I guess OP targeted folks like you by blaming PDP instead of blaming APC and PDP and you fell for it hook line and sinker. He projected a false narrative that GMB wanted to do this for your region while your senators rejected when in fact other senators were involved. Sen Goje, APC is the chairman of appropriation. There are more APC senators in the house than PDP, how come APC didn't convince fellow members to vote for it?


You are turning the point of the OP to favor your argument.

The question is Where were our own Senators and Honorables when there was an agreement to remove such project beneficial to us?

I didn't fall for anything. I have always tried to avoid this APC vs PDP bull.$hit. No offence to you or anyone else on this forum but I think only two sets of people still support political parties in Nigeria. The foot soldiers who get peanuts and the dumb skulls who get nothing at all.

Whether or not the project was in the proposed budget is not my problem. The fact that our reps didn't see the opportunity to make us believe they have us in mind is annoying. Imagine the amount of pressure they would have piled on the FG if they had spoken about it first. Now you want me to believe the man who spoke out first is the liar? Call it propaganda (the word has even lost its taste) if you like. Fact is those guys don't care about us!

What kind of thread is this? How can minority (PDP) be greater than majority(APC)? If minority is greater than majority then Amaechi would not have be cleared during ministerial screening. The last I checked the house of senate and assembly, is always the AYE'S that have it so how can a minority PDP have more power over the budget when majority APC are there? I really doubt if such was included in the budget , I hope APC is not making another blame excuse. We really have a lot of fish brain people in this country. May God help us all.

It's calked equal responsibility! Stop being willfully ignorant! This project benefits Ogun, the manufacturing hub of Naija and Lagos, the economic capital than SS, why didn't their senators fight for the project.


lol @ attache... Yes, this is generally a Nigerian thing and all the senators across Nigeria should have made it happen, but primarily, it's a regional project that the regional leaders should have and still be shouting their lungs out to make sure it doesn't get swept under the rug..


What next are you going to tell me? The useless senators and reps from that region refused to speak up for the project in their back yard because the ones in the SW did not speak up?


Useless Twitter parrot senator "Don't Be Like Bruce" lift his Twitter finger because SW people did not say anything about the project in his backyard?

Instead of making your useless leaders account for their incompetence and dereliction of duty, you travel across the country to point fingers at other people..

So a rail project from Calabar to Lagos is only going to impact SS economically?? Why not show how SW senators fought to keep this project in their region? What does SE have to do with this project?
If S/S senator didn't fight for this project, same logic can be applied to SW senators that didn't for the project.
Stop insulting our collective intelligence! We can reason without partisan lens, OK

So the SW senators didn't push for a rail project but got it, right?

And the one to the SS that even Amaechi talked about got expunged, why?

To give wailers something to wail about, right?

Fight, you say! Does anyone in this part of the country (SS) ever get anything without it?

Marginalization can be self inflicted, you know!

u could be right. But that will be too myopic of our Niger Delta PDP senators.

They should just add all d items they removed. That will only change d budget to 6.14 trillion instead of the current 6.06 trillion. To me, it makes no difference. If we can fund 6.06 trillion we can fund 6.14 trillion. Afterall they are both 6.1 trillion to 1 decimal place.





It is possible it was missing in d most recent version sent to senate. But be that as it may, if Senators from Niger Delta were serious they would have spotted it in d new version they are working on thatsuch a huge project 4 Niger Delta has been omitted.
They never really cared.They were busy flexing.
they did not cross check anything or bother to look at what is important to thier region.

Presidency and some NASS members insist it was in d budget.

...........Vanguard learned that although the N60 billion meant for the Calabar-Lagos rail budget was not in the original budget, the Budget and National Planning Minister, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, successfully defended and got it included in the amended budget.
.......For instance, Senator John Enoh and Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmunin Jibrin, disagreed over the inclusion of the rail project in the budget.

While Enoh said it was included and wondered who removed it, Jibrin said the Lagos-Calabar rail project was never included.
.......Rep Oghene Egoh, PDP, Lagos, said the removal of the the Lagos-Calabar rail line was wicked and uncharitable if it is true because “we provided for both Kano and Lagos rail lines in the budget but I’m shocked that Lagos that is the business hub in Nigeria was removed. To me, we must probe deep into why it was removed because it connects all the oil producing states in Nigeria”.


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/04/2016-budget-palaver-presidency-gives-fresh-conditions-assent/


...........“The two arms of government are trying to resolve all issues raised by the Executive amicably before the President returns from China.

“Certainly, the discussion so far on Sunday has been cordial. The President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who travelled abroad has decided to cut short his trip in order to join the harmonisation talks.”

Responding to a question, the source said: “One of the issues which generated debate at the session was the lawmakers’ anger about the expunging of the Calabar – Lagos rail line from the budget details.

“The lawmakers said the project was not part of the Appropriation Bill submitted by the President. They said they were shocked that the government could be scandalising them in the press.

“But the government delegation insisted that it was part of the amendments submitted to the National Assembly after the padding was detected.”

I think it's a good thing that project got killed. How does a rail line from Calabar benefit the SW? We don't want a project that would empty the rest of the east into my west. Where is it even going to pass through? It can't all of a sudden be Ogun state. We have land for rail lines within SW only. SW senators must start blocking projects that will further destroy the SW. Every train from Lagos must terminate at Ondo and Kogi.

What concerns Jagaban with Calabar rail project? If you say SW rail system, yeah! All Apc needs to do is consolidate the places they won last time, take good care of the regions more and watch it work for them next time. And occasionally throwing bones to the lean dogs grin
