You need to borrow common sense as well, PMB in his speech says that this project was executed by last admin and he is please to commission it....now the point is if a project was 99% completed and the one that is not upto 10% but the total sum for the project has been expended where did you expect WIKE to get another money to execute it ...WIKE is going on with other abandon project executed by AMAECHI which the transaction are still traceable such as Trans amadi road dualization, Greater Port harcourt estate at trans amadi and many others...Rivers Mono rail was a scam and conduit to sponsor APC period....Cross Rivers awarded the same Monorail contract to the same company for less than half of what AMAECHI awarded yet CRS have completed theirs....put that to your head "ERASER"

Did you read the quote from The Guardian News paper? Let me repeat it again since you lack the ability to comprehend

The question I'll like to ask is if according to Pro GEJ newspaper (i.e The Guardian) the project commenced about 7yrs ago (i.e 2009), was GEJ in power in 2009?

yungmin:
In October 2009, Yaradua of blessed memory was already near his grave mumu. When I see these Buharist talk, I see a people who love injustice and lack of fairness to everyone. GEJ opened up the Kano-Lagos line, Port Harcourt - Makurdi line, port Harcourt - Aba - Enugu line and constructed the Abuja-Kaduna line to an advanced stage. Mind you, there is still an intracity rail line within Abuja that was executed up to 60% completion level before Jonathan left office. The whole idea was to get the old tracks running while starting the process of replacing them with standard gauge line and the Abuja-Kaduna route happened to be the pilot scheme. Remember there is still a coaster rail line connecting Calabar and many of the States in the Niger Delta to Lagos. That project had been conceptualized and designed waiting for construction to take off. I work in an engineering consulting firm and I can tell you that the design stages of these projects can gulp up to one year and more so, it is much harder to conceptualize a project than simply going to site to execute same. The average white man detest being lied to no matter how small the lie may be; but the situation in Nigeria especially among those who claim to be learned is that the APC lied and decieve them with various propaganda against the previous admin to win their hearts and after more than a year after, they are finding the truth but they seem not to be outraged for being deceived. I see people bringing Obasanjo into the picture then I ask; for 8yrs OBJ was president, did we hear he commissioned or revive any of our old rail lines? If he did, GEJ wouldn't have bothered doing the older ones first before starting the new ones. It was the Goodluck Jonathan administration that brought railway transportation back into the lips of Nigerians. It hitherto was an unknown vocabulary in our dicco. The truth is, Buhari and APC has sown a very bitter seed and bad precedents in the manner an opposition party should go about winning election. From the issue of subsidy, power sector, roads, railway, etc all they said about the previous admin has proven to be false. In his maiden speech, the Fashola said the transmission company of Nigeria had over 142 projects running which were all over 50% completed and some Nigerians sitting at home still don't understand that GEJ was actually doing a lot when he was there. For me, a leader like Buhari with all his dollard propagandist politicians is what Nigerians deserve. How so true is the saying that a people can only get the kind of leaders they deserve. Goodluck Jonathan was just too civil, polite and well intentioned to be Nigeria's president

fearless2014:
And was your useless Obasanjo or dullard Buhari president in October 2009?

And since when did signing of contract become commencement of work?

According to Mr Muktar Muhammed, CCECC’s Public Relations Officer, the contract was signed in October 2009

Horllamideh:
Reminds me of the pictures of road networks constructed by GEJ posted just before the election. We no know how pic of an expressway in Cameroon take enter the propaganda. believe the PD_Pigs at your own peril.

Presidency caught showcasing Kwankwaso’s projects as Jonathan’s achievement in North-West

wadetaw202:
You must be correct, because it is "Ipob yoots" alone that can see the deceit of buhari and other Nigerians are completely blind to the deceit. Buhari is northernizing Nigeria and only ipob can see it. It is only ipob that buy food and other items at highly expensive rate. It is only ipob that lose their jobs. It is only ipob that experience salary cut. it is only ipob that experience consistent power failure. When will you people stop being insensitive?

According to Mr Muktar Muhammed, CCECC’s Public Relations Officer, the contract was signed in October 2009

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/abuja-kaduna-rail-line-prospects-challenges/

He commended President Buhari, Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, for their quick response in releases of fund for the completion of the project which started in 2009

wadetaw202:
Well, I saw Yoruba people among those thanking GEJ in that screenshot, except Yorubas are also "frustrated ipob yoots

And why do you always think anybody supporting gej must be an ipob member? That is very myopic and unreasonable. I am Yoruba and I know buhari is a failure. He is a president of the north with a northern agenda. Only the very blind will not see this.

And we all know things were cheap when gej was president. Despite hardship, rice was selling for 300 and the price actually reduced to 260 under Jonathan. But since Daura President became president, the price has almost doubled. I bought it at 450 few days ago. You know it that buhari is a poor economy manager. He knows nothing about economy and his medieval type of governance is always associated with hardship (1984 comes to mind), but yuou are too hypnotised to agree.

And what were you trying too say? Are you trying to say your buhari started the project when he became president?

You can't deceive us; we know it was started by GEJ.

joborskill:
Most people on that screenshots are frustrated IPOB yoots who are obviously pained by the defeat of their corrupt hero GEJ. Since they can't seem to get their deluded biafra after so many suicidal attempts, they have returned to their vomit of praise singing GEJ for every success of this administration and blaming Buhari for every failure. The one's with yoruba names are cloned account from aba branch of IPOB


If a plastic of gaari becomes 200 naira tomorrow it is the hand work of GEJ


If it becomes 500 the next day, it is Buhari's fault.

It sucks to be in their shoes

Emancipation:
Although I disagree with adaure4ever's manner of approach to her case against IPOB, I fully support her that IPOB should focus on Igbos in SE and SS only, Leave non Igbo Niger-deltans out of this agitation because the insult ndigbo is receiving because of it is unbearable.

