[size=14pt]Commotion in House over N6bn SIM CardsBudget[/size]

A fresh commotion erupted on the floor of the House of Representatives yesterday following allegations that the passage of the 2010 Budget of the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) was secretly done.

This came on the heels of the purported adoption by the House last Thursday of the Conference Report on the N69.3 billion budget of the regulatory agency. The said budget included the controversial N6.1 billion proposed to be expended on the registration of SIM cards of mobile phone subscribers in the country.

Trouble started when the Chairman, House Committee on Drugs, Narcotics and Financial Crimes, Hon. Rabe Nasir (PDP Katsina), raised a point of order and proposed a motion bordering on a matter of privilege.

Nasir expressed surprise and disappointment that the harmonised version of the budget was adopted along with the N6.1 billion in spite of the controversies trailing that particular item of the budget.

At the last deliberation on the NCC budget, Nasir recalled, the House set up an ad hoc committee headed by Hon. Ehiogie West Idahosa to examine the complaints of members on the budget and advise the House on the next line of action.
Nasir alleged that the Conference Report on the budget was smuggled back into the House and adopted without the input of the ad hoc committee which he is a member.

According to him, this action was an infringement of his rights and privileges as a member of the House.
However, the Chairman, House Committee on Rules and Business, Hon. Ita Enang, explained that the House adopted the budget following a report from the ad hoc committee mandating the House to do so.

Sensing that he had been rigged out of the game, Nasir renewed his protest and urged the House to revisit the manner in which such a contentious matter was passed.

Speaker of the House, Hon. Dimeji Bankole, who presided at the session, said legislators should always endeavour to be present in plenary to contribute to debates on critical issues rather than crying over spilt milk.

Although, Nasir’s motion attracted a lot of support from other lawmakers, Bankole ruled him out of order on the premise that the decision of the House on the matter could not be reversed as long as it was adopted in plenary.

This did not go down well with a cross section of the lawmakers who had over the past four months kicked against the inclusion of the N6.1 billion in the NCC budget.

But as if the quashing of Nasir’s motion was not enough, Bankole who was already in a furious mood over the lingering controversy, hurriedly vacated his seat for his Deputy, Hon. Usman Bayero Nafada, and began to make his way out of the chamber in hurried steps.

This action immediately ignited a negative reaction as a number of lawmakers also attempted to stage a walkout in protest.

I say the masses should revolt against these useless criminals;useless to the nation and only useful to their bellies

Whether he got the percentage right or not,at least we've all known all along that a monstrous chunk of our budget is being shared and eaten in the senate and house of reps,now that Sanusi has jolted them and woken us all from our slumber to examine the criminal appropriations by those greedy leeches in the national assembly,the whole nation;civil society groups,labour,military and paramilitary should rise up and challlenge them till they reduce their greedy criminal pays.That reminds me,I wonder why that busy body pastor Tunde Bakare has not said anything about this topic

Nigerians,arise and stop these criminals

And to further add to it:

Here is Arsene Wenger 3 weeks ago talking about Aaron Ramsey

With this in minde,all those who used to lambast Le Prof for his oft touted"I didn't see it" mantra are mischievous as the man was just saying he saw it,since with him in most cases,the opposite is the case

What happened?

@ OP

Could you please stick with the message,you've trivialised it with your anti-Ibo rhetorics

^^^
Now this is very dissppointing

About time they stiched up his pro-gay,pro-stem cell and almost anti-Israeli lips

^^^^

Your pictures dont mean shyte
the whole world saw the live picture of Maradona and Thierry Henry with their hands of god,we saw Suarez use his hands to stop Ghana in WOZA,who cares about pictures.At WOZA,the ref red-carded Suarez and that was the end of Solomon Grundy,at Amsterdam,the ref red-carded Ramos and Alonso,that too should be the end of Solomon Grundy,UEFA should stop boring us with this poorly veiled attempt to wictch-hunt Mourinho,cos it's a failed prohect already

pro01:
Says who? Is there a source for this wild allegation, or is it just another untruth that is repeated so often that it assumes the status of truth?

A man has several wives and concubines (including a certain Genevievy actress, allegedly) and yet you so magisterially declare him gay? Please define 'gay' for us.

. . .And as for him wanting financial 'rehabilitation', I know that must be a big joke. Your entire village and mine put together may never make as much money as this man is worth in our entire lives.

E dey pain youAtiku is GAY,you can go jump in the lagoon for all I care.If I'd said bi-sexual,it wouldn't achieve the contextual import I intended it to,but seeing you're taking it personal,Atiku is GAY
Oh,and since you sound like a broke-a$$ nigga,why not speak for yourself alone

[size=24pt]Where again is the Edo line thread[/size]??

Beaf:
Its funny the way a simple statement like "I de laugh!" can make a would be president like Atiku resort to gutter behaviour!

Why should it be funny.Atiku's has no integrity,no high morals,he's gay and he's desperate for financial and political rehabilitition.

Who cares what the thief from Jada,Adamawa state has to say
This is copy right infringement of the highest order,in any way,it packs no punch.
OBJ's mockery of Atiku was classic.

Infact,I still dey laugh oooooo

Atiku wouldn't even emerge the consensus presidential aspirant of Adamawa,talk more of the entire North
His delusion that he actually stands a chance of emerging PDP presidential candidate for 2011 is amazing

I'm a virgin husband

Bad market.
If he leaves PDP,where will he go to

Be clean,cook well,be smart,respect him(keep that legendary razor sharp tongue of a woman in check)

Again the bufoons in the national assembly have shown us how clueless and jobles they are.F.O.O.L.S

He's a master strategist.If he did,he needs to be commended as a soccer Cicero
All y'all ranting blah blah about footie being about fair play,tell me what could be fairer(to Ajax) than giving your opponents a 2-man advantage,at least they should've utilised it

Oh please don't tell me any bullcrap conspiracy theory of doing it to get their group stage suspensions outta the way as the UCL moves into the knock-out stages,just DONT

JM is genius

Hmm hmmmm hmmmm
Hums away

Learnt Villa will play Gabby Agbonlahor as the lone striker,they do that,then we get the 3 points

Hi all Celts fans

Surely,Real is winning this one.Ronaldo will show why he is the best player in the world,just waiting to be re-crowned

Like tkb said,what a thief

This is the reason I really hate delays in the administration of justice,if this thief had been arrested by EFCC he would've been cooling his heels in kirikiri or kaduna prisons awaiting sentencing for grand larceny,soliciting for bribe and r.ap.e of NSC,NFA,NFF and CAF treasuries

I.DIO.T

Atiku should be in jail already
Stewpid,corrupt,thieving,sceming,treacherous,desperate homo

I spit on you,esshole

Well here is a rebuttal;
