Seems you need glasses: "Construction started..." This particular rehabilitation was supposed to take 10 months, but the govt. which GEJ was part of, stopped the momentum of work and was only forced to continue because OBJ made it difficult to stop. Now you are all here talking crap about GEJ's accomplishment without giving due credit to OBJ. Sincere 9gerian: |

koruji: Mumu dey worry you.LIES, LIES and more LIES. Abacha also signed contract for railway projects. So why didn't OBJ bring the project to completion when he came to power in 1999? Why wait till Oct 2006 to sign plethora of CONTRACTS. It seems OBJ was only good at signing contracts. You said GEJ is stealing. Shame on you. But he didn't steal the funds meant to rehabilitate Kano-Lagos rail line. What you master OBJ could not do in 8yrs has been done in 2yrs by GEJ. He didn't steal the funds meant for reconstruction of Benin-Ore road and other roads currently undergoing re-construction. Shame on you and other paid propagandists that only come online to remind us of contracts signed by OBJ and Lord Lugard. By the way, you dont need to see GEJ carrying shovel before you know he's working on a project. For instance, we read reports of progress of work on all the ongoing projects. We read reports of completed projects. We see pictures of completed projects. So show us such reports if they exist between Oct 2006 when contract was signed and May 2007 when your baba was sent packing. We know there's none 1 Like |

You just like listening to yourself, don't you. When I said he was stealing state govt. allocations that is because he simply refused to pay them their full allocations so he could pay petrol subsidies - without asking their permission. Get it now? The FG only recently paid back those illegal deductions. About all the other projects you are talking about, what do you think is the excuse being made for the $9 billion I just mentioned to you. They are borrowing this money in the name "completing" road projects. Sincere 9gerian: |

koruji: Seems you need glasses: "Construction started...""suspend it: "On 30 October 2006 President Olusegun Obasanjo signed a contract with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation [4] to modernise the Lagos to Kano railway line" Now this further exposes how IGNORANT you are in this matter. The contract you'v been talking about was to MODERNISE the Lagos-Kano rail line,ie construction of Lagos-kano STANDARD guage rail line. That was why the cost of the project was $8billion and loan needed. Now the FACT today is that not even one naira work has been done on Lagos-kano standard guage rail line. OBJ did not do ANY WORK on the project. It remained on paper till TODAY. The present govt awarded a section of the project (ie Lagos-Ibadan standard guage rail line) late last year at $1.5billion to the same Chinese company. As we speak, I'm not sure contractors have mobilized to site. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/fg-ccecc-sign-1-5b-lagosibadan-rail-project/ What the Yar Adua govt and subsequently GEJ did was to rehabilitate the existing but moribund NARROW guage rail lines. One of which is the Lagos-kano narrow guage rail line which was restored back to life on 24th December 2012. Billions of dollars was not spent on this one. The Lagos-kano route for instance was done with N24billion. No loan was needed too. So get your facts right to avoid disgracing your pay masters. 2 Likes |

koruji: You just like listening to yourself, don't you.Even before money was borrowed, ongoing projects were and are progressing well. I hope you know every money, whether borrowed or not, is first appropriated by the NASS. So even if the money was borrowed, its immaterial provided WORK is going on. By the way, your masters in Lagos have also being borrowing money but many of their projects are unending. The Lagos light rail project has not been completed after 6yrs of BRF reign, not forgetting Tinubu's wasted 8yrs. So what has been happening to the loan for the project? 1 Like |

You are the one missing the point. If the Chinese were only meant to do construction what are they doing on the rehabilitation. It was part of a package - you are right that Abacha first awarded the contract for rehabilitating Nigeria's railways to the Chinese but nothing happened. OBJ built on that effort by recalling the Chinese and putting together a comprehensive contract making sure they started work, and then the Yar'adua/GEJ government came in and put a stop to everything. You are obviously right that the GEJ administration has done nothing on the reconstruction aspect - and if you recall my main original complaint was that jumping up and down over a train service that moves you at only about twice the speed of horseback riding is amusing. All I am saying is that this is not transformation, and that if you are going to praise GEJ for continuing the work, after being part of a government that stopped it in the first place, then OBJ who actually made sure work got started deserves part of that "pitiful" praise.

I find this koruji character amazing. He is on every thread where GEJ is mentioned sweating profusely in his attempt to convince people what a bad person GEJ is. Looking at this performance I have to wonder why this much effort? Are his sponsors getting worried that the veil of lies they weave is falling apart.

