This clearly shows Buhari is a president with clear vision and mission. He is focus on his goal and wont allow unneccesary politics by NASS to distract him

Just as the NASS can not just approve the original Budget d way Buhari sent it to them, So also is d right of the president to review what NASS sent to him.

Yes d delay might prolong d current pain, but it is d right thing to do.

Everytin about this Budget has proven Buhari is a man of integrity with uncommon courage. This is d first true Budget in d last 16 years. For the first time, many Nigerians have a reasonable idea of the content of the Budget in detail. Before now, money will chang[i][/i]e hand with Ghana must go, and d budget will be pass.

And April is almost over...soon it will be july and half of the year will be gone yet the budget which ought to have been executed since January is yet to be implemented. Contractors have not been paid till now, There's no money in the ministries to execute projects and create jobs for graduates, scarcity of fuel is at its highest peak, the country is at a stand still cos of this budget...instead of urging the president to hasten up... you're praising and encouraging him knowing that time is of the essence in achieving all that is stipulated in the Budget this year....What a SHAME...!!

APC guys will support this govt even in death from failed governance grin

Has anyone asked from which budget senators bought their new cars?

If buhari had a competent NASS liason officer, who can harsh out the budget line by line with legislators, so that by the time the NASS passes the budget it would be something both NASS and ASO rock agree on, this drama wont continue, that is how it is done in democratic countries led by human beings with a brain. Buhari still thinks govt is like military where you give orders and others obey.
He shoulda known that 99% of those shouting SAI buhari in 2015 were corrupt.

Exactly the point I made in my earlier posts. The inability of the APC to establish a link and synergy between the Executive and Legislature without compromising their constitutional gutted only shows a deficit of leadership qualities. It goes way beyond command and control...

Most of these supporters repose their faith and belief in the person of Buhari forgetting that he had autocratic authority backed by military power and it's a different scenario now.

If the previous govt diverted arms meant to fight bokoharam and u claim the thousands of litres of PMS released by the current government is being diverted, is it safe to say the government is diverting PMS? Why wil you say is sabotage for the current govt and diversion for the previous govt? Are you being fair and just? Or is your mindset already bruised towards writing one off and accepting the other?

The PMS issue is out of their hands because it is still you and i that owns filling station that will make sure these fuel go round and are sold at the right price.

As for Uncle Goodluck, he has control over the arms money because it directly with people he can control. It is just a fone call, abi dansuki nor dey with am for Abuja there? He could have called them to order by kicking some people out or demand for the money if it is not bought. This is a different senerio to fuel situation you have sighted.

How many filling station across board (nationwide) you want this government to visit? Besides, as an individual, i can decide to hold fuel as long as i like or sell at any price, after all i have paid for it from the depot but of cos they hide while doing it so that petrol regulatory board does not know about it which might lead to closing down their station. Isn't that sabotage?

Abi you nor dey this Lagos for Egbeda whereby some filling station where stormed for selling at higher price and they ordered people to take fuel for free? That was more of a purnishment even though some might argue that it is not a good way to go about it.

We have been told to report any filling station selling more than required because they are buying it cheaper from the depot and selling at crazy about. How can govenment be blamed for a marketer's greed?

so once again, buhari can't control something he does not have because the petrol they disperse are already bought by filling stations owners so government can only count the number of trucks they have been supplied with fuel, using depot record and expect the lack of fuel situation to be clam based on the large number of trucks that have been supplied with fuel but some greedy people are still not selling their yet, while those selling are doing it at higher price which will make scarcity linger on. so how does it indite PMB that people who have bought fuel and now the new owners refuse to sell?

I think Nigerians need to educate themselves by reading constitution. National Assembly own budget appropriation hence Presidency need to tame along to ensure NASS apportion write amount to the line item in the budget, this make NASS to indirectly own the budget. I think we are just misplacing our anger on NASS.

You made no sense, what is happening is that paddy paddy way of doing things is dead in this Govt. under PDP all this story will not be heard since they operate like a cult. No mater the way your like see it, this is the first real budget since the first Republic , we can never be deceived by the antics of PDP and those who want a return of their locust years, True lovers of Democracy no what is happening.

It's the first real budget because they waste so much time about it, from the lies about it being missing and about it being padded?

And if you think this government is so transparent, you need to actually get into ministries to see what is going on. It's just the same old menace with a new face.

