APC govt trying so hard to do many things that should have been done a long time ago.They should admit they have failed the masses.Planning and completing projects at the eleventh hour just because election is near won't help matters except they do something EXTRAORDINARY that will wow the masses.
And why didn't the other party in power do any of these in 16 years??

If every government had worked and the next government built on the previous one, we'd have moved forward by now and this government wouldn't have to be doing as many lines as at least 3 to 4 would have been finished in 16 years.

You all should also remember that it's not every country in Europe that has bullet trains.

The Greece, Bulgaria, Romania etc of this world don't have. So if we have trains that run at that speed, e haven't done too bad.

For your info virgin trains pendolino trains between London and Manchester operate at 250kph, so if we do 150kph we ain't that bad.

Realdeals:
Some people commenting in the negative have never seen a train let alone board it.
My only grouse with the new train is the fare, a journey of less than 30km for N750 is not fair.
Try London to Manchester and see how much you will pay. Be there complaining of N750! That can barely buy 5 cokes.

Politics › Re: FG Hands Over 35km Apapa-oworonshoki Expressway To Dangote For Repair by COMPAQ(m): 6:05pm On Sep 16, 2017
FG should concession the key strategic roads in Nigeria.

Lagos Ibadan
Shagamu Benin (and rest of East West road)
Ibadan Ilorin (on to Abuja)
Port Harcourt Enugu
Abuja Kaduna
Kaduna Kano
Owerri Onitsha
Onitsha Enugu

There may be more since I'm not familiar with the north, but these are roads that should be in tip top shape at all times.

If I concession Lagos Ibadan for say 1bln for 10 years annual payment of N100mln, I upgrade infrastructure, am responsible for maintenance and I toll and keep all receipts for myself (of course still paying Company income tax on my profits), that seems like a win win to me - as follows:

For the people, yes they pay a toll, but the road remains in top top shape for 10 years. I'd rather pay N2k going to ibadan and back (N1k each way) on a spotless road than not pay and have issues with my car, waste more time and have more risk of dying.

For government, there is no need to budget for the road for 10 years and they actually get annual fee and taxes

For the economy at large, it add multiplier effects in terms of faster logistics, less loss of life for accidents
Support businesses will get a piece of the pie I e proper trailer parks and those selling food etc, and of course people working at the toll Plaza earn an income.

Although I do not agree with the approach being taken by Buhari, the question I have for the people of the South East is that the various issues of marginalization, how come no complaint is being laid at the foot of the governors. The governors always point to the FG as the cause of the problems and yet the people stupidly believe.

No region has gained due to its people in power. The only people that benefit are the politicians through corruption, otherwise the north should have been a dubai by now, but they are even the poorest region of all. So where has the money gone?

What have governors of the SE been doing since for its people since 1999.
Politics › Re: Power Generation Hits All Time High Of 7001 MW by COMPAQ(m): 4:23pm On Sep 15, 2017
Flets:
Fools everywhere.

Fools will agree that we doubled our highest production in less than two months (from 3300MW to 7000MW) without any capital infrastructural input. I guess we generated the extra power from thin air. APC is just desperate to find at least one campaign point.... but sorry this one cant fly. We are in total darkness even in rainy season

Again, Fools everywhere

The last reported peak power generation (Wednesday 13 September 2017) was 4142.5MW (courtesy of three)

http://www.pwh.gov.ng/management/manage/webpages/reg_upload/uploads_images/14900192759855.pdf
You shouldn't be in a rush to insult and criticize! if you'd only spare some time to think, you might realize the answer to your own question.

We do not need any further capital investment to generate more power, because we have thousands of megawatts stranded because we have no gas to fire them! So all that is needed is more gas and pronto, the power plants produce more power!!

Now I am not saying that we actually DID produce 700+Mw, I'm just giving you reasons why it COULD have been possible.

The FG is supposed to work for Nigeria's interest and not Atikus interest. If Atikus is monopolizing port operations with Intels, why shouldn't that monopoly be broken if it's in the best interest of the country, regardless of if Atiku is in APC or not. This just shows the mind of the individual. He's only interested to make money and further his empire, not the to better the lot of the people.

Ezenwa's cost us the game. It wasn't a penalty, but due to his experience and clowning around he gave the referee an opportunity to give the penalty. He looked like he was getting a little too comfortable and confident. In games like this, a keeper that's not very busy needs to constantly be on edge.

Politics › Re: Abike Dabiri-Erewa Reacts To Killing Of Nigerians In South Africa by COMPAQ(m): 7:20pm On Sep 03, 2017
While I don't condone extra judicial killings, the truth is that Nigerians are indisciplined and corrupt and we take that to a lot of places we go to. I have been to SA and my Nigerian friend living there showed me an area of jo burg dominated by Nigerians that native South Africans are terrified to go to. Even SA police tread with caution there. And what do our boys do there? Drugs, fraud, prostitution etc. Not to say that there aren't honest business men in SA, but just like we do in Nigeria here, we fail to conduct ourselves properly. If a Nigerian drug dealer in SA gets killed, should we be making a fuss!? If Nigerian police had killed Evans, many of us would rejoice that a notorious criminal is off the streets. What of the ALUU 4? So we are not better when it comes to random killings in Nigeria.

Nice! We really need to encourage local tourism in Nigeria. Wentbto olumo Rock last week with my family and had a good time.

But before local tourism and vacations can take off we need good interstate roads, security, good marketing, well built resorts etc. Funny enough we have some decent resorts, but their marketing is so poor.

For example I thought of going to obudu but I couldn't even find a functional website for them. Is that a serious resort?

All these good news may not crash electricity tarrifs as the discos are seriously milking us dry. Fg really needs to do something.
We Nigerians are always looking for crash in everything! Crash in phone tariffs, crash in electricity prices, crash is price of cars, crash in dollar rate. And for what? Only to consume. You better put on your thinking cap to find out what you can Produce! My dad told me when i was young not to pray for prices of stuff to come down cos they never will, but rather to pray to be able to continue to afford it. Meaning my income will have to rise to meet it. $1 in 1980 America will buy much more than one dollar today, so it's not only in Nigeria prices go up. Do you look at the cost of production at all before expecting priced to come down? So everyone should make losses because of you abi.

ritababe:
we need industries not shopping mall, we have alot of them already.
We need more of everything. Remember though that this is a private investment. Any investor is free to come into the country. We won't chase them because they are bringing FDI, while we continue to work on bringing heavy industry FDI into the country.

You should also recognise that retail is easy to enter because of the size of our population. Industry is more complicated because of the technological complications, Port size, ease of logistics etc. For ev it seems strange that despite our big population, Samsung and LG don't have manufacturing plants here, but asides the issues mentioned above, for a factory to break even, it must produce at a certain scale that our economy might not be able to support because our purchasing power for such things isn't big enough - which is why they will continue to import or at best assemble.

N43MLN AT 370 exchange rate comes to $116k. Meanwhile a new one in US is circa $60k. Only the AMG is about $73k. I know one still has to ship and pay duty, but this seems excessively priced.
