cbrass:

Do you have to insult...rich boy....this shows you are out of ideas

cbrass:

This is why Nigeria will not move forward cos most of you here are on the outside..anyway that cargo train has been happening since and mostly what they carry even up till now is gravel,transformers but none of them carry petroleum products although they started this from inception but the military came in and aborted it. So if they don't carry petroleum products our roads will still be busy..they don't even carry livestocks like cattles etc so how can you now say that there is a transformation

Tadon200:
You are dumb fellow,this trains are not up to par as its disadvantages make it frustating for those who want their goods transported thru this means.i don't think you've used it to transport goods ,that's can you can come here with your silly propanganda.

cbrass:

If you like go to the moon on holidays its non of my concern..it shows the kind of up bringing..no wonder you saw a train twice in your life. Am not shy to have been raised in agege it only puts me in the better position to rate and debunk the claims of your weakling president about its..sorry his Transformation agenda

bloggernaija: Sorry,
The rehabilitation was contracted and paid for right from
Abacha 's regime(I remember vividly when the Chinese got to the centre of Ibadan).
And the work continued all the way to the beginning of obasanjo.
Obasanjo expanded the /paid for the entire overhaul of the existing rail system and had a road map for the east west rail system which ought to have been built by now if there was really a tranformation .
Jonathan is simply commissioning the work of others in much the same way as that guy is doing in akwa ibom.
NIGERIA IS SIMPLY NOT WORKING AS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THAT THE SKY HIGH CRUDE OIL PRICES IS COVERING UP THE WEAKNESS OF THE COUNTRY'S ECONOMY AND THE INEPTITUDE OF THE GOVERNMENT

Akson man: This morning 4th January 2014,I had a very nostalgic experience while driving to Ikeja from Dopemu area. At the railway crossing near Ashade Ram market,i saw a very long cargo train carrying over 12 containers,i quickly grabbed my phone and snapped this picture.
This was a special experience for me because the last time i saw trains carrying containers I was in primary school,I'm now in my 30s.
I understand these cargo trains were from Apapa port and were heading to Kano. Can u imagine how many trailers have been taken off our highways and how many lives might have been saved by this single journey?
GEJ,I salute you and your government.
It takes a great leader to completely execute a project even if it wasn't initiated by his administration. if previous Nigerian leaders had this type of mindset,Nigeria would have been competing with the Asian Tigers by now.

Tadon200:
ok in your own world ,you don't deserve the best ,if you can praise all this useless trains that take like forever to reach it definition,then you are definitely clueless.

cbrass:

No mind am...he must have being a "get inside" kind of child while growing up so he never see thins happening outside...maybe this is his second time of seeing a train...the first was when their school took them on excursion

Tadon200: op,if i slap you ,your destiny will change forever,who you dey jonze for here?
front page tinz,make people who dey lag shower you with curses.

sheedy407: Na bus I dey see oh

SIX SIGNS THAT PRESIDENT JONATHAN'S TRANSFORMATION AGENDA IS WORKING.

1. Benin-Ore Road lamentations are over: For as long as most of us can remember, Christmas season was a time of lamentations for most travellers to the Eastern part of Nigeria. The Benin-Ore road was the main reason for those lamentations as travellers spent hours upon hours stranded on that axis; there were even instances where passengers had no choice but to spend Christmas on Benin-Ore traffic.
The Jonathan administration was the first to comprehensively tackle the reconstruction of Benin-Ore road. Today, most travellers can confirm to us that their 2013 road travel to Eastern Nigeria is most likely the best they've had in years.

2. For many years, it was an annual ritual for Nigerians to begin experiencing strange and annoying fuel scarcities during festive period. Also, before the Jonathan administration, many parts of Eastern, South-south and Northern Nigeria lived with perennial fuel shortages and where fuel was available it was sold well above government approved price. With Jonathan, all that changed; the Aba depot was resuscitated after years of neglect, leading to an abundance of fuel in the East. Under Jonathan, NNPC commenced the shipment of fuel to Northern Nigeria by rail even as the Kaduna refinery continued production. Throughout the 2013 festive season there was an abundance of fuel all over Nigeria.

