Who in his/her right mind would believe that website belongs to a multi-million dollar(not even billion-dollar) company in Canada or even the US?  undecided undecided undecided undecided undecided
I mean look at the picture of the supposed employees of this company. The company is able to hire all those people, yet its website remains so crappy? 


I wouldn't even purchase a car from a company with such a website.

What is the correlation  between the weight of a company and the number of employees it hires in the 21st century?

Onlytruth:

Does anyone know the route of this rail line? What cities does it transit through?
The viability depends on the route. Simple.

1. it passes through ogun, ondo, edo , cuts down to warri, balysea, rivers, akwaibom then calabar

OR

2. pass through ogun, ondo, ekiti, edo,kwara, kogi, benue then cross river

either way is good grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

just Pulling your legs brother

I think this kind of amount mentioned should be better use to upgrade existing mode of transportation - especially most of the federal roads, railways and even the airports. After we can then start to think about this kind of construction.

^^^ Well, I will not forgive an American/Canadian company for having such a website. Nigerian companies -- **puft!

That kind of money should have been used to fix Electricity. Electricity has more benefits than rail line.

That, I disagree with! Both are of equal importance in this day and age.

the many economic benefits of a good transport system can be seem in developed countries. Instead of discouraging or bad mouthing, why not scrutinize, spot loop holes and suggests possible solutions. That's how smart individuals act, http://adeakure-sida.myminicity.com/tra

legend has it that the history of failed attempts to construct Nigerian Railway systems dated back to the Shehu Shagari Government (1979-1983), followed by Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha and Olushegun Obasanjo who signed $8.3 Billion for the construction of the failed Lagos-Kano 1315Km Railway.

It is very funny to me that most Nigerians are still living in fools paradize hoping that "Nigerian Go Sure Better" by the Goodluck Jonathan led Government to nod their heads to this kind of rediculous Proposal worth $15Billion,Hey Dudes Open your eyes, na OYO we de so, the company website is total bullshit and this another means to carry siphon money and no one is holding them responsible.

it won't happen. 1- look around the world, very few rail projects are profitable. most require continuous gov't subsidy. 2- even assuming a 5billion dollar contribution, the govt doesn't have that kind of money lying fallow somewhere. it may need to borrow to raise such amount. no one borrows to invest in & subsidise what's almost certain to be an unprofitable business 3 - a banker sitting in wall street or city of London will take less than 30 seconds to dismiss this proposal. they wont lend a consortium 10 billion dollars to invest in rail in Nigeria. just wont happen. 4 - partnering with a supremely bureaucratic fed govt when you've borrowed billions of dollars is financial suicide. few institutions in the world has the ability to frustrate as the fed govt. what happens when the next govt says its not going to continue with the project, or the foreign investors find out the last minister made off with the govt contribution & now lives large in china or Dubai. i can go on.
Re: $15bn Lagos-calabar Rail-line Underway by edogirl2: 11:08pm On Nov 16, 2011
best to let the govt embark on such project/frivolity herself. hopefully, they'll first fix more urgent problems like light, the structural imbalance in the economy etc we are still waiting for them to fix lagos-ibadan; lagos - benin; 2nd niger bridge, several yrs after they promised. what a joke
