Lol... Buharee, hold your people make them no kill us finish with lies oh!

1. Too much "Villageness" is your problem?
2. Who is "Buharee"?
3. You mean Buhari influenced/sensored the international oil price and got the global media to lie to you?

"who has bewitched you?"

Just Imagine how much shud be In the excess crude Account

Pray tell! how should we imagine it?

Is it from $65b >> $29b

Or

Is it from $29b >> $34b

A gov that can survive with oil at $40 should grow the economy rapidly at $65.
Let's hope the Buhari govt doesn't use the majority of it to prospect for oil in Nasarawa and Kano.

......and what is wrong with prospecting for Oil? Bros, don't be fooled by political statements of politicians in all facets of our society. Basic geology tells us that Oil is found in traps in most basins. We are currently exploiting the Niger-Delta basins, what happens to other basins? Chad & Niger for example are exploring their own end of basins that shares common "features" with ours.

I think many of you have "bad-belle" and are uncomfortable to a reality that Oil will be discovered in the North

RUN was the only university that diagnosed EBOLA as well. Whether you'll accept it or not, the private institutions are taking over research.

Because they fund research. Any body, be it private or govt needs to commit to funding research. That is the missing link

ALL I DO IS TO BALANCE MY CRITICISM OF BOTH PAST N PRESENT GOVTS. AM NOT A SYCOPHANT, BUHARI DOESN'T HAVE ANY MORALE RIGHT TO ACCUSE GEJ, WEN HE TOO BENEFITED FROM D SAME CORRUPT SYSTEM. DATS HAS BEEN MY ARGUMENT ALL ALONG. BOTH R CORRUPT.

I am helping you to balance it na!

Bros, everyone has the moral right to question a GEJ that sat idlly and the greatest looting in the history of this country happened under his watch.

They have expressed their intentions in words, zombies like you are the ones adding other intentions for them other than the ones already expressed, to destroy a vital public infrastructure and score political points without erecting alternatives. And what other intentions do they have that they have not started to construct when December is 3 weeks away?

Zombie

I don't take meth like I suspect you do, as such I do not read their "intentions in words". Standard ops of capital projects takes care of the useless argument you labour to make.

fearless2014:
Wike is creating a niche for himself his own way, does not need to continue a very poorly thought out project because an ignorant Amaechi started it.

Accessible road networks are what PH needs and Wike is doing that.

Zombie.

"Accessible road networks" !!! - WTF is that? You mean as the world is moving towards building an integrated transport system in consmopolitan cities, PH is contented in the useless ole rhetoric "Accessible road networks"

In Lagbaja's voice - Mo sori fun gbogbo yin lokakan (I pity you all). You truly deserve the kind of leaders you get

Nigerians and complains are like 5&6. When govt dont act Nigerians will complain now they are acting to solve a problem institute is what some people are complaining about.. The most important thing should be getting a positive result regardless of the institute.

Much more important than that, there are many positives that will come out of this. Nigeria will be a bastion of knowledge in this area. You can imagine the floodgate of research that will open up after Monkey-pox is finally contained, eliminated and cured? If we are fast enough, our Pharmaceutical industry can come up with patented-drugs which can be sold to other parts of the world.

Standing5:
Even the FG acknowledges that the ones they Fund heavily aren't operating at the required level.

That is a key problem. The universities themselves needs to bear the responsibility of their readiness or otherwise. It is not that the FG universities cannot do this project given to Redeemers, but how has the leadership of the FG universities sustained the capacity growth of the Universities?

Virtually all the lecturers in the private Universities had their roots in the FG/State owned Universities. Research collaboration is global, the internet has provided huge access to information and resources. What Redeemers are able to do, a lecturer in a typical Abia State University is able to do provided the infrastructure are made available

spongeisback:
If you need any more reason to believe that Adeboye is a fraud that is only after enriching himself and his sprogs here it is. As for those that will quote me to tell me about eternal torment and call me the devil don't bother. I could care less what you low thinking creeps have to say. If this project was given to an Islam university you fools will be jumping around screaming Islamization.

1. I agree with you on the bolded part.
2. I do not understand what how you arrived at Adeboye being a fraud here

Why not commission a federal school like UI, ABU, OAU OR UNN? What of our virology centres across the nation?

Osinbajo at work here

.....and the simple answer to your question is - WHY NOT?.

Osinbajo told the world that Africa has matured and is learning to solve her problems are own way.

fearless2014:
If it was concessionable, Amaechi should have done that before his tenure finished as the useless project stalled almost 2yrs before his 2nd term ended, but i do not expect poorly educated bozos like you to understand.

