danny301: When some of you keep on saying you don't know why the NASS wants Oteh sacked it shows our level of insincerity in this country...... The NASS stated clearly that the Director of SEC is suppose to have 15 years working experience in the financial institution and that Oteh has just 10 years experience and as far as i know nobody has disputed that constructively yet,instead all we hear is people calling the NASS all sorts of names........... Am not for the the NASS per-say neither do i have anything against the person of Oteh but i feel no single individual is worth causing disharmony btw the legislative and the executive arms of govt to the detriment of all Nigerians..... If Oteh is the only problem btw Mr. President and and the NASS then it's a only wise for the later to redeploy her, that's maturity and not weakness,after all i didn't see any special thing happening under Oteh' s leadership in SEC that cannot happen under some else.

naptu2: Hmph! We seem to be going down the wrong road again. This isn't about comparison. It's about what works best for everyone and what is the best practice and how we can curb abuse of the system.

Gbawe: No. You should get your facts right before sycophantically defending one of the most callously wasteful President in the World who heads a Nation home to some of the most poverty-stricken worldwide. All of you holding brief for this wasteful President, a throwback to the dark days of wanton profligacy, simply have no shame. Jonathan's profligate mien is not at all consonant with his status as President of a Nation were it is claimed that many live on less than a dollar a day. Some of you should speak the truth and shame the devil sometimes.

oyb: See me thinking I would see pix of workmen clearing bushes

Feasibility studies equals begins work - only in the lala land of the gej administration and their muppets

Feasibilty studies are just that - to determine is a project is feasible/ practical - this addresses all sorts of challenges - funding, engineering, environmental, govt policies, social, security. Which is why some projects die at proposal stage


If they are favorable, design, review, vendor prequalification, bidding , contract award have to be done before mobilzation to site

Long and short of it "work" may not begin for another two years

Just another bizarre and typical attempt from team gej's gang of illiterates

Yomieluv: Seems these people are kind of in a cult,they can't probe each other at all.
This woman ought to be in prison,wonder why she can't spend xmas in kiriki.

afam4eva: What's really the problem the reps have with this woman. Is it because she exposed Hembe?

ypzilanti: Kudos for the rehabilitation of Lagos-Kano. You are fully aware that it was also a government that BUILT the tracks, right?

Every government that comes to power does 'some things'. Abi will you seat there for four years and not have a single achievement to your name?

Can you explain the abandonment of the east-west road? So it is railway that the government will now build?

Let us talk about sustainability here. The rehabilitated Kano-Lagos rail is going to fall apart in a couple of years. Why? because it is being run by corrupt civil servants. They should have rehabilitated and concessioned the thing.

Anyways, I have seen development with my two eyes on this planet. I will not count what should be routine rehabilitation of already constructed structures as anything to crow about.

taharqa: @OP, piece of advice: if you do not want yr azzz beaten so thoroughly u wud wish u weren't seeing 'those' beautiful stars Or u do not want a bullet lodged at d back of yr neck, THEN STEER CLEAR OF ALL ROUTES THE PRESIDENT WUD BE TAKEN TODAY. I hear from a very reliable 'source' that his Security details tk his safety very seriously, and that they wud rather gladly 'apologize' to you than to d nation (if u know what i mean). They DONT miss, and am mighty glad bout that... Merry xmas

danny301: May be you just woke up from sleep or you are just playing to the gallery...... I found it strange that you are asking of which budget has a component of 14 billion for the vp's resisdence....... I do not know how to begin to answer you because that the contract of the vp's residence was included in the budget was not in doubt either by the presidency or anybody for that matter.... The bone of contention here is that the 9 billion has been added to the original 7 billion that was earmarked for the project in 2009 and the senate feels the 9 billion is too prodigious, so i don't what is hard for you to understand here.

henrysam: You are wrong brother on this issue, this is how it is. 7b was approved during yaradua's tenure as president for the construction of vp house, the money was budgeted for. When senate committee on Federal capital territory was performing their oversight function they found out that the project have not been completed. Smart Adeyemi asked the minister why it has not been completed the minister had to. Beckoned to the FCDA secretary and then announced another 9b will be needed to complete the project because they need to put funiture, security and other things. That was when Smart raised alarm. This is the real story I don't know what concerns Gej on this issue. But they say unesy lies the head that wears the crown.

