There must be a reason for that, after all that is a new route

The two major rail lines we have are not even working yet and they want to creat a new one, does that make sense to you?

NASS advice to the dullard must have been for him to get the two major rail lines (Lagos-Kano & PH-Maiduguri) working first before thinking of a new one. Everything must not be for political gains! Am sure this was the reason why Osinbajo said GEJ did not construct new road. Why will you construct a new road when the ones you have are not working yet?
People with shallow brain full this govt sha

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.

Many of them are APC on paper, but still PDP by birth and mentality....

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.

Jombojombo:

Short up with ur cheap propaganda

Who controls the NASS?

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

tit:
the wise men in the nASS must have cogent reasons why they cut the burget in this manner to stop the theiving sivil cervanst from stealing the budget again.
support the wise men that we sent to monitor the padding of the burget

You don't even know what you are saying..

shikshark:
When is this country waking up from coma?

...no budget and we are we close to half of the year. Just what's the meaning of this nonsense?

fyneguy:
Incredible!

So Southern Senators were there when this was done, right?

Kudos to Buhari for ''belonging to everybody''

We can now see that the southerners are their own problems.

Any NL resident psychics have a clue when we'll get this passed?

The senate did the right thing, sentiments apart.

The budget is not realistic. Let's face fact. Under the present Economic woes, we can't achieve 45% of the budget.

The confusion is that NASS only reduce the Budget total sum by 17billion.

The reduced Major capital projeect by almost 100billion.

Where did NASS put the almost 80billion difference?

Your guess is as good as mine.

NASS must have used it to pad corruption filled Constituency project.

Wait.... I thought the senate only reduced the budget by 17B naira.?? where is 68.7Billlion naira and others figures coming from?

Warrris wrong with these peeps sef? Haba. The country is being run on auto pilot shaaa

I just knew they must have done something fraudulent by delaying the details of the budget. Bunch of criminals in our legislaTHIEF arm. These are the key people stalling Nigeria's growth.

Saraki must Go for incompetence.

aresa:
Why sabotage your own country's progress because of greed and petty politics?


PDP is a sad burden on Nigeria..

Don't rush! Your wailing will start proper when Ekweremadu takes over.

How come first budget of this APC government has become a rocket science.

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??

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

You tried to sould wise, but at the end, you actually made a fool of yourself. I mean, you guys are pathetic. If Buhari goes ahead to sign this budget, you guys will scre to the high heavens how Buhari hates the south, how the SW have entered one chance, bla bla bla. What will ever satisfy you guys. Why are u bent on seeing this government fail? NASS claimed the reduced the budget by just 17bn naira. Meanwhile a whoopingq amount was slashed from capital projects. Where are those amounts hiding. Inside their constituency projects and you are here yarning dust. Little wonder they wanted him to sign without seeing details. Meanwhile our southern senators and honourables opened their eyes wide open while this was going on, while Northern Lag to Kano remained with a kind of slash. I am sorry for u....your redemption is far from you. You even failed to see thisMajor federal roads slashed,Polio eradication, essential drugs for HIV/AIDS expunged

D content of ur writeup can't be seen as constructive, instead its lacks reasoning..
Why will d President pit a tent of discord between d lawmakers and the masses?

Egalitarian78, please ignore prince088. He is a walking dead.

I think buhari have made his complain so let. Us wait to here from nass as they must have a reason.

Perhaps you should once again read thoroughly between the lines.The earlier we identify our enemy in this country the better we commence stoning them.

On issues like this you will never hear Sen. Ben Bruce. Oh I forgot let me check him out on twitter

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.

Today is my birthday can i get 1000likes of fuel.

The budget padding cabal will do everything to frustrate this government.Its for Buhari to remain firm and resolute on transparency.

Useless sinators. Mtcheww.

amaechi1:


who looses? Lagos-kano kept. Calabar-lagos removed (Imagine the corridor: Calabar-Abia-Imo-Delta-ondo-Ogun-lagos)

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.
