ArabMopol:
how old are you
Buhari were to
blame for the failed metro-rail
project, which Alhaji Lateef Jakande initiated to
solve the traffic problem in the
metropolis in 1983.it was buhari who ordered the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN) not to
release N70 million mobilisation
fund for the metro line project. Buhari Deliberately Killed Lagos –
Calabar Rail Project. He Did Same
With Lagos Metro, Buhari
omitting the Coastal Rail line
project from Lagos to Calabar in
the 2016 budget was NEVER an
omission, but a deliberate act to
punish the region that he hates to
a fault.... ur Messiah buhari stopped this project 32years ago... indomie generation

ArabMopol:
I add extra strength b4 I survive this days... with the rate we stress ourselves dis days to earn end means, do u think u will outlive them ? story

MadCow1:
Meanwhile Rivers People are still saying they dont need a rail system...

seguno2:
Can you share with us how the:

a) 3 Senators
b) 10 Representatives

from Lagos state in NASS dealt with this alleged federal impediment at the legislative level?
Assuming that your story is not false, GEJ would still be a venerable Saint compared to Buhari who cancelled Jakande's metro line in 1984 after jailing the poor man and paying breach of contract fines in a depressed economy.
As for Tinubu and Obasanjo on Enron barge scandal, they were simply playing politics with their foolish fellow citizens. Are they not waving their APC broom together now?
Open up to the reality, bro.
Don't let yourself be deceived any longer.

ijustdey:
I don't envy those foresight leaders that did govern Lagos State to have come up with such dreams



I guess if PDP was in government..... this won't have been visible

aresssa: :



This single issue is a major impediment. Reminds me how GEJ played politics with the Lagos Metro Rail Red Line.


Investors were ready with over 1 billion dollars to invest for the construction of the Red Line from Lagos to Ogun state, but GEJ refused to approve the Iddo station right off way which frustrated the investors till they eventually gave up...

Funny enough, Lagos state started this Metro Rail dream over 30 years ago, they broke ground and stationed heavy equipment in Yaba and even paid millions of dollars which the state lost after the FG refused to guarantee the loan and forex for the projects and this was done by the same PMB as the head of state.

Same way OBJ frustrated Tinubu's 271MW IPP which was the 1st IPP in Nigeria. Imagine Lagos state today without FG's bad bele, lack of vision and foresight and crass tribalism. I see many more Metro rail and fully developed rail system in Lagos state without that shameful and anti progress intervention by the FG 30 years ago and even Lagos state with many more IPPs today if not for the same shortsighted FG bad bele and frustration.


The only silver lining is the fact that Lagos state did not give up on their Metro rail dream, they just picked the right time to dust off their plans and resume work on the same project 30 years later..

Lagos state is not short of good and visionary leaders, the problem is always the FG.

That's the real money maker: projected to ferry over 2 million passengers (N200-N500m) or more, a day.


This country will never progress until we change all of them 1950/1960s laws; from power to rail, procurement, and e.t.c. -- phewww!

ba7man:
Hmmmm...... @anonimi won't like this.

Rossikk:

RZArecta: :
Like ice always been advocating, states should push for a sort of regional high speed rail network. Finance won't be a problem ie states/world bank/AfDB and even private investors so its not much of an excuse. The only thing that stands in the way now is the railway corporation being under the FG but I believe legislation can be amended for the greater good of the country. Once again, great development

I believe there is a national blueprint in place in which all states are connected by high speed rail. It's a long-term project which probably won't be completed till 2035 earliest.

kcnwaigbo:
The CJN is retiring next month honourably after he must habve attained the mandatory retirement age of 70!!! I don't see what is ignoble in that.The president will never have the powers to remove the CJN

SillyMods:

kcnwaigbo: :

Well since the NJC has refused to be cowed,I hope you go ahead and commit suicide

This is what will happen should NJC refuse to suspend those judges.

1. The judges will be arraigned in court irrespective of no suspension. No law says they can't be arranged.

2. The Judiciary will be further rubbished and lose further credibility in the eyes of Nigerians.

3. Nigerians will pressure the CJN/NJC to suspend those judges to at least bring some credibility back to the bench.

modath:

Council bars judges from taking gifts.

So, this nor dey una SOP before?

What is Rafindadis relationship with the former SSS director in 1985?

Good point. Why not do some research and find out?

Keneking:
I hope that the director of commercial and business development would not be as corrupt as previous ones..especially the last one that retired voluntarily.

By the way, were these positions advertised?

Useless government

ivandragon:
intelligent granite...

1. since EFCC knew the owner(s) of the account, why lay a bait or trap? to what end & purpose since they already froze the account, was the point of seeking to detain the owner? a person the EFCC can pick up at anytime.Obviously you do not know the meaning of "Post NO Debit", Neither do you know the implication of establishing and validating evidence........ I guess to you EFCC will establish evidence in court based on they "know the owners"


2. so because FFK is under investigation by EFCC, he & his family members lose all rights to operate a bank account? See crap reasoning. Who says they have no right to operate a bank account? Did the EFCC tell you that? Has either FFK or you two lap dogs (Fayose & yourself) defended why FFK's BVN is tied to that account. I guess you don't know that when FFK's being investigated, his BVN will be "called" up and all accounts the BVN is linked to is flagged. why are you making something simply comprehensible look like rocket science........I must admit you need to enroll at the school of "basics studies"

you harass people for keeping money in their houses & also harass them for keeping money in the bank?

is the plan to starve the family to death?

