Immediately PMB is putting plans to dump the Dollar for the Chinese currency, ICC came calling...

Ghadafi treatment comes to mind

I don't want to say anything here until I saw this post of yours but all I can say for now is that International politics is at play here and would get more interesting in the coming weeks, we are watching.

Fayose is seriously looking for attention but so far only ipob youths de look e side, I no even know say Ekiti state get money to send Fayose to china sef.

Fayose must really be getting intimidated by PMB's international profile. Am also willing to know what Ekiti is exporting to china abi chinese people don de chop pounded yam?

can we stop all this argument of who cancelled and re-negotiated the project? We need to move forward by supporting the Govt to complete the project. We all enjoy Third mainland bridge today and nobody is breaking his head on whether shagari started or IBB completed the project.

If ben ayade is building a deep sea port then what is the federal government doing. The loan should be taken to upgrade other Niger delta ports to sea port as this will encourage export of goods from the hinter land to overseas via the Niger delta sea ports.

What is the economic advantage of linking Lagos with Calabar via rail that supersedes building deep sea ports and dock yards that would encourage evacuation of produce and products for export.

you guys keep using the excuse of sea port just to jettison the rail project, the issue of sea port is a different thing altogether, why not demand for rail and sea port together, does it make sense to refuse a house in Ikeja for a house in lekki when you can have both of them?

kenny987:
Understand my point and stop being rude. Why is it just two towns in the entire SE? Meanwhile in other regions you have one or more routes through each state? Is Aba in Abia the only area or city in the whole SE?

so it must pass through 10 towns in the SE before we can believe there is no marginalization, like I said earlier in one of my posts, if am PMB, I won't bother any longer cos nothing seem to please you guys after all even your lawmakers don't care either.

deathmen12:
PDP rule for 16yrs and nothing happen abi? Right the same PDP members are still the people that made up apc, so you are telling that this pdp guys have change bcs they join apc? Listen changing your name doesnt change who u are. The same people that destroy Nigeria for 16yrs under pdp reign are still the once in power under this apc govt

agreed, no problem but we cannot go back to your darling pdp cos forward ever backward never you hear, all these gimmicks of yours to say that the same pdp members are in apc so we can go back to pdp can never work.

pdp has become a forbidden fruit in Nigeria please

kenny987:
I was wondering why the proposed routes touch at least one town or more in the entire SS but only two places Aba n Onitsha in the SE. The SW has this rail line running through both from the Kano route and the proposed Lagos-Calabar route. Why is that? Do other SE states not qualify for rail services?

See how one has to squint to see its infinitesimal passage through Aba but you can see it meandering through Yenagoa-Otuoke-Yenagoa again before it continues.

So it must pass through all the houses in aba for you to believe, na wa for una o

Were these fraudulent constituency projects in the original document? Yet they claim the rail project was not in the original document but yet amended the damn thing for their personal projects but cannot amend it to include the rail project.

Those who though the NASS were more diligent with their work over the executive have been made to look like fools.chai

Looks like trains and rail tracks are UFOs to some of our brothers across the Niger.

The way they are making sure the project does not see the light of day is a disgrace. If I were PMB, I won't bother any longer. Small minds indeed and cheap akara fellows

Why are the wailers avoiding a thread like this, I am yet to see things like ' enjoy the change' or 'is this the change we voted for'

Wailers where una dey o

IVORY2009:
Lolzzzzz I dey laugh like Obasanjo, instead of u Mr Buhari to make peace, rather u want to use force hmmmm, Niger Delta is not like the North ooooo, boys der are not smiling....

So those boys of yours are more dangerous than boko haram that's interesting

CyerSeries:
If the government really want to include the project, they should come with a supplementary budget that will capture the project, it's not rocket science.

The game the government is playing here is to make Nigeria think the NASS is sabotaging them because of Saraki's trial.. I don't give a fvck about Saraki anyway.
Another thing they wanna do is to create impression that SE/SS representatives at the NASS are blocking FG's project in the region brought by Amechi.. If they succumb to FG's antics, it will make SE/SS representatives (PDP) less popular in the region, and make Amechi/PMB(APC) more popular in the region.

But PDP NASS members from the two region saw their antics and played a fast one on them by telling them to come up with a supplementary budget that will capture the project.

Supplementary budget is not possible due to our debt profile. The money has been provided for the rail project already, it was deliberately diverted by the lawmakers to others. Let's stop allowing the elites to mid inform us in this country, even the lawmakers know this

gidgiddy:
You like that so much? That sounds like a dictator talking and dictators never do well in office.

Sorry we need a dictator before our lawmakers allocate all our money to grinding machines and bore holes when there are more serious national assets to be maintained and secured. We are not yet ripe for the brand of democracy being practiced in saner climes. Ours is not a sane clime yet

maupe:
Just to play the devil's advocate, the HOR have extended a hand of friendship and peace to the Executive. I expect the Executive to return the favour, by admitting their errors and ineptitude ( No one is perfect). The President, should now accept this token of friendship and input the new additions into a supplementary budget, and thus pass the 2016 budget into effect, while the NASS reviews and peruses through the remaining errors in the budget

Supplementary budget? Excuse me are you aware that the present budget isca deficit one, so you want the debt profile to go up, no need of supplementary nonsense, the lawmakers should reallocate the money they have allocated to town halls and keks marwa to the needed infrastructure of relevance. Thanks

Bohari popularity did not make him President in 2003, didnot make him President in 2011. wash your back

Lol so saraki is more popular abi, I will be glad to know who is that person in PDP now that is more popular, pls mention names.