Forget about Amaechi now. Amaechi has left the scene, Wike is on the scene now and has shown sub-par creativity. The question you should ask yourself is do Port-Harcourt people deserve a modern-day intra-city rail system?

Poorly Educated?

fearless2014:
Very obvious that comprehension deficiency coupled with a deliberate intension to lie like Lai, your godfather in lies has taken a better part of you. Trying to imagine that a govt will provide alternatives [b]when they have no intention to or said anything to that effect [/b]shows all that you are nothing but an APC programmed ZOMBIE with no capacity to reason for himself.

You mean you also read their intention in the said report? Man! you must be from Mars or the meth you're taking is making you psychic or psychotic

WEN DID I SAY DAT.

Ops! you mean you disagree that they are not saints?

Can we agree then that they were the greatest "barawo" govt ?

Isaacmacdon:
Asup and ASUU are only expressing their grievances towards the rather repulsive and disgusting treatment of the education system. Imagine the huge amount of money being owned -- Abacha's loot can settle this issues sef. But this current government lacks the mind of openness and straightforwardness. Even the last government isn't to be left aside. Pdp literally crippled the education system by owing huge amount of money, and because Government is all about continuity, APC, literally inherited the problems. There should be a total overhaul of the system. Education should receive more funding. Slash the salaries of senators, and the percent gained is enough to pay up the said debt.

Bros,

While I agree with in you in part, I also think we are running a not sustainable system in our higher institutions. At this rate, govt will contnue to have these problems with lecturers as govt is not the right organ to run higher institutions. Universities and Polys should drive towards autonomy. They should be self-funded. Let govt privatise some of their stakeholding in these higher institutions and let private players come in. Universities can more than generate enough that will not only pay all the welfare of the lecturers, but will also adequately equip it and leave some money to spare.

In foreign institutions, private organisations pump huge amount of monies into universities to fund research and also as part of their social responsibility. The amount of money in the foundations of some universities abroad is more than the foreign reserves of some African countries. We really need to rethink longer term

buchilino:
SO WAT EXACTLY R U SAYING

I am concurring with you that "GEJ and the forty thieves" are "All Saints"

fearless2014:
Hollow brained mag.got, where in the write up did you see that alternatives will be provided or has been provided?

Obvious you are a metally challenged imbec.ile who lacks the capacity to comprehend very minute issues talkless of the complicated ones on governance. Go back to romance where fellows with your IQ troll.

Of course you will not see in the write up that alternatives was provided. You know it is actually rocket science to people like you to imagine it exists. The writers assumed that the report should be comprehend by rational minded people. They were oblivious that people like you with comprehension deficit still exist

fearless2014:
It was Amaechi dem swear for as he refused to listen to the report of the consultants he employed to evaluate the project who told him point blank, that it was not a realistic project all round, but to score cheap political points, he went to start a white elephant useless project.
Wike was right to avoid the useless monorail.

You people and funny conjectures. Oh! you are sold on Wike's inability to be creative shey? First off, I do not trust Wike's probe panel.....and todate nothing productive has come out of that panel. Also, pls read into the details and not the headlines

1. Marcus Gibbs is not the consultant to evaluate the project. It was actually the consultant to execute the project

Viguezang said his company, which the Rivers State government engaged on March 1, 2010, to construct the multi-million Monorail project, was of the view that the project, which has gulped well over N33.9 billion, was no longer tenable, due to paucity of funds to proceed with the project.

2. Secondly, the major problem was the equity partner (major stakeholder) could not continue to raise the needed equity capital

According to him, paucity of funds and the seeming failure of the state government’s original technical and equity partners, TSI Nig Ltd, headed by the former military administrator of Rivers State, retired Brig-Gen Anthony Ukpo, to contribute its 80 per cent equity holdings, means the state cannot continue with the project.

I would have tot Wike should have looked for new investors or concession the damn thing. Even when Aregbe was stuck on the Airport project, he concessioned the damn thing and freed the state of its financial gridlock. It cannot be any brainier. So if Amaechi did not execute the project well, outright cancellation and denying the people of Rivers an asset that will enhance city development is the way to go?

Let us shelve hatred and be realistic.

fearless2014:
And your useless govt could not charge or obtain a single conviction for them 31 months after, mismanaged $25 billion from NNPC on spurious contracts, borrowed N7.5 trillion in 2yrs and is still trying TO to complete one project in close to 3yrs in office.

Road side mo.ron!, you do not destroy existing public infrastructure in use without providing adequate alternatives first. Political bigot.

Idi.otic mugu. Are you saying anything new here? Problem is, intellectually deficient people like you it be made elementary before you comprehend.

