This is the most fraudulent budget proposal in Nigerian History.

This budget proposal is based on pure VOODOO ECONOMICS.
I wonder where they teach that type of economics.

Oil is at $27 a barrel, and you are basing your budget on $38 a barrel?
What gives?
Which fxxxing retar.ds came up with this brilliant idea ?


Even Saudi Arabia, based their recent budget on $20 oil.

Secondly, so mr. change, mr. simple now needs a N3.9b upgrade in his office in order to do his job properly ?

So Buhari cannot carry out his duties effectively under the very harsh living conditions at ASO Rock at the moment, this moment of great economic uncertainty?

Bad news my fellow countrymen.
We have been duped big time, again.

This is the most hilariously, but seriously fraudulent budget we have seen in this country.

With a first budget like this, I challenge anyone to debate with me why this may not end up being the most corrupt administration Nigerians are going to have the misfortune of living under.

I challenge anyone to try to justify this CUT, PASTE and INFLATE voodoo budget proposal.

I presume the sycophants would respond with a rejoinder in the fullness of time.

Is Nigeria cursed or another thing don involve, how can a Nation keep on having bad leaders consecutively for over 50 years.

To think that a man who has always been preaching modesty and integrity increase appropriation by over 50 percent then go ahead to renovate for over 3 billion..smh

‘A budget that moves domestic spending in Aso Villa from N580m to N1.7bn cannot be a budget of change’

Abuja – Sen. Eyinnaya Abaribe (PDP Abia South) on Wednesday in Abuja, berated the 2016 budget and called on President Muhammaduu Buhari to withdraw it and go back to the drawing board.

Abaribe while making contributions during the consideration of the budget, said the proposal was faulty on many grounds and could not be implemented at it was.

He said that predication of oil benchmark at 38 dollars per barrel when the crude oil price had fallen below 30 dollars per barrel made the budget unrealistic.

Abaribe faulted the government for increasing spending by 30 per cent based on borrowing.

“Mr President, my colleagues, this budget is indeed unique. After the budget presentation, the finance minister has never come to explain the details of the budget as it is normally done.

“It is a budget of change I agree, but it is a change in the wrong direction. I say it is a change in the wrong direction because it says that it is based on zero budgeting requiring all expenses to be fully justified.

“Mr President, a budget that increases spending up to 30 per cent based solely on borrowing, in what way are we justified? That is the question we want to ask the people who brought this budget.

“We know what is going on in the global economy: this budget is predicated on an oil benchmark of 38 dollars per barrel and I can now say that with oil being 28 dollars today, this budget is dead on arrival.

“The job of the opposition is to help the government to get its priorities right, so I want to please urge this government to withdraw this budget and go back to the drawing board,” he said.

The senator also faulted the adjustments made in the budget as well as allocation for spending in the Aso Rock Villa, saying that it was too exorbitant.

He said that the adjustments rather than reduce spending in areas where they were not necessary only spread it into different offices.

“Mr President, a budget that moves domestic spending within Aso Villa from N580 million to N1.7 billion cannot be a budget of change.

“We were told that in the revised budget there was an adjustment due to error, we agree but what has happened is that up to N7 billion were moved from buying vehicles and spread to offices.

“It also increased the spending that is due to renovations within the Villa.

“They are going to renovate the Villa with N3.9 billion: what else do you want to renovate there that Nigerians will see in the Year 2016?” he asked.

However, in his contribution, Sen. Ahmed Lawan (APC Yobe North) blamed the previous administration for the lack of funds due to the embezzlement witnessed in previous governments.

He said that this was the 17th budget he would be debating as a legislator and noted that not more than 40 per cent implementation was achieved in the last 16 years.

“The proposal before us is the first budget where the executive has deemed it necessary to give ordinary Nigerians genuine hope.

“N500 billion allocated for school feeding and social SAFTEY NET is commendable.

“It is time to say oil should not continue to play dominant role as we have suffered economically and politically: it is time to diversify this economy.

“The direction of the executive is the way to go. `That is, we should make every effort to have the real sector-agric mining and manufacturing.

“The budget deserves the support of everyone, including my colleagues on the other side. When we were in the opposition we supported the PDP, they should support us,” he said.

who listen to Igbo senator? they are just there to occupy seat according to constitution, not to talk national affairs.................
They just talk nonsense online to make themselves relevant.

dearpreye:

Baba, ekaro ooooo...
The more things change the more they remain the same.

This is a case of the more you look, the less you see

I am here to read comments. I have seen only one and I have read it.

APC comments shaaa

dearpreye:

Christ is coming soon. Always stand for truth.

Did I post a lie

dearpreye:


There's no sense and honour amongst thieves....there's no empathy amongst then whatsoever. The masses can hug the next transformer...That's their call....

On a personal level, if my income decreases, every expense must decrease. .....That's basic. ...

