And we all can see what this so-called Unity has produced over the last 60 years.

I do not want this type of unity or any unity whatsoever, let us each split and go our separate ways.

This type of unity that has made a mockery of the black man, the colonists could not even have done to us what our leaders have done to us since independence.

This type of unity has been been consistently defined by abysmal failure and wanton corruption on all levels across everywhere.

This unity only brought about by easy access to oil blocks and the corruption that comes with it.

This unity that is dependent on empowering 1 main ethnic group whilst seeking out subservient slaves leaders from within the others so as to continue to suppress the others.

This unity that cannot and will not give my grandchildren or great grandchildren a home to call their own, even if you manage to escape this country you are a slave anywhere else you go because it is not your own and no matter how much you try to assimilate you may never.

No I do not want this type of unity, it has never worked, it will never work.

We should go our separate ways, that is the only solution in my view. It will be tough initially, especially for opportunists who have nothing to offer and have decided to make a career out of politics. But overall, if we persevere, each within our own enclave will be great.

The north will back the southwest in 2023. The unity of Nigeria cannot be jeopardized.

Joke of the day.

Akwa Ibom is what Delta and Bayelsa could have been with common sense leadership.

Not saying the leaders there is not corrupt, but they have a plan and despite the change in leadership they have by and large stuck to it.

I hope it leads to larger things so the people of that state can benefit.

Follow what this man has specifically said at your own peril.

We also need religious leaders and followership with brains.

I just wear it because i like the sound of it when i walk naked and how it feels on my skin.

Karma is one bad motherfcuker.

Wat will I do to get you to check your emails

REDBUNNY:
I can't even look at them for so long.
So beautiful, yet scary in very beautiful way . Ethereal

Everyone with half a brain knew this to be true.
I have been in Lagos since the lockdown kicked off, there were very few cars on the road in the first 2 months. Assuming they started April 1st they'd be closer to finishing it by now with little or no hassle to commuters.

Are you a paid commenter or are you in love with the party of the day? If you do not believe that corruption exists in Nigeria and it is the bane of our present society, if its yes to these three questions, don't bother responding to this.

If no to the above then I'll pretend you are ignorant on what has been happening in this country since its inception. So much so that you trust politicians and whatever BS contract figures they throw around.

I know enough to know that the contract is over-inflated. You want proof, do your own research as I have, google.com to your rescue and you'll have some guidance as to what the approximate actual figures ought to be.

I am not saying the project is not needed. I am not saying all politicians around the world are not corrupt. I am saying our mode of corruption in this part of the world is very archaic and destructive. That contract, just like all large scale contracts awarded in this country (I can name many but do your own research) are over inflated, the money for this one project can certainly be used for more than one project. The real chopping should not be in over-inflating contracts it should be in the money realised from the project itself. I honestly wish our leaders would have an unsaid rule about projects: execute it flawlessly, within a good timeframe and at a low cost then steal the proceeds realised from the project. For example, such a railroad project will generate billions in revenue over the years to come, if only our politicians would steal from the revenue. Nigeria is so underdeveloped that we have so many projects we are yet to undertake, so many. We can use these monies we are borrowing to execute alot of projects that will lift millions of people out of poverty and that will help us attract the type of Foreign Direct Investment we need. That way everyone benefits, everyone is happy.

But no, we are so bleeping backwards, compared to the rest of the world, that we need like 30 of such large scale railroad projects to even have a chance at being at a competitive country (read the vision 2020 document by Accenture prepared during Obasanjo's administration).

As for how splitting the country helps us. The only reason for mass corruption on every scale is easy access to oil money at every level of government coupled with gullible, nonchalant citizens. You split the country you leave the SS to worry about their oil and be rest assured the ones who have the oil are not usually the ones that turn out to be best as you can see all around the world today. This will not automatically eliminate corruption in new regions formed but atleast it helps people in their respective regions fight against their individual govt free of tribalism, free of religious bias.

wirinet:
On what basis are you placing your bet? Are you a railway engineer or a train manufacturer?


As I said, provide is an alternative cost for the project, since you are sure it is over inflated. Now, I am not questioning your assertion, I am just asking for proof.

It does just include railroads and locomotive trains, but also stations and support services for the running of the trains. The train will connect not just two major cities, but several other cities as stop overs.

The other rail lines are also ongoing.




How will splitting the country help the transportation crisis we have in the country now. Will splitting the country ensure effective rail transportation between Lagos and Kano or Calabar and Kano? Or are you telling me that people would not need to travel between Calabar and Kano once we split?

Guess what, I willing to bet that the $5.3bn (or maybe something slightly more than that is sufficient to do railroads for the entire country.

How can we be spending $5.3bn on a railroad from Ibadan to Kano? A railroad that does is not latest technology? These are railroads used for locomotive trains and we are spending this much, to connect just 2 major cities?
How much will they spend to connect Lagos to Abuja?
How much will they spend to connect Abuja to Calabar?
This is why I have kept on insisting this country split? It is not worth it

Heathrow44:
Borrowing is not bad especially when its used to fund key infrastructures and social services, what doesn't augur well with me is the sell of Nigerians sovereignty for loans, Amaechi in d process of trying to leave lasting legacy as a transportation minister has sold the country to the Chinese, for personal interests, this is who wants to become president! Nonsense! This infrastructure is a short term solution to a long term problem and would be short lived, so in making decision we should use foresight and think long term, cos the unborn generation are who would suffer the brunt of this useless agreement! Amaechi lacks foresight and the NASS should carry out their foresight functions which they are constitutionally mandated to! Amaechi as a matter of urgency should step aside and halt further implementation process till a probe and the terms and conditions of this weird agreement is understood by both parties, this strategy is how China holds country's to ransom including the US which is heavily indebted to China! The same carrot approach!

