uduak2016:
I opened this thread for people like you and many others so they can know what's going on....there no stop stations in SE. Absolutely none in Onitsha...it's a lie. The claimed Aba is also a carefully packaged lie...it cuts across Abia on the border with Akwa Ibom some where in the jungle not necessarily in Aba!

provide evidence it passes abia at the border and not aba and I will provide mine.

Hmmm! I listened to Amaechi's presentation but if your position is the truth then we have a long way to go!

Op Yorubas don't need igbos to get anything rather the igbos are the one that need the Yorubas, the igbos are the one that always need other region to be relevant, for example just watch how you have to join the SS with Igbos to make your your argument thick, whereas if the rail does not pass through SE it definitely must pass through SS because it is a Lagos-Calabar link rail so you shouldn't have join SS in your argument if not for the insecurity and inferiority complex that has always bedevil an average igbo. Beside if the rail does not pass through SE then so be it, if the igbos feel marginalised so be it. One thing that is synonymous with Igbos is HATE.

Please don't make me laugh. The same Yorubas begging for 'one Nigeria' don't need anybody? It is time we all did away with this SW/SE/SS nonsense. These terms have no constitutional or legal backing. We must start calling people by their names instead of some geographical point.

i tire for them o!

Now they want the SS to reject the project which passes all SS states just because it only cuts through 2 SE states.

Will the SS be stupid enough to buy this their foolishness?

asha80:
it passes through aba..look carefully at the down right corner of the map and you will see it is from the construction firm ccecc..if you do not want to believe it Na your biz

So because it touches Aba the whole SE should be involved and start jumping up and down is Aba=SE
Abeg dey ur lane o! The right thing should be done regardless of whose ox is gored, this project very much concerns the SW as well so no one should pin it on the SS/SE

Exactly so why is everybody blaming the SE senators in this matter? Since the project no concern SE

The South South has no deep sea port.

So Aba and Onistha is no longer in the SE

Prof Ben Ayade is currently building the Bakassi Deep Seaport in Cross Rivers state. PMB was there few months ago for the groundbreaking ceremony

I Wu anuohia Kara aka..udele ka gi mma anu mpama..danm a rubbish project gej himself initiated?have you even seen the railway master plan before and the routes? Why have the se senators (ufodu ha Wu iti) not agitated for the one rail route that is supposed to connect Lagos -benin-agbor-asaba-onitsha-enugu-abakaliki route to be implemented or what about that route that is supposed to connect Onitsha-nnewi-owerri-aba? Have you contacted your senator to know why or you don't care ?
It passes through aba that is it..which one is it just kisses? Some of you guys are getting plain stupid.

Go and as

Do u even understand d economic implication of dat Rail
Or u just sit back and type rubbish,

D implication is dat industry in d southeast will migrate to SW, COS it will become cheaper to transport
Finished goods to SE using rail, and d new ones wount be bothered to cm down EAST since it will be cheaper

For them to get their raw materials from Lagos port, finish it dre and easily move d finished goods to SE WITH RAIL

WE will all become consumers instead of manufacturers.

Now dat is common sense.

Because we Igbos have chosen to be short sighted, doesnt mean the SS are also myopic like us. You want them to forfeit a Rail project that would cut across all the six state in the SS? Do you know how it would boost the tourism potential of Tinapa and Obudu Resort in Calabar?

go and tell the above to gej who initiated the project while the se senators and hor kept mute and general populace did not care

We Igbos are the cause of our own problems

If ben ayade is building a deep sea port then what is the federal government doing. The loan should be taken to upgrade other Niger delta ports to sea port as this will encourage export of goods from the hinter land to overseas via the Niger delta sea ports.

What is the economic advantage of linking Lagos with Calabar via rail that supersedes building deep sea ports and dock yards that would encourage evacuation of produce and products for export.

all these noise because it's not going to pass through anambra.... Lol.

VivianUdeogu:

Igbos are not the problem of anyone, the rail way line built with chinese loans might end up like other abandoned projects, how will the rail line generate revenue and pay for th loan.

I was one of the first person that opposes this evil they called railway project!

I still insist, this is a grand plan to expand Lagos economy.

Anambra does not need it what anambra needs is a navigable route to the sea

Your monicker may be Igbo but enough of the insult.

A major railway line that passes along the border of one SE state while all the other regions and states are ably represented is what you are expecting a right thinking Igbo man or woman to applaud, where is your pride? This is coming at a time when second Niger bridge construction was suspended, when no proposed FG project is visible in the SE .
What happens if you suggest that the railroad should bifurcate at Benin as SEastern and Ssouthern railroad to join at Aba and continues to Calabar?.
The right thinking Igbo's will continue to cry against marginalisation until the right thing is done, we are not going to settle for less, we are equally Nigerians and should be treated as one.

