Laalaalaalaa...
Is this not the same road that barely three weeks ago Festus Keyamo said it is cleared, free and safe for travelers and that normalcy had since returned to the area and that he can also drive alone without security escorts on the Kaduna - Abuja express road to and fro Kaduna from FCT just to prove that security has since been fully restored and so enjoin all to support the APC presidential candidate in 2023?

Just Imagine a Nigeria without North... Would've been legit

Ifearnoevil:
So if I understand you,NNPC sells our crude oil,pockets the money and pays tax to the government?

Ifearnoevil:
For the first time in the history of Nigeria, people don't even know that there is an oil boom as the price of crude is nearly 90usd per barrel.
Nigeria remains the only oil producing country not witnessing any benefit from the boom.smh

CyberHustle:
How well are the privatized ones doing?

Racoon:
Nigeria can't manage Nigeria Airways, Nigerian Railway Corporation, Nigeria National Shipping Line, NNPC and now TCN(formerly NEPA) is also about to go.What is really wrong with management in Nigeria? Manpower expertise, greed, corruption, parochial politics? What?

EXCLUSIVE: NNPC declares zero FAAC remittance for eighth time as subsidy gulps N2.6trn

PROUDIGBO:
Had Air Peace been owned by Dangote, there wouldn’t have been much discussion as to who the national carrier would be! And if the couldn’t find any Fulani oligarch, then their next choice would reluctantly be to look for a Yoruba…one who’s ‘friendly’ enough and can play ball!

Look what they did with the 5G licenses recently auctioned. One would have expected that naturally the biggest players in the industry (MTN, GLO, Airtel, etc) would be the winners of the bid. But besides MTN winning, the next and only other winner was an unknown new entrant into the industry…..MAFAB! I suspected it was owned by the northern hegemony/oligarchs, and my suspicions were confirmed a few days ago when i saw who the owner was. Most likely he’s a front for more powerful and wealthy northern interests! Saw a news report few weeks back that MTN has now commenced its roll-out of 5G operations in selected parts of the country, while MAFAB hasn’t and has been given more time. You see how nepotism and other primordial considerations draws this country back?

I’ve always said fear who no fear these people! Their major aim, right from the mid 60s to date, is to control ALL the commanding heights of the Nigerian political-economy! And they have a well coordinated and ruthless operation that ensures their grip on Nigeria is not weakened in any way! Obviously, part of this script would have to entail sabotaging or undermining southern (esp’ Igbo) interests, as on a level playing field, they can’t compete.

Had Azman or Max Air been as big or bigger than Air Peace, they would have been a shoo-in to be considered as national carrier!

obailala:
Anything that would make Nigeria have a functional airline and national carrier is a welcome development; anything that would make NIGERIA AIR (or whatever they choose to call it) is very much welcome.

Only people battling with inferiority complex would think it's shameful for the Nigeria to partner with the management of the most successful airline in Africa.

Racoon:
Is it not a big shame and national embarrassment that Nigeria-the so called giant of Africa is soliciting to have the sophisticated Ethiopian Airlines as its national carrier?

Same Ethiopian Airlines that was formed just in the last two decade. Nigeria Airways crumbled. Nigerian National Shipping Line(NNSL) also crumbled. NNPC is a cesspool of endless corruption while the Nigerian Railway Corporation is struggling to breath.

Air Peace was more like a national carrier during the COVID-19 pandemic but parochial interest will not allow the FG to consider it for this role. Meanwhile, after all the lies of investors desperately bidding to be stakeholders by Lai Mohammed, only Ethiopian Airlines was the only interested party? Lie telling Is a disease.

https://twitter.com/jidesanwoolu/status/1572350706161418243?t=6ycfmMeR58YLubes4bg0vA&s=19[/quote]This IGI they keep bandying up and down is both truth and fallacy. Yes LASG has been more aggressive with collection. But a lot of it also comes from the devaluation of the Naira and is due to no creative work by the LASG.

If the LASG 10years ago earned 5% WHT on a $1mln transaction of an International Oil Company (IOC) based in Lagos when e-rate was $/200, that would be N10mln. Today at $/700 that would be N35mln. 350% increase by doing nothing!!!

hohafrank:
Osinbajo should have been presidential candidate of APC not that Tinubu.Masses would have voted for him.

tctrills:
You can't say for certain if you don't have data.
Anwer the following questions, how many containers travel from Ibadan to Kano daily? How many containers travel from Kano to Lagos daily.
What would be the cost of moving one container? Without data, you can't say anything for certain and if you have lived in Nigeria for a while, you should know that corruption must be factored in. Simple put, it's a bad idea.

Viraltrends123:
Why are you like this, don't spoil this thread with rubbish please. This is a gift, watch the video and watch everyone happy to meet her, I'm not even sure their president can gather such crowd. EVERY ONE was in celebration mood, you think if they are not treated well they will be that happy. I watched that of Nigeria also, for a Hausa king to borrow his cars out, that Ibo people are even boasting it's their ojukwus car, a Yoruba big man to left his mansion for her, an Igbo soldier organized parade, and Igbo big men were at the airport several hours to receive her, you should know that this is not forced. I trust my people, they will never forgive and forget.

