Mtchww! How does dis thread affect the wailing rates of the wailers? Spits on thread!!!

So just bcus of one person abt thousand of ppl will Surfer dis ad teLl me; hw can we move forward in dis country!!

PDP bunch of liars

In DJ Khalid voice

ANOTHER ONE

Another propaganda. Is Amaechi the only politician (from the region) that would've benefited from that project? What of Senator Akpobio,Ben Murry Bruce, and many more? Why should Saraki remove it just because of Amaechi and punish the other ones that stands with him?
The truth it that,the Project was never included in the first place. Bubu has already tell us we will not benefit anything from his government , because we are 5%.

PROVACATEUR:
Amaechi onye nzuzu whipping up another sentiment when the first one failed.


Amaechi should resign for misleading Nigerian s

it no go better for u.
u no go get honour.
wat is Ur problem?
can u reason like a concerned Nigerian?
why whip up political sentiments?
its clear that southern senators didn't fight for this Lagos-calabar project.

The major problem we hv in Nigeria is NASS. It's the most corrupt and self seeking arm of govt that exists anywhere! They award themselves bugos salaries, allot themselves gargantuan contracts. Frustrate every anti-corruption move of the govt. It's a travesty of democracy!

While SE and SS is living in fool paradise a the expense of the development of their region because of their unreasonable hate for Amaechi the North and the SW has just recorded a point in the development of their region. Buhari should please forget about that Lagos-Calaba rail project and consider another project he can bring to the SW.

na wao

am sure they also remove the budget because it pass through Jonathan hometown (otuoke)

I said it! Our major problem here is the law makers!

You see....we are destroying ourselves cos of personal issues.

This our generation sure av a long way to go.

Senators will come and go but policies and project will stay.

it still amazed me how ppl say this administration is confused! Please is this a sign of confusion or sign that the PDP lead senators and the party entirely does not want this government to succeed!!! They'd rather make Nigerians suffer so as to put the blame on the current government and brainwash the masses again to vote for them comes 2019!! Let's be wise...

TippyTop:
This administration and NASS are the most confused and clueless in history.

I dont know who is telling the truth anymore. Believing anybody is at your own risk. Nigerians wake up!

Saraki and Amaechi na APC. So wat are u writing? The brainswashing to win started since the last election.

bejeiodus:
This is nothing but yellow journalism. This is the kind of news one hears from inebriated men at a drinking joint. What does Saraki stand to gain from fighting Amaechi? The Goje part even got me laughing out harder. Vanguard does not need to soil its reputation because it wants to attract readers.

Which reputation?

In this highest bidder system of 9ja today?
4get that thing.

When I read some people's comments here,I just wander if some have brain.What is happening now is for the benefit of we people of this country.This is to show us who the enemies of this country are.Those who do not want Nigeria to progress.Some people are calling APC confused and clueless party but not a party that agrees to loot our resources and clean mouth.I hope APC had learnt their lesson.Accepting all kinds of people into the party.

Kingspin:

Like Dongara said, it's easy. Shall we see verified copies of the original budget that includes Lagos-Calabar railway?
And copies of NASS one with the railway missing?

seanblaise:
our law makers are sacrificing the good of the people on the alter of personal vendetta....why would they shove such a project under the mat jxt to spite Amaechi...A house divided against itself shall surely crumble....

I tell you

Which party has more senators? I will not exchange words with u, I guess u r one of those impatient Nigerians brainwashed by PDP or u r from the east!

Kingspin:
Saraki and Amaechi na APC. So wat are u writing? The brainswashing to win started since the last election.

How can you remove something that was not there in the first place?
Is that possible?
Maybe in zombie land.
APC and lie lie stories be like bread and butter.

All Propaganda Congress, APC

Have you seen verified copies of the budget that includes the railway and the final NASS one that doesn't include it?

Those of us old enough know one person with a record of cancelling rail stuff in the South: Buhari.

Ask Chief Lateef Jakande with happened to Lagos metroline and deposit paid by Lagos State after Buhari coup.

People easily believe anything bad they hear about Saraki. Because they are programmed to.

You think Ben Bruce, Akpabio and other SS & SE senators will just be looking as the rail is removed by Saraki?

Thunder Loading

If you think the project is a South south thing then leave them. And be ready to hear more version on this rail project

Lagos-Calabar Rail Project: New Controversy Between Arms Of Nigerian Government Over 2016 Budget

SaharaReporters spoke to several players in the controversy and discovered that the federal government did not initially include the project in the budget proposals.

The Minister for Budget and Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, told our reporter at the weekend that the government included the project in the 'amended budget' and passed it to the Standing Committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Also, a presidency source who did not want to be named said after the federal government had included Lagos-Calabar in its proposal, the Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi was sent to meet with the Senate Committees on Land Transport and Appropriations.

The Senate Committee on Land Transportation is headed by Gbenga Ashafa from Ogun State while Senator Danjuma Goje heads the Committee on Appropriations.

Mr. Goje was said to have been lukewarm towards the rail project, asking instead to meet Amaechi privately at home. It was not clear if he eventually met with Amaechi.

The House chairman on Appropriations, Jibrin Abdulmunin told SaharaReporters emphatically that the federal government did not include Lagos-Calabar rail in 2016 budget, and that he found himself saddled with handling the final outcome of the budget appropriations after the standing committees handed their recommendations to him.

He asserted that neither the Goje-led Senate Appropriations Committee nor Senator Ashafa’s Committee on Land Transportation sent any recommendations to his committee to include the Lagos-Calabar rail in the budget. In tweets in response to claims by members of the federal executive that National Assembly deliberately removed the project from the budget, Jibrin stated that they “found N54b floating” in the Ministry of Transportation budget and decided to allocate it to Lagos-Kano rail, an airport security project, and the rest given to the Baro Inland Port project in Niger state.

Also at the weekend, the Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, released a series of text messages apparently targeted at Saharareporters affirming that the executive did not include the Lagos-Calabar rail in the budget.

Further investigations by SaharaReporters however showed that the Standing Committees did receive an amended budget that included the project.

Senator Gbenga Ashafa who initially sent his legislative aide to brief SaharaReporters later spoke to us by phone confirming that the Senate Committees received an amended budget asking to have the Lagos-Calabar Railway rail included in the budget. He said he even jokingly asked where the Lagos end would terminate.

The Senator later issued a press statement in which he affirmed what he had earlier told SaharaReporters.

In the course of our investigations, we subsequently obtained a text message sent by Abdulmunin Jubril, the House of Representatives Chairman on Appropriations, in which he provided an update to leaders of all the Standing Committee leaders, and asking them to stand by him in case the executive fought back because he had included and removed some items from the budget.

Indeed, he is the Canceller-in-Chief
Only zombies will believe this latest story by the APC people, walahi.
People wey get brains intact will know that it is their usual wayo.

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

At least we know our Twitter Senator is loyal to his Pocket.

Remove a major project but leave budget sum intact, what happens to the money?
