Fake news from the stable of the nation who knows that many Nigerians will believe their lies and
not ask questions.

Any civilized and informed person knows that Lobbying is an inherent part of a democracy
with separation of power.
Even in advanced democracy like the US, the president must make trade-offs with the legislature
to get his projects approved.

But some caveman who don't understand how government works are angry because the strongest
National assembly in Nigeria's history refuses to rubber-stamp the executive "requests".

The 17 billion naira is not a bribe as no lawmaker received a personal alert based on it.
It was for projects that some lawmakers deemed important to their constituents.

you need help...if a Harvard graduate can confirm that it was a bride then who are you to dispute that

34webers:
Lol, you mean those shildren of perdition should accost their gods like saraki and dino melaye with such demands? Never. They will rather remain in their mud land insulting buhari even for their fathers inability to produce semens that will bring forth an intelligent human being.

a wasted youth --their mates in china and around the world are busy inventing new ideas why these ones get drunk everynight in clubs ..

and it is the same in the US -black kids are no where to be found in the most important sectors of the economy.

FisifunKododada:
Hmmm...
you are obviously allergic to history. Take your big for nothing head to your white masters who are using your brain to play table tennis.

as I stated earlier --you have personal issues -even your so called masters prefer a British education to the best naija has to offer,has your ever thought why?

just as saraki where his kids got educated. Even your obibigot ...london school of economics.

FisifunKododada:
Which British character? You mean the same character they used to steal peoples lands/resources, enslave, torture and raped all over Africa, the Americas and Asia?

hmmmmm..

you obviously have personal problems.

take your bitterness to your NASS and ask saraki why he is using your money to buy houses in the UK..abi na ike

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, says the TraderMoni initiative under the Social Investment Programme was to uplift and boost the businesses of petty traders across the country.

The initiative personally conceived by President Muhammadu Buhari, is a micro-loan scheme under the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), it provides capital for artisans, and petty traders.

Osinbajo stated this after inspection of Command Centre, where Tradermoni was being monitored and tracked at Bank of Industry (BOI) in Abuja on Thursday.

“President Buhari was a chairman of a group known as Katsina Foundation; the foundation was doing this exactly by giving loan to small traders like people making Akara and other small trades.

“The foundation gave loan to a lot of traders and he felt this could be replicated on the national scale because of how it worked.

“I can tell you that in terms of originating the concept of this Tradermoni, it is from the president.

“He has done it before and he had seen it working, he replicated it at the national level and I am happy we are succeeding”

The programme also provides loans for commercially active Nigerians typically unable to access loans by traditional lending institutions as they have no formal identities, financial track record or even collateral.

The vice president noted that BOI was brought in, to give professional and commercial way of doing it.

He said that no fewer than 1.4 million people had so far benefitted from the programme across the country.

According to him, the programme is the largest in Africa and no country that has anything close to it in the world except India.

Osinbajo said that it was unfortunate and ridiculous that people were criticising a programme of this nature that had touched lives of a lot common man.

“It is a programme approved by the senate and the entire National Assembly.

“I am wondering while an individual is condemning such project. We are only going out to implement it and we are doing so as vigorous as possible” Osinbajo stated.

He said that the government was looking at N20 billion for the first phase of the programme but all depended on the availability of funds.

A great initiative that is really needed...those pigs complaining about this should go to the NASS and ask why they are pocketing 15m naira a month while their citizens have very little money to live on....

c'on brave men --head to the NASS and show how brave you are!!!!!!

okerekeikpo:
As if the afonja know the meaning of what they gave to him, if this kind person wey too like fight enter Lagos na to dey fight with agboro for oshodi he fit even dethrone mc oluomo

Actually he is well respected because of his humble respectful personality - not because he is a ’figher or Agbero’ he epitomizes the true British character - which is, either in defeat or victory always show humility to your opponent.

You also seem to have forgotten that boxing is a British invention , and they are extremely proud of their champions - especially if he shows true character.

duwdu:
Oh, you missed it?

