Why yorubas are so hell bent on having this project
Could this project be the Savior of south west or east bikonu.

because some of them are so demented,they are filled with hate they can't think for themselves,they ve allowed their leaders to pass them hate,they told them the government is their enemy,anyway the longest hour btw the south west state is 6hr that's is ekiti,so na ss and se go suffer am,am only pained cos more northerners will flock lag now

Opharhe:
It will benefit everybody. I'm from Delta state and was very happy when the Jonathan govt. unveiled this coastal railway plan. The SW, SS and SE will benefit from this. On the issues bothering on geography, Calabar is in Cross-River which falls under the SS geo-politically. But Geographically, Calabar is in the East- South easternmost city in Nigeria. Remember Cross-River was formally the South-Eastern state. It's just the same way as Delta, Edo and Ondo are geographically in the South-west and Niger-Delta(crude oil wise) BUT Ondo is geo-politically in SW while Delta and Edo is in SS... I think I've tried.

I agree with you bro. I know it will benefit everybody, but the question remains, had it been it was not going to connect 3 western states, would the Yoruba be shouting ontop of their voices the way they are doing now?

I just wanted to expose their hypocrisy. Though not all of them, I still know quite a number of them that are very good. I also enjoy good relationship with them

shaddoww:
because it will pass through three states in d south-west and d Yorubas have always been in support of development.

Is it because Lagos-Kano rail will pass through the sea or air? Abeg dey use your brain jare!

Lvlink:
I think the actual plan of this project is to expand Lagos Economy, hence the vituperations from the West, and the calmness of the South East and South-South.

You guys are beyond redemption am from the East our people have become too docile in the Nigerian political framework. How can a rail line that would ease the movement of goods and services from the West to East and back only benefit the West. You guys are really beyond redemption. SMH

asorocker:
Why yorubas are so hell bent on having this project included in the budget is really surprising why are they crying more than the South South and south east.

Even the South East and Niger delta who are supposed to benefit from the project are not batting an eyelid.

Could this project be the Savior of south west or east bikonu.

there are times you don't reply what you don't understand. don't you know that deleting this project is political. I will blame my man Akpabio for not being himself.

the hypocrisy of ogundamisi. why attacking south south and south East...'re u saying the track wouldn't 've passed through yoruba states.


in his failed attempt to malign south east legislators. d ediot forgot it has nothing to do with south east. this same ediot cried blue murder wen enugu airport was being refurbished. dis same ediot raised false alarm about fake hotel Whr they sell human meat. when it dawned on dem the investors dat troupe to anambra


kayode ogundamisi is a typical greedy yoruba who want others to wail for dem when it doesn't favour dem but try all his best to scuttle development for others...


Whr was ogundamisi and his ediot south west legislators when Niger bridge contract was cancelled.


pls Mr ogundamisi should go and die biko.

Rail or no rail we go dey survive.i suspect the rail line is tinubus contract and now I know why he wants lawan.
Sun newspapers gave tinubu man of the year award and I say may God punish them for awarding such to a man who out of greed and selfish interest brought a man who is yet to even know the simple meaning of economics. A man who has been enriching himself through junketing.Well , every nigerian should be prepared at all times because this ship called nigeria could pull to a sudden halt soon.no food for the masses, no light, no fuel, no water now, nothing nothing absolutely nothing only hunger is thriving in nigeria.well, this government should look back and note that when God answers prayers of nigerians, He unleashes venom on their political tormentors.so am relaxed and I know that soon we shall have a good laugh.

Benbruce is just a stupid man, u pple will hear his stupid talk now, he's just on dat seat just 2 talk all d tym & no action @ all

NO FUEL, NO LIGHT, INCREASE IN PRICE OF FOOD ITEMS still waiting for Ogundamasi comments of the hardship in the country...

