The fact is that despite all her problems, Nigeria is developing, and gradually becoming a modern, 21st century nation. At the rate we're going, this country will look very different in the next 20 to 30 years.

Bro with hunger strike, I see people buying cars and building houses everyday I was around sweet sensation on Sunday, you need to see customers so many there weren't any seat available. Then I ask myself with all this said hunger, how do people cope by spending so much? why aren't they saving all.ths money to buy food stuff at home. There is hardship yes,but people still spending like no tomorrow.

This single issue is a major impediment. Reminds me how GEJ played politics with the Lagos Metro Rail Red Line.


Investors were ready with over 1 billion dollars to invest for the construction of the Red Line from Lagos to Ogun state, but GEJ refused to approve the Iddo station right off way which frustrated the investors till they eventually gave up...

Funny enough, Lagos state started this Metro Rail dream over 30 years ago, they broke ground and stationed heavy equipment in Yaba and even paid millions of dollars which the state lost after the FG refused to guarantee the loan and forex for the projects and this was done by the same PMB as the head of state.

Same way OBJ frustrated Tinubu's 271MW IPP which was the 1st IPP in Nigeria. Imagine Lagos state today without FG's bad bele, lack of vision and foresight and crass tribalism. I see many more Metro rail and fully developed rail system in Lagos state without that shameful and anti progress intervention by the FG 30 years ago and even Lagos state with many more IPPs today if not for the same shortsighted FG bad bele and frustration.


The only silver lining is the fact that Lagos state did not give up on their Metro rail dream, they just picked the right time to dust off their plans and resume work on the same project 30 years later..

Lagos state is not short of good and visionary leaders, the problem is always the FG.

That's the real money maker: projected to ferry over 2 million passengers (N200-N500m) or more, a day.


This country will never progress until we change all of them 1950/1960s laws; from power to rail, procurement, and e.t.c. -- phewww!

Can you share with us how the:

a) 3 Senators
b) 10 Representatives

from Lagos state in NASS dealt with this alleged federal impediment at the legislative level?
Assuming that your story is not false, GEJ would still be a venerable Saint compared to Buhari who cancelled Jakande's metro line in 1984 after jailing the poor man and paying breach of contract fines in a depressed economy.
As for Tinubu and Obasanjo on Enron barge scandal, they were simply playing politics with their foolish fellow citizens. Are they not waving their APC broom together now?
Open up to the reality, bro.
Don't let yourself be deceived any longer.

how old are you
Buhari were to
blame for the failed metro-rail
project, which Alhaji Lateef Jakande initiated to
solve the traffic problem in the
metropolis in 1983.it was buhari who ordered the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN) not to
release N70 million mobilisation
fund for the metro line project. Buhari Deliberately Killed Lagos –
Calabar Rail Project. He Did Same
With Lagos Metro, Buhari
omitting the Coastal Rail line
project from Lagos to Calabar in
the 2016 budget was NEVER an
omission, but a deliberate act to
punish the region that he hates to
a fault.... ur Messiah buhari stopped this project 32years ago... indomie generation

1. The story is not false. GEJ even stalled giving the guarantee on the world bank loan at a stage in this current project during the Fashola regime. But I trust as a GEJ blind desciple, google is not your friend http://www.nigerianeye.com/2012/11/federal-govt-stopped-world-bank-from.html
2. For someone to see GEJ as a venerable saint opens up another dimension of corruption. Is yours a spiritual side?

seguno2:


Do you mind explaining how the same World Bank loan that was said to have been blocked finally got spent by the same Fashola?
