We're thankful that he didn't get in the way and stall the project. However, the idea, the rights-of-way, the contracts, the stations, the tracks sef... all were in motion way before PMB got into office. But still, at least, he saw it to completion... we just want the facts to be known so he and his party of liars won't make it a campaign point, because the previous 3 administrations did 90% of the work.

Without any information or source you know the percentage completion, either your teachers failed you or you failed your teachers

Which project has Buhari initiated for subsequent governments to complete? Which major project has he initiated and carried up to half way?
You no get sense?

Why enter school if you know you can't graduate? Why start at all, if you know you can't finish it?

we don't care to know all these. All we care about is that the light rail was commissioned and it's good for the masses. These are ploys by these politicians to further divide us an pull us backward. can common sense senator please focus on what he was elected to do please? what if it was abandoned ?Rubbish

Don't mind the wicked things, they would have been more satisfied and happier if the project was not completed so they can use it as negative campaign.

That's how much they hate the progress of Nigeria

let the truth be said.
Let give honour to whom it due.
Please,answer this simple question. If your parents struggled to send you to secondary school. Because of situation beyond their power prevent them to train you further and your uncle help to university. When you succeed in life will you only praise only your uncle? Knowing that your parents lay the foundation.
Now. Politics and the anology you gave are incongruous(not suitable that is).



You don't expect APC to give credit to an opposition party. Just like Ben Bruce is trying to bring down the effort of Buhari for completing the project. You get?


Yes, PDP set the foundation for it and deserve some accolades even though that project has been on for over 16 years. Well let's leave that. But to say Buhari shouldn't be praised for completing the project, is to be an ingrate.

If it was a PDP President that completed the project, would PDP have been beating this drum? Ask yourself.

OBJ awarded the contract and paid for the same contract back in 2008, yaradua continued and useless and incompetent Jona rewarded and paid for the same project and couldn't even finish the same project that was started by OBJ in 2008



This is the reason why the crooked, corrupt and incompetent PDP left us zero infrastructures, this is why they saddled us with thousands of abandoned projects all over the country and this is the reason why PMB is finishing up projects left and right. but these Igbos and their PDP masters want us to applaud them for not finishing anything after 16 yers in office while PMB is finishing everything in less than 3 years.


Instead of saying we started and finished, the losers are screaming we started and we started, but never can say we finished we finished.

What a bunch of losers







Oga, abeg close your mouth. Which project did Obj pay for? In 2008? Are you for real? Was Obj the president in 2008? Before Jonathan's government, had any ground work commenced on both the Abuja - Kaduna rail and Abuja light rail?
Jonathan paid up for the project. Even Buhari can't do anything about it. It's just like Goodluck Jonathan expressway that cut across Abuja City. Jonathan paid up for the contract and that's why the work is still ongoing now. The only way Buhari can stop it is to revoke the contract.

Talking about projects completed, we remember how many power plants GEJ started and completed. We know how many universities he started and completed. We know how other past administrations set up systems to check curruption including IPPIS and TSA started by Jonathan. Tell us what Buhari has initiated.

Oga shut up. You know nothing. Major infrastructural projects cannot be finished in one tenure. A project like 2nd Niger bridge or the coastal rail network will span over more than 4 years irrespective of which government in Nigeria is executing it. Mambila power project is one that has defied several administrations. It's a trans-administration project.
Nigeria will not develop infrastructurally if every administration only starts projects they will finish within their tenure.

Brother, don't misunderstand Ben Bruce: GEJ commissioned that project based on Ben Bruce information and from the pictures attached. He only accused the PBM government of commissioning the project again and I agree that it was not necessary to recommission again.

Yes, PMB govt completed the project and we must appreciate PMB administration for that achievement but there was no need to commission it again given that more funds has been wasted on the commissioning yet again.

just listen to urself. CAN THEY COMMISSION A PROJECT BEFORE COMPLETION? if gej did not complete d project why then will he commission it? the truth is that, gej has never commission that project at all

Obasanjo’s $8.3b Rail deal unsettles Yar’Adua

The chief co-coordinator of CCECC, Mr. Karl Leo, complained of lack of funds to prosecute the project. Leo said apart from the $250 million mobilization fee paid by government to the Chinese firm in March, last year, it has not received additional funds for the project – the first phase of which was scheduled for completion in 2010.

https://www.nigerianmuse.com/20080319201221zg/sections/other-peoples-essays/obasanjo-s-8-3b-rail-deal-unsettles-yar-adua/



OBJ awarded the contract, Yaradua canceled it and $250 million mobilization fee was paid in 2009, so who paid that mobilization fee? Jona traveled back in time to pay that money in 2009?