0lumide: NOO!! GEJ is scared of a coup!

If senior officers carry out a coup, it will be really deadly because they will have no shared authority shared with anyone outside the coup meaning totalitarian power.

But GEJ's intention is just simply being scared of a coup! He knows his administration is really bad and a coup is bound to happen. But retiring generals won't stop them from planning a coup through their loyals in the military!

demmy: I don't know why you're giving kudos to GEJ for "restoring rail transport". GEJ restored nothing. This project was awarded by OBJ and then canceled and reawarded by Yar'Adua.

chiefarian47: GEJ and the woman in the ministry of finace approved these huge amount of money to build Sambo's residence and this is a

country that produces nt less than 40,000 graduate without job .it means they don't have plans for the country.Am sure

16billion will service as many graduate as possible bt instead the VP that has begin sleeping on the str of Abj

should use that to build the resident that will nolonger b in use wen his leaving the office come 2015 wen GEJ will

b leaving by Gods grace and another VP wil den build wit possibly 30billion.Naija has no future dat i knw.

UNEMPLOYED GRADUATE wer r u?

danny301: Is something wrong with your brain?.... If the President does does not much about the 16 billion Sambo's residence as you as saying who then submitted the budget to the National Assembly? If the president could claim to be unaware of the details of the vice president's residence amounting to whopping sum of 16 billion naira then he can as well deny knowing something about the entire budget one day.

sanusi muslim: I don't have any thing to say again but what I believe is that both Mr Gej,the senate and Mr sambo are all foolish and basterd people of nigerian. I believe if Yaradua is alife he would never tolerate this kind of corruption and selfishness people calling them self our leaders. Olori buruku ni gbogbo won. God will punished them

ypzilanti: It seems that the chief executive position in Nigeria (the Presidency) is the only job in the world where you can sign for money and claim not to know about it later?

@sincerenigerian should please tell us if he would take that excuse from a man he hired to oversee his family company.

onatisi: i think you are wrong in this area, the fg prepares the budgets ,the presidents present the budget to the senate and reps for debate and approval , it is after this the amended budget proposal is not sent back to the president to sign which then makes it legal , so gej must have had time to deliberate about this 16billion naira project for his vp.what must have happened was that they wold have thought that Nigerians wont react the way they are reacting

alj harem: can you be more intelligent

So which account does this debt go to ? Sambo or Nigeria ? Does Sambo have 16 billion naira and even if he does, would he use it on just one house ?

So my brother 16 billion on house for vp is not too much

IYA NGBALI: pls stop covering up what is not coverable,he is the president for crying out loud and if you do not know,the bulk stops on his table,I hope you know what that means?

alj harem: yes it is in the NATIONAL BUDGET and that is for furnitures

Sincere 9gerian: Since 1999? Despite the fact that Jakande actually started the this project in early 80's? Even the Abuja-Kaduna standard guage rail line(a far bigger project) started by the FG in 2009/10 is nearing 50% completion. What do Lagos state govt do with their funds of nearly N30billion monthly? I dont just get it. Where is the power plant that Tinubu claimed he was building in his tenure? Pls some of us who do not reside in Lagos need clarification.

koruji: Cover your face in shame!
It was the presidents budget. If his VP is including a N9 billion budget for furniture etc then he was supposed to know. That he didn't know was a sign of his powerlessness not a valid excuse.

DaVinChiSam: Abeg I deY pack go Kebbi make I go start my bleeping campaign for there

coded guy: How old are you? Have you finished secondary sch? Let me agree you shortened liquified petroleum gas to liquified gas. I purposely emphasized on the PETROLEUM which u left out of your definition of LPG to make you realise that the word petroleum in the meaning of LPG makes the connection between refineries and LPG possible. Yet you did not get it.

Your silly question was "what's the connection with refineries and LPG" refineries process crude oil and in the process other products are gotten eg diesel, kerosene, LPG etc that's the connection between refineries and LPG. Haven't you heard of gas flaring before?

You have access to the internet yet u don't know how to use it, why don't you google you silly question and read up.
