is this your first time of hearing;
'the source said'
'the source said'?

whenever they want to tell you about how some money was embezzled in the presidency, most times it is 'the source said'

whenever they want to tell you about how fulani herdsmen have killed 1 million farmers, it is 'the source said'
and you've always been very happy about it.

so why are you wailing about 'the source said' today?

hypocrisy might be bigger than corruption in nigeria.

Buhari is not our problem honestly. Let us think twice. Fine we can all vote out Buhari in 2019, but these same sets of politicians that are either reps or senators will still be there when the new president comes in. We ain't going nowhere if we don't boot these guys out. The president is the least of our troubles Walahi.

And come to think of it, if only they can give that man the Ajaokuta sole administrator a free hand to operate, Sumaila will break grounds and revive that steel plant. I have known him from his days at British tobacco, to Lafarge and to Shell. He's a senior engineer that knows his onions from suya. But will these vultures and scavengers allow him? Fingers crossed. I weep for this country.

benben1000:
This same Ajaokuta Steel? I can assure you that over 2 trillion Naira have been looted in the name of Ajaokuta Steel since 80s. Every government from Shagari, to Buhari, IBB to Jonathan looted billions of dollars. And now Buhari? Poor Nigerians!

Stop ranting! If you had followed the public debate yesterday on the floor of House of Representatives, you would have known that Mr Fayemi would have been disgraced.

Ask those who watched it to explain how a fair female activist, Hadiza, I guess, exposed all the corruption being perpetuated in the sector with evidence right from the time of Obasanjo to Fayemi of today.

Fayemi and his junior minister were lucky they boycotted the debate, compelling the HoR to pass a vote of no confidence on them. Some reps even called for his immediate arrest but Speaker Dogara rejected the call.

Take my advice, the worst job you can take in Nigeria is to defend a Nigerian politician because they stink to high heavens!

transformed:
Lol...your submision ridden in ignorance, from Buhari to Mr Sumaila...The only positive things from these dispensation has been from the legislatures...Buhari has been negative, negative, and negative...

Legislators that are asking for the minister to add $500 million? When the minister, his team and the administrator have done their survey and scope? You must be joking. How did they know that Ajaokuta needs additional 500m dols? HOW?

Construction of Gahapi-Nanjing $200 million steel mill begins

Industry Minister MS Hidayat on Friday kicked off construction of a US$200 million integrated blast furnace by a joint venture company in Medan, North Sumatra.

'€œI, on behalf of the Indonesian government, entrust this investment so it can develop in North Sumatra, which is hoped to be a center of development for Indonesia'€™s strategic industries due to its huge potential,'€ he said during the groundbreaking ceremony.

Construction of the steel mill is being carried out by PT Gunung Gahapi Nisco Indonesia, a joint venture between Indonesian steel maker PT Gunung Gahapi Sakti and China'€™s Nanjing Iron and Steel Co.

The first phase of construction is estimated to cost $100 million before it moves forward to the next step of development costing another $100 million.

The first phase is expected to be completed next year and the second phase by 2017.

Dear BMC crew,

If the murder of 400 in Agatu did not touch your souls,

And the murder of 72 in Benue means nothing to you,

And the shambolic management of the Dapchi fiasco is being covered up by you,

And "Mainagate" & "Yusufgate" are being covered up by you,

Then I have just one question for you:

deomelllo:




This is how crooked and corrupt the legislatures are, they are so used to budget padding that the new situation with ministers like Fayemi and Fashola standing in their looting ways looks like an anomaly and challenge.


Fashola's 3 ministries and Fayemi's ministry used to be their cash cow where they pad and approve budgets loaded with unwanted and un-requested funds that the ministers and pam-secs kick backs to the reps in form of contract awards to their front companies.

They even expect the ministries to fund their foreign travels, shopping and estacode pay scams. They are are still going after Fashola for refusing to fund their foreign trips.


When you hear the reps shouting and going sanctimonious, they are not doing so because they care about Nigeria or their legislative duties, it's always about their pockets.


These reps are nothing but greedy clowns and saboteurs.

Nukilia:
This same industry has been gulping millions of dollars in the last few years and we have nothing to show for it. Government don't have any business running the Ajaokuta steel factory. Let private investors run the factory and stop dumping the nations money in a black hole

This is what yoruba people call Agbana... (do-do-mi)

IFearGod:
Yes, you are absolutely right! This project is becoming a national disgrace and again confirming the ineffectiveness and lack of foresight on side of the government over the years. The government doesn't want to lose grip on it being a national asset. But I think the way out of this is to make it a P-P partnership arrangement where the government would have at least 51% stake. Bringing in private investors would help distribute the risks involve and also help provide needed expertise and technocrats.

chloedogie:


Our corrupt system and politicians pave ways for even the sane technocrats to start misbehaving whenever they are given political appointments. Imagine someone like deiziani who worked years for shell rose to the level of a director only for her to enter govt and she became so loose. But thanks God for the likes of Fashola and Fayemi. I keep saying our problem lies not with the president as an individual but the system and these cancerous legislators.
