Politics › Re: Senator Shehu Sani Reacts To The Shutting Down Of AIT By NBC by JAWBONE(m): 2:24pm On Jun 07, 2019

Antoeni:
The Commission’s monitoring reports on AIT/Raypower indicate the use of divisive comments accredited to the segment of “Kakaaki”, tagged, “Kakaaki Social”, where inciting comments like, “Nigeria is cursed, we declare independent state of Niger Delta”, “Nigeria irritates me”, “this country is gradually Islamizing” and other similar slogans are used without editorial control in breach of the broadcast.
Nice one NBC It’s in Order

"Nigeria irritates me" is what you define as hate speech? Who is not irritated by the terrible situation in this country, where people do not mind risking their lives to cross deserts and oceans just to get out. You know something about you APC asslickers, nothing that this govt does is out of place. always finding ways to defend impunity at the highest. I can't tell if this is sheer ignorance or you guys just want to sound intelligent but i remeber that shiite who was a staunch supporter of Buhari. When the dogs of impunity came for him, his overlord was not there to save him. So keep supporting lawlessness, when it comes for you that is your own cup of tea.

I get your point bro. But looking at the matter as a whole, there is more to this than just comparing project just by the cost.

Even if the government wants to steal, why will they bring out that exuberant price difference? That alone should tell you there are modalities and the report by the OP is just the heading, if you do the feasibility studies you will unravel the reasons for the price differences.

The media now just carry news without giving in-depth explanation as to the reason why things happened. Just that I currently don’t have time now, if I can make just little bit of research we will know why the prices are different and we can reach a logical conclusion.

But in conclusion, prices will always be different for project across countries even with the same contractors coz situations are different. Why the price difference is this much, I don’t know but I know that if proper research is done, that will be unraveled and logical deductions can be made whether the government inflates the price or not.

Thank you. My submission is also based on past history of Nigerian govt inflating projects. Last year there was also a report that it is more expensive to build a km of road in Nigeria than most countries of the world

Iblad0994:
This is the most false statement I’ve ever seen in my life. Why will the price of Toyota be thesame everywhere?? Don’t you factor in import tax, clearance, government policy.

I know of lot of countries that the price of cars are damn expensive such that people don’t even want to import cars because government charge too much on duties to discourage people from importing.

Take for example trade sanction on imported vehicles in other countries, do you mean the car price there will be thesame as another country without sanctions??

The cost to build one mile of road depends on the terrain, country, source to raw materials and lot of other factors. Do you mean the cost to build one mile of road in Brazil will be the same as that of Nigeria for example?

He is trying to correct you and you’re calling him zombie. Sometimes you argue not to win but to learn bro.

When Toyota produces car, they put a price on it. If the price changes, then it as a result of the specific country economic policies. The price difference among countries cannot be very significant. A brand new toyota cannot cost 30000 dollars in US and sell for 25000 dollars in Nigeria when converted to Naira at production cost, if the cost of importation from Nigeria for American buyers is not up to 5000 dollars, they would simply stop buying Toyota in America and start importing from Nigeria.

Cost to build a mile of road does not depend on terrain only. Yes terrain matters, even in Nigeria it costs more to build a road in the South than in the North because of the terrain
but that does not explain why a bigger project in size and functionality would cost less than a similar project. Terrain does not fully explain why a smaller railyway project in Nigeria should cost more than a bigger railway project in Ethiopia.

The projects are the same because they are both railway projects constructed by the same company?

So, Toyota Camry car in Nigeria and Ethiopia share the same cost just because they are made by the same company?

I hope and pray that you people are not the smartest people in your village because if so, your village is doomed.

The price of a brand new Toyota camry cost the same anywhere, any price difference would be negligible or else people would take advantage to arbitrage. I know your brain cannot comprehend what I just typed because you have donated it to sycophancy but just try and do some research. ZOMBIE

1. Ethiopia is a country, Lagos is a state in Nigeria

2. Ethiopia is constructing a rail project, but Lagos is constructing Metro rail project with 10 lane freeway and BRT bus access

3. Ethiopia borrowed money from China, Lagos state is self-funding their metro rail

4. Ethiopia is not building a metro system with many rail bridges, on swampy land in Iganmu, across the Lagos Lagoon and the Lagos Marina

The Lagos Metro rail is the largest public works in Africa, it's what sovereign Nations embark with sovereign wealth on, not states.