That buhari is the president does not mean that corruption disappeared, that suddenly everything is in perfect working order or that his halo has pervaded anywhere. He is corrupt, too. Get over the fact that you voted him in, stop making excuses for lousiness. Democracy indeed. If half the Nigerians had it their way, he wouldn't still be President.

On the contrary, u failed to understand the import of my post. My point is the Executive and Legislature ought to be practical and patriotic enough to play their proper roles and spare us this drama. The Executive is not exempt from blame in this budget fiasco, neither is the Legislature and I made that clear in my post. I will refrain from addressing your level of ignorance at this time, that would be beneath me.

Governance at this level is not supposed to be trial and error. The Executive presented a hurriedly prepared ultimately fraudulent document. The NASS, more populated by the APC is rather interested in frivolous constituency projects introduced into the budget and personal interests. Consequently, Nigerians are at the receiving end because without the passage of this budget, things don't get done and money doesn't circulate.

We cannot afford this manner of incompetence! The flexing of muscles by both arms of the government create unnecessary hardship not to mention the image of stupidity portrayed to the international community.

You are right dear but the truth is impunity in government have been the order since time immemorial. Seems to me this disagreement is for Nigeria good.

IMO, I feel this Govt is been sabotaged but I have no idea if the government is in the know of it ? Or they decided to ignore what is happening.

I beg to disagree with your last paragraph. I do strongly believe that a more dynamic leadership would have been more efficient in steering this country out of its myriad problems without worsening the situation as we have now. I know for a fact that a leader determined to actually set Nigeria on a better course to progress and greatness would have taken stock of the tools it received upon ascension into office and sought to make them fit for purpose. Sheer force of will as we are led to believe the president has is not enough. It is not one man show! The FG in its entirety is structured to run Nigeria as a one-man show and it cannot work. That is why we have not gotten it right till now. The current structure we operate was designed to fail from inception and refusal to change it will only spell more doom.

This centralised system of government is faulty and wired to give undue advantage to some at the detriment of others.. Nigerians are more aware and need to be more involved. No one wants to be pushed around or dictated to anymore and attempts to do that will be strongly resisted. It may be couched as corruption fighting back but in the real sense of it, it is the hens coming home to roost because of persistent application of wrong methods of leadership. This budget crap is only one major symptom. The change needs to be more substantial and fundamental not the superficial fixes being attempted. They will not work!

Bros First and foremost i didn't and never mentioned abroad, so i do not understand what you are reading or seeing.

Besides, it is very ******* to tell someone you don't even know ...........[s]HAVE YOU TRAVELED ABROAD BEFORE? FORGET WHAT YOU SEE ON TV.[/s]

Do you know me or my activities? Oh so you think because most people talk on Nairaland, then they lack internationally exposure. How can you ever judge someone by their text or because they use certain platform?

I try not to judge people or talk about their personal life and that is why i haven't JUDGED Buhari's govt yet because they just started.

Mind you, i am not sentimental and i say things the way they are. Once again, WHY DO YOU THINK I AM A LOYALIST to Buhuari? Do you even know that i didn't VOTE HIM? I can't deny him if i did, after all i'm still openly backing his govt, only based on what i have seen so far. It does not take alot to win someone's heart or loyalty.

I said it in one of my posts that i have seen enuf reason to have faith in him.............. I said HAVE FAITH in case you try to read meaning into it.

I can criticize and judge the last govt because their era has come and gone and we can now say let's look at what they did and score it good or bad. I repeat i can correctly judge that govt but why will i judge a govt that just started and i have seen some promise already. Abi dem they judge football match for first half? Even fifa had to cancel golden goal for football because it doesn't give enuf room for expression.

It is people like you that is spoiling this country because when you see black you call it another name. With all the last govt has done and the revelations that have been made so far, do you still defend such wicked people?

According to you "GEJ and PMB are not the problem of Nigeria". For me, i will always accuse OBJ for being one of the founding fathers that ruin Nigeria and i can now add GEJ to the long list because he had the chance (6 years) to make things better and failed. So how is he not a problem of this country? Did he even try to fight corruption or he promoted it? However, the biggest problem still boils down to the masses who are so blind and sentimental.

Make Buhari fail, i will be among those that will blast him. If he fails, he will be voted out like uncle Goodluck. Chikina cool

I don speak my mind and i go still speak more!