3. Aviation: Most Nigerian airports are now wearing a new-look, that’s a fact. Due to the Biafra experience, most successive administrations were reluctant to resume international flight operations directly to Eastern Nigeria, though they kept making promises. Jonathan fulfilled that promise and today,Akanu Ibiam Airport is a functional international Airport.

4. Agriculture: In the past, the post of Agriculture minister was reserved for politicians from certain parts of the country whose sole purpose was to oversee the fraudulent distribution of fertilizer. President Goodluck Jonathan took a chance and appointed a technocrat to lead Nigeria's Agricultural revolution. Today, Nigeria’s agriculture is growing in leaps and bounds; even the international community took notice and went on to name Jonathan's Agriculture minister Akinwumi Adesina as Forbes African person of the year.

5. Boko Haram: When the sect turned really violent in 2009, Nigeria did not have a formidable Anti-terrorism network. Boko Haram carried out attacks at will; between 2011 and 2012, as President Jonathan was struggling to build a functional anti-terrorism system, the terrorists became bolder as bombings and attacks on places of worship occured on a near weekly basis. However, by 2013, Nigeria got it right with the creation of a formidable domestic anti-terrorism network. What it took nations like Israel or the USA decades to build, Jonathan achieved that in roughly 2 years. Throughout 2013, no single church was bombed. Boko Haram has been disorganised and reduced to rag tag guerrilla fighters that take pride in attacking vulnerable and innocent Nigerians of any religious faith. Occasionally, they team up with Alqaeda fighters and organise bold attacks on Nigerian military facilities. However, the Nigerian military has constantly repelled such attacks and inflicted huge casualties on the insurgents.

6. Successful Privatization of Electricity: In spite of monumental opposition from those that benefited from the rot in the system.


WHERE PDP HAS FAILED.

If the PDP has failed in any area it's in the way our great party has allowed opposition forces to gain and retain firm control on the formal and informal media space including electronic, print and social media. The opposition now has substantial leverage in stirring up negative emotions among Nigerians via respective media platforms. Our party’s spokes people have been largely reactionary, only coming out to clear things up when the harm has already been done. Also, perhaps we have entrusted our own information dissemination platforms on a few Egg heads that are probably overwhelmed with the multiple media attack mechanisms employed by the opposition.

Omo_Tier1:
I am sure ten years ago, you were still roaming the streets in your village, hence the reason you did not know that Nigeria musicians right from the 60s were mega rich taking into account the Naira value!

The earning power of most Nigerians have not changed considerably in the last ten years, rather what have changed is the population of those earning decent wages have upscaled, that is why nigeria is now regarded as a middle income earning country.

Stop attributing the growth Nigeria has witness in her economy to one inept puppet in Aso rock. Even though I have so much to say against Obasanjo, however, to His credit, several bold reforms He initiated is still one of the reasons the country is standing today even in the face of the blatant looting of the highest proportion by the present corrupt and visionless government.

If anything, I would attribute the meagre growth in the economy to the local domestic liberalisation of the towns and pseudo urban towns by some hard working governors as the main contributing factors rather than any bold policy of growth by the government in centre. Facts abound to buttress my conclusion further.

dammygoody: Its live on TVC,what do you think?because I've not seen it on any other station............but I think its true............are you gonna resume immediately?

Obrafour: I guess the Operator is of the opinion that, "failed jamb students" seeking admission into limited spaces in Nigerian universities should keep writing Jamb exams even though their WAEC grades equally allows them to seek admission elsewhere. Imagine the number of sch00l drop0uts if nigerians should heed to his advice.

tobechi20: Nice....but he just want to publicise his blog

bloggernaija:

I hope you do not believe this drivel you have written here.
I wonder if you even read the main BBC article.
First of all,Abuja does not register on the world map.
It is regarded by almost everybody who has visited as a soulless place.
Heck the politician themselves runaway every weekend
Secondly,the gwari people own Abuja .there are over 2,000,000 of them( enough to be a nation) and if Nigeria were to scatter, Abuja goes straight back to them.
You just to move people off their ancestral property.
There are also no proofs that Abuja was purchased from them.

So thank you Nigeria for the roads and other shinies but now,
CAN WE HAVE OUR LANDS BACK.
