PointB:

Critics would have also believe that the government representative led by Pius Ayim could not attend to their enquiry, but those who actually see that the whole saga is just nothing but grandstanding and fight for their bellies, knowing that the figures are self explanatory.

PointB:

No, these guys are not ready to use their head. They'll rather follow their commander in propaganda Gbawe, to castigate those who are actually doing their job.

To the likes of Gbawe, another endless talk show at the Senate is more important to Nigeria, rather than a pre-scheduled investment forum the Minister choose to attend. Critics would have also believe that the government representative led by Pius Ayim could not attend to their enquiry, but those who actually see that the whole saga is just nothing but grandstanding and fight for their bellies, know that the figures are self explanatory.

Gbawe:

You see how these things pan out? Folks like you will never stop personalizing issues and objectifying others as 'bogeymen'. I suppose no less can be expected from a character indoctrinated to running around ,in fear and paranoia, looking for "enemies" everywhere. When I then respond, you will all be running from pillar to post creating 10 pages all devoted to vacuous arguments. You will say I think too highly of myself yet folks like you can never ever contribute your opinion without mentioning Gbawe.

Issues here are very clear and nothing at all to do with Gbawe. Let everyone concerned , whether legislative or executive, show up and give an account of their actions. You cannot dismissively wave this off as "endless talk show" when every discerning and objective Nigerian can see that this is one of the checks-and-balances obligations ,to the Nigerian public, everyone involved must treat with utmost importance. Pointless trying to distract from that very simple notion via mentioning Gbawe at every opportunity. Even a child can see the central issue here.

PointB:

Look at this clown accusing me of creating 10 pages of cyclic argument, when it is obvious he the champion of long essay. Tell us on the page, who have the longest and most boring post so far?. Do you think I have the time for such, I mean, do you think I am a paid ACN propagandist like you?

Anyone with an ounce of gray matter within their skull knows that the minister alluded to amount release so far as comprising the 56%, while the senators are viewing it from the amount utilized. Now, the first quest is: D[b]o they need the Finance Minister to school them on the 'obvious' fact that some MDA have not utilised their allocation?[/b] Perhaps, yes, as some of the in the senate are dullards. The second question is must the executive business be held hostage in order to reconcile this figure? Clearly, it is a NO. Their is clearly no reason for the senators grandstanding, unless there is something they are not revealing. But we have a lot daft figures running around with the notion that this 'reconciliation' and it's attendant paparazzi is more important than the Minister's business trip. That you lead that pack is not surprising, judging from your antecedent.

Fortunately, some of are not that daft, nor are we all resident hypocrites!

you will all be running from pillar to post creating 10 pages all

Gbawe:

Here we go again. Every time you open your mouth, it is obvious the inferiority complex, paranoia and innate indoctrination in hatred that drives your 24/7 obsessive malevolence towards others. Read again and see your guilty conscience exposed. Please, submit your own argument and leave Gbawe out of your utterances that only reveals poor breeding.

Running around, looking for avenues to satisfy your rabid hatred of other, with uncouth rants, only exposes your pettiness and distinct lack of intelligence. Try and rise above your limitation for once and concentrate on discussing issues instead of your foul-mouthed obsession with characters.

PointB:

Chairman of Resident hypocrite, if you cannot stand the kitchen's heat, there is a door.
Attempting to project your fears, weakness, and short-coming on me, has failed severally. Come up with something novel.

pcicero: If we are concerned about the development of this nation, then we must stop all these bickering in the interest of the nation we claim to love.

What is so sacrosanct about budget implementation if the adequate funding have been allocated? Why is the executive foot-dragging on executing projects meant to benefit the populace but have no qualms about diverting unspent monies into their private pockets at the end of the financial year?

It doesn't bode well on NOI as the manager of our economy if with our level of under-development, monies meant for critical infrastructure are lying idle in bank vaults only to end in people's pockets.
A senator just noted on TV now that Nigeria's internal debt hovers around 5-6 trillion naira.
And a major chunk of that was incurred by GEJ's administration.
That leads me to ask, what have they been doing with our money?

People should cast aside primordial sentiments and ask critical questions if we do not want this nation to fail. We are already on the road to perfidy!

pcicero: @ PointB:

I don't agree that it is wrong for NASS to summon NOI. She is the coordinating minister of the economy and de-facto prime minister. I don't think it is proper for anyone to absolve her in any crisis situation with regards to our economy.
Part of the excuses being given by MDAs are the processes of getting approvals from BPP and Due process office which are under her purview.

