SageTravels:
So far so good the NASS are leading. let the blame game continue. like as I said before.

NO MATTER HOW FAR LIE GOES TRUTH WILL SURELY OVERTAKE IT.


MR. President did not include that Lagos - Calabar project. all this things they are doing is just to disgrace NASS and SS/SE senator.

So may people have even take the matter personal. insulting our Senator. Ben Bruce said the truth.

What a funny country every week new drama.

Is this a curse or what? Anywhere Amaechi goes, trouble is found.

Do you mind him, he thought he was dealing with Rivers State House of Assembly under his watch.

See that the policeman Mbu has had his peace after leaving Amaechi infested area. Now, Amaechi is in the news again for the very wrong reason. I pity this man!!!!

Reference:
I think Amaechi should tactically withdraw from this reimbursement. If he wants to 'chop' the 60 billion alone....

modath:



Bubu never intended for Lag -Cal but you agreed there was padding, lots of errors & ommissions in the budget ba? & 54bn was wakaing aimlessly in the budget too?

NASS unilaterally changed the budget proposal for provision of infrastructures to purchase Keke Napep, cut the budget for special vaccines & such nonsense.... but they couldn't work the rail into the budget despite finding "purposeless" money floating like rudderless ship in the budget? Issokay!!!

Walahi, na North go rule us till thy kingdom come! Na dem be baba!!

modath:
See una... You think I'm going to argue or start schlong measuring contest about this? Nah... the facts are bare, however.........SW has had 8 uninterrupted years & still sitting pretty NOW, all slaves are not equal!

One slave pass another! Some are serfs, some will be in perpetual slavery!!

Buhari never intended to build any lagos-calabar rail lines that was why he did not include it in the budget.He just created this scenario to embarass the NASS.He never had any such intention.A very useless and clannish president.That is what you get when you elect a NEPA bill certificate holder as president

TheGoodJoe:

In your mind, Amaechi wants to eat money and then you are seeing the Northern Senators diverting it from your people and providing for their own.

Just stay there. Do not think about the number of jobs this project will create for us. After people will complain no jobs.

Amaechi has a juicy job as the Minister Of Transport. He is doing this for hundreds of thousands of people who have no job and the rail project will bring meaningful development.

All dis nothern senators is not thier fault. If not for d stupidity of my Niger Delta brothers who are so fixated on Hating Buhari due to Instigation by the Igbos as a result of Jonathan loss, this senators wont be bold enough to openly admit adding more money to Kano rail at the expence of Calabar rail. When in d same speech, the same senator is telling us they have d power to add and remove any item from d budget.

If they can add and remove any item from d budget as they claim, why is it Niger Delta project that they are removing due to flimsy excuse that it was not on d original document despite d fact that it was presented to them in d senate as an addedum.

The simple question we need to ask this senators defending d ommission of Calabar lagos rail is this: All d constituency project they added to d budget were they in d original budget submitted to them? The increase in d amount 4 Kano rail was it in d budget submitted to them? All d new road linking thier states they added to d budget was it in in d original document submitted to them? If they can add items not submitted to them on d original document, what stop them from adding the Calabar Lagos rail project that was clearly successfully defended, discussed and submitted to them as an ammendment or addendum? Thier argument that it was not on d original document submitted to them is lame, completely outrageous and dead on arrival!!!!This people must be thinking they are speaking to morons!!!!

The greatest traitors to d Niger Delta right now are those fools, and extreme bitter people who are ready to kill d development of Niger Delta just because they hate Buhari 4 cheap political point.


The truth is dat Buhari got nothing to lose. He is a 72year old man who has been Governor, Minister, millitary head of state and today democratically elected president. He is already a great achiever.


We Niger Delta people are being foolish and myopic. We must protest against NASS.

We must not give away what belong to us just because Jonathan lost election. Niger Delta is bigger than Jonathan loss. We must move on and stop harming ourselves. Jonathan is a Beneficiary of Niger Delta Struggle. He was never part of d struggle. We must not destroy our region just because of a benefiary who never contributed much to our region when he got d opportunity.

We are just being silly and foolish.


According to Peter Obi former Governor of Anambra state, Igbo are d cause of thier maginalisation because they dont know how to negotiate politically when others (North and South west) are negotiating for thier people.

My Niger delta brothers, please we must not end up like them. We should be wiser.

The Lagos Calabar rail is just named Lagos Calabar . The Rail actually goes from Lagos to Calabar to Aba to PortHarcourt to Ughelli to Sapele to Benin and to Ore to Ibadan and back to lagos. It is South west, South South and South East rail. The rail is expected to also link Onitcha and Asaba and Warri.

We claim we are more educated than the North. We brag with our worthless PhDs. Notherners with ordinary primary Six certificates are dribbling our PhD senators like Lionel Messi.

Bubu DID IT BEFORE & TRIED doing it again. He cancelled the first Lagos rail project that eventually WASTEFULLY flushed Billions of dollars down the drain.

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

Why would anyone be bragging over being a slave- irrespective of the degre of servitude?
Why?

Who dey drag slavery with you? Die alone in your slavery. Igbos will never join ypu in being slaves to the north.

TheGoodJoe:
Continue spreading jokes. You are seeing Northern Senators divert money from a project that will benefit our people and you are making jokes.

The position is juicy because he earns in millions while those forming big boys earn in hundreds of thousands.

If you do not consider a job that pays in millions juicy, what is.

He delivered good governance hence his protégé was unsuccessful in his bid to become governor.
Amaechi is high on grade 1 Buhari urine.

TheGoodJoe:


I was afraid Bayelsa people would boo me – Jonathan

“Sometimes when you are exposed to some high offices and you finish serving, you are even afraid of going back home. Because in one way or the other you will feel that you did not satisfy the people.

“Sometimes at the late hour it dawns on you that you could have done that, you could have done that, you failed to do this you, failed to do that.

“Sometimes you begin to fear whether the people that came to receive you, will they curse you, will they hoot at you?”

Are the millions from his salary or from the CORRUPT kickbacks and PADDING of budgets and contracts that will not be implemented like the PH light rail

HirstMOG:


they will stone bubu comes 2019.

TheGoodJoe:

Fight Amaechi like GEJ who fought for the reduction in Rivers State's allocation so Amaechi will not finish projects.

Fight him, so the Northern Senators will divert the money for their own Railway, while our own stays the same.

iykedare:
Why is it so difficult for Nigerians to get things right?
Ameachi does not need to be told that all the items in the budget need to be delivered to NASS via the presidency. These guys are clowns.

TheGoodJoe:

When the two Railway projects are completed, let me see who will stone him from the South South, South East, South West and the North.

ipreach:
why is Amaechi always on the negative news??

anonimi:


How is asking questions on the MILLIONS that he will CORRUPTLY steal turned into fighting AmaeTHIEF?
Can you please explain?
Thanks.

TonyeBarcanista:
My position exactly! I have never seen where a minister will bring his own extra budgetary provision outside what the President submitted. Nigeria is not running parallel presidency. The Lagos-Calabar Rail project was NEVER in the budget.
