ednut1:Delta Steel Company (Now Privately Operated as Premium Steel and Mines Ltd), is located in Aladja, Delta State, and produces billets and reinforcement bars — not high-grade rail steel yet, but the plant could be upgraded for it. The plant currently feeds Nigeria’s construction sector (bridges, high-rises, etc.). With investment, it could supply steel sleepers and track fittings for trains domestically. Nigeria has over 20 functional private steel rolling mills, including: African Foundries (Lagos, Ogun) Dana Steel Phoenix Steel Mills Kam Industries (Ilorin) Universal Steel (Ikeja) These mills mainly produce rebar, wire rods, and structural sections — but with technology upgrades, they could help manufacture components like rail fasteners, clips, and plates locally, according to experts. ALSO, Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda promises to get AJAOKUTA working, so it's not over till it's over. |
DeLaRue:You're WRONG. India by the way has lifted over 400 million people out of poverty in the last 20 years, and the railway sector contributed hugely to that. I asked AI the benefits of Nigeria building a robust railway network nationwide: .......... Developing a robust rail system in Nigeria would have transformative advantages — economically, socially, and environmentally. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the key benefits: --- 1. Economic Growth and Industrial Expansion A strong rail network would massively boost Nigeria’s economy by: Reducing transportation costs: Railways can move bulk goods (cement, grains, steel, crude oil, containers) at one-third the cost of road transport. Improving trade competitiveness: Lower logistics costs make Nigerian goods more competitive regionally and internationally. Stimulating industries: The steel, cement, and construction sectors would benefit from rail infrastructure projects, creating local jobs and demand for materials. Attracting investment: A reliable logistics backbone attracts domestic and foreign investors who depend on efficient supply chains. Example: Countries like India and China used rail systems to unlock industrial growth across their vast territories — Nigeria could do the same for West Africa. --- 2. Agricultural Revolution Railways would bridge the gap between Nigeria’s rural farmlands and urban markets: Farm-to-market connectivity: Farmers could transport perishable goods quickly and cheaply, reducing post-harvest losses (currently up to 40%). Rural development: Rail access encourages agribusiness investment in previously unreachable regions. Food security: Efficient distribution of food would stabilize prices nationwide. Imagine: Tomatoes from Kano, rice from Kebbi, and yams from Benue reaching Lagos in a day instead of spoiling on the road. --- 3. Urban Decongestion and Better Mobility Nigeria’s big cities — especially Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt — face crippling traffic. A rail system would: Reduce road congestion: Each train can replace hundreds of cars and trucks. Support mass transit: Intra-city light rail can move millions daily, easing pressure on roads. Boost productivity: Less time in traffic means more hours for work, innovation, and rest. Lagos–Ibadan rail already shows how intercity trains can reduce road chaos and travel time. --- 4. Job Creation and Skills Development Rail expansion would create hundreds of thousands of jobs directly and indirectly: * Construction workers, engineers, welders, surveyors, and station operators. * Long-term employment in maintenance, manufacturing, and logistics. * Technical training programs could upskill Nigerian youth in mechanical, electrical, and digital railway technologies. It could also position Nigeria as a rail technology hub for West Africa. --- 5. Environmental and Energy Efficiency Rail is one of the most sustainable transport systems: Lower emissions: Trains emit 70–90% less CO₂ per ton-kilometer than trucks. Reduced road damage: Heavy trucks destroy highways; rail preserves them. Cleaner future: Electrified railways powered by Nigeria’s solar potential could make transport nearly carbon-neutral. --- 6. Regional Integration and Trade (AfCFTA Advantage) A modern Nigerian rail system would connect with West African corridors under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA): Boosts regional exports: Easier movement of goods to Ghana, Benin, Niger, and Chad. Strengthens Nigeria’s dominance: As West Africa’s biggest economy, Nigeria could become the region’s logistics and manufacturing hub. Encourages cross-border collaboration: Rail links promote tourism, trade, and cultural exchange. --- 7. National Unity and Security Rail systems naturally tie regions together: Connects all six geopolitical zones, fostering national cohesion and balanced development. Enhances security: Rail reduces highway banditry risks by offering safer alternatives for people and goods. Rapid troop and emergency movement: The military and