Ghandi12:


Mr. Aresa I see you are very loyal APC partyman. Please advice your party principals they are speedily going into political extinction if people's mood across the nation continues this way.

1. APC, especially the Presidency allowed Saraki and PDP take control of the NASS - a very costly mistake for the President to travel eve of this election.
2. APC and the Presidency have failed to expeditiously dislodge Saraki - poisonous mistake as the President is still traveling leaving many important things unattended.
3. APC and Presidency have failed to keep in touch with the source of their strength - the talakawas.
4. The Presidency has not demonstrated expected bite in decision-making, implementation, enforcement and monitoring.

No serious leader keeps rebels around long enough to cause avoidable damages.

Who are they deceiving? To tell me dat PMB will decline signing d budget cos of dividend of democracy due to a SS area of Calabar is a white lie aimed at setting up d natnl assembly against d masses, make Bubu appear as pan-Nigerian and as usual shift dia usual blame game to d doors of d legislators since Gej blame transfer strategy is not working any longer. This same budget FEC review dat he refused to attend is now this important. For God's sake d lifeline people have been hoping dat cud jumpstart the restoration of d economy is d signing into law of this budget but that appears to v ran into troubled murky waters of politics. These guys are really insensitive, kakistocratic and directionless. What happened to sending supplementary budget for any gray areas while implementing d ones dat are well appropriated. Obj u see ur advice dat he can run without budget till June?. If d budget is being suspended cos of this then d Bubu travel to China shd be put on hold till it is sorted out but alas d junketeer will be off this morning. If d natnl assembly shd be alive and active they must not approve everything sent to her lest they become rubber stamp. No sane Nigerian will support any action dat will push d country into foreign debt again . It is most painful dat most of us are extremely resilient, fanatically docile and annoyingly cowardly. In saner climes, 'Occupy Nigeria ' shd v been a daily routine now but we r all here bashing ourselves. Shame

Amitex:
To all those shouting NASS this and that, let us wait for their reply. As for me, we do not need a coastal rail to be financed by concession. That means that the Chinese would build, operate and transfer the project, just like Lekki concession projects. If you understand what that means.

Questions to ask are:

Why not develop any two of Calabar, Warri and Onne or any other seaport with this fund? That would decongest Lagos ports and be of better benefits to SS & SE, if you love the people so much. Unless we are saying that SS & SE would perpetually be dependent on Lagos for import and export.

Why rail, to serve what purpose? To move goods from Lagos to the SS and SE? Why not complete the second Niger bridge instead?

Why are you concessioning only the Calabar-Lagos rail of all rail lines in Nigeria? Meaning, the cost would be recouped from users who incidentally would be SS and SE.

We should reason things before castigating others. have we even heard from NASS??

PDP is a sad burden on Nigeria..

TheGoodJoe:


Do not mind a lot of the Rivers People. Their PDP Senators and House of Representatives members will not fight for them. I can bet it is Amaechi that pointed the exclusion of the Lagos - Calabar Railway project and rejected it.

xcuggsm:


THIS IS THE MOST ARTICULATE SUBMISSION ON THIS MATTER THUS FAR.

IF THE UNDERLYING PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED LAGOS - CALABAR RAIL LINE IS TO FACILITATE THE MOVEMENT OF GOODS FROM THE LAGOS PORTS TO OTHER SOUTHERN STATES, IS IT NOT BETTER TO DEVELOP THE CALABAR PORT INSTEAD?
.
AFTER ALL OVER 80% OF GOODS ENTERING THE COUNTRY THROUGH THE LAGOS PORTS END UP IN THE SOUTH EAST.

What concerns PDP in this matter? The National Assembly is dominated by APC party men.

OAFMods:


Althiugh Nigerian are presently facing perilous moment arising from budget delay n fuel scarcity people like you are good example to continue supporting Buhari. Dullard are seen daily on NL referring to another as dullard, imagine a Senate that completely erased a 60 billion naira project forgeting the earlier the project commences the earlier ti completion. We are talking meaningful capital project here and you are here arguing it should be in a supplementary budget.

Are the senators billion naira budget going to be included in the supplemenatry budget ? Here is a man with foresight projecting such gigantic project in the SE, if he did not ipob like you will claim there is no federal presence in the East. What exactly is the problem with the brains of some of you Igbos ? Why can't you shut up if you lack the intelligence to make meaningful contributions on this forum or beta still why not call your father uncle etc someone anyone with a developed brain to engage others on the forum.

americanigga:
It is very shameful that there are senators and house of rep. members there representing the people of the south, yet before their very eyes the N60 billion that was earmarked for railway from lagos to calabar was removed while that of Lagos to Kano scale thru.

I don't blame the members of house of assembly from the south since most of them are PDP. When it comes to rigging elections, collecting bribe they are very smart but when it comes to engaging their nothern counterpart in serious national issues they are very timid. Everyday you see senators like Ekweremadu, Urogide(edo state) and other PDP senators following saraki to the CCT. One would have expected them to use the closeness to the senate president to lobby so that they can attract federal presence to the south, but the reverse is always the case. Shame on Ekweremadu, shame on PDP, shame on southern senators and house of rep members.

billyG:

Dnt b reasoning like a dullard,those projects are among other things are made 2 stimulate d economy.

Jesusloveyou:
shut up, d 80 senator that follow saraki to cct are from where? people that hate this country are more than those who love it, God bless pmb

otr1:

If this is all you can come up with,then I'm sorry for you.

I don't just know what's wrong with some of you.
You sleep here in the politics section and you don't even understand the basics of politics.
And what if you don't need a Lagos-Calabar rail, must you support the removal of the project from the budget just because you hate Buhari?
Have you calculated the cost of cutting the budget for some on going projects or you're just too blind?
Try and be reasonable next time or better still, refrain from commenting.

back2sender:

This is not a case of Pdp or APC. The blame is on the legislators from the south who were sleeping while the budget was been prepared. Shame on them all.
