capitalzero: I agree with you. I think north is planning for eventual Yugoslavia of nigeria. The rail line would serve as economic integration for niger and northern nigeria.
it's to benefit northern states. they want their own house, their cars
but it's to benefit nigeria. hehehehe
Agboriotejoye: What they are doing is wrong in a sane clime. If Niger wants to move goods faster, they can liaise with Nigeria to build a rail. I don't see how building a rail to the poorest desert in Africa is right. The cost of the rail alone is about the GDP of Niger. Besides, Nigeria's internal trade alone thumps whatever Niger has to offer so we should concentrate on our internal trade. Ghana is a far richer and industrialised country whom we can gain a lot from by facilitating trade with and you know the funny thing, there's a rail linking Ghana to Nigeria being built by EACH country along the line supervised by ECOWAS. Why didn't we just build it all alone?
which senator ever fight for anything ? rubber stamp
Agboriotejoye: Show me where USAID thinks the line will be useful. Niger uses Benin port more than they use Lagos and Benin does not have a rail to Niger. The problem with using Lagos is the congestion of the port, it's even mentioned in the article. Lastly, where's the logic in building Lagos-Ibadan, then Kano-Maradi while we don't even have a date for Lagos-Kano. Nigeria's internal trade beats that of Niger in tens so I don't see what the hype with Niger, the poorest country in the world is about.
Maxymilliano: Isn't banditry criminal any longer ?
Why not extend same courtesy to armed robbers, cultists, ritualists , rapist, pen robbers, thieves etc and criminalize peaceful protesters and agtitators since the ultimate objective is to make peace
you are llooking for polticians not good leaders. ghana must go politician. ibo should be next president.
jumper524: Tinubu is a good leader and even a better politician. But the circumstances of he being the APC flag bearer to clinch the seat doesn't favour the party. Tinubu is a Muslim and needs a northern christain as vice. tinubu is only capable of winning the Southwest region in the south and I know for sure no christain northern VP can give him up to 50% in the north. I think the APC best bet is Amaechi. and I believe buhari would give Amaechi/elrufai his blessings that that political olosho Dogara( tinubu planned VP).
just like tinubu, Amaechi invested massively in the APC road to power, and unlike tinubu, he's not been rewarded that much. apart from minister slot, he's not had other benefits despite his investment. tinubu on the other hand has the VP slot, several ministers, as well as the highest party position.
BlackBaron: That is my opinion of a possible candidate. He is benefitting from the flaws of democracy. Apparently, he only appeals to the lowly educated and certain criminally minded elements of society.
Your institutions are failing due to people like Tinubu amongst others. Acting on his whims, corrupt and an insincere leader helping himself to the treasuries in the SW.
That his type hold sway in the SW with his handout and thugs is the result of 'Demagoguery'. Irrational poorly educated electorates would be the only ones who see him fit as leader!
even Fashola wey dey say work. see how BRT dey break down.
pasol4real: Sorry,he will never ever get there You can permutate all you want ,it won’t change anything . And it’s really baffling how some of you refer to Lagos like it’s one Dubai or something . I wonder sometimes if it’s this same Lagos I grew up in I mean this filth of a state. The only thing good about Lagos is it’s economy n tinubu has no hand in this, the Federal government n migrants from other states developed the economy. The only thing tinubu did in Lagos apart from few roads, is to entrench godfatherism in Lagos politics. Tinubu will not even rank in top 5 past governors of Lagos state.
learned professionals you say? And they no fit stop corona!
olaodun: As an elder with experience , Lawyers are the only learned professionals with respect everywhere , As a lawyer you can easily be a politician , company legal consultant , Real estate and property consultant and international human right consultant , a lecturer many things you can do
RlCHSATAN: law in naija is useless. na just show off. my family is made of of 90% lawyers. infact my family has produced 2 chief judges of my state. but all of them na wash. i hole pass all of them
you wonder how all these people with EFCC cases just die like that maybe he don escape to NIGER republic to start new life!
Ferdinandu: That is one big problem. He was already out of Government. Who is going to pay for the missing 40billion. His children will now enjoy the loot uninterrupted
