Sokoto is under bandit rule and all the governor can think about is paying salary to imams , and you wonder why BAT is not interested in spending scarce resources on the north ? Well this OP just gave us the reason.
Softmirror: Who killed Yusuf Muhammad, the founder of 'Boko Haram'?!
General Azazi the then NSA under President Good luck Jonathan alledged that some politicians in PDP were responsible for Nigeria's insecurity challenges because they felt power ought have remained in the North after Yaradua died.
Guess what ? They quickly assassinated him before he spilled the complete beans from the pot .
blamingthedevil: The handwriting was on the wall with the results of the by-election. Atiku is on his way back too
Tinubu is a chess grandmaster, he has checkmated every single move the opposition have tried and helped them waste their time on irrelevant things. If by October there is no viable opposition platform then atiku and Co should just forget 2027 cos there is no magic they can perform.
Immatex: The cause of this derailment is very simple to determine.
From the pictures of the rail infrastructure before and after the accident, it’s easy to deduce that poor conditions of the rail infrastructure caused by a likely landslide or earth movement caused the derailment.
The pictures show that the running rails and the sleepers moved because the soil was weak and eroded perhaps by rainwaters.
The tracks had no protection by means of water channels and embankments and hence would be exposed to the effects of rainfalls and stagnant water which would erode the soil.
Additionally, with the infrastructure compromised largely due to poor engineering and environmental designs, the train itself is a very heavy machine weighing thousands of tonnes and derailed because the track couldn’t bear its weight.
It’s also evident that Nigeria Railway Cooperation is still very backward and rudimentary with regards to safety of tracks and track inspections.
Otherwise this track defects and poor engineering and environmental design inherent in the project execution process would not have happened.
Trains should be safer than roads but in Nigeria accidents happen because of negligence and corruption.
This investigation will make no difference.
Black man and inferiority complex ,see how you are running down your country like trains don't derail in saner climes , see link below in just 1 week 2 derailment happened in almighty usa ,Chicago
Nostalemate: If not for financial recklessness lifestyle how do you become broke after been paid in foreign stable currency weekly as an african talk more as a nigerian for years.
Shout-out to all Chess players and those earning from one or more In-door games like Chess and scrabble .
Bro how can I earn from chess please , I'm tired of playing chess for free .
helinues: There is something mutual about those who increased the FX they met. They all have political will.
President Tinubu is just 2 years old, oil price have not been that high but still saving .I am just imagining what our FX would be by 2031.
And to those who have been shouting it should have been more than that because of the subsidy removal, how about the state governors that their money have been increased for over a year now? How about different projects across the Nigeria regions?
Don't forget he still had to pay for backlog that buhari refused to pay , offset aviation bills and other loans like imf etc, the honest truth is Tinubu has done so well and all the expert economists have said same . Nigeria is in the right direction with president Tinubu
seunmsg: Peter Obi and his gang of haters will soon come to tell us that this is another wasteful project since Nigerians are hungry. They will ask how does this affect the price of a bag of rice in the market. But when they see something similar in another country, they will still come back to wail about Nigeria’s underdevelopment and lack of adequate infrastructure.
Dem no born Obi to criticise this project that his mentor GEJ conceived ,just wait and see , he will be silent on this project .
[quote author=naptu2 post=136538935]APC was leading, but INEC cancelled the election in 5 polling units due to irregularities. Supplementary elections were therefore held in those 5 polling units yesterday.

Quintessence44: Ogun state is currently building the world's largest garment factory, and it will position Nigeria as a textile powerhouse on a global scale, producing over 4.4 MILLION garments a day.
The factory is so massive it will employ directly and indirectly over 150,000 Nigerians.
