A 100% project-by-project breakdown of what the loan is meant for should be published so the people can be the judge on the viability of the projects. That shouldn't be too difficult...

greatcrown:
How many project has PMB started from scratch and completed?

How many project did he meet in office and completed; please do well to inform us the work progress at inception of this administration and what this administration added in terms of percentage?

Federal projects arent LGA projects that you start and complete in a day, federal projects typically span several tenures. I bet you can't also name any single reasonable capital project started and completed ny the former regime in 5 years.

comshots:
Nigeria have grown pass this kind of rail line.

Lol.. please what kind of 'rail line' is more advanced than a standard gauge?

Sheuns:
It's not too unrealistic only if they give it full attention it can be done.

Full money for the project has already been released, so in the part of the FG, the project has already received 'full attention'. But then, only a miracle can get it completed in 7 months, including construction of the stations etc.

AutoReportNG:
It was reported in January according to Punch Newspapers that despite the challenges facing the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan rail project, the facility would be put to use by January 2019.

The government said it had adopted carefully considered measures to holistically tackle the challenges of obstruction caused by water, gas and sewage pipes, adding that Nigerians would start enjoying the rail line from the first month of next year.

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, gave the assurance after the monthly meeting of the Lagos-Ibadan Rail line Project Steering Committee at the Ibadan Railway Yard, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Amaechi was quoted in a statement issued in Abuja by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Transportation, Yetunde Sonaike, as saying, “We hope this project will be completed within the lifespan of construction. Nigerians are putting us under immense pressure.

Well, we can gladly say to you that work has started in earnest at the Lagos-Ibadan Rail Project and these are some of the pictures we can gather.

The question is that, Is 2019 feasible for this project? Time will tell

Good stuff, but I wonder why they always have to give these unrealistic targets; how on earth can this be completed in less than a year?

Dino Melaye: Asari Dokubo reveals how Buhari, police allegedly tried to kill Senator (Watch Video)

https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Asari-Dokubo.jpg

Asari Dokubo, ex-militant leader has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari has marked Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye for death.
Dokubo claimed that Buhari arranged with the police to push the lawmaker out of a moving van.

Recall that Melaye was alleged to have jumped off a moving police van in Abuja conveying him to Lokoja to face criminal charges.

However, the ex-militant leader, wondered how the lawmaker could have jumped off the van with security operatives present and the doors locked.

In a video he posted in his Facbook, Dokubo said, “People are happy with what is happening to Dino Melaye, saying he deserves it.

“Yes he does but if Melaye, who was one of the most vociferous and loquacious personalities in Buhari’s campaign that brought this evil on us can be treated this way by throwing him out of a moving vehicle, then it can happen to any one of us.

“Buhari wanted to kill Melaye by throwing him off a bus, if not, how was it possible for Melaye to have jumped off a Hiace bus with police officers.

“In a Hiace bus, there are two seats in the front and four rolls of seats behind. In one of the role Melaye was seating there were armed police men and it was locked, how did Melaye jumped off?

“Was there a transfiguration or a Dino Melaye’s rapture?

“You know he has being singing some religious songs, may be he was in the spirit and was raptured and only to find himself on the ground outside the bus.

“People don’t ask questions, Buhari thinks that because he is the captain of ‘Dundy United’ we all are fans and players of this his club.

“The conclusion we can get from all this was that Dino Melaye was marked to be killed.”

All these bunkums trying to stay relevant... so which story are we going to believe?

- Original report said Dino jumped out of the vehicle after he realised he was being taken to be arraigned at Lokoja instead of Abuja

- Ben Bruce after visiting Dino, tells the press that 'an asthmatic' Dino was teargased by the police in the police vehicle; reason why he had to jump out a moving vehicle to save his life from suffocating.

- Now the fat agbero has come with another twist, that Buhari marked Dino to be murdered and the best way they could execute it was by asking the police to push him off the car.

People can be jobless shaa...

LifeofAirforce:
Nobody deserves to be treated the way Dino melaye was treated today

I was touched seeing him been dragged to court on a stretcher.

It is important we all concemn this wickedness now else it would become a common problem to us all in the future.

What if I told you there is absolutely nothing wrong with that man on the stretcher?... He's probably even more healthy and hearty than you and me and everyone involved in his case knows this.


