To which person benefit?

Buhari is ready to do anything to please his kinsmen @ the detriment of the larger populace.

How can Nigeria build rail to Niger,,, it doesn't make any sense nah... But this govt can do anything impossible in human sight

I'm telling you, of all countries. What value does Niger add to Nigeria?

LOSKYXANDER:
And they have not completed a single rail from Lagos to Onitsha.....how did I end up in this country?

am unending it very soon

Lol....They will always have excuse.


So we can have more inflow of Fulani from Niger into Nigeria.

flyingpig:
Oh in that case, Fulani's across Niger republic should just trek with their sticks to the border point and book a train ride from Maradi down to Kano state, file for Local government identification letter by speaking Fulfude as pre-requisite. Then in 2023 presidential elections Kano will produce 7million votes.

Too much blood dey hot in this country, any stupid act or result in 2023 will be risky to the countries stability

Wetin dey the border?

What economic importance does building the railway to the border with Niger bring?

Railway yo ends of the earth.

rottennaija:
Some people will still shake their heads

me already shaking mia hear

Steewpid thinking from steewpid governance.

Rail line from kano and maradi = Direct expressway for the terrorist into Nigeria

How much does trading between Nigeria and Niger republic add to the country?... This one is a useless project considering the country finance

Before boarder closure most of the foreign rice, mineral oil we consume are from Niger Republic. Donkeys, and other domestic animals are being imported to balance meat demand in the nation. Dawanau food stuff market in Kano is the largest in Africa and foodstuffs like seasame, groundnut, soyabeans, millet are exported in large quantity from Kano to Niger, Libya, Morocco and many other African countries.
Nigerian food business provide citizens with more than $70b annually far more than oil, oil is more important for foreign exchange to government and foreign business.
The problem with us in Nigeria is we hate to see others develop, we're so selfish indeed!

May God just help us with this Government. Excuses we get for attacks was that people from Niger are responsible for it.

Now, this government thought it wise to also provide train that will hasten the attack.

How did I find myself in Nigeria? One question, I just don't have answers to.

I thought that as much.

Just imagine, can't see the economic benefit of this project, all I see is someone using our common wealth to the benefit of his kith and
kin on the other side.

So northern Nigeria doesn't feed this country? Like they always claim rather we import from other African countries using their borders?...

Train for cows

Do we even have leaders that think?,oh my God,how did my parents ended up in this shithole country full of unrèsonable leaders?.When there's no road from Enugu to River state,no road from Anambra to Enugu state.No good road from Lagos to ogun State,abee ogun oyo nko?.my brother idey confused now

These are part of the stupid policies that these useless government make only to waste the scarce resources of this country then turning to start milking us dry by restricting and stealing from our Dom accounts like what is happening currently, and then increasing tariff and taxes.
When foolish people are at the helm of affairs, these are the useless things they make.

Of what economic value is a railway to Niger republic running into billions of dollars have to add to Nigeria economy?

Aforxzy:
Hmmm. What's value will this add to our economy ??.

It'll facilitate human trafficking by esterners and Edo people who always suffer at desert when trying to pass through Niger to Libya in their effort to reach Europe.

What is the economic significance of Niger to Nigeria Buhari, be kiafu

BigSarah:

Trade between the two nations is quite substantial. There's also plan to make them use our ports for export since they are a landlocked country. It is not a foolish idea.

What of Lagos to PH passing through, ogun, ondo, Edo, delta, onitsha, Imo, Aba to PH even reach calabar . is too much for them Idi Ala

Daddysidhan:
It's getting clearer that buhari has a devilish agenda for this country, closing the southern border but building railway into Niger republic. Benin Republic is much more economically viable than Niger republic

All Northern boarders are closed for almost a year and PMB asked all northerners who import through land boarder to come through water and now u're saying southern boarder is closed. The main reason Lagos revenue is increasing is because of land boarder closure. Ungrateful people, when Lagos railway was under construction we didn't complain, we appreciate it but now he's building for us u're angry. Everything good in the North u complain, very selfish set of creature, extremely selfish who always think negative about everything.

What's its benefits when the border is closed?

tot:
What's the difference?

God bless you, my point exactly... when there is no rail across the south

Some times when I look at this government, I just pity Nigerians

Islamisation in process. Making the country porous 4 invaders. A Nigerien(Rep. Of Niger) is more a brother than an igbo man as far as a hausa man is concern.

Mr Garbp Shehu, any more lies??!

Arrewa:
The obvious economic rationale is to encourage Niger to make Apapa port its main port for import/export using Lagos - Kano Rail line.

Whoever has the most efficient Rail System to deliver move goods and services between the targeted countries and the Atlantic Ocean takes the biggest pie of International trade from them.

Niger can never leave cotonuo port for Nigeria because of its duty which is far cheaper than Nigerian. The time it takes to clear out goods in Nigeria port is another factor.

LOSKYXANDER:
And they have not completed a single rail from Lagos to Onitsha.....how did I end up in this country?

... Because God wants you to taste small from your parent's mistake...
Keep enjoying it....your grandparent enjoyed it till they died..so your not exception..so, remember to pass it to your unborn children...
