should immediately sack the DG budget office and the minister of Budget and national planning. They have both failed the president. The massive fraud in the budget was perpetrated in the budget office and the leadership should be made to pay for it.

Going forward, the president needs to appoint a very knowledgeable and trusted management or public accountant as his special assistant on budget. The SA budget and his team will help the president review the budget before it is presented to FEC for approval. If due diligence was carried out on this budget after it was compiled by the budget office, all this paddling, inflation and errors would have been detected and the president would have been spared of this national embarrassment.

I'm surprised to hear this from you, but it is good to be objective. It's becoming obvious that Buhari can not run Nigeria. He is obviously incompetent.

rolchi:
Is this the budget that will eventually pay the One Million 'poorest' Nigerians?

Is this the budget that will pay 500,000 unemployed graduates who will be deployed by teachers?

Is this the budget that has been hailed by the APC as Budget for the Common Man - the first in Nigeria?

Is this the budget that is prepared using the Zero Based Budget process as advertised by the Vice President since September 2015?

Is this the budget that will produce increased economic activity in Nigeria in 2016 to create wealth for Nigerians seeing that the economy is failing?

Is this the budget of "chanji"?

A budget where all the operators of the government have denied.

A budget that was presented with fanfare and Senator Ali Ndume calling the Minority to support it.

A budget first stolen from the strong room of the NASS.

A budget then recalled by the President and then re-submitted after removing the 3.7B NGN allocation for BMW cars

A budget now before the NASS for deliberations and alas, rats have invaded the budget.

This budget by the APC led FG is a huge National Embarrassment.

APC is only good at propaganda and not managing a multi ethnic, multi cultural and economically divergent country like Nigeria.

May God help us all.

Sammyashol:
All they know how to do is blame Jonathan and elderstatesmen. Where are the APC zombies? They will be like its Jonathan that wrote the figure of the budget. Bunch of mediocre

Budget padding has been happening over the years. It is coming out openly for the first time.

Obiagelli:
This government is failing, How
can.the contents of the most
important document for a year be
changed at all levels, yet no one has
been arrested till date

Iroh88:
I wanna believe you read my post in the other thread before posting this comment.

That is. Just the truth. Had the ministers "done the needful", all these wouldn't have come to the public.

Welcome development it is indeed!! Let them do their work. No more padding of budget and giving kickbacks to legislooters to seal their lips.

By the way, we are still waiting for the NASS to make public details of their own budget.

Atlantian:
Do you think Buhari has Reading and Comprehension capabilities ?

dunkem21:



Sorry for not informing you earlier ..

A philanthropist bought a wailing form for Obiagelli ..

She will be formally inducted to the wailing crew at the next BOT meeting.

Kindly update your records at the secretariat.

dearpreye:


The APC has been in power for months, having full and total access to all documents. Where's the missing $20 billion? Nigerians have forgotten.

dearpreye:


Hahahahaha. It could have had it written in Arabic. What do you say?

CyberWolf:
You see why I don't take that shameless hypocrite serious..

TheGoodJoe:


If it was Jonathan's regime, this budget will pass without question. Hence this is a corrupt conscious regime, our money is more secured unlike the Santa Claus regime.

Atlantian:
One could relate to the reason he chose to nominate mostly Hausa/Fulanis in his government. It might really not be nepotism, it could be an affirmation that he doesnt understand much 'big grammar"; he might truly be gunning for people he can interact with, in his dialect.

What a fat shame.

Do you remember Okonjo Iweala coming to debate to defend every logo in the budget?

No you don't because you were born in January 2016.

Announcement :

Due to the massive request for wailer's forms by numerous customers at our various outlets, we wish to inform the public that there are no forms on sale currently. The sale of forms have been suspended due to ongoing probe into how the APC former spokesman and the current Minister of information, came across the form he used recently during a presentation.

Please help the Wailers' Association fight corruption, don't sell pirated copies of the form, don't buy pirated forms.

Signed:
Wailers' Association... February 2016