Meanwhile did you say 'wickedness'?... Isn't it weird that Nigeria has over 100,000 innocent people languishing in prisons across the nation without trial for no other crime than the fact that they are poor, yet when one mega rich politician is grazed by the police, we all jump into defence shouting 'wickedness'?

cjfavour:
You're funny. Which grass are the cows we have in Nigeria today eating? Is it not the same grass we have in the country? Or did they import the one you're advocating and placed them on the way? I've said it before that to you people, knowing about politics is lying so to me I'm not a politician. I stand on truth and nothing else.

How on earth did you dig up such a dead and rotten thread?...

Meanwhile after refreshing my mind on the topic, and then reading your response, I'm forced to ask a question?... Besides the basic knowledge of reading and writing, do you have any other form of education?.. I'd imagine anyone who completed secondary school should have understood my point above.

Anyway, I'll only advise you to go back and read the same thing I wrote earlier. If you couldn't comprehend my point that all grass isnt the same, same way all species of rice or maize aren't the same, then I'm sorry; my post was probably not suited for someone like you.

Kenstufez:
Truth be told, Democracy should be democracy, and the key to development and achievement by any responsible government is the view, the voice and criticism by the opposition!

Apc government does not want to develop or work for this country. To me it is an EVERYTHING THAT BENEFITS ONLY THE APC goes government. GOVERNMENT OF THE APC TO THE APC AND BY THE APC!!

DINO opposed the government and that's what he is getting!!

I'm tired of reading this nonsense falsehood being peddled by some gullible folks about Dino being "witch-hunted because he opposed FG." Dino isn't the only one who has opposed FG, he isn't even one of the top government critics. As a matter of fact, we've had people of influence who not only criticized govt, but even used abusive words directly on buhari but they still walk freely. So let's stop deluding ourselves further with this lie.

Dino's current travail is just another episode in his personal rivalry with his former friend, now enemy, Yahaya Bello. Both men have openly boasted about bringing each other down and Dino has made several singing videos taunting Bello of being a loser. Both men should fight and enjoy their personal battles and stop dragging the rest of Nigerians into it.

FFK should go and suck poo.. How exactly is Dino being humiliated? and what does this even have to do with Buhari?.... Does everything have to always be about buhari in the heads of these twerps? ... There was an allegation against him and he was cordially invited by the police to explain. The man ignored the invites endlessly until the police had to pay him a visit. He then damaged and jumped off the police vehicle, then sat on the floor in protest. And now this psycho calls it humiliation; who exactly is humiliating who?

And what's all these silly sense of entitlement being displayed by politicians?... Innocent masses are being arrested everyday for different silly reasons, but the moment a 'big man' is arrested, these animals begin to speak up about humiliating. Is Dino better than the hundreds of thousands of innocent Nigerian prison inmates who have been locked up for years and decades without trial?

Phase 2 completed.
Dino 1 - 1 Yahaya

valentineuwakwe:
then leave all this plenty talk..which side of the drama are you....yahaya bello , dino or sidon look camp?

I definitely prefer Dino to the tadpole Yahaha, Dino is the most lively, active and entertaining senator in the chambers, but he should man up and play his game with his mate and stop boring us with all these fake scripts and sympathy seeking shenanigans.

BankeSmalls:
how many people died in Benue when Obasanjo ruled? Zero.

Lol... dont know what you guys were arguing about, but this comment above just struck me. Seems you just confirmed the claims of the other dude that you were 'too young to know' when OBJ ruled.

valentineuwakwe:
too many talks confusing us the masses on these case...i see a personal vindatta against him for speaking out against the govt, which is using his torture and ordeals to warn n intimidates other oppositon senators to stay clear...this dss or police,mi keep asking where their loyalty n sense of duty lies.....is it to the nation or to buhari?

Dino is in a personal fight with his former friend now political enemy; Dino is engaged in a personal fight with Yahaya Bello; this issue has nothing to do with Buhari. Both men have promised to bring each other down and have openly boasted about it on TV.

I'm tired of hearing and reading about this diversion where people keep tying Dino's current plight to FG or presidency. Dino isnt the only senator or politician who has said something critical of the FG, he also isnt even the senator who's been most critical of the FG. We've got several people even from PDP who have directly used abusive words on buhari but no one bothered them. People should stop confusing Dino's fight with Yahaya to be a fight with FG; even Dino himself has never for once made that claim....

And by the way, everything Dino is going through currently is just self orchestrated drama to buy sympathy and support from gullible Nigerians; jumping out of a slow moving vehicle and subsequently sitting on the floor to protest being taken to Kogi, shouting at the top of his voice that he would kill himself, and then miraculously going into a self induced coma and ICU for 'trauma', refusing to walk to court but rather insisting that he should be wheeled to court on a stretcher and so on.... Just ridiculous that there are actually Nigerians out there who actually cant see the funny drama being played.

