INSIDE THE MASSIVE FRAUD IN BUHARI’S 2016 BUDGET: PREMIUMTIMES

By -

PREMIUM TIMES extensive review of the proposed budget, which has passed second reading at the Senate and the House of Representatives, reveals it is a collection of fraudulent and frivolous allocations, many of which are clearly meant to support the opulent lifestyle of public officials. Many of the allocations were either repeated several times, over-priced or are obvious misplacement of priorities.

Vice President Osinbajo and multi-million naira books:

A particularly disturbing instance of misplaced priority is the allocation for books for Vice President Osinbajo's office.
Mr. Osinbajo's office has more money allocated to it for books than what each of the federal polytechnics in the country are getting for the same purpose.
While N4,906,822 was proposed to be spent on books by Mr Osinbajo, the total allocation for books for 11 out of 22 federal polytechnics, which actually have book allocations, was a mere N3,832,038.

The fraudulent topics covered in the report included massive sums for:

Buhari wants N1.4billion houseboats for officers while Northeast burns…

Buhari's Guest House and the N400million face-lift…

Exotic Cars While Nigeria Suffers…
The report highlights the new and
repeat offender minister of Power, Tunde Fashola , who along with his friends, Dr. Tunji Olowolafe were accused of robbing Lagos blind by building $400 boreholes for $450,000 each, had put the same largesse and others in the new proposed budget that has already passed its second read:

Fashola and his N140million naira for a single borehole
The Ministry of Works, Power and Housing proposed to spend N140,000,000 for the construction of a single solar borehole, and N161,500,000 for the construction of a motorised borehole.
The Ministry of Interior budgeted N576,500,000 for the construction/provision of electricity, N595,606,148 for repair/ rehabilitation, and N6.2 billion for research and development.
The Nigerian Prison Service however budgeted N500,000,000 for "capacity building."
In the 2015 budget, the allocation for security equipment for the Nigerian Immigration Service was N86,057,143 but the figure leapt astronomically to N2.12 billion in the draft 2016 budget.
It is really pathetic and unbelievable.

ADULTS TALK: Who Should Say ‘THANK YOU’ After Sex?

Male Angle Don't trivialise it When I first wondered about this question, I thought it was something actually ridiculous, but after having discussed it with my wife and a few friends, I must say that I agree with a lot of the things everyone said. Let me explain here. I definitely agree it can be a little sexy to say it, but it depends on the familiarity and the relationship you both have. But I also completely understand how many people can be made to feel like a used piece of crap, a prostitute, or it just being plain awkward if they get thanked every time they had sex with their partners. I can see it from both sides. But it just depends on the situation. Men also have the same issues to think about. For us, it is also about being put on the center stage and our sexual performance is being verified, acknowledged and praised or abused. It's like a prized bull or horse being praised while being used for breeding. A lot of men will even question why there should even be a ne...