Everything Jona commissioned was awarded and paid for by OBJ and Nigerians didn't cry and wail, but not these tantrum throwing and petty ipob villagers, they think we should praise and celebrate their abandoned projects other people are finishing.

You're not smart. Go back and read the article in the link you posted. It was talking about modernization of Lagos to Kano narrow gauge. Does that sound anything like Abuja light rail or Kaduna to Abuja standard gauge?

Also, from what you posted, did Obj pay for the project? Wasn't that what you said initially? Why are you yarning dust?
Okay, Yar' Adua paid $250mn for the project, wasn't Jonathan part of the administration? Wasn't Jonathan the one who held sway from 2009 till he fully took over in 2010 when Yar' Adua died? Can you now see it was Jonathan who paid for it?

The question is, why is PMB commissioning projects that. 16 years of PDP and obj, yaradua, Jona and the largest earnings and wealth in the history of Nigeria couldn't complete?

Funny when lazy, crooked, corrupt and incompetent people litter the country with thousands of abandoned projects and still want to claim credit when they are completed by competent, dedicated and patriotic Nigerians.

I think next time Buhari and every future administration should abandon every single incomplete/ongoing project they meet when they get to power. Maybe by then, the sheer stupidity of the typical Nigerian with Nigerian common sense will take the country to the next level. So much for albino common sense!

Who is this so called Ben Broom is he not aware of several uncompleted and abandoned projects that are abound all over the country as far back as 1970s not withstanding the number of head of states and political Presidents the country has produced what they do is just start a project and after they say it is 25% completed they allow the project to rot away after looting the remaining 75% to complete the project and when
another government comes in it is yet another new project awaiting to be started and abandoned uncompleted but with Buhari going on to embark on most of these abandoned projects and trying to complete them wailers and haters like Ben Broom are trying to condemn him. Look at Ajaokuta steel project abandoned since 1978 its completion is now ongoing, similarly 20year old 2nd Niger bridge is now nearing completion, what about the abandoned Oyo_Ogbomosho road started and abandoned by OBJ is now nearing completion by Buhari not even to talk about Nigerian National Airline the pride of a Nation which had been stolen for years by the previous administrations is now coming back before December this year and there many other ongoing renewal of abandoned projects for completion for which these haters are aware of yet they still continue with their hate speeches to condemn the government.

Much as I hate Buhari's administration and the man himself, I think this statement by Ben Bruce is "nationally wrong' and not good for our development. Ben Bruce must be seen as an enemy of the state.

Yes, the past government started it but the project would have been a deserted ruin if this present government had turned it's face away. The man who completes a task deserves the better share of the accolades. And that's what Buhari has done. This statement by Bruce has the potential of discouraging continuity in governance which in turn will stifle development. Lets not allow our party affiliation and political loyalty stagnate our progress.


Goalscorers covert chances created by other players to goals and take much of the glory even though they might not have been involved in the build up play. Yet their names get put in the scorer sheet and they get praised for the goals without which those created chances would have been a total waste.


Thata being said and this notwithstanding,

BUHARI MUST GO!!

Kudos to you and any other person who is able to separate politics from patriotism/ national development.

One of the drawbacks of the Nigerian political landscape is that some people do not mind cutting their nose to spite their face. With statements like this one credited to Ben Bruce, we should all understand why successive governments abandon projects that aren't initiated by them.

You people are just too shameless for your own good.

You really know nothing and you're not aware of it.
The ground work for the Abuja light rail and Abuja to Kaduna standard gauge started in Jonathan's tenure and was nearly completed b4 Buhari took over. Buhari simply built the stations and commissioned the project and you're hailing him. I'm not here to talk about Obj's tenure and Yaradua's. I'm focusing on Jonathan cos you folks like blaming him for all the woes of Nigeria. Even your saviour Buhari said Jonathan didn't do any project, yet he's commissioning projects Jonathan nearly completed.

Now, 2nd Niger Bridge is there. Buhari has spent 3 years and 2 months, and not even up to 10 pillars have been erected in that river for the bridge. Even if Buhari rules for another 4 years, he will still not finish that bridge at the rate he's going. Can you mention any major infrastructural project Buhari initiated which he has carried even up to half way? He promised to deliver 10000MW power in 4 years but hasn't laid the foundation for any power station. What has Buhari really done? What is he doing apart from commissioning projects almost completed by the same administration he claims didn't do anything?
Buhari is a disaster.