Even their PDP head honcho, Saraki, laid it bare just recently on video and audio, that during the reign of David Mark before him, every proposal to the Senate from the executive, came with something, and that what has he (Saraki) benefited during his own reign so far? Nothing!

No juicy positions or contracts to him and his boys, nothing! And you expected him to just take that? Mbanu o!

Please don't tell us someone as "politically committed" as you, missed at least the audio part of that Saraki lecture to his foot soldiers in Ilorin?

A lot of those Nass members are not coming back so this is their last chance to make some retirement cash

But buhari say mba— nada. Baa kudi.

So they are now left with budget padding which won’t help because we know this 2019 budget would not see the light of day till mid 2019. Which is after the election.

pjecly:
Some people are having problem of inability to decipher simple sentence or disillusion.

Boldly written

Between 2009-2011
Why relating it to 2015-date.

A lot of these pigs are truly blind. Hatred has turned their brains into porridge.

Stone123:
FTC, I saw it coming! Lol

NASS leadership should've done better, nonetheless sending Dullard to Daura should be the most patriotic thing to do by every sensible Nigerian come 2019.

NASS leadership that illegally doles out a minimum of 15m naira a month - you call patriotic


That engaged in budget padding, illegal constituency allowances — in short,a group of people that specialize in stealing from their own country.

Dex4:
I often wonder if there's anyone in the world who doesn't love this man......style, spontaneity, eloquence, brilliance.

I hope to be like him one day!

The iconic picture of Obama and late Anthony in a Vietnamese restaurant eating a 5 dollar meal is still one of his best pictures ever.

Obama broke barriers and showed that there are no impossibilities in a fair world.

Pity Obamacare has gone.

I guess you didnt leave the comfort zone of your south abode to northern part of the country where Jonathern ' projects are more obvious shaaa.

So, his charity doesn’t begin at home. He really was a dunce

FarahAideed:
American presidents don't ago about protecting killer terrorist who have killed over 19 thousand people..Buhari is a liar and blood sucking demon

American senators don’t dip their hands into the cookie jar. They don’t earn the outrageous amounts of money ours earned.

The least our overbloated greedy NASS members could have done was respect the ‘presedency’.

Have we forgotten the shameful acts of a couple of years ago when Dino was involved in a fight - right in front of a group of school children.

Irrespective of political affiliation there should be a sense of decorum.

I wanna see this guy in the senate of house of reps first , then I can take him seriously .

We have had many loud mouths like him in the past who have just got into power and continued with the business as usual theme....mr commonsense is a typical example -didn't he say he was going to force a reduction in the take home pay of senators -only for him to keep quiet and join the chop chop gang.

I have a couple of friends who are trying the 'marry for green card' avenue ,and, not only is it expensive it is also risky -the woman might just chop the money and not show up for the interview with immigration.

And the issue with the H1B/L1B visa on the other hand is due to the Indians who have dominated that visa route in recent years. I think Trump is just trying to reduce the number of visas going to those indians. If you study for a STEM degree in the US then you might have a reasonable chance of getting a H1B non-immigrate visa -which can lead to a green card.

And yet Dino the tree climber (or is it wilderness hider ) is walking around like a king

I wonder where this worm is hiding when his mates are here working.

Wasn’t it under his master jonadrunk that reserves plummeted to $29 while earning an astonishing amount of money from oil.

Yet no major project to write home about

Trizzi:
The Nigeria hand shake the Nigerian Senate President, Olubukola Saraki and Leader of House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara. After his 2019 budget Presentation. The picture looks beautiful.....

Source:https://www.mediahelm.com.ng/2018/12/see-moment-buhari-hand-shake-saraki-and.html

when reality dawns on you----

that budget presentation was explosive --just too many achievements,

Tetehjewels:
Hmmm seems lalasticlala is a PDP man. He keeps pushing PDP threads to front page even when the threads are just retárded like this one.

