OP, that you post only the SR tweet even though the first reply exposed their lies makes me believe you deliberately tried to do exactly what SR is doing, misleading people with falsehood.

By the way, that house is something a managerial staff in my office can own so what's the big deal about that house

This OP seems to be mischievous, why not post the tweets from Okupe and others that actually exposed Saharareporters on this lie?

Same reception they give a visiting president.
Have you seen a president welcome in his own country before? Especially someone who travels almost every week.

Aufbauh:
DOLLAR = N197

Please let me explain to those of us who don't understand Economic terms. Dollar has not increased since Buhari became president

1. Dollar is not our currency so dollar should not be our business

2. Our problem is not d government but
our problem is our importers and consumers

3. Naira has remained at 197 naira to 1 dollar since Buhari became president

4. Buhari has promised not to devalue the Naira and he has maintained that promise

5. Both at CBN and at interbank rates,
dollar has remained 197

6. However because we are too lazy to produce what we use in Nigeria we import even toothpicks and matches

7. Buhari does not like d importation of luxury goods because luxury goods is d reason for most corruption, that is why he banned 41 products from having access to forex

8. However when Nigerian importers insisted on importing those 41
products, FG asked them to find their dollar at d BDCs parallel market also known as black market

9. And to discourage the pressure Nigerians are mounting on the Naira just to get dollars for importation, CBN banned DMBs from selling dollars to BDCs

10. To survive the pressure of excess
dollar demands, BDCs resorted to sourcing for dollars from neighbouring countries through illicit money laundering routes

11. Because of the risks faced by BDCs to source for dollars, and because of the increase in demand for dollars by importers because China just resumed from their business holidays, BDCs keep increasing the price at which they exchange dollars to naira and now it is 400 Naira to 1 dollars

12. However that does not mean
that govt has changed the exchange rate because if our genuine importers go to CBN and fill Form M to import raw materials for local production, they will get dollars at 197 naira each

13. So the problem is that we love to consume luxury foreign products yet we are too lazy to manufacture them here.

14. For example u will see a dull girl using
iPhone 5 without even knowing simple physics and computer engineering part of how that phone was produced

15. I want Buhari to ban every foreign
product from Nigeria until Nigerians learn to produce and use Made in Nigeria products

16. Let us stop complaining about dollar as if dollar has become Nigeria's currency

17. It is even bad enough that most of those complaining about the high exchange rate of dollar do not have 1 single dollar in their purse.

#Copied.

Suddenly it's now the fault of Nigerians that Naira is crashing?
But when it crashed to N197 under GEJ it was GEJ's fault?
Even though we know GEJ pushed for local content in automobile, agriculture and even oil sector.
Zombies keep deceiving zombies

Tokety7:
Who cares what greedy criminals do in the parallel market. Left to me below is the real exchange rate.

I hope you know this was the exchange rate when GEJ was in office and APC printed billboards and were on TV blasting him for Naira crash using black market rate?

With all the razzmatazz, EFCC has not been able to get conviction against anyone.
They'll rather blame the judiciary for not prostrating and doing Buhari's bidding.

9jatriot:
I'll take ur advice. thanks

Visit this thread and be ashamed of yourself for defending the fraud.
https://www.nairaland.com/2940790/buhari-produced-most-embarrassing-budget

Anyone defending that fraud called budget is wicked and heartless. You do not love Nigeria even if you pretend to do so.
The fraudulent appropriations for the presidency alone is enough to make Buhari resign or be impeached.

Blaming the DG is the most hypocritical thing to do. And some zombies have decided to pause their brains, they'll rather defend the indefensible as they've been programmed to do.

It's even an indictment on Buhari to sack the DG but refuse to withdraw same fraud he sacked the man for.

9jatriot:
Corrected right. Needs more correction.
If u want the presidency come and impeach him. The train to move this nation forward has left the station, it may yet be in its first gear but slowly but surely it will gather steam. For some of us, the nations interest is paramount.