Igbos have more than proven that they can do without nigeria. They were given 20 pounds and they used it to rebuild their crumbled cities. They are even ranked best in all indices of development by the UN in 2016.

Ndigbo need to just focus on their core survival interest and forget about including people that will accuse them of land grabbing tomorrow.

naturalmi:
@aresa i have been going through your comments for a while but i must say i am disappointed at your viewpoint.
Even if you are paid to comment in here, I think you should be objective in your thinking.
I believe you are a young person, and if every young man thinks and comment the same way as you do.
Then! i think Nigeria is hopeless because the youths are supposed to be the future of tomorrow.
Thanks

ohzee:
Lol. I truly cannot because I don't really care. All politicians are the same. I do remember a lot of projects mentioned during FEC meetings. I just want this govt to start something for crying out loud. Even FERMA patch patch of roads was better than nothing. You get? But what do I know? I am neither a wailer nor a zombie. I am not APC, neither am I PDP.

I see suffering and poverty in my work place daily and it breaks my heart. I don't know if I am making any sense sha. But we can't keep making excuses for these politicians. This is not the first time crude oil price has dropped or our foreign reserves dropped, but I have been around for a long time and I haven't seen the kind of hopelessness that exists today in the common man.

ALAYORMII:
Why didn't you expose him then when he was trying to bribe you



After calling you roques Ur true name

You're here yarning dust

richidinho:
This one don kolo

cckris:
Shameless APC! Claiming Jonathan's sweat.

Tchief Amaechi collected full payment for Mono Rail that he didn't do 10%. That is CORRUPTION.

gists:
The above quote is from The Guardian newspaper - where former media assistant to GEJ used to work (or has he even gone back to the company?). Say what you like, the fact is GEJ did not commissioned the project - PMB did.
PMB gets all the credit, just like you lot were so quick to give credit to many project started by OBJ and Yar'adua.

God Bless Amaechi,
God Bless Buhari
God Bless Nigeria

Buhari hails “Chief Amaechi” for Abuja railway completion


https://media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2016/07/President-Muhammadu-Buhari-commissioning-the-Abuja-Kaduna-Railway-2.jpg.pagespeed.ce.VvgiDnZs9k.jpg

Protocol

I am delighted to be here today to commission the Abuja – Kaduna railway track and flag-off the Abuja-Kaduna train services (Passengers & Freight) on Nigeria’s first ever Standard Gauge Rail track to go into operation. This project was conceived by a previous administration, started by the last government and I am pleased to complete and commission it.

It is on record that between 1963 and early ‘80s, Nigeria had a vibrant rail system which conveyed agricultural and livestock and solid mineral resources to Lagos and Port Harcourt sea ports from where they are exported to other parts of the world. It is our vision and hope that those good old days will soon be back with us and indeed in a more prosperous way with the restoration of rail transport system which today’s occasion symbolises.

The construction of the Abuja-Kaduna Standard Gauge rail track commenced in 2009 and happily, sixteen years after, we are on the threshold of presenting to Nigerians a Standard Gauge Railway Train Service that will be safe, fast and reliable. The Abuja-Kaduna train service will provide the much needed alternative transport link between the Federal Capital Territory and Kaduna State, a corridor which has a huge potential for industries, agricultural activities and a growing labour force.

The Minister of Transportation, Chief Rotimi Amaechi and his team have put great efforts in the last few months to ensure the successful completion of this project under this Administration. Completion and Commissioning of this project is indeed in keeping with our vision of bringing about the desired change to make life easier for the generality of Nigerians through the development and provision of the necessary social and physical infrastructure.

In this regard, I wish to assure Nigerians that most State capitals and major commercial and production centres will be linked with railway system as a way of bringing about rapid socio-economic development and improving the quality of life of the Nigerians and promoting social & regional integration.

Furthermore, I wish to also reassure Nigerians that due attention will be placed on pursuing the 25-Year Strategic Railway Master Plan which is aimed at rehabilitating the existing 3,505km narrow gauge rail line and developing and constructing new standard gauge rail lines across the country.

As we celebrate the symbolic return of rail service today I wish to reiterate the commitment of this Administration to pursue with greater vigour and determination rehabilitation and construction of other rail lines including the major Lagos-Calabar and Kano-Lagos lines.

As we get down to work, I look forward to flagging off many more lines outlined in our transport policy programme.

Thank you, and safe journey to all our travellers.

Obiano: Anambra has large quantities of oil.

Evidence: None. Just word of mouth.

Ugandans: Obiano for president!!!!!


Ambode: Lagos has large quantities of oil.

Evidence: extracted sample in a container. Map showing underground hydrocarbon deposits.

Ugandans: God punish afonjas with their lies!!!! There isn't a drop of oil anywhere in the zoo besides the ss and se!!!



Omenka: No comment.

ohzee:
I am not aware of a single major project flagged off by this regime. Guess they will spend the entire tenure commissioning past GEJ projects, claiming they completed payments.
No problem. May God keep us all.alive till 2019

badderdandem:
hey it seems you are sick check out those names praising gej how many of them are from the east or are you myopic in reasoning

lordyugo:
let me guess another retard getn excited already cos he thinks hes bout to exchange words wit another igbo person greater than him.
sorry I forgot u r the nairaland clown

If you are around the Igbo all you hear are boasts about his real and imaginary accomplishments. He is very vainglory seeking


The Igbo is narcissistic in that he thinks that he is special and that other people ought to admire him. The Igbo actually imagines that other Nigerians are his inferiors and ought to admire him.

nvr knew edo ,yoruba and hausa are now ipobs. Ipob must really be growing. Retard
