So, to usher in a new year and kick things off, the documents which contains Nigeria’s 2016 budget went missing on the 12th of January. Submitted by the office of the Presidency in December to the National Assembly, the documents—which spell out about US$ 31 billion in spending disappeared into thin air.

This meant that the Nigerian Senate could not go ahead with the debate as planned. Nigerians and non-Nigerians alike had choice words to say about the situation.

And no, this is not April 1st.
