i have good reason to think this rail will go through more southwest states (Lagos, ogun, Ondo) than southeast states (probably none). I am then suprised why a lotta peeps are talking about the south east senators.

Eguaikide:
But from what the senator stated above its obvious buhari never submitted the rail project in his initial budget presented to the house. Amaechi now came up with the rail project in his budget defence, is it proper for a minister to come and submit a supplementary budget proposal without going through the executive?? If the project was omitted, is it not proper for the supplementary budget to come through the executive and the president? The senators saying the project was not in the budget cannot be said to be privy to what they never saw at the initial stage! Let's be balanced in our criticism!!!!

igboboy3:



Wonderful argument but they will not understand. You don't push budgets through the back door.

dtruth3:
Very simple, this is Tinubu's project.
The Pro-Sariki Senators who are in the majority discovered it, and they had no option but to throw it out.

santori:



the way you guys reason eeh, when we already have ports in delta, rivers and cross river in South south while only lagos has ports in southwest.

having railway line connecting southsouth to South East and then southwest doesn't make any sense to your warped brain. trust me a chicken brain is much better than the one you currently use

sanandreas:

you mention these sea ports.Are they functioning? Ibaka sea port project is there, second Niger bridge is also there. i see it as misplaced priority. The west don't want a functional sea port in the south

PassingShot:

Even as a member of the Appropriation Committee, he may not have known how and when the project was removed for selfish interest of some thieves. Only the Committee Chairman should be asked that question.

eyesofgod:


You misunderstood the person you quoted.

bendovex:
This confirms what Jibrin said, that the Lagos-Calabar rail was not captured in the main budget. However, a supplementary document from the ministry of transport was submitted to that effect by the minister of transportation during his ministry's budget defense, which was later sent to the Senate committee on appropriation for proper appropriation.
But the lying government would want us to believe that Lagos-Calabar rail was captured in the original budget, useless government!
what a shame!

PassingShot:

Use your brain. It's a free gift from God.

This is the Land Transport Committee Chairman speaking.

Your cursed sinators from SS/SE are wicked and don't mind bringing suffering upon those who they claim they represent just to give a dog a bad name.

Why make a fool of yourself ? You have sense but you allow hatred becloud your judgement. Is it in the budget or not whether original or not? Why was it remove entirely?

Dannie2015:
Hw daft was amaechi to hav not included it in d main budget n had to put it forward as a suplimentary budget? He's bn selling his pple out since GEJ's regime n he hasn't stoped yet. Foolish minister.

vascey:
While we insult each other we fail to highlight the salient points.

The Honorable Minister while defending the budget to the committee of land transport presented a supplementary budget to them.

That is the point in contention.

Question: Is that the way to resend budget to NASS? Is it appropriate for Amaechi to send the updated copy of the budget to just the committee while excluding the other members of NASS? Isn't there a due process for this kind of correction or amendment. Was it followed? Is it reasonable to assert that since the committee on land transport had been provided with a fresh budget, therefore the entire members of NASS had been provided the details?

Simple accounting and finance knowledge would tell you that assuming Total T remains the same, once X is credited somewhere, same X must be debited somewhere else.

What did Gbenga Ashafa do when he was presented with a budget different from that presented to his colleagues?

The wailers are quick to say FG is confused while the zombies are quick to point fingers at SS/SE.

What a shame! This whole freaking drama is a shame.

bendovex:

All these dolts like this one here, quoting me out of context and trying to sound intelligent when in reality they are plain silly. I got questions for you poppycocks.
Is it the place of the minister to present the budget to NASS on the same day of his budget defense? and is the NASS constitutionally obligated to accept such documents from a minister?
I understand some fools here are so foolish that they always want to say something, even though they have nothing meaningful to say. it's such a shame.

aresa:


We already have it on tape where Amaechi did in fact argued for and defended the project so in your mind, he was just running his mouth and defending what he never brought forward to the senate?



As usual, you reasoned like a primary school student...
