Trucking is very good business the world over. What can you do without trucks?

See, politics and corruption make it hard for government to fix the problem of trucks and bad roads around Apapa axis. Be minded also that a lot of those big organizations who face the water front have converted their premises to tank farms. Formerly trucks only picked up goods inside Apapa port. Now trucks need to pick up petroleum products in the tank farms scattered everywhere there.

The ports generate a lot of money. Haulage trucks make a lot of money. It is very competitive and our politicians have invested a lot in it.

NPA has done woefully in organising the ports, especially as it relates to containers and positioning of trucks. Government failed to fix the roads. Truck drivers and owners refuse to behave appropriately because politicians who are owners back them. The various security agencies put in place at the ports see it as a veritable source of wealth making.

Apapa port always had railway running in it. It’s been there for too many years, connected to Oyingbo. Getting it to work may not solve the problem. Trains can only run on designated routes. What will happen to goods not going out of Lagos? What about interstate goods not going to Ibadan. Will owners feel comfortable using trains? Will it be more cost effective for the importer?

Government can do the following:
1. Fix the road network in Apapa and Tin can Island
2. With the use of badges some containers can go to kirikiri to be picked up by trucks and delivered to the bonded terminals.
3. The Orile trailer park must be fixed and expanded enough to contain more trailers.
4. Proper monitoring system must be put in place
5. NPA must organize the ports properly

Cheers.

You have every right not to trust the government.

BUT the keyword here is HOPE.

Half Bread is better than puff puff.

The previous administration did nothing.

So....

Coronavirus1:

The project are Goodluck Jonathan project but Buhari has don well by not abandoning the project though to me he is a failure in many ways, The youth are suffering the masses are dying of hunger no single good road in south south and south west

twilliamx:


On paper maybe! But in reality give to the man that has used is 6 years in improving infrastructure unlike the latter that was borrowing to pay salaries during the oil boom..

PS: fuckkkk Buhari....dead people can't use infrastructures. He should improve in securing the lives of the people so that we can enjoy the infrastructures peaceably

GayPontiff:
The administration dey too much abeg. See all the things they done do for the nation. Over 3000 completed projects Dem too much abeg

erico2k2:

PS.I want full bread cos I pay full tax.that half bread Shyte don't wash it 4 me xcuse my French.

Slurity:
Remove welfare from your accusations. I agree with the remaining two. But no government can be perfect in every aspect. Learn to appreciate the one he is doing well

DrDax:


Go and collect it.

kolaaderin:
Great news. The inland ports can now be serviced by the port hence Decongesting Lagos gradually. APC is a failure, but PDP must be put to history book forever, never again should they rule over Nigerians.

AK481:


Igbos will not invest in Ibadan .the rail should be transferred to onitsha, that the best and acceptable standard

AK481:


Story, igbos will continue to use the road to transport their good until the rail is linked to onitsha

QED.

Yebedervru:

Stop deceiving yourself. Rails will never be linked to onitsha from Lagos

AK481:


Why?

Any economic reasons ?

This project is part of Chinese long term plans to connect Central Africa through rail-way to Niger-republic to northern nigeria, all the way to the sea, in order to make it easier to export raw materials to China. Even the Lagos-Ibadan rail is the thinking of the Chinese, buhari has no brain in this. It's part of the agreement clause in the chinese loans which the nigerian government has to honor.

Blue3k:


Lol you're a geography challenged conspiracy theorist. The rail moves north south so it cant be part of their plan to connect nigeria to to central Africa. The Lagos Calabar rail would be able to to that assuming it connected to other contries in the future.

Second the niger Republic Nigeria rail connection is being financed by European financiers not chinese.

Ps: map of central America

olaboy33:
Commendable.

I urge the FG to as much as possible reduce the fare for the Lagos-Ibadan train.
This is so the common man can afford it and see it as a better alternative to road transport.



It was a very good thing Pdp was removed Login and Register from power.

They had stayed so long in power that systemic corruption was institutionalized.

They couldn't afford to fix certain things not because the funds were not available but because the source of income of their numerous cronies would be affected.

The APC shouldn't be allowed to stay for too long also.

Yebedervru:

Well you’re the one not making sense. Even though kano Niger rail isn’t financed by Chinese
The Lagos kano rail will link up to Nige republic
So everything now is about Lagos - Niger republic

Blue3k:


You're rebuttal is nonsensical. You literally admitted he wrong and I'm right. After that you make a strawman arguement because you cant disprove anything I claimed. I never claimed the rails wont connect lagos to Niger Republic. I wrote the rail wont connect central Africa. Your points dont even refute anything I said.

Yebedervru:

But some of his points makes more sense than yours. Since Lagos will be connected to Niger republic, then it has to pass through kano and not calabar and that’s why he made more sense than you

GidiCars:
This project is part of Chinese long term plans to connect Central Africa through rail-way to Niger-republic to northern nigeria

Blue3k:


Lol your illogical ramblings dont make sense. He claimed thow rail would connect to central Africa which is false. Lagos Calabar can connect central Africa to Nigeria because cross river is by Cameroon which is in central Africa. You're pretty slow if you can't grasp basic geography.

Yebedervru:

You’re dense and senseless. The main aim is to connect to Niger republic not central Africa. So Lagos kano is the priority
EOD

Jonathan didn't BUILD "13 new federal universities in 5 years". He ESTABLISHED "13 new federal universities in 5 years". I am not condenming what he did but please get your facts right. Most universities in Nigeria starts on temporary sites or with little or no infrastructures on permanent sites and add as time goes on.
