Why are all exonerating Ameachi. NASS shouldn't be blamed for a ministry's error. Ameachi never included it in the budget. The all uprising in NASS over the missing Lagos-Calabar railway still amazes me.

We should put the blame on Ameachi for such fatal flaw.
Should justice be sacrificed on the ground of technicalities? I'm so surprise to know that majority of people opposing the Lagos-calabar rail are southners because of their rivalry with Amaechi... The southern part of the country is bigger thatn one man. If not for witch-hunting, Amaechi never included it initially but he later brought it in which you think shouldn't be allowed? Good. What's about senators including items into budget that were never submitted by the executive? I guess you don't see anything wrong in that too. Excellent!

By the time the northerners are through with you all, we all be here when we start hearing "Buhari marginalized the southerners"!

I thought ipod members and chldren of hate justified the action of NASS.

So this has been going on for years and I'm very sure that during jonathan, it was a free money for all becos he was clueless and his finance minister has even come out to say he lacked the will to save.
In ur very own eyes, buhari will succeed and he will be there till 2023.

Saraki's family has held Kwara in bondage for over four decades. Now Bukola, the son of the Olusola Saraki believes he has grown big to do to Nigeria what his family has done to Kwara. I lost my first ever investment in stock (Societe General Bank) thanks to this rogue family. Bukola supervised the looting of that bank and he was not even 30 years of age at that time. PMB should investigate what these fools at NASS have done with huge money allocated to them in the past for constituency projects. Enough is enough. If Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will Nigeria. Now corruption if determined to fight back. Nonetheless, Nigerians have a huge reservoir of hope that PMB is determined to stamp out what it is that is ailing us - corruption.

Just see as everyone is shouting NASS.

The last time I checked, the perpetrators of such acts are major APC big wigs in the house, and also from the northern extraction, PMB's brothers and party members, my take is, why are they so bent on tarnishing his image? Why are they so bent on ridiculling him?

I also read it somewhere that PDP senators mainly from ss/se are in support of PMB's decisions of not signing the budget until everything is rectified.

That was the idea for my comment.


Why are APC led members of the NASS be sabotaging his efforts?

I thought they are saints.


I am not a political party apologist, or politicians apologist.

I call a spade a spade when I see one,

I criticise PMB when I see that what he is doing is somehow wrong and I also give credence to his good works.

I have always condemned saraki for the disgrace he is bring to NASS and also to all those senators backing him too.


I am for good governance.

The only thing I clamour for is for all fight against corruption to spread it's tentacles across all Nigerians no matter ur political party affiliation .but when u make it look as if it is one sided? NO, I don't subscribe to that. Also maintain the rule of law too.





Maintaining the rule of law will go a long way into moulding this country and judiciary as a whole, govt will stop employing charge and bail lawyers to represent them simply because they will thwart judgement in their favour because of the government might. It will make them to go back to the drawing board, to investigate b4 arrest and prosecution.


Only when this is achieved will the NASS and other politicians, public office holders know that the game has changed, thus curt ailing their insatiable thirst for corruption. I mean, when a guy on the street steals a phone of 2k, he is sent to 2yrs in jail, but when a politician steals 20billion naira, he gets a court injunction restraining the relevant bodies from investigating or arresting him

First of all, I must say, I respect ur quote, it's brilliant, nd it shows ur neutrality, buh if we must face fact, if u r going to pursue all corrupt leaders, not minding which party they belong to, then we will have no leaders, isn't tht impossible to achieve, the man called Buhari n his youth would have been able to achieve that, buh as a grand father, there r limitations to what he can do.... I am also neutral, but I think so far do good, to d best of my knowledge, he has done a good job, as for witch hunting, I cannot say Ameachi for instance doesn't have skeleton in his cupboard or fashola or other APC governors, but these guys funded his campaign, played a huge role in bringing him to power, if u were n his shoes, wud u immediately turn arnd to jail all of them, it's impossible, I think it's only logical to start with d opposition who just left power....saraki for instance, is he not an APC member, is he not facing corruption charges, yes he is nd Buhari chose to look the other way..... Let's give him some credit......

bro seriously? What does stealing has to do with a party?

