Education will always suffer blc our leaders re Illiterates! Health sector can't survive without education! Kill education =kill health sector

SERAPNigeria Nigerians I beg naaaaa! Ma we wake up so

Let them even stop giving Nigeria any aid totally because those monies end up in private account, pockets and farm tanks. It is insane for any country to cut any health budget now for any reason.

Why Education and Health in the first place?

UN will summon MBuhari, interogate him seriously, punish him and order him to revert to the earlier budget. Why can't we have sense? If you are against the adjustment, battle your govt & leave UN alone. They have better issues to attend to.

Is it not wickedness to reduce from this 2 sectors at a time like this? It is very annoying and shows how morally bankrupted our elected official have become.

idrisshaba1 drag😂🤣

When the president is not healthy why won't they reduce health budget.

Auo_ra na game all of them the play with us.

Some complain bitterly, problematic with mild tolerance citizens they can do whatever they want as long as will still complaining😀😀😀

Thank you SERAP for standing tall against this clueless government.

A Fulani man cannot lead Nigeria to the promise land. The earlier we get this into our heads the better. And some useless people in Nigeria are protesting against the death of a black man in the US, while worst things like this happens.

this man is daft in d brain.. he never wish Nigerians well.. he always against anything that will benefit citizens for good.. He's on a countdown already.

How can a president in this time of pandemic reduce health and education budget something is clearly wrong somewhere

SERAP, make una try win or conclude one case na.

When those in charge have no certificate or value for human life what did u expect ?

tamsjazz I hope something good comes out

You mean, wrote a letter or tagged the UN in their tweet? Fools! Because UN owns Nigeria. Una no block Aso rock gate, demand audience/justice. Yet people chop belle ful go de protest George Floyd death for Abuja.

It can be reverse d deal has being done but dere is God perhaps absolute power v corrupt, absolutely renovation of building over heath and educational sector.

We always hear of SERAP dragging the FG, but we've never heard of their breakthroughs and success stories. I hope say all these dragging no be audio?

Really got nothing to promote. Follow me, I follow back.

With the poverty in the country you guys wanna sit there at nassnigeria and share 27 billion? We need to start paying politicians peanuts let’s know the ones that will stay.

Drag them

God will punish all of them buhari and his people, he reduced budgets on education to make sure that Nigerian youths will remain illiterate and not know that the real power is in their hand cause they are the majority and health cause he wants them to die when they fall sick

Nigeria under attack by the government... Keep looting

SERAP organize protest to ask for impeachment of Buhari! Which one are you reporting him to UN.

Step in the right direction

AmotekunSw Kudos! SERAP! Thank you for taking the bull by the horn, and doing something when most won't.

Pls if u are residing in Abuja and u are in the best position to assist me on getting a job pls help me out plssss.... Can do anything aside armed robbery...

When an animal is your leader, that's what u got. Zoo

Indeed, wisdom is far from Nigeria Political Leaders. 27billion for NASS renovation?

Is this a government? The Buhari administration is chop I chop administration. Nigerian use your vote wisely in all elections. A word is enough for the wise.

Good. It in history that SERAP stood to challenge the FG on this matter.

What did you expect from someone that's SO uneducated? It's been like that these past years.

Well, the President & other 'leaders' patronize foreign hospitals, schools, etc. They don't care about Nigeria & Nigerians. They are wicked & unpatriotic. They develop foreign countries with Nigeria's money. Very sad.

The so call president doesn't know what he is doing and of course he didn't care about the well being of Nigerian masses

What is he always busy signing with verification?

You

Can we just for once unite and rise against our real oppressors these ppl don't care about us No need calling d United nation call the activist and youth and all Nigerians to protest let's wake our self up then the world will see we are really ready enough of the pains

Bastards!!!

Why won't FG approve bogus fund for NASS? It's bargain. NASS approved $5.5bn loan, FG approved 27bn for NASS. Question 101 What's FG intend to do with the loan? What have they done with previous loans? Question 102 What's the worth of the building to be renovated with 27bn?