Ogundamasi should rather put is energy to ensure that Nigerian are not chained with change promises. Enough of budget distraction. The Minister of Budget and National planning lacked the Economics and Accounting competency to handle is own personal budget not to talk about the Budget of a Nation.

what are you talking about...this is Nigeria we are talking about..he has every right to criticize the legislators who were deaf&dumb when this bill was omitted from the budget..after all, were they sent there to just earn fat salaries and allowance? NO..why cant they fight for what will bring development to thier regions just the way the northern legislators are fighting for thiers?..why are they so passive over developmenttal issues that will bring development to thier various constituencies?..if the south south people cannot shout about this issue then let the poeple from the south west do it..after all they will be affected positively one way or the other in this project..na only gra gra over nothing , we dey south south and south east..when its comes to issues like they are never involve.

When the majority of youths in a nation decides to remain gullible,what can the elders and leaders do

I think i agree with you to a large extent. But you know, Nigeria is a complex multi-ethnic entity, so everybody is fighting for his/her own interest. We don't have to blame others if they're fighting for their interest alone(though not the best). That's the more reason why everyone has to be up and doing in knowing what is happening within the corridors of power especially in issues that concerns their immediate constituencies to get favourable results for their people. I thank God this project + Lagos-Kano rail are more of pan Nigeria projects hence everybody will naturally be interested. I just wish Nigeria's federalism can be loosened up away from what we have now... Everyone will focus more on developing their respective areas, inter-ethnic strife reduced, calls for secession quenched(or reasonably lowered). Infact Nigeria and Nigerians will be more productive while we ALL(and not just Niger-Delta alone) contribute our quotas to the Nigerian common wealth. Thanks Bro.

tobayas:
Some nigerians on NL lack common sence because of ethnicity. If a project comes to lagos, is it for yoruba only? Don't we have people from almost every part of nigeria live in lagos? Its then stupid to assume a project that will benefit lagos and nigeria at large is for the interest of yoruba only.

do you need brain from jumia?

Let. Us network the Nation through rail transport system..it is cheaper & better.

DONMAYOR19:
apc and scam. this was just the plan.
1. The Lagos-Calabar rail budget was never in the budget before.

2. Tell Nigeria that national assembly removed the Lagos-Calabar rail budget, making it look like the politician representing SS, SE are not fighting for their people.

3. apc will then raise alarm that they have removed the lagos-calabar rail budget o, just to deceived some gullible Nigeria like this kayode Ogundamasi.

4. the gullible Nigeria will then say e be like this apc government get everybody for heart o (dont forget the fact that this same man don solve maths for us before. 95:5 percent.


all this plan was arranged by lie muham-mad, mallam amaechi, bubu d dullard himself and thief-nubu just to paint PDP, SS, SE senators bad so when next election will come up, they can use it for their propagandas.

apc na scam and witchcraft party, believe them at your own problem.

I guess u didn't watch d video where Amaechi was defending d lagos 2 calabar project or does it mean d senators allowed him 2 defend a project that wasn't in d budget? SMH!

So Ogundamisi is the guy championin the rights of the "west" as against elected senators like Remi Tinubu? Historically activists like Fela (pan Africanism), Beko(social justice), Gani (social justice), Awo(warned FG about plundering of Niger Delta by IOC), Soyinka (biafra, cabal), Falana (social justice), Funmilayo Ransom Kuti (women rights), fights for the greater good and aren't partisan in any way.

SS and SE are always calm, so no surprises here.

And why is it that its only the Yorubas that are shouting on top of the roof?

*Why is the so called South-South and South East not bothered?

*Was the proposed project intended to actually benefit the South-South and South East, or another plot to expand Lagos economy? #ISmellRat


*And why is everybody now referring to Calabar as the "East" I thought Calabar is at the South-South? #hypocrisy


*Could it also be that the East and south are no longer bothered wether they are included in the Nigeria project, haven been described as 5% by Bubu, hence has accepted their fate?

Ask yourselves this questions, and your guess is as good as mine.



