FEC approves N2.2bn 150-seater banquet hall for Aso Rock Villa

The federal government of Nigeria wants to spend over two billion Naira for a 150-seater banquet hall. Not a 5, 000-seater hall o, just 150 seats! Does that make sense to you guys?

Meanwhile, there's an existing banquet hall in the Villa o. This one is just to waste money and share the remaining.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Muhammed, said the proposed hall, which will be constructed by Julius Berger, will have walk ways, security post, hall conveniences, technical room and press briefing room. For N2.2bn?

Isn't there a way civil societies in Nigeria can stop all these unnecessarily spending by taking the federal government to court? Isn't there a way, we as citizens, can check our government?

 

well, the only thing i'll say to this is my favorite quote, which is: 'There is a God and he his a God of Justice' u all can enjoy ur greedy life while it last

There's an Aluu4 movie in the making and it's being produced by Simony Productions, the Idumota marketers that brought you Blackberry Babes.

I hear the movie will be titled Aluu4. I kinda have my reservations about this movie...mostly because it's being produced by Idumota Marketers who only care about making money and not necessarily as a tribute to the memory of the young men who lost their lives on October 5th. And I'm almost sure no one from the production team contacted the family members of the murdered boys, or even visited the Omoikiri community in Aluu where these killings occurred...and they probably didn't interview anyone directly involved in the case, including the police, to get an insight to what really happened that Friday morning.

I don't know what you think of this but i think this will only bring more pain to the Heart of the victims loved ones.......can Nigerians please stop been self centered an for once think of others, hun? I mean how can you decide to make money out of a wound that is yet to heal? why don't you just let it die, let the families and friends of these victims try to forget this incident even though i know that'll be impossible but bringing it up all over again and selling it to people to remember that unfaithful incident i think is selfish and absurd......for once do something i always pray for; THINK WITH YOUR SIXTH SENCE and ACT WISELY and brilliantly and faithfully and fear of God-ly, u know..........in my own opinion i think and repeat making money out of a painful and still very fresh incidents is just some *bullshit*.... u are welcome to drop your opinion....
