Your reasons cannot appeal to my intellect, it is a wastage of time. This is the same reasons given by Yaradua men for the establishment of Federal University of Petroleum Technology in Kaduna abandoning PTI at that time. I have visited Bayelsa severally, Yenagoa is a small creek town, diversion of coastal railway map to Otuoke will still bring infrastrural development to Ijaw people in Bayelsa as the railway will not fly & land in otuoke but must pass through coastal villages & islands. Yenagoa people have no problem but let us see the rail line first. There is economic justification for rail line to otuoke because it benefits the maritime & oil business activities in the area & that of Nigeria.

We are talking about national interest you are bringing in sentiment. So, tomorrow if somebody from Akwanga or Lapai or Madala becomes president, the first thing is to start to divert national project to the area irrespective of rate of return on investment or cost benefit analysis.

obailala:
First of all, GEJ diverted the coastal rail off-route from Yenagoa to his village. So kindly tell us what the benefit of a rail line in Otuoke is?.. I can tell you for a fact that Daura is an ancient commercial city whose commerce can be revived by a robust transport infrastructure like the one Buhari just approved. So now, tell us what the economic value of Otuoke is?

Secondly, did you just say a federal university is a Bayelsa matter and not national issue?.... So biko explain to me how a railway extended to Daura in Katsina is now your business?...

Lastly, if you think not having a federal university in Bayelsa is a good and fine reason why GEJ should place a federal university in his town, kindly enlighten me on what is wrong in Buhari approving the first modern railway connection to his state and his town?... You think you are wise right?.. Don't let your hatred for Buhari swallow your objectivity.

babaolofin:


It is now my hatred for Buhari is swallowing my objectivity. I now know Nigeria cannot survive. It is a matter of time. Sarrki & his co travellers well done.

Counter my points and stop resorting to some pointless diversions...

As seen on Facebook

‪President Muhammadu Buhari just approved a new rail line from Kano to Daura, his home town. What is the strategic importance of Daura to Nigeria's economy? What does Daura bring to the table in terms of contribution to Nigeria's GDP that it should require this huge investment? Warri and Port Harcourt are both cities that contribute more than any city, with perhaps the exception of Lagos, to Nigeria's GDP. Both of them are not linked by rail. Yet the money generated by the economies of these two cities will fund the new Kano-Daura rail. You cannot even make an economic argument for the necessity of such a huge investment for Daura! This is why we insist on restructuring so that a biased leader would not take wealth from elsewhere to develop his own village and town simply because we live in a flawed federalism!

rusher14:


I'm sorry but Jonathan never had an opinion on restructuring so how could O'mockery differ?

legendte:

Don't sound stupid. I want to believe that you are learned. Everything we are saying now was captured in the conference. Get information please. Unless you want to go tribal.

rusher14:


Don't be silly.

Is Jonathan the voice of the conference?

When we say you guys are illiterate this is what we mean.

Does a president dictate the proceedings of a conference?

legendte:

I knew that something is missing up there in your brain. Who said that Jonathan was the voice. Do you even know what conference is all about? I dey shame for you Bro. Enough, we are both not on the same frequency and I don't want to go dirty with low thinkers.

Joejonah:
GEJ was never tribalist in all government project. He gave more to the north. Now, how many people do travel to daura the they need rail station?.

adecz:
Who told this jester that
Port Harcourt is not linked to rail??

arinzeejikonye:
This is an ambiguity of gross misinformation, and his verbose expletives reeks of odious sentimental arrogance,

Here Reno acted like a bigoted political chauvinistic ignoramus, this is crudely condescending and a commonsensical dissonance and offensive misrepresentation of facts,

Your disconnection from truism is a pointer to your trepid political bellicisity towards the incumbent,
1.the daura is gonna have a detour, station for transit, hence it has been part of the original masterplan for the Western line known as lakaji that is lagos-kano-jibiya,
Daura is within jibiya local government area,

2.for a paradigm of diversification to become a practicable reality, you need to an advancement of the agricultural supply chain,

3.the backward integration plan, involves value Chain addition, which includes faster freight of agro-consumables without delay to points of termination, demand points, supply points, production points, retail points, etc

4.the reagriculturalization plan, involves mitigation of excess westages from inadequacies in preservation of agro-consumables, by this means cooling and refrigerator coaches will be introduced to curtail the anomaly,

5.the roads are becoming increasingly expensive to maintain, hence transportation logistics is a pointer to diversification of our mono economy, hence by taking agro-consumables from roads to fastidiously expedite their movement on rails, our roads becomes more durable and last longer, with reduction in road accidents,

6.the daura within jibiya is a path towards the neighboring country of Niger within the West African subregion, hence their is transnational transregional economic integration, hence the facilitation through the logistics of transportation, by this means movement of goods boosting regional trade, Some of the beef you eat comes From niger Republic,

7.no need to wallow in sadistic trepidation, because, the eastern line, traverses major cities of the East including portharcourt, umuahia, Aba, enugu, markurdi, jos, bauchi, maiduguri,

8.coastal line includes otueke, onitsha, warri,yenagoa, calabar, Lagos, portharcourt, etc,

9.Currently there is ongoing resuscitation and expansion of ajaokuta - itakpe - warri - apapa line,

10.the handlers are the Chinese, you saw the tremendous job they did with Abuja - kaduna line, and the spreading their tentacles tentatively allover the sub-saharan, from Nairobi to nakuru to Mombasa to daresalam in Kenya and Tanzania to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia to Djibouti, etc

11.General Electric, is the major concessionaire, with the plan of bringing in 100 coaches, including refrigerator coaches, while the also handle the resuscitation, recalibration of the narrow Guage line, Some are replaced with standard Guage rail, including rolling stock, etc,

12.the investors confirmation and confidence shows that the viability of the lines is an irrefutable guarantor of return on investment,
Remember trajectory to self-sufficiency is becoming feasible, hence every facet of the country must fall in line to comparative advantage for diversification from the oil economy,

13.if you think GE, China, are fools then you thought wrong, for them to be investing tens of billions of dollars in this projects, mind you this is no longer business ass usual, hence the concession deal, past experience was ladden with parsimonious avidity, rapacious devastation and cantankerous mind boggling embezzlement, Issues of inadequacies, ineptitudness, inefficiencies, exacerbated the already aggravated situation,

So no more kickbacks, bribery to forestall the projects,
However, the government must be watched closely to avoid her mortgaging our future prosperity by shortchanging us today,

Incase of balkanization, decentralization or conflagration the deal remains unchanged.
The key word is "continuity".

Keep quiet. What does daura contribute to the nation's GDP and why muat the president develop hos hometown at the detriment of other economic cities? Is he the president of daura or Nigeria?

Who told this jester that
Port Harcourt is not linked to rail??

babaolofin:


Bayelsa is a creek state. Only one local government is on the mainland, the remaining are surrounded by water (sea). There is Niger Delta University in Wilberforce Island. The Federal University in Bayelsa has justification being the only Federal University. The location is for Bayelsa people's discussion & not a national issue. What justification for rail line to Daura under this economic downturn.