If you have the nation's interest you won't have supported Buhari in the first place. Not after his wreck in 1983-85 that is now repeating today.
Soon you may start queuing up to get milk and other essential commodities. By then you'll be forced to wake up from your slumber and deceit

9jatriot:
thank u. d presidency invariably admits that the budgets needs to be corrected

Mr man or whoever you are, stop deceiving yourself. That budget has been "corrected" already and we still have over 1.5trn fraud in it.
In a sane clime, Buhari would have been impeached.
Not everyone is an APC zombie.

9jatriot:
Hiiiiii, has d budget been passed the way it is yet? is the government not making effort to correct d budget rather dan try to force it through? have minister not rejected d error filled ones? withdrawal of the budget can be done by deleting d wrong figures and putting in d correct figures, it must not be in d way prescribed by fayose.

Are you for real? The president and his party admitted the budget is filled with strange items and figures. He tried to get it out through the back door, they were exposed. He finally "made corrections" to the errors and returned it. yet the strange items and figures are still there. Then he accused some people, sacked others and then is "waiting for the budget to be passed or fixed by NASS?"
Are you even listening to yourself? If Buhari agrees that "Budget Mafia" inserted those strange items and figures that ministers have now come out to deny, shouldn't he ask to withdraw the budget, remove the fraud and represent it? If he does that we all know that budget won't be more than N4 trillion.

The only acceptable thing right now would be to withdraw the budget, remove the fraud, from Presidency to the least parastatal and then apologize to Nigeria. That budget should not be more than 4.5 trillion. The rest is plain fraud and attempt to loot.

9jatriot:
Hell no, I never said so. I am saying that it is a good thing that these errors were detected giving us an opportunity to correct it. That has been my position since I have been having this discuss with snailspeed.

I am surprise that you think that I want it passed like that when the last paragraph of what you quoted says otherwise.

Hellooooo, has Buhari recalled the budget after "sacking those who put the "errors" in it?"
Has he removed the "errors" for which they were sacked?

9jatriot:
While it is true that the budget has been an embarrassing situation, we are glad to know that it was not swept under the carpet as we know that the previous government would have done. This is the kind of budget that we have been passing year in year out and has led to no development and has resulted in no development. I am glad that for once the parliament is really doing its oversight function for once. I said it before and will say it again, PDP did APC and Nigeria a great favour without knowing by pointing out the errors. Nigeria will be better off for it.

At the highlighted, pray tell when we ever passed 6 trillion budget?
Also, are you aware when there was outcry by the people in government concerning Jonathan's 1bn food he reduced the figure?
The people who cried that he reduced it came into office less than one year later and increased the figure by 70%. Is something not wrong with you for trying to defend this embarrassment?

snailspeed:

I have seen some APC youths go on social media to celebrate the sacking of the DG of the budget office. Question is, what does that take away from the monumental budget fraud? Was the budget of the ministries written by the budget office. The ministers have all gone to the NASS to defend their budgets. I didnt see anyone whose budget was written by the budget office and the ministers are all walking free and laughing at the rest of us.

This is a most shameful note in the history of this country but we must continue to call out Buhari and his governance team. If we sleep for one moment, we might all wake one day to see some rich Arab sheik has bought the country and has the C of O.

At the bolded, Buhari did not withdraw the fraudulent budget, he did not apologize to Nigerians but he sacked a DG

How can one sack the DG and leave the same fraudulent budget in NASS for it to be passed? Same budget for which he blamed Budget Mafia and sacked some people. If it's fraudulent enough to sack people, why has it not been withdrawn and every fraudulent line item removed.

The foolishness on many here is that they ignored Oyo and Yobe in this headline in which SAME BASIS was used by Supreme Court (also in Lagos, Kaduna etc) to uphold APC governors elected.

In the same headline, it's okay for APC states but bad for PDP states

uboma:
Pat Utomi should shut up the hell-up and focus on his church

vikacydevato:
Mr economist, go and contest for presidency.

APC zombies can be very foolish at times.

A man who runs the only credible business school in Nigeria and a renown economist is talking and some want to believe Buhari a school dropout and a man who has zero knowledge of economy.

By the time Buhari is finished with the economy, you will wail more than any group.

