Amaehi just FOOOOOOOOOOLED himself again BIIIIIGGGG Time! The minister of transport says N13B can buy half of Lagos, invariably Lagos as a whole is worth N26B. How naive can a Nigerian Minister be? It shows the quality of "technocrats" in Buhari's cabinet.

just shut up!

Amaechi's Argument is valid..




If the Federal Government does not pay the 13 Billion for the Land, then on what Land will the school be built?

Thanks to Kachukwu for saving the day. Some politicians fail to realize that they are elected to serve the people. The ND people are angry at this very action, yet Amechi is still trying very hard to add salt to injury. Why is he more concerned about the 13B for land when he has not accounted for the waste he incurred in River STATE Government ....

Learning how to and when to talk to your subjects is a rare gift. I must commend Kachukwu for this wisdom. I was beginning to give up on this administration. But with the latest actions by PMB for a ceasefire and Kachukwu's action here, I think we may be seeing a new leadership.

I want to employ this administration to lead the people with an open heart and purge their hearts of every prejudice. This way they can be more objective in making decisions.

Thank you again Kachukwu for saving the day.

Ameachi is just deliberately exagerating that stuff. If the land weren't paid for, then how did the already built structures of the maritime university get on that land.If the FG is serious they can easily negotiate with the indigenes of the community around the school and settle them without paying them N13b, thats if his claims are not lies.

Amaechi is a politician. Politicians work according to the dynamics in the political context within which they operate. He is trying hard to sound financially prudent and reasonable as expected by his boss; Buhari.

Kachikwu, on the other hand, is a technocrat that understands the importance of "Stakeholder Engagement", "Social Responsibility" and the pertinence of managing "Organized Complexity".

The only anomaly in the video is that "The Politician" is a Minister. Error!

Amaechi is a traitor! ND must stone him any day. Wont be too long

This is healthy! I prefer this to a government of 'yes men'. This happens in civilised economies, people from the same party can disagree on strategies, but share similar ideologies. Just yesterday, Hillary Clinton disagreed with Obama on strategies adopted for gun control. This is healthy, only wailers will see it as a crack in the wall.

That's the real Ameachi, enemy of progress.

Even though both Amaechi and Kachikwu are playing politics for different reasons, I support Amaechi in this case. Amaechi has been governor for eight years and knows what could be achieved with 13 Billion. You can't just spend 13 billion on land alone! Many communities would provide land for free (if possible) to attract federal project of this nature. So, the only motivation for paying such a huge amount is corruption. Besides, where is the wisdom in acquiring a piece of land for 13billion when such an amount could have been utilized in upgrading the institute at Oron to a full fledged university? Even if anyone intends to move forward with the university project at Okerenkoko, the land issue still needs to be sorted out. You can't just overlook such a scam (yes, a scam) and say let's move on! That's the point Amaechi was making.

This is very serious, 13 billion Naira for land alone @ how much per hectare and up to how many kilometre distance the University is expected to extend and how many trillions of Naira will now be expected to build the University?

Adminisher:


I agree. Kachiukwu is the kind of man who actually takes this project on-board like he has promised only to find out that Amechi was right all along.
I am very sure that there should be a maritime university standing now if the previous government was really serious about it. They planned to chop, chopped and abandoned the project . A project that was not done for the region when oil price was $114 a barrel won't happen when oil is down to $48 a barrel
It is a good test. Let Kachiukwu take it on-board and discover the true nature of country he belongs.

WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE?

Amaechi remains a fool, an insane man ....federal govt bought d land with structures on it,if na me 20B i for sell em... Why is hr wailing is money anything to dat which he stole from Rivers...or is money his own His own is to develop d ppty simple...

Fools are talking shamelessly on this thread.
Amaechi started by saying he isn't against the project but funds aren't available for now to continue. Besides, it's not the priority because already we have two different schools already in kaduna and Oron.
Kachukwu was the one being political. The decision of this govt remain the same and him saying he will take it up in his ministry is senseless because it hasn't been budgeted for.
Amaechi went further to request that efcc retrieved the money that has been squandered on the project already. It's on record that Tompolo duped his community on this project. Fools choose to ignore this vital point but chooses to lash on shafts.
As much as okerenkoko university is a good idea and initiative, the bitter truth is is not in the priority of this govt. Case closed.
