Something fishy is going on.

The OP is an absolute idiot.

Whats with the need to always project negativity with everything concerning Nigeria?

From the article posted, it wasn't outrightly shut down. They just asked to wait till ICPC concludes it's investigation on it which sounds reasonable. The senate is not a primary investigative body and it's the reports from the investigative bodies they'll use in their probe.

Nigeria is in big trouble

AngelSlay:
Every time stories like this break, it's ordinary Nigerians who lose confidence in public institutions.

Imagine a budget line worth ₦1.3 billion making its way into the national budget, and instead of a transparent legislative probe to reassure the public, the matter is deferred elsewhere. Whether the executive investigation eventually uncovers wrongdoing or not, Nigerians deserve openness, accountability, and answers.

Unfortunately, this is why many young people feel disillusioned. They work hard, pay taxes, obey the law, yet they often feel the standards expected of them are not the same standards applied to those in positions of power.

That said, don't let frustration stop you from building your own future. Invest in yourself. Learn valuable skills. Build a career that can compete globally. Create multiple streams of income. Position yourself so you have options—whether that's working remotely, studying abroad, starting a business, or pursuing opportunities in another country if that's the right path for you.
The goal shouldn't simply be to "escape." The goal is to have the freedom to choose where you live and work because you've built skills that are valuable anywhere in the world.

Regardless of where you eventually settle, never stop demanding transparency, accountability, and good governance. A better Nigeria will only emerge when citizens continue to ask tough questions and insist that public institutions serve the people.

Lol! Nigeria is GONE. omo make i begin find way to leave this country. THIS IS TWO MONTH THE IBADAN SCHOOL KIDS ARE IN CAPTIVE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT.

Sharap, na only to dey speak english online and complain among Una self Una Sabi. No action. After one week everything will just be like nothing happened.

This is a big shame and taint to the Nigerian government in general.

They don’t even have any iota of shame!

Gradually, I being forced to accept that His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is part of the corruption!

He can’t even fire Gbajabiamila and just staring like a portrait in the government house.

9ja my kotry. Which way Nigeria.... ?

Is dis how we will grow in this kocry

Lol, na now you wake up. Bro Nigerians will continue to be suppressed because they allowed it, since they are divided on tribal lines and religion. The innocent folks not too involved will be caught up in their web of stupid, and nothing will be done because they have been made to look weak. If this group of politicians win next election, I don’t know how to explain it. Those clamoring to take power are not different. Sad reality!

Akpabio is a pure breed of both corruption and incompetence. The way he turned useless over night is a plot twist I can never understand

That is why it is hard to vouch for them. They all lack integrity, Nigeria politicians hate the people they govern. Because what is going on in the country is pure madness!

@OP i dislike ALL Nigerian politicians and political parties equally but beginning your post with the highlighted section of the screenshot below is completely wrong and incredibly unprofessional.
Next time,post the news story and log off rather than posting your personal opinion on the story.
Stop trying to lead the reader to follow your line of thought rather than allowing them to form their own views about the news story on their own accord.
Thank you

This is the most corrupt Nigerian government in history.

You mean senate can't perform their own independent investigation and inquiry into how they passed the budget of a supposed none existing agency?

only we the citizens can redeem this country, one day the people will revolt,
enough is enough,
Can this rubbish be tried in china, where it's death sentence

Trust Nigerian government at your own peril.

Don't worry the roads, rice and reelection people will come here to tell you a different story, a slave must be found worthy of his or her chains.

Well, what I see here is avoiding a parallel investigation

Dude, in your story, here is the real reason why the senate is not intervening

However, the Senate declined to entertain debate on the motion.

Deputy Senate President Senator Barau Jibrin (APC, Kano North), who presided over the plenary, ruled against opening parliamentary deliberations on the matter, stating that the Executive arm of government had already initiated steps to investigate the controversy.

Jibrin informed lawmakers that President Bola Tinubu had directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the disputed budget allocation.

He consequently urged senators to refrain from launching a separate legislative inquiry and instead await the outcome of the executive investigation.

The ruling effectively halted Kawu's bid for a Senate-led probe into the controversial N1.3 billion budget insertion, leaving the ICPC investigation as the primary official inquiry into the matter

What you are doing makes you no different from the apc supporters, you know.

You should not lie for likes.

If you like, abuse me, but what you did was not right.

And yeah, I'm voting out APC and voting for obi next year..before you start.

Correct.

But as the report says, ICPC Is already investigating, so a senate investigation is probably parallel work.

Yes, gbajamilia should resign, because he is involved, maybe even tinubu should resign, but at the end, the reaosn for senate not investigating is that ICPC Is on the job. Let's see if they are serious

Checks and Balances in the mud.

True words, but that's not why the Senate is not investigating. Senate is not investigating because presidency has directed ICPC to investigate. Whether ICPC will do a good job, expesically since it is headed by a tinubu appointee is another matter.

Yes, but all this wrong story is unnexessary, because the reason why Senate is not investigating is because ICPC has been asked to investigate.

edogu:

True that, but ICPC is investigating, which is why senate is not investigating.

It is whether ICPC would do a good enough job, that one na the matter, but for now, senate is not investigating because duplication of work may result if they do. And that means wasting money.

Pure nonsense, emotional outburst.....

The reason he brought in his criminal elements into house of rep and senate is actually working. Guys the criminals in power are winning

Easy to criticise, why isn't any of your generations in the HOR or Senate or state HOA if you have the better brain or ideas?

In my opinion, most of the people on this site do not like reading or want to read.

For the record, in my opinion, the chief of staff of the president should resign, and I suspect that the investigation would die a natural death. After all we have a budget that was padded to the brim, and no one is doing anything about it.

But the real reason why senate is not investigating is because ICPC is already investigating. Once ICPC Is on the case, senate does not need to come in and be doing a job that ICPC Is already doing. In a way, though, senate may want to look at the approval process, expesially since some of its own may have been involved in the scam, but then again they are not as neutral as they seem to be. Also, the ICPC May issue summons to senators, who will refuse to respond, and then the whole investigation dies a natural death.

Which is what I expect it to be...investigation dies a natural death.

But the reason, again for the senate not investigating is not to cover up anything, but to avoid duplication. ICPC is already on the job, it is in theory a neutral body and the senate isn't, so at the end, let's see whether ICPC would do a good enough job. Whenter they will is another matter.

(EFCC isn't on the case, I daresay, because the chap at the center was photographed with the EFCC boss).

The OP basically lied about the reason why the senate was not investigating. We all bash government propagandaists here, but then people come and behave like the government propagandaists. Then when we vote out APC we wonder why things are not changing.

Lol.. Funny

"Jibrin informed lawmakers that President Bola Tinubu had directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the disputed budget allocation."

Must we always be sentimental in all our judgement. The senate only 'refrained' from investigating the matter for now because the president has already asked ICPC to investigate it. I don't see how that amounts to 'killing' a motion seeking any probe.
