Oh yes he did...
The project was 100% funded by Afican EXIM bank with GT bank assistance and the money was to be paid back in about 5years.

Leave CRS to us mate...we know our sleeping governor better.

Duke was the real deal.

Would you know if the former governor, Duke completed PAYMENT for the metro/ light rail before he left office

If the South-south had produced a president. Like Akpabio, Imoke or Ameachi, Nigeria would have been far better than it is presently. Jonathan was born clueless and daft.

Thanks for the clarification.
I hope Duke would return to active politics and play a key role in the ongoing necessary reform of PDP to remain a viable force despite the party's defeat at the presidential election.

Our country needs a worthy opposition to continue deepening our teenage democracy.
Cheers!

Smh. *Face in Palm*Do not bring to fore anymore of your childishness around any of my post, I never made that post to degrade anyone or entity. My post was in response to the question as regards the distance of the Monorail at the moment.If the Government want to scale it further it is a welcome development. Please for your own good go and learn some manners and ethics in holding discussions or arguments that are beyond your comprehension.I wonder who is the Somalia migrant now.


next when you are trying to present a factual argument... learn to say "in my own opinion" don't say things authoritatively......in as much as government words are not to be trusted either....

Excuse me,how is the current distance of that project 'my opinion' ? Did I write the news articles that can be found on the internet or did I give the distance to Google Earth?

Clueless and daft yet in five years:

- our economy grew so well and drew international attention & recognition.
- our corruption index improved as acknowledged by Transparency International.
- our roads that were abandoned for years/decades were reconstructed and new ones constructed.
- our food production increased to the envy of even Jonathan's political enemies.
- our manufacturing sector/ auto/textiles etc revived steadily.
- our railway services was revived and continued expanding with newer coaches and engines.
- our universities grew and almajiri schools were established

Perhaps you do not know the meaning of the two words you just used, or do you

What we had was a badly managed political process on the part of Jonathan/PDP that allowed plenty of LIES, DISTORTIONS and PROPAGANDA to eclipse the real performance of this outgoing federal administration.
No more no less!!!

I worked with him and I can tell you that was one fellow who could get things done. Before the likes of Fashola or Akpabio this guy had transformed Calabar before the end of his first term. Light, water, roads, sanitation, health, education. He had a post oil vision so invested heavily in agriculture and tourism. Sadly he could not get Federal support to ignite the Calabar Ports and make the EPZ there a hub of activities.

He was considered by OBJ (owner of Nigeria) for the Presidency but like Odili was considered too independently minded and dangerous. They settled for what they thought was a flaccid Jonathan. The rest is history. Now that the PDP is gutted I hope someone like him can make some sort of return for the sake of democracy in Nigeria.

Femi: But we need change, and remember we’ve now learnt that our votes can bring about change.

Ebiere: Yes, we need change, but there is a crucial lesson here. Nigerian elites have learnt and reinforced that when you are a minority you can be bullied out of a position no matter how powerful that position is. Maybe it’s because of such lessons learnt from the past that facilitated the easy changing of the Igbo senate presidents by Obasanjo for ‘credible sounding’ reasons, whereas it was hard to push out the Speakers of the house from the core North.

Femi: Guy you are confusing me. Are you now saying that we should reward incompetency with our votes.
Ebiere: No way. Please forget my other rigmaroles. It was me being emotional and making us understand that in the process of killing a fly perched on our scrotum we swiped too hard and killed the fly as well as hurt our scrotum.

Ebiere: In essence, what I am saying is that our democracy is yet to have the deepening you earlier alluded to. Perhaps, when a core northerner has had his 2nd term bid truncated, only then would I agree and say yes, the Nigerian democracy is deepening real good, and devoid of religious and ethnic sentiments

MEDIOCRITY at its worst. As someone who knows Calabar. The corridor where this train operates will not benefit the public at all and the distance is very short. Simply put, it is worthless for the common man in Calabar or Cross River.

I know some people will never see anything good about development simply because it has not pass through your village. Its a process. Its a pity!!

Re: Calabar Monorail Coaches Arrive by xtremely9ja: 3:07pm On May 11, 2015
Lol grin grin grin grin grin.......Politicians are liers of the highest order......the distance the monorail will cover is approximately 400 meters from Tinapa to The International Conference Center which also is a gargantuan waste of money. A bridge of less than 50 meters over the artificial lake separating the two location or a 1.5 km road circumventing the Tinapa Resort lake would have been of enormous benefit, to the plan residential estate around WAEC which is near the International Conference Center. The bridge or link road would also have directed more traffic to Tinapa to resurrect business activities there from the international conference center end.
But I guess the 1.5Km road could not be used to defraud the state enough neither will the cost of a 50 meter bridge over the lake. I pity my country. cry cry
