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

Call it cross carpeting

Achuwa1:
Saraki & his click are smart by removing southern project & left tht of the North coz southerners has more zombies & wailers coz they are more outspoken in terms of media & others.
i saw dis coming & i knew saraki will fight back.
tht means the budget itself still has things tht will nail pmb in it.
pmb impeachment is already smelling

Why not address the issues at hand instead of dreaming about PMB impeachment.

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

For ur dream abi Read my lips kid,ur Ekweremadu is going to jail as well. U dey see am talk self? Na d fear of forgery him and saraki did dey worry am. Just sit and look as things unfold.

Lol. See foolish PDP senators depriving their regions just to oppose Buhari.

Talk about cutting your nose to spite your face.

Leave am make him dey dream. Nonsense.

Fuckers tried to set buhari up. If he had signed the budget, the same IPOB wankers would be screaming marginalization

Amitex:
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??

The last time I checked, the Lagos-Kano line is also on the same 'concession.'

otr1:

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.

Ignore them Most of them are just full of hatred for PMB. When the Budget implementation begins now they will still turn around to shout marginalization.

PDP is a sad burden on Nigeria..

what has PDP got to do with this? Does the national asassembly not have more APC members? If they cut this budget, there must be a reason.you people should use like 5mins to think before making response to issues

Will hear the explanation from the National Assembly first before an adequate response.

When is this country waking up from coma?

Never
Dont hold your breath. If you see wayvto leave this cesspit pls do

Why allocating for ambulance which was not budgeted for in place of polio nd HIV /drugs. What happened to inflected amounts discovered during d budget defence.
I smell foul play here. Ben Bruce over to you

But they were quick to approve and sign a bill against women..

tuale4u:
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.

May your days be long. U saw through the write up

Missing budget, missing project , missing promises.
Who is deceiving who?
When he lack ideas, he will throw out one confusing statement.
Nah part of the chain .

Abi ooo.

MOST SENATORS WERE LURED INTO THIS BUDGETARY INFAMY BY PDP AND SARAKI

This sabotage strategy was not unexpected.
PDP and Saraki were there to undermine every effort to stop the old practices.
Saraki is bargaining with Buhari to back off or.....
The President will just have to say No to this aspect of War of corrupt Leaders against the wishes of Nigerians

Buhari should not give in to tje antics of these senators, return the darm thing.

First it was the Directors in the Budget Office and now it is the parliamentarians. Why do these people hate this country this much?

The stupidity that transerve the length n breath of the igbotic nation is enormous. I have repeatedly queried many of your likes on NL, what right or justification do you have to suggest what project should be embark upon by a govt you never voted for ?

Now listen good democracy as a form of govt only offers best of available alternatives it does not offer you paradise, it is not redemption so you either make do with what Igbo's in the APC want as project that will be beneficial to them n their communities or what till Jonathan is returned.

Beside how many of your generation did Jonathan concessioned to pay for the second Niger bridge you are wailing about or was it not this same Buhari that save your generation from paying for just a bridge with the future of your unborn generation s.

If you care to know common sense should ordinarily tell you a rail system is as efficient as a port and way beta than a second bridge when the first bridge is still very active. If the Igbo's sincerely need a seaport they should do a visibility study n seek partners just like the Yoruba are doing with Lekki port or simply wait to vote in an Igbo or friendly Igbo president to initiate the project and stop disturbing others on NL.

We shall correct this foolishness by 2019 Insha Allah

There was a country!!! The Nass claimed they reduced d budget spending by 17bn now executive claims it was reduced by close to 70bn.

Jombojombo:

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

Dnt b reasoning like a dullard,those projects are among other things are made 2 stimulate d economy.

THIS IS THE MOST ARTICULATE SUBMISSION ON THIS MATTER THUS FAR.

IF THE UNDERLYING PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED LAGOS - CALABAR RAIL LINE IS TO FACILITATE THE MOVEMENT OF GOODS FROM THE LAGOS PORTS TO OTHER SOUTHERN STATES, IS IT NOT BETTER TO DEVELOP THE CALABAR PORT INSTEAD?
.
AFTER ALL OVER 80% OF GOODS ENTERING THE COUNTRY THROUGH THE LAGOS PORTS END UP IN THE SOUTH EAST.

TPAND:
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.

Stop reaasoning like dullard?budget not realistic?but nass has earmarked #5billion for their brand new cars,d fed.got has #3trillion in revenue in d 1st quater already,u shld ask Y d Nass still want constituency projects.

this govt its just confuse.

wasting time or buying time.

no one knows.......

urboy1:
Wait.... I thought the senate only reduced the budget by 17B naira.?? where is 68.7Billlion naira and others figures coming from?

They hav hidden that in their famous "constituency projects".