SatoshiX: Ask yourself are there many igbos in the Army to start with? The other time, Frank Mba had to hurriedly promoted from ACP till he gets to DIG just to fill in the SE gap at the top of the Police ranking. Even during the last recruitment exercise, one of the SE governors came out to complain about the low show of interest by his people. So who do we blame? The institution or your people? Look in the mirror for the answer
Leave him let him keep looking for who to blame for his tribesmen misfortune, last month the army was begging south east folks to join the army , some of them here on nairalanda were laughing and mocking , what they don't understand is 10 years from now ,this class of 2025 army recruits will be officers and guess what , south east will have less than 5% representation and these same guy will come on nairalanda to cast aspersions and claim marginalisation.
[quote author=wwwihy post=136484838]Why cash.... can't you make transfer?
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria[/quote]My brother i tire ! So even with the level of insecurity pdp is still dumb enough to be doing cash transaction instead of transfer.
aribisala0: I am not impressed with the Minister of trade
I do not understand why we d9 nt trade majorly with our neighbours 5hat should be our focus
First of , you can't force people to trade with you , secondly, your neighbours are part of the people sabotaging your economy , owing you money for light and gas you provide them .africa is poor , the level of economic trade youneed for development can only be done with those outside Africa.
givedemwotowoto: I told you guys Madam Okonjo went to intervene, seeing how badly Nigeria’s economy was being run. At the same time she has to make positive diplomatic statements because her voice matters globally.
She was in Abuja for the Weide flag off and not this crap you are postulating and as a courtesy paid the president a visit.
The question is, did tinubu decamp from AD to form AC? Yes or no.
Stop giving flimsy excuses and childish reasons.
The guy man decamped, because AD was still existing as a political party. DECAMPING IS DECAMPING
You obviously are ignorant of what decamping means, Tinubu created his own party and did not decamping to another existing party try and use the brain God gave you
Tinubu decamped with his justice group to form AC.
Bucknor Akerele, Pa Adesanya, pa fasanya , Olu falea and others remained and continued Alliance for Democracy (AD) . The party went into extinction because of lack of patronage. It never merged with any other party.
Please ask your elders to educate you properly
Lies ! Tinubu warned AD not to romance obj in 2003 as he couldn't be trusted, they laughed at him , so he left them and setup AC , guess who was the last man standing after obj's tsunami?
lexy2014: how is that related to the and how does that answer the questions I asked you?
1. if you are going to use N3.6tr to repair a bridge, how much will be used to build a new one?
2. if it not leaving "Lagos assets" to rot is your defence, is it only Lagos that has "assets"?
It's obvious you are dull cos if you are not you will see i answered both questions, when you guys are put in a corner you start asking rhetorical questions, I mentioned other national assets getting attention , oya you tell us what other asset should get attention since you don't want 3rd mainland to get it.
lexy2014: if you are going to use N3.6tr to repair a bridge, how much will be used to build a new one?
if it not leaving "Lagos assets" to rot is your defence, is it only Lagos that has "assets"?
Please mention other high profile assets as 3rd mainland bridge that need urgent intervention, 2nd niger bridge is done and dusted ironically by the same apc you guys love to hate ,no politicians can use it for campaign any more , lagos ibadan express is done , east West road is being done so please mention any other high profile project not done or captured .
fergie001: Following the Works Minister, Dave Umahi's announcement that ₦3.6 trillion will be earmarked for the rehabilitation of the underwater structures of the Third Mainland Bridge, a former aide to former Kano State Governor, Salihu Yakasai (@dawisu) has taken a swipe at President Bola Tinubu's alleged one-sided interests.
Yakasai is a constant critic of the President's alleged focus on development in only Lagos at the expense of Northern Nigeria and even other states of the South West.
@dawisu
O'Tega (Tinubu's SSA):
@o'tegaogra
@dawisu
Dawisu should mention the busiest bridge in the whole of the north and compare it with carter or 3rd mainland bridge daily traffic , anyone playing politics with those bridges is evil ,if carter bridge collapses same Dawisu will come out to claim how irresponsible BAT is for leaving lagos assets to Rot away .
iSense247: Below is the official response of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) to the viral video of Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA, in which he claimed that Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola died poor and made mockery of his children.
It is expected that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo will show wisdom and humility by offering a public apology to the millions of sons and daughters of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola around the world.
