TheGoodJoe:With respect Sir, THE POINT IS THAT YOU MISS THE POINT. I want this project budgeted & executed; it is one of my dream projects. If you read my posts carefully, you will understand that my simple point is that it does not lie in the mouth of the Presidency/Amaechi to attack the NASS over the project when the Presidency itself never included it in the budget they presented to NASS; that is all I am saying. You & I can shout about it but I am saying the Presidency should not claim to be the good guys here while the NASS become the villains. If what you are saying are the facts then it means it was NASS (through it's Committee on Transport) that recommended the project sequel to the budget defence while the same NASS (through its Committee on Appropriations) rejected the recommendation. My point therefore is that while the rest of us ordinary citizens can scream at NASS for refusing the recommendation, etc, the Presidency has no moral grounds to scream at NASS for excluding a project the Presidency itself failed to include in the budget they sent to NASS. THE WAY FORWARD: instead of the Presidency to waste everyone's time throwing stones at NASS; they should sign the budget into law & immediately send a supplementary budget to NASS for the Calabar-Lagos Rail project |
TheGoodJoe:For Christ's sake how can you make a recommendation in favor of a project that is not in the budget? Please let us remove sentiments when discussing very urgent National issues. A budget is submitted to the entire Assembly not to Committees. Even when aspects of it are directed to appropriate Committees for action, fact remains that the duty of Committees is to discuss WHAT IS IN THE BUDGET. Those saying that a supplementary budget was sent don't know what they are talking about; there can be no supplementary budget when the original budget is yet to be signed into law. In any case, my point was very simple: it does not make sense to say that an item WAS REMOVED from the budget if it was never there in the first place. Whether it was discussed by relevant Committees notwithstanding that it was not budgeted in the first instance & recommendations made is a different thing altogether |
SageTravels:My brother, it amazes me when people simply refuse to use that grey matter in their head. Amaechi has been shouting himself hoarse that the National Assembly "REMOVED" the Lagos-Calabar Rail Project from the Budget. The simple question is: can NASS be accused of removing something that was never there in the first place? It is a different thing to say that they refused to accept his plea for it to be included during the budget defence. Amaechi who failed to include such a strategic project in the budget in the first place is now blameless while he uses his own mouth to insult the NASS? Smh |
doskie:That's a very apt explanation for the very many Nigerians with five year-old brains who have been shouting themselves hoarse over "Panama Papers" when they don't even understand what it means but I don't agree that almost everyone is in trouble because it is against the rules. There is no law anywhere banning offshore companies. An offshore company is simply a company registered by a person in another country in which he or she has shares. It could be in Benin Republic, Ghana or Panama or Belize. For a private person who is not a public person such as Dangote who has been mentioned for instance, it only becomes a problem if he earns money with it which is taxable in Nigeria but he fails to pay such tax in which case it is the same thing like millions of Nigerians including the thousands on Nairaland foaming at their mouths over Panama papers who don't pay their tax too. Not all money earned by offshore coys are taxable as it is only the USA of all countries in the world whose laws mandate that its citizens must pay tax on all earnings including those made abroad; other countries including in Europe & Nigeria do not. Dangote has cement countries in other countries for instance. If he registers a company in Panama & uses it to open a company in Kenya, he has the obligation to pay tax on his earnings from such companies to the Kenyan authorities but not to the Nigerian authorities if he keeps those earnings in an offshore account. The full complexity of it is too much to go into here so let me restrict a little to public officers. The law is that public officials should not run companies not that they should not own them. This applies to all companies whether in Nigeria or offshore. What thousands of public officials in Nigeria who ran businesses do upon being elected or appointed to public office is simply to resign from any employment or directorship of a company they hold. They continue to hold into their shares in those companies which should now be run by other people provided they declare all the shares they hold in every company whether domestic or offshore. The illegality is in failing to declare or paying tax as appropriate & that has to be proved. For many who have offshore or shell companies & want to keep their privacy, they simply transfer their shares in such offshore companies to trusts or other family members other than their wives before it is time to declare their assets such that at the point of declaration of assets, they have no such assets to declare. Therefore the fact that a public officials' name appears in Panama Papers in respect of a company registered in 1999 does not mean that he has committed any offense because that official could have disposed of his interests in March 2016 before assuming public office in May 2016 & has thus broken no laws, ETC |
MinCeteris:Watch again: this time with a good (not cheap chinko) system or phone & good internet connection. It's 15 minutes by the way just so you do not run away after 5 minutes because of bandwidth costs. >: ![]() Remember I gave you his full name & Constituency too |
Tallesty1:Hahahahaha, Bros, no shaking. I think it was Prof. Soyinka who said that THE MAN DIES IN HIM WHO KEEPS QUIET IN THE FACE OF TYRANNY. My manhood never die yetoooooo (apologies to Mama Peace ) Even the Daura DSS cannot shut us up in the face of bare-faced Tyranny |
We are now watching to see how the Buhari "anti-corruption" Government with its anti-corruption Agencies including the DSS which now leaves issues of State Security to delve into inanities, will react: WILL THEY DO THE NEEDFUL? Or is there one Rule for PDP & another for APC? Buhari's anti-corruption credential is on the line. Remember, this is INCONTROVERTIBLE VIDEO EVIDENCE of self CONFESSION by an APC Candidate of having given bribe to compromise the election. |
VIDEO: APC Candidate Demands Return Of N12m Bribe From Collation Officer Azubuike Chikere Wanjoku, APC House of Assembly candidate for Ikwere state constituency in Rivers State stormed INEC collation Centre in Port Harcourt, when he got wind of his defeat by the PDP candidate, demanding the INEC staff to give him back N12m he gave him as bribe to rig election for when.