Pat Utomi Tells Buhari To Shut Up, Says Buhari Knows Nothing About Economy (VIDEO)


Professor Pat Utomi has criticized President Muhammadu Buhari for the statement he made in Kenya saying that he would not devalue the Naira. Professor Pat Utomi stated categorically that President Buhari had no knowledge of the economy and should allow those who do speak on the matter.

“The economic situation is a very big issue and there are many problems that have converged. We are just paying for our sins. We are paying for not having done what we should have done. Who gets a windfall for a very long time? Oil is a very volatile commodity…we had a big boom but we squandered everything.”

”We need a disciplined and focused political leadership at this time. Unfortunately, I don’t think we are quite there.”

“Somebody like him should not be talking about such things. Keep quiet…he has created a major problem for the Nigerian economy by that statement”.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Economic policies have been criticized lately with the Financial Times UK describing them as the‘height of foolishness’

The budget has not become a living document. Part of t y e reasons the NASS exists is to perform oversight functions on the budget so that unwanted and unnecessary allocations are removed.

So, don't die before death comes knocking.

The budget is a statement of intent. NASS is only there to ensure they don't succeed in the attempt to loot our common wealth. Except that I hardly trust the NASS guys. They're also corrupt like Buhari and company.

Even Omojuwa, APC's lapdog is wailing about the fraud called budget.

The budget is a barn of yam for APC and their cronies.

Save 12b my fair as*

This is the fourth piece in the #SaatahBudgetSeries. We’ve weighed in on and analysed the budget of the Presidency, the Federal Ministry of Defence and the Federal Ministry of Foreign and Intergovernmental Affairs. Today, we move to the next budget in the series; the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture—that’s the Ministry headed by Lai Mohammed, the former APC spokesman.

45,162,778,886, that’s the total allocation given to the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture. From this amount, 39,172,778,886 will be spent on “Recurrent Expenditure” while 5,990,000,000 will be spent on “Capital Expenditure.”

Before we progress, let me lay out the agencies and institutions that fall under the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture. They are as follows: Federal Ministry of Information and Culture—HQTRS, Nigerian Television Authority, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, News Agency of Nigeria, Voice of Nigeria, Nigerian Film Corporation, National Broadcasting Commission, Nigeria Press Council, National Film and Video Censors Board, Advertising Practitioners of Nigeria, Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation, National Commission for Museums and Monuments, National Council for Arts and Culture, Centre for Black African Arts and Culture, National Troupe of Nigeria, National Theatre, National Gallery of Art, National War Museum (Umuahia), National Institute of Hospitality and Tourism Development Studies, National Institute for Culture Orientation, Institute of Archaeological and Museum Studies, and National Orientation Agency.

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE

Let’s start with the 210,000,000 budgeted by the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture for the “Construction/Provision of Recreational Facilities.” I see this particular item as unnecessary and an avenue for corrupt dealings. Compare that with the 2,995,239 the Ministry of Environment will spend on the “Construction/Provision of Recreational Facilities” for the Cross River National Park. 563,616,472 will also be spent on the “Procurement of Specialized Printing Machine, Equipment and Accessories.” Now, here is my problem with this particular line item; “Specialized Printing Machine” is a vague description of what is to be purchased. With such huge amount budgeted for that item, it would be good to know exactly what type of “Specialized Printing Machine” we’re buying. Is it one to be used in the printing of foreign currencies or letterheads? (Don’t laugh), we would love to know. Making it vague doesn’t help in any way.

NTA will spend 23,520,000 to “Migrate from Analog to Digital Transmission.” I might be wrong, but I think NTA has been “Migrating” from “analog to digital transmission” since I was born. It would be a thing of great joy if they migrate successfully and completely this year—I’m quite sure “analog” has gotten tired of them hanging around.

The News Agency of Nigeria will spend 230,822,823 on the “Purchase of Computers.” You would think they have been operating in the pre-computer era and are trying to “migrate.” Well, let’s compare with what the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology will spend on the “Purchase of Computers,” 91,394,900. In essence, the News Agency of Nigeria will spend 250% more to “Purchase Computers” than the Ministry of Science and Technology. Just in case you’re wondering what the News Agency of Nigeria is, know that they’re just a state-run news reporting agency.