As we speak, work is still going on non-stop.

Again, if you are going to compare, do so intelligently with facts, knowledge and accurate information to compare with because it is really silly and ignorant to keep comparing unrelated projects in different countries with different sets of issues, terrain and basic facts.

Cost has nothing to do with your first and third point. The chinese will not charge more because Lagos is a state or because it is self-funded by LASG (which I doubt). And please backup your other points with figures if you can. Yes the nature of the projects differ but when you look at the magnitude of both projects and their respective price difference, there are questions that needs to be answered.

This is even more reetarded. It's like saying a trailer should cost more than a Rolls Royce because trailers are longer.

It's like asking why my new Lexus car cost more than your new Lexus car even though I paid extra for more options, premium trip, better rims, extended warranty and so on

You can not debate anything about cost until you see what was ordered, the specs and contingencies.

I know it's all hatred, politics and tribalism as usual with you people, but damn, are you people this shallow and unintelligent for real?

If you are talking about extras here, it's the Ethiopian one that should then cost more. Don't try to spin this around. Corruption is clearly involved in the Nigerian. A governorship aspirant in Lagos state made reference to this in the last elections.

These are 2 different projects with different details and specifications. There are zero bases for any kind of comparisons

Why do you people think so dumbo and rettarded?

You are the retarded one here, the point is the Ethiopian rail is six times longer than Nigeria's and can use electricity which naturally should cost more than a shorter diesel powered train. Go and do your research before you open your gutter mouth to defend corruption

Eductated Nigerian youth, please can you tell us how a longer and more sophisticated railway project built by the same company will cost less, or was the Nigerian rail built on water or land reclaimed from sea? Mind you, the Ethiopian railway was completed in six years, we are still dragging our feet here for decades. Disgusting humans like you will go to the ends of the earth to defend a clear case of corruption when it favours your pockets.

Crime › Burial Of Three Gallant Soldiers Killed By Boko Haram by JAWBONE(op): 6:42pm On May 15, 2019

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai has on Tuesday, the 14th of May, 2019 emphatically stated that Nigerian Army personnel, under his leadership, despite occasional hitches, - will never be deterred in the ongoing just war against terrorism in Nigeria.
General Buratai stated this at the Maimalari Military Cantonment Cemetery, Maiduguri Borno State while laying to rest the remains of the patriotic officer and two soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice while on clearance operations along Mauli-Borgozo axis on Monday, the 13th of May, 2019.
The late Lieutenant Colonel Yusuf Ibrahim Aminu was the Commanding Officer (CO), of 154 Task Force Battalion Borgozo. He was on a clearance operation along Mauli- Borgozo when his vehicle climbed on a buried Improvised Explosive Device which detonated resulting in losing his life and that of 2 other soldiers while others were wounded in action.
Commiserating with the family of the deceased, the COAS used the opportunity to again commend the efforts of the entire troops of Operation Lafiya Dole in the war on terror and charged them to remain steadfast, more committed and professional for the sake of Nigeria.
The sacrifices of all the deceased officers and soldiers of the NA is no doubt painful to all, but that will further ginger the serving gallant troops to do more to ensure that the nation remains secure and peaceful.
Present at the solemn occasion were the Chief of Training and Operations 'Army', Major General Lamidi Adeosun, Theatre Commander OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE, Major General Benson Akinroluyo, Corp Commander Engineers, Major General John Malu, Acting General Officer Commanding 7 Division, Brig Gen Abdulmalik Bulama Biu, Corps Commander Supply and Transport, Major General Victor Offiong, Principal Staff Officers from Army Headquarters, Theatre Command and HQ 7 Division amongst others.
