Villa Zoo: Jonathan Budgets Millions Of Naira For Animals by DonColz1(m): 1:19am On Dec 24, 2013
The Presidency will next year spend N34.5m on two wild animals for the State House Zoo and car trackers for presidential ground fleet as well as utility vehicles.
Out of the sum, N14.5m was set aside in the 2014 budget as the cost of the two animals whose names were not given and N20m for the trackers.
Extra N2m is expected to be expended on two fleet tracking base stations.
These are contained in the details of the Appropriation bill presented by President Goodluck Jonathan through the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to the National Assembly last week.
Also contained in the plan is the sum of N50m for the improvement of electrical installations inside the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Apart from the amount earmarked for the animals, N8m is budgeted for the upgrading and maintenance of the State House zoo. The renovation of the horses’ stables/paddock for the zoo will gulp N15m.
About N5m will also be spent on the purchase of wildlife capture equipment.
The N50m was appropriated at a time work is already ongoing on new N2.2bn banquet hall approved for the Villa by the Federal Executive Council in November 2012.
The electrification project was however marked “ongoing” in the budget details to give an indication that work had already started and would be completed under the new budget.
Projects that will be carried out in the State House Medical Centre in the new year include the building and installation of oxygen/other gases generating plant at N70m; construction of VIP Wing -N1.3bn; completion of extension of Dental Wing, N50m; construction of central sterilising building,N50m and the provision of MRI building and mortuary conversion at the cost of N17.5m.
An X-ray machine will be purchased at a cost of N35m; mammography machine, N60m; embalming machine, N1.65m and hydraulic post-mortem table,N4m.
The purchase of sports kits for the State House Sports Club will gulp N4. 2m.
The remodeling of the new Vice-President’s Guest House at 1, Yakubu Gowon, Crescent, Asokoro will gulp N215m; completion and rehabilitation of security quarters at Mpape Artillery and Asokoro, N30m; rehabilitation of Presidential/ministerial chalet at Airport, Abuja, N10m; and the rehabilitation of medical centre’s service quarters, N50m.

Later Jonathan would say that Nigeria has no money.
But see the way he is wasting the money.
The medical doctors are on strike, instead of him to pay them the money so that people would stop dying, he is trying to save the animals, is animals more important than human beings

Not so fast, even the Obamas' dog Bo costs the taxpayer thousands of dollars - his handler is reportedly paid over $100,000 a year.

1. Quoting the most powerful and richest country in the world against your country where millions of your people live on less than a dollar a day sounds dumb, thoughtless, mindless, clueless and reetarded.

2. Quoting the most powerful and richest country in the world against your country where the joker you call president refused to spend 1 kobo on your 2nd Niger bridge, but budgets millions for animals and their upkeep sounds dumb, thoughtless, mindless, clueless and reetarded.

Niger bridge makes me cry –Kalu

Few weeks to Yuletide, former Abia State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is disturbed that respite may yet come as travellers continue to use the lone Niger Bridge in Onitsha. Kalu said: “I am really emotional about this. I feel the pains of millions of Nigerians from the South-East to the North-Central,f rom Ikot Ekpene to Opobo. Going home in December is worse than spending 48 hours in Kirikiri Maximum Prisons.”

The former governor, who plied that route in 2012 bewailed the slow take-off facing the second bridge while condemning past administrations for using it as part of the ‘dividends’ of the Civil War.

“Yes, we are now talking of the Second Bridge 43 years after the war. In the American State of Maryland, there is a city called Sandy Point with the William Lane Jnr. Memorial Bridge. The first one was built in 1952. When congestion set in, a second Bridge came up in 1973. That is government in action.

Work on the Niger Bridge began in 1964 by French contractors Dumez. It took five million pounds to complete it in December 1965. The same year as Bendorf Bridge on the Rhine, Germany and the same month as Oosterscheldebrug that links Flushing to Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

“The Second Bridge will not cost as much as Istanbul’s Bosporus, the link between Europe and Asia. It cannot be as long as Europe’s longest, the 19,822 feet Oland Island Bridge in Sweden. I just pray this job gets started in 2014 as promised,” Kalu stated.

The former governor called on the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to deploy a deputy corps marshal to the Asaba end of the Bridge beginning from December 10.

“I overheard one family talking of travelling by rail through the North to avoid the bedlam. Another is considering the road route through Okene-Lokoja from Lagos. And these are families who live in Ijesha-tedo. The kids cannot understand why there are three long bridges between Lagos Island and the Mainland while their parents do Christmas arithmetic with the Niger Bridge,” Kalu said.

Can you tell me one thing GEJ have done that escaped your criticism and backlash?

I would have taken you serious to debate the merits and demerits of the provision under discussion, the significance and it's worldwide acceptability.

However, its obvious your cynicism and that of your boss frustrated sycophants wouldn't allowed for intelligent deliberations hence my desire to set you aside as a reprobate and not dignify you with further response.
