Call it bad belle, I'll call it business and we'll be ok. Ajaokuta producing steel was the product of illiterate military dictators who have never been in business. The STEEL PLANT is over 40 years old now and it wasn't until the last admin that anyone thought to put rail there. If you make a product you need a way to move it to the market. Only they previous admin didn't want to move it to the market, they wanted to move it to Warri and that at best people can put the steal on a boat then try to move it to market. Forget about getting it to Kano or Abuja.

You're not going to export steel for a country that imports steel lol. Worst, you're not going to sell steal to your own 'countrymen' if it's just as easy from them to get european and chinese steel because both products still have to enter a boat and go to Lagos.

totit:
Sorry I missed this one. I was off.

O yes, I do. But don't you think Lagos is kinda congested,choking for such level of tech?

Well.. well.. well I can't say much now though but let's see how it goes..

"" Why didn't you abandon the onne port for mine if it was viable?""

The small small children. Onne Port wasn't abandoned, It is fully active as a naval base for the Nigerian armed forces ... OBJ converted it to a naval base to make sure everything comes in from Lagos...

"" okrika is as good as a river port which btw is for Okrika, not igbo's.""

Oga, you sabi lie, o!

GoodFaith:
Go get common sense

Ofodirinwa:
If Warri is an evacuation point and lagos is the biggest market in Nigeria then

Refine Ore > Make Steel > Put on train > put on boat > Land at Apapa > drive to destination

If the rail road when connected Ajaokuta to Lagos then it's

Refine Ore > Make Steel > Put on Train > Drive to destination

which one of these chains produces cheaper faster steel?

If I make steel in Belgium and sell it to Lagos I will

Refine Ore > Make Steel > Put on boat > Land in Apapa > Drive to Destination

Meaning it's easier to buy steal from EUROPE for a Lagosian than useless Ajaokuta that will never succeed.

Isn't that what Anita Okoye did Or did you see her pregnant? Yet the twins are loved. As long as the children are yours, nothing stop you from loving them. Or won't you love your child eventhough you have no womb to bare them? All ds naija mentality abegi.

Paul Okoye's wife, Anita Okoye, is grateful for her safe and natural delivery, and what better way to express it than with the sweet delivery video she just shared? The new-mother-of-twins took to her Instagram page to share a post on her delivery experience. She also revealed in the post that her delivery was a natural one.

"Thanks to God Almighty for blessing us far more than we deserve, for replacing and restoring all that we had lost… Thank you to my family and friends for the constant prayers and positivity throughout my pregnancy.

"I am especially thankful to my Labour Squad without whom I have no idea what I would have done!

"They made sure I didn’t have any worries, the best they could… threw me an amazing baby shower and stayed with me throughout my Labour and delivery!!

"My Labour Squad made everything seem so blissful and positive… my Labour Squad consists of these outstanding individuals who dropped everything to be there for me during my pregnancy and at the birth of the twins: My mom, My Auntie Buchi, Chinonso @veras_baby01 , Ro @myroniee, Theresa @tmamah , my 16-year old lil sis Uche @uchay___ , Andre’s nanny Ms.Helen, My Auntie Ephormaah , Cousin Chaz @chazgrey & Tasha @ms.bucks.

"I don’t know how I can ever express the level of gratitude I feel… God bless you all so much!! Thank you!!!! To my MVP Chinonso, who left everything, including her own 3 kids to be there for me… I have no idea how I can ever repay you!!! She literally helped us in choosing the best doctor and hospital, and held my leg and coached me, during the natural birth process of the twins…

"God bless you and your family!!! Thanks to theresa for documenting the entire process and editing the videos, I cannot stop laughing and tearing up and appreciating God!

"More videos to come!!! Thank you all so much again!

Love Anita!!!”

The baby won't be biologically her's. It will be the woman's egg and man's sperm embryo implanted into her. She can never lay claim on such baby. Besides, there will be a lot of legal paperwork involved.

echodrum:
Did you not read the part where he mentioned that the reason is best known to them and their Doctor. what exactly is surrogacy? what is wrong with it? and how is it western media influenced?
He is already on the right path by asking whether or not surrogacy is legal in Nigeria. if it is legal, then there is nothing wrong at all. Depending on the type of surrogacy he wants ( traditional or gestational surrogacy) in traditional surrogacy, the man's sperm and the surrogate egg are used and that genetically makes the surrogate a partial owner of the baby. But in gestational surrogacy, the couple's egg and sperm are used which make them by genetics, a 100% owner of the baby. Gestational surrogacy is preferable, since both couple's egg and sperm is used to make the baby unless otherwise. If you can't call IVF, family planning western media influenced, I don't see any reason why you should categorize surrogacy as western media influenced. Things like white wedding and baby showers are the type of things we should castigate as western media influenced.

Naijawebmaster:
Never heard of anyone who got their child(ren) through Surrogacy in Nigeria. Like the first reply you got, go to standard fertility clinics and make your enquiry.

What you people don't know is that majority of the bad news pelted at these exemplary Fulani's are nothing but scrupulous and pedantic propaganda. The Fulani's have one of the most resplendent characters, gestures and etiquettes in Nigeria. Its high time we saw these people as our brothers & sisters.

