I think all those lands along the rail tracks should be reserved for industrial estates.
Soon churches and mosques and residential developers will be falling over themselves to go there.

We need at least a constant 15000MW to kick start genuine industrialization. 5400 is too low for a huge country like Nigeria.

ogododo:
You be kid my paddy

How? The Ghanaians started that silly practice.

Bkayyy:
Are you willing to go to war for it? People like kagame only comes after war.
We had someone of his caliber ( Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu) but we were too blinded by tribalism to see it. The dude had visions, he liberated Nigeria from colonial powers for a day

Not necessarily after a war. Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore did not come after any war.
Don't even mention Nzeogwu, there's nothing to suggest he could have been different.

We need a Paul Kagame in Nigeria.

slivertongue:
copied in Nigeria

Nigeria says: been there done that. If you do the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, some say it's a sign of mental illness.

How can a serial killer escape from custody?

dustydee:
Looks pleasing to the eye. I hope Nigerians will be more involved in the next phase and beyond.

Nigerians are involved now and hopefully it will stay that way.

[quote author= post=92987372]You guys hope on milking others to sustain yourselves gradually diminishing.

We are loving the revolution going on in eastern ports and activation of River ports both in the east and north[/quote]Milking you how? The revenue from Lagos ports goes to the federation account which it is then shared by all the states. Who then is Milking whom?

loopman:
Stop posting and boring us with random pictures populated from internet, show us how River Niger will connect from the Atlantic Ocean to Onitsha.

All these insults, academics and gymnastics ko necessary

Thank you jare. Insult laden replies without telling us exactly how the ship will navigate from the ocean to Onitsha.

CodeTemplar:
Nigeria is an artificial country built around the Niger Delta. It is a marriage of five other geopolitical zones to the ND for the sole purpose of accessing their oyel. It explains so much.

1. It explains corruption : - We vote in our stealing representatives to manage our ND loot and being a loot, the loot it also. It isn't stealing technically because the money isn't ours really. Just a loot we can all lay our hands on and decided to nominate trustworthy thieves from among us to manage without relooting it.

2. It explains nepotism : - It is a logical thing for all men in power to reloot the loot towards their villages and attain hero status there.

3. It explains where civil service is corrupt : - Nobody who understands the motive behind Nigeria will want to watch all the loot relooted while they watch. Most people join in the banquet looting and it means whatever escapes the too looters is faced with another relooting prospects from lower level leaders.

Arrant nonsense. Lugard couldn't have known about Niger delta oil.

proeast:
Funny people, the ignorance these afonja people always display can be a comic relief. You guys heard landlock and started making noise about it without understanding the true meaning when they say that a country is landlocked and economically disadvantaged.

Any country that has direct access to the ocean through big Rivers is technically not landlocked! When economists talk about a country being landlocked, they mean that such a country has no means of importing or exporting goods directly through the ocean. An example of such country is Ethiopia, they lost Eritrea and automatically became landlocked because there is virtually no way to access the Red sea except through Djibouti or Eritrea. However, in the case of Igboland/Biafra, we have direct access to the ocean! Vessels can easily navigate to Onitsha or Obuaku and drop or pick goods! The how are we landlocked when we have access to the ocean??

Are you guys this thick and dense in the head to assimilate intelligent facts??

Tufiakwa!!

No ocean going vessel will navigate any river to Onitsha, stop deceiving yourself.

Omoejigbahe:
For those of you that voted for this clueless government in 2019, your lives will be run the same way mumu bubu is running this country. Citizens of a country are treated like thrash by other nations, when their president n leaders treat them like gabbage.

You need to keep quiet, this inability to think beyond petty little things like tribe and party affiliations is one of the reasons Nigeria is the way it is.
You think Nigeria became like this just six years ago?

That was Nigeria probably 100 year ago.

joelbooks:
I don't missed it. ... Onitsha Port is the same as Lokoja Port, Shiroro Port , Makurdi Port, Zungeru Port. .... because they are all landlocked. You can only navigate through dredged rivers. You cannot have direct access through ocean going ships

They just don't understand the meaning of being land locked. You can ship to any destination on the planet, but if you are landlocked your shipment goes to the nearest port where it will be transported by a different method to your final destination.
In this case to Onitsha by a boat.
Whether you are in Onitsha or Maiduguri, Nigeria is not a landlocked country, but if you break away pere.

