But pdp is not human being na.. Amaechi was a pdp, Kalu was a pdp, Oshomole ruled for 8 years too, etc.. what did they complete?

Make una get sense.. When Saraki was in APC, u guys forgave him of his sins.. when Atiku was poumping billions to support Buhari in 2015, he was a great man.. when the formal Kano state govt was in APC, he was forgiven.. Apkabio used to be a bad leader to u guys, but he is now ur best friend..

Make una Nigerians dey deceive una selves. If Saraki abandons pdp now and returns to apc, he would be celebrated.. Nigerian followers are so daft.
Bros. It's about good leadership. Once you have a good president. Everyone will behave and do normal not the abnormalities the country witnessed in the 16 years of PDP.
Nigeria has never been fortunate with a good leader like Buhari since the advent of this democracy.
Though Obasanjo seems to have good intentions but lost it midway due to his unquenchable thirst for power which has not yet departed from him.

I think there should be a thread to challenge PDP to Name projects they started from zero and completed for use in their 16 years or reign. Presently I could not even think of a single one, shame dey catch me now.

This is the Uromi Train Station heading towards Agbor. All is now set for the official kick-off of the Itakpe Warri Rail. The train did a test run today to see the effectiveness and also to see how well the contractors have faired.

It may be recalled that the 327km Standard-Gauge Itakpe Warri Rail links Itakpe in Kogi State To Ajaokuta and then to Warri, Delta State (Itakpe to Ajaokuta, 50KM; Ajaokuta to Warri, 277KM).

The Itakpe Warri Rail Line was started by President Babangida circa 1987, it was planned as a freight-only Rail, serving the Iron Ore / Steel belt between Aladja and Ajaokuta. It is now being reconfigured as a PASSENGER + Freight Rail, to maximize usefulness.

These are photos from the site at Uromi Train Station.

Re: Itakpe Warri Rail: Test Run Of Trains Commence At Agbor - Photos by Felixv: 8:27am On Dec 30, 2018
Great achievement- the whole country should be linked up by rail.

I foresee a time when we would be able to take a train from Lagos to Abuja

Then probably linking up to Warri or Kogi.

But the challenge is maintenance we definitely have to maintain this important infrastructure

1) Nigerian Railway corporation will employ people to operate those trains and administrative staff members will be employed
2) Train stations are business hubs, people will also spend less on transportation because rail is cheaper

The Rail way that also crosses my hometown is now functional, an over head bridge is now being completed, remembered when I was young the overhead bridge was abandoned and we were forced to convert the rail track as our road.

Kudos to Buhari, more needs to done, we need our refineries working!, Aladja is a dying town, the steel plant needs to be revived.

@AutoReportNG may God bless you for your beautiful good job , we good Nigerians know that Buhari is the best among the rest.

PDP will never want justice done by the media on this beautiful job done by Buhari administration but with the influence of good people of this country, it 'll be known even to those in the village that have no or little access to the media .


Never again will PDP rule this country again, in fact @ we need to celebrate this grin

Lol, so Buhari is a good leader? What happened to his inability to persecute his friends and families in corruption cases?

Which competent leader does not sack his chief of army staff after losing too many soldiers to terrorists this year alone?

What happened to the current state of security in Nigeria? Hope u know that since the civil war, Nigeria has not suffered lost of security personnel like we have in this govt?
How can ur president condemn other leaders traveling abroad for treatment but came in and did worse? He even broke record and spent over 95 days outside his country for treatment after all the huge allocations for medicals in Aso Rock.

How about condemning subsidy but came back to be paying more than the previous govt paid while Nigerians pay more for fuel.. Is that not madness?

I know these things don't make sense to u.. But they are there.. Pls Buhari is not a definition of good leader.. We are so used to bad leaders that we think Buhari is good..

Good questions:
1) Along the rail track new industries will be established due to increased commercial activities
2) Direct employment and indirect employment associated with increased commercial activities along the corridor will be massive
3)Cost of land and fixed assets will increase
4)As a result of the rail now farmers in the area,who has been wasting 85% of their harvests,will now have the opportunity of moving their perishable harvest on time and further thereby increasing their earning power with resultant multiplier effect
5) Increased GOT between the 2 states will ensure more money to the state Govt hence better life for the citizens
6) Food processing companies will increase in that corridor die to ease of connectivity to the massive Nigeria's population


I can go on and on because nothing generates more employment than the provision of infrastructure especially transport infrastructure.

My brother hate or live Buhari we haven't had a futuristic and pragmatic president like him in Nigeria before now. The tragedy of our existence

To answer your question: past govts were busy playing politics and self serving

This is development that can be appreciated, not scam slogans like Vision2020, Transformation Agenda, Grow Nigeria, Get Nigeria Working Again.

Nigeria cannot afford to go back to empty slogans of Projects Dumping Party era filled with abandoned projects.

We have to ensure continuity so that we get All Projects Completed.
Hopefully in another 10+ years we should be taking these basic amenities that make life better for granted.

4+12 = All Projects Completed.
U forget to mention that 80% of those in apc today were pdp in those 16 years... Keep dreaming

Did u listen to the People Trust presidential candidate interview on Channel?

He made so many senses.. If u want to fight corruption, u need to block the ways people commit corruption..

Buhari is not doing same.. For instance, according to him, o mean the PT candidate, contract bidding and awarding are one of the biggest forms of corruption in nigeria.. He stated that same thing pdp did is what Buhari led admin is doing. And what is that? They award contracts to Buhari's associates without due process.. There was one contract scandal that was reported recently. The families of the president, his friends, etc have all become Billionaire's over night....

The same recruitment scandal. U know how many scandals were reported so far under this admin. I can go on and on..

My bro, Buhari is not a good leader pls.. He is so bias, so slow, no compassion, protect his associates so much, etc

Stop distracting us.

Name 10 PDP members that was jailed by PDP in their 16yrs and I will name 2 APC member currently in jail.
