This shading doesn't make sense because the project is not being undertaken by Buhari’s Admin. But the rail line to Niger is being undertaken by the FG when most of Nigeria is not yet linked to the rail system. Let's stop supporting evil in this country if we don't want our unborn generations to live in the curse of misery.

Yeah, they construct roads for free all over Africa because they are father Xmas.

It's their intervention project a kind of corporate Social responsibility. Did you read anywhere that they gave Nigeria or Cameroon government loan for the project?

Nairaland needs to find a way to get intellectual comments on front page as it is showing that most comments there are from people who know nothing.

First, AfDB is bank of Africa, so Nigeria is not responsible for financing it. It is a goodnews. I do not agree with Buhari, but on the issue of fixing Adesina as the president of the Bank.....this is the dividend. And Cameroun is benefiting from it too. Of course, instead of Ibos to be happy that it connects Enugu, read comments above. If AfDB had chosen Calabar to Bakassi to Cameroon what would they have done? Even if its a single lane, and so what? So, you expect AfDB to go build 10 lanes there? Not a major road oooo. But a new road just to connecting the two nations. If ecommerce is boosted as predicted, then, the road can be expanded. What if the prediction is not achieved? Na wa oooo. It is good to be educated. And going to school does not guarantee sound education with the comments on the front page these days.

The one I am angry about is the railway from Kano to Niger. That one is with Nigerian money. And Buhari is doing it cos of selfish interest. They want to network with Niger just in case Nigeria breaks, and they are borrowing money which Nigerians are responsible for. And guess what? Highway for bandits and terrorists created... That project, I am partially against it. I can only pray that the next president cancels the project no matter how far this administration has gone with the project. It must not be a burden on us. Niger needs to contribute too. And if Niger doesnt, the project should be killed. Except there is something good about the project I am presently not seeing I can have a positive attitude towards it. Maybe someone can educate me here.

But this one here is a goodnews. And again Buhari pushed Ngozi Iweala as Director General of WTO. I think maybe Buhari has good luck with having good brains around him. Even in 1983 to 85, Tunde Idiagbom was the brain behind almost everything. For Buhari to have pushed Adeshina ad AfDB number one, and Iweala as WTO number 1 is huge. This is the dividend. Even Iweala is moving trades toward Nigeria seriously.

Maybe Buhari is not lucky with brains around him....Perhaps, he is gifted in appointing them. Cos Jonathan failed to land the same Ngozi Okokjo-Iweala Ngozi rhe World Bank President in 2014. I forgeotz there is Amina Muhammed, the deputy secretary general of UN too - also appointed during Buhari's time. Can I say Jonathan is not lucky with the people he appointed? Or he is just not good with appointing good brains? Hmmmmm

Now, we need to also fix power. If Nigeria can fix power, that is it. We will get huge share of businesses (production) US moves to China. And we put security in place. I swear, Americans will set up manufacturing industries here. Labor is cheap here, so there is no need to invest in robotic technology for now. This is what rich nation wants.

Guys, as tough as it is, Nigeria has a huge opportunity here. I just pray we are able to make use of it.

Corruption is our own enemy.

You made no much sense with this epistle, at what time did Igbos condemn the project, you displayed your bigotry while trying to sound like a nationalist.

honestly I blame Seun

YEARS AGO, AS I SAW A BUS CARRYING CAMEROUNIANS AND WENT TO THEM, THEY WERE EXCITED TO HEAR ME SPEAK FRENCH. THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO COTONOU FOR CONVENTION AND ASKED ME IF THE JOURNEY TO COTONOU FROM ENUGU WAS GOING TO TAKE THEM UP TO 4 HOURS. I LOOKED AT THEIR BUS WITH THE HEAVY LOADS AND ASKED THEM IF THEY DIDNT STUDY MAP BEFORE EMBARKING ON THE JOURNEY. AFRAID WHEN I TOLD THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ENUGU LAGOS, NOT TO MENTION CROSSING SEME BORDER AND HOW MANY DAYS IT WAS GOING TO TAKE THE OLD BUS THEY WERE TRAVELLING WIT TO GET TO LAGOS, THEY ALMOST WEPT. EFFORTS SHOULD BE MADE TO ALSO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON LAND TRAVELS BETWEEN NATIONS TO AVOID THINGS LIKE THIS.

