That was under the failed PDP. Labour party have been repositioned to make Nigeria look like Dubai. Obi is the best man for the job.

For Nigeria to look like Dubai, we would have to have 15 million people, and be producing 4 m barrels of crude oil a day.

Dubai and the UAE is built on oil wealth. Not on industry, or actively exporting industry. Oyel. And exploting migrant workers to do the dirty jobs.

So we are in the season of throwbacks ...

But isn’t that what your people -Ibo/Igbo/IPOB are now saying. Someone have said it way before but your people didn’t listen or buy into it. Tell Obi to run for the president of the Ibo/Igbo/IPOB republic.

i am not into politics, But i don't think what we are building is a modern rail... We are trying but the Fact remains we don't have money to build modern rails

Buhari made great effort and layed the foundation for the Railway University

This in turn will make us depend locally for building, which may be better and cheaper

But corruption will always say no

True, but borrowing for railways makes a lot of sense.

Our roads are getting worn out because we use them overmuch. All those Dangote trailers and many other trailers...are transporting goods that ideally should be done by rail. And if Abuja had been linked to rail with the rest of Nigeria...the fuel scarcity that we are experiencing would have not happened because fuel would have been brought in by rail....

We need railways. Cheaper too.

He was right. We borrowed to buy new trains meaning we didn’t have the money

It is not surprising anyway, the Lp candidate also did nothing when he was a Gov in Anambra. Bed of the same

Can Nigeria afford brand new train?

No.

Buying this train was the most idiotic policy of this administration. Now we are sunk in debt and the so called failed train cannot finance itself to pay back borrowed money.

See our budget and you will find the amount to service avoidable loans taken by this administration.

We lack leaders who can reason critically in making sound judgment.

Even Lagos state train bought from USA uid not brand new. The city had no money reason they resold to Lagos state.

Nigeria should ban for life those in this administration that put us in this massive debt. They have shown that they are incapable of making sound decisions for the progress of Nigeria.

We could easily fix the old ones and convert it to carry only haulage. This would made more sense than this nonsense embarked upon by this government.

You know 90% of obidients are below 25 yrs. What do they know about people and politics in Nigeria?

What do they know about Doyin Okupe? Even Obi, what do they know about him? They're poor students of History.

Doyin Okupe that was collecting bribes from political appointees and contractors at Villa, and Obasanjo had to fire him? He's become a St Obi-dient.

A medical doctor that abandoned his clinic in Ikoyi for corridor of power.

Now that Buhari has built a new rail from Lagos to Ibadan and it's running, what does he have to tell Obi?

Nonsense old fool.
