Now I understand why the North gets the better share in Nigeria largesse. Whenever it is the time to share 'bread', they bury whatever might be their differences, and fight for it on the table of brotherhood. But for the South-East and South South, the reverse is the case. And, when the chips are down, they resort into wailing, chanting marginalization. They never knew their worst enemy is, themselves.

Obuah said “I am happy that Amaechi has carried his antics of setting brother against brother to the very Senate that screened and confirmed his ministerial appointment.

When will this people realize that this is politics, not sharing family land.

This alone proves why Amaechi is hated. Not because GEJ was better, but because he was our brother.

I think the same thing is applicable to Northerners
Very soon the tenure will be over he will return to his people

Seen a viral screenshot of Jibrin's text message apologising to committee members for "forgetting to get back" to them about the content of the budget sent back to the executives...

4bn was slashed from Ministry of Health's budget & added to CCB's budget...

Funds for Vaccines for very sick & vulnerable people & to protect children from infant mortality was given to CCB... even unrepentant haters of Nigeria & good tidings will find it hard to defend this travesty.


You guys, Hate Amaechi. Time will tell who you are doing.

Time to march against Saraki.

His time is up.

It is already being organised.

Tampering with our constitution to suit his personal gains is treasonable.

SARAKI OUT!!!

During the 2011 elections, I remember a certain GEJ winning more northern votes than PMB.
fast-forward 2015, what is the ratio of wins PMB:GEJ in the north, compared to GEJ:PMB in the south east South South Geo political zones, given that the west was tied.
Come back and tell me which region voted with more sentiment.

Again i ask, why this much bitterness and anger for Ameachi? Did he killed the former president GEJ? Did he 'Kanorize' the election against the 'Egbesu riverine results meant to defend the Fortunato?

Politics is an interest and not necessarily brotherliness, for there is a friend that is much closer than a brother.

Ameachi has chosen a path he considered more honourable and befitting so they should free the Honourable Minister.
Is like u didn't read the post, that ended with, PLEASE LET AMEACHI BE. Nobody is fighting him, he is the one running wen no one is chasing him(conscience).

Not just two.
He hobnobbed with known criminal elements.
Inability to implement The PIB.
VERY UNPRESIDENTIAL
He was a good man, but easily influenced.
In fact I think he might have had skeletons in his cupboard and was being blackmailed.

Lagos-Calabar Rail Project: New Controversy Between Arms Of Nigerian Government Over 2016 Budget

SaharaReporters spoke to several players in the controversy and discovered that the federal government did not initially include the project in the budget proposals.

The Minister for Budget and Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, told our reporter at the weekend that the government included the project in the 'amended budget' and passed it to the Standing Committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Also, a presidency source who did not want to be named said after the federal government had included Lagos-Calabar in its proposal, the Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi was sent to meet with the Senate Committees on Land Transport and Appropriations.

The Senate Committee on Land Transportation is headed by Gbenga Ashafa from Ogun State while Senator Danjuma Goje heads the Committee on Appropriations.

Mr. Goje was said to have been lukewarm towards the rail project, asking instead to meet Amaechi privately at home. It was not clear if he eventually met with Amaechi.

The House chairman on Appropriations, Jibrin Abdulmunin told SaharaReporters emphatically that the federal government did not include Lagos-Calabar rail in 2016 budget, and that he found himself saddled with handling the final outcome of the budget appropriations after the standing committees handed their recommendations to him.

He asserted that neither the Goje-led Senate Appropriations Committee nor Senator Ashafa’s Committee on Land Transportation sent any recommendations to his committee to include the Lagos-Calabar rail in the budget. In tweets in response to claims by members of the federal executive that National Assembly deliberately removed the project from the budget, Jibrin stated that they “found N54b floating” in the Ministry of Transportation budget and decided to allocate it to Lagos-Kano rail, an airport security project, and the rest given to the Baro Inland Port project in Niger state.

Also at the weekend, the Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, released a series of text messages apparently targeted at Saharareporters affirming that the executive did not include the Lagos-Calabar rail in the budget.

Further investigations by SaharaReporters however showed that the Standing Committees did receive an amended budget that included the project.

Senator Gbenga Ashafa who initially sent his legislative aide to brief SaharaReporters later spoke to us by phone confirming that the Senate Committees received an amended budget asking to have the Lagos-Calabar Railway rail included in the budget. He said he even jokingly asked where the Lagos end would terminate.

The Senator later issued a press statement in which he affirmed what he had earlier told SaharaReporters.

In the course of our investigations, we subsequently obtained a text message sent by Abdulmunin Jubril, the House of Representatives Chairman on Appropriations, in which he provided an update to leaders of all the Standing Committee leaders, and asking them to stand by him in case the executive fought back because he had included and removed some items from the budget.

At least, people can see what I live with in Rivers State.

There are a lot of confused people who are ready to drown the State because of their Our Brother Lost Mentality.

I salute all the South South people who put the Betterment of their people ahead of "Our Brother Lost Mentality." You guys rock.