Stealing is a personal act regardless of the region or the party. Those thieves budget their personal money to their constituency n u r relating it to regional/party thing? Nawa o cry

Nice assertions, leaders all over the world aims are to create a better future for its citizens.

U know, in as much as majority of Nigerians are very corrupt to the grass roots, but u can attest to the fact that Nigerians yawned for change, they wanted to see things done differently in this country for once and they were very ready to support that change, thus many voted for PMB, many believed in him, I am an exception to those who believed in him, nevertheless,my vote never counted.

U made mention of amaechi, fashola and other who funded his campaign as to have some skeletons up their cupboard. But u can aswell go with me that "leadership is by example", Nigerians are always guided by the principles of "eye service". When u preach good and u condone bad people as friends and trusted allies, what do u expect the people u are preaching good to do? Of course they will call u a hypocrite, people don't believe in hypocrites.

What am I saying? PMB saw all those allegations hanging on his self acclaimed saints, and then overlooked it and then went after others, it didn't stop corruption, it took corruption to a greater new level, and it is killing the democracy of this country.

U must be a friend of PMB or never challenge him else u will be tried, (tying is not the problem here, but DSS will violate all your fundamental human rights, they never investigated u, they never tried u, but u are being detained for nothing), now even if some people are innocent, they will be afraid to speak because their rights will be stripped off them, weda innocent or not.

On the long run, everyone will try to become friends with the presidency to avert such actions being meted out on them. And what effect will it have on the war against corruption? NO EFFECT at all. As all will still be carrying out their corrupt trades after all we are allies with the president.
And it keeps going down to the grass roots too .and then after 4yrs or 8yrs, another person enters and all goes to his side to avoid being probed, it goes on and on and on and corruption is still there un fought.


We all knew what happened after all those allegations on amaechi where made public, even if PMB wants to still have them in his cabinets, there are so many ways to kill a rat without shedding blood.

But now, many have seen it, this man was accused for so,so and so corrupt practices, u did nothing but to appoint him a minister, u think people are not watching? U think the youths are daft?


Bet me, if things keep going this way, 2019 will be a do or die affair. Those that tot they were being witch hunted or being forced to shut up and never speak will fight so hard to get a revenge and those who are being covered now will also fight so hard to make sure power is not taken from them else they will smell what others are smelling now.



He who wants to appear b4 equity should do so in clean hands. If u want to fight corruption, do it with totality, don't favour some for reasons best known to u, the law is a no respecter of anyone/tribe/religion. Else, u re creating rooms for more corruption.

U can attest to the fact that since PMB's inception that there has been many reported cases of corruption under his nose, TSA, CBN recruitments,NNPC, subsidy palava and so many of them. Why? Because the people involved knew PMB will do nothing because they are his friends or party members. Some people must be scape goats, let amechi, fashola and all those PMB's frinds, be a sacrificial lambs to this war against corruption and u will see everyone changing.


Because people will be like, "hmm, see what PMB did to people who brought him to power, abeg make I park well, because if this man catch me, he will not hear abeg", and that will be cautions, people will start knowing that there is no partiality in this war.


I just pray he gets it right after all, na we the common masses Ee go help on the long run

See your hatred life!!!


You just hate Ameachi.

At first, no any missing budget, the real story was a secret call to amend it,but the senete started saying stolen budget while house of Rep were saying theirs was intact.

Later, Ameachi went and got it defended, I wonder why do they deduct from Ameachi part? They want to tag Ameachi as a controversial man.

While the northern NASS members were busy lobbying for projects, our southern NASS members were busy tweeting/defending alleged follow/pursuing Abuja aristoss/still sleeping in 2015 election/personal hatred passion for PBM and Ameachi rather fighting for their districts and constituency..........
The man call Ameachi.


God is always on his side............

whats ur problem with the south? The northerners that padded the budget are now losing sleep here u are blaming the south for being on the side of fairness! The south acts,u wicked at heart ppl will scream greediness; they keep calm,u blame them of whatever..ur hatred for the south will lead u to nowhere. Mtcheew