Everyone in the country knows that GEJ is an incompetent scumbag. In every measure of governance he is failing. Security Health Economy Etc, etc The st.upid man cannot even finish the rebasing of the GDP that was supposed to be finished years ago. Everything he does is a disaster. No one in the government respects him, or listens to him. True patriots like Ngozi are doing their best to keep Jonathan from sinking the entire ship. If after three years as president, you are still promising and promising, then it is time for you to go. Insicere9gerian, I know GEJ puts money in your pocket, so I can't blame you for your unpatriotic actions. May god bless you and keep you from going hungry. |

You are obviously drunk with your own lies. "Every" thread where GEJ is mentioned? How many would that be now? It may seem to you like hate because you are enamored by power. I don't see the great Nigeria of my dreams under a GEJ presidency. I don't hate him - hate is a strong word and you need to stop using it. But I am going to speak my truth the way I see it. Basically, rather than be transformational, president GEJ is a run-of-the-mill Nigerian politician. [size=14pt]It is even more annoying because his animal-farm-squealers deliberately come here to claim credit for him that is not his. Even when I give praise to GEJ, which I do when deserved, it is not enough for the praise-singers. Nobody else in Nigeria must receive part of the praise. It has to be absolute, complete, like praying to the almighty. Such a leader and his mouth-pieces lead their nations to disaster.[/size] Tigerhead: I find this koruji character amazing.

koruji: You are the one missing the point."It was part of a package - youare right that Abacha first awarded the contract for rehabilitating Nigeria's railways to the Chinese but nothing happened. OBJ built on that effort by recalling the Chinese and putting together a comprehensive contract making sure they started work" So that was all your OBJ could do in 8yrs? "OBJ built on that effort by recalling the Chinese". What a shame. Well, courtesy of GEJ the trains are BACK in just under 3yrs. If you dont like that, go commit suicide. POINT OF CORRECTION: I didn't say GEJ has done nothing on railway modernization. I was refering to Lagos-Kano standard guage line which OBJ awarded few months before he packed out of Aso Rock. Atleast, GEJ has also signed contract for Lagos-Ibadan standard guage rail line. Since you now celebrate OBJ for signing contract, celebrate GEJ too. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. But the DIFFERENCE is that while OBJ signed his own contract when has already packed his bag to leave Aso Rock, GEJ signed his own early in his administration allowing time for the project to COMMENCE and reach appreciable level. In addition, GEJ did not only sign contracts, work is going on at the moment on the Abuja-Kaduna standard guage rail line. The line is part of the modern Lagos-kano line. The Lagos-Ibadan standard line which contract was awarded last year will stretch to Abuja to link up with the Abuja-Kaduna line. The Abuja-Kaduna line will later be extended to Kano, completing the Lagos-Ibadan-Abuja-Kaduna-kano modern rail line. Work on the Abuja-Kaduna standard rail line has reached 50% completion. 1 Like |

koruji: You are obviously drunk with your own lies. "Even when I give praise to GEJ, which I do when deserved, it is not enough for the praise-singers" POINT OF CORRECTION: nobody wants you to praise GEJ. Tinubu's APC does not pay you to praise GEJ. They pay you to diminish all of his programmes and achievements. So DO YOUR WORK. The only thing some of us detest is the use of NAKED LIES in the course of doing your job. If in threads like this you dont have fact to promote Tinubu's agenda, you simply waka pass. If you make any attempt to LIE, you'll have some of us to contend with. You call us "praise singers". Well, the opening article was not written by me or a Nigeria media. It is was written 2 or 3days ago by GlobalPost. What I did was copy and paste. If that is praise singing, all well and good. You forgot you also do praise singing when Fashola commissions street lights and drainages. When you do that, some of us do not toil all night trying to prove to you that it is wrong for a state governor to be commissioning street lights. The opposite of praise singing is BAD BELLE, which is what you always have when you see GEJ. Shame on you. By the way, I hope you saw the thread on how Lagos state govt failed to install even one of the phantom 10,000 CCTV cameras? Your masters in Alausa claim FG did not give them the clearance to do the project. But you were the same person that laboured on a 3 pages thread trying to prove to us how Fashola installed 10,000 cameras. I told on that thread that you'r a DEVILISH LIAR but as usual you went on and on posting all manner of links and youtube links. Well, in the end, fowl yansh don open. Your masters, you so shamelessly defend on this forum, denied ever fixing any 10,000 camera. This is how hopeless your situation is. You say one thing here, while ogas at Alausa say a different thing. You should be apologizing profusely if you had any shame or honour. But we all do not expect apologies from people who have sold their soul to the devil. 2 Likes |

koruji: "Your OBJ"? You obviously like discussing with youself as I said earlier. GEJ was a nobody until that "your OBJ" brought got him the VP slot...You should be shamed terribly ashamed of yourself for derailing this thread with a USELESS contract signed by OBJ 6months before leaving office. That USELESS $8billion railway modernization contract remained on paper, same as the contract for Second Niger Bridge which OBJ signed few days to leaving office and other USELESS contracts. In case you dont know, the sister line of the completed Lagos-kano narrow guage rail line, ie the eastern narrow guage rail line rehabilitation is still ongoing and is yet to achieve 50% completion. The target is to complete it this year. When it is completed and commissioned, I also expect you come up contract papers signed by Lord Lugard in 1900. Fool! You can continue arguing with yourself because I'll not respond to your silly line of thought again. |

I hope you saw the contract sum- a whopping $8billion contract, signed 6months before he left office. How does OBJ expect his successors to cope with such USELESS contract? What was OBJ doing between 1999 and 2006? Sleeping on duty? Nonsense! |
