Foreign Affairs › Re: Oil-rich Venezuela Finally Devalues Currency, Raises Petrol Price 6000% by obailala(m): 11:28am On Feb 18, 2016
6000% though shocked shocked

Sometimes I keep wondering what will happen in Nigeria is we finally succumb and devalue, petrol prices will suddenly skyrocket to about N140/litre and it's either a massive protest starts again across the nation or the FG will be forced to resume payment of subsidies. Obviously the price of all imported commodities from rice to tomato paste will also double. God help us!
Politics › Re: Budgetgate And The 2 Trillion Fraud by obailala(m): 11:02am On Feb 18, 2016
9jatriot:
While it is true that the budget has been an embarrassing situation, we are glad to know that it was not swept under the carpet as we know that the previous government would have done. This is the kind of budget that we have been passing year in year out and has led to no development and has resulted in no development. I am glad that for once the parliament is really doing its oversight function for once. I said it before and will say it again, PDP did APC and Nigeria a great favour without knowing by pointing out the errors. Nigeria will be better off for it.
I always said it that PDP is best suited as an opposition party, now for the first time in Nigeria's democratic history, we have a NASS that is actually scrutinising the budget. If this isn't a great benefit of CHANGE, what else is?

Where would the power come from when the power companies claim they dont have enough revenue to even operate the present facilities, let alone improve?

I would rather say, "pre-paid meters before increment." With that, we know we only pay for what we use.

Meanwhile,in a sane country,pmd is supposed to resigne due to the irregularities seen in these"budget of chains"
FYI, SR are the oldest members of the wailers club, they've been wailing against every single FG since the days of OBJ. Unfortunately many did not have access to the internet then so only realised the existence of SR under the days of GEJ.

Politics › Re: Enugu - Ph Express Road Abandoned by obailala(m): 10:34pm On Feb 17, 2016
abacrested:
as expected that's the best you can present,starting the blame game,meanwhile Gej awarded the first phase of that project which is more than 80% completed and awarded the second phase at the twilight of his administration and I expected the final phase to be included in this year's budget simple
GEj awarded the contract but how much did he actually release? That is the real issue; awarding 1000 contracts (for political favour) but releasing next to zero funds for their execution, the 2015 budget had virtually zero naira for project execution so the contractors simply abandoned the job a day after.

Hopefully some funds may have been budgeted for the road in this year's budget, but let's wait until we see the complete breakdown of the works budget for 2016 before this wailing continues. I remember sometime in late January, Ekweremmadu complained that only N10billion was budgeted by Fashola for the Enugu-PH road. I understand changes may have been made to the budget figures since then but let's do the right thing by waiting till the authentic breakdown is released before this wailing continues.

Politics › Re: Why Is Lagos Erecting Iron Fence Between The Railway Track? by obailala(m): 10:00pm On Feb 17, 2016
Love Machine:
Does other developed and developing countries erect fences on their railway tracks?
Yes they do, it's for safety reasons so people dont walk into the tracks and get crushed. Another reason could also be to prevent people from being electrocuted as might be the case for electric trains. Some areas in the UK for instance also have high fences because its a common occurrence for thieves to enter, vandalise and steal copper cables used for powering trains grin

Many of us may have see the iron fences that lagos state government is mounting between railway tracks.If i may ask,is that not another way of siphoning public fund?The ex governor fashola had used #2b to plant flowers.What did lagosians benefits from it.Nothing.Nigeria needs human development not irrelevant project where funds will be diverted into private pockets.
Train tracks (within cities) are meant to be fenced to prevent thoroughfare, it's for safety reasons.

. The fact that you can type a few igbo words does not make you igbo, google is always there to help. We know your likes, the hypocritical tribe.
Can you post any link that says they were given more than 2.9 billion or you think if it had been a mistake nobodyy would have called the attention of the mgt. Of dailytrust to that. If 88billion can be budgeted for SW roads that needs just maintainace, then 17billion+ 2.9billion should be budgeted for SE that needs new bridge plus having the worst (untarred)federal roads in the six geopolitical zone. You guys are proving your 5% policy, to which we say CONTINUE.
You are inconsequential in the scheme of things and your opinion about my origins is as useless as the last 's' in the word 'useless,' I would advise you to stick that worthless opinion up your a*s.

Regarding the topic, it is a free world, so you are absolutely free to reason in whatever way you choose to reason. You can as well go and join ipob in their protests at Aba since that is obviously where you are driving at.

Just look at you...Oga don't patronise ....you have never been patronising but the guys in south east are selling ...so your patronage is immaterial
Some people just cant look beyond their nose to get a message; it's indeed a shame.

Oga Tony, I did not say anyone should not patronise, stop acting like a scorned wife living in a face me I face you apartment. I only advised that the Op use a more patronising tone or else a thread which should have bren a good thread will be derailed into a tribal battle again as usual. Even before the first page ended, it had already degenerated into tribal battle. Wisdom is indeed very rare, except of course the Op intentionally wanted it to be a tribal fight.
Politics › Re: How Buhari Is Dealing Deadly Blows To The Nigerian Economy. by obailala(m): 1:46pm On Feb 17, 2016
The mega bucks that criminal businessmen and bankers are making from this round-tripping deals is completely frustrating every effort by the CBN to manage the value of the naira. I think the best/only option now may just be to devalue and let the currency float seeing that there's basically no way in which these criminal elements can be checkmated. A very bitter pill to swallow though. undecided

He has said nothing wrong here.
Honestly, we don't need to push them down because of their developmental strides. They need to be encouraged.
Let other regions also take a clue from them in these stride.
And that's what Igbo's should clamor for at this time not some foolish Biafra thingy that brings up a sense of hostilities against them.
I support buying made in Aba products.
I support other regions copying such stride.
At least devt are usually copied and improved on by well-meaning societies.
Dont get me wrong, I support buying made in Aba products and I believe that when the market (patronage) grows, issues of product quality would be a thing of the past. I personally have a tailor designer in Aba who produces bespoke suits of superb quality. With the right patronage and support, there's no telling how great these guys can be. But then, regarding the Op's message, to you the tone of his message may not have sounded wrong, but a lot of people took it differently and the reason is quite obvious. I was only stating my opinion though in the form of an advice.