Sai Baba

Is this government even for the Nigerian people at all? How can they... Let me go and sleep abeg...

Buhari must win the Next Nobel prize for this novel history he has made. Nigerians let's vote our darling president.

F****kd up nation.

All this old soldier go soldier come leaders are playing with the calmness of Nigerians They think they will just make promises during election and after they enter Aso rock there brains will loose nut forgetting there fat fat promises One day it will clear them

How can you slash education and health budget for crying out loud? Then gave N27B to renovate NASS building. 😢

What's Adamu Adamu's work as minister of education? Why are they this disdain? With all that's going on, they still slashed health and education budget? realDonaldTrump 10DowningStreet WHO UN cnni AJEnglish BBCWorld World leaders and those releasing abacha, listen ooo!

Make them drag them well well for us Abeg...👏

Why? Health Education We need most now. We need health facilities now because we don’t have any yet, so we need to fix our Health now, no more travel for health issues in Nigeria

slimroju

The most two important things that Nigerians need you reduce am,nor be sadine be this o,at a critical period we need improvement in the health sector and our educational system.abeg who dey advise buhari?

They've chosen their leader,let them enjoy his reign.

Can u imagine reducing d budget of 2 key sectors. Key sectors 🤦

This budget reduction has given ASUU green light to strike til God knows when. I pity students in public schools 🤦‍♂️

yes of course they will what is the level of his education training institute Medica challenge always travel abroad they can't cut their allowances because the peanut of it goes to fucking Nigeria's during election so why they wouldn't cut it

Fail government

Hopeless government

Please help to save our health and Education system. If we allowed this both sector which is already dead will be buried

They didn't remember to cut down on renovations for the house of assembly. I wonder how these men think

Seriously this great country is been mess up by our rules MBuhari when you have highest number of out of children in the world and our health care is zero ... Abeg who do we offend should forgive us na DrAhmadLawan femigbaja

This is madness

Even SERAP self wan chop there own, I no trust them

This shows truly that the so call president his cabinet, senators, house of reps and all are so so heartless and inhuman.

kayodelewu

Drag him well o

This one sweet me die

It seems they have not learned anything from covid. Reduce education and health for furniture. Well iam not surprised, affidavit is always available to them.

At the end of the day...nothing will happen

Gud job

What is UN going to do?

Reducing education and health budgets and they can finance renovation of a building. Are you people not insane? Like I don’t get 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

A most useless set of leaders. Well done SERAPNigeria may God continue to protect all the members of this good organization

Why not the ICJ?

He just don't have feeling for the poor nigerians if not why education and health,,

End of discussion!!! Nothing can be worse than this govt in the history of Nigeria.

Not Trump again?🤣🤣🤣

Imagine the FG putting the N27bn for NASS renovation into Education or Healthcare, Just Imagine the gains it will bring to those sectors. The irresponsibility on the part of NASS on this particular issue is shameful. I know it is statutory and executive can't do anything about.

Issokay

I want to give you loan.

Oh my warisidis mbok 🙆🏽‍♂️

This is unacceptable, when the whole world is spending more on health care and research we're cutting spending. Thinking in reverse mode

₦27 billion when the health sector is still not ok Our education system-poor Is it national assembly renovation that is the next thing E be things for this country

What is UN going to do? We the cirizens needs to get our priorities right, and know when to hold the government responsible and drag/protest when it's necessary.

This very commendable! from SERAPNigeria Thank you for always standing for Nigerians especially when activists rather vent on twitter than make real moves.

Buhari is been used and it’s paining me that his just a big waste and big fool

orumax Nice move! The two major sectors have been neglected so far. We have proven over time that we cannot cordinally and as a people handle ourselves to do the right thing to that regard, the UN hopefully will help.

Up Naija

The thunder that will fire Buhari and his family and his political elites is coming

Drag them till tomorrow, na their ppl they SERAP
