Even though Simon Ekpa gave you Mondays free to think and get back your senses you hear talking like a fool.

Kyase:

Have you even been to Kaduna or you just dey yarn dust

Mandate2023:



U mean dey don't need to progress and develop.....are u normal, have u ever been to kaduna b4

U want all state to be stagnant and useless like south east states

So the should not plan foe their future bcoa your Igbo governor lack such visions ba ? Imagine El Rufai starting a rail project n BRT come 2027 n the election is btw him n Obi will shameless Igbo even think about debating.

Adamumd:
Elrufai is a progressive, if you live in Kaduna you will have alot of good to say about this man no matter how much you hate him.
This is a very good development as this will ease the traffic especially on weekdays from commuters within southern part of Kd moving to and fro to the Kd central.

Adamumd:
The North keep developing their region while Biafra Governors keep looting and keeping their people distracted and busy with agitations to prevent them from demanding for accountability. Later they'll come and wail about marginalization.

Reference:
You see the problem with Nigeria.
Was a great read until I got to the point where it says '...but we have been unable to get (an interested party) to operate it.

Which means the people are not interested in the project. Which means the government is forcing it on them, which means it is a white elephant destined to be an albatross on the back of government for years to come.

This is not how nations develop. There is no synergy between leaders and the led. We should understand that Government exists to organise society, period. Government is the sum of all the aspirations of the people it serves.

In this case the rail and BRT for which this loan is taken will have come about by exhaustive interaction, deliberations and advocacy between the people and government perhaps over several years by which plans and programs will have evolved, in a scenario whereby government will have said, 'we don't have the means, etc' and the people will have ended up with a plan to fund it by loan with another plan to repay by commercializing it.

Such that ownership, management, financial plans, even ticketing prices will all have been agreed by government and the people, a solid feasibility study before any action us taken. Only then can the development by a success.

But in Nigeria, Africa, attention to details, consultancy, consultation, plans, procedures and the ability to build values into a society is severely lacking making leadership so tempestuous.

We really need to raise our game. How can you conclude on a public works project of such importance with the primary components of it's success completely left out. If you already have the name of the 'gbese provider' and you don't have the name of the 'gbese repayer', is that not trouble you are looking for. Who takes a loan without a name by which it is to be paid or a plan by which it is to be serviced...

If the people who are the owners of government are not front and center of this development, how will it transit government when the title holders are out of power.

According to UNESCO, Kaduna's literacy rate is 29.3%; let that sink in. Health care is no better. The state does need a line railway when clean water, education, and health care are lacking.

According to the French Ambassador, this is a €110m euro project but only $6m has been secured. How will the next government raise the balance?. I hope this is not a plan to have another light rail that would take 20 years to complete like we are heading for in Lagos.

It's taken Lagos 16 years to complete a phase of less than 50km and the ambition of Lagos is to have like 300km. Hmmm

traihit:


Ordinary $6 million is what a whole Kaduna cannot raise within a year or two.

It's laudable they're building rail and BRT, it's pathetic borrowing is seen as a norm in a country where wastage of public resources is the norm.

Even the borrowing Lagos did, they can raise that money internally within a few years. But borrowed money is like stolen waters, always sweet in the mouth of the thieves.

Until the next generation start battling the problems of the past compounded with the challenges of the future.

Question::


Why is it that when they start or commission projects, outside igboland, SE sit at home people hardly hesitate to rush to bad mouth, criticize, abuse and insult the governors for doing their job, but never anything to say about their own states where starting or commissioning anything is an abomination, not even borehole?

This must be some kind of curse, SE is a region where the only thing going on is sit at home, chaos, anarchy, bloodbath, killings, beheading, and absent and invisible governors, but the SE people like it the way it is.

I mean, if you are going to criticize other people for progressing and developing, at least show us what you are doing better in your own failed and unproductive sit-at-home region.


Sad.

Do they really need this at this moment?

Only Lagos and Rivers State need this at the moment because of their unending traffic.



BRT? Yes.


Idiot, I'm from the SS.



Electricity before light rail. Will they use generators to power it?

Bobbiee:
Soon to be in the hands of terrorists

Devil1Messenger:

Lolz
The supposed modern Lagos BRT na 30 seats and 50 standing with no AC or Fan.
They choke everywhere like sardine, like the normal molue and u all pay same amount
I ply from oshodi terminal to ikeja every working day. If not for traffic, molue is better and cheaper

Perfectbeing:
You really don't understand why loans are important. You think Kaduna State don't have $6 million to build that project?
There's something called credit rating..
Assume you have 100 million naira. You want to invest in a project, let's say a gigantic rice mill. The rice mill will cost 30 million. It is best to take loans for the project. The wisdom is to improve your appeal as a stable and trusted customer. You do not fork out the whole 30million, you go for a percentage. As you build more trust and acceptability in the Bank, a day will come when you have a project valued more than you can afford. Your trust will be sufficient to get the fund for it. This is called CREDIT RATING.

If we don't challenge the status quo, how can things get better? Less than 20 percent of Lagos road users ply the BRT lane in Lagos, yet the lane in most axis occupy about 1 quarter of the main road. Some form of creativity and flexibility will enhance the system.

So in your own best opinion, such infrastructure is baseless? Now I see why Delta, Bayelsa is stagnant. The governor is being futuristic.

Afamed:


You know the truth but you still want to sell your lies to us.

Those Govt buses are with AC, Charging phone space and TV.
IPOB BOYS ENOUGH OF THIS UNA LIE

Where are your BRT located in the east?

In "sane" societies, do every car ply the BRT lanes

Smart governor following the footsteps of Lagos. Governors that move close to Tinubu get visionary ideas to run their states like Lagos unlike some theoretical presidential candidates quoting China but not respected even by the governors that succeeded him. Tinubu is light years ahead !
