aribisala0: If repayment cannot be made then Deutsche Bank have a problem
Nigeria was in a More trying period when Babangida decided to dispense the $12 billion on building a new capital =Abuja
Not sure if anyone called it DESPERATION at the time but I believe the money could have been better spent on power plants and refineries or rail.
You use some funny words
Desperation , humongous
I think it is a good idea to do something for the Southern part of the country too
740 billion is being spent on Abuja -Kano road There is a road from Abuja to Kaduna and a rail line too
Is there any road or rail from Abuja to Ibadan or Abuja to Enugu or Abuja to Benin or Calabar
Buhari even initiated a rail line to Niger Where is the rail line from Lagos to Ghana or Calabar to Cameroon?
Yes let them do something for the South which is where most of the money comes from and if it is desperation fine because No Northern President will do that but Northern presidents build Abuja, Abuja -Kaduna etc
So I commend the project and if possible he should borrow more to complete the project in 2 years
Nigeria borrowed a lot of money for all those projects in the North
So No problem in doing so for the south
It is because of things like this that presidency needs to rotate
See How Buhari used Amaechi to build projects for the North all with BORROWED MONEY Well said bro. Some people in the same south won’t agree with you because the road didn’t pass through their region directly, but they will be the one to enjoy it more because of the spur that link to theirs. Also because of their hatred for Tinubu- they won’t see the benefit of the project. Same people are already aligning to buy all the lands on the Lagos corridor for development before the government put a stop to it. Confused people indeed. I agree with your viewpoint. Naija delta deserves this road. The road will connect all the Niger delta states. I don’t care how much will be spent to develop it. It must be done at all cost because this will be the only major project to connect the region. |

You kept saying the Igbos will align with the north and the north will make you president right? Don’t forget that on the two occasions Igbos aligned with the North, they played a second fiddle role. Zik was made a ceremonial head of state and had no power, it was Tafawa Balewa ruling and an Igbo man was the vice president under Shagari. The north will use you and dump you. The core north will never vote an Igbo man for presidency. Your surest path to the presidency is to align with the SW. But I know your little brain will not let you process this properly. Streetinvestor2: I know every idiot from SW claims lagos because other states in the SW are shitholes.I have always said the SW are the greatest enemies of igbos.You want them to leave lagos so that you claim another round of abandoned properties. They bought those properties Why not tell your poverty shrinking SW people to start buying those properties backs. Then for lagos. After 2027 we will dismantle that lagos monopoly in sea port,airport,banks and oil head quarters. embassy to Abuja and other regions. The igbos will align with north to make sure SW president is removed in 2027.After that we see what is special about lagos |

Kukutente23: Good My argument is the refineries are now being forced to look like working because of Dangote refinery not because of any purported removal of subsidy. Those refineries are not working. Nigeria is still importing diesel and petrol as at today. It is a battle for control not subsidy And you think Dangote refinery would have seen the light of the day if fuel subsidy still persists? Think with your brain bro |

Adakintroy: Everything now goes to calabar former capital territory courtesy of akpabio and his form of respect loyal politics so now calabar/ aquabomite are now representing the eastern region so to speak.
What this means is that there will be a port in calabar stations were all easterner(igbos) will come to do business there by enriching the calabars. What am trying to say is we are now third in command.
sorry igbos you blew your spot When they had their chance during Obasanjo’s govt with the senate president allocated to their region, we remembered all the infighting going on and ended up having 4 senate president in their region in 8 years. I laugh when people say Obi is the messiah. If Obi ever becomes the president, I bet you he won’t even have the political connections to pass his own budget not to talk of embarking on transformational projects. |

lexy2014: Who are these enemies within?
Are they the ones proposing to embark on building an elephant project while most federal roads are in deplorable situation? Well those federal roads were also in deplorable condition when the 2nd river Niger bridge was constructed and i didn’t hear any of you condemning it despite the federal govt in 8 good years not attending to same deplorable roads. When Buhari was also building a railway to Maradi in Niger, we didn’t hear a lot of sailings from you guys. |

Urheadmaster:

Another elephant project that'll not be completed.
Even if it does, it'll not be in use for the next 10yrs.
Checkout the airport these propaganda minister of works built in ebonyi state.
A complete waste of project. It’s not an elephant project. Some sections of the road will be completed and put to use. I do agree they can’t complete the whole road in 8 years, and not sure it will be continued if another president comes to power that doesn’t have the political will to continue. |

givedemwotowoto: Was this project really necessary at this point? What is the immediate and future economic value that made it a priority?
Why was it embarked upon over the East West road? Why this time of the country’s economic situation? Am sure you didn’t ask this same question when they were building the 2nd River Niger bridge that was abandoned by previous govt for over 50 years despite the economic challenges Buhari too faced. This coastal road had been in the pipeline too for over 50 years. The SS region that provides the resources to develop this country has been neglected in so many ways and this road will open up economic activities down there. Am sure you are asking your question from a tribalistic point of view as you reckon your region won’t benefit from it, which isn’t true. All southern region will benefit from this road Shikena |