These bokoharam folks are just like zombies in zombie movies. The more you kill, the more they resurface and surge towards you... na wa!

DerideGull:
Which criminal justice system will allow the arraignment of individual on a stretcher other than that of the zoo called Nigeria?

This is normal practice all over the world.

todaynewsreview:
This is not fair at all. The law ought to give human face in cases like this. Humiliating an individual in an intensive care unit is inhuman.

This isnt the first time a person would be arraigned in court on a stretcher or even on a hospital bed. There's nothing humiliating or inhumane about this; the law has to take its course.

Besides, everybody knows there absolutely nothing wrong with Dino, the man is hale and hearty and is just acting an unnecessary drama to win sympathy and political support for his next political exploits. When he was invited by the police, he had the option of simply walking into the police station like hundreds of other politicians before and after him; this case would have since been dismissed and Nigerians would have been talking of better things by now. But he chose to act drama on your heads.

Drama king...

Lol... why do I feel this is another one of them jokes by some lazy minds?

Jaymaxxy:
And both won't possibly get a second term.

Trump would easily gst a second term. The people who hate him are the same people who hated him before his election.

As for Buhari, it's almost a similar story, the only thing that can stop him from being re-elected is the pedigree of the candidate presented by PDP.

Pierced:
This woman is d biggest scam to ever happen to Nigeria's politics.........she was just doing eye service when she came online to expose her husband and claiming she won't support him if he runs again.

lol......paying accolades to a man that has done nothing to deserve it..........is her being a hypocrit.(The biggest hypocrit of all time.

From boko haram....fulani herdsmen....massive corruption...police and army brutality against ipob when the people in need of the brutality is fulani herdsmen.....poverty.....unemployment.....inflation......calling Nigerian youths lazy......bar economic policies.....etc.

2019 will be very interesting.....get ur pvc Nigerians.

See painment!... You now expect a woman not to support her own husband again?

[s]keep kwayet!

It's only a fool that will fail or refuse to see buharis hand in all of this.

Shame in presidiot buhari

Shame on yahaya bellow

Shame on tifnubu jagabandit

Shame in APC minions and zombies(the category I believe you belong)

Shame on BMC crew[/s]

Too many mannerless twerps online...

obailala:
And why exactly should Buhari be fighting Dino? Because Dino makes one or 2 statements criticising the government so therefore if a stone scratches Dino's legs it must be Buhari?... I'm sorry but that's the height of simple-mindedness.

Dino isnt the only notable person who has spoken out against government policy, we even have people who dont just criticise the FG, but actually use abusive words directly on Buhari regularly; so how come Dino is the one Buhari decided to go out of his way to chase?

Seems like some folks are just desperate to claim victory against an 'enemy' even when there's no contest.. Even the so called enemy has no clue he's in a contest with anyone. Anyway, why should anyone even be surprised at this?.. Afterall the same set of people found a way to add Buhari's name to US election sheets and rejoiced ecstatically when Trump won claiming they had won another contest against 'enemy Buhari'.

Why exactly is this been narrated as a Dino vs Buhari instead of Dino vs Bello case?... What's the obsession with Buhari?

If by any stroke of chance the recall went through, then it would have been clear that Nigeria is just a joke; imagine sacking the most vibrant senator..

alBHAGDADI:
When we humans mess things up, we turn around to blame God. We forget that he gave us all we need to make life better for each and everyone of us, but we mismanage them.

Look at what is happenning in Nigeria today. We are laying the foundation for our dooming, and we are stupidly cheering it on. We are gradually becoming proud of doing the wrong things. Look at those we are celebrating and enriching; people of questionable character.

Tonto Dikeh recently bagged a Niger Delta award for PEACE. From the outfit she wore to the event, it shouldn't take anyone to study rocket science to know she doesn't represent peace. Someone that couldn't maintain the peace in her marriage and is known to be violent is now seen as an ambassador for peace in a troubled Niger Delta region. Now we know why the region is the way it is.

BamBam who got sexed in the toilet is now getting endorsed and interviewed all across media houses. When will a girl who scored the highest in WAEC get such attention? We humans hardly read their news. But when it comes to BBNaija, we known everything about the show. Still, we turn around to wonder why children now prefer to pay for miracle centres when they want to write exams.


