there is no award for foolishness. As fayose hates pmb, he still ask senators to clear fayemi for minister, but alas! My people will reject any good from this govt because their hate. This is project their idol could not do in 6yrs. Did amechi insert keke-napep & local roads without design in the budget also, pls get sense.

sCun:
I was wondering how a minister will just approach the Senate to add sonething to an already presented budget. A mere minister. People should learn to think.

igala1:
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.

Flexherbal:
We have heard. Let us move on.
If it is important and can be inserted, do that. It will benefit the people.

herbie27:
Ameachi acts b4 he thinks, and feels he can do anything because he has the president in his pocket.

I bet Bubu gave him the go ahead.

cktheluckyman:
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

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.

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!!

neolboy:
padded budget

ayindejimmy:
Since the NASS claim the Lagos/Calabar rail project is not part of the budget, if I may ask, what did they want to use the fund allocated to it for?
All these is happening because of the friction between the legislature and the Executive if not, whats the big dea? This is a project that'll benefit Nigerians and we're arguing over trivial issues