The Voice of Nigeria (VON) will spend 361,408,755 for the “Construction/Provision of Electricity.” The budget for the National Rural Electrification Agency shows that it can use that same amount to electrify 15 communities in Enugu State.

You see the National Film and Video Censors Board, err… I don’t know what is happening there and I’m not sure they do either. They’ll spend 5,866,500 on “Trainings on Public Sector Reforms, TSA, Federal Budgeting and Performance Monitoring on Zero Based, Fixed Asset Management, Taxation and Public Sector Treasury Management under Zero Based Budgeting.” You’re probably trying to figure out if this is the Ministry of Budget Planning or Finance, I was wondering the same thing too till I found out that they budgeted another 634,000 for the same thing. The people who work here need to explain to us what their job is. The National Film and Video Censors Board budgeted 1,668,000 for “Legal Advising, Law Library Maintenance, Prosecution of Cases and Defence of the Boards’ Activities. Issuance of Demand Notices.” The amount budgeted for this item seems moderate, but here is the thing; the people who made this budget probably forgot that there was a separate 9,550,663 for “Legal Services.”

The National Tourism Development Corporation has budgeted 338,117,300 for the “Purchase of Recreational Facilities.” That’s it. They didn’t tell us what kind of recreational facilities, how many, or where they’ll/it’ll be located. They also budgeted a separate 30,000,000 for the “Construction/Provision of Recreational Facilities.”

The National Commission on Museum and Monuments will spend 193,910,995 on “Research and Development” and another 134,697,184 on “Monitoring and Evaluation.”

The National Council on Arts and Culture will spend 23,512,000 on “Anniversaries/Celebrations” while 42,647,500 will be spent on the “Operation Cost of the Programme.”

National Troupe of Nigeria will spend 140,911,157 to “Purchase Computers,” more than what the Ministry of Science and Technology will spend on same item in their budget, 91,394,900.

The Institute of Museum and Archaeological Studies (Jos) will spend its ENTIRE Capital budget on “Electricity Charges.”

The entire capital budget of the National Orientation Agency will be spent on the “Construction/Provision of Office Buildings,” all 468,379,798 of it.

We’ve come to the end of the fourth part of this series. I feel this budget has to be totally rewritten and a large part of it entirely expunged. What we have is a budget made by people who seem to be in a bubble when it comes to the economic situation the country finds itself in at the moment. That needs to change. We need a budget that is written according to our scale of preference as a nation.

As I leave you to reason accordingly based on what you’ve just read, as usual, I’ll add a little in-between: The Nigerian Immigration Service will spend 450,000,000 on “Solar Powered Boreholes.” Have a wonderful day!

This is the fifth part of the #SaatahBudgetSeries. This part promises to be the most interesting of all Ministries whose budgets I’ve analysed so far. With a budget increase of over 200%, the Federal Ministry of Interior should have a lot to offer us.

The total budget for the Federal Ministry of Interior stands at 498,453,097,241; 428,374,007,241 out of the total budget is allocated for “Recurrent Expenditure” while the remaining, a rather meagre 70,079,090,000 has been allocated for “Capital Expenditure.”

Firstly, following our tradition since the beginning of this budget analysis series, I’ll outline the agencies and institutions that find themselves under the Federal Ministry of Interior, so as to pass my message across in a very clear and understandable form. These agencies/institutions are as follows: Federal Ministry of Interior—HQTRS, Nigerian Prison Service, Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Civil Defence, Immigration and Prison Service Board (CIPD), Custom, Immigration, Prison Pension Office (CIPPO), Federal Fire Service, Police Pension Board, Nigeria Police Academy , Police Formation and Command HQTRS.

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INTERIOR

“Fellow Nigerians” the Federal Ministry of Interior has a budget for books. Err actually this isn’t a red flag, instead I find it beautiful, that since our President didn’t see reading as important enough to put it in his budget, others have decided to read. Now let’s begin the analysis in earnest. The Federal Ministry of Interior has a budget of 347,750,647 for the “Purchase of Computers.” In 2013, the Federal Ministry of Interior “Purchased Computers” worth 75,343,403. This year, they’ve taken their maddening wasteful spending 450% percent higher, to a towering 347,750,647. This is more than the total amount budgeted by the Ministry of Science and Technology on the same item for three years; 2014, 2015 and 2016.