Bisola who was live on TV s*cking and munching d*ck is now a UN ambassador for the girl child. Female children are to now look up to her and draw inspiration from her actions. Can you all now see why the UN is sick and can never bring peace?


BBNaija

Do you think it makes sense for a show to give millions to an individual in a country where millions are wallowing in poverty? What exactly did the individual do to deserve such? What does that teach our youths? It teaches them that hardwork doesn't pay cos you can now sleep and have sex to become a millionaire.

People see nothing wrong with the show. Many youths are out there getting up early to catch the morning bus so as to beat traffic, while someone who slept for months woke up a millionaire. Is that money not enough to end the poverty of thousands? Why give it to just one person who did not significant that others can't do?

Many youths are looking for funds to go for farming or start up a business, yet these multinational companies are endorsing BBNaija housemates with millions, housemates who spent months indoors doing nothing.

The sad part is that people see nothing wrong in all of these. They won't until we all look back and don't know where a problem came from.

How exactly does a private act by Bambam make the world a sick place?.... The real thing making the world (especially Nigeria) a sick place is that we have too many holier-than-thou judgemental hypocrites roaming about our space; too many modern day Pharisees and Saducees.

NwaAmaikpe:



Efe fooled and eventually let down Nigerians just like Buhari.

I stand with Tobi on this.

How did Efe let you or anybody down? Did he promise you anything? Does he owe you anything?

MrHowto:
The activities of Igbo drug traffickers have overshadowed that of Igbos who engage in pharmacy business yet they are not tag Igbo drug traffickers.

Making such generalisations depends on the gravity of the crime. Drug trafficking is very different from murder and ethnic cleansing. So No! The elements involved in drug trafficking havent overshaddowed anything.

Mynd44:
FFK and his myopia.

There are Herdsmen and there are criminal herdsmen. For you to tag all herdsmen "terrorists" is silly because even the herdsmen are in danger of the criminals among them

Unfortunately through their activities, the criminal herdsmen have overshadowed the non-criminal herdsmen; so you cant really blame anyone for just tagging all herdsmen as terrorists.

rosalieene:
stupid silly boy.... what you should have ended privately and not coming to social media to make the announcement. Enjoy the little fame you got because of Nina because very soon it will be a thing of the past, mtcheeww.


Well, you've sha cleared road for confused Nina who was stuck between choosing you or miracle.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!!

There's nothing stupid about what he did. She brought the matter to the public not him; she dragged and embarrassed him publicly, so it's only natural that he responds publicly. Besides, nothing hurts as much as what he's going through now, so expecting maturity from a person in his current state is just out of place.

enlady:
Why are you trying to change the goal post? What sources? Everything I wrote is in public domain

(1) You said the Benue state should arm a vigilante group to defend the people. I told you one has been set up by the Benue gov but the army and police has arrested it members. The police has also commenced mop up of firearms used by Rivers state vigilante (neighborhood watch) set up by Wike.

http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/benue-killings-arrest-militia-members-pre-planned-military-aliyu-tershaku-coordinator-livestock-guards/
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/03/police-order-nationwide-mop-illegal-arms-1/

(2) Go and read the firearms act (1990). There is no provision for individual license to bear guns such as AK47. The president can issue a proclamation at any time to mop up both licensed and unlicensed firearms. Go and study the law
You have seen the level of carnage in Benue, how do you expect a vigilante armed with light weapons to repel the herdsmen attacks?
A deadly militant group has killed over 100 persons in less than a week and you are advocating for a vigilante to confront them?

Your support for PMB should not rob you of objective reasoning. A true patriot is one that owes loyalty to his country not to an individual, ideology or political party.
I would no longer respond to you.

You are still missing the point, the vigilantes that were disarmed, were their guns licensed? Yes or No?.... If their guns weren't licensed, then it means they were illegal weapons. That the vigilante group was setup by the governor, that isnt enough reason to just conclude that their arms were licensed. If a person in the position of the governor sincerely pushes to get those weapons licensed, it can be easily achieved; the governor is simply failing in his responsibilities and giving watery excuses. Ekiti has the cattle vigilantes, Borno has the civilian JTF, if the Benue government is serious, it can set up an armed vigilante group.

Of course civilians wouldn't be permitted to carry ak47s, those are reserved for armed forces. But even if the herdsmen are armed with some 47s, they are still foreigners in Benue and cannot understand the Benue forest terrain better than Benue people; a dedicated vigilante made up of Benue indigenes armed with even dane guns can chase away all Fulanis from the state.
