speak for yourself man.. I'm from Edo state. and as for me and my family its PMB till 2023.
When we discuss SS Edo is not considered to be one.
The Mid-west mentality can never let you free.

And they said we should prefer a billionaire who claimed he makes a paltry N20m par annum who also abandoned these projects when he had the opportunity. O buru ogwu oma nre.

I know for sure Buhari has not completed your educational project.

It looks like he failed in that aspect.

You and your family bawao.

SS is locked down for Atiku! Who considers Edo true Niger Deltans.

The creeks of Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Calabar are all for Atiku and are PDP states.

Go and join your fellow Yoruba people in South West. Bini descended from Yoruba so go give Buhari your allegiance. Afterward he'll send fulani herdsmen to your communities to rape your women folk .
Mr man you're useless and I mean it. Because of politics you're writing this senseless write up? In years to come, when you see this same comment you wrote, you'll be ashamed of you self.

Itakpe/Warri line is an industrial line already concluded to a standard gauge rail system.
Running around Nigeria looking for tapes to cut won't
add value to this confused administration. shocked
I used to work at Itakpe near okene where the iron ore mining company is located. This line is a dedicated iron ore line, long long ago completed and having serviceable locomotives already. It was NEVER conceived to be a mass transit line, and was under the purview of the ministry of power and steel.
The idea that it is now for mass transit means the iron and steel plant is being shelved, and that is worrying. If you are truly on a mission to revive the economy, awaken the steel company. That will empower the region in much the same way as an oil company would.

If you ask some people why they want to vote this govt out, they cite economic hardship and lack of money in their pockets.
Apparently, PDP's 16yrs has ruined the mentality of Nigerians as to how an economy actually works.
They looted the treasury, spend the loots lavishly and this spending somehow trickles down to the ordinary man on the streets. And because money was circulating, Nigerians say the economy is good and they prefer corruption era to integrity. *smh*

How an economy actually works is...the govt builds critical infrastructure and investors come in to create companies/businesses that employ Nigerians. All the developed countries we're running to had to go through this phase to become economic giants.

Money isn't circulating unlike before because there is no looted funds flying around. No more free money. Instead, it's going to fix our infrastructure for the future.
Your parents were not rich but were only giving you proceeds of corruption.
Lazy youths should go and work for money!

I see a great Nigeria in less than a decade if we continue on this track.
4+4 = More infrastructural developments.
The bitter truth even though this administration romances and glosses over the same corruption that has over the years being a clog in our wheel of progress.

I concur to your comment.

Nothing stops such line being used for cargo and commuters.

Stop assuming.

When they mentioned that this project was completed, can you remember the cries on the former thread ?https://www.nairaland.com/4791826/rail-line-completed-ajaokuta-abuja

Someone said his community was along the rail line and there was no development bla bla bla.

Is this a film trick now ? May God deliver us from blind hatred in Nigeria.

Interesting this free month ride might be precedent for newly opened rail lines. This rail line will probably be the most profitable since they're moving goods and passengers. Hopefully they start soon.
Atikulated men would avoid reading this, the lifeless president is bringing live to all abandoned projects.

You lack understanding of the discussion here.
I doubt if you even know how the Nigerian railways are designed.
Just to update you, that line it's an industrial line dedicated for iron ore and other solid minerals between the steel industry in Warri and Itakpe.
The minister or whoever is behind this information knew Buhari followers lacks knowledge and understanding shocked shocked

And you think starting new projects when there are lots of incomplete project makes sense! Just so you know, project initiation is a good way for corrupt politicians to pull out bulk capital from government account, and very rarely do you see them complete those supposed initiated project. Completing a project means cutting off your source of stealing money. In my current work place we have over 10 incomplete projects, because every DG wants to initiate a project, no without an intention to complete a project.
This is just a good for thoughts for you while you are criticizing the govt for completing abandoned project!

There's nothing like a line completely dedicated to cargo.