Gbawe:

Ode. "Heat" from an olodo like you? You may not be clever enough to note it, but I am only pointing out and deconstructing your obsessive personality before the forum lest you engage in revisionism on another thread to the effect of character assassination. No one sees any "heat". All that is obvious is a totally obsessed character, one of many here who all coincidentally happen to be in the fan club of this discredited Government, chasing others around with uncouth and unrequited agbero rants. It is obvious for all to see that you lack basic civility and decorum.

PointB:

ACN progandist,
The feeling is mutual. I am sure people will start taking you serious, when they see you take on Tinubu, and other thieves in ACN with same vigour, and venom you put in GEj issue. But of course we know that is not possible, as you are ACN's Laptop 1!

Resident Hypocrite!

PointB:

I never said it was wrong to invite, even though they can resolve the difference without her presence.

My point is that, I do not agree that the executives should not honour those international commitment because of this matter. Secondly, it was also wrong for the senate not to grant audience to the executive delegation. I think it is demeaning to walk them out without hearing what they had to say. What if the had all the answers?

Demdem:

FFFuck ACN and to Hell with the killer party (PDP) however this doesnt mean that u are making sense at all. What has this got to do with the subject matter of this thread?

Pukkah: The job of selling this bad product is obviously and understandably getting tougher for the minions and underlings.

At first their boast line used to be that the President's party controls a comfortable majority of both houses of the Legislature. But wait, that boast vanished into thin air when the House of Reps started the budget implementation debate.

They called the Speaker of the House of Reps several unprintable names when the House of Reps started the budget implementation debate. They left the crux of the matter and labelled all the reps as thieves or Boko Haram, as the case may be. They continued and became doubly excited when Okonjo-Iweala countered the Reps with her 56% implementation figure. Emboldened by this, they even called the Reps more names. They bragged that Reps were alone in this and could not alone impeach the President.

That boast too has vanished with the Senators asking the same implementation questions, and vindicating the Reps who had earlier been branded thieves and Boko Haram members. Now the spin line is that the questions are being asked because both houses are hungry for and arm-twisting the Executive for their constituency projects. Isn't this a classic case of red herring? Besides, what is the percentage of the constituency projects? What of the remaining executive arm projects?

Imagine if the leadership of the Senate had been from the core North or South West. Then the now monotonous sing-song of 'our son', 'our detractors' , 'Boko Haram' would have unabashedly rented the air as if previous Presidents were not lampooned or put under the search light.

Imagine if PDP, the President's party, was not in control of both houses of the Legislature? Tales of 'godfathers' and 'tribal conspiracy' would have been rife.

This tribe of paid agents need to face the facts and know when not to push their luck.

Gbawe:

Oga, shut up and move on instead of remaining here and disgracing yourself. Your olodo rants , lacking sense and only full of vitriol, keep exposing you as a hateful, feudalisitc and clannish creature who cannot take a break, even for a second, from an animal-like and savage hatred of others.

Who, apart from a hateful and clannish creature like you, has mentioned Political Party here in a straight-forward National issue concerning Senators (many from the PDP) taking on the mainly PDP-led executive arm over Nigeria's National budget? We can trust bigoted olodos like you to always introduce petty, sectional and clannish inanities into everything. What concerns Tinubu, ACN , or any Party for that matter, in this issue you paranoid and hateful reprobate?

Where else do you want to turn your uncouth mouth to? Attacks against Yoruba folk? Parents? What? I hinted at the uncouth back-and-forth you and your ilk engage in after being the one to initiate rancor. Good to see you are not even bright enough to desist from proving me right. All you have is uncouth foulness. Very sad that such an unsavory quality is not matched by even minimal intelligence that can prevent you from talking and making a bigger fool of yourself. You really should learn to shut up.

jmaine: Una go wait for impeachment tire . . .Chil till when the NASS over stretch their selfish politics over constituency projects . . .

No need talking too much . . .Na Naija we dey . .No be today . . .

Gbawe: All these back and forth becomes tedious in the end. We should simply wait to see how events play out. Rancid smell will assail the nose sooner or later.

Exactly, by hearing from Ngozi herself and not Ayim. Ngozi is de-facto prime minister, wettin Ayim knows however details of what she will say has already been presented to the senate from her ministry or does she have something else in mind? Time will tell

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) today (Wednesday July 25, 2012), confirmed that the implementation of the 2012 budget has reached 56% from 39% as at the end of May.

Briefing State House Correspondents at the end of the council meeting chaired by President Goodluck Jonathan, the minister of finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala said that the 56% represents 324 billion naira of the 404 billion so far released.

Not hard to see even tenacious Gbawe is getting tired.

Ah ha
