If I am to deceive people, have you taken time to go through all the sources I quote? All the dailies can't be wrong at the same time I guess?


All the dailies you quoted all stated the project was meant to commence & be completed by 2015(3yrs) .... "but due to how the government works" is that a cover up line to defend pdp , which should give kudos to them for bringing ideas they had so much time not to implement. you funny o!
So what would av happened to nigeria infrastrucrural development if all apc does is concede ideas but never implement or commence any.
Mr auto ...apc started the rail project from 1% so i donnt see why we should be grateful to pdp/GEj ... growth ideas are not just limited to a person or party the world is full of examples to copy & paste

Forget long story. I watched the ground breaking ceremony by Osinbajo live on TV sometime in March 2017.
This govt started this project and paid the 15% counterpart funding. They have also paid for the trains.

But if your source is Peter Obi or Kola Ologbodinyan or Vanguard newspaper, then PDP started it and even paid for the project 100%. After all the same Vanguard carried fake headlines of $1 = 1N wey Baba no promise. cheesy
Also GEJ commissioned the 2nd Niger Bridge, however on paper. Ask them to show you the bridge and they'll show you pictures of Loko - Oweto Bridge. grin

Anyways, I and my 39 family members are going to the #NextLevel of Infrastructural development in Nigeria.

At best, ur report is incomplete. As u painstakingly quoted all those newspapers, during d signing of d MOU, u could have taken time to, also explain d financing, groundbreaking and what led to d PDP not completing it.
Ur excuse of govt delay, carries no weight abeg. U actually came across as a PDP apologist, which is no crime, but u should be able to beat ur chest, with it!

Where do all these PDP e-rats comes from. For the fact that I signed a piece of paper with u that I'm going to build your house does not necessarily mean that I started and built it.
PDP always has starting but not finishing like an IMPOTENT MAN.
You know an IMPOTENT always boast that if he handles any lady he will F....ck her to death but when he get to the action field he will start telling stories that he has headaches, stomach aches, he can even say he is born again and s...x is forbidden in his church.

AutoreportNG, This is the second time I am commenting on your post today. You are damaging your brand by carrying unsubstantiated news.
How much did the PDP government paid to the Chinese contractor? Did the Jonathan government perform any ground breaking of the railway progress?
Osinbajo conducted the groundbreaking two years ago.
Maybe, PDP only know about paying money to companies without making sure any work is done.
?


Some of you are just ignorant

See, what Osinbajo flagged off was the actual grading and laying of tracks.
Do you know the amount of work and effort undergone before this stage of grading and laying tracks?

Let me educate some of you. First, GEJ negotiated with China to have China Exim Bank and CCECC onboard these projects.
GEJ paid the required 15% counterparts fund while China is providing the remaining balance of 85%

The contractor CCECC started fabrications of Lagos - Ibadan rail tracks in China since 2013. Note that this process take years to
complete. Remember again that about same time, same CCECC were also hurrying to complete Abuja MetroLine and Abuja-Kaduna lines.

Now, the company is facing Lagos - Ibadan having completed the other lines. You can see that the project is very fast because CCECC
used the previous years to do fabrications of tracks in China, shipping them down to Nigeria in readiness for the project

To come up with a policy on rail construction is not an easy task. so kudos should be given to President Jonathan for successfully initiating rail revolution with the the Chinese government after decades of ruin. You need competent hands in government to come up with good policies and programs. BVN, IPPS, ICPC, EFCC, TSA are all policies initiated by the PDP administration to curb and reduce corruption to its minimum.
GEJ initiated the policies but he did not have balls to implement. It takes a courageous and trustworthy man like Febuhari to implement it.

There's nothing like balls.
CCECC were still very busy on the other rail lines such as Abuja - Kaduna, Abuja MetroLine and Ajaokuta - Itakpe - Warri lines.

Besides, they were also working on Lagos - Ibadan behind the scenes by fabricating the rails being used now

You must think you are talking to a door knob. Fabricating tracks for 4 years. I bet you don't have the first clue about building railways.

@AutoReportNG here is my little advice to you:
Please don't destroy your young brand with the shamelessness of the PDP. Even if you are a PDP sympathizer, kindly find a new handle for that.

In 10 days Atiku will be defeated and his IPOB supporters can go back to screaming Zoooooo all the way to Jupiter.

Even you too should be advised to desist from playing God and stop issuing threats based on a future event which outcome you do not know.

What will happen in 10 days' time is known only to God. As you may or may not know, playing God is very dangerous.

Democracy thriveson on free and open expression of opinions.

The guy has put up an information backed up with some newspapers publications. He only called for other people's views. You may either buttress or disprove his assertion with your own opinion.

Suppressing dissenting views and promoting fascism can be very tempting when you have temporary powers, but it won't be forever. Nothing is designed to last forever.

What you guys have been doing for four years is looking for people who don't share your opinion to threaten and 'destroy their brands' (you have even started threatening foreigners with 'body bags'), but everything that has a beginning must have an end.

that means they were using Nigeria money to build their secretariat.... No free money to do that again, that is why it is abandoned.

Why should your report focuses on MOU rather than when the Project started. You know before 2012.. Obasanjo too sign MOU and even did flag off, but nothing was done on the project until 2017. You signed MOU and Project did not start, neither follow through on the funding. You report is one sided. You never provide a link to when the project flag off commenced. No single link...very shameful reporting


sorry, to jump in a little,

let me agree osibanjo flag it off, but have you asked yourself .

how can a project flagged off in 2017 is near completion in 2019

your answer determines , if I will repsone or not,

Before u ignorantly praise Jonathan for this project, let me lecture u briefly

Rail system in Nigeria was originally initiated and designed by OBJ but due to lack of funds he changed it from standard guage to narrow guage.

But when Yar'Adua took over he ordered the review of the project and insisted that it must be a standard guage. That review was concluded in late 2009 when he was sick.

When Jonathan took over in 2010, everything concerning the design was ready and all that was expected of him was to approve it and award it for work to commen e 9

Bar1941:


You used vanguard, Thisday, leadership and Daily trust newspaper as the sources of your information yet NO SINGLE LINK ON HOW TO SEE THIS NEWS FROM THOSE SOURCES, the only link you gave was from All African News (which look more like a blog than a reliable news paper), even in it, it was quoted the project suppose to commence in 2012 and completed in 2015 (36 months), yet NOTHING was done within the timeframe. If this story has anything to ponder on, I think it futher emphasised the level of corruption perpetrated under the last administration (ghost project). And for you, I think It's better you restrict yourself on the apolitical aspect of your auto interest/business rather than trying to put into it worthless political news from that jungle. Just an advice though.

Hellooo, go through the link below and explain to us what we need to know about the delay in commencement of the project

China to construct the Lagos-Calabar coastal railway line in Nigeria

https://constructionreviewonline.com/2017/07/china-to-construct-the-lagos-calabar-coastal-railway-line-in-nigeria/

Since you people don't know anything more than corruption, tell us what amount of corruption is delaying the project, give us something to ponder on.