relief agencies could respond faster in crises. --- 8. Boosting Tourism and Cultural Exchange Tourism flourishes when transportation is easy and scenic: * Heritage and nature routes could attract both local and international tourists. * Cross-country train journeys can showcase Nigeria’s landscapes, food, and culture — from Lagos beaches to Jos Plateau and the ancient walls of Kano. --- 9. Digital and Smart Infrastructure Synergy A modern rail network can integrate AI, IoT, and smart ticketing systems , enabling: * Real-time scheduling and tracking. * Seamless e-payment systems. * Predictive maintenance to prevent breakdowns. This aligns with Nigeria’s digital economy vision and smart city goals. --- 10. Long-Term Cost Savings While initial rail investment is heavy, the long-term returns are huge: * Lower road maintenance costs. * More efficient movement of people and resources. * Increased GDP through trade efficiency. In essence, railways are a nation-building investment, not just infrastructure. --- In short: A robust rail system would not just move Nigeria — it would transform Nigeria. It would connect farms to cities, industries to ports, and people to opportunities. It would help Nigeria reclaim its position as Africa’s economic locomotive — literally and symbolically. --- AI |
Ofodirinwa:Can you imagine? 'Fake' because it's not white people being shown as inventors.. You're a disgrace to whoever gave birth to you. |
Can someone tell me why a state governor cannot build even a 10 km railway line in his capital to convey passengers? What is so hard about building the track with direct labour and buying a couple of trains, even refurbished ones, from wherever, to run a service, no matter how small, and then expand slowly? What exactly stops them from doing this? Why is it that whenever this rail issue comes up, the talk is of China coming here to build everything from scratch? What is our problem? |
Ofodirinwa:YES. 100%. It has nothing to do with whether they've personally met a non-black or not. They've all met their white Jesus in their heads, and worship him as their 'saviour', which extends to seeing whites as angels from heaven. Even those who have never met a white person, ask them who invented computers or AI, OR ANYTHING AT ALL, and they will scream 'OYINBO of course'!!! Their miseducation breeds a natural inferiority complex that attributes complex achievements solely to so-called 'white people'. That's outrageous and unacceptable. Our people need to learn that they are as much contributors, SORRY - FAR BIGGER contributors to modern civilisation and technology than any gaddem white or asian. Once they REALISE THAT, they will feel shame to call China to build mere railway lines. |
FarahAideed:You have come again with your WHITEWASHED history. That he ''coined the term'' doesn't mean he INVENTED it. When will you colonised Nigerians learn that there are TWO types of History in this world? A) The Whitewashed History of black insignificance. B) The TRUE History inclusive of Black Excellence and impact? WHEN? The entire black world KNOWS THIS FACT, except you. Embarrassing yourself by trying to counter with a MAINSTREAM WHITEWASHED STORY. WAKE UP. Do you know that there are hundreds of major historical figures, from kings to scientists, that, if you read about them from those who saw them, were described as blacks with thick curly hair. But if you go on Google or Wikipedia and type the person's name, you'll see a blonde white man? I mean, you people are just bamboozled. You have no clue. Go on ChatGPT AI now and type: ''tell me about the whitewashing of black history''. You will be PROPERLY educated. And shocked at how widespread, deliberate, and systematic it is. We are in the days of AI. You have no excuse to remain bamboozled. |
More black inventions.... AFRICAN AMERICANS - MASTER INVENTORS FROM AFRICA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t5skS8arns |
The average Nigerian will swear it was a white man who invented AI, and invented computers. But an African-American Mark Dean was a co-inventor of the IBM Personal Computer in 1981 alongside Philip Don Estridge, and holds several patents for its invention. Bill Gates’ Microsoft supplied the software (MS-DOS) that ran on it. Now, AI. The very concept of AI was a black woman's innovation. Meet Dr Gladys West, the BLACK WOMAN WHO INVENTED AI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GKLehYzbPk |
Dogalmighty17:FAKE PICTURE. WHAT ''UNIVERSITY'' IS THIS? TELL US. THAT BUILDING IS A BUILDING BEING DEM0LISHED , NOT A PLACE USED BY STUDENTS. And posting a massive university dormitory from China, a country of 2 billion people, is senseless. Nigeria also has beautiful campuses in its 300 universities. Covenant University, Ogun state https://www.covenantuniversity.edu.ng/images/2021/02/08/students-hall.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FTf30UVXEAEyCG5.jpg University of Abuja https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/UniAbuja_Photowalk_senate.jpg https://knowabuja.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Whisk_580d6d7875.jpg |
