It's madness to hang the fate of over 200million people on the private plan of a single man, this govt could pass for the most irresponsible govt in the world.

Its even WORSE to do nothing and continue to import!! So this is a case of half bread being better than none

alawi5k:
PMB is not corrupt. Quote me anywhere!

.

Even if PmB is not corrupt, that doesn't make him competent!!

mushystuff:
After all the many lies and propaganda this is what it has come to? I wonder what Ibe Kachikwu is still doing there as minister-in-name only...he should resign and hold up his honour rather than keep getting tainted with these dirty northern thieves and demons who will do everything to keep bleeding the country dry in the name of crude oil.

When is Dangote coming on board with his refinery sef?

See what enjoying government money and privileges can do to the mind of a well educated man!! You would think that by now this chap would have resigned! He has become totally invisible in this government.

Is this airline actually operating in Nigeria yet? I am never excited when we have this type of "we PLAN to set up...", "we will SOON start operations...." statements.

Waste of money. In less than one year almost 50% of these cars will be nowhere to be found. In two years, that will increase to about 90% nowhere to be found.

How. Much tax is this e. Money playing sef.

What is celebrity about her?? As far as I'm concerned she isn't all that pretty anyway, just fair and uses a lot of make up. You can tell she'd look terrible early in the morning before make up.

Story!! Danfo wilm break the law a million times yet they will never be fined!

When is the debate!!?

This na common Haven homes na

Try selling it first, then you'll know the true value!

I had a land that was 'valued' at N23mln in Port Harcourt After 3years of trying to sell it I sold it for N16mln.

The most overtly homophobic Nigerians are usually those who have either NEVER traveled out of the country, or who have decided to block their minds to global realities. I believe in the union of men and women, and as a Christian, I do not support homosexuality. However, I will defend with every drop of my blood, people's right to a sexual orientation. Even our constitution guarantees that right. People should just chill. With all our over sabi spirituality, there is crime everywhere, including ritual killing. Hypocrites everywhere.

If my sexual orientation is with animals, is that okay too?

Look at how a housing complex has so much greenery and vegetation!! All our plenty estates in Lekki, are just concrete jungles. The dedicate just a single space to green area, but around the buildings? Na lie!!

Genevieve makes me remember Gabrielle Union!!

Guestlander:
Soon you will be able to live in Ibadan and work in Lagos or vice versa.
My vote goes to the APC, If you don't like that you can take a dive in you know where.

ordinarily that's what It should mean, but with this government you just never know. If the government is going to maintain the train service then trust me it will never work. However if it's going to be managed by the private sector then I can envisage that at some point there will be a time where you actually can live in ibadan and work in lagos

kennys:
It is better we all have a rethink and forget about APC and PDP... these are the parties enslaved this Country till today. These are the two parties where you will find all the corrupt politicians.
Save your vote for a better party not the one that will futher destroy your future.

Well said. I find it shocking that so many Nigerians say they are tired of corruption, want a better nigeria, yet will still vote either PDC or apc and say they don’t want their vote to waste!!! We are a very shallow and hypocritical people indeed. The truth is that we condemn it from outside but many people wish they can also enter there and hammer their own and safeguard their own family, while everyone else can go to hell or come and be lining up by their gate, carrying bag for them and saying oga this and oga that.

I’m not say that anyone should necessarily vote Oby, but if you are really desirous of change then vote a candidate outside of pdp and apc and let your voice be heard. Your vote is not wasting!!!

I doubt the authenticity of this story. We all know one of the biggest things we import is petroleum products, which has got more expensive. So how could our import bill have fallen so drastically. Unless he means only food items, then I might believe him.

I'm curious. Does the building have central air conditioning? And I hope there is plenty of space for parking with multiple entry and exit points. Let this church not start causing traffic on the Abuja Airport road.

Mizwisdom:
So much improvement now

You call what we have now improvement!!?

krattoss:
Nigeria should step up to host the tournament and show the world how we re truly the giant of Africa

We ain't no giant of Africa!!

