GOd bless Nigeria.[/i]

Stop spreading rumors and propaganda from your useless source.
Jonathan worked on and made substantial progress on this rail project unlike the Judas of Ubima.

The Rivers Monorail has already arrived...

And it's about to take off...

jaybee:
That it took the grace of APC to complete the first ever standard gauge rail line, started by PDP in its 16 years of national mismanagement is not a cause for any glory to GEJ in particular or PDP in general.

Please tell us how APC paid for it since-

- they met an empty treasury hence they could not deliver their campaign promises?
- they have no budget of their own up till now?

Thanks.

When you think you have heard the worst, they will just dig out another one.

With all these revelations and expositions, I have not seen what Jonathan did that was void of wastefulness and misappropriation.

Thank God for change of power. I believe PDP people are learning now, if for whatever reason they come back to power, they should learn how to do things well without sharing the money.

I pity people like you who are stuck in one way view.
Have you seen the CCTV bought by Fashola?
No.

Lagos Deploys Additional 1,000 CCTV Cameras
21 Jan 2014

The Lagos State Government Monday disclosed that it would soon begin the installation of additional 1,000 Close Circuit Television (CCTV), which it said, would help beef up security and crime monitoring in the state.

With the latest development, the number of security cameras, which are in operation across the state would be 2,200, out of which the federal government earlier deployed 1,000 and the state government 1,200.

However, Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN), disclosed the plans to install additional 1,000 CCTV at the public security system demonstration at the Lagos State Security Command and Control Centre, Alausa.

donglazy:
The Lagos State Government yesterday said it had concluded plans to install 10,000 Close Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras statewide as part of measures to ensure that the state is secure against the activities of terrorists in the light of the insurgency rocking the country

Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Mr. Akinyemi Ashade, said this while giving a breakdown of the 2016 budget, tagged ’The Peoples’ Budget’, saying the government will also activate the existing 1,000 CCTV cameras already installed in the state.

According to him, “We will be expanding our ICT infrastructure statewide. Consequently, a budget of N9.6 billion has been approved for this purpose in 2016. This will include a Smart City project targeted at deploying technology to enhance security in the state. It will also aid our revenue generating efforts.

Where were these holy representaTHIEVES all this while?
I forgot that they were busy fighting over juicy committee positions and their ILLEGITIMATE salaries and allowances.
Meanwhile their mumu constituents were all screaming president this, president that like depraved beings.

Monimatic:
Two members of the House of Representatives, Hon. Herman Hembe and Hon. Aliyu Sani Madaki, on Tuesday exchanged slaps over the issue of juicy committees.

The Reps, both of who are members of the All Progressives Congress, slapped themselves in the White House within the National Assembly.
The altercation occurred before the day’s sitting began.

It took the intervention of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yusuf Lasun, to separate Hembe (APC-Benue) and Madaki (APC-Kano).

There had been altercations over the allocation of chairmanship of House Committees by the Speaker, Hon. Yakubu Dogara.
There were allegations of favouritism in the allocation of the headship of the committees.
Hembe emerged as the chairman of the Committee on the Federal Capital Territory, which is considered as a Grade A committee and by extension juicy.

You comment is outrageous and disgraceful. This silly statement calling entire Nigeria zoo really show your silliness thank God you said 200 million heads including yourself can you see how slow poke you are

Calling Nigeria Zoo is an act of insult so Mr man because of one misguided untrained anuofia called Kanu who failed to acted with his sense but failed and embarked on this journey without full support of at least 85% of the igbo and forgot this is 2015/16 not 1966.

As far as I'm concern despite my parent are from that region after watching a video clip made by kanu and listened to his careless statement, kanu you have committed a treason and felony offense and you must be clamp down no where in the world anybody I mean anybody will utter such reckless statement and not be arrest and jail no where so Nigeria is no exception so I don't care what anyone says mine is this guy was wrong and should be dealt with. Period!!! Take it or leave it.

Stop foaming in the mouth and read my post slowly then point out where I called our country a zoo.
Thanks.

2n2k:
It was financed by Chinese loan which Obj negotiated but was initially jettisoned by Yardua govt before good reason prevailed.

Obj govt started the loan negotiation with Chinese in 2002 because the revenue available to his govt then was minimal. Oil was around $20 then. By 2006/2007 when the contract was eventually signed with the Chinese, oil was around $50/60 but he was committed to other projects by then and didn't see the reason not to allow the loan financing to go ahead. Yardua that took over in 2007 thought differently and suspended the contract.