The only very bad thing I noticed is the inferiority mentality, the queen is good, some white are good, but we failed to realize that they have many bad people too, we were respecting all of them like gods, the bad ones tends to take advantage of us, and they were Soo good at their evil.

I still see the inferiority mentality in even our youth nowadays, you see restaurants treating them like a special human being or something. But, the fact still remains the same, no one was forced to look inferior, or see them as superior beings.

Tonnierichy:
Igbos are basically impossible to deal with as tenants. They'll almost chase you out of your own house. And ohhh! They can be soooo dirty

Kingspin:
Imagine the Dubai government closing down Dubai mall.
Nigerian authorities represent the highest level of irresponsibility on earth.
Some decisions they make, I always ask myself; is this decision made by a human being? Or goat?
If you ask, they will say we are playing politics, useless politics.
The government is dirty, why won't the country be dirty?

Note: My comments are not based on any tribal or religious sentiments.
I am only making general suggestions
Those markets can be closed section by section.

sharpwriter:
You are right, but you too don goof just like the person you quoted. Buhari is presently attending the annual UN general assembly in the United States. You should know Buhari never runs away from overseas trip. It doesn't matter where he is, whether US or UK, hin go still yarn okpata when his illiteracy and spirit of madness stirs him up

tctrills:
Not really, have you done your market survey? Are cargo rails profitable in Europe? Would these rails connect to the main markets? Just so you know, rail is not profitable in so many countries, why do you think Nigeria would be different?

Dalil8:
Too big to attend, had to send his vice.

For the first time, I'm liking Bubu's pride. That is how every African leader should act.

onuman:
You have no economic sense.
High Demand lowers Cost of a Service.
That's why it costs less to fly from Europe to America than from Europe to Africa.
The largest business route in Nigeria is Lagos-Benin-Onitsha-PH/Calabar route.
High patronage lowers price, and operational costs.
That's why those luxury buses that ply the above route have survived more than the luxury buses that ply the SW-North route.

KayB:
That is what small business owners face under this hike in fuel and many are aground, meanwhile, your approach is meant to fail right from the beginning because a train ride is supposed to be cheaper but you turned it into luxury where ordinary people are not considered

gibsonwales:
These vagabonds can lie ehn... Believe them at your own peril. How can you establish a business that'll cost you N4m operating cost and you claim you earn just N1.7m, yet you keep it running

Blue3k:
interesting even with Cargo traffic the rails are running at a loss. I'm not surprised about passengers rail considering they subsidize below market value like other things.

mrvitalis:
I remember predicting this thing ...years back .. infrastructure doesn't really kick start development it complement it this was what Peter Obi was arguing with osibanjo in 2019 now see the results

Speed rails are too expensive to run can never break even in a country as poor as we for now !!!!
What we needed was effective locomotive rail from Ibadan to the ports in Lagos to move containers

$150 million would have achieved that

Their is a rail from warri to lokoja ...it should have been locomotive from warri port to Abuja , with branch off to Onitsha and imo state
From onne to aba then to Enugu then to Jos and Maiduguri
All the Above can be achieved with 600 million dollars max if we have an effective government

1.5 billion dollars wasted I mean over 1 trillion Naira

If proforce and innoson where given 100 billion each to expand production they would have employed twice what this rail line would employ

1 billion to 100 cocoa clusters to build cocoa processing plants ban exportation of raw cocoa we only export cocoa powder and butter with would double value in a taxable business


This are the simple things Peter Obi is talking about ...we don't have much but we can effectively use what we have better

So today it's obvious Peter Obi was right osibanjo was wrong ....won't you still vote Peter Obi ?

If everyone can hold their governors accountable the center is just the unifying factor

We see Wike

We see umara zulum

We see hope uzodinma

We see David umahi

We see Babajide sanwolu

We see el Rufai of kaduna

We see umaru ganduje

What excuses do others have of not performing

Lately we see charles soludo

Edopesin:
Is a serious something
He fought abacha around the same time when he was an accountant and earning six figures in the USA

Buying stocks that must have done x1000000 probably gave him back the wealth he lost

All of us cannot be stupid at the same time, even Atiku supporters are shocked at the degree of lies and deceit

A vote for Peter Obi is a vote for sanity returning to our politics

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit

DeleTaller:
Let me help you to use your brain wella... Tinubu didn't start with ExxonMobil Nigeria... He began with the Mobil International in the u.s and he worked mostly on trip to audit for the Arab Oil company. So he was making money in dollars and he had safe lots of money and invested same in million dollars before he return to Nigeria to join ExxonMobil Nigeria from the U.K and here you are saying he is not rich before he became what? Someone that was sponsoring other politicians as a senator... Even Ayu, the current PDP chairman benefited from Tinubu when they were both in the Senate.
