Mumu. No brain.

Tell us what the British did in their 70 year rule.

Name the industries they built. Name the roads, expressways and infrastructure they built.

Are you aware they did not build ONE single power plant in Nigeria? Or even a national power grid?

KAINJI dam was our first power plant commissioned in 1964 by the Balewa administration.

Are you aware they did not build a single university in Nigeria, compared to the 250+ universities we have today?

They was no public education. Literacy rate was 5% at independence, compared to 75% today.

The only reason you stupid pea brain can type and read and write is that blacks came to power and built THOUSANDS of public schools across Nigeria, which educated you.

If the British were still in charge, you would today be a village illiterate palmwine tapper like your grandpa was under colonial rule, so STFU you self hating asswipe.


Thank you!!!

This is quite commendable even though the Eastern Corridor should have been constructed with the standard Guage instead of this narrow Guage...



The train stations should equally be reconstructed with cutting edge designs, make we know say Tinubu truly means his words of not marginalizing the east in his administration.
story, tail way was constructed in other regions with stranded guage nothing for the south east and South south , when they complaind they started refurbishing old narrow guage for them after over 5 years

Nothing to celebrate here. North & West both have standard gauge rail line.. what they are doing in the East is narrow gauge line which is far slower.

One country two system.
This head slammer what are you foaming in the mouth for?
Are you not one of the ardent supporters of Buhari and Tinubu because they are of your religion? Now you are crying because this one has touched you directly. What do you have to say about Obolo Afor/Benue Road in your Nssuka area?
One by one everyone that supports evil will reap from it. Same way you shall reap violence by terrorist herdsmen in your villages in Nsukka
because of your support for terrorist Hamaz.

You are very stupid and ignorant.

The British were maximum looters who came here to loot, which is the ONLY reason for colonialism.

Instead of being a stupid slave happy to be colonised, you should be asking why your country was an undeveloped bush in 1960 after they had ruled for 70 years uninterrupted and exporting your resources.

Mumu people.
Keep quiet this small boy. If not for the British you would still be living in the caves and muds, roaming without clothing and not knowing that malaria is caused by mosquitos.
You should be thanking the white man, buy him a bottle of coke or beer whenever you see him, for bringing the black timid and uncivilised race to modernity.
The black man is black even in his heart. He lacks the capacity to govern himself and sees political power as an avenue to enrich himself, his cronies, tribesmen and religion.
Tell me why there is a new railway lines of standard gauge in the West and North even upto Niger Republic, but you are doing rehabilitation for those in the South South and South East using narrow gauge of 1918.

What's the latest on this project? I think work was totally stop at some point on the project and I read somewhere the project is now ongoing



Here in Rivers state, it's going on at a super fast pace. I don't know what the contractors were promised if they completed the project in time.

Blacks also sold themselves and were very much active in the trade. Some even refused to stop the slave trade after it was abolished.

There can be no progress and development in a place where there's no peace and there's daily shedding of the blood of innocent people by terrorists.

Rivers traditionally falls under Old Eastern region. That is why the rail line is called Eastern rail line.

They should link the routes to all the companies in Aba as previously done before the breakdown. Unilever, PZ, Johnson, Equitable etc have tracks inside the factories for the transportation of finished goods. That was what made Aba special. Aba had well connected Gas lines and train tracks to Factories.
same in Lagos back then.but Since that selfish man Dangote introduced trailers and trucks everything changed.

But south Africa under Mandela Mbeki built Guatrain the only speed train ๐Ÿš† in Africa today. Same SA built many cities such as Centurion Brakenfell etc that are with superior amenties compare to what the White left. Even Sowete is now a developed city unlike the ghetto it use to be under the whites so you have no shii on the black South Africans stay on what Nigerian have built especially from your tribe what city in Alaigbo can be compared to Centurion for example ? If there is none how many years decades or millennium will you igbos need to build a single city to the standard of centurion ?

Only after you have accomplished that can you open your foolish hate filled bigoted Igbo mouth n disparage the effort of others.


My tribe , how? I'm not ibo. ฤ˜ ti mu shฤ™pฤ™ yin as usual. It doesn't make you think legibly I know grin. Everyone can't be gullible as you are

Visit OR Thambo, built by colonialists, which remains one of the best in Africa till today. Maybe you'd reason differently. The SWETO you mentioned...are you aware its an acronym given by colonialists? They developed SA. Another thing to commend the indigenous people for is their futuristic mind but they've not done one-fourth of what the colonialists left behind.

Same Nigerians bank managers are resigning to become care and factory workers in the UK - all minimum wage jobs.
Did it happen during colonialism?
The latter had professionals leaving the West to come back to Nigeria and settle.
Rate the before and after yourself
That is the only area you think they did better when we were under them.

If they have develop Nigeria Maybe we would have better off today but they succeeded in exploiting our resources for their selfish interest.

They were so in a haste to take over, not because they had any plans or knew what governance meant. They just wanted it because of greed and corruption

After they took over from the British they couldn't do anything new.

Today see were independence landed us.
