This man mouth big, why not complete that Mono rail in PHC especially teh bit in front of govt office cos its now a national treasure mayB we might just take you serious.

blarkraimez:

Mr right, did you check the part where they said" it will cover all the seaport enroute? What of the fact that those people that will construct it are expartrate and dia charges will be different? What of the raw materials,can ds nation boast of all the rawmaterial to finance ds project.....add up the import rates, expatrate and Nigeria factor. And tell me ao on earth it will be the same thing with dos ones you showed earlier. A

Kia Oga 2016 you still believe these thiving politicians

On day you'll wake up from your slumber and that which you dread the most would have happened. That:
1. Nigeria would have become greater, stronger & more united than ever.
2. Muhammadu Buhari GCON would become the greatest president Nigeria would have ever had.

Is it then you will join the train of CHANGE?
Repent for the wind of change is in cause!

rejosom:
Buhari dey tyrant

Was this another route Goodluck Jonathan planned to steal $5billion from this phony project? Why is PMB not revising the contract? Who now takes the extra 4 - 5$ billion, because we all know it wont cost 11.2Billion>

Before you all crucify me. Kindly look at the average cost of Chinese Construction of railines from the well respected Railway Finance website http://www.railway-technical.com/finance.shtml

This is not an underground rail line neither is it a high-speed. Let us even assume it is high speed, we are looking at $10 million per kilometer.

Even at the price, if we take 800km to be the total distance, we are looking at $8billion at most. Who steals the remaining $5 billion?

Nigeria is a dead country. I continue to say this. We are a dead nation. Even after "spending" all that money we may not even see the rail way. Just imagine what someone is planning to steal in the name of change?

Again, I repeat, Nigeria is sunken ship. We are a dead nation. No hope for a corrupt cesspit!

I'm sorry but you're wrong.
First of all, you didnt even take into account the type of terrain we have in Nigeria.
Secondly, that thing you took a screenshot of from google maps is NOT the path of the rail way. Gogle maps just takes the shortest existing route. Its being designed to go through all the major cities and is not just going to be "748km" but 1,402km.
I understand that it is good to be critical of a government but ask questions about things you dont know about, rather than making assumptions like that.
Even if you dont support the party of the president, you should be able to commend good works.
As far as I'm concerned, this was a very good deal.

Not to critisize but to ask you few questions so that you educate us. Are you saying that government will not pay compensation? knowing fully well that the rail lines will pass through many settlements, plantations and farm lands.
This project is about construction of the rail lines is government not going to buy the trains. I am thinking that the remaining balance would be use for the payment of compensation and purchase of train couches and engines

Jorussia:
.This is another testimony that this administration is a scam. The construction of this railway will provide jobs to thousands of Nigerians.I strongly believe in the determination of this administration to reposition Nigeria for economic and infrastructural greatness.

Please, rephrase

He's misinforming you, the railway is 1402 and not 748km long. Check my last post.

princetom1:


Please, rephrase

I think he was being sarcastic. This will provide about 30,000 jobs for Nigerians. Yet some people choose to see the dark side only

Jorussia:
this project has been in the pipeline since the administration of obj.GEJ was unable to put the counter fund of Nigeria into the budget. This is the only administration that has provided funds for its execution in the budget.

Oga your hate for GEJ would not make U reason proper, plz explain to me how does MOU translate into money

Crieff:
What sort of rail line are these people building for $11bn?

Does this include the train itself?

How can you build a rail line for $11bn?

you know where that rail line go pass na, the soil condition

Please leave the guy, he didn't even read what he shared. I pray God give him comprehension ability. Amen

I don't know how the words in bold corresponds to ur overall comment... Bruce, I know u are trying to make common sense

2 year? That will be a record to beat. Lets pray it goes succesfully

jmoore:
I hope the project gets completed on time.

I hope so, too. But two years is optimistic. It could well take up to five years. That is if they're serious. Otherwise, it could take forever.

jmoore:
I hope the project gets completed on time.

It cannot be completed in that time span but it is a great development. Rail is a far better mode of transport and its advantages are simply incalculable. For one, it will prolong the lifespan of our roads and reduce the overal cost of production. Good news for the economy.

Jorussia:

plz point me to it, and from what you are saying how can you budget when you do not have the total?

Boscojugunu:
Change is here to stay. It might be slow, but believe me we will surely get there. But what about the 60 billion naira budgeted for the project. Someone should please explain where that is going to

Onshore expenses, compensation, insurance and......embezzlement of course. Wetin concern you.

This is a great milestone in the anals of Nigeria. Kudos to Goodluck Jonathan who originated the project for Buhari to execute.

Can someone follow up on this dude's cost analysis? There has to be accountability.

nextstep:
China just banking on Nigeria (and Africa) this decade...

First it was Western Europe, then North America, then Eastern Europe, then Asia & India. I wonder who we will turn to in 30 years to develop our country, Latin America? Anybody except ourselves right? SMH

Currently, we don't have any Nigerian owned Civil Engineering company large enough to take on this project.
We're not relying on China per se, its a Chinese owned Civil Engineering company. They have a branch in Africa and have been taking on many projects for a long time.

You calculation is off and stop this comparing projects as there are so many things to consider and as for Lagos/Calabar the distance is 1402km or 871 miles.

Thank God that some people have answered you well. Your calculation was based on normal straight path without water and soil texture considerations.

Its 1402 km long. Don't mind him. Scroll up a little and check my post

Baba I tire but actually china did not develop themselves the soviets and u.s.a did.

Difference is leadership, the Chinese learnt all they could, sent their citizens to the west and eastern blocs and when they came back home they put them straight to working on developing china.

In naija even when the harvard educated peeps come back na only to thief dey their mind
