When I say that pmb will end up being the best president among the ones the country has ever had, people through fights at me as if I am talking out of context. They ask such questions as; show me what he has achieved. Even when they are seeing and reading news like this, they turn the other way. But I am not disturbed because time will tell.

How does a barefaced liar open his mouth and say that he is for issue based discussion?
Is that why you support liars like Amaechi, Buhari and other APC corrupt hypocrites

Amaechi: I Never Knew Railway Transport Existed in Nigeria.
- Minister expresses ignorance of contract awarded to Tompolo.
..
Omololu Ogunmade in Abuja; and Sunday Okobi in Lagos.
...
In a bizarre twist, the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, On Tuesday announced that he never knew the railways as a means of transport efficiently existed in Nigeria.
The minister who stated this when he and other officials of the ministry toured the facilities of the Nigerian Railways Corporation (NRC) in Lagos, added that the government would concentrate on building standard gauge railway lines that would befit Nigeria status as a developing economy as well as compliment it.
Amaechi said: “In fact, I think we have a problem; most people don’t believe that the railway transport is functioning in Nigeria. I didn’t even know, until I started this tour, I never knew that the railway was functioning, it was even from his (MD’s) speech that I learnt that there are some coaches or services that go to Kano or Port Harcourt or elsewhere.”

Do we have an option?
Can we use Nigerian companies?
Do you have a list of such capable Nigerian companies?
Can you do anything to make the list grow with credible companies?