This dude claims to be igbo yet you can never catch him saying something good about them.

He'd rather attack anyone who so much as paints the igbo in a positive way. He jumps in head first into any thread created to denigrate, disparage and cast aspersion on the igbos. He rushes in everytime with his unsolicited advice, telling us to bend over and get fvcked in the arse in order to be liked by the other tribes that inhabit this country.

Bro, i mean no disrespect...you need to shut da fvck up!
Truth and words of wisdom don't always sound like a melody in the ears of those being told. Inordinate exhibitionism is not a 'positive' attitude at all; while you think you are 'saying something good' and displaying a superiority complex, what you actually do is exhibit a sad inferiority complex and lack of esteem. But then, I don't expect you to understand what I'm saying.

the N17billion is a seperate project for niger bridge. N2.9billion is the amount allocated to SE. I don't know what's wrong with all ye ofe.mmanuu guys. Your level of hypocrisy is too much. Do you forget that this second niger bridge will benefit the SS more.
Abughim onye ofe mmanu, abum onye n'eji isi ya eche echiche. I know a lot of you ipob guys wish and pray that the value was 2.9bn so you can justify your delusions and street madness, but sorry, here is an extract from the report by dailytimes which summarises the budget breakdown:

"For the South-East, it showed that some important projects are concession of 2nd Niger Bridge in Anambra and Delta States, N17 billion;"
http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/budget-s-west-gets-lion-s-share-of-projects/133692.html

In your delusion, only you knows what you mean by "N17billion is a seperate project for niger bridge," I suppose this 'separate' project is on the moon and it's not part of the Works Ministry's budget right?... And what do you mean by "second niger bridge will benefit the SS more"? how old are you even? undecided

I used to see you claim to be igbo, but guess what? You're very worthless! Sagamu -benin road you are talking about has nothing to do with SS! from ondo to Benin is very solid. People call it Sagamu -benin doesn't mean it will enter into benin..
I was only giving an example with the Sagamu-benin road; obviously not a good example because most of the road falls in the SW. But then, from the report by daily times, it clearly included the nigerbridge as a project in the SE.

And by the way, what does my claim to be Igbo have to do with this issue? Are tou okay? Why cant some grown up adults understand that not everyone is given to some foolish clannishness? Some of you can really be irritating. I guess in your wisdom, since I am Igbo then it means I should always put my common sense at bay and start wailing senselessly over non-issues?... I'm sorry bro, if that's the criteria for being Igbo in your small world, then I happily reject being Igbo. But that does not mean you can change who I am. Thanks

But sorry, apply a bit of common sense and kindly tell me how N17billion for 2nd Niger bridge project is included under SE but yet the total sums up to 2.9billion?

So it is not solely a SE business per se.

Most road projects span more that one zone, e.g. the Sagamu-Benin road was listed in the SW (probably cos most of it falls in the SW).

I believe we all have conscience as expected of humans. The problem with we Nigerians is we have this tendency to pretend that all is well and just in this country. We see evil brazenly...systematically being perpetrated against SE yet we pretend we don't see it. We can try to find excuses for the paltry 2.9 billion naira awarded to SE but we know deep down in our minds and conscience...THIS IS EVIL! Take a look at this table!

SE Governors must Reject The Ministry of Power, Works and Housing Budget Allocation. Tell the ministry...we don't need it!
Op have you ever bothered to ask yourself why it is only dailytrust that has carried this news of 2.9billion for the south east?

Have you also bothered to ask yourself why the report counts as a project in the SE, N17billion for the 2nd Niger Bridge, but it ends up saying the total for the SE is 2.9billion?

Have you also ever bothered to ask yourself why Ekweremmadu complained that only N10billion was earmarked for the Enugu-PH road and N3billion for the Onitsha-Enugu road: http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2016/01/2016-budget-cant-work/
Yet even with the above, Dailytrust still states that the total for the SE is N2.9billion?

Dont you think the right thing to do is to wait until we get clearer reportage of these figures before we start opening threads to wail?

You've been posting this same pics about since today as if the spirit of anonimi has possessed you. grin

By the way, everybody knows Mr Sheriff is a very heavy moral baggage, he was virtually expelled from the APC sometime in 2014 for this very reason as no one wanted to associate with him. He then ran into the welcoming arms of a desperate GEJ and PDP accepted him as one of their stalwarts. So please can you kindly point out the APC fan or fans who were hailing Modu Sheriff for allegedly crossing to APC?

So in essense you are saying the Yorubas are bullying Igbos?... Tufia gi!. That is very rubbish reasoning. The only people people hindering the success are the useless unpatriotic set of Igbo leaders who only sleep, wake, wine, dine and collect chieftaincy titles for achieving nothing when they return from Abuja. Today we have people like TA Orji representing Igbos in Abuja and you are here telling me Yorubas are out problem?... All man for himself, while other leaders of other ethnic nationalities are hustling for their people, what are Igbo leaders doing?