Perhaps Nigerians need this type of humiliation everywhere on the continent before they realize a lot of things are wrong with their country.

If you have 200 million people who are undeserved in almost every way and you still need to go to Ghana and South Africa to experience humiliation then something is not right.

Timantech:
The minister for transport signed a deal with crcc and the Chinese government

Which minister? Because Amaechi already stated how much was borrowed under his watch.

T9ksy:
Same old narratives that we've all heard before. nothing new.

Shebi na pesin wey look at the bride's face , go notice say, she dey cry.

I, as a true "shoin of the shoil" don't give a ra.t a.r.s.e about where the ibos came from or their intended destination, as long as they keep their inherent mischief outta my region.

I have read different versions of this nonsense here on Nairaland many times. Today it was written by Urhobo guy. SMH.

Timantech:
My uncle in the USA called and told me about this deal in march that it was even written Chinese language and our leaders signed it and it was top secret but person wey tell am follow go the China..

Your uncle is lying because there's no truth to this. $33 billion contract signed by whom and for what purpose?

$500 Billion? Naija and rumors.

MsAllison:
the worst thing that can happen to you as a freedom fighter is to include an afonja or partner with an afonja man

They can sell you out any day any time for a plate of gbegiri

Coming from people who demolish each other's properties with bulldozers. Who wants to partner with you in the first place?

Face of hypocrisy �

Signature: dear nairalanders let's shun tribalism and hatred and move on as one family.

Let us restructure Nigeria! It is the sane thing to do. Not restructuring can only lead to bigger problems.

plusfield:
Amechi is the one now claiming to be igbo. It's time for presidency and he is now telling all that ikwerre is igbo

Ipobs have been saying on this website since time immemorial that ikwere are Igbo, now why are some people from the SE trying to deny him?

MsAllison:

balderdash and claptrap
Tinubu is a bastard drug dealing vagabond
get used to the truth!

How did Tinubu come into this? If you want to win the presidency build bridges and fight for it, next thing you are mentioning Tinubu.
This is becoming worrisome.

adecz:
Due to incompetence & lack of
ideas, Buhari has turned a once proud
country into a beggar nation.

Everywhere he goes is to go & spoil our
name or beg for money.

He has a Fulani Finance minister whose
only knowledge of finance & economy
is to beg, borrow or tax.

He himself that has never passed any
academic qualification is also Petroleum
Minister...

A nonsense party & government!!

And Nigeria was a rich superpower under previous governments?

ursullalinda:
A very rich country acting poor........because of the greedy fellows @ the helm of affairs.........our own is to collect .........giant indeed........see how they are dashing us things like beggars.......I pray God visit our leaders and deal with them the way they deal with our treasures.......May God bless the giver.

You are right, at this point we should be the one sending relief to poorer countries.

Demolition man. Now, his own house has been demolished. Who says there's nothing like karma?

NGpatriot:

Please, go away with your ignorance.

Ignorance is when you take a bulldozer to demolish an airport. Idiocy is when you defend such action.

TheGladiator:
Not true. Not the same. China is taking equity ownership upandan. China is dishing out loans at seemingly innocuous terms, albeit draconian small print. They prey on desperation of the continent for capital to develop. They exploit corruption of our visionless leaders. We are entering a new era of slavery without chains.

China did not develop the way you suggest. They largely paid their way to development. Technology transfer with serious controls on foreign ownership of assets.

Africa, and the world indeed, must be vigilant and deal cautiously with this ambitious, subterfuge superpower from the east!

You don't know what you are talking about. Do you know how much foreign capital in China? Do you know how foreign capital is still going to china even now?
Keep on deceiving yourself by creating the Chinese boogeyman who is out to get you.
The Japanese, the Koreans, Americans, Europeans all have massive investment in China.
If you care you care to find out you are free to do so.

NGpatriot:
What dumb and irrelevant rubbish is this one talking about?

It is not by force to comment or even be in the internet.

You are barking at the wrong tree.

zikter:
This is encouraging. Infrastructure wise, this government is trying. The biggest challenge now is that of insecurity

I completely agree with you.

The "Jonathan started it" crew will soon arrive.
This project was used like a piece of cheese on a trap for ibos for many years.
I am happy those guys are pleased and happy with the progress made.
I am sure they are not ipobs.