Where did you read that loan was given for the project? It's AfDB intervention projects.

AFDB is a bank and not a charity organization. They don’t do intervention projects. It’s a loan and Nigeria will pay back.

seunmsg:


So, who will pay back the loan?

The level of ignorance on this app is really appalling.

I'm reading through the comments and I'm just SMH, at SS2, I wouldn't have even been this ignorant.

Many Nigerians are just empty, that's why they keep in voting empty heads into political offices because they do not understand that AFDB is an institution that promotes growth and development in Africa through loans and subventions (especially if it's a capital infrastructure project)

Nairalanders! Nigeria is still gonna repay their share of the $430m, y'all should get informed and stop spewing trash.

Pack up that ur business,there is insecurity ,go and join the girls guild.

Ppogbae:
430 million?!?! Is the road paved with solar panels and lined with amenities on the side?

i agree oh the amount is too much even if its 1000km.

seunmsg:


And you actually think AFDB is doing the road for free? You think it’s a gift to Nigeria?
You guys really need to learn how these international finance agencies work. [/b]The bank is financing the project but it’s a loan that will be paid back by the countries involved[b].

They never said that the 430m dollar project is a loan to Nigeria to improve her physical infrastructure....


[/b]citing that the project was part of its 16billion dollar worth of projects in West Africa alone[b]


You said that's a loan that will be paid back by the countries involved.... Can you prove it?

for the Kano-Maradi rail network, the project is important for Nigeria because Niger has discovered a huge amount of crude oil. And normally, since they are landlocked, they've mostly traded their goods with the rest of the world and accessed the sea through Benin republic. So instead of that continuing, Nigeria wants to take advantage so that Niger can access the sea through Nigeria and pay Nigeria huge sums of money yearly. It's a win-win situation for both country. I hope you get it now.

If this project is handled by Nigeria government now you will see them quoting $400billions

Factfinder1:
We waste money on soo many useless projects in this country

Adeshina does not answer to the Nigerian government. This is a sub-Sahara African project. It's just like the UN; you don't tell them where to site a project.

The foolish and ignorant author of a dot nation can now see there is an escape rout after all,the vegetable also forget that at a time we had a political party called NCNC.dont worry we shall see.

You guys really need to learn how these international finance agencies work. The bank is financing the project but it’s a loan that will be paid back by the countries involved.

It is not entirely free but it is not a Nigeria's project. It is an international project. ECOWAS / AU is involved. There are so many Donor nations or International bodies that are supporting projects undertaken by ECOWAS / AU. There are other non Africa countries in the board of AFDB with heavy investment more than some African countries. They jointly provide fund for AFDB and for approved projects. The AU Headquarters at Addis was donated to AU by the Chinese government.

My major concern is the Lagos - Abidjan Highway project and Dakar Lagos Highway project. I believed there is a politics here or they are waiting for other regional projects to be completed.

In 2012, I was one of the consultants selected by Crown Agents, UK to carry out feasibility study on Lagos - Abidjan Highway project for ECOWAS. The consultancy job was awarded to Crown Agents by ECOWAS which means EU is interested in that project. Few weeks to the commencement of the project, it was suspended. Till date, the road is yet to be constructed while other project that started later is nearing completion.

Mynd44:

It was done by the AFDB, it was not done by Nigeria.

Besides on pure economics, Cameroon is a door to Central Africa which is a far greater economic prospect than the Sahel.

I’m done arguing this matter. I have been auditing world bank assisted projects since 2018 so I know a lot about projects financed by international development banks.

You actually think AFDB have the capacity to carry out $15billion projects in West Africa free of charge? Like seriously? Not even the World Bank or IMF have such money to give away.

Anyway, you guys are free to believe whatever makes you sleep well at night.
