Dear Peter Obi and all Obidients, can you guys explain to us what happened to this great Onitsha monorail project?

The MoU was signed by Peter Obi in 2010 between Anambra state government and a Canadian firm. 12 years later, we are yet to see any monorail. What’s the update on this project?


Mynd44 and nlfpmod, can we get this to front page?

Thank God you acknowledged that PO conceived an idea like that and took the bold step towards achieving it. You should have asked those that came after him what happened.

seunmsg:


We need to start asking all the difficult questions. Tinubu came up with several developmental plans for Lagos state around the same time such as Lagos railway project, BRT, Eko Atlantic, Lekki Free Trade zone etc. Today, all these projects are a reality.

So, what happened to Peter Obi’s monorail project? What’s the current stage of development? How much of Anambra state fund was committed into this project in the last 12 years?

Peter Obi came with his own plan, executed those he could and Obiano continued from where he stopped, every state has it's own peculiarity, in term of Population density, you can't compare Anambra with Lagos. what anambra needs is different from what lagos needs and lest I forget, Tinubu did not lay any plan. your propaganda will not work.

You’ve not answered my questions. Peter Obi came up with the plan in 2010 and not me. Any talk about population density or what’s priority to Anambra is irrelevant. If the monorail wasn’t a priority, why did Peter Obi sign an MOU for its development?

Peter Obi had 4 good years to deliver this project and failed terribly at doing so. If four years, the project never moved beyond MOU. He even had the opportunity of singlehandedly picking his successor who could have continued with his vision and signatory projects and again, he bottled it.

So, why should I vote for such a failure who can’t get anything done as my president when I have a better alternative who can boldly push for the actualization of his vision and signatory projects? We all saw Tinubu when he signed the MOU for Lekki free trade zone in China. Today, Lekki free trade zone is a reality. No excuses of of a successor abandoning the project because of solid planning and excellent mentorship.

If you like Nigeria, you will not out of petty ethnic sentiments be supporting a failure like Peter Obi.

Don't you see how stupid obi is..

those that came after him ..they were in the same party with him at the time obi left ba

Why did they refuse to follow his footsteps. .as fashola and ambode did to tinubu, even sanwo Olu is doing more than we expected.
Even Rivers could not complete a monorail under Amaechi.

after4:
So you quoted a source from one site hoisted under a bridge in surulere?
You people think we are like you.
Post a credible verifiable source.

Also post the achievements of tifnubu that we can verify

Great2017:


"Details of the agreement showed that the company would provide the funds, execute the project and manage it for sometime before handing it over to the state government."

You should have directed your questions to the Canadian based firm since the project would be fully funded by them. However, pettiness and tribal emotions will blind you to logical reasoning.

Keep dribbling yourself.

Nigerians are wiser now.

The signing of the MOU was well reported way back I in 2010. It even made front page back then in 2010. Below is the old thread https://www.nairaland.com/556040/anambra-enugu-course-monorail-construction

Ogbuefi2020:

So Tinubu should sign off the country to his imperialist cronies? Can you see the name Peter Obi signed with? Local content is important in development even if it takes longer time

seunmsg:


What Nigerians want is development and not excuses. BRT is today a reality. Lekki free trade zone is today a reality. Lagos blue and red lines are now a reality. Why is Onitsha monorail not a reality?

And yes, the so called Canadian firm was a scam. It was made up of rogues masquerading as foreign partners. Not surprisingly, the project never took off. Check the comments of musiwa and other unbiased Nairalanders about the firm in 2010.
