ivandragon:
look. I don't understand your angst about Fashola appearing 100 times before the NAss. As long as there are issues to be cleared, he needs to appear.

again, I reiterate, as the political head of the Ministry, one of his CORE functions is dealing with the political fallouts of what happens in the ministry which is why ministers are expendable.

if it was just about taking decisions, I would feel that a professional would have been made minister of such a dynamic & technical ministry, not a lawyer.


its the same way the president takes the brunt of criticism for his/her adminstration even when such a leader might not be conversant with the dynamics of some of his ministries...

ArcFresky:
Some of you don't think before typing,

Myself2:
Can you hear yourself contradicting yourself

Myself2:
You are wrong
He is answerable to even the house of reps, if not for Buhari's lawlessness,which Ali exploited, he would not dare took to the senators the way he did.I am just mad at the senators for being too selfish with their allowances and putting Nigerians through grievous peril for six months when Buhari ran to the UK to blow unmentioned billions of naira to cure his ailment, they should have impeached his clueless arse back then

millomaniac:
Lolz, like seriously? The president is not answerable to the senate? And you sitting on your high horse like you know it all. U mean you don't know the senate can impeach the president if he steps out of line.

millomaniac:
Oga teacher the senate is not a civil service. Do Nigerians also not pay the president salaries?
What does the 3 arms of government got to do with this?

Ps: Melaye is not a clown, he is a disgrace

millomaniac:
Bros you got it wrong. Customs is a civil service, they serve the people. Melaye and Co are representatives of the people. The customs boss should have received them well. Dino is right. just that the President's relationship with the former military customs boss is nepotic.

linearity:
Not true, you are pulling stuff out of your ass.

Ali’s Boss is the President, In Nigeria just like in the USA, the President will not fire any of his heads of department because of an encounter with a Senator or a Senate committee.

Those two arms of government sees themselves as co-equal; Dino was foolishly trying to elevate the Senate above the Executive branch of government and any President will applaud any of his/her head of department who put such arrogant Senator(s) in their place and remands them that, they are co-equal.

obinoral1179:
am not in anyway supporting the senators but what Alli did was undermining the power of the institution and that was what is boss his doing with the magu case....... Nigeria needs a viable institution to avoid all this..... If it where to be the minister of interior, will he act that? What is bad is bad it has no other name......

Ejanla07:
we yoruba muslims can brag!!!



d worst we do is to backbite and hit our heads 5 times a day...

Sprumbabafather:
You must be pained? can't you look and pass?

seguno2:
You responded to my allegation that Buhari will abandon the road once election is over and you DEFLECTED with your wailing about PDP, so what is your problem again?

seguno2:
If you think that you can scare me off with gutter language, you don’t know who you are dealing with.
Below is my first post on this thread.

Fifthwave:
Being grandiose with words doesn't really make you sound intelligent. Okay, I'm not here to banter words. So run along.

“I was on that road, this year, as I returned to Lagos; it’s in a very terrible state, with craters everywhere. Umunya in Anambra to Mile 9 used to be a journey of less than one hour. Now, we spend more than two hours. Ugwuoba used to be a major stop for truckers. This boosted business transaction in that area. Today, the truckers prefer to take the narrower old Enugu-Onitsha road. All the markets along that expressway have become deserted due to lack of patronage,” said Enugu indigene, Ikem Okuhu.

Umumba, a community is Enugu State, used to be famous for its fresh palm wine; it enjoyed patronage from travellers. But with the terrible state of the road, the community’s economy is no longer at ease. “If you go to Umumba, before Mile 9, people coming from Lagos, who have taste for Igbo palm wine, usually stopped there to buy the delicacy and other foodstuffs. They are completely out of business, now, because, vehicles no longer follow that route.”

Okuhu blamed Igbo political leaders for the fate of the highway. He said: “I don’t think the Federal Government would deliberately not want to construct a road of such relevance. Rather, I think it’s a result of weakness on the part of Igbo leaders, to make a case for the project. Most people, who represent us at the National Assembly or at the federal level, don’t talk about the problems we have here. If people understood the economic viability of that road, you wouldn’t need to remind a senator or a minister to put pressure on government to fix it.”

Shut up

Fifthwave:
Keep fooling yourself.

You that your mind is not warped and polluted, point out where I said the nonsense you wrote up there.
Cheers

emmasege:
GEJ actually commenced that project and nearly completed the Onitsha-Awka section before he left office.

I was a regular traveller along that route prior to GEJ's exit, and I can attest to that.

THE SORRY STATE OF ENUGU-ONITSHA EXPRESSWAY; A FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE



https://naijacarlovers.com/index.php/2016/03/07/the-sorry-state-of-enugu-onitsha_7/

seguno2:
Precedence of cancelling Lagos light rail by Jakande in 1984 since he was a military dictator who did not need anyone’s votes.

seguno2:
Are you such a bushman that you have not seen a temporarily flooded airport after tropical storm?
The fact remains that the improvement made by Jonathan opened up the airport to scheduled flights.

seguno2:
Under construction after Buhari abandoned it for several years
Please carry your fake news elsewhere.

Fifthwave:
Then why will your deity (Buhari) make campaign promises which he can not fulfil and propagandist remark against the previous administration, only to assume position of leadership to be this clueless, directionless, nepotistic, bigoted, incompetent... The list is endless

seguno2:
Who opened up the Enugu airport for scheduled international flights?
Who opened up the east for railway revival?
Who started the 2nd NB, which Fulani bigot Buhari has abandoned as usual?
The gimmick of working on a road that he will soon abandon can only fool BMC workers and Buhari loyalists. It can’t fool reasonable, rational people. Try something else.

afrika:
Sometimes I ask, what does the Igbo man want?

1. Position in government, and he knows himself and embezzles the whole money and never develop his town.

2. Development, contracts wud be awarded and the kings of that community wud be fighting to take the whole contracts himself and eat the whole monies.

3. Do one road for them, one person wud stand selfishly to talk on behalf of the rest without consulting.

4. The real money for the constructed road may have accommodated street lights, the Igbo man wud do some and leave the rest and run to Lagos or abuja and live.

The Igbo youths should come to understand themselves and say, we want our places developed , even if the tribalistic government does not want to show his presence in our area what ever we get, we need full value.

Now people would be forced to come home and build industries themselves and they wud be self development that could and would draw people from near and far.

But the Igbo man wud leave his area or her area to our area to develop and make a lot of noise...why

seguno2:
PMB who cancelled the Lagos light rail of Jakande in 1984?
Please tell us another story.
Femi Adesina confessed that Jonathan almost completed the rail project and you are here with fake news.

seguno2:
The road that he will abandon once he has secured the 25% votes he needs from them
Why did he not complete the road the last three years he has been in office the same way that he has completed the Kaduna-Abuja railway and Abuja light rail?
Igboland open your eyes to avoid deception.

Roadmike

Believe this at your Peril.

Its all propaganda towards winning the igbo votes

having deceived Tinubu and his fellow travelers during the 2015 election. Now its the turn of the East.

SenatorJChris:
Do you really expect me to join issues with you? Never
Meanwhile you sound so pained. Your writing is filled with hate and this could lead to suicide. Did an igbo man Bleep your wife or snatch your girlfriend? Deal with your problems and live a good life. Thank you

kingcalipha:
Thank you. People who don't live in Anambra already believes this.
