Seems tribal induced Myopia blocked your vision and you couldn't see this part.... Even if you were in a vegetative coma & weren't aware of of events leading up to this, commonsense would have impressed upon you that it was suicidal & untenable to ignore capital & progressive projects & have in it's place grinders, keke marwa, hair styling equipments etc..

One is only human by expecting occassional flash of lohic from your sort, but it's now apparent it's like spooning water into a raffia basket.. "Exercise in futility" SMH..

Lol....You wicked ooo

Good old days of voltron force and tales by moonlight.

You still haven't found someone. Sorry ooo

Words of the elderly, if it does not come to pass in the morning, it sure will by nightfall. Those that warned us that this administration is a scam were right afterall. He has gone ahead to sell our birthright to China. When one wants to make a deal with another country, smartness is required, like this America-India Pact To Share Army Bases.

Jonathan did his during his time. He went ahead with Okonjo iweala to rebase the economy. We thought that would suddenly leapfrog our development but they were only confusing us with English.
For those of you waiting for all these fantastic offers to ease your livelihood as a Nigerian, you are just deceiving yourselves. Until fuel is reduced to the minimum, power supply is assured, infrastructures are provided and the teeming unemployment level is brought low, all attempts of Buhari`s administration is futile.

How do you rebase an economy?

Ibos own Lagos now

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.

Which Professor?

[quote author=Matthewbriggs post=44631238][size=15pt]Lagos Calabar rail controversy : What everyone should know[/size]

There is an intense effort by some people to change the narrative regarding the controversial Lagos-Calabar rail project.

The current spin been sold is that SE&SS senators are against the progress of their people, so as to spite this administration, Also that the NASS is filled with bigoted northern senators who are out to disenfranchise the south with the southern senators doing nothing.

We can go on and debate what this controversy is all about, Spin doctors from both parties can continue to try to use this to further their political agenda, but in the midst of all this noise, it is important we put context to everything, look at the essence of this controversy and decide what the debate should really be about.

Let's start with the facts on the ground.

1. The presidency failed to submit this item in her original budget to the senate.
2. A minister tried to get the item in by approaching the senate
3. The Minster failed in doing so, given that at the end of the day, the executive discovered it wasn't added, hence all the controversy.

In between these 3 events, there are a lot of controversies, At this point it is important to put everything in context, focusing on the essence of what this controversy really represents.

The Fist Context is

1. We have an incompetent Executive - The current budget fiasco paints the executive as a bunch of confused people with no strong coordination internal and externally with Nigerians. Starting from a shoddy budget that went missing, the budget padding controversy and now the failure to adequately communicate what has really transpired in this Lagos - Calabar issue. Instead, she has chosen to throw blames as opposed to really taking responsibility and proposing a way to fix this situation. Committing gaffes upon gaffes for something very sensitive as the budget that powers the livelihood of over 200million Nigerians is a grouse sign of incompetence APC would never tolerate this from PDP if they were the opposition.

2. We have a disunited Ruling party - One of the key benefits of been the ruling party and also winning majority of seats in the House of assembly is that this helps the executive get things done. It aids easy communication and implementation of projects and visions of the executive because every member of the party understands that the success of the executive means the success of their party and them as well.

A dis-United APC is dangerous for Nigeria's progress, it's like APC is the ruling and opposing party. This is not what APC promised Nigerians. This should be the real subject of discussion, not the tribal bigoted crap that is trailing this debate.

APC should be tasked by Nigerians to get their house in other and deliver, as opposed to fighting themselves, allowing Nigerians that voted them in, to be the ground that suffers from their in-house shenanigans.

We need leadership yesterday, Nigeria must come first before party

3. SS & SE senators are not only to blame for their oversight and failure to speak up : The current spin by some Bigots is that the SS & SE senators in their bid to spite the Minister of Transport and the executive looked the other way as this project was omitted. This premise was established, Intentionally absolving the SW senators from any blame forgetting that this project will also benefit the SW. This is bigotry hiding under the facade of we are fight, for the interest of the SS and SE. While everyone know that you really don't care.

Ideally, all Southern senators are to be blamed for not standing and fighting for a project that will benefit their regions this is not a PDP or APC blame game this is the fact that our southern senators need to seat up and defend the interest of the people who put them there.

Your people must come first before the party.

4. Nigeria under the APC is becoming more disunited than ever: Truth be told the last election really did more harm to Nigeria's unity only topped by the civil war. The APC government instead of healing the wounds and uniting the nation is doing a much shoddy job that is further disuniting the nation, either through unchecked statements by the executive, the actions and inactions of the executive etc.