First of Obudu cattle ranch and mountain resort isn't in calabar its some 7-8hrs from calabar via a very terrible federal road.
Secondly, the SS can go ahead and approve of the project but we all know what's up behind that project and they will be the first to start blowing up the rail when they see the true reason behind that project.
And I am willing to bet that its stop in Aba isn't even a train station.
Here u are calling it a SS/SE project and yet it cuts across 3 SW states and kisses Aba somewhere in the jungle.
Get us a seaport either in the SS/SE let's develop our region and let Lagos be

Oxenomy:
Show us the map from a reliable source and stop this your malicious lies and deception against SE.. I have been watching you lately on NL here but continue, you will be exposed very soon.

You heard the transport minister in the video mentioning with his mouth, the towns where the proposed standard rail is meant to cross but you say you need a reliable source. There is no need to show you any map cos it is obvious your prejudice towards amaechi/buhari/apc has blocked your ability to be objective.

33xtr9r:
What sort of railway project, maliciously taunted to benefit the SE/SS/SW regions, and yet its track is so designed not to traverse a good portion of SE but rather crafted to just kiss the fringes thereof?

This is no matter of claiming Igbo on NL just to garner cheap likes from likeminded beings, for comments devoid of sound judgement and reasoning...

Once again, you are nobody to talk for the SE let alone the SS. The rail goes through the SS and touches some SE cities, it is called the coastal railway and it is a highly welcome development. If this is supposed to be opposition, then I've never in my life seen this kind of foolish opposition where humans almost literally cut their heads off to spite their nose. Your senseless wailing and prejudice for amaechi/buhari/apc obviously makes you wish bad for the SE so you can justify your irrational hatred for apc. But this your wickedness will not fly, development will come to the SE and SS. All of you opposed to this project all because of some foolish tribal/regional politics, your mentalities all stink, Tufia!

The OP, Uduak2016 should tell us how he came about Lagos getting FG allocations that are more than those of all the six South South states combined.

He asked for a map, show him a map which in case your Amaechi/Buhari/APC starts their denials and lyings their will be a concrete evidence to shut them up. Even with video evidence, they often defends themselves that their words are misconstrued.
I repeat sincerely that if it is only the southernmost tip of Aba that is involved in this railway fiasco then it is totally unacceptable and should be wailed over.
Give us the map.

What is even wrong with some of you wailers?... Is it any and everything you oppose?.... It is called the coastal rail and yes, it goes through all the coastal states, but with a stop at Aba and a spur from Benin to Onitsha; what else do you want before you understand that it is a good project?.... Ar you suggesting that a major project like this which benefits the entire SS should be scrapped because it would benefit the SS more than the SE?... Is this a case of evil selfishness that makes you hate the fact project goes through the SS?... or is it just a case of just senseless short-sightedness that makes you think a high speed train which connects Onitsha and Lagos and also Aba would not be beneficial to the SE?.... Once again, is it everything that we must play politics of division with?

And by the way, the 2nd Niger bridge was never suspended by anyone but for the unavailability of funds for it in the 2015 budget. Nobody ever planned to stop the project and it is evil devisive souls like yourself that keep spreading this rumour of the bridge being cancelled by this govt purely to create disaffection and hate. God pass una and this evil folly will only consume you. Never in my life have I seen humans who are truly willing to cut their heads off to spite their nose.

story for the gods

kenny987:
Understand my point and stop being rude. Why is it just two towns in the entire SE? Meanwhile in other regions you have one or more routes through each state? Is Aba in Abia the only area or city in the whole SE?

so it must pass through 10 towns in the SE before we can believe there is no marginalization, like I said earlier in one of my posts, if am PMB, I won't bother any longer cos nothing seem to please you guys after all even your lawmakers don't care either.

What do you mean by 'only the southernmost tip of aba'?.... was the rail suppose to turn around aba township like an intracity metro before you agree it has gone through Aba?.... What sort of odious reasoning is this?.... Since GEJ lost this election, what sort of affliction have befallen Igbo youths?.... okay just like the poster above asked, did you wail over this project when GEJ was in power?... cos the plans for this project have been around for over 10 years.

you guys keep using the excuse of sea port just to jettison the rail project, the issue of sea port is a different thing altogether, why not demand for rail and sea port together, does it make sense to refuse a house in Ikeja for a house in lekki when you can have both of them?
