ilugunboy: It either people don't understand what sarcasm means or they just want to say something against ba7man initial sarcastic comment.

ba7man: I still can't see what fashola is doin in Lagos, the pictures are likely photoshoped. SMH for ACN propaganda. He should pay a visit to Delta state and see the great works the Governor is doin there.

taharqa: Piece of Advice: when you do not know what you are talking about, talk (or rather, write less).. Do you know what a Feasibility study entail? Which private investor wud put his money in a new railway project without an already prepard Feasibity study that wud aid his investment decisions?

geeez:


Maybe he should edit the post and tone it down a little for some people to understand.

ypzilanti: @taharqa, I have a business I want you to invest in based on Federal government feasibility study.

stevenson007:

YOU BE MALLOW O!
THE COMMERCIAL CAPITAL OF NIGERIA THAT HAS BEEN INFRASTURALLY WOUNDED, NOW SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO TREAT THE WOUND AND U ARE TALKING NONSENSE, CAN U COMPARE DELTA AND LAGOS? LAGOS IS THE SMALLEST IN TERMS OF LAND AREA AND AT THE SAME TYM IT IS ACCOMODATING THE HIGEST NUMBER OF CITIZEN OF DIS COUNTRY...........
I DNT BLAME U

edoyad: ba7man was trying to be sarcastic but to be honest the manner he expressed it could easily pass as criticism. Sarcasm usually contains a tinge of humour or the ridiculous, which were evidently absent from his post. Some Nairalanders here are known for condemning any projects executed in other states.

geeez: Even Mr. Okoro got a job there and by the time he lands Nnewi, he would have arrived

ypzilanti:

You are the one exposing your ignorance. Which private investor would bring money based on a feasibility study done by government? No effing way! You think MM2 was built based of FGs feasibility study? As a businessman, is that how you would do such business?

In any case, let them open up about the intentions so we can see. Is it government expenditure to nowhere? Is it private/public? All this feasibility study thing is another way to waste and loot public money. Two years have gone already.

ypzilanti:

Can you leave out the ethnic references? The Nnewi you refer to is an entrepreneurial hub of heavy manufacturing in Nigeria. What is good is good anywhere in Nigeria, and anywhere in the world. You are about to start a tribal war here.

naptu2: Permit me to seize this opportunity to preach (the gospel of development).

Military regimes taught us something that we need to quickly unlearn.

When a military government seizes power its first task is to demonise the previous administration in order to get some justification for seizing power.

The policies of the previous administration are abandoned, contracts are torn up and projects discontinued.

Because of this, Nigeria often takes one step forward and two steps backwards.


This project was initially conceived during the Jakande era, revived during the Tinubu era and implemented during the Fashola era.

Development projects sometimes takes years to complete. We should not accept the situation where good development projects and policies are abandoned, simply because they were initiated by a different administration.

taharqa: Oh! Lawd. Some peeps just like talking!! So you mean a Korea investor for instance, wishing to put good money into building and running a railtrack in Nigeria wud mk dat decision without some basic data? A serious businessman? I askd you b4 if you actuali knew what a Feasibility Study was? Do you know that to build a track from point A to B there are sm basic info (geographic, geological, soil mechanics, demographic, social, financial etc) that MUST be available to an investor b4 he even decides to go ahead? Do you know why we had to develop a new Cartesian Mining map of d country and a new financial template b4 serious mining companies startd tking interest in d solid mineral sector? Do you know why Lagos and Abuja are about d only places in dis country where serious real estate developers troop and where Banks hv d greatest confidence in d land titles of prospectivers borrowers? Do you know..... Abeg, i no go fit type again. But just know dis: that previous govts didnt do any Feasibility studies on any proposd track route they were often mouthing is d clearest proof (apart from d amendment of d Railways Act- which unfortunately has still not bn amendment) that they werent serious about d complete transformatn of our archaic railway system nor they entrance of serious private investors to d sector

ypzilanti: @taharqa, I have a business I want you to invest in based on Federal government feasibility study.

ypzilanti:

I repeat that no company would make an investment based on a government feasibility study. There are some things that should be in public record, which the private investors would use in their private feasibility studies, as well as other things they would have to research by themselves.
