Politics › Re: NRC Suspends Train Operations Along Abuja-Kaduna Route Indefinitely by COMPAQ(m): 10:11am On Mar 29, 2022
JosephXavier:
This is the second time this Kaduna-Abuja railway is being suspended because of attack in the past four months

The FG will soon fix it in not less than a week but I still wonder why FG won't also pay attention to South East the way it is done to other regions

It is only in South East that train don't operate in Nigeria
There is Lagos - Ibadan (SW); there is Abuja Kaduna (NC), there is Warri - Itakpe is (SS).

Please tell us which EXISTING train service operates in NW and NE? Since its only SE that there is no train.

Besides I thought PH Maiguguri was undergoing rehabilitation? This passes through Aba and Enugu and Umuahia. So what's your beef?

Before now they should have stationed like 10 well armed, but in mufti army men or Swat police on that train. Say 2 per coach to provide security. Same way US marshals are always on US bound flights, but you'd never know who they are.

With only 2 train movements back and fro daily, it should not be a difficult thing to organise logistically. They should be kitted with sattelite phone, walkie-talkie etc to call for back up chopper from Kaduna Airforce base or from Abuja, depending on which is closer to where the train is.

I don't know why simple things are hard for those in government to conceptualise and implement!!
Politics › Re: Sanwo-olu’s Second Term Bid Stirs Controversy In Lagos APC by COMPAQ(m): 5:30pm On Mar 28, 2022
I do not think Sanwo Olu has done anything fantastic. To me he seems like a man who is too weak to govern Lagos. Fashola was able to step on a few toes to get some things done, but Sanwo Olu doesn't seem to be able to. In my view, Lagos is slowly regressing in the area of street urchins, agberos, touts, lawlesness of our Danfo drivers, Omonile wahala and the like. Traffic is getting worse with no solution is sight.

He's a good talker, but I'm not seeing enough. having said that though, I struggle with who we could replace him with. If PDP can get a very, very viable candidate, i think we need a change. If nothing else to get Tinub's influence out of the state.

You guys are so vulnerable, you'll believe anything these politicians say. The LCC is desperate to resume their operations of milking road users dry of their money and have come up with cock and bull stories about how "useful" they are to the society, and you people are ready to fold. Have they answered to what transpired during the end sars protest? It's like a thief coming to beg for forgiveness but is not ready to return the stolen property
How is LCC complicit in EndSars? People were gathered there peacefully for days and nothing happened. Then powers that be from Abuja or wherever sent troops there and the rest is history. Even Sanwo Olu said he didn't know about the order for police/army to go there. So how is LCC complicit?

In my own opinion, Lagos state needs money, so the create a diversion for contracts to be signed in millions of $$$. Lockdown the bridge and make life unbearable to Nigerians.

Kiddwaya shared a screenshot of President Buhari standing on a stage covered in red carpet which had stones underneath it to balance the stage.

Meanwhile for Champions Leagues final and World Cup final, they assemble a solid stage in 5minutes!! Yet these guys knew PMB was coming to Lagos days in advance! I wonder how long it took to set this up!

The thing should just be like Lego or interlocking blocks. In 5minutes they should be done.

Nairaland General › Re: What Going On In Nigeria? Why Do People Beg Alot by COMPAQ(m): 4:12pm On Mar 23, 2022
Or11:
I will get straight to the point. I get messages all the time from people in Nigeria asking for money and the surprising thing is it's abled bodied men who beg. Some of them act like big boys on social media but codedly begging using every excuse to ask for money.

I wonder why they can't go and work. Ok there are no jobs but what happened to being an entrepreneur. Anyone can be a real estate agent, car sales agent, shipping/clearing agent or just learn a handwork.

I don't go on Facebook anyone because as soon as I go online, the next thing is *beep beep*, a message comes in that reads "baba every red, pls send anything I go manage am", " My dstv sub don expire, na weekend, borrow me 20k, I go pay you back on Monday ", " My pikin get asthma, abeg I need money buy inhaler", "bros pls I travel go village and spend all my money, I need funds to travel back to Lagos and many more.