Ofodirinwa:
I have to put this simply. Steel mills are built near deposits. Then they are connected to markets using rail. Or you can build a rail road to the site, and put the plant where the market it as. Either way you have to FEED the supply chain, not connect one steel plant to another steel plant then connect them to Warri for no reason. Other than to say 'i built a railroad in the south-south' and other illiterate motivations

wowcatty:
Hurry up and tell me the Yoruba that stopped you in Ore are ghosts as usual. When you are made of lies, Nigeria lie is too big for you.

Don't be an ingrate laughing over what your forefathers cried over.

Ofodirinwa:
putting a steel mill an Ajeokuta, which was geographically isolated for the major markets of the country (Lagos, Aba, PH, Onitsha, Enugu, Kaduna, Kano, Ibadan, Benin, (at the time) Jos, Calabar, Iilorin etc) was the first mistake among many. Then, instead of realizing this was a mistake, you build a railroad connecting Warri to this same dead place as if the DEMAND FOR STEEL exists in Warri.

AGAIN. When you build a RAILROAD, you connect PRODUCTS to MARKETS. When the colonists build the railroads they connected LAGOS and KANO, ENUGU to PORT HARCOURT. You're now connecting Ajaokuta to Warri. Why?

Why is this important: If I make a steel beam in Ajaokuta (which nobody ever will because it's a dead project), I will put it on a train, sent it to Warri. Put it on a boat, send it to Lagos, reach Lagos, drive to the destination. How much do you think Ajaokuta will have to sell this steel to make a profit?

think people.

Ofodirinwa:
Have you bought steel for Ajeokuta? Where did you see ajeokuta produce steel? Wasn't putting ajeokuta in a dead, unproductive city away from customers the beginning of the problem?

“Iron ores of diverse origin and quality are found in Nigeria, with the purest and largest reserve found in Itakpe, Kogi State, where proven Iron Ore reserves are in excess of 200 million tonnes, grading in ferrous (Fe) content from 25 – 50 percent, and could be up to 70 percent.

The true reserve of the deposit is yet to be quantified. In addition to Itakpe deposit, large reserves of sedimentary iron ore are exposed at Igbaja area in Kogi State, holding excess of 30.5 million tons of iron with an average assays of 50 per cent Fe (high of 85 per cent Fe) and economic percentage of phosphorous and alumina that can be processed as by-products.

The announcement in 2012, by Australian explorer, Dr. Ian Burston, Chairman of Energio of the discovery of huge Iron Ore deposits in Kogi State, should be an eye opener to Nigeria and investors considering the options of starching funds abroad or wanting to import products from other economies to look inwards

According to the company, the discovery of 488 million tons in its 100 percent-owned Igbaja Project, represents 9.2 percent of the company’s 151km2 landholding for Iron.

In a statement by Energio, the discovery was the first ever JORC Iron Ore resources discovery in Nigeria and is bound to change the pace of iron ore development in mineral rich West African country.Indeed, the Australian Stock Exchange -listed firm informed the Australian Securities that the resources update on the Agbaja project, would be released. _{https://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/nigeria-investment-opportunities-in-iron-ore-mining/}

COMPAQ:
That route is not high density for passenger traffic. Would you compare that with lagos Abuja or lagos onitsha??

It wouldn't sustain itself!! Except you want to introduce subsidy for train transport again?

Acidosis:
Ebony life..? Just improve your spoken English (speak like Brits) and improve your chances of getting the job. Ebony Life and Fakers are like 5&6.

COMPAQ:
The line was conceived for ajaokuta steel complex. If the government gets its economic policy right, this could still be a good way to decongest the lagos port and take development to warri and environs. If ajaokuta can come alive, all the better.

But for passengers, its likely going to be a no no!

StudentsNG:
Tell the Delta and Ajaokuta steel story to people who know nothing about state of things around those facilities. You want to ‘connect’ dead historical facilities that never operated while Trucks keep deforming our road networks to move imported goods from Lagos to major cities around the country.

You want to connect Delta and Ajaokuta when trucks spend days to move food, cattle and grains from North to other parts of the country through bad roads. A living brain would connect Lagos-Extreme North, North -East and West-East; each route trailing the middle belt.

I don’t blame you, I blame those you work for.

Thanks alot for your concern
The fact that it comes from a lady make it have a deep mean to me

Blue3k2:
The Abuja – Kaduna railway services has raked in over N1.1 billion in its first two years of operation, LEADERSHIP Weekend investigation has showed. Data obtained by our reporter showed that the station, which currently operates with 15 coaches, dedicates three to four coaches to baggage, while the remaining 11 coaches are dedicated to passengers.

It was also discovered that in the last two years, the station has transported about 900, 000 passengers along the Abuja – Kaduna route at an average price of N1, 300.

However, the manager of the Abuja – Kaduna train service of the Nigeria Railway Corporation, Pascal Nnoli, explained that there are first class services ranging between N2, 500 to N3, 000.

“Before 2016, we didn’t have any available operational standard gauge rail in West Africa. This was the first one and here we are today, carrying an average of 2000 passengers’ everyday through and fro Kaduna. For two years, we have transported about 900, 000 passengers as at July 24,” Nnoli explained.

On the frequency, he said there are two racks, one from Rigasa, which starts from 6:40 and a second one from Idu station, which leaves by 7am. Both operate four times daily.

Beautiful and very laudable. We must not criticise and condemn all the time just for the sake of it, We should also be giving kudos where and when it is earned.

Steadily and gradually, the Nigeria we all can be proud of will be a reality.
