princechurchill:
amechi has some mental issues after that last defeat

ifyan:
Did you guys noticed a new CHANGE in the government.

They forgot to blame GEJ.

This is A Change.

ezivision:
there is no award for foolishness. As fayose hates pmb, he still ask senators to clear fayemi for minister, but alas! My people will reject any good from this govt because their hate. This is project their idol could not do in 6yrs. Did amechi insert keke-napep & local roads without design in the budget also, pls get sense.

perryjohn:

Always ultra pad comes to mind

kenonze:
Stupid lawmakers.


Same lawmakers that made mockery of the presidency saying they should return and present the "real budget" having denied by the ministers that the initial one was error.
You got the second one, u invited the Ministers to defend it. U saw that a certain region will benefit next thing was to turn around and expunged it

modath:



Bubu never intended for Lag -Cal but you agreed there was padding, lots of errors & ommissions in the budget ba? & 54bn was wakaing aimlessly in the budget too?

NASS unilaterally changed the budget proposal for provision of infrastructures to purchase Keke Napep, cut the budget for special vaccines & such nonsense.... but they couldn't work the rail into the budget despite finding "purposeless" money floating like rudderless ship in the budget? Issokay!!!

Walahi, na North go rule us till thy kingdom come! Na dem be baba!!

dtruth3:
Bubu scamming the West since the time of independence!

Abeymills:
Where are d apc zombies?yeye govt dullard clueless president ameachi is a crook n he works 4 bubu Mr president I need more money amechi padd it n giv it 2 senetors budget 2016 join join budget budget of fraud by d fraud 4d fraud

TonyeBarcanista:
My position exactly! I have never seen where a minister will bring his own extra budgetary provision outside what the President submitted. Nigeria is not running parallel presidency. The Lagos-Calabar Rail project was NEVER in the budget.

Pidggin:

May North rule SW forever

sCun:
North will rule Yorubas till thy kingdom come.

dexterinc2003:
Questions that need to be clarified.

1. Why didnt the NASS address the issue while it was on the floor (i.e while Amaechi allegedly defended the amended budget).?

2. Was any of the sums intended for the lagos-calabar rail removed and added to the kano rail project?

All i see here is NASS playing with our collective intelligence as a nation.(based on the loop that amaechi ammended the budget with the knowledge of the presidency)
So its ok for a minister to defend a budget,while you keep silent on its invalidity, only for you to divert those 'invalid' funds to other projects.
Chai!!!

sCun:
I was wondering how a minister will just approach the Senate to add something to an already presented budget. A mere minister. People should learn to think.

kITATITA:


My dear sister, I salute you for the courage to be intelligent in the midst of the silly lynch mob. Amaechi brought the amendment and they accepted and debated it and asked him to defend it. They did not reject it and they didn't ask the President to come and present it to them. When the Health Minister disowned the version for his ministry in their files; they ask him to go and bring his own budget. They didn't ask the president to come and represent to them. I am appalled

SageTravels:
So far so good the NASS are leading. let the blame game continue. like as I said before.

NO MATTER HOW FAR LIE GOES TRUTH WILL SURELY OVERTAKE IT.


but wait o. the minister has not said anything.

modath:

AntiWailer:


Yet they receive from Okonjo Iweala ?

Oh Ok.

She was the president, GEJ was just a figure head.


If the project was a crook project, how come, Buhari refused to sign the budget until it is included ?

Keep screaming till 2019.


Just make sure, you are checking your life and progressing alongside if not, 2019 , you will look back and discover that you have not achieved anything apart from screaming Zombie !!


Suddenly, all illiterates now know what a budget is, some had to 'google' it to understand.

Before now, it would be sent, signed without any scrutiny.

Thanks for the Change we believed in

Pidggin:


If you willingly accept slavehood that is your business. As for us in SS and SE we reject slavery, we are freeborn and will always be.

seunajia:
These guys are demagogues. Circus monkeys playing to the gallery. The budget was amended, represented and that of transport was defended by Ameachi. They are now talking about the original budget which was withdrawn. Isn't that just being silly.

And some never do wells are jumping up and down. I'm not surprised anyway. They've always sabotaged our country. They don't see the folly in cutting their nose to spite their face.

adanny01:


Exactly!

Those who are wailing should have a rethink why Buhari didnt sign the budget.

Infact, if their wailings means one thing, it means Buhari should not bother and just sign the damn budget sothat the project can be forgotten now and forever.

I have never seen such foolishness walahi.

Reference:
I think Amaechi should tactically withdraw from this reimbursement. If he wants to 'chop' the 60 billion alone....

winningwinner:
Is this a curse or what? Anywhere Amaechi goes, trouble is found.

Do you mind him, he thought he was dealing with Rivers State House of Assembly under his watch.

See that the policeman Mbu has had his peace after leaving Amaechi infested area. Now, Amaechi is in the news again for the very wrong reason. I pity this man!!!!

igala1:
All dis nothern senators is not thier fault. If not for d stupidity of my Niger Delta brothers who are so fixated on Hating Buhari due to Instigation by the Igbos as a result of Jonathan loss, this senators wont be bold enough to openly admit adding more money to Kano rail at the expence of Calabar rail. When in d same speech, the same senator is telling us they have d power to add and remove any item from d budget.

If they can add and remove any item from d budget as they claim, why is it Niger Delta project that they are removing due to flimsy excuse that it was not on d original document despite d fact that it was presented to them in d senate as an addedum.

The simple question we need to ask this senators defending d ommission of Calabar lagos rail is this: All d constituency project they added to d budget were they in d original budget submitted to them? The increase in d amount 4 Kano rail was it in d budget submitted to them? All d new road linking thier states they added to d budget was it in in d original document submitted to them? If they can add items not submitted to them on d original document, what stop them from adding the Calabar Lagos rail project that was clearly successfully defended, discussed and submitted to them as an ammendment or addendum? Thier argument that it was not on d original document submitted to them is lame, completely outrageous and dead on arrival!!!!This people must be thinking they are speaking to morons!!!!

The greatest traitors to d Niger Delta right now are those fools, and extreme bitter people who are ready to kill d development of Niger Delta just because they hate Buhari 4 cheap political point.


The truth is dat Buhari got nothing to lose. He is a 72year old man who has been Governor, Minister, millitary head of state and today democratically elected president. He is already a great achiever.


We Niger Delta people are being foolish and myopic. We must protest against NASS.

We must not give away what belong to us just because Jonathan lost election. Niger Delta is bigger than Jonathan loss. We must move on and stop harming ourselves. Jonathan is a Beneficiary of Niger Delta Struggle. He was never part of d struggle. We must not destroy our region just because of a benefiary who never contributed much to our region when he got d opportunity.

We are just being silly and foolish.


According to Peter Obi former Governor of Anambra state, Igbo are d cause of thier maginalisation because they dont know how to negotiate politically when others (North and South west) are negotiating for thier people.

My Niger delta brothers, please we must not end up like them. We should be wiser.

The Lagos Calabar rail is just named Lagos Calabar . The Rail actually goes from Lagos to Calabar to Aba to PortHarcourt to Ughelli to Sapele to Benin and to Ore to Ibadan and back to lagos. It is South west, South South and South East rail. The rail is expected to also link Onitcha and Asaba and Warri.

We claim we are more educated than the North. We brag with our worthless PhDs. Notherners with ordinary primary Six certificates are dribbling our PhD senators like Lionel Messi.
