Nigeria's SGR operating speed is less than 100km/hr. Stop quoting the top speed as the operating speed. Your top speef is 100km/hr. Kenya's top speed is 160km/hr. Operating speed for passenger train is 120km/hr.

Lol, you are wrong. Actually, 844 Billion Naira is not 140 Billion Dollars but 2.7 Billion Dollars.

At Exactly 10:07 a.m. on Saturday, the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, made history when the SpaceX Falcon9 Rocket launched Birds 1 satellites, comprising 5 CubeSats belonging to Japan, Ghana, Mongolia, Nigeria and Bangladesh, into Space from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, USA.
The Nigerian CubeSat, code name NigeriaEdusat-1, is designed, built and owned by FUTA in collaboration with the National Space Research and Development Agency, NASRDA, Abuja, Nigeria, and Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. Ibukun Adebolu of FUTA’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is the representative of Nigeria on the project. The initial launch scheduled for Thursday June 1 was aborted due to adverse weather condition.
The satellite is expected to dock at the International Space Station, ISS, on June 5 at 10:30 a.m. Nigerian time. It is the first ever University satellite to be launched in Nigeria. From the International Space Station, the satellites will be deployed into lower orbit during the last week of June 2017.
The major objective of Nigeria Edusat-1 is capacity building, i.e. domesticating the satellite technology in a Nigerian university, FUTA, and making the technology a common business among staff and students of the university in Nigeria for the purpose of research, resources and environmental management and sustainable socio-economic development of the nation. The satellite technology development in the long run shall have spillover effects on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education that is an essential tool for a country industrial development.
Mr. Adebolu, who is involved in the Structure Configuration Design, BIRDS Project gives details of his role on the project, “My role in the Birds’ Project is Structure Design. Drawing on my background in Mechanical Engineering, I am saddled with the task of ensuring that our satellites have sufficient strength and rigidity to survive the rigorous launch and space environments. In order to achieve this, I have to ensure that all payload and Bus System are properly accommodated within the 10-cubic centimeter structure. I find this very challenging, because it involves a lot of optimisation and trade-offs. In the future, I hope to work more on other aspects of satellite design.”
The Vice Chancellor, Joseph Fuwape, said with the successful launch, FUTA has shown the capabilities of Nigerian scientists and would build on the success to concretize its leading position in cutting edge researches and scientific breakthroughs.

You have proven to be a drunkard really.

Abuja Kaduna railway is a fast rail, not your Mombasa Nairobi used for carrying goods. You are free to post what makes you happy but don't expect me to go over this with you.

The information you need is every where online.

I was making a study and I discovered that the type of capitalism practised in Nigeria and some other capitalist countries in Africa does not encourage development. Taking Dangote and his establishments in Nigeria as a case study, mostly in the area of cement production, I think he is enjoying too much monopoly which is not good for a developing country.

The funny thing is that he has the backing of the government, so who the government is for who then can be against? When there is monopoly of goods in a market, the owner of the means of production may increase the price any time he wishes, and since there are no alternates, the whole country gets affected, there was a particular scenario where one big business man imported cements to come sell, it posed a big challenge to Dangote, what did Dangote and his groups do? he reduced the price of his cement then to about #950 just to give the man a run for his money, the man in other to avoid running on a loss, pleaded with Dangote for him to buy his own from him for almost his cost price.

In my own point of view, monopoly kills competition, and competition kills development, a big country like Nigeria needs to be diversified and not allowing one person dominate the whole country, that's why when inflation occurs, the whole country gets affected! Although dangote has created lots of job opportunities for Nigerians, I think his form of monopoly is doing us more harm than good in this country, I think we are getting just one person enriched, why others keep going down...

This is basically my own opinion, so Nigerians and all lovers of wisdom, can I get your take on this issue?