hedonistic:My dear, I seriously shiver when I think of what is coming in 2019 with elections in 36 States of the Federation & the FCT at the same time. Apart from about 6 Governorship elections, all State House of Assembly, Reps, Senate & Presidential elections will take place within the same space of time in 2019. If elections in 22 out of 32 State Houses of Assembly & a few Reps & Senate seats in ONE State of Rivers could not be managed by INEC, then just imagine when the Presidency, about thirty Governorship & hundreds of legislative seats will be in play. May God help us |

This is terrible and not to be encouraged at all. What a man or woman choose to do in the privacy of their bedrooms is no other person's business for God's sake. What is my business with my neighbors' sexual orientation or preferences; what is yours? As long as they have not molested anyone or acted inappropriately in public, everyone should mind their business. Politicians are stealing us blind & robbing us of our coming heritage and we hail them to high heavens, worship them & sing their praises; no one raises a finger against them even though their actions affect us personally & directly yet we go and murder a man or woman because of his personal sexual preferences? Even if he committed a crime, is mob jungle justice the way to go? Is his death a fitting punishment for the "crime"? Are some people not arguing on this forum that 5 years imprisonment is too much penalty for a celebrity who killed a Medical Doctor by her negligence of DUI & yet death is an appropriate punishment for two men who decided what they prefer to do with their own bodies in private? SMH |
Eruditor:I am late to comment because I did not want to comment; reason being that I don't usually comment on legal issues when I don't have all the facts of a matter as what you get in the media is sometimes unreliable or out rightly false. I would however like to just say this: your reference to a burst tire shows you don't appreciate the issues. If she had a burst tire that led to an accident from which someone died; she won't be found guilty of manslaughter in the first place unless she was speeding excessively to the point that a burst tire would inevitably lead to the car swerving off to another lane or summersaulting. As you know, not all bust tires lead to swerves, etc. The point is that manslaughter connotes some form of negligence (such as DUI). To give an example: if I shoot my gate man with my pistol because I caught him on top of my wife, that is murder. If I accidentally shoot my gateman while trying to clean my pistol because I did not take the precaution of first putting the safety on & removing any bullet in the chamber, then that is manslaughter. Even if there is no DUI involved but only excessive speeding for instance or breaching traffick lights which leads to an accident from which death results, it is still manslaughter. I have not taken the time to look at the Criminal Code (which is at the office while I am home this Sunday) but if it is true, as some say, that the punishment for the offense is five years without option of fine; the the Appellate Court is right to set aside the sentencing by the trial Court and in its place impose the penalty prescribed by Statute |
This is TERRIBLE news. Rest in peace Learned Silk |
ShakurM:Is this really a surprise? Many ladies sadly feel they are nothing without a man's name attached to theirs & a cheap ring on their finger. You will see a lady with a Ph.D or a professional or otherwise doing very well for herself & yet she will allow society to pressure her into believing that all she is or has achieved is nothing without a man. Some choose to die in abusive relationships instead of leaving. They will tell you that "you don't understand" when you try to talk sense into them. In fact if you are with your own woman or man in a good relationship, it's worse because then they make it look like you are enjoying the company of your own partner while telling them to quit theirs. I am surprised a lot more women are not dead if you consider the amount of abusive relationships & domestic violence we have today |
rheether:You are waiting for that day? Like seriously? How is that a blessing to you assuming it happens? Why is such breakup your prayer point? I really would be interested to know |
Osyabj:LMFAO; this is the best rant you can come up with? You that was boasting about how the Sup. Court will sack Oduah & Co. today with your ignorant analysis. I did warn the Public to ignore half-baked lawyers like you who take delight in coming to the Internet to pontificate and deceive people who don't know that you are probably just a very junior lawyer somewhere with no experience. The same Sup. Court you insisted just days ago will sack Odua & Co are now Corrupt? INEC is now corrupt? All the lawyers are also corrupt? See your smelly mouth & "corrupt". The only thing corrupt thing here is your juvenile brain |
ShyNeptune:You are right; I can also bet that it is with some of those accounts he has been using to insult some of us calling him out |
pinkiecutie:Resorting to what my dear yahoo boy? I mean you are becoming quite ridiculous; I know the saying that if you say a lie often enough, it may become the truth but your LIES are so convoluted as to beggar belief. The tantrum you have just thrown is absolute rubbish. At this stage you must be a real idiot if you really think anyone out there can be convinced otherwise however hard you play to the gallery and take recourse to sentiments. Your game is up; give it up |
