Tokt:
Kachukwu is just deceiving gullible eediots telling them what they want to hear. Amaechi is on point.

Mamog:
its your type that supports PMB's abandonment of governance to pursue treasury looters. look at where we are today.a failed economy.
Can you please tell me:
1. why did PMB not abandon the war on Boko haram till all looted funds by Dasuki and the military top men are retrieved
2. Why did PMB not order the closure of NNPC till all monies supposedly looted by Deziani is recovered
3. Why did the Nigerian not proceed on compulsory leave till Saraki's issue is closed
4. Why did PMB not close NIMASA who paid those monies till those monies are retrieved.
5. why didn't Wike abandon governance in rivers state until Amaechi returns the money he misappropriated on his mono rail project?
now on the issue of maritime university.
6.So because a mechanic swindled you while carrying repairs on your vehicle you will abandon the vehicle with him till returns the peanut he stole from you.
7. why did government not stop oil exportation till all vandals and militants have been arrested..

we are this backward as a nation because people like you support mediocrity because of tribe or party affiliation. the Hon Minister of State for Petroleum asked a simple question ' should we throw away the baby and the bath water' you and Amaechi should answer that question.
what if the land speculators refused to return the money received for the land and are prepared to die will you auction their corpse to retrieve the money?
Please re think .. you are on the wrong side of logic and you are not making any sense at all

omokab:
My own point on this is that both of them were saying the same a good thing. Amechi is right on the fact that, the fraud level on the project is too high. While allowing the looters to have as saying on a project like this. Kachukwu on the other hands is looking for a soft landing to allowing him continue his job so that the militant will stop blowing the pipeline and allow the economy to grow. This University issue is one the conditions given to federal government to stop blowing pipelines in the Niger delta. I think the best thing to do Is allowing the university project to go on and continue tracing the fraud so that peace will reign. Then, somebody up there said kachukwu as a minister should know the cost of valuing land, it doesn't work like that bcs he's not a valuer. He dosnt know anything about land valuation. Truely, he may know that the cost is outrageous but is not his duty.

TheGoodJoe:
I watched the Kachikwu vs Amaechi video going viral online and I see majority supporting Kachikwu's point. Continuing the project.

I disagree because the Fraud is too much. Hon. Amaechi proved in Rivers State that he can achieve befitting projects when he has the money.

Hon. Amaechi’s point:
"I am not against the University. I hope you people appreciate that. My argument about Okerenkoko is that the land alone is N13 billion. That N13 billion has built the university already so there is no need to spend more money. Let EFCC retrieve the money from them and then release them and we would build the University."

I do not understand what is wrong in this statement. The money is enough to purchase the land and build the University. The point is clear. Continuing with the project means supporting a monumental fraud.


Hon. Kachikwu's point:
“First let me say on Maritime University, I disagree with the minister of transport. Any facility that is placed in the south south, we should work towards developing it. I don’t care the circumstances under which we are placed… It is not my position to determine whether land was valued at N19 billion or N10 billion or N3 billion. The appropriate institutions which are the court systems will determine that."

I do not understand what people are applauding in this statement. Is Hon. Amaechi against the Maritime University? No. Amaechi clearly stated that when he retrieves the money, he will build the University.

Kachikwu said he is not in position to determine the valuation of the land. Please, this is ridiculous. We ars talking of the valuation of the project.

Amaechi is saying that the money is enough to buy the land and build the university. A minister should be able to value a project.

Amaechi was right and I wonder why people is celebrating Kachikwu's point. This is a case of stopping a fraud. Going on with the project is detrimental to the development of the project.

Below are pics of an Hon. Amaechi project which was close to the cost for just the land for this University project. Golf Estate Port-Harcourt.

Thebachelor:
I go with Kachikwu;continue with the project. That won't stop the government from trying to retrieve the money.

gocac:
What do You expect from kachukwu who can not even get Us fuel? A man who had the guts to tell Nigerians he wants all corruption cases against the south south ppl squashed, meaning I'm ok with corruption... That is why he said he does not care about why land alone should be N13bn. Another vein in APC carrying that same PDP blood that left Nigeria in the state of mockry and shame for 16yrs. Return the money and have a maritime... You never know amaechi...he will not build ooh.. Until the. Money is returned, then let's see kachukwu will look like at the end of the day.

WhiskeyTangoFox:


U make it sound like 2 different maritime schools are sufficient for the entire country. As someone who's at d fore negotiating with the militants about their agitation, Kachikwu in the wisdom God has granted him was being diplomatic, something the current administration has failed to embrace but yet, has yielded a ceasefire for the time being. U say it hasn't been budgeted for but u forget d end of d year is fast approaching and plans can commence for it to b included in the nxt budget. EFCC can carry on their investigation but it doesn't mean plans shld be scrapped. Tompolo duped his community, yet u want these same victims along with the rest of d Niger Delta to be deprived of a platform dat can create thousands of jobs and benefits to the region. Clearly from ur delusional perspective, the priorities of the government are the selective fight against corruption, the continuous degradation of the Niger Delta region and the channelling of d proceeds away from the region. U need to snap out of dis narrow minded and myopic reasoning of urs.

989900E:


You are 100% correct!

However, I have come to realize that the people from some part of Bayelsa and Delta are just like the almajiris, they reason alike. You can't use conventional sense of reason with them . . . if you get what I mean. For peace and progress, just let them wear their plastic crown.

madridsta007:



Hon. Amaechi proved in Rivers State that he can achieve befitting projects when he has the money.

Yeah... Like the Rivers State Monorail Project which Amaechi Spent over $400 million... And yet still abandoned it at this stage.

Attached is the picture of the 'befitting project' Amaechi achieved.

