[quote author=Truthisunique2 post=111754764]there was never a project executed by amaechi in this government that isn't a success

Osinbajo that buhari gave the economic team to manage before their tenure expires he should come and tell us how far he has used this so called meticulous nature of his to checkmate the fraud that the minister of finance, cbn governor, nnpc have been committing under his watch that economy has nose dived

For the records, Osinbajo stopped being the head of the economic management team since 2019. The Economic Advisory Committee headed by Prof Doyin Salami with Solido and others as members replaced the economic management team.

See link for more details:

Don't be deceived osinbajo is traitor looking for glory, their is hardly any project that have not gone in this administration the same way the one he is criticising went

A lot of projects might have followed the same similar pattern to the one he shot down but I understand his limitations when Buhari presides and allow proposals that he (Osinbajo) might have not allowed if he was the one that presided over FEC.

Between him and the buhari he wants to blackmail we know who Nigerians voted for as

Nigerians voted for Buhari on the basis of his supposed integrity but thank God that he ruled and we can see how far his integrity has taken the country.

Besides I don't see how declining approval for a contract amounts to Osinbajo blackmailing Buhari except if you have other information about this contract that I am not privy to.

Truthisunique2:
there was no valid reason, osinbajo was playing politics because na how to derail amaechi selling point in the rail sector was his objective to help his own ambition

Same committee looked into it before buhari signed it

All in the name of politics, you go about spewing inanities! It is pathetic how low you guys can go!

FEC asked very germane questions and those questions are still valid till date:

1. Why award a rail track surveillance contract to a company without proven record in that specialized field?

2. Why award a contract worth above 3 billion Naira to a company whose annual turnover is less than 100 million Naira?

3. Why award such a contract without a public tender and no public advert for invitation to bid?

4. Why award such a contract to a company that was incorporated less than 2 years before the award of contract?

5. Why award such a contract with a 100% down payment?

Even though, I have been an admirer of Amaechi since his days in governance in Rivers state, he lost me on this one and the FEC presided by Prof was right to have thrown this contract out.

Buhari can go on signing anything and everything if he likes. At least, we have seen the effects of all his approvals for military expenditures: more people are being killed daily!

bennybuhari:
They are still bitter because he sacked Mamman Daura as DSS DG

And because he confirmed the appointment of Onnoghen as the CJN

This crop of leaders do not inspire hope. What are the achievements of these people in the various states they governed. Yes, Buhari has not lived to expectations and has failed the masses but these guys here, hell no!

Favour70000:
Then where's the place for opportunity. Why are Nigerians complaining of China running the rail when Nigerians companies are there. Gee nothing is bad if ur first job is in billions. And the company was cleared bro and he stopped it. Now do we like the outcome?

Comments like this are very injurious to the well being of this country. It is bad if your first contract job is in billions especially when there is no record of you handling a similar project in a specialized field.

This is the very reason why we have so many poorly executed jobs.

zicoraads:
I am not doubting that Ameachi made a request that was turned down. What I am doubting is this news report.

I know the minister and I know he is stubborn and forceful. Do you really think the VP alone is capable of stopping a contract that Ameachi really wanted? Ameachi that removed an NPA MD by going directly to the president, a woman who was an ally of El-Rufai?

God bless you for this piece.

CorperKola:
The person that asked this is very stupid and he must think everyone is stupid like him. Even a low level branch manager will ask for brand of a purchased equipment worth 100k let alone almost 4 billion

Very apt! A generic solution would not suffice in the circumstance and asking about the brand was cool, at least that would have afforded the council members to double check by googling the brand. And we are talking 3+ billion here.

This shows that most requests are not vetted by the council because the scenario painted here should be routine practice.

Esseite:
Why didnt Osibanjo ask that another company with a stronger balanace sheet and history be forwarded?

Whenever you go to defend a budget and it is turned down with queries, it is the responsibility of the sponsor to represent with clarifications where needed.

As much as I liked Amaechi, he scored a low on this because he had several opportunities to re-present his proposal to council even many times that PMB presided afterwards.

Shikena:
Is it really the president that should discover that?

