Stop holding onto some useless masterplans of decades ago like some scriptures. Are those things still expedient in todays reality. Is a dormant airport our priority? Redundant roads? Flyovers? Sharing structure.

lexy2014:
that is not what I asked you.

is obi still the governor of anambra state that you ask "why hasn't Anambra taking advantage of it's ability in rice production"?

Otamendi99:
No. We have been borrowing and squandering it among ourself.. from OBJ's $16B on power infrastructure. Obi won't still do shii

There is no where in the world where rail transportation is profitable to govt,they are being sustained with some form of subsidy or waiver.......in it's own little way,that rail line has contributed immensely to the lives of those who use it as it's a cheaper and convenient way for them to get to and from work,this enhances productivity to that demography.....you can replicate several other infrastructural developments that can upscale the living standards of the people and enhance their productivity and well being.....imagine what Lagos would have been like if Abuja wasn't developed,it would have been a disaster,do also mean to tell me the 2nd Niger bridge isn't expedient to the people who use it as an alternative to the old one...... infrastructure is development.....do you know if the coastal road were to become reality today,I can actually make a round trip from Lagos to PH same day.....now tell me how that won't boost productivity and drive development in that axis.

Every city we call developed all over the world didn't get to Eldorado by just a flip of the finger,everyone had a master plan that was adhered to and developed by every successive govt .....u can't give re inventing the wheel at every turn.

Tinubu is a man known for foresight in planning and infrastructural development,the facts are there even to the blind except u want to deceive yourself......lekki peninsula,lekki deep-sea port several reformative policies in different sectors in Lagos.....obi on the other hand isn't seen to be that huge in infrastructure which isn't a bad thing really and he also has his own style of governance which his people support him for.

I bet you don't know Lagos or where Lagos was two and half decades ago.

lexy2014:
if all tinubus advisers with years of experience are smart, how have they used their smartness to make nigeria better?

mrvitalis:
How much have the Lagos Ibadan rail generated

How about second niger bridge

Bros economics is not sentiments

VanuatuWycombe:
Mr hey didn’t build it to generate money. They built it to ease transportation and commuting so that life won’t be lost on roads, goods can get to destinations safely and reduce transportation cost, among others.

You will see that after they finished the construction, a lot of industries are springing up which are employing people and they are buying raw materials etc. so trade will boom and quality of lives would improve.

I pray you leave Nigeria one day and go to western world to see what they call infrastructure. You will know that they don’t build infrastructure to make money, solely.

mrvitalis:
So does it make sense for a struggling economy to build rail?

iwaeda:
This is too caustic for Obidents.

CodeTemplar:
There is a difference between development thats supports production and better life, and the ones that supports the pocket of contract awarding officers.

Bobodee09:
Is nice to know you economics better than maduka.

I know you are Billionaire and just hiding your identity.

mrvitalis:
Nigerians power ministry budget was not upto 16 billion throughout 8 years of Obasanjo combined

Stop talking what u know nothing about

mrvitalis:
Name five industry sir

VanuatuWycombe:
Grand Cereal
Olam
Nestle
NDK
Flex Films
CWAY
Sino Group
Eternal Oil
Mikano Auto
Wichtech Gerald

And soooooo many that I can’t even remember their names.

Some are even behind the express into the bush.

mrvitalis:
All these industries where here before the rail they never moved because of the rail oga

Name one company that came because of the rail. Line

VanuatuWycombe:
Check well.

Rail line is still new. Companies don’t come the next day an infrastructure is done.

More so, it is not only situation of industry along rail corridor or along the road that would say an infrastructure is useful.

People that are being transported create values too. Sone would be going for business. Sone would be going leisure which they would still spend.

There’s is a multiplier effect on creating of infrastructure.

Those companies you said are there before construction are lies. Obasanjo started Lagos-Ibadan Expressway ‘wuruwuruly’ in before 2014. The pace was slow before Buhari came to finish it. I am a factory person and I know what I am saying.

Now that I am not stable in Nigeria, I am sure many companies would have sprung up towards Ajebo-Ogere axis because one factory was being built closed to Ogere then, on your way to Ibadan from Lagos.

mrvitalis:
Lmaooo which school did u go to please

mrvitalis:
Lagos Ibadan is old enough
Abuja Kaduna is old enough
Warri to ajokuta is old enough so name one

The truth is fundamentally 95% of Nigerians don't know how development works

Let's break this down for you... We have village A and village B both get 50 billion

Village A use that money to build roads, hospitals, market, schools etc beautify the village

Village B builds no infrastructure, unstead gave loans out to its villagers to set up business in the village, then pay taxes to the village

After 10 years which of the village would be better off considering they must pay back that 50 billion after 10 years

kettykings:
One of this country’s biggest problems is its obscene overhead costs. Even the United States is slashing its own. Meanwhile, Nigeria burns cash on wasteful governance.

If Peter Obi had managed resources, every minister would have driven Nigerian-made cars, sat on Nigerian-made furniture, and slashed their bloated entourages by over 90%.

The result? Nigerian companies would have built vehicles for government use, furnished government offices, and the outrageous Aso Rock budget would have been redirected to industrial and agricultural development.

There would have been no pointless universities in Osun and Ekiti—just another reckless drain on resources. No vanity coastal highway, another billion-dollar ego trip. Instead, Nigeria would have actually invested in its future.

Those extra universities and barracks which are pure waste of funds should be canceled by Tuesday next government

tutudesz:
Giving advice is one, taking advice is another

tutudesz:
Seriously So all his economy adviser's with years of experience are not smart

VanuatuWycombe:
Those roads, hospitals, markets, schools etc you mention in village A are also called infrastructure.

When you hear the word INFRASTRUCTURE, don’t imagine or think of only rail or electricity.
Anything that is provided for use of people is called infrastructure. When such infrastructure is now for society’s use, they could still call it social infrastructure or social amenities.

You are mixing things up. We are talking of government infrastructure and its multiplier effects. You are talking of giving loan to someone to set up villages.

If you need enlightenment on this, ask people on NL or elsewhere and they would enlighten you.
Or was it that you were given an assignment somewhere and you are looking for someone to solve it for you?

I hope you have learned one more thing today sha.

lexy2014:
what are the "several reformative policies in different sectors in Lagos" that tinubu is responsible for?

how is tinubu responsible for lekki peninsula?

this deep sea port, how much activities does it witness a day with respect to import and export?

mrvitalis:
Lmaooo quote the economics text book please

hakeemhakeem:
So I should quote text book written as way back 70s , this is 2025.I saying what is apply economics you need to wake up