Originality007:
so dey are now yeye plpp...if not for dem APC would not have smell AsoRock

Lies, they knew PDP was going nowhere and they quickly jump ship especially when the likes of obj dump the PDP. These fellows are not as popular as you guys think.

LesbianBoy:
I take God beg you! When issue of politics is being discussed novice like you should gbeun e soun! Popularity of which foolish PMB? Where were you when PMB was losing back to back presidential elections? He was popular yet unknown men like yaradua and GEJ (who happens to be the HERO OF OUR DEMOCRACY by the way) defeated him? Let me take you, saraki, amaechi the mumu of ubima together with the other governors who defected from PDP to APC, hatred, tribalism and propaganda were responsible for the defeat of GEJ

Agreed, but can they go back to the PDP and let's truly see if they can really move things, no be by mouth nah.

olutunde12:
Ignorant ones are ranting. Go and study the last election results with just Kwara and Kogi states, jonathan would have won. Which popularity of buhari? Those people brought bubu into power!

No argument, if they are that powerful, let them go back to PDP and let's see who will win the popularity contest.

all these pdp elements in apc should return and joined the new sheriff in the pdp and let's see what will happen.

yeye people who jumped ship when they knew pdp was sinking, they are ungrateful lots who rode on the popularity of PMB

I dare saraki and his gang in apc to go back to the pdp and let's how many votes they can garner if they vie for offices. Nonsense

OLADD:
The situation is not helped by citizens here on Nairaland and elsewhere who often cite Jonathan's shortcomings to justify apparent mistakes in Buhari's govt. It's appalling and offensive to ears.

But anytime folks comes out to say Buhari is a dullard its never offensive to you guys, sometimes we are all guilty of what we think its offensive to us, we forget that the things we too say is offensive to others too, its time for some soul searching and decide what kind of country we want.

LadyExcellency:
I make bold to say that the highly rated professor is emphatically wrong in this one.

Does it mean that NDDC is illegal since it was totally opposed by the Executive and made to exist by the courageous NASS that overturned Obasanjo's veto?

Democracy is a representative government and moreover, Buhari wasn't an independent candidate.

am not sure you ready the professor's submissions, he said the NASS cannot impose expenditure on the executive for projects that have been conceptualized in terms of selection of contractors and technical layouts or drwaings e.t.c. Please let's read properly

kenny987:
I don't see where the SS/SE senators have blocked this project. They have said the Executive should bring forward a supplementary bill. The Senate Chairman ruled in favour of this because it was a more popular stand. PDP alone cannot have a more popular stand with overwhelming support when they are in the minority so what is the op going on about?

A supplementary is not possible with the current deficit in the present budget, these fellows are simply looking for more money to steal, can't you see? the senate president panders towards the pdp, have you not noticed this all the while, they placed him there

the lawmakers are jokers, with the deficit in the present budget, how will another supplementary budget work? to increase the deficit?

its not that the budget amount is even increasing with the inclusion of the rail project, its money that has already been allocated for.

chai so this is what saraki and his goons can come up with? na wa o

I told a colleague at work who is from cross river state that 'una people de forbid railway line' the guy laughed and laughed.

From the look of things here, its all politics cos the only strength left for pdp is the ss and se of which they can't afford APC penetrating that area for now.

SleekMallam:
Hope these security operatives will not intently fire stray bullets into Aso Rock someday?

is that your wish? you guys give yourselves away so cheaply, mhen, una bitterness no be here o!

Where is my common sense senator o!

olutunde12:
Well, me for one, I dont see any substance in this news. The ifirst important question is " Was the project included in the budget the president presented to the senate?"
If it wasnt as we were told, does the minister have any right to present an approriation to the senate without the knowledge of the president?
Again, was their any other minister that did same and it was passed? These and many more are the questions vanguard should answer instead of this rubbish.

Are you aware that the lawmakers have included things that were not also in the original budget e.g. converting agricultural pejects to their constituency projects so what stop them from including the calabar rail project? Did they need to beg PMB to include their own personal project?

zendy:
Bianca has said that she has never met Fani Kayode in her life. It baffles me that FFK and Bianca, two people who come from influential political families had a long standing relationship but only one person knew about it.

But let's just assume it is true that they had a relationship, that was like 30 years ago! Of what relevance is that today? I have had a relationship with the daughter of a late chief Justice of Nigeria. She moved on and is now married with kids. What would be the point of me going to papers to broadcast that I used to sleep with her? Some people are small minded

you are very right, small minds indeed, reason we find it difficult to resolve most of our differences easily as a Nation, we use the past too much to decide our present

I think ffk and kemi belongs to the same category, chai, must you always come to the public to spew trash? both of them need some re-formatting upstairs, haba wetin