You see! Just like I predicted! This people are really deceitful. They make it look like they are fighting for other people, whereas it's for selfish motive.

irrespective of the primary beneficiary,the exclusion of the project is a disservice on the south of nigeria in particular and nigeria in general.
If lagos would gain more,it doesn't stop me from doing biz in lagos no matter where i come from.
Another eyesore is how some people lay the blame of the exclusion on the carelessness of southern senators accusing them of sleeping while the careful senators deleted a project that would benefit other nigerians.
Does that imply that we are akin to armed robbers fighting for loot as the only rule they adhere to is the jungle rule of survival of the fittest?
Nnamdi kanu is very right in referring to this country as a zoo.
This means that all through this administration that we cannot point to a meaningful project from the federal government even when they get most of the resources from the south.

Does it mean that senators from other geopolitical regions will remove a project meant for another geopolitical regions from the budget and then harden up waiting for senators from the the cheated region to fight,cry,kill etc then peradventure they kept their cool then its their fault.
Why not call our so-called national assembly national jungle gathering ,

MrGerald:
Calabar is in the East, [s]south south is a new contraception, nothing like that, they were all under old Eastern region, Enugu as capital[/s]

The lies you just posted here knows no bound bro. Are you telling me that Delta, Edo and some parts of bayelsa(SS) were under the old Eastern region?

Even if you don't study you history books let me schoo you on this one
Delta and Edo state were part of the old western region during pre-independence and early part of post-independence era. They later broke out to form what was known as the Midwestern region which was later changed to Bendel State.

Get it?

mapet:


You see when we say mad men full here berekete.........
1. So you'll rather deny your people welfare because it is coming from other tribes?
2. You do not want a rail line to come to Calabar because in your jaundiced brain "it will only develop the economy of Lagos".

One would have thought our problem as a country ends with leadership not knowing that it starts with the idiocy of people like you

why should a railway go from Lagos (a costal city with a port) to calabar (another costal city with a port) why not from calabar through eastern states? which SE state is even in the route of the proposed LAG-CAL rail?

KEKE for Rent.. It doesn't use fuel.. Na only battery...

My brother, you needed to watch the video and you will not be asking this useless question. OK below is the route of Calabar - Lagos rail

Calabar >> Uyo >> Aba >> PortHarcourt >> Yenegoa >> Otuoke >> Yenegoa >> Ugheli >> Warri >> Sapele >> Benin >> Agbor >> Asaba >> Onitsha >> Benin >> Ore >> Ijebu Ode >> Sagamu >> Lagos

What I find baffling is that you do not see how this rail connect the South-East-South-South Axis, there by facilitating movement of people, goods, trade and tourism. It looks to me that in your bid to "fight" for Eastern states, you'll rather everybody not have anything so that eastern states should have. Have you not known that Eastern states are land-locked and you can only access them mostly by land?

Who's talking about delta or Edo here? (old bendel state) rivers was created by the authorities in Enugu (old eastern capital) not by the authority from durdan barrack Lagos or aso Vila abuja.

MrGerald:

Rivers was never part of old Bendel. Please stop distorting history. Rivers was in the old Eastern region.

the calabar-lagos is just a grandiose, white elephant project that has no economic viability.
calabar and lagos are already sea ports.
goods from calabar destined for lagos should best be transported by sea.
likewise goods from lagos destined for calabar should best be transported by sea.
and i cannot think of any bulk products in lagos (calabar) needed in calabar (lagos).
please let me know if there is any.

the only goods that flow between the two termini are imported finished goods.
lagos serves as a transit center of goods destined for inland cities.
calabar is not an inland city and should not put pressure on our limited infrastructure.
rather that expend trillions of our new borrowed yuan on this foolish coastal rail line,
our policy makers should encourage the use of our coastal waterways to move people, goods and services to Warri, Yenagoa, PH, Uyo and Calabar.
A trainline running east-west a few hundred kilometers to the north would be much more strategic.

The way SW are really shouting about this project makes me take a step back in suspicion. Why is the SW suddenly 'looking out' for the East. The devil is in the details of that project proposal.

But you initially included the whole ss as part of the eastern region.
