No sense of fairness in Nigerians at all.
They think their fake population means they can dominate others.
Left to me, no need to be in the same country with these jihadist fools.
Southern Nigeria should break away and MB will follow (who wants to suffer). Leave the foolish core North and their almajiris and Boko Haram and bandits to leave in their Arewa Islamic Caliphate.
Nonsense.

Agreed, I have come to the same conclusion as you. This country should be split in two. The South will lose nothing by getting rid of these regressive people.

They have tilted an already biased political system left by the British in their favour. They engage in shameless ethnic nepotism across the civil service, government and armed forces.

What has the North given us bar banditry, religious violence, poverty, ethnic nepotism and multiple despots like Abacha, Babangida and Buhari himself..?

Let's go our separate ways, we all know who will struggle. The North will turn into Somalia in no time and we won't miss them..

First of all:
The UN secretary general is not the highest office on earth. The highest civil service job, sure, but the US president is more powerful , by far.
The UN Deputy Secretary general is a Hausa Fulani is a function of her nomination by Nigeria's president. If it was Obasanjo and the office was vacant, it would be a Yoruba man or Igbo man there now-whoever the Nigerian president nominated and backed by rallying African and Arab Muslim country support for.
It is not by virtue of the fact that she is anything special. We have had 2 or 3 Africans as Secretary general before (Kofi Annan & Butrous Butrous-Ghali) , so what is deputy that we won't hear word. Abeg go sit down.

Buhari got to be president as a mistake by the Yorubas and he has shown that the core North are incompetent and can not be trusted with power. It should be a shame to you how badly he has ruled.

Ibkhaleel:


Above all the president of Nigeria today and tomorrow is Muhammadu Buhari....all the fetish list you paste must bow in respect and reverence to Buhari


And again we have a Hausa fulani...a lady for that matter that have attained the Pinnacle of success in life where none of your like will ever attain it.....never

Deputy secretary of the United nation....the second highest office on earth

To make mention of northers that have succed in the diaspora to me is too childish because the list is endless....ppl like Jelani Aliyu...u r a witness...

How i wish you can provide me with the list of drug pushers and yahoo boys that your region have produced and defame the image of Nigeria.....

Can you please? Lol

Useless dumb hellbound creature

Mikecold:
It's always Epistles to justify themselves when they waste our patrimony in the north

You have not secured your region yet you think it's trade that is your priority

Is it not the same trains that keep breaking down across the north in transit

Would this not be food for terrorists and bandits when they just have to wait for a breakdown or Target the rail lines

This one North has been given him Nightmares since time immemorial. . Morning, Afternoon & Night, everyday, everyweek that's all he comments about.

mrvitalis:

It makes really no Sense from an economic point of view for a broke country with Nigeria

Spending billions for a rail that would contribute less than $100 million a year to our GDP

But investing $4 billion dollars to our transmission line that's controlled by the federal government would push our transmission capability to around 12,000MW and since we already have that installed capacity ...power generation n production would average around 10,000mw this would double our current state

Benefits millions far more than rail

Contribute over $50 billion to our GDP

ShuT Up. You think you are making sense. You are making noise. Shut the F up.

Not forgetting the banditary and Kidnapper's

They have taken more than $40 billion in foreign loans and invested less than $4 billion in infrastructures, yet they want the public to praise them for the poverty, corruption, insecurity and nepotism.

OLIVER TWIST, you guys are GREEDY SET OF PEOPLE, THE NORTH IS WATCHING. SANUSI IS RIGHT AFTER ALL...THE NORTH FEEDS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY YET WE NEVER MAKE SUCH STUPID DEMANDS....you hate the north and God loves the north...guy you are in serious trouble......

You have started with your early crying..useless set of people, criminals and products of pre-marital sex

Kanu and Sunday are yet to see the humiliation of their life they'll die and rot in prison on earth and hell after death

People will come online and make deceitful stories to make criminals appear like saints...Delusional grandeur is when people believe their own lies

sematec:
all the railway will be connected to dry ports in the north.
northern economy will soon boom than the south
all the northen govs are working very hard to achieve this. southern are still sleeping

Haters and the rail will fly through the south ba. hate is killing you gradually and you cant think with that brain again.

There's ongoing investment into expanding not just the transmission network but also distribution network to deliver 7000mw in the 1st phase by end of 2021, 11000mw by 2023 and 25,000mw by 2025.
The rail link between Apapa port and Kano to Maradi Niger will also be ready by 2025.
Electricity is more than just light in people's homes, it is industry and production which is dependent on cheap efficient logistics. Who says we can't have both ready, or we lack the economic capacity to finance both sectors?
Rail transport will make movement of food from producing region cheaper and faster, reduce farm waste and make cheap food available in urban areas. Also raw materials for processing will be more readily available to industry which needs electricity to run.

You can't get good results by neglecting one for the other.

Nice

Na you know. after all the gra gra, you will sha hand over power in 2023 or country splits up.
Then we will show you pepper. Barawo Banzas!

Less than 5 major breakdown in at least 1,830 days of operations is a good operational record. Just say you're ignorant of how those things work.