GEJ reinstated the contract with the loan financing even with oil price at over $110.

No need gloating. Let us just thank God that the project was delivered by whoever govt.

Thanks for the highlighted nuggets of truth in your post.
Point of correction though- Niger Delta crude oil prices were highest during Yar'Adua's administration and the Turai CABAL made off like bandits while her husband was wasting away in Saudi Arabia

Where are the trains Fashola inspected in Canada some ago?

Tinubu and Fashola have used our taxes, federal allocation and LOANS to play kalokalo aka Jeun soke, Jeun sapo wobiliki wobia.

Firefire:
Fellow Nairalanders, in response to Fashola comments below on not receiving enough support from the federal government to complete the Lagos light rail project.

[size=15pt]
"Fashola said all over the world, when cities and states build municipal rails like what Lagos is doing, their central governments support them morally and financially"[/size]

https://www.nairaland.com/2120455/cant-complete-lagos-light-rail

Few months ago same Fashola said this:


[size=15pt]Lagos: How We Spent N160bn World Bank Loan on Light Rail Project[/size]

The Lagos State Government yesterday justified the N160 billion it borrowed from the World Bank, noting that the fund was channelled to finance its light rail (blue line) project.

However, the state government expressed disappointment at the progress of the project, which it said, was not executed as smoothly as possible, but was optimistic of its completion.

The state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said this shortly after inspecting the light rail terminus at the Orile-Iganmu part of the state alongside some members of the state executive council.

Speaking with journalists, Fashola said the project would have been completed in another 12 months despite that the project execution was not as smooth and speedy as he wanted it.

The governor raised questions on the intention of the federal government for publishing the state debt profile in the recent time, wondering what could have informed the decision to make it public.

He said: “I think it was the Debt Management Office of the federal government that published the report that we have a debt of about N160billion. I do not know the intent of the publication.

“But if it was to inform the public, I think we have always kept the public informed anytime we borrow money. If there are other intentions behind that, only those who make the publication would know what the intentions are.

“But you see, when people talk about debt of a state like Lagos, they forget that after Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt and one other country, we have the fifth largest economy in Africa.

“When you are talking of about a billion naira debt to a population of over 21 million people; because if you are measuring the debt, you also have to measure the responsibility. Those are the things people keep in isolation.”

He, therefore, explained that the state government already “has in place, strategies to repay the loan. The federal government was in the know of the state’s decision to take the bond and it approved it.”

[size=15pt]He added that the truth “is that what they do not also say is that no state in Nigeria can borrow money outside, from any multilateral agencies without the approval of the federal government.[/size]

“What they did not say is that they approved it. No state can raise money by bond the way we have done without the federal government’s approval. [size=18pt]Both SEC and NSE are all federal regulatory agencies through which we must pass. If they said okay, it means there must be something good about the debt.
[/size]

“Our rating as a state is the same as that of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, BB minus-stable with a positive outlook. We are the only state in Nigeria that has that rating. The first bond that was taken during my first tenure has been paid; the first tranche has been paid.

“I think the second tranche will be settled around 2016 or 2017. We are already making provisions. The provisions that will be there will be in excess of what is needed,” the governor said

Fashola expressed satisfaction on the progress of the light rail project, though decried the petty delay that was encountered as a result funding, saying the project would have should have been completed in another 12 months.

I have faith the money would be used judiciously and not embezzled in such a brazen and callous manner as witnessed in previous admins.

For all those who would flood here to throw tantrums, do this little math:

Your Hero was taxing Nigerians over 30 naira per litre of fuel. If you buy just 2litres, you've been "taxed" 60 naira. Do an estimate of the amount the government was making with regards to out total daily consumption- that was what they were realising under the phantom SURE-p. Pray tell, what exactly did they do with all that money??

Can't wait for a comprehensive probe of that programme- I'm sure we'd stumble on another gargantuan "gate".

These APCshit LIARS don't know when not to tell their useless LIES that only expose their sordid HYPOCRISY.

Bro, I think only those Christians who want to be officials in the church are required by the Bible to have one wife. That is what Apostle Paul wrote in one of his Epistles. There is no other explicit reference in the Bible requiring Christians to have just one wife.

Buhari's priority is NOT the sports for youths.
No!
It is to spread PROPAGANDA through social media "change agents"
