PDP/APC didn't find anything to demarket Peter Obi they now shifted to Doyin Okupe, let me ask again is Doyin Okupe contesting for the post of President?



Vote Peter Obi for President.

Meanwhile at a good rate sell your Pi π to us.
He wasn't the president either when he made that statement.

Nigeria can’t afford it that’s why we borrowed.

How much are we using for debt servicing?

If you had to borrow before you can buy something it simply means you couldn't afford it. Okupe is 100% correct. The trains are now running at a loss
USA is the most indebted nation on earth. Did you guys really have education or actually know one or two things about economy and development?

Mumu stay there de mumu your father, ordinary South Africa get bullet train


TechtraGadgets:
Is this modern to you?

I assume this interviewer meant light-speed rail (bullet trains), of which China is the only country that has built significant amounts.

The irony.
What’s the GDP per ratio of USA compared to nigeria?

Most nations borrow. Borrowing is not even the problem at all if it is used for infrastructural development. The problem is mismanagement, diversion, looting, etc.

What is debt servicing, what do you understand by these two words? Because, I really want to correct you.
Re: Doyin Okupe: Nigeria Can't Afford Brand New Trains; It Is Not America (2015) by TDIsaac(m): 1:16pm On Oct 13, 2022
What he said is still the truth. Nigeria can't afford it. If Nigeria can afford it then there is no need getting loans from China to buy it. He has spoken the truth. Anyone mocking him has no sense.
Re: Doyin Okupe: Nigeria Can't Afford Brand New Trains; It Is Not America (2015) by flexyrule(m): 1:16pm On Oct 13, 2022
There's no single modern rail line in the entire south south. Yet, that is where over 50% of Nigeria earnings come from


The injustice being meted on the South South Region of this country is distasteful.

One reason I support Wike's hooliganism.

Higher than that of Nigeria, so is their debt.

And there is no way you're developing or getting out of poverty without borrowing. What you use it for is another debate.

We could easily fix the old ones and convert it to carry only haulage. This would made more sense than this nonsense embarked upon by this government.
Passenger rails too are also necessary IMO. And we need a wider rail network.

Personally, I would like it if we could connect at least 5 cities per geopolitical zone by rail...as part of the network, and also have rail connections to Niger, Cameroon, Benin, and other African countries.

We became world capital of poverty under this administration, this administration has borrowed the most loan in nigeria history combined.

---History of Okupe, DG Presidential Campaign Council of LP---

He is 70yrs. Former Natl Pub Sec of NRC during the June12, 1993 election.
He was vehemently opposed to MKO Abiola & supported the annulment of Abiola's victory, although he is acclaimed to be an indigene of Ogun State too
Well, he was also a member of the NPN and he opposed Chief Awolowo absolutely too.
He later became a chronic member of the PDP.
He was SA to OBJ but was fired due to a rumor with Stella.
He was also SA to Jonathan. During his 'SA-ship' to GEJ, he once said "it is impossible to build modern rail system in Nigeria.
He later dumped PDP for Accord Party. He dumped Accord back to PDP.
He has again dumped PDP for LP.
A brand new politician to OBIDENTS, a good customer to EFCC, and now the DG of ENDSARS saviour and Ip.ob*'s hope.

These new trains were purchased with heavy loans borrowed from China. Nigeria cannot afford them due to corruption of stealing in government.
