And some fools will be expecting we vote back PDP that left the few rail line we had in the country to roit. At times i wonder if the brain of this igbo people is functional.

udemzy101:


Stop posting nonsense, rehabilitation of the rail system started with the former government, so what are you saying?

Is it now a crime for the present administration to continue from where they stop?

...u typ with an intuition I am.PDP..must every thing b about party..? if that's how u are wired that's not same for me..for.me, I tink buhari's biggest mistake on economy was to reject international loan for infrastructure development in d face of recession. also the ppl against his loans are not also wrong cuz he showed very high tendencies towards ethnicity,nepotism,favouratism..infact..buhari still lives in the nigeria of old divided by ethnicity..he is not fit for president!

I know. Jonathan repaired the narrow gauge from Lagos to Kano and PH to Maiduguri. He then built Abuja to Kaduna standard gauge, even though OBJ conceived the project.
The point is that we shouldn't make it seem like Buhari is doing anything extraordinary.

..a father with 3 children that chooses to always favour a particular child nd neglecting the others is actually doing good in the fact that he is investing in his child nd nit drinking away all his money instead of training the child...but then the father is a fool cuz he might end up not having a child at all..cuz one sidedness and favouritm.will eventually lead those children to war with them.self.nd mayb his favourite child be killed and all his investment wasted..fashola is likened to that foolish father of three...u call his strides good cuz it favours ur zone,hence the same reason..the igbos fought a war with nigeria and still wants out....tribalistic minister is who he is and MINISTER OF LAGOS!!!!!

The Brits only thought us to speak English and we are still satisfied with that, reason why we have lots of teachers without classroom on NL.

...northerners didn't vote Jonathan, but they got their fair share of development, South westerners didn't vote obj,but they got their fair share of development..presidency is a neutralisation point and nothing a place to show ethnicity...he could hv contested for a state govt position where he can freely show this...if u stand with him on this issue, then I know ur senses are incomplete

We cannot keep blaming our independence as a result of failure in all sectors. It takes a curious mind to find pragmatic solution to problems. That's where we as a people are lacking in that regard.

To make matter worst, the technology behind this type railway engineering has been existing for centuries. It can be termed as legacy. I don't think anybody or organisation still holds patent for some of it basic components and structural design. Therefore our engineers can come together, brainstorm and handle project like this effectively.

Offpoint:

It hurts to our too much dependency on the whites. year in and year out we are producing graduates from every sector of our educational system, but with nothing to show for it.
Medically: we depend on the whites
Technologically we depend on the white
Agriculturally we depend on the white
Even the so education, the best one you can get is from the white.
How we it continues? most of the song call lecturers are worried about sex. 95% person of what they should have make research on and teach their students... they make it an assignment. it's a pity.

Offpoint:

My question is "why aren't they doing that?" why aren't they robbing minds together? are they self-defeated? or they the lack the resource to do so?
how can they that do that when the challenge the government should thrown to them they take to the whiteman and leaving our engineers docile and unfruitful.
if they constantly see jobs to handle they'll improve... that's what I think. if you don't put what you learn to practice it becomes useless to you and your surroundings.

You're right on point, the corruption and incompetency in the educational system is at per with what is in the political system, most times I wonder why no one is paying attention to that.
The standard has gone so low that lecturers prefer to print books and sell to students against the standard practice of using published textbooks as it is in sane climes. I was surprised when my lecture bought a car with the grant he got for research, the other used it for his wedding.
To make it worst, when these people talk of educational reform what they actually mean is for more money to be made available for spending.

Was there any politics of bitterness?

Did anybody go as far as protesting loans for such infrastructural growth?

Did people request as Ohaneze and Massob did that appointments should be declined?

Was there a vehement dissent to every capital investment to be made ?

Did Abaribe not go on the floor of the house to reject the same rail network which had earlier been accepted saying it didn't touch enough Igbo communities even when the one debated was better negotiated and improved upon by additional igbo cities?

Were many of you not egging him on?

It's time to think about what you stand for.

bigpicture001:
..adeosun decision for the FG not to go for loan was never made for her..nobody informed her decision...what u are saying is wen d FG in its budget application to the NASS allocated a huge amount of money to railway spanning some specific route,that after the president has shown for over two years that he is not concerned with the world country..y won't the national assembly and concerned groups protest...if u don't know..the budget money is gotten from FG's share of proceeds from oil.and collections by the FIRS....these collections affect everyone..nd u can't tell them.to shut up for not voting for u,yet take their mony and development everywhere aside thier states....plz guy..av replied u much and am still enjoying it...but wen u start getting unreasonable cuz u want to side a party or a foolish man that's wen I will have a rethink..if u know me,then u have met the most "just" person in.Nigeria....
