ArchiPelago1: When I heard about Fayose's purpoted letter to the Chinese government, I dismissed it as a Rumour. But today, pictures have been going round social media of a copy of the letter telling the Chinese government not to loan us the money we are asking for... This clearly shows that Fayose is working against the interest of Nigeria.
In Law, Treason is the crime that covers some of the EXTREME acts against ones Nation or Sovereign. In my opinion Fayose's letter is treasonable and to be fair he must be given the "Nnamdi Kanu treatment" (Immunity or no Immunity).
U would have done us a lot of good if you had copied the letter of fayose here for us to judge if it is treasonable or not.
The last time i checked pipol are still entitled to their opinion. And having a contrary opinion to a ruling party makes you an opposition not to be treated as treat.
In summary, there's a video of 15 of the Chibok girls the Government has had since December 2015, which CNN has now shown to the parents.
With the girls identified by the parents and some of their fellow classmates, I hope nobody is still out there calling this a scam.
op b4 u happily conclude ur movie i will to ask a question. Is dia a way we can use technology to actually dictate the exact time a particular video was recorded?

TonyeBarcanista: Ladies and gentlemen, and patriotic Nigerians please permit me to air my view on this issue of alleged omission of Lagos-Calabar rail line from the 2016 Appropriation bill(Budget) by members of the legislative arrm of government. This issue has been trending across media space including Facebook, Twitter, Nairaland, Palmchat, etc
We all agree that since the budget was proposed by the president and submitted to the National Assembly, there has been one controversy or the other. The latest of the controversy being the omission of Lagos-Calabar rail line, which my piece is to dwell on.
THE ISSUE When President Buhari presented his budget bwfore the National Assembly, there was no provision of Lagos-Calabar rail project but only Lagos-Kano rail project contained in it. The minister of transport, Hon Rotimi Amaechi during his budget defence tendered document for the Lagos-Calabar rail project to be captured in the 2016 budget before the Senate Committee on Land Transport (as confirmed by Sen Gbenga Ashafa), and to be funded with a floating N56billion. While the Senate Committee on Land Transport accepted the adjustment, and recommended same to the Appropriation counterpart, the project was however rejected by the Appropriation Committees of both the House and the Senate, as well as the whole National Assembly.
Without prejudice, I believe it is appropriate to give knocks and commendation to those worthy of it.
WORTHY OF KNOCKS President Muhammadu Buhari Firstly, it is inappropriate and amount to nullity for a minister to propose extraneous budget outside what has been submitted to the NASS. If President Buhari really wanted the project, all he had to do was to request for withdrawal of the budget before the House and submit an amended budget that would capture the project. If Buhari was sincere, he wouldn't have just captured a project that connects Lagos to Kano by rail without considering that of Lagos-Calabar that is of more economic benefit. Sincerely, Buhari wasn't really interested in the said project perhaps because it wasn't in the North.
Senate And House Committees on Appropriation: Is it not hypocrisy that members of the Senate Committee led by Sen Danjuma Goje(Gombe state) and Hon Abdulmumin Jubrin(Kano) of the Senate and Reps respectively would see everything wrong in allocating a floating N56billion towards a rail project that would open up Lagos-Calabar, but saw nothing wrong in reallocating the said money into not-so-important projects? When did thd Appropriation Committee assume power to decide new projects for the executive? It is even more shameful that the vice Chairman of Senate committee on appropriation, Sunny Ogbuoji is a southerner from Ebonyi state. I tried to get the names of all committee members of both committees but was unsuccessful. One question these Appropriation Committees members need to answer is "would they have cancelled the addition by Amaechi if the project to be added was Lagos-Kano rail project?"
The National Assembly: For the fact that the Appropriation committee would empower themselves the privilege of re assigning funds for not-too-important projects from the floating N56billion, nothing stops them from reassigning those funds to Lagos-Calabar rail project. It is a shame that the Senate and the House would agree to such a budget appropriation. Would members of both Houses okay it if the project in question was Lagos-Kano rail? A big shame and an indictment on Southern delegation in the NASS especially those from the South-South and South West that are supposed to be the beneficiary.
WORTHY OF COMMENDATION Hon Rotimi Amaechi: We must commend Hon Rotimi Amaechi for his bold step to find ways to inject the Lagos-Calabar rail project into the budget and also seek way to fund it without going beyond his ministry's allocation. I am no fan of Rotimi Amaechi but he deserves credit and not knocks. Those calling for his resignation over this issue should hide their faces in shame.
Sen Gbenga Ashafa and Senate Land Transport Commitee: Also worthy of commendation is Senator Ashafa and his team although it would have been more appropriate for Ashafa Committee to advice Amaechi of the nullity of his proposal to smuggle in a project in the eyes of the law.
The Way Forward: It will amount to injustice for Mr President to append his signature into that thrash paper called Budget of 2016. The proper thing to do now is for the President to veto the budget and submit a new document or amendment document to capture the Lagos-Calabar rail project. This blame game is diversionary and we will not be distracted by the antics of enemies of the South and the country as a whole.
May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria...
I so much enjoy most of ur write up. Kudos bro. But i will like to get sum clarifications on issues I find uncomfortable with dis budget. Am not on the syd of anybody but good governance. So b4 u go ahead crucifying the ss and se senators let me ask these;
1. During the early stages of every budget i was made to understand dat every ministry submit a proposal of wat they want to be captured in the budget. Was Amaechi sleeping then dat he couldn't initiate dis Lagos calabar rail from the outset. or is it the duty of the Buhari to do dat. 2. The 56billion purportedly floating, how did they come about dat, bearing in mind dat we were told the budget was going to be a deficit one?
I pity you sha so its now a crime to like a female artist because I'm a girl? Dude, pls stop embarrassing yourself. Kai! People's mind sha...so think I'm a guy? Nawa o!
Nnemuka: i dont know how that man manages to stay relevant in Nigeria's politics.
Mr. Danjuma was still in service and was Chief of Army Staff at the time the company was incorporated. He was also director of Zara Logistics, a company registered in Cyprus on September 2, 1993. It remains unclear what businesses Mr. Danjuma used the companies to transact. The retired general was also among global personalities found to maintain secret accounts, operated with codes, with the Swiss branch of banking giant, HSBC. He was linked to HSBC account 15731CD, which was opened in 1993 and closed in 2001. The documents seen by this newspaper did not provide details regarding the balances in the account and the use to which Mr. Danjuma put it. An elaborate bribery and corruption Scheme
Abacha, Adulsalami, Aisha Buhari, and Danjuma have one thing in common.... swiss bank accounts.
my dear av always wondered the same. Danjuma is neva in the public but very relevant to Nigeria politicts. That guy is sumtin i can't explain