Unfortunately, the buck stops at his stable and he was the one that was elected by the people. The service chiefs serve at the pleasure of the President, so if they fail to do their bit and he refuses to relieve them and appoint people who can do their jobs effectively, who do you blame?

Very anyhow somebody. Did he just discover the importance of surveillance of critical national assets?! Is it not too late in the day?

godofuck231:
where was his father when he started exhibition of tendencies to be a robber , em de beer parlour ?

Very good question. I don't where the father was but he was at the same place when the girls were turning out good. Na that son now, na hin be the cause of the father's hypertension and not the girls. Infact, if not for the girls the man would have been dead long before now.

00FFT00:
Interestingly, Nigerians in the diaspora are doing exceedingly well in all these disciplines. But the same people somehow become incompetent or unusable at home. That begs the question, what gives?.

You can adduce several reasons for Nigerians succeeding abroad better than they do at home:

1. The environment is toxic and there is no celebration of cerebral efforts, hence the people are not motivated to excel except for few cases where the individuals are intrinsically motivated. Add to that, the mismatch between renumeration and efforts for civil servants. Politicians make the cash while the civil servants do the work!

2. The educational curriculum and teaching methodologies do not help one bit

These are some of the reasons.

godofuck231:
most of the girls into prostitution either had no fathers when growing or their fathers didnt impact on their lives

So what happened to the boys that became kidnappers, armed robbers and the rest. I want a son I want a son na hin make person papa go born thief, meanwhile all the sisters are doing well except for him.

Investigative:
SW bmc are so @vil
Imagine the dude claiming

It was very insensitive of the guy asking stupidly "Are you dead now?" Where is our humanity for crying out loud! May the souls of Chinelo and others rest in peace. It could have been anyone.

Otuegbe:
Buhari is handling this Fulani terrorists with kid gloves.
Tinubu is coming and he will talk to them in the language they Will understand

President Buhari has failed the masses woefully with the insecurity that has enveloped the land. I earnestly look forward to when he would leave office at the expiration of his tenure. Haba!

Rip to Dr Chinelo and others that died needlessly and may the bandits come to a sad end.

Springboot:
While others are only on nairaland to insult each other and engage in tribal wars.

Congratulations

Better leave those ones. Some of them who actually need help will be insulting their uncle's and father's age mates who can help them.

anonimi:
Clowns in the presidency and confusion in Aso Rock?
Sorry for your loss o.
Let Thiefnuibu keep spending the looted money of Lagosians, Abiola's end will be a child's play to his.

Please do not deride the late M.K.O, put some respect to that name. Despite his shortcomings as any other human, he paid the supreme price as a prelude to the democracy you and I enjoy today. It is to his credit that Presidency was zoned to the South in 1999 and that led to a minority President in the person of GEJ.

truthCoder:
You write well (compared to the average Nigerian of today’s educational process)

Consider taking some online lessons on fiction writing and possibly start writing.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the fluidity of his writing. The question is, how on earth did he end up as a bike man? At OP please don't let the Nigerian system bury your talent!

Techsupport:
Thanks. I hope I do... Pay off my kids college tuition.

That sounds good.

Techsupport:
I only go to goodwill when I want to hustle. I find ones in really rich neighborhood, with any luck, I can pick up a 2 million dollar Rembrandt painting for $25.99

FYI, that luck has not worked yet

Lol. Keep trying, you never can tell. You will strike gold soon. Keep it real bro.

MALIGNANTGuest:
I wonder how people still use cars to measure success. We need do away with all these.
U go see OYIBO wey don get money scatter....
But he rides Bicycle to work because Wealthy lifestyle don tire am too. Everyday car, Office.
No Natural Life again

The concept of having a good quality of life seems to be lost on Africans and that is why they measure success by the number of material things they can possess. This phenomenon explains the grab grab mentality that has possessed most Nigerians.

larrypourl:
Brings memory of Chinese Village in Lagos when it was in full operation years ago.

Funny enough, there are some places akin to Chinese towns too in some cities in the U.S

Techsupport:
This is swap meet. There is one on Highway 6 and Bissonet for my East Texas hustlers.