Mr Rotimi Amaechi is now the spokesperson for the Chinese govt in Nigeria. This level of treachery I have never seen, only a blackman will show this type of spinelessness.

We know you, dishonourable Minister, are only trying to safeguard your bank account. You could care less if the Chinese takeover any assets, you care more about your cut in the $5.3bn loan. A payment for all the devious and horrible things you did to bring the present day govt into power.

I am willing to bet far more than what you and your family have done but I do not see the need to brag about it and I never will. Neither will I be forced to join issues with you. If you cannot see why this thread is pointless then you clearly do not have the faculties needed to have an informed conversation with me.

Mariory:
Why is the thread pointless? What have you done to contribute to the country?

I am yet to see a country that celebrates mediocrity and past glory as Nigerians do.

FYI, Lagos probably needs 10 of such bridges across strategic location.

OP, keep up the lizard chest beating of Lagos Mega City. Pointless threads like this is why we continue to dwell in mediocrity.

I prefer Trojans though.

Carchoice:
I was at shoprite yesterday evening, I bought other stuffs and 10 packs of durex condom. At the point of payment, all the stuffs I shopped were on the counter and all eyes were on it. I could hear murmurs and giggles. Even a lady I perceived to be a baby mama sef join dey laugh.

As a careless Nigerian that I am, I went back to the condom shelve and added 5 more packs. E shock them.

Why the hypocrisy? For the background they are sharing HIV and donating pregnancy here and there.

Hon Dipo Esurinu I know and understand men like you. It is unfortunate that many on this platform don't, but I do.

You are no different than the useless politicians we have and you only seek what you can corner for yourself hence your campaign for a man like that to be President of this failed nation.

But anyway, since like always attracts like and we can surmise that Tinubu's 20 year grip on Lagos has been a monumental fraud and failure to the average Lagosian. Then I guess it is not so difficult to see why Tinubu would want to do to Nigeria what he has successfully done in Lagos.

It is there, it's just on paper and in some people's accounts but it is there.

Maybe get elected via that online poll.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Ngige my man

They know that the people hold the real power to threaten their hegemony.

It is why they were scared as hell of Sowore.

Remember that Tinubu 200m naira donation, the Greek gift.

Hahahahahaha.

Watch him recover it 20 fold.

In the middle of a pandemic. Pump price has not increased. Salaries have not increased. Economy has not bounced back. Now this.

The day you sheeple will learn that these politicians are no friends of yours is the day you will have set yourselves free.

And these are the so-called leaders you expect to rescue this country from the throes of poverty.

We are never going anywhere.

Bro, I fully second you on that.

Trutharenas:
Leave Akpabio alone!

Even if you put another person in NDDC, they will still loot.

What have they achieved since the government established the body?

The best thing is to dismantle NDDC and credit their monthly allocation to the bank account of the Niger Delta citizen.

I come with the truth, I hope Buhari will listen!

He is not dancing around it, he has said it, you should read between the lines. He did not steal alone.

Maxymilliano:
Akpabio is just dancing around the main issue which is to offer explanations over his role in the alleged misuse of the sum of N81.5 billion by the Niger Delta Development commission (NDDC).

I do not think this was the real guy that spied on Qasem Soleimani. It is a well known fact that on the day he was assassinated, his itinerary was well known in advance by Israeli and US operatives within the region. Soleimani even flew and landed in a public airport in Baghdad. I think he even flew a public airline.

I just feel like this guy is a fall guy. A way for the regime to save face.

Now I know illegality is immoral and he is not the best role model for the younger generation but there is a positive side to his story and it just shows that you can be whatever you want to be in life if you are willing to pay the price and do what it takes.

As much as it may not be the right thing to say, it took a lot of effort for him to get out of poverty and become what he is today.

While I understand what you I trying to pass across and I agree with the premise what you said in the first comment I responded to was totally uncalled for.

If you read your history, you will discover that whites have done a lot of bleeped up crazy stuff that I cannot enumerate here.

So please even if you are going to criticise blacks, do not speak like you were born yesterday or in January, read up history of lootings since the inception of the word.

Princedapace:
Well, thanks for all ur insults...

Until blacks stop running to other races for their medical care and fix their own hospitals!

Until blacks stop running to other races for their education and fix their own education!

Until blacks stop exporting almost all their raw resources to other races only to buy from them the finished products!

until blacks stop following Mediterranean seas and deserts to cross to other continents for greener pasture every year!

Until blacks can find their own cures without always waiting for other continents to help them with it!

Till then, my comment is valid! Thanks!

Exotic pet, hehehehehehehe.

That was wicked.

hermesprogidy:
Wow!!!! Another talking monkey. Go and educate yourself because trying to educate someone with a deep cited inferiority complex is a waste of time. Whites kill out of insanity only? That's the dumbest thing I have heard in a while. Please stop classifying yourself as a black man, because you are not, the fact that you can talk and type does not mean you are human. Elephants and Chimpanzees have been trained to do these things. You are just an exotic pet.

My brother, it is quite sad honestly.

Too much fox news.

manikspears:
Now you have seen a real life uncle rokus of boondocks. They exist, especially in Nigeria. They believe a white man can do no wrong so I don't argue with such people.it is too much Hollywood.

Why not do a Micheal Jackson and bleach make all of us hear word.

You are just a total idiot and a white apologist if you believe blacks only loot and blacks are the worst people on earth.

It tells how shallow you are as a person and the extent of your exposure.

Princedapace:
Abeg, blacks are disgrace to humanity. Look at all black countries. All they do is loot and loot and loot and to store in white countries while whites build health care. Then blacks build churches in their home counties and run to white countries for health care. Rubbish.

No one in their right mind would agree to lay down their lives for a country such as this.