Badb0y4lyf:When you get on that list, you will STILL complain and say it's 'audio'. Because negativity is in your DNA. |
Kushites:So sickening the level of ignorance by Nigerian youths. Majority of them cannot name ONE THING invented or innovated by Blacks, from the beginning of history till now. Yet a simple visit to ChatGPT will reveal thousands of inventions by blacks, from mathematics to iron smelting, and from philosophy to shipping, architecture, medicine, law, and other disciplines. Do Nigerians know that Egypt was black, and that the Greeks used to travel to Egypt to be taught in schools by black scholars? Do Nigerians know that just to their north sits the University of Sankore in Mali, established in 864 AD, and still in operation today as the world’s oldest university? Do Nigerians know that their next door neighbour Sudan, is home to 250+ pyramids and temples older than any building in Europe or America by thousands of years? Do Nigerians know that Iron Smelting, the technology responsible for every metallic item used today, from spoons to aeroplanes to phones and cars and fridges, was invented in Lejja, near Nsukka? The world’s oldest smelting site was discovered there and carbon-dated to 2650 BCE, nearly 5,000 years ago. Without that invention, there would be no modern world today. How many Nigerians know any of this? Bunch of ignorant people. |
ednut1:You are ignorant. They have access to the unseen world through their mastery of the Binary code. The problem with people like you is that you think power is about magic, materialism, military strength and money. And you are allergic to research. Do you know that IFA Binary Mathematics is the root of modern computing? How will you know? Ifa - The Original Algorithim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTWIoyC93gU?si=goEE4R5qU8n8GKHt |
Meanwhile, American farmers who voted for Trump are crying and going out of business due to the dumb tariff war the so-called president started. Banana Republic with money. |
chacoonder:Because he was doing bad things. Karma was his judge. If you bring in those powers, you must adhere strictly to their moral standards or the Karma will get you. He executed Ken Saro Wiwa for agitating for his people to survive Shell’s pollution of their land. Apparently he embezzled a lot of money. The Gods can never back such a leader even if he has 1,000 priests. The Gods believe in Justice, Honour, Honesty. They are not evil like the white Christian liars and invading thieves and looters painted them. |
slam7000:WHY DO YOU NEVER ASK THIS QUESTION OF "Jesus" and "Muhammad"? WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO SLEEP, AS YOU WORSHIP THEM? Where is JESUS when Christians are SLAUGHTERED in Plateau state? Where is Muhammed when Palestians are being massacred? TELL US. Mr Jesus (who never existed, by the way) lied in the anonymously written New Testament that if you call on him, you will be "Saved". PLATEAU PEOPLE CALLED ON HIM AS THEY WERE BEING SLAUGHTERED. WHY DIDN'T HE ANSWER THEM? Why have corruption, terrorism, poverty, tribalism, banditry and insecurity increased under your IMPORTED gods? THE PORTUGUESE VISITED BENIN CITY IN THE 1500s, when OSANOBUA was their God, and wrote that the people built no doors to their houses BECAUSE THEFT WAS UNKNOWN. That the land was prosperous and poverty non-existent. Can you say that about your Christian/Muslim country today? |
koladata:You don't read, you don't research, you know NOTHING. Black inventions? THAT COMPUTER YOU'RE USING WAS CO-INVENTED BY A BLACK MAN, MARK DEAN. He owns 3 or 4 of the 9 patents for the invention of the IBM Personal Computer in 1981. They hyped Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, but IGNORED the Black inventor. AS USUAL. The first flying machine was built by a Black man, Charles Page in 1903. White man Thomas Edison supposedly invented the light bulb. But it couldn't work for more than an hour before shutting off. It was a Black man, Lewis Latimer, who invented the FILAMENT you place in the bulb that keeps its light on for months and years. So everytime you switch on your light, you have a BLACK MAN to thank for it. 7 BILLION PEOPLE around the world have a BLACK MAN to thank, for everytime they switch on their light. When a white man supposedly invented the Elevator or Lift, it was a death trap. You would walk up to it and have to open the door yourself. Good luck if you opened and entered when the carriage was on the ground floor. Many fell to their deaths. Until a Black Man, Alexander Miles, invented the Automatic Elevator system, whereby the door only opens automatically once the carriage is on your floor. The TRAFFIC LIGHTS of red, green and yellow the whole world uses today for traffic control, was invented by a Black man. LASER EYE SURGERY was invented by a Black Woman Patricia Rice. REFRIGERATED TRANSPORT which allows for the shipment of frozen foods worldwide, was invented by a Black Man, Garret Morgan. So EVERTIME you buy frozen chicken from Shoprite, you have Black Man to thank for it. Numerous other BLACK INVENTIONS exist which you credit "white people" for. GO ON CHATGPT AND ASK ABOUT BLACK INVENTIONS instead of perpetuating tired anti-black stereotypes taught you by your British invaders. |