Many of the guys who sell cars are into fraud. Where do they suddenly raise capital from to invest in all these cars. What they park in the shops is up to N500mln. Where did it come from?

All said and done, it doesn't look very different.

greyham:
Not in Nigeria, Diesel becomes more expensive.

I've been observing the trend for a long time.

International prices crash, local pump prices go up; International prices go up, local pump prices go up.

That's the shitty economics in Nigeria. What you learn in school about economics does not happen on the streets of Nigeria.

Not necessarily though. There is always a time lag between fall in crude and impact on pump price. The diesel landing in lagos today was refined weeks ago and based on crude price negotiated weeks before that as well. If crude stays stable at $60,then expect diesel prices to come down in the next 1 to 2 weeks.

This phenomenon occurs in US, UK and elsewhere.

And to be fair, diesel was as low as N150 at some point last year.

Diesel price should quickly follow suit. At $60 diesel should be in the N200 to N210 range.

And that was the best he could come up with?? At least APC is busy with governance. But as someone with 18months on his hands, the document should be better than that. I can write a better one.

Why is it taking forever to do 12MW of solar power? They have been talking about this since 2016. Solar is relatively east to deploy 500MW solar can be set up in 18mknths if you are serious. Once the panels are in place, the set up is relatively quick.

TheGoodJoe:
“We lost an enormous opportunity when recently oil money rose to $114 dollar per barrel and stayed there for almost a decade and we have no new airport, refinery, bridges, petrochemical plants, no new seaports to show accountability to how all the money went,’’ Babatunde Fashola.

Interestingly I didn't realize that crude prices were high for about 5 years continuously. Not a decade, but 5 years at above $100 is good enough for this country. Bear in mind that $1bln of 10 years ago has the same value as maybe $1.2bln of today's money.

Okoyeebo:
Lol

They should build a rail station in a certain location simply because people go there once a month?

The same you advocating for a station in Redemption camp is questioning a stop in Abeokuta a major city?

Let me not talk.

I'm not saying it shouldn't pass through abeokuta, but I think a spur to say Ijebu ode and on to Ore and Benin through redemption camp could be useful and commercially viable

CodeTemplar:
Our manufacturing industry will grow when govt can use $5m ( N2 Billion ) to build a 15 MW power plant like Oyedepo is doing here.

Nigeria spent $16 Bn on power. That could have given us over 75,000 MW of power but see where we are today. Battling with 5,000 MW at exurbitant rate of N30-50/Kwh. That alone has killed manufacturing because your rivals in Asia get power supply for a fraction of that, sometimes as low as N6/KWh.

I rather doubt the N6 per kwh

Typical rich igbo man kind of house!!! No real class!!

Sleekfingers:
Of course it is unfair....but that's the truth....they need to upgrade....we have so many so called graduates of civil engineers etc but they are way behind their foreign counterparts...

Way behind is an understatement!!! If you live Lekki you'll be familiar with the new bus stops on that axis. Some of them actually have the floor sloping forwards towards the road instead of backwards towards. This then causes water to pool by the edge of the road causing traffic as motorists on the right have to come inwards.

If that is what Nigerian engineers can come up with, then they shouldn't be anywhere near a multi billion dollar project such as this railway.

olujastro:
AutoReportNG, It'll be sited at Ebute-Metta (not Iddo) where the old railway station will be demolished for this one.
Apapa terminal will also have a mega station, while the remaining two mega train stations will be in Abeokuta and Ibadan.

Abeokuta ke? Is that the route of the main track? Or does it branch off to abeokuta? Seems unreasonable to want to catch an express train to lagos at 6am from ibadan to go through abeokuta.

However, if this train doesn't go through redemption camp I'll be thoroughly disappointed. It would help the situation during their monthly holy ghost nights immeasurably. Imagine the revenue on those days, even if its just once a month!! At least 300k to 500k people (guessing) go there from lagos every month. Not to mention those from ibadan environs and abeokuta environs.
