That is wrong .
APC lost in Oyo because of the arrogant, and proud Governor just like ondo state too.
Close to two years now I knew APC would loose thise two states because of the way the governors were misbehaving.

Or is it PMB that asked Ajumobi to be insulting olubadan of Ibadan ?
Is it PMB that made him demolish the physically challenged popular Christian Singer Yinka Ayefele's radio house ??
APC lost in the state not because of APC but because of Ajumobi who lost his senatorial seat to PDP but the remaining two senatorial seats were won by APC..

Are you not the same person that said APC was going to sweep all south west states?

we need Diesel trains more than Electric speed trains now, are you not sick and tired of highly dilapidated highway roads we've got here. Forget about the speed trains, we need to set our priorities right that will take off freight and cargo off the Highways. Shalom

What is the cost of bullet train or Maglev compared to the one we are building now?

The construction of Chūō Shinkansen line between Tokyo and Nagoya (and in future to Osaka) has started now. The cost is estimated at $51 billion for a distance of 286km [1]. A whopping $178 million per km to build. I don't know if this cost includes rolling stock. I presume it does, at least for the first few train sets. In contrast, the Hokuriku Shinkansen (construction began in Dec 2010) between Nagano and Kanazawa that has been constructed and will be open to public on 14 March 2015 costed $17.5 billion for a distance of 228 kms - approximately $76 million per km [2]. Adjusted to inflation of around 8% for 4 years, this might cost around $23.8 billion now, or approximately $104 million per km.

How much is the one we are building? Lagos Ibadan will cost $1.5 billion, mostly for 156 km. How much can we remove from our meager $27 billion national budget for these projects? When South Africa budget alone is $130 billion even Ghana is doing a tidy $14 for their small population. Can we afford to take a loan of $51 bn just to build a 280 km railway? How many years will we need to pay back and how many people can this serve? Even the loan of $8bn less 15% counterpart funding is already stretching our ability to pay back.

Many people just spill trash without thinking at all, you are living in UK so what?

I was a subcontractor for Julius Berger during the breaking ground of the Lagos badagry railway. It is true that Jonathan spearheaded this modern marvel, however it was Buhari's administration that provided most of the funding. It can be argued that the railway resulted in Buhari's reelection but we should not forget that in 1994 Rashidi Yekini became the first Nigerian player to score in the world cup tournament where we defeated Bulgaria 3-0.

What's the relationship between Yekini and GMB?

Everyone claiming on Nairaland/social media they know whats best, condemning every move and every body, comparing Nigeria with every other country but alas, they dont even have a PVC- they cant vote. You need to be able to vote to earn a right to even complain. Keep fooling yourselves with all your nonsense analyses and comparison on Nairaland all ye 'ministers of social media affairs'.

He will. Everyone has his own weaknesses and faults but by now, even if you guys cant openly declare it, in your innermost mind, you all know that president Buhari is not a regular politician we have around. The way he does his own things are different. And back to your question, yes he will keep up the tempo. He doesnt do his things to gain political points or relevance, he does what an ideal leader should do for his citizens. Take it or leave it, PMB is in his own league.

He's in his own league, Jesus Christ! Do you know what Falana said about him yesterday on Channels TV? He said, "No politician alive around the world has the kind of luck Buhari has". That Buhari is unique, has crazy followership and doesn't roll with the political class. He was saying these with so much enthusiasm, I literally thought he was going to fall off his chair. He said if Atiku had won, he would have been flabbergasted.

Keep quiet you live in London so what? ....... you are really ignorant..... Underground railway is not a yardstick because underground railway system intra city exist mostly in UK for reasons best known to them.. Like the person you quoted said even in western world those old trains run alongside bullet trains.

Bro outside the respect I have for PMB as regards his integrity which is lacking in 99% of our politicians, there was a day my G.O who never speak about politics made a statement.

He said, he was in a trans(vision) and God spoke to him that Nigeria has missed it twice before. He mentioned two prominent former leaders that I can't remember but must be between MKO and either muritala or one other northern president. He said God told him if we miss it this time around(that was when PMB was terribly sick), we might not recover from it in decades. Three times we meet in church in a week. Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday and we made sure we prayed fervently for him in the three meetings for his full recovery. Thank God he is fine now, and I believe things will take proper shape this term. Love him or hate him, baba na baba and we that know his worth will keep appreciating and supporting him.

I love and have great respect for him too. If ever I see him, I'd give him a tight hug. I call him my second daddy. Lol.

I believe it takes a special kind of intelligence to be able to see through and understand what President Buhari is capable of.

I'm proud to say I voted for him in 2015 as well.
