ashjay001:


U wish!

Since u seem ignorant, Calabar n PH do have working ports. Infact, Calabar was once Nigeria's state capital.

And since u sound simple minded, rail transport generally is cheaper, more efficient and less prone to accidents compared to road transport. And d rail is to open up d hinterlands, after-all d rail will have stops in most towns it passes thru. Also, should there be high speed passenger rail, u can even work in PH, yet stay in Owerri.

Simple as ABC

God bless u sir.

Ooh, say what you know! PH and Calabar have ports but importers prefer using Lagos ports because of the huge market created in Lagos as a result of population. I remember GEJ once saying that even after waiver has been granted to importers to use Calabar and Warri Ports they still prefer Lagos ports.

The last time I check from Lagos to Calabar except by air one must pass through several states: Ondo, Edo, Delta, Imo, Rivers, Akwa ibom.
It is a laudable project given the potential it has to boost connectivity of goods and persons and reducing eventual cost of commodities and transportation.
If we must grow as a country accessibility is key and no government worth its talk should think otherwise.

All what we are witnessing today is just PDP laying the groundwork for 2019 blackmails and propaganda.

They'd rather have any good federal project sited in their dominated areas withdrawn so as to make the government look bad and give credence to their preferred mode of politicking- division along ethnic and religious lines.

Honestly, I feel some people simply need to be eliminated for us to move forward in this country. This is just appalling!!

I honestly think that your argument lacks every sense of rational and critical analysis.

All the information provided in your supporting paragraphs can best be described as guesses devoid of substantiated facts. If they are verifiable, can you tell us those who have removed the purported project in order to give a dog a bad name? Don't you also think It is better to have accurate information before pointing accusing fingers?

By your skewed analysis and submission, you need not look further to know whom to eliminate for the progress of our country. Propaganda can never give birth to prosperity.

Rail lines don't only carry produce they create and sustain communities, reducing urban drift and opening the country to development.
Assuming that harbours are built as a first priority in Calabar, how will the end product be distributed around Nigeria. Or are you expecting importers to bring goods in for relatively speaking small markets? At 25mn people and growing Lagos is the hub of Trade/Commerce in nigeria and the connection via Republic of Benin to West African markets. Youve got to start somewhere to get traction.

No country in the world has developed without a decent rail network.

Let's leave tribalism and conspiracy theories out of this. They are roads that lead nowhere.

Check the homepage, you'll see a thread showing the video clip. How does this make you feel now?

truthalways:


You are yarning balls

Do you think this train will just go from Lagos to Calabar straight?

Do you know how many states it would go through before getting to Calabar?

Do you know how many states will benefit from this rail?

Do you know that transportation by rail carries lots of goods and is quite secure?

Try to always think before commenting

Must it terminate at Lagos before these States would benefit from it?

Pls correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the warri and Onne ports located in the south south?
2. a calabar -LAGOS railway line would be one of the best things to happen to trade in the southern region as a whole.
let me give you a first hand example....I live in LAGOS right?so last year I go in search of Palm oil in cross rivers state....I hear cross rivers produces great Palm oil.....and so I locate some fantastic sweet smelling hand milled Palm oil in large quantity....I bring 30litres of this Palm oil to LAGOS and everyone I give a sample falls in love with it and wants more in large quantities.....I do my homework and discover that the cost of transporting that oil to LAGOS is astronomical thereby making it impossible to venture Into that business.Iwished there was a railway line from calabar to Lagos......on my trip I also met lots of people who come to Lagos to buy things which they sell in calabar.....My brother I for one would travel that route by rail .Its sad that such a valuable route was scrapped off the budget

It is beyond belief that an educated person wrote the absurd. It is even more horrendous that 50 people like the post. Is the OP telling us that the Igbo's would be perpetual importers of finished goods from other countries . Even if the igbos are consigned to trading other people's goods, how do you distribute the goods to other parts of Nigeria?
The main cause of our socio economic problem is lack of production and trading opportunities between the various regions in Nigeria due to lack of railways and very poor road networks. Farmers in the north are unable to get their produce to markets in the south where they are needed. Most farm produce produced in the north get spoilt, while people in the south pay exorbitant prices for the few that get to the markets through bad roads. The reverse is the case for manufactured goods produced or imported from the south, the become very expensive by the time they get to the north.

When the British came to Nigeria , the first thing they build was a rail network connecting all agricultural and rescource centres to port Harcourt. Before the US embarked on industrialization, the whole country was involved in building the railway system. But here, some people are against building an effective railway system for the whole country.

I dont agree with u, If the south south people were united , like their countreparts in the west and north the project would have seen the light of day.

This mentality of I better pass you has been the bane of development in the area, they never unite for a common cause, this will and continue to be their downfall.

You derailed when you mentioned some 'Yoruba oligarchy'. Are the Yorubas the only ones in the NA? Are the Yorubas the ones governing the SE/SS regions? Are the Yorubas your senators, reps and LGA chairmen and councillors? These are the people who perpetually put you in bondage, but unfortunately for you and your goons, you always fail to see the bigger picture and would rather resort to finger-pointing; all because of unexplainable hatred, fear, inferiority complex, ethnicity, bigotry and lack of common sense!

Pray tell, why is it the Yorubas the ones shouting to the rooftops concerning this all important project that would positively affect the economy of the South in general? For the clueless like you, the reason is because the Yorubas are no neophytes when it comes to demanding accountability even from their own. They see the bigger picture far beyond your parochial interest. They believe that regardless of our differences in political and ethnic interest, a collective effort is needed to develop the nation as the people are the ultimate gainers.

Remove that ethnicity gab from your eyes. It is blinding out some common sense!

It has now shown we are been govern by confused people..Now i need no one to tell me buhari is a failure.

If AMAECHI is serious and capable why is it missing from the original BUDGET? I believe Buhari and people working for him are liars, the budget started having problem from the first day it was sent to the NASS. for how long will this government continue to delay, all they do very fast is to attack PDP and and their enemies, they have no solution on how to improve the situation on the ground. Amaechi messed up rivers state before leaving and he still want to do the same at the federal level. It won't happen.

Nigerians are yet to understand why the lots of Cascading and discrepancies in the 2016 Budget is still on......Could this be a sign of Bugaboo to run the country affairs adequately and competently, or is it the Braggadocio nature of the APC administration and lack of Alacrit that is affecting the budget?....This has become very imperative that the Nigerian budget should not be seen as a Lampoon by the way it is been mishandled by APC administration....Amaechi defenses towards the Lagos-Calabar project in the budget is obviously Mephistophelean, towards the entire people of south-south as a whole..... whereby not allowing the south-south their right to witness and be part of the development that would take place within their country...... This case should be dismiss as being foolish or impractical of APC lead administration in Nigerian......Change Fire.
