1. Nigeria’s Gross domestic Product rose to $503 billion in 2013 and became Africa’s largest economy and 26th in the world; from 3rd and 4th respectively.

2. Nigeria became the number one destination for Foreign Direct Investment in Africa under former President Jonathan, with the numbers rising from $24.9 million as at 2007 to over $35 billion in 2014.

3. Jonathan Government delivered over 25,000 kilometres of motorable federal roads from just a quarter of that number in 2011.

4. The Jonathan Administration resuscitated the railways in the country after about 30-years of hiatus. This is the reason Buhari had to name a road after Goodluck!

5. Jonathan’s Agricultural Transformation Agenda ended fertilizer racketeering, encouraged more young Nigerians to take to farming, boosted local food production and took the country closer to self-sufficiency in food production by recording more than 50% reduction in food imports. It was as a result of this that the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations, for the first time, voted Nigeria the largest producer of Cassava in the world.

6. Power generation under Jonathan was boosted to about 5,000 megawatts in 2014 up from 2,000 megawatts in 2011.

7. Prices of food and other household items remained stable and inflationary pressure was down to a single digit.

8. Under Jonathan, Nigeria controlled clinically Ebola outbreak to the admiration of the whole world, became Guinea-worm-free and also eradicated polio, with United States billionaire and renowned philanthropist Bill Gates, praising Nigeria’s successes against polio as one of the great world achievements of 2014. Sadly polio has returned to the country with the likes of Shettima in charge of the endemic states.


Can you please name the Achievements of your lord and saviour Buhari and Contrast it with GEJ. Cheers
Oga lie small small which roads? Is the same road we have been complaining of that is nothing tto to write home about? no just talk or paste anything.. You see no 1, 3,4 and 5 na lie abeg just remove them

This project was initiated by the GEJ admin. A lot of projects initiated by this admin will be completed by the next.

Even OBJ made massive investment in the rail sector. You're clueless about how governance works. Pls dont quote me anymore. Thanks.
You mean jona traveled back 30 years ago to initiate the project that the same jona and his PDP looters didn't even touch for 16 years?


What is wrong with you people?

Must yo lie and scheme 419 tales?


OBJ awarded contract for Lagos Ibadan Railway and abandoned it

Jona re awarded the contract and also abandoned the project

Meaning the project sat on the drawing board for 1 years, but PMB started and almost completed the project in less than 4 years.

Who is miss-educating you jona and ipob people?

Amaechi is not trying to right any wrong. He did Jonathan no wrong. Naming a train station completed by Buhari after Jonathan is more like an insult than a honour. He had the opportunity to complete some of these projects but bungled his chances.

Again, Jonathan did not make any meaningful investment in the railway sector. Apart from the Abuja - Kaduna standard gauge that he started without completing, what else did he do in the sector?
He did nothing yet Buhari deemed it fit to name the station after him.

Even certificateless Buhari could think better than you.

You are a waste.

seunmsg is just a bigoted charlatan, I use to admire his constructive posts back then, but he has now derailed off point and now talk like an hypocrite. No much difference b/w him and that MUMURIC guy. It's a shame.

@Topic that Itakpe-Warri railway was conceived pre-1999 because of the functional Steel companies back then. It was designed originally for the transportation of iron ore and other heavy minerals from Itakpe to Delta steel company in Warri, but Obasanjo started the real construction with Julius Berger after he became civilian President. Obj left it at about 30% completion with flyovers constructed across major expressways for rail tracks to pass.
GEJ government settled several Court cases on land compensation which Obj left behind, and took the project to 80% completion.
Buhari government brought in Chinese to continue the construction and also add Passenger/commuter use to the original purpose of Cargo use.

This is just a brief summary of what has been going on. Are you not surprised that the rail didn't come directly to Abuja despite being a lucrative transport route.
The answer is Abuja was not incorporated into the original design because the rail was original not meant for passengers but transportation of iron ore and other heavy raw materials.

The two Presidents and Rotimi Amaechi are busy mending their relationships and setting matters while we are here cursing them and abusing ourselves in the name of political party.

The project was not intitiated by the GEJ regime. It was first talked about by the Shagari Administration in the early 1980s.

It was started by the Babangida Administration in 1987. They laid the tracks, but the tracks were from nowhere to no where. Then it was abandoned.

It was talked about by both the Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan administrations.

It has been continued by the Buhari Administration and hopefully they will complete it.

The original purpose of the rail line was to take iron ore from Itakpe and steel from Ajaokuta to the port in Warri, but the Buhari Administration has decided to extend the rail line to Abuja.
very correct senior man

One of the many reasons why Ajaokuta failed.

Not constructing the rail system to transport needed raw materials to the plant is like building a airport without runway.

Collective governments before PMB were useless and just criminal.