I prefer Goodwill stores for my deals, especially the one around Davis campus of University of California.

Soulsymbol99:
Wike will not like this

In short, I would like to see Amaechi squaring up to Wike. It would be fun to see Wike as PDP's flagbearer against Amaechi from APC. Even though that possibility is very slim, the contest would have been fun.

engrelvis:
Honestly I dnt understand their issue of kidney n liver wahala.ls their something we r missing?

Unfortunately, one of the major causes of kidney diseases is high blood pressure and high b.p is very prevalent in Nigeria these days.

Uncle96:
That is so unfortunate because it just put u in a weak and vulnerable position. You literally used ur hand to put ur woman' in another mans hand

My brother I don't think there is anything pathetic about this saga if it truly happened the way the op explained.

No man should loose sleep over a woman who chooses to fool around when they are not married. She might just have assisted the young man to dodge a bullet.

Eriokanmi:
They only visit him when they want to use hum and dump him once they have their way. Tinubu is the reason other tribes she abusing us.

With or without Tinubu any tribe that wants to hate your tribe will hate your tribe. I may not like Tinubu but he has not committed any crime worse than his fellow politicians, so I ask myself why single him out for hate? Many people might want to adduce reasons like "he brought Buhari and APC" but he didn't do it alone.

Agbegbaorogboye:
You seem to know a lot more than the ordinary

In saner climes, that guy you quoted will be invited for questioning by security operatives because he looks like he has some actionable intelligence

Peppysco:
' Be guilded', that's enough indication that you're not Yoruba.

Lol. Like seriously, anything worth doing at all is worth doing well. Even, if he wanted to play the tribal card, he could have done it well.

Gavel:
Thank you. I'm 15 years at the bar and I founded my Law Firm, Apex Chambers, a Property and Commercial Law Firm based in Port Harcourt. Thanks for your concern all the same

Congrats bro and more power to your elbow! And great response as usual to that troll. Keep winning.

illicit:
They started younger

Nobody is preventing the youths from contesting. For the records, the demographics favor them and as such it should not be difficult but it appears as if there is no consensus even among the youths on issues like youths occupying elective offices. The failure of the youths to capture political power can only be premised upon the following assumptions:

1. That the youths do not trust other youths enough to vote them into offices

2. That the youths are unable to organise themselves into formidable political forces

Either of these assumptions does not tell well on our youths.

Rugaria:
No nation built on nepotism and sectionalism archives her full potential. Infact most promising states around the globe have imploded in the past, under the enermous weight of their iniquitous history full of tribalism, favouritism and grand injustices. This is so, because for the people of any given country to come together and galvanize their collective abilities towards modernizing their state, there must exist a sense of nationalism, patriotism and a common purpose. This can't happen when it has become a government policy to marginalize, antagonize and deprive a certain section that contributes immensely towards the economic growth of the country, her fare share of national projects and recognitions..

A case in point here is the over dramatized Second Niger bridge. In the history of this eternally convulsing amalgam, no project has been so dramatized, so politicized and so unashamedly utilized as a political football by the close minded political class in Abuja, at the detriment of the welfare and greater economic activities in the South East and the South South regions. The drama started way back during the military era, when the aging bridge built by the then Eastern government in the 50s, started to show signs of wear and tear. This bridge was bombed during the Nigeria - Biafra war and was extensively damaged as a result of the endless skirmishes there. For a long time, the bridge has been the only shaky link between the former Eastern Nigeria and the rest of the country. With the economic activities going on in such wonderful places like Onitsha, Aba, Port Harcourt, Owerri and the rest, the enermous economic importance/impact of this bridge can not be over emphasized..

It's against this backdrop, that one is overwhelmingly alarmed at the disdain with which the federal government has carried on with this project over the years.
"Fellow Nigerians", Is this fair??


Below is The Muhammadu Buhari Toll gates at the yet to be commissioned second Niger bridge:

I urge all Igbo men of good conscience with other Nigerians with any sense of justice and fairness to speak against the tolling of the 2nd Niger bridge. It reeks of insensitivity to not toll other FG roads and bridges in other regions while doing the opposite in Igbo land.