EvilMerodack:Igbo of course. |
After all this BAPTISM you will still support the Genocide in Gaza. You people think God is foolish. He isn't. |
YOUR AFRICAN ANCESTORS INVENTED RELIGION AND KNEW GOD THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE WHITE PEOPLE EXISTED. FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT A "HELLFIRE". THAT FICTION ONLY ARRIVED OUR SHORES WITH COLONIAL INVADERS A CENTURY AGO. YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO BELIEVE THEIR OUTLANDISH, ROTTEN CLAIMS. WHY WOULD GOD HIDE THIS INFORMATION FROM OUR ANCESTORS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS IF IT WAS TRUE? ONLY TO TELL US ABOUT IT A MERE CENTURY AGO WHEN THE BRITISH NEEDED TO LOOT OUR RESOURCES VIA COLONISATION, MASSACRING OUR ANCESTORS AND BOMBARDING OUR CITIES? To Hell with your FAKE "hellfire". |
Believeintruth:Na small pikin dey do you. You think under military regime you can come online and be abusing the government or the president the way you people do here? You kids sef... |
Foolish man with his oblong head. |
Wahabfuture:STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR MASS SHOOTINGS IN AMERICA. 40,000 PEOPLE ARE GUNNED DOWN YEARLY THERE. THEY NEED TO END PRIVATE GUN OWNERSHIP IN THEIR COUNTRY OR SHUT UP ABOUT NIGERIA. AND OTHER COUNTRIES. |
AMINDA:He is violating Christian law by doing that. Divination and the like are condemned as 'sins' by your church! |
otipoju:That's a ridiculous question. When a christian community is sacked by Islamists, do you ask why 'Jesus' did not come down and save them? When Nigeria won the civil war, why didn't Igbos abandon Mr Jesus? Mr Miracle worker was nowhere to be seen. Yet your worship of him has more than quadrupled since then, as banditry, terrorism, tribalism and corruption have increased. Why is it one law for your imported white gods and another law for the Gods of your ancestors? How come it's okay for your imported white and Arab gods to SLEEP through your destruction, while you demand magical performance from African spirituality? The GODS are of a different dimension and are all about spiritual and karmic influence on humans. They are not to be seen as physical magicians that will stop invaders guns from shooting! When the white man's cup is full, the KARMIC influence of the GODS will hit them. |
Because you cannot be in such a powerful position of President of the Giant of Africa and not have our AFRICAN GODS behind you. Tinubu BETTER have an IFA PRIEST in Aso Rock. Ideally 10. I understand they have a chapel and mosque in Aso Rock. Those are not African traditions. In OUR tradition, a leader is guided, philosophically, in part or in whole, by TRADITIONAL PRIESTS, who maintain KNOWN CONNECTION with the seen and unseen world, and can offer INSIGHTS not available to ordinary people. If I were the President, there would be no mosque or church in Aso Rock. There would be a Temple of African religion, filled with high priests of the first order. Plus a massive National Temple in Abuja city centre. Every swearing-in of public officials will be done there with Opon Ifa or Ofo of the Igbos, or by some new national totem consecrated to the GODS. When you break your oath and loot funds, the GODS will reset your head, plus the law. When you people are ready to move forward, you know what to do. For now, keep praying to your colonial oyinbo imported-with-guns-and-swords white and Arab 'saviours'. |
ambale:Very naive analysis. What is so "expensive" about a motorcade of 20 cars when the roads are filled with millions of cars? |
shortgun:"Clear his name" with WHO? WHAT ROTTEN "white guy"? WHO IS HE? WHY SHOULD RENO REDUCE HIMSELF TO DEBATING A NONENTITY? |
Racoon:BUT 40,000 AMERICAN CHRISTIANS ARE SHOT DEAD ANNUALLY BY OTHER AMERICAN CHRISTIANS. WHY IS THIS MAN NOT FIGHTING FOR AMERICAN LIVES? He loves Nigerians more than his own people? Or he has an AGENDA? WHICH? |
They are all Western-Funded groups created to destabilise Nigeria and delay her progress. But we can't be stopped. |
Blossomfirst:Trump is a 34-count convicted criminal. The Nigerian President did not lobby him. It was Trump's aide that begged to be allowed into Tinubu’s presence in Rome. |
brain54:Always calling these tiny villages like Israel Singapore. Israel receives billions of dollars every year from America, and have less than 5 million people. WHY would they not be prosperous? Singapore, Malaysia etc would be NOTHING without neighbouring Chinese big money investors. Go there. It's all Chinese capital fuelling everything. |