Olaone1:Sure, why not? He is a male virgin. I know some guys who are virgins at 28 and since the op takes solace in crack and not women, it's a real possibility ![]() |
pinkiecutie:You have lost it already my dear yahoo boy; someone who knows you asked you in December 2014 if you were high on crack and it appears you still are. You started out claiming that you had a 2.1 B.Sc in Economics, it changed to Diploma in English and Literary Studies, it changed to B.Sc in English & Literary studies, it then became MASTERS' Degree in an as yet unidentified field, It then changed again to BioChemistry in remedial studies and now B.Sc in Biochemistry. And you are posting a picture to show that Universities award Degrees by plaques instead of certificates. You keep digging yourself deeper and deeper into your hole. Not that this is anything serious anyway; I just happen to have some free time on my hands this afternoon to toy with an amateur yahoo boy |
Naveedah:Don't mind him; he is a learner. If you see the high quality of fake documents 419 boys use to convince & swindle oyibos out of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars, you will appreciate that what pinkiecutie/lilmaxfidel is posting here is kindergarten stuff |
tollyB:I don't agree. This thread is one of the best teachers the public can get of the utility of taking every info on the Internet with a pinch of salt. One thing I have learnt over the years, particularly with some of my clients who have been scammed is that usually it is the otherwise very brilliant & intelligent individuals who fall the quickest & hardest for scam stories. That is why some of us serious minded persons have wasted all this time on this thread to pick apart this scam-story one brick at a time. You only have to see how some of us have been insulted & called names by others to appreciate that scams & 419 are here to stay with us. Some say we are writing "epistles" on this issue, but I bet you if a Professor of psychology in a foreign University stumbles on this thread & the responses to it, it may form the object of a research paper |
pinkiecutie:LMFAO, faith? O boy, just abandon this pixiecutie moniker that has been busted just as you abandoned lilmaxfidel; create another moniker with another fine picture of a lady as dp then create your threads as usual: there are apparently still plenty of gullible mugus on Nairaland & you may be third time lucky |
pinkiecutie:So you still have mouth to talk lilmaxfidel? Remember your friends Naijaboiy & Mariolae & this question they asked you back in Dec. 2014?: "lilmaxfidel your acting really strange these days. Sorry, are you on crack?" I am now asking you in 2016: ARE YOU STILL ON CRACK? Can't you see your game is up? Create another moniker to continue your scams; pinkiecutie is busted. Who do you really want to impress with all these childish "yahoo yahoo" documents that you are posting? |
Dyt:OF COURSE, THE ORDEAL IS NOT TRUE. "HE" has been caught before: since s/he is still replying you, get s/he to explain this: https://www.nairaland.com/2025980/please-how-tell-boss-he AND WHY did s/he hurriedly take down the dp of a beautiful lady s/he had in his profile? |
ShyNeptune:ITS A COMPLETE SCAM and "HE" has been found out before: Read ALL the posts above then go to this thread "he" created in 2014: https://www.nairaland.com/2025980/please-how-tell-boss-he Some of us are wasting our time & mb on this juvenile issue just to get genuine Nairalanders to learn a lesson & stop falling for 419ers; not that it's any skin off my nose. And hope you noticed that "HE" has removed the dp of a beautiful female which was in his profile when he first created this thread. |
adonbilivit:A major rehabilitation is in the works for Ariaria but the feeder roads are being worked on first to lessen the discomfort when the major work starts in Ariaria. Mind you, it's not possible to do everything at once; na small small |
I am still waiting for those half-baked lawyers who were arguing with me here on NL a few days ago when they were insulting the HON. Justice Gabriel Kolawole & the judiciary. Shebi the Supreme Court has now confirmed the position I canvassed that the issue of who are authentic State Exco of PDP has nothing to do with the election of Oduah & Co? Where is Osyabj hiding? |
mbahfrankuc:Your shoe is the real deal ![]() |
mecigr8s:Biochemistry kwa? Abeg, why are we even dignifying this little boy yahoo yahoo scammer with our mb? Nigeria is a free democracy; it is allowed to be a MUGU. I am done |
kunle75:She is CONVENIENTLY in Calabar, so pls ask for her account number so you can send her money for flight ticket, hotel & other expenses so she can come and meet you in an "open place" to discuss the job you have for her. Na today? SMH |
permanentgrace:And many people on NL are gullible dear; some whose siblings of full blood are unemployed are already scouting for jobs for the illusory op and asking for account numbers. I don't know why most men start shivering like leaves in a harmattan wind once they hear the word "virgin"? And they think they are the smart ones, insulting those of us who have seen through the many holes in the story. 419 will never stop inspite of the many years it has been written about. Even tomorrow people will be scammed |