The previous govt was not trying to do something......they did many things.

fearless2014:
Did you even listen to yourself, Costain and Jibowu bridges are among the most strategic bridges in Lagos, their absence will expose Lagosians to untold hardship of endless traffic hold ups, many will spend countless hours on hold ups. The appropriate step is to build alternative flyovers and link roads before demolition old ones. Now think up and not down.

Sharrap fo.ol! Costaim & Jibowu bridge are among the most strategic bridges in Lagos? Oh! I never knew until you told me..... mschewwwwww! So they will build "alternative flyovers" in the moon? or inside people's bedrooms?

They are only constructing and commissioning with their mouths and on papers!!

to just criticize what u av no knowledge of.

They will change gear at every instant. They will now say stuffs like - "they are constructing rail line so that they can campaign in the next election" as if that is any brainer

Myde4naija:
its not compulsory to believe them but if you care to know all their project is real, Lagos kano standard guage railway is on going. Confirmed


The process to get projects on course in Nigeria must be fellowed, don't think because a project is announced that means contractors should be at site the following day. That's why you go to school.


In Nigeria today our literacy and education is a waste. I can confirm that from you and many others.

I disagreed with you from the underlined up here. You are probably better to as "If" first, before "That is why"

rchilee:
You need to see Amaechi uncompleted rail in Ph

....and so, dem swear for Wike to also continue to abandon it? If Ambode had abandone Fashola's light rail project, do you think Lagos would have progressed?

mywells:
good for nothing PDP traitor you think you can deceive lagosian,if they want to this rail thing they should start from oworoshoki or ojodu Berger they should not come and cause confusion here in the city of Lagos na beg I dey beg oh.

Why are you displaying a "masterpiece" of ignorance, just because of hatred. You have not even bothered to read what the train is meant to serve. Oworo ko, Ipaja ni.

SmartMugu:
Why destroy the existing bridges when the rail can be channeled above them or underground? We've seen that done in many countries around the world.

In any capital project of this nature, you perform cost benefit analysis before you come to some conclusion. All the "why this; why that" question you're asking have been considered. Take for example, asking them to reroute from the Jibowu bridge..... the question is to where? Do you live in Lagos and are you family with both Jibowu and Costain environs? If they are to reroute, do you know the number of houses they will demolish?

Secondly, you ask they should do underground? well that is another terrain entirely. Aside costs, I am not sure if that would have been economically feasible at this stage. Sub-surface Lagos is mostly water. Virtually the whole of Costain axis for example is a "floating" environ, stretching up to National Arts Theatre. It will take some high-level investment in underground drilling and casement technology to pull that off. In addition cost of running such underground is also a factor.

Putting all these together, I believe it is more cost effective to pull down the two bridges. The combined length of both bridges is not up to 1km, so putting it back up should not be a problem, as such would have been factored in the contract

QueenOfNepal: :
The only thing that this government will end up doing is taking a snapshot of Amaechi uncompleted monorail and then splash it all over social media through the likes of Cleverly Deomelo and Goke7 then tjpse ones will now start swearing that the project is 89% completed whereas you are standing underneath the destroyed Jibowu bridge grin

Abii oo... Just the same way some slimy pdp/jonathanian fraudsters took screen shots of computer generated images of roads in Cameroon just before the last general elections and claimed GEJ had built 25,000km of world standard roads including the Lagos-Ibadan, Onitsha-Enugu, PH-Enugu, Benin-Lokoja, PH-Owerri, Elele-Owerri, 2nd Niger Bridge etc.

they also claimed that GEJ revolutionized the railways

jaxxy:
Don't see how custain bridges come into play yet. And its definitely sm mediocre railway system dat no decent person may comfortably wana use as usual dats main problem.

Bros,

Simple logic - both the Costain and Jibowu bridge are on the ROW of the high speed rail. They are old bridges, and may not withstand the impact of the "stress" (span, speed and vibration) that the new train will bring.

You get?

savagefinder:

fearless2014: :
Fellow Lagosians, let us all join hands together are fight away these lying demons from our state, they will soon start demolition of the bridges that are serving us and will never rebuild it, hoping to campaign with them for 2019.


Please chase them away.

I think you are only hindering progress.. Lagos state has beyond doubt shown that they stick to their words.. Eko Atlantic city that we thought was a hoax is a reality..


Modified.. You were right

Not only is he/she hindering progress, worse still he's calling people to mediocrity. No wonder people stay stagnant. So we should not connect the country with standard gauge rail systems....because hates the govt in power? Some people are just pathetically ridiculous