This is preposterous!!! what sorcery!!They even insult the masses to their face!

otitokoroleti:
cant u see d change? we av both positive & negative change but itz unfortunate that we are experiencing the negative change. We warned Nigerians b4 the election, not because GEJ has satisfied us but because of character/antecedent of the people that formed APC. I know that APC government has nothing good to offer but its unfortunate that tribalism & religion bigotry cant let some people see beyond their nose. E kaaro sir

Omo iya, aku ojumo'ire.

otitokoroleti at lenu bi ewuro ni.

How I wish all state government can publish their FULL Budget, all will see the HIGH LEVEL FRAUD and professional way of looting.


Nigeria Needs a Physician.

dearpreye:


No. Things are worse at the moment.

See hypocrisy.....from 580M to 1.7B? Are they eating platinum rice?

Budget of yams....

Not only Platinum rice bro, also gold plated sauce with Swarovski crystals...

The problem with Nigeria is tribalism, if that budget was made by a government headed by a South easterner or south south president, ewedu and tuwo eating rabbi.ts will not allow us hear a word. They'll be all over the media making useless noise. Now we have a kleptomania cattle rearing, kunu drinking, certificateless dun.ce in power, he's come with a tractor to eat yam. We are yet to see anything. Enjoy the change ride.

This is animal farm...

I blame it on Gej

Let me use this opportunity to call on the attention of all the rice eaters in this forum to explain how expensive rice have become in Aso Rock in the face of dwindling oil price.

Modath, NgeneUkwenu, Omenka , Passingshot ,Gbawe , and host of others too numerous to mention .

TonyeBarcanista:
This 2016 Appropriation bill in all honesty is a big disappointment to Nigerians. What kind of a budget is this? Who does it seek to serve? The masses or the corrupt elite?

pls blame gej becos he caused it.

Nigerians ntoor that is change for you

Firefire:

Robbery or no robbery.... Igbo man must have another opinion............................why is kogi , edo, benue, or other senators not saying it?
Igbos are the less educated in that chamber with Hausa people. how come he can see the robbery and other tribes can not see?.

No reasonable person or organisation take igbo serious...... Just leave them to talk, they are angry that NAS can no longer share money with Ghana must go.
If the presidency had brought Ghana must go to support the budget, we wont hear igbo man talking thrash.

I blame Nigerians who heard 'CHANGE' and voted without asking the type of change, if it's positive or negative...

herringbone:
Honestly I am tired of the whole blame game between the supporters of the two parties and even between the principals.

We the citizens should just hold the ruling class responsible irrespective of their party affiliation pending when the country will be divided.

At this point of our national life, this is just the way forward. What the Op has done is just what you have recommended. Everyday for the past 2months, the so called one nigeria continues to fade away. Civil unrest left right and centre and in all the four corners of Nigeria. The rulling class keep making statements that heat up the fragile polity. Buhari must thread softly as governing Nigeria is not the same thing as been GOC in a miitary formation. The man has no political correctness in all he does thereby casting himself in the mould of a sadist! How can he be talking tough on stamping out corruption while reeling out such an unrealistic and elitist budget? How can they be planning to borrow to fund a budget which largely as can be seen will be food for the boys? Borrowing to eat and not borrowing for infraructure!

What renovations are they doing to the villa that should cost that much in a single year? Was it not the same villa that was ostensibly renovated for months before buhari moved in? Are they building a new villa?
Honestly, political affiliations apart, buhari needs to do a thorough self-check cuase he is leading this country into abyss! True federalism remains the most viable option for starters!

#2pac voice ...STILL I SEE NO CHANGE!

Are we to blame GEJ for a quote of 789 million naira in the budget for 'website update'?

Who recalls the 1st pic

With the way it seems now.. I think we are on for it

Demdem:
Seriously, some line items needs to be expunged completely expecially those that can't be explained in the whole budget. Let the NASS do the needful and do so and stop boring us with their noise.That's one of the reasons why they were elected. To checkmate the executives.

You suddenly started sounding civilized ? What happened ?

I guess the juju they gave to you is clearing gradually from your eyes .
Sorry to inform you that you've been scammed .
Oya shout 'change' three times to come back to your normal senses.

When you mention me in a manner that suggest you are taunting me, I would hardly turn up and you can't do anything about it. Just so you know.

That said, there's been grey areas in the budget from day one (no budget is ever perfect) which I criticised, especially the allocation for cars. I was glad to see that it was changed to reflect the mood of the nation. This as well, if true, is a no no for me.

You guys should understand, the document is a PROPOSAL as we speak and can be amended over and over again until we arrive at a consensus document- that is the reason we have a legislature.

You people are too darn emotional and could hardly analyse issues dispassionately. Tarry for now but bare your fangs when it is eventually passed without those areas you find unacceptable amended.

How long would you keep licking the wounds from your defeat??

May God deliver Nigeria.
