Three national budgets. Countless billions approved. Yet for ordinary Nigerians, the results are almost invisible. Roads remain broken, hospitals are starved, schools are neglected, and insecurity still spreads. If the 2023, 2024, and 2025 budgets exist mostly on paper, then this is not mere incompetence. It is a brutal betrayal of public trust.
That is why Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal’s statement hits so hard. A budget is not meant to be a ceremonial document, a press release, or a stack of figures designed to impress Abuja. It is supposed to touch lives, solve problems, and move the country forward. When huge appropriations are announced with fanfare but vanish before reaching the people, Nigerians have every right to ask the most dangerous question in public life: where did the money go?
And if, as Tambuwal suggests, those funds are disappearing into private pockets, then this goes beyond ordinary corruption. It becomes organized injustice against millions of citizens forced to live with hunger, decay, and fear while a few feed fat on the commonwealth. Nigeria cannot keep surviving on budgets that sound powerful in speeches but collapse in reality. A government that budgets without visible delivery is not governing. It is deceiving.
A COMMON MISTAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE DO MAKE
I don't know of many, but this act annoys me so much, especially the manner in which some would pull you back if you're not the Imam, or some would even be the ones to push the Imam front without any courtesy. This happens mostly in this part of the world. You hardly find it elsewhere. You sometimes tend to lose some attentiveness in Salãt due to that unnecessary drag or push.
This is what the renown scholar, Sheikh Dr. Salih Al-Munajjid (Hafizahullah) says regarding this issue:
This is so beautiful. ❤️
We’ve also had people do projects for their loved ones, for their spouses, for their parents, for their kids, for their friends, for their relatives. Some are still alive and not even aware, some are late, May Almighty Allah reward us all. #Buildawell

What is happening to Mahadi Shehu affects us all. It is our monies that are being used to pay ransom and some are using it as opportunityto inflate the amountand enrich themselves. His allegations should be investigated and not the state clamping on him.
