Both the president and vice president are not working together as a Team. This is because any information coming from the latter would be denied by the former.

Didn't Buhari say it's better to set up industries with the money? Who will come believe now? Waithing For Shehu Garba or Femi Adesina to come up with a counter-statement. APC- decieving Nigerians since the days of Methuselah...

So many good plans but very poor implementation.

We hope the budget is signed soon so we can start judging this government

Well I just hope things get better soon
God bless Nigeria!!!

I prophecy that this statement will be denied in July/August. Where is this captured in the embattled 2016 budget? And where is a social security database?

Good news
God bless pmb God bless gej God punish obj God bless yaradua God bless Nigeria

this man just they use less for this government, he goes about saying thrash. osinbajo is a MERE COMMISSIONER, TRUTH NO SAY MAKE WE NO TALK AM

These APC guys b like rappers men, releasing new singles every week.

Latest single title:

"Here we go again" feat DMX

expect another single in a few months titled:

"It wasn't me" feat shaggy

LOL .. They allowed inflation to chop the money finish before they will pay ..

They should get bags of rice and distribute to people so they can appreciate Fayose's effort on enriching people's lives through stomach infrastructure.


N5k cannot buy half bag of rice again in Nigeria!

I prophecy that this statement will be denied in July/August. Where is this captured in the embattled 2016 budget? And where is a social security database to be used? Meanwhile 'the poor' is too ambiguous as a demographic concept. Why is it that when people go into Aso Rock, they seem to lose their senses?

paid from which data base? Ndi ara

The APC government is neither here nor there, how do you pay N5000 to the vulnerable in the society and at the same time stop them from using the money for drugs, crime or better still having the money stolen from them, but if you teach a trade or employ them in a farm then you would have put them into societal benefits.




Nigeria is the only other country linking 2 costal port cities by rail enough of the shameful economic policies , why not use a fraction of the money to develop calabar ports to a deep sea port.

Notice that this is the only project that pdp states are benefiting from in the sham budget which I urge all pdp legislators to reject totally

Confuseus say - "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail".

government that cannot make a budget, you think they can implement the budget?

WHERE ARE THE BUHARI WORSHIPPERS?

In 1983 Buhari toppled the Shagari administration and imposed intense hardship. The hardship continued untill his administration was toppled by IBB. IBB, though corrupt, was much better than Buhari. He was a benevolent dictator.

1n 2015, as soon as Buhari became President, hardship started. Now, no tier of government can meet its financial obligations. Nigeria is indeed sinking.

We must "burn" the Buhari Shrine because it is a shrine of hardship and badluck. Why are the Buhari worshippers criticising the man? Are they just knowing that they worship a "god" of hardship and ill-luck?
When I hear the choruses of disapproval of Buharinomics from Wole Soyinka, Femi Falana Ahmed Tinubu and wife and their horde of worshippers in Buhari's Shrine, I am reminded of how an unholy marriage can easily be terminated.

The question I keep asking is: are the Buhari worshippers too ashamed to admit that the administration for 11 months cannot even perform a simple ritual of passing the national budget?

This evil "broom" must be burnt!

It seems Buhari and Osinbajo are not on the same page on this issue. The President has told us he won't be paying for idleness, what then is this insistence by the Vice President that the money will be paid?