Exceed15: Today's administration which was the opposition then crucified Jonathan for increasing fuel price to N145. They asked him to reverse it N65.
See where we are today. It shall not be well with them. If GEJ had the political will then, he would have gone ahead to remove fuel subsidy not chicken out. Blame GEJ and not Tinubu or Buhari. Actually you should appreciate Tinubu for having the political will to remove subsidy and damning the consequences. |

leodregat: The trains are used trains Sanwolu purchased in Canada and the news was shared on nairaland when he went for the purchase.
The intercity rail system was first initiated by Governor Bola Tinubu in 2003 under "Lagos Urban Transportation Project". Besides the BRT network, the rail network never took off as it was postponed multiple times by successive governors until Sanwolu. So what’s your point? Are you an enemy of progress? |

Politics › Remo Omokri Says Yorubas Don’t Harbour Criminals And Agitators by Barclaycard(op): 5:07pm On Apr 18, 2024 |
To understand why the Yoruba are the most influential and the wealthiest people in Nigeria, study how they (not the Federal Government) dealt with the so-called Yoruba Nation agitators who tried to cause havoc and chaos in Ibadan last week.
First of all, the families of those involved publicly denounced them. In fact, one of the affected families took out an advert. That is to show you social responsibility at the family level.
Then, the society rose against them, with community members forcing them out and pointing out their properties and hideouts to the authorities. That demonstrates social cohesion and a society with a secure moral fabric. Secessionists can only operate where there is local support. If there is no local support, they will evaporate.
Next, the State Government did not wait for the Federal Government or their agencies. In less than a week, they had arrested all of those involved, demolished their properties and brought criminal charges against them. That is evidence of a responsible sub-national government.
No prominent Yoruba came out to make excuses for these agitators, or sympathise with them. As a unit, they called them by their names-miscreants. They did not even call them Unknown Miscreants (nobody is unknown to the community, except the community wants to hide behind one finger). They named and shamed them!
Now, let me ask you this question: If you are a Hausa, Fulani, Ijaw, or other prominent tribe, or even a former Nigerian leader and the Nigerian Army, will you have any hesitation in handing over ultimate power to such a people? Of course not! They deserve power because they are responsible wielders of authority, and the ship of state is safe in their hands.
You may now insult!

Hes simply telling us that they have bought the Courts.

against him by his partner in Alpha Beta consulting firm.
His true identity remains a mystery, no one grew up with him, or schooled with him...which is impossible I'm a communal Nigerian society.
There's a rumor he was adopted from Benin Republic while his foster mother was on a business trip.
He was a drug dealer and laundered proceeds of drug. It's believed he still executes dtill date...which explains why Maruwa visited him after ceasing a large drug consignment and also destroyed d evidence afterwards. Till date no one has been prosecuted in d single biggest drug burst in Africa.
He's alleged to be d most demonic ogboni grand master in West Africa. And has also used his demonic powers to hoodwink and bound Lagosians and most south westerners till date. Which explains why some most of them on Nairaland here acts live zombies (ndi eriri eri).
The drug lord doesn't care if hundred or thousands have to die from d possible religious crisis his Muslim-Muslim ticket will create as long as he's the president, that's all that matters to him... unlike GEJ that believes his ambition is not worth d blood of any Nigerian.
He's alleged to have plans on d way to cause Mayhem in 4 Northern States including Kaduna and Katsina where his fortunes are dwindling so as to ensure elections are postponed in this state for him to concentrate, deploy his mechanism to manipulate favourable outcomes for himself... Nigerians should watch out for this.

Simplythebest: It wickedness and selfishness of any yoruba person to complain and claim that power must shift to South cus is the turn of South and at the same time said it must come to south west cus they are the only region in south even after producing president for 8 years and vice president for another 8 years.
That is really pure wickedness and selfishness. The worst thing is that they are bringing someone that is not fit and qualified to rule the country, someone who has a lot of questions hanging around his neck and they still want to force him to Nigerians is really a pity and very selfish. Assuming the south west candidate is fit and he is the best among others it would have been another thing but he is the worst in everything corruption, drugs related offense, age, family background, education, intelligence and the rest.
I will advise my yoruba brothers and sisters to vote the best candidate from South East cus is the turn of the south and south must present the best president so that things won't get worse more than it is now.
Pls before u attack me read it and judge ur self. God bless Nigeria |
