mrvitalis: Good observation. A nation With less than $40 billion external reserves to spend over $10 billion on rail project within a region is not wise when we have other critical income generating sectors like power, Ajaokuta steel, Modular refineries,commercial production of Cocoa, Cotton, G/but etc... The quantum of goods moving from calabar to phacourt to Lagos is not up to 0.0001% of goods moving from North to South and vice versa... 3 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis: Very funny coming you... How will you describe railways as phantom projects? When goods get to ports, how do they move hinterland? Do you prefer moving heavy trucks on the road, causing more accidents and damages on the road? No where in the world are railways built for immediate profit.. These projects are lifelong projects. The existing Narrow guage tracks were built in the early 1900s, and it's still serving us albeit poorly. No nation has developed moving goods via trucks. 13 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis: Your 101 years estimate is quite generous, I'd say they would never break even on any of those projects, why?? Whenever you're making such estimates, always factor in inflation and don't forget this country is inflation itself. |

mrvitalis: If the rail was passing through your village you won't be saying this. What do we actually want for naija. If the govt did nothing we will complain, now they are doing something yes it may be inflated and sound overbloated but this is Africa, we need infrastructure like this else nothing at all will be done at all including all the suggested alternatives you have listed here. Like I always say, you can never go wrong on infrastructure no matter how expensive it is. Persons, goods and services must always be moved from one point to another. 7 Likes |

The major problem with Nigeria is political sentiment and this has become the order of progress How can after all the above mentioned proposed rail routes I can't find anyone allocated to Benue state the food basket of the nation This is so because our leaders have neglected necessary functionalities and focused on their individual places of abode for centered development nonsense! |

Where is the money? PDP conceptualized that project but couldn't start it due to unavailability of funding.. The mumu APC has decided to take it on, though there isn't money. They specialize in borrowing & begging for money from any source, at any conditionality. I have a suspicion that Buhari is using some of these projects to secretly hide money on behalf of the Muslim north in case the country eventually breaks up. 1 Like 1 Share |

To be completed when? Year 5050? Nonsensical nonsense. After 6 wasted years in power, you now remember that there are Coastal States, Coastal States ko, Coaster Biscuits ni. These Vagabonds in Power think that Southerners are dummies like the Almajaris. Thunder Fire all of your families |

blackpanda: It took six years to complete the ones you mentioned. This useless administration has less that two miserable years to leave. Beside that, the Ajaokuta-Itakpe-Warri railway was constructed to bring more and more Almajaris and evil Fulani herdsmen from the North to the South to kill, to steal and to destroy. That is why herdsmen are now asking Delta government to give them 50,000 acres abi hectares of land. The Lagos-Ibadan railway too was constructed to bring more Almajaris and evil Fulani herdsmen to the South that is why construction has started to extend the Ibadan end to Kano to facilitate the movement of evil Fulani herdsmen and bandits and Boko Haram to the South in order to kill, to steal and to destroy. But, the good new is that we are ready for them. We will teach them a lesson their generations yet unborn will never forget |

mrvitalis:If you are not mischievous, you will tell people that APC did double lane tracks instead of a single one PDP did. Moreover, PDP could not finish it, it was APC that finished it. APC did 320km with 1.5 billion dollars PDP did 190km with 850 million dollars. This is not minding the fact that APC built many infrastructures across the tracks to support the trains. APC started and finished unlike your party that couldn't finish. You can only deceive ignorant people in your village with mischievous figures 7 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis: You may probably be correct o. But every administration has its priority. Perhaps, if OBJ has focused on maybe power by now, it won't be on that your list. And if GEJ focused on Ports, it won't also be on that list. Remember, those years of PDP had the money to spend, but we're just looting the whole thing. If an rail them want for the Country, so that trailer go reduce for road, e good. Meanwhil,e whono be APC or Buhari fan o. I am a Soworist.

Even if it won't be completed, if the next government will do the needful just like how this administration completed Kaduna-Abuja rail, it is a win for Nigeria, Nigeria has a lot of problems currently but at least on transportation something is being done...if other administrations since Independence had done things like these, we would have been way ahead of what we are now...and that's a fact 5 Likes |