When LASG wants to clear all those operating business under bridges now, Lagosians will be saying where will they go? Government should find somewhere for them.

Like under bridges were designed for business. What of the cost to govt and motorists of the shutdown and repair of that bridge?

I'm sure Petroleum products were stored there and ended up catching fire.

I was a fan of his pre 2015 due to his perceived anti corruption. But his government has been the worst we have ever seen! Corruption in govt was initially low in his first and second year as people were trying to figure him out. Once he was discovered to be all bark, no bite and easily manipulated by his cabal, corruption returned full blast.

Not to say Nigeria still wouldn't have struggled under any president considering we are a mono product economy, but Buhari has made things far worse!!

Rugaria:
No nation built on nepotism and sectionalism archives her full potential. Infact most promising states around the globe have imploded in the past, under the enermous weight of their iniquitous history full of tribalism, favouritism and grand injustices. This is so, because for the people of any given country to come together and galvanize their collective abilities towards modernizing their state, there must exist a sense of nationalism, patriotism and a common purpose. This can't happen when it has become a government policy to marginalize, antagonize and deprive a certain section that contributes immensely towards the economic growth of the country, her fare share of national projects and recognitions..

A case in point here is the over dramatized Second Niger bridge. In the history of this eternally convulsing amalgam, no project has been so dramatized, so politicized and so unashamedly utilized as a political football by the close minded political class in Abuja, at the detriment of the welfare and greater economic activities in the South East and the South South regions. The drama started way back during the military era, when the aging bridge built by the then Eastern government in the 50s, started to show signs of wear and tear. This bridge was bombed during the Nigeria - Biafra war and was extensively damaged as a result of the endless skirmishes there. For a long time, the bridge has been the only shaky link between the former Eastern Nigeria and the rest of the country. With the economic activities going on in such wonderful places like Onitsha, Aba, Port Harcourt, Owerri and the rest, the enermous economic importance/impact of this bridge can not be over emphasized..

It's against this backdrop, that one is overwhelmingly alarmed at the disdain with which the federal government has carried on with this project over the years. Firstly, under Babangidas administration, a drawing of the bridge was made with plans for a rail crossing. But nothing happened as it rgards construction proper. Obasanjo came in and only laid the foundation stones few hours to his abdication of office in 2007, which was basically nothing but a taunt" to those who considered the bridge an essential project to them! The plan for the rail lines over the bridge was also shelved. Jonathan did start the project but suggested a partnership between the construction companies, the state government and the federal government as it regards the funding. Then came Buhari, whose administration saw the second Niger bridge as the most convenient project to use as a balancing act for his brazen but shameful display of bigotry and classic igbophobia.

The bridge will now have almost a dozen Toll Gates!! This will be the first and only project built under any administration since the coming of civilian rule in 1999, that will demand that those using it will pay for all bills incurred during construction! Ofcourse, it's mainly the people of the South East. There are many projects in the North being handled as we speak, by the federal government that have bigger cost outlays when compared to the second Niger bridge but whose total cost are shouldered entirely by the federal government, even if it means borrowing! A good example is the nearly One trillion Naira Abuja - Zaria - Kano road. Infact, Nigeria has gone on to borrow billions of dollars to erect highways and railways and pipelines to Niger republic, another country! Nigerians as a people will collectively pay for these projects in another country, while the South Easterners, who are going to be the main users of The second Niger bridge, will pay through their noses for EVERY cent used to build that bridge!

"Fellow Nigerians", Is this fair??


Below is The Muhammadu Buhari Toll gates at the yet to be commissioned second Niger bridge:
Bros calm down!! Have those in Lagos not been paying tolls on Lekki - Epe expressway for years? Before Obasanjo cancelled tolls on roads, were there not tolls on expressways nationwide? As part of the Highway Development & Management Initiative launched by Fashola recently and which should be concluded this year, are not about 12 other road across the country not going to be tolled??

So what's this nonsense about it being only SE?? Besides the old Niger bridge is there as an alternative route if you do not want to pay the toll.
