Young man, it is obvious you only watch nta and visit nairaland. I listened to Udo Udoma on Channels with my friend Seun Okinbaloye...Udoma expressed pessimism about the budget and he even said that they are likely to review it as they rely on some experts's decision to benchmark the oil price at 38.....From what I gathered after the interview, it was obvious a thorough job was not done, and the minister has no exclusive say in the whole budget. Even Saudi Arabia with her huge reserves cut budget by 14%. We are talking about diversification as if it is a short term thing, and we can't even budget enough for agriculture compared to what information and culture ministry got. We are talking about borrowing when there is no productivity and capacity utilization..
The number 1 problem of Nigeria and Africa is inadequate knowledge, and that's Y we don't ask questions..we just believe whatever we are told.

This is 2016 who watches NTA?
If Udoma actually expressed pessimism about a budget he is supposedly in charge of, then he is not as smart as the author thinks which brings me back to my point, the author judgement can't be trusted.

As for the bold part, in the short and even long term, the Information and Culture ministry has a higher revenue generating potential than the Agricultural ministry.

ALVA001:
As usual. Femi d chief wailer, never seen anything good in Buhari. Wake up man d hate is consuming you. Cant even wait for implementation b4 ds gibberrish.
Wailers are liable to die young.

Could you look beyond the man?

What part of what he said is untrue?

AZeD1:
The author says

he then goes on to say

The irony is so glaring i find it hard to believe the author is oxford trained.

A man of integrity would not put his name on a document he cannot defend so if Mr Udoma is a man of integrity and as intelligent as the author claims then Mr Udoma would have had a lot to say as far as this budget is concerned and the budget is most likely his brain child.

The article just shows the author hates the president and is finding every possible means to knock him but given that his friend (whom he can vouch for) is in charge, he first tries to exonerate his friend(that is not held against his will) before bashing the president and his party.

That is why nobody listens to aribisala due to his popular hatred for PMB.

As any one noticed that both the chief proponents and major critics of this administration are Yorubas?

ALVA001:
As usual. Femi d chief wailer, never seen anything good in Buhari. Wake up man d hate is consuming you. Cant even wait for implementation b4 ds gibberrish.

he may be a waiver, but he has unveiled some facts.

obailala:
Femi Aribisala is an alter ego of FFK. Only wailers are advised to read any trash proceeding from him.

Why don't you dispute his claims instead of trying to hide from the truth. The truth always prevails, remember that.

A dullard will always exhibit dull characters

Goke7:
Aribisala should know by now, that his anti-buhari stance has not in any way reduce the popularity of PMB among Nigerians, in fact baba's popularity keeps rising as some wailers are beginning to change their minds with the mind blowing theft of pdp over 16 yrs being revealed currently.

The dirty job aribisala keeps doing for the pdp is killing the once largest party in africa faster than imagined.

OK, fine. Agreed Aribisala is a cheif wailer and he's killing pdp but can u pls forget the messanger and focus on d message?. can u counter all what he said? pls we should not just support PMB blindly but criticize him when he goes wrong. how will the ministry of information receive More budget than that of agriculture, does it sounds logical to u? after all the shouts about diversifying the economy. I know APC and PMB mean well for Nigeria but they don't av brain and vision to lead this country. God help us

micayo:

I have read too many of his wailings in the past both B4 and after the elections. I obviously didnt bother reading this one, just the same way I dont bother reading the daily churn-out of poo coming from FFK anymore.

That enhances the claim that most of APC pathetic followers are hypocrites. You didn't read the post yet you comment ignorantly. That's very bad and you need to start being objective. That's the only way Nigeria can move forward.

Nope, I made it very clear I wasnt going to read the post and I never pretended like I had read it; I already have an idea of what Femi Aribisala and FFK are made of.

By the way, do you even know the definition of the word 'Hypocrite' which you just used?... Or did you just use the word because you see most of your colleagues use it?

You are the one in need of schooling as regards the word 'hypocrisy'.

Those two you mentioned are more eloquent than any APC executive member. You might not be able to comprehend what they write because of IQ variation though.

You say they write thrash yet you don't read what they write. How does that make any sense?

Hmmm. Nigerians I hail thee.

ALVA001:
No peace 4 d wailer.

Give point by point rebuttal of the excellent critique of the budget.

Bevista:
Femi Aribisala should just stick to political analysis and just leave economic analysis alone. I could pick enough holes in most of what he wrote there but that would just take another long epistle, so I'll pass.