Allowing controversies like this to fester seems like the APC is comfortable been the party for the 95% as opposed to a party for all. The overall position and vibe of the Ruling party and her team of foot soldiers, tireless tries to drive home this fact.

That been said the real question is after the blame throwing where do we go from here as a nation. Will the APC seat up and truly provide the leadership this nation truly needs or will she continue to chase the wind for the next 3 years

How do you thin the SW will benefit from the Lagos - Calabar rail line

my brother the north owns this country and yet the 70% of our budget is being finance with the resources from the region(Niger delta).shame

Oga get your facts, oil does not finance 70% of our budget. Even with 38 dollars benchmark, income from oil is less than 20%.

Anybody who stays in Lagos can identify the background of that Photograph as Maryland, Ikeja.

The Whiteboy was probably heading to the Airport to catch a flight and was running late and stuck in Traffic so he decided to drop his escort and convoy and go solo..


But typical Nairaland.. They have found a way to make it look like the President's fault.

Smart guy

The most corrupt leader alive. He introduced corruption in this democratic era. people think that Obj is complicated but I say no. He is actually the easiest person to work with. Just tell the world how important he is and you would be on the fair side of his next memo. The man that values his ego more than his life. I remember 2003 elections and I wonder how shallow minded people could be. Someday he will surely answer nature like Abacha and his loot would be recovered. Yaradua remains my best despite his short span. He ran the most inclusive government since 1999 with humility, vision and sincerity of purpose. He kick started the respect for rule of law. PMB is just deceiving us with his pseudo honesty. Yaradua brought peace all over and showed us the power of dialogue in resolving disputes. I am Igbo, I am a cruder of good governance and I am for PDP.

My friend, corruption in Nigeria started at indepence. Okotie Eboh's children are still fighting over his property 50 years after his demise.

The concrete fact remains that PDP has already zoned presidency to the North and no amount of block votes from the East will change that.


East and west re both aligning with the North under different party

All the 68 communities in Lekki. God save all the community's on mainland that re not yet connected to the grid.


With The way the past and previous government have been focusing on the development of the Island, Its already glaring that the mainland is not part of the Mega-city plan.


Its a disappointment to know all 68 communities re in Lekki-Ajah axis.

If you have been to that area before, you'll know it is closer to Ikorodu than it is to Ajah. That side far oooo

As shared by a social media user.....

'I Just discovered this pretty lady who is giving men a run for their money in the coal city of Enugu state. Her name is Kenechukwu Ezeh, and she is a professional haircut stylist and the owner of Gap Barbershop, who makes her money giving men their most stylish haircuts. In this period of high rate of employment amid the country's depleted economy, seeing a beautiful lady making a living with a trade traditionally meant for men, gave my heart pure joy! Above are photos of some of the most stylish haircuts she gave her ever-growing clients'.

Kudos to her

Lekki Gardens! Thank God I pulled out of that scam. A visit to their construction site would discourage any sensible person. RIP to the dead

My friend above....

You are a sentimentalcrat and propangandacrat!

Can you just be sincere for a second?

If people call you IPOB now, you will start crying and ranting!

From the above fake or original results total APC got 5.

put up your glasses my friend!

But it is possible now. You shouldn't expect APC to win any election in the South East

Niceman4u:
If u had pointed out one economic policy or policy statement for economic development from Kemi ds ur missive would ve been interesting.
My friend, am nt one of those haters bt I am one of those that ve reservation abt her competence to bring huge change to d economy.
Kemi's body language alone each time I see her on TV tells me dat she s wearing an over-sized shoe, dat she s in an office dats far bigger dan her capability.
I tink those guys u mentioned, Eboh nd Utomi played advisory role which to me were theoretical. academic knowledge can b enuf to be an adviser because d job s theoretical in nature.
Finance minister s d driver, d economic driver therefore d pragmatism s exppected to b seen.

Okotie-Eboh was Finance Minister

seunaj:
Well, this writeup to me looks so vague and without adequate facts and figures but more of personal opinion which of course, the writer is entitle to. But let me quote the writer " how many Harvard ex Nigerian Finance Ministers have rescued
Nigeria from financial deep?" sorry, u wouldn't even go there. Even ppl that understands economy much more than u, in the likes of Baba Obj clamored for NOI to become Buhari's vice after foreseeing the economic crisis that Nigeria is unfortunately experiencing @ the moment.
U can't be objective and underestimate the power of NOI's economy wit. The naira had started falling big time before handing over to the present administration, but people like OP wouldn't understand because it was properly managed by the then finance minister. I am very hopeful that things will change for the better but let someone please inform Kemi on time that she needs to work harder.

Oga monetary policy is the responsibility of the CBN governor.
