They should do something about the single rail line running through Oshodi-Agege route.

It took GEJ 2 years to complete the Complex Abuja - kaduna High speed rail line with multiple state of the art train stations along the route!

It took 2 years to revive a comatose rail system bringing back the kano Lagos line which for over 18 years have been in non existent 
The Enugu mass transit city rail system and the Enugu- Port harcourt rail line is up and fully delivering the desired dividends to Nigerians 


Now compare with this 


Buhari cancelled the lagos rail system initiated by Jakande a system that would have solved the grid lock issues of Lagos, today lagosians are still paying for that for the sins of semi literate cattle herder 

Fashola 

He seats on the largest IGR in Nigeria netting over 12 Billion excluding VAT and FGN allocation! 

He has been constructing an intercity  metro rail project for  8 good years, despite his visit to some tokunbo trains in Canada, there is still no sign of his trains 


Amaechi 

Here comes to foolish one, this one has a non functional grey matter he has liquidated Rivers state in search of non existent positions, till date he has spent Billions on a1 KM  metro rail project that is not going anywhere leaving port harcourt in shambles 

Yet this folks go around telling people not vote Jonathan! 


May God Help us to vote wisely 



Abacha started this project(if you are not too lazy,do your research).After claiming APC projects,PDP are now claiming a dead man's achievement.

Like Judas they have collected the soul damning piece of silver and are out to betray themselves, their family, the nation and their motherland just for peanuts that will soon prove bitter. Cursed is he who calls evil good (Holy scriptures).

Anyway, All i Know is that we need a change. President GEJ is corrupt and is also surrounded by highly corrupt people. Too many corrupt acts have gone unpunished, no respect for the rule of law, everybody (highly placed) does whatever he wants at any time. (good or bad). I refuse to be deceived....... WE NEED FRESH AIR.

One more thing, he should make sure he connect rail tracks from Abuja to Otuoke cheesy

Please everyone should Google WEEKLY TRUST of 31st MAY,2014,for the full story of our railway.
These guys have nothing to showcase as their achievements so they turn to half truths and outright lies.

Or simply Google 'Abacha and railway',you will find the article there.

Typical nigerian mentality.
When you can't impregnate your wife, blame it on govt.
When you can't provide food for your family, blame it on Gej.
When your father is uselessly lazy to work hard like the Dangote's and co who build wealth for their generation, you blame it on Gej.
When you couldn't tidy up your dirty environment and you got malaria, you blame it on GEJ.

Buhari has all our votes. U all know this. Sai buhari!!! Is railway d major problem of nigeria? Do u knw hw many pple generator fumes hv killed as result of lack of electricity?

Whether you choose to accept it or not, reality is that over 90 percent of the population have to be flogged into discipline. i can live with that fact.

It's a very big shame you believe at this stage of your life you have to be flogged to behave correctly as an adult in 2014. It tells a lot about your person. SMH seriously for your retrogressive way of reasoning. A very big shame indeed.

That's your opportunity cost right there.

Just the first project I saw on your link and I knew you were ignorant.

Saudi Arabia with a population of just 28 million has oil and gas reserves 10 times the size of Nigeria's (pop, 170 million) and she exports 9 million barrels of oil per day, compared to Nigeria's 2 million barrels.

How then can you say they have ''similar income''? How can they have similar priorities?

That Saudi airport cost $7.2 billion. That's roughly a quarter of our annual budget you're saying we should use to build one airport!

well most of you are under 18 and depend on ur parents for life and you don't know what they go through on a daily basis just to provide for you..
you don't know how dey get fuel for you.
You don't know how hard dey pray just for your protection
you don't know how hard they work just to provide for you.
you don't even know how hard they have to fight other people just for the sake of their family..

I believe if u were directly involved you will have a rthink.

If you dedicate all this your book of lamentation on GeJ, then what is the duty of the member of the house of assembly in your ward?,
the federal representative of your senetorial district who gets millions of naira allocation to cater for your district?.
The Oba of your town who claims to be king of your area? And finally,
The Governor whom you elected with your thumb to govern the state where you live in?.
If your book of lamentation omitted the names of those people and you expect Gej who stays in Abuja to come to your street to provide security?, then you are the baddest Ediot ever liveth

The interior looks ok. I hope it's not the train that takes over 20 hours to get to Kano from Lagos.

For those arguing for HSR, HSR can only be used on high-yield routes which can guarantee a corresponding ROI. HSR is very expensive to set up, and cannot be reasonably deployed in all nooks and crannies of the country.

You're really dumb with this logic.

So while Saudi will efficiently use $7.2Billion to build a world class airport your GEJ Gov't has admitted it can't account for at least $10Billion.

Yet you're talking about population and budget even buttressing my point. If Nigeria is poorer and has more population shouldn't we be more prudent with our resources?

Ignorance. SMH

I don't know if its just me, but I noticed that APC supporters on NL avoid threads that depict good works from govt, but feast on any perceived negatives on the path of govt.

Opposition does not mean being enemy to progress, but providing alternative ideas to policies they disagree with. opposition doesn't have to wait till it gets into govt to effect changes, it lobbies to get its point of view to sell. Good a thing, APC has majority in the lower chamber, so what change has those thieves wrought to convince us that APC is better?

Honestly, we need to re-examine the kind of politics we play in this land.

That's where the "change party" is failing it. Always shouting corruption and insecurity.Who amongs them can come out clean of corruption? Though the insecurity has some ideological tone of a sect, it also has a political affiliate.
Anyway, as many as have refused to acknowledge that some good things are popping up from this administration, let them not feel bad if anyone fails to acknowledge theirs.

GEJ ''admitted'' that in your drunken hallucinations. BTW, do you know just how much the Saudi sheikhs embezzle every year? Go to London, Paris and Switzerland and see how they've colonized the choicest areas and live in grand palaces like no other. The only thing saving the Saudis is they only have 28 million mouths to feed, yet earn 10 times more than Nigeria does. Their elite can afford to embezzle multi-billions and still provide basic services and ''world class airport'' etc for their tiny population. Don't come in here making them out to be ''prudent'' and ''efficient''.