OKAY JUST PICK ONE IF THERE IS HOLE IN WHAT YOU READ. ALWAYS RUBBISH COMING OUT FROM D apc govt and the supportee

Excellent critique. Femi Aribisala always on point. I still remember the resounding criticism of the Jonathan presidency when 1billion naira was budgeted for food. Now Buhari is budgeting 1.75billion naira.
We have really entered one chance with this president.

dridowu:
If i can endure the 16 years of PDP, then wailers should taka a chill till May 29 2019 when the next president will be sworn in or Buhari continues

BECAUSE YESTERDAY WAS EVIL I SHOULD CONTINUE WITH WORST EVIL TODAY JUST because A northana is involved. no be your fault afterall we are under one canopy called nigeria

Was Femi this articulate under Jonathan? He seems to love this government.

The truth is that most Nigerians were more concerned about seeing Jonathan go (including myself) that they would have voted a loaf of bread into office if that was the only other option. This government had no articulate plans to move this country forward and it will take a while for Nigeria to get everything right.

Nigerians will be fine;let's get the looters into jail first, recover stolen funds and see what happens next.

MY BRO AM TALKING BASED ON FACTS NOT PROPAGANDA, I EXPERIENCED THE THE EVIL IN PDP TIME BUT I MUST CONFESS THAT WHAT I AM SEEING CRO CRO UNDER THIS SO CALLED -change is unimaginable i.e more than 'worst evil' HOW ON EARTH WIL U EXPLAIN ASOROCK BUDGET IS FAR MORE THAN WHAT WE HAD UNDER GEJ IN A TIME WHEN OIL HAD DECLINE MORE THAN 80%. MUST U PROVE TO US THAT U ARE A -VE CHANGE AGENT. for God Sake must we hear negative story from apc every day

drss2:
small small d truth don dey comot. small small nigerians go know say GEJ administration was d best ever especially in infrastructural developement n debt management.
dem APC zombies abused GEJ for lying dat nigeria has d biggest economy in africa after rebasing, yet their minister of finance kemi adeosun admitted dat nigeria's debt to gdp ratio is d best in africa at 12% compared to angola n south africa with 50% n 43% respectively, using GEJ's $510 billion gdp estimate. have d zombies now realise dat nigeria's economy under GEJ was d largest in africa so all of a suden nigeria's debt is no longer an issue, contrary to wat mere commissioner said in june dat nigeria's debt profile was at its worse ever in history at $60 billion. who is decieving who now instead of reducing debt profile, they ar borrowing N1.8 trillion. is dis how they intend to reduce d debt?
2016 budget is not budget of change but budget of LOOTING n DEBT.
now PDP will be left with d burden of clearing d rot n debt APC plung nigeria in 2019. Smh.

My problem with us young people is that we tell ourselves lies

I traveled from makurdi to ogoja to calabar during this christmas and the fedral roads were an eyesore, I have traveled from lagos through ondo to makurdi again in this new year and the roads were horrible I was opportune to go to the east and most federal roads are in a sorry state, can you please tell me which infrastructure you are talking about?

Given the fact that oil prices were at its peak, can you please tell me what you think of the shameful scam that dasuki is spewing isn't it shameful from anenih to dokpesi to metuh couldn't that money be used to fix those roads?

You may not like buhari but he is miles ahead of your jonathan

BekeeBuAgbara:
Budget for the Ministry of information and culture 39 billion naira, agriculture 29 billion naira. Buhari disregards agriculture even when the price of oil is going down?

IT IS THE FAULT OF WAILING WAILERS

They need to sponsor convincing campaigns to convince and confuse people from seeing the reality of things....

ASO ROCK expenditure has an increment under a President that promise to cut cost.... I still dont understand while a govt. facing austere times will make extra budget for ex military head of states...

None of.the Campaign promise has been fulfiled in fact the reverse is happening...

Lol.. bro, i am not here to measure brain cells with you or to compare eloquence in speech writing. I simply asked if you knew the meaning of the word 'hypocrisy' as used in your sentence and you are here foaming in the mouth

And yeah, in the past I have read plenty articles from those 2 Femis and until I confirm that both men are no longer on hard drugs and are now being sensible, I will read them no more. Thanks

I wasn't asking you to take me serious, I was only baring my mind

MCRUEMUS:

The man's reputation precedes him (just like FFK). When someone is in the habit of spewing only emotional poo, it is only normal for me to expect his next statement to be the usual dish.

drss2:
i wonder o!

did you notice that the ministry of propaganda got more money than ministry of education?

So eloquent FFK was a Minister

So eloquent because they are both graduates of top notch institutions in the world

So eloquent doesn't mean they can't lose

You don't take them serious because we do not value the needed in Nigeria instead we prefer inferior things.
