Agbegbaorogboye:
Niger does not export oil. Show us their oil exports. They're even struggling to provide feed for their refinery

Rather bring forward evidence to prove your own argument.

I dey wait!

AceRoot:
You make very valid points here. Two other factors could be the terrain + topography of the route, and the reach of the dreaded Islamic terror group(s) nearby.

Thank you o

Agbegbaorogboye:
Mtcheew. You're just arguing what you know nothing about. Niamey is close to Benin Republic. So your analogy is meaningless. The point to note there is the road from agadez to Niamey is good same with from Niamey to Cotonou.
From Agadez to Cotonou is shorter than from Agadez to Lagos. End of story

You are the one who doesn't know about it. Oil is in Agadem, not Agadez.

And taking the oil first to capital Niamey before moving it to the port is like having an item manufactured in the SE and going to Cameroon first coming to the capital of Nigeria Abuja before going to Cameroon

Go and learn African Geography.

Thank you o

I think many people do not know the geopolitical balance of this project.

Benin republic saw a loophole to capture all the trade routes and corner all the transportation architecture of Niger.

The uranium and oil fields of Niger are far closer to Nigeria's seaports than Benin. And Mardi is the second-largest city in Niger and central to distribution to Niger.

It will be foolish not to lobby and offer a better proposal to Niger to get more control of their transport needs by accessing Nigeria's seaports which mean more businesses for Nigeria.

And by the way, the 3billion dollar eastern railway is already ongoing which starts from Port Harcourt and a deep Bonny seaport is part of the deal.

The government has surely failed in a lot of areas but with regards to infrastructure, I think we can look with an objective lens.

Agbegbaorogboye:
I meant uranium not oil. Niger does not export oil but it does uranium. What Buhari is saying is meaningless.

Oil has been discovered in Niger, and they have started exporting. Pls check again.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Oil is in agadez region in the north west. We're looking to build rail up to maradi in the South Central.
It's easy to see that Niamey the capital is closer to Benin than Nigeria and more importantly, agadez is closer to Benin Republic than maradi.
It's geography not economics.
The economics aspect of it clearly shows in who has a more efficient port. I hope you know Benin Republic port is more efficient.

Agadem is different from Agadez. Oil is in Adadem, not Agadez. Check again.

Hypocritical bigot! You started talking about shape of head, and you say somebody is insulting you.
Who is a politician? Never been interested in this fraudulent/scam democracy you practice in Nigeria!

Go and check your first post, you will see how the insult there revealed the shape of your head.

Ode do!

[quote author=AceRoot post=102582175][/quote]The oil in Nigeria is in Agadem (the part I cycled blue), not at the border between Benin and Niger. And we all know that the shortest distance between two points is always a straight line (mathematics).

Most people talking don't even know the detail. Amaechi has been saying this thing everyday, but people have made up their minds on what they want to hear.

Please study this thing, and forget the political noise for 2023. This is reality.

saxha:
Benin republic.

How please? Is the border still closed?

Agbegbaorogboye:
The West African map

See the crevice between Nigeria and Benin. And remember that the oil is not at the border between Niger and Benin.

Between Nigeria and Benin, who takes goods to every part of Niger? And it is passing through all the way to Lagos.

This is ordinary economics o.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Punch is not being sensational. Rather, they are discerning. If you think Niger will leave Benin Republic ports which are far more efficient than Nigerian ports just because we built a rail then you must have another one coming.
Besides, the route from through Benin is shorter than Nigeria for Niger. So there's no benefit for Niger using Nigeria's port except you have a plan to shutdown Benin Republic ports.
Secondly, the trans-saharan trade does not favour Nigeria in any wise. The major proponents are the Arabs and there's nothing historically or presently we have to offer them in terms of trade. We are better served by the trans-atlantic trade.

For which map is Benin shorter?

Commendable!
You rarely hear such admonishment from the elite of the SE. Most of them just try to indirectly rationalise what so called "UNKNOWN GUNMEN" are doing.