Isn't the largest project in Nigeria being built by the Lebanese
Last I checked, our largest project is Konza Technocity, an initiative of the Government of Kenya

iblawi:


If those employed by Chinese contractors for the biggest project in Kenya's history still wake up from slums and walk to work, then there is no hope for native Kenyan.

This is a confirmation that Kenyans don't even live in the estates they post here. They are meant for foreigners while while they stay in close by slums.

NairobiWalker:

You're the drunk here. I gave you a link that confirms the speed of that rail and every source gives the same yet you expect us to believe the mere words of a liar like you? 100kph max for a passenger train is embarrassing at this time.

NairobiWalker:


Those trains carry more weight and travel faster than your trains and our tracks can support more tonnes annually than yours. Our stations will obviously function better than yours - Kenya doesn't have top notch maintenance culture but it's definitely way better than Nigeria.

Your third photo explains why you need to get your brain checked

Thank God it's 100kph and not 100kmph or 100km/h.

Useless dummy always looking for useless sources that makes him dumb.

NairobiWalker:


Yeah......I know you don't know what you're doing but that's a model of a light rail train. That's a child's play to SGR. It's like comparing a TOY Toyota corolla to Mercedes Benz Actross .....An effing TOY. Only a clueless idiot would do that.

how about working harder to assist kenya pay their life time debt to China and stop getting frustrated ur children may have issues in the future if u fail to pay for it now. your project is scam and the world knows that, u keeping bringing terrains , loads of goods when ever u have been busted about the prize ..Nigeria and Ethiopia have same worst terrains but could mange to bargain it with cheaper price and better quality and not rubbish station which can be built by any architects and builder with less than $1million ..." the most import aspect of a sgr is the tracks and trains and not stations as no passenger would want stay in a station for more than 10 minutes "me

68816419:

you should first pay Chinese contractors their $3.65 billions first, then now think about konza city then lapsset($30 billion ).

Kenyanstar:


Cant Nigerians make a point without using lies and half baked untruths...... I hate it when a nice thread is turned into a den of liars and thieves!! Stealing pictures from as far as Ghana and ivory coast. Pathetic.

Fidha254:
The first phase the lapsset project (3 berths in Lamu) are already 20% complete, fully funded by the government of Kenya the coast is $500 Million, plus over 300km of roads to connect to the port already built, the last kilometers will reach Lamu by the time the berths are complete..
money for the $2B 960MW lamu coal powerplant aready made available, plus feasibility study for the $2B 1000MW high grand falls damn that will supply the lapsset Lamu city with power and water is ongoing..
Remember the lapsset project is mostly in north and north-east of Kenya, our north east is just like your nigerian north east, terrorism from Somalia, but still, the biggest project in the history of Kenya is going there..

on Konza, they have already laid underground power cables, currently they are building the Headquaters for the agency that will be incharge of konza city......
A project like the $14B Konza city is not a fully funded government project, Just like those new cities you want or are building in Nigeria, they are bieng built on PPP model, e.g for Konza, the government will take care of infrastructure i.e. Water, Power, Fibre optic, planning, legislation then the private sector (Local and foreign) will now set up light industries, universities, headquaters, research institutes, and then the through this environment is when they expect local talent to be natured and create more industries and advance the development of the country, so the government will probably contribute like $4Billion to Konza, the rest will be done by the vibrant private sector that exists in Kenya

NairobiWalker:


Move along nigga. I prefer engaging people with brains. You always argue over nothing. More like thank God it's Kilometer and not km. I wonder whether you're just clueless or illiterate or never been out of your village or you're just a fool. I guess it's all that.

Nigerians boarding their new SGR train They are pushing to board, I guess they pay from the inside (so you book your space first)

And the guy who was trying to fool me that your SGR is entirely new. Third pic proves you're just being a pathetic liar

Just look at their stewardess?

What is she even doing there? No computers/ seats. Is it even an office ?

Well, the last pic is just for laughs! Those wagons thought they were meeting some new rail Unfortunately, they went to Nigeria