"Harass people for keeping money in their houses?" Ok, you are sounding ridiculous. Your moral compass must be so faulty. Why will law enforcement be after these of they were innocent
3. a toddler knows that with the current banking system, accounts are linked & there is no hiding place for transactions, whether they are carried out in a space station bank or a hole in the ground bank. so its kind of 'funny' to state that they were trying to hide anything. accounts are linked? without BVN? Oh! Like Access bank should have known FFK's baby-mama and automatically linked them

4. Fayose is who he is. I won't be dragged into his matter.

Kabashin:
Trash, FFK wife has debunked EFCC lies. Stop being slow as usual.

einsteino:
meaning only about 39 senators were present yet they would come and lecture us on how change begins with us the masses who have to go to work everyday to earn peanuts.

ivandragon:
so how does your statement negate the fact that the EFCC knew the owner(s) of the account?

like I said, you are entitled to your own interpretation of events.

mebluff:
Questions!

Please when this month or any month this year 2016 was International African Women Summit held in Botswana?

Being a Summit, why would Mugabe be seen there? We're taking about Mugabe o

Why would a competent international agency tag a summit 'International' and 'African'? Moronic, isn't it?

We need to install our brain protecting filters in this world of social media before we encourage the ego of one nonentity for one corner like that...abeg

ivandragon:
& you are being myopic & economical with the truth.

if you had taken time to read the statement of the EFCC, they obviously knew the operator(s) of that account, had access to them & could have at anytime, detained them.

you may wish to twist issues to sooth your narrow objectives, but kindly limit your ignorance to yourself.

Giving the commission’s side of the story, Uwujaren said “Contrary to the media spin about the purported arrest of mother and child, a certain Chikwendu Sonia today attempted to withdraw money from an Access Bank account that had been placed on 'Post No Debit' Category, following the discovery of illicit cash flows into the account.

they obviously knew the operator(s) of that account, had access to them & could have at anytime, detained them.

kcnwaigbo:
So in effect, EFCC should go after the spouses of their suspects without any reason at all? In this stupid explanation they couldn't even adduce why the account is under observation!!! What has it got to do with FFK's zenith account

modath:

TheArchangel: :
Please reread the post you quoted. Don't be in a haste.

Very funny!! Your point is very clear, you only sought to wrap it to appear neutral but madame, it's clear as day...

TheArchangel: :
Is that all?
Trying so hard to believe somebody. EFCC is known for spins and media trials so it is quite hard to believe them.

You are trying to believe "somebody", but EFCC according to you is know for spins ( falsehood /propaganda ) & media trials ( tarnish image publicly)so it's hard to believe them (they must be lying )


FFK claimed the account had just 200k & has never had more than 500k at a time, you do realize it's verifiable? Records of transactions exists... EFCC does not have stations in banks, for them to be there, the bank invited them, which means something was triggered!!

Madame try harder, only simpletons will be confused, there is no ambiguity here, it's cut and dried.

ivandragon:
security agencies freeze bank accounts so that withdrawals can not be made...

that's the major essence of freezing an account among other things.

so since the account had been frozen, there was really no point in attempting to detain the woman especially as she was the owner of the account.

she should have being asked to contact EFCC if she had issues with her account being frozen.

those trying to justify this obviously despicable act are wrong.

Why don't these people just build factories and industries instead to create jobs for youth? What purpose is this hotel serving towards making Nigeria a better country?

Wunt the hotel still employ pple?? Assuming its a hotel

Asiwaju9ja:
Do you know that when the incident happened, somebody actually blocked me on facebook because I was trying to explain to him why the chibok thing is real, by debunking with reasons and explanation why the chibok kidnapping and Boko Haram is real. He didn't even believe that Boko Haram is a terrorist group. He believes that it was a government setup to take power back to the North even in the time of Yarádua who killed their leader.

Alanzazani:
i just pray the government wont dump these children and leave them to suffer stigmatization and psychological trauma

Asiwaju9ja:

Icecomrade: :

One thing I know for sure is that Boko haram was a political tool in quest to regain power.

These innocent girls are mere pundits.

This is heartless. This is sheer wickedness.

God's judgement will come someday.

From "it was a scam" to political tool. I am shocked at the way people take this issue of the Chibok girls to play politics.

Eberex:
book haram menac and the kidnapping of the chibok girls was all a political set up by APC government to create uncertain on Jonathan's government. masterminded by key figures in APC.
just keep watching, each of the chibok girls would be returned batch by batch. its not like buhari is even doing anything about it.
the next batch of chibok girls would be released during another crisis.

same way this one is being used to cover up the corruption in the judiciary system