The Federal Ministry of Interior has also appropriated the sum of 576,500,000 for the “Construction/Provision of Electricity.” I don’t know, but what I’ve deduced from that budget is that the Federal Ministry of Interior must have been operating with lanterns and candles since inception. Nothing else justifies the spending of such a huge amount of money. If you’re wondering what 576,500,000 can achieve, it’ll electrify 33 communities; 30 communities in Ondo and 3 communities in the FCT according to the budget of the National Rural Electrification Agency.

In 2014, the Federal Ministry of Interior budgeted 88,706,193 for the “Repair/Rehabilitation of Office Buildings,” while in the 2015 budget, it was 24,464,846. In the 2016 budget, the “Rehabilitation/Repairs Office Buildings,” that was done in 2104 and 2105, “elephantined” by almost 2500% to 595,606,148. Another thing I want you to know is that according to the 2014 budget, the Ministry of Interior building was damaged by a storm, and the 24,464,846 in the 2015 budget was for storm damaged rehabilitation, compare with the 595,606,148 in the 2016 budget.

The Federal Ministry of Interior will spend 6,200,000,000 on “Research and Development”. Firstly, that is more than the budget for the Ministry of Women Affairs, 3,974,395,038. To put this in perspective, 32 Agricultural Research Institutes and Colleges will spend a cumulative total of 4,411,236,320 on “Research and Development.”

The 2016 budget takes a very predictable trend. I have noticed that where the drafters of the budget don’t find creative ways to budget money that’ll probably end up in personal bank accounts; they put it under “Research and Development.” The Federal Ministry of Interior isn’t different in any away, everything about this budget smells of high level graft and the budget for “Research and Development” does more than prove this. The funny thing about this is that, when the items are broken down, the amount for “Research and Development” is only 200,000,000 and the bulk of the money, 6,000,000,000 ends up going to the “Special Intervention Fund for Police Formations and Command.” While the Police Formation and Command with a total budget of 300,100,330,698 didn’t give a breakdown of how it plans to spend its capital budget.

The Nigerian Prison Service has a budget of 3,519,266,507 for the “Construction/Provision of Prisons” and another 5,093,363,237 for the “Rehabilitation/Repairs of Prisons.” The problem here isn’t the amount budgeted for these items. Such huge sums have been budgeted over the years, but yet our prison system remains the same or sometimes gets worse than it was met. I hope these monies will be channelled and properly utilised.

I feel the funniest part of the budget for the Nigerian Prison Service is the part where 500,000,000 was budgeted for “Research and Development. “Further breakdown shows that that amount will actually be spent on “Capacity Building.” Talking of a real building, according to the budget of the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, we can spend that same amount to get 6 blocks of 3 classrooms.

The Nigerian Immigration Service will spend 200,000,000 to “Acquire Land.” It is an open secret that government doesn’t buy land, they “collect” and “pay compensation”. I’d love to know how they plan to spend the 200,000,000 set aside of that purpose or maybe they’re compensating an entire village.

2,120,000,450 is what the Nigerian Immigration Service will spend on “Security Equipment.” That’s an increase of over 800% from the 2014 budget for same item which stood at 258,000,000 and a 2500% increase from the 2015 budget where same item had a budget of 86,057,143.

The Nigerian Immigration Service spent 250,000,000 to “Construct Office Buildings” in 2014 and 133,302,386 in 2015. In the 2016 budget, the Nigerian Immigration Service changes the game; they have a budget of 1,301,229,706 for the same item. That’s an increase of over 400% from the 2014 budget and almost 1000% increase from the 2015 budget. There’s also a separate 500,000,000 that is meant for the “Rehabilitation/Repairs of Office Buildings.”

The Nigerian Immigration Service will also spend 450,000,000 for the “Provision of Solar Powered Boreholes.” They also want to spend 1,300,214,210 on the “Purchase of Patrol and Operational Vehicles.” Now, here’s the problem; they also budgeted another 1,385,131,167 for the “Purchase of All Terrain Vehicles for Land Patrol.” I would love to know the difference between these two items because they look like the same thing to me, “Patrol Vehicles.”

