I am not defending the government, if you go through my replies you will see that I stated that there is need to make an in-depth research into why the price difference exists to decide whether the government inflated the price or not.

You can’t just jump into conclusion based on the topic without carrying out some proper findings to unravel the true facts. I’m not saying the government can’t inflate the price, we are in Nigeria and we know anything goes here, but still we need to understand situation perfectly before jumping into conclusion.

A lot of things can lead to the price difference which is what I’m Envisaging and until that is established you can’t just go about blaming the minister just based on a headline without facts.

Will u shut that compost pit u call mouth and refute his claims with facts? U had to resort to insults because he debunked your outrageous and poorly researched gibberish right?

Nigerians have suffered absence of quality leader, any little achievement will seem like cloud nine.

Nigerians are clapping for Ameachi because he's doing an incredible job as a transport minister, its not about who's financing d project. Almost all projects in africa is largely financed by China.

I wonder if you, or anyone else who has referred on here to possible differences in terrain, have ever bothered to actually check out Ethiopia's terrain in comparison with SW Nigeria's? Because if you had, you'd know that Ethiopia is a much more mountainous country, thanks to the Rift Valley running through eastern Africa. That being the case, terrain would be a reason for the Ethiopian line to be more expensive, not less.

There's something ridiculous about the manner in which people on here reflexively defend anything done by "their" party, no matter how glaringly problematic it may be: it's not as if only supporters of one of the two main parties will exclusively bear the costs of servicing these loans, so what is to be gained by such efforts (unless one is being paid for doing so)? Even if it's true that the cost of the railway line under Amaechi is $800 million less than it was under GEJ, how does that establish that it still isn't wildly overpriced, albeit by less than before? That's as senseless as saying corruption in Nigeria ended after Abacha because no one after him established so many secret overseas accounts.

There are real questions to be answered here, and to pretend otherwise is simply to bury one's head in the sand like an ostrich.

Oga, see, getting projects from China is the easiest of all jobs if loan is approved.

What is incredible about getting China to execute a project in your country on loan?

Anybody, even you, can do it easily and without much noise.

Amaechi is just loud. Others did it easily with little or no noise.

1) STELLA ODUAH (GEJ's minister of Aviation) did it for Lagos, Abuja, PH and Kano new airport terminals.

2) Sen Idris Umar (GEJ's minister of Transport) did it for Abuja - Kaduna rail line

3) Sen Bala Muhammed (GEJ's minister of FCT) did it for Abuja MetroLine

getting a loan for project from China is actually easy, executing d project is the problem. That's where Ameachi stand out among all these people u mentioned.

1....Stella Oduah received a $400m loan for 4 new airport terminals, how many were constructed? What was d end of Stella Oduah?

2.....Idris Umar received loan from China for d abj/kad rail line in 2010, why can't they complete d project? Why did d project lingered till 2017 before completion, 7years after obtaining d loan?

3.... dont even talk about abuja metro line. That one even took longer than abj/kaduna rail line to complete, despite being 44km only.

So, it's not about receiving d loan only... its about executing d project. Construction of Lagos/ibadan rail line started in June 2017, its almost complete...

That's d difference.

You missed it.
Let me step in to throw more light

China no longer gives cash money as loans to African countries.
You're wrong to state that Stella Oduah received $400m .... no sir, she did not receive any money.

All Chinese loans are delivered as projects and executed by Chinese contractors - CCECC or CRCC.
It's simple, the benefiting country simply identifies a project, pay 15% counterparts fund upfront while China absorbs the balance of 75% by delivering the projects to completion using their companies - CCECC or CRCC. Simple!

The Chinese govt had completed Stella Oduah's new international airport terminals in Lagos and Kano since 2015 while Abuja was ongoing. They moved to PH in 2016.

The Abuja-Kaduna railway was also completed since 2015 except for the Idu Station because of a land ownership legal battle between NRC and the Catholic Church. Also, the coaches for the route arrived late during Buhari's tenure..

Chinese govt does not abandon projects. Some projects may delay slightly but China will complete them because it's a loan contract. Amaechi does not need to visit project sites for pictures before China does their work.

Thanks for educating these zombies

Parada:
You n your entire household must perish from lie. Which terminal did Stella did in Lagos PH n Kano ?

Here is the only airport terminal Stella Oduah commissioned during the 6 years of Ebele Jonathan n she ended turning the Owerri port into a seaport.

No one is being educated your guy is lying just like you. Posted is the only airport Stella Oduah commissioned during her 6 years as minister. The trio of Abuja PH n Maduguiri is commissioned by Buhari with nothing to do with Oduah or PDP.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/06/faan-closes-lagos-international-airport-apron-gate1-for-6-weeks/
Lagos new terminal just under construction after first four years of Buhari n cursed PDP supporters are already claiming what it foundation as not be laid.

Bro, how old are you and when did you start following Nigerian politics?
Replying your type is a waste of time based on what you wrote above.

Go through all Buhari's budgets from 2015 and tell me if airport terminals was ever his priority.
Did Buhari know how those airport terminals projects came about?

The only aviation minister that prioritise airport terminals was Stella Oduah (GEJ)
Apart from domestic airport terminals remodelling, GEJ's govt signed a loan deal with China to deliver four new international terminals in Lagos, Abuja, PH and Kano.The Chinese govt through CCECC has been working on these projects since 2013.

China had nearly completed the Lagos terminal since 2015. They have delivered PH and Abuja too. Kano was nearly completed since 2015.

Oga, the Chinese govt (not Buhari) is funding the new airport terminals projects through a loan deal negotiated by STELLA ODUAH during GEJ's regime. GEJ's govt also paid the 15% counterparts funds.

Buhari did not know anything about how these projects came about.

Same with Abuja-Kaduna railway, Abuja MetroLine railway and Itakpe - Warri railway.

Exactly ...terrain inclusive

jamjo:

He may be lazy youth but the fact of the matter is the Nigerian rail project is inflated, it is a daylight robbery defend it all you want.
Ethiopia/Djibouti line is Electric, 759km, 115km double tracks, 68 Viaducts bridges, 21 stations with three tracks or more (except the one station which has only two tracks). Lagos/Ibadan is not in the swap.
