The federal Govt should remember that No matter how Bad one sons or daughters are in a family, There will be reason to say one among is there Trustworthy ,,Why should those claiming working for The nation not answering to the peanut ,The nation wanted to borrow,, imagine !!!

The federal Govt, do not need to borrow any cent from any where on the ground that Those who are behind the cloud know that the Nation fund is not being used by the nation but Those sabotaging the economy in which case are already known , They do not need to fight against us,,

Abun da aka iya kenan chin bashi

Mr borrower mbuhari

He want to destroy Nigeria with accumulated dept because I don't think he belong to Nigeria.

This man is a Malian

I think the United Nations should award this government world best borrower

Rubber stamped legislatures, make approval without proper scrutiny and ensuring loans are properly utilized.

The borrower is always subjective to the lender, we Nigerians are slaves of other nations, stop borrowing so we can become creative...

You are borrowing money to pay your legislators. They will sign it because you want to share it. This is not Saraki but Lawan that promised to be your rubber stamp. You are still paying your legislators salaries and allowances with this covid issue.

One day we will wake up and find out that they have sold this nation my prayer is that It should be sold to the Americans or Londonians and let it not be China

Why is that this regime like collecting loan, there are many business you can do to generate more money instead of collecting loan..

Specialist is borrowing, I hail this government.

From where? biko🤦‍♂️ another $5.513? Where's the abacha's loot $311m? Nigerians need to protest against buhari govt debts are too much.

The IMF should always enforce appropriation of these funds, not allowing these people to just share it on a round table.

The only time he writes is always a request for loan

One day Buhari will use Nigeria as collateral to borrow money. This country is in for a real show.

Why can't we borrow from Tinubu, Amaechi, IBB, Magu, Sanusi and even Dangote? They are rich enough to help. The way we are borrowing from outside, one day they will come and carry the country and all of us inside o!

Now this is too much

B for buhari B for borrow borrow

That's the only thing is good at, he hasn't said anything about the mass killing in southern Kaduna. Please no take debts kill our generations finish!

When will nigerians rise to caution this administration over continuous loan? Is this administration doing this against the next government, or to keep nigeria impoverished forever?

Oga take this borrowing easy o, make una start from all Political Officials pay cut to raise the money.

This man don kill the economy shaa Keep on borrowing 🤦🤦

Despite all the debts, donations from COVID-19, and Abacha loot we are still going to borrowing market again.

Haba! is this borrowing every now and then not too much, i hope that i don't wake up one morning to see that the country has been sold.

Mr unaware is not aware of this request, let’s ask Mr Gambari why they want to kill us

Within a year this government has borrow what PDP borrowed for 16years.

Rolls royces, Bugattis and Ferraris must continue to be showcased and flaunted on social media. Please approve ASAP!
