I cannot seriously believe that this is a cause for jubilation, as I see here. The budget for the year 2016, being signed 5 months into the year, and supposedly literate Nigerians are dancing? Amazing!

At last, we now have a budget without padding

Wonder whether they expect us to begin to jubilate or mourn over what has befallen our nation. A budget that ought to be professionally handled and treated with precision delivery has dragged on due to the activities of dead woods put in place to run the affairs of this our country.

Honestly, Whoever made Nigerians like this is truly wicked, that a president voted into power through the peoples mandate will delay the budget for this long yet had time to be gallivanting up and down and here we are some people are applauding this unjustified delay in getting the economy started. We'll let us watch and see how they will implement it. Time will tell.

I hope they include the calabar-Lagos rail project , the appropriate money for the second Niger bridge and lagos Ibadan road project in the budget.

You're the illiterate here. The implementation of the 2015 budget ended at the end of March 2016, not December 2015.

And the problem continues. For those of you who may get it twisted, budget signing is not in anyway a relief rather it is a financial burden to be Financed by all Nigerians through borrowings, utilisation of treasury funds for whatever the Senate had agreed to spend money on.

Budget signing doesn't reflect on direct needs of Nigerians. In situations where it represents general needs such as building more power plants, it doesn't mean it will be implemented.

Nigerian budget list is more like a shopping list for the political class.

They should make the budget available online for public scrutiny.

Dear Nigerian
Kindly understand that positive change does not come easy expecially considering the climes we are in Nigeria.
Corruption has seriously eaten deep into the fabric of our national and to some extents our family values.
It is normal for some certain things to be accepted now as long as it's involves money.
We need to support The President, Buhari in his effort to cleanse the system of these anomaly.
Let's slow down in our negative criticism (if we must, show were you would have done it differently) Let all join hands together to fight the evil muster call corruption to a good finish else we will be preparing the country for a grazing land for the strong and corrupt.
Nigeria will be the greatest nation on Mother Earth
Let's prepare our children for the challenge.
Thank you all.

Lol.
It is not wailing. Honestly I didn't know until when the fiscal year for 2016 began someone pointed it out. I made some research & then the correction.

But I'm not staying back to watch though, I'm part of the process in my own little way.

Finally, the government can settle down and start fixing the economic problems of the country. Kudos to the president for standing his ground and ensuring that all the major projects proposed in the budget are not watered down or removed by the legislatures for selfish reasons. For once, we have a budget that is implementable and not one paddled with ridiculous constituency projects by the National Assembly.

Nigerians voted for change and the process leading to the passage and signing of this budget clearly showed a departure from the past where Ghana must go bags play a major role in the passage. But most importantly, implementing the 30% capital allocation to the letter and the fulfilment of so many promises made by the APC to the Nigerian people will go a long way in confirming if truly, change is here.
Slow down a bit. lets pray the whole go down as planned. the day the budget was released to NASS, Same trash you wrote was all over the internet after the paddy paddy. How Far

He did it in the presence of the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, and the chairmen of the National Assembly appropriation committees who had arrived the Presidency for the[b] signing ceremony.[/b]

Today’s event comes after the National Assembly submitted a clean copy of the budget to the President.

The President had withheld assent after some alterations were noticed in the document.

The government announced yesterday it had mapped out 34 strategic priority programmes and projects it intended to achieve with the 2016 budget.

These include a capital spend minimum of 30% annually, an appropriate and predictable exchange regime by the end of 2016, increased low interest lending rate of 9%, self-sufficiency in tomato paste in 2016 and rice production by 2018.

It also plans to increase local production of maize, soya beans, poultry and livestock and to stop import.