This will really help the economy

design111:


After you shut down the one coming to Port Harcourt abi.

What did the southern presidents do to revive or rebuild the railways? Who held their hands?

4tomandchi:
Their main goal is how to link Lagos to Niger Republic.


Make dem no deceive una.

That's a good thing, more business and revenue at Apapa port, hotels and warehouses in Lagos.

This is certainly a critical infrastructural development

MrCGPA:
Could you Imagine no Single new rail in any of the Niger Deltan States where the country's major revenue is generated and nobody cares to ask.

Keep watching Aboki enjoying your Oil money while the Oil spillage continue to destroy your land and Aquatic life.

North is affecting the Country negatively but they benefit more infrastructure and employment more than any region.

Ajaokuta Itakpe Warri rail passes through Edo and Delta states, and will soon be extended to Abuja and Warri deep ports, yet it's not passing thru Niger Delta area?

Why una like to tell childish lies like this?

Flairoqy:

Don’t you think security issues should be addressed as a priority before transmission energy? More railway means less vehicular movements and more accidents free highways, and it’ll repress roadside terrorism too.

How can you solve Nigeria security issues without electricity and transportation?

Nigeria needs both to boost employment and economic productivity to reduce unemployment and insecurity.

Imolastborn99:
Well,not suprised. Fulani and Yoruba are one, so the overbloated railway is meant to tie the two together

Yet your people are crying and going mad that Fulani excluded them from rail projects. Same projects their brother Jonathan feels they are too inferior to have. He was rather sharing money to pastors, emergency businessmen and fronts to buy private jets. GEJ even boasted that sign of his economic success story is the number of private jets parked at the airport. Imagine his biggest achievement is excessive empowerment of less than 500 people close to him.
Most of them have since sold the jets off at giveaway prices within 3 years of been cut off from free money.
But see this railway, it will serve a number of generations for the next 100 years. Which one is the smart investment?

I know electricity is as important as transportation.

mrvitalis:

Truth is people would still use roads because this high speed trains are very expensive and can't even repay themselves in 100 years time even

Don't u think more job creation would tackle the root cause of insecurities ?

Do you understand the building blocks of job creation? Is it just a wish or something you just conjure by word of mouth?

It's surprising many of you don't understand improvement in logistics is a major ingredient of sustainable job creation. Is it a deficiency of logic in our educational system. I keep seeing people saying create jobs by stopping investment in infrastructure, and I'm really shocked at the lack of depth in thinking.

Long epistle, you expect me to read that.. Joking, my middle finger

afube:








They feel that alone will turn their corner of the country into Dubai and New York but as good as the initiative is, they are drowning the nation in debt just to achieve what really? infrastructure like these are built by nations whose economy is growing and have the resources to do so...........when you are broke you do not go on an endless spending spree of other people's money, you will only end up being 10 times more broke.................when you are broke you cut spending......and when you do borrow let it be an investment in yourself.....acquiring new sellable skills........why are we not borrowing to churn out the thousands of graduates in emerging tech like electronic vehicles, lithium battery manufacturing or solid sate battery manufacturing.....alternative energy production etc.....


By the time these fulani olodos finish with us.....we will not recognize the zoo anymore.

[b]You're wrong and your stats are way off mark.

The surest path to national prosperity is to reduce the cost of doing business.

Mass rail transit is the universally acknowledged way to do this.

It provides a far cheaper and more efficient means of transporting goods and people around the country.

The national railway masterplan is a 20 year plan to connect EVERY Nigerian state capital by rail.

It will be Africa's biggest and most comprehensive national rail network.

It will also connect ultimately with other West African and African nations' networks.

The railway expansion programme is an African thing, not just a Nigerian thing. Others are building impressive rail projects too. The ultimate aim is to connect ALL Africa by high-speed rail.

The United States became the world's biggest economy after it was transformed by the building of thousands of kilometres of railroad across the country in the early 20th century. It greatly reduced the cost of doing business there. The rest is history.

And the five eastern states are not worthy for rails to pass through the states. What an injustice.

Petdagr8t:
And the five eastern states are not worthy for rails to pass through the states. What an injustice.

There is an ongoing 3 billion dollar Port Harcourt - Maiduguri line under construction right now as we speak, which connects every city of the south east.

Of all the billions that have been pumped into our electricity since 1999 what has been the benefit till date ! Darkness!! At least we can feel the rail way.

nice one

Flairoqy:
Which of them should be the utmost priority?
I know electricity is as important as transportation.

Electricity and the steel plant at Ajaokuta are the key priority. If Nigeria had a well-developed power and a steel industry they wouldn't need to waste billions that importing steel from China to build railways at an exorbitant price.

$8.3 billion for theThe Lagos–Kano Standard Gauge Railway is a 1,343 kilometres (835 miles).

Asquare84:

The bami Allahs in the region shall enable returns from the investment, abi? The most busy route in Nigeria - the east through Onitsha to Benin to Lagos- route has no railway lines.



Remember NITEL? NITEL invested heavily in the north but scarcely invested in the booming business cities in the south.


NITEL died.