An international looter is claiming that Nigeria has not had anyone like him since 1960 forgetting that he was in power with OBJ for 8 years where its on record that he stole money meant for generations in just 8 years.

Yes we have not seen any like him and never will.

The one we saw when he was VP we now wish to unsee it.

2019 to 2023 is for bubu

One of the first signs of dementia is short-term memory loss -- I seriously think atiku needs medical attention --or is buhari already getting inside his brain

Lush100:
"Don't be surprised"

no sir i will not be surprised.

in fact i am sure that that is what is going to happen.
in fact the project will likely not be completed to a fully standard modern rail .
the only thing we are seeing are the laying works, the real project is more than all these write ups. they will leave that moving metal as the train.

why don't you be a good diligent kid and get a yellow vest,safety helmet and volunteer as a project manager at the site (free,with no pay) . Then you can update us daily (am sure you are interested in where your money is going).

those who wish well for their country shouldn't sit idle on their assess --

Tetehjewels:
I watched the entire over 75 minutes of his presentation.

Baba was strong on his feet and sharp with his tongue.

He dropped achievement after achievement until the minority who were trying to distract him gave up and shut up.

Baba was unperturbed as he was focused on his job.

One part that made me know he was peppering them was when he paused and said " excuse me" then coughed and then said ALRIGHT just before he continued with reeling ou achievements.

On roads the first one he mentioned was deliberately meant to pepper saraki. That's the Jebba Ilorin road. If saraki was a white man he would have turned red with shame.

In fact when Buhari went to shake their hands, Dogara first got up and nudged saraki to stand up before saraki did.

The thing pained saraki into his marrow

great post!!!.....all great nations had a great leader ---Buhari is a true patriot -this man will go down in history as one of the great African leaders......

baakus:
Buhari was on full display today.

He burst my medulla with his eloquent,articulated speech and maturity.

PMB/PYO 2023

and atiku wants to debate this man....I pity am ..just like how prof osinbajo lectured obi.


but the breakdown of the speech is quite impressive -the road projects shows that this is a serious leader ----very proud,

uzohrome:
Amaechi becomes the most working and outstanding amongst the appointed Ministers . God job brother. A true Biafran

he is a true Nigerian and we are all proud of him...a serious government and a great landmark....

don't forget that it was Buhari who paid the biafran pensioners their due.

Tampiko:
Is that all your brain can produce? Your case is pathetic.

Thanks ..and Merry xmas..

PMB 2023

sai baba

saraki --atiku is finished and all my panama and Uk houses are gone....

dogara ---will I ever get free 15M naira again next year,

buhari ....I am a soldier man so no mercy to your two crooks (saraki and dogara)

Good riddance to bad rubbish — hunt more of those useless people

it's hard to accept that atiku and obj could not do this ---16yrs of stupendous wealth and nothing to show for it.....now some pigs are shouting aticulate..

thanks buhari -----I can now visit ibadan without the fear of that dreaded road....soonest.

isn't about time they scrap this expensive senate --maybe something like the house of lords would be better where they pay per seating

Charly68:
If the president can network Nigeria with railway, definitely cost of transportation will be reduced on goods and human movement and more goods will flow round the nation..definitely Nigerians will pray for Buhari by the time he finishes his two term..

think also about the number of lives saved......road travel is a nightmare sometimes when there are terrible accidents.

NOC1:
Bubu is not seeing this NASS, that is why they love hate him. Bunch of criminals looking little opportunity to milk the Nation dry.

God bless you PMB

reading the reasons is just so embarrassing ---huge discrepancies in the amounts approved.

The explanations from Buhari are spot on.

some IGR statistics for 2017

http://www.thenicheng.com/ebonyi-sokoto-best-igr-performing-states-akwa-ibom-bauchi-osun-worst/

Does atiku have the balls to call his bluff. Hmmm

Waiting and watching.

Buhari no be jonadrunk lol.

The NASS budget is about 130bn. So it’s even more than what some states budget.