Nicur:
Oga so because there is corruption in Nigeria, you have stop everything in Nigeria to tackle it? life goes on bro! it doesn't call for cancellation of the project!! investigate the alleged corruption and reaward the contract, and stop playing politics with it!! looking for cheap popularity and scoring political points, we all know what happened in Rivers state when he was the governor!

AceRoyal:
Kachikwu was and is right!
Build it first to appease the Niger Delta and then go after those who the government feels have defrauded them.
Only people devoid of proper reasoning will disagree.

Amaechi wants to remove his nose to spite his face.
He is devoid of proper reasoning on this matter.
Seems Kachikwu isn't a full zombie after all.

ideaz:
Here in Nigeria, if you wait for the money to be recovered before proceeding with the project, you really never wanted to do the project seriously speaking.

They recover the loots for another looters on the waiting line.

saintdennis:


Very true!.. If this was 2009.

But it's 2016 funds are scarce in relation to MANY competing projects.

And NDA blowing up pipelines n reducing govt revenue ain't helping matters.

I see nothing wrong with amaechi's statement, in fact i'm unhappy with a line in kachickwu's statement where he mentioned SS. He has automatically politicised that university issue which is very sad.

But I like the fact they disagreed on the issue... shows they both committed and this ain't a cabinet filled with 'yes men'

ricsman:
Haters will always hate even without reasons to hate.... PDP is still angry....

13billion naira for just land... how much will the structures cost na....

SWG25:
1. Golf Estate is a private investment not a public one.
2. Amaechi is a disgusting hypocrite. This is the same man that sunk over a 100 billion naira on light rail project when port harcourt was in dire need of good roads and power.
3. The value of the Land is subjective. It is not for you to say whether it is expensive or not. The land owner knows and sets the value of the land.

Thebachelor:


I personally feel that Kachikwu was just being tacit. Amaechi comments were too loose and coming at a time when the FG is trying to dialogue with militants,they could be counterproductive.

What Kachikwu did,on the other hand,was to use wisdom and tact in an attempt to allay any fears or provocation that Amaechi's comments may have arouse. His mentioning of SS was deliberate;to show that this government has the people of that region at heart.

gare:


Do you know the actual cost of this project you just posted the project, you are so quick to defend Amaechi when you don't even have the facts and figures, we don't need pictures we need figures.

When you get me the figures we can then value the projects and tell if it's worth the cost.

For your information Amaechi left a lot of projects undone with large amount of monies more than the 13billion he shouting about. Amaechi doesn't have the moral justification to come out and call someone a thief because he is one himself, very soon his own case file will be opened

Hustoto:
Are you telling me that if 13billion has been expended for purchase of fire arms to fight boko haram and the money was squandered, will you recover the money first before you buy the fire arms to continue the fight or you will buy another set of fire arms and go after the looters later? amaechi should receive sense. he is a disgrace to the executive arm of govt and and disgrace to niger delta

InvertedHammer:

/
Build first.

Retrieve the money later.

Build with what? Air?

Government is running low on cash. Where will they get the money to continue building? Apparently there is no real valuation for the contracts. I guess folks want the FG to keep throwing money into the bottomless pit.

Jboogie912:


OP. you did not get what kachikwu said.

he said that the project should not be stopped. it should go ahead, simultaneously the collection of the money would be handled by the court system. He is not saying that they should forget the money.

it doesnt make sense to abandon the project while waiting for the money.

U simply don't get it do u?
The two maritime universities is just enough for the country now because it ain't filled up yet and no complaints of congestion yet. Added to this is they both have the capacity to expand. Why go for another school when we are yet to fully maximise the one we have even now that there is scarcity of funds? Should that be our priority.
Amaechi knows this because it's in his ministry. Kachukwu doesn't know. He is ignorant.
Rest of ur post is plain Bunkum. Shove it into ur anus.

Tokt:


1) can u swear on the life of ur seeds ( born and unborn) that the pictures u showed is indeed the true reflection of what is on ground as at today on Azikwe Road?
2) can u also swear the same way that u got ur figures right?

WhiskeyTangoFox:



U have daft written all over u.

U right

If this University was redundant, then why did the FG see need to come up with the idea?

The main idea was to siphon money through this elephant project. It wasn't meant to be completed. Already tompolo has pocketed over 12 billion. Boyloaf and ateke were next.

U say the other maritime schools are not up to capacity, wot comprehensive survey have u carried out to arrive at dis conclusion?

Why carry out a survey on what I already know. Besides, two of my workers are currently schooling there on scholarship. Secondly, the minister who should know has one time voiced the same here in Ph. Shut ur trap, u know nothing.

No one said it's a priority, it's jst one of d means of developing the region.

So in ur extremely daft state, there is no other far pressing needs of the people that funds can be channeled to to bring development eh? Rubbish.

Kachikwu doesn't know but yet, he's yielding results in the dialogue with those agitated.

Those agitated are nothing but criminals. if those Togo boys chooses not to cooperate, it's a matter of time they will be flushed out. Above all, all is suffering from their madness. Again, Kachikwu knows nothing about the Maritime school. Amaechi knows better.

I see ur one of those keyboard warriors dat believe they are capable of running this country in the form of a feeble online alias. U lack the intellect to make a clear case for ur delusional reasoning. I hereby decline to respond to any prospective daft comments u make☺[/s]

Senseless.

jamesibor:


And what if he is unable to retrieve the money as is becoming evident now it may not be retrieved?

So if money for the construction of the road leading to your village was looted, you'll advise government to recover the money first before continuing with the project? You are really intelligent.

Or if you gave your food supplier money to supply foodstuffs for the family and she uses the money for her personal affair, will you wait to recover the money from her before providing food for your family?