The Federal Fire Service has budgeted 5,622,131,167 for the “Procurement of Fire Fighting Equipment for Existing Fire Station in Abuja and Lagos.” Another 749,943,030 is budgeted for “Rehabilitation of Firefighting Equipment (Abuja and Lagos).” There seems to be an agreement that the rest of the country can burn to the ground.

The Police Formation and Command HQTRS failed to give a detailed breakdown of what their 17,009,090,000 capital budget will be used for.

We have come to the end of the fifth part of my budget analysis series. What I’ve noticed with the budget for the Federal Ministry of Interior isn’t entirely different from what I’ve noticed with other Ministries; there is an inflation of budget sums in a lot of areas and there also exists some very unnecessary/vague items put in the budget with millions (or billions in some cases) allocated to them.

As I leave you to apply rational reasoning concerning this budget, let me add a little in-between: In the 2015 budget for the Ministry of Land and Housing, 200,000,000 was set aside for the “Completion of Construction of a Mausoleum and Library Complex in Honour of Late Rt. Hon. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe.” In this year’s budget for the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, 1,143,575,058 is budgeted for the same item. Another 137,552,031 will be spent on “Provision of Furnishings in the New Mausoleum and Library Complex in Honour of Late Rt. Hon. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe.” Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe must be clapping in his grave for this Houdini-like stunt.

The Governor of Ekiti state, Governor Ayodele Fayose has dared the ruling party and president on the claim that he own properties in Dubai.
See tweets.

DropShot:

So, you expect a right thinking person not to question these pictures without hard proof of the claim?

Where is the project sign board that's normally erected at any major project work of this nature?

The same way you question everything Buhari said right?
Or is it the numerous lies by APC, Lai Mohammed, Buhari, Elrufai, Amaechi, Oshiomole, DSS, EFCC and Saharareporters? Do you question them as "a right thinking person" too.

Did you ask Amaechi for proof when he said what he said? Did he show you pictures of the site to confirm his claim. Mumu

DropShot:
This picture could be any random one.

How does this convince anyone it is at the site proposed for the university?

Wow! Just when you think you've heard the worst.
Maybe the location is in Mars so no one can get pictures of it right?
Same thing that governor with diarrhea of the mouth said about 2nd Niger bridge. The excuse to give when they want to abort a project where they don't want it.

Pathetic!

Proof that Amaechi lied Maritime University is only at ‘feasibility

Proof has emerged that the Minister of Transportation and Aviation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi lied concerning the Nigerian Maritime University.

The ministetr while trying to justify the Federal Government’s decision to scrap the Nigerian Maritime University told the Senate Committee on Marine Transport that there was no work on the Permanent site of the Maritime University in Okerenkoko, Delta state and insisted that what was on ground was “just the feasibility study”.

Amaechi said; “Whoever that is holding on to the money should better return it. The Chinese company contracted, confirmed that only the feasibility study was in place.”

According to photographic evidence gathered by our correspondent who visited the site of the Maritime University, contractors were seen on working on site with heavy duty equipment, while buildings were captured at various phases of construction contrary to Mr. Amaechi’s claims.

According to our correspondent, the temporary site of the Maritime University in Kurutie, Warri South-West of Delta state was equipped with necessary structures and facilities and was set to admit students into the 2016 Academic year pending the completion of structures at the permanent site.

A resident of the community who spoke to our correspondent said that there was no truth to claims by Mr. Amaechi as work was ongoing, he said that the contractors were being arrested while working on the site.

Other residents groaned that the Government was sending a wrong signal to the community as that is what they got from having a son of the Niger Delta as President. They remarked that in spite of the difficult terrain of the area where it is difficult to get sand, the contractors remained on site and dismissed the Ministers comment as uncharitable and sending a wrong signal.

The ground breaking ceremony was performed by former President Goodluck Jonathan on the 10th of May, 2014 while the Federal Executive Council approved the decision for the school to take off in 2015.
