How is it "funny"?

Well, the "funny" was clearly used ironically...!

The sarcasm was subtle.

How do you borrow so much just to waste away?!!!... Poor Leadership is worse than Sin!

While so many Nigerians are hungry, unemployed and children are out of school. Even hospitals are not well-equipped, doctors not well paid, education not adequately funded, power supply is zero. Did they borrow money for this too? How can any sane person support this. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Support what please..

Who takes train to Abuja airport?

Why leave my house and take an Über to the train station, then take a train to the airport when I can take the Über straight to the airport?

Why will I arrive from Lagos or overseas and start boarding train to a station, only to start looking for another vehicle to take me to my destination, when I can take a car straight there?

These people in government don't know how to source for data to use in developing infrastructure.

To please the people, first find out what the people want.

Trust me, they know exactly what the citizens want, better yet NEED!

They are simply more interested in window dressing and smokescreens while they loot their share of the common wealth.

“Quite clearly there was no plan on how to run the operations before they built it.”

Just like how there's no plan to run a goverment properly after the presidency is brazenly stolen.

Factos!

You don't get it

THERE WAS A PLAN

That plan is what we are all witnessing

You have your opinion about what the plan should be which is different from what the actual plan is.

The plan is on course

The plan was build commission and abandon

Before information becomes data, some effort must have been put into it to give it structure and meaning.

It was a project initiated by the incompetent GEJ administration , which was meant to be complete well before the 2014 Commonwealth Games to help us successfully bid for the games.

Unfortunately like 99% of infrastructure projects at the time the project ground to a halt and was abandoned and PMB administration restarted and completed in 2018.

So now because it has shut down due to low patronage , does not mean it cannot be revived in the future , especially if it is linked to existing busy rail lines .

I am sure that even US where Bloomberg is based have their own share of obsolete completed "white elephant projects" but they love to find negativity in Nigeria and Africa in general.

If Jonathan is incompetent, then what is Tinubu, Fashola and the other two individuals who have looted Lagosians instead of leading them with governance outcomes

Same thing goes with the Obudu Protea Hotel and Ranch Resort.
The APC rule to destroy system of government just destroyed that beautiful heaven, the cable cars dead, the Obudu international mountain race that brings in thousands of tourist to the country is no more, Protea has left, the cows all dead, honey mill dead, presidential reserve area covered with thick forest. All died under the government of Ben Ayade who is from same Obubu. APC is pure witchcraft

What do you expect in a country where mediocrity reigns supreme,

other countries go after the best minds, the most brilliant minds in every aspect of human endeavour to proffer the best solutions to the challenges of society

In Nigeria the brilliant minds are not even considered, high levels of quackery and corruption is the order of the day

SMH 🤦‍♂️
