is bubu alright

I don’t think so.

Infact, I think buhari wants to subsidize Niger republic with Nigerian wealth.

He wants to link Niger republic into Nigerian commerce and bring them out of chronic poverty to an extent.

It is like what happens between the south and north but on an international scale.

It is brilliant. Unpatriotic but brilliant.

Easternmind:
Please I've not heard of or seen anything in the south east,when they start agitating they start killing them and typing bunkum on Nairaland.
Can anyone please tell me why this has not been done in the SE yet I need answers

can you tell us why a bridge like the second Niger bridge is not built in the North? Just answer that question then I judge the capacity of your brain.

how is inviting and incuring $2 billion debt brilliant

This is absurd ...God !!

It is not. It will link Niger Republic to Lagos ports and increase revenue from customs duties. It is more viable than wasting money building rail lines to the five gully erosion ravaged states that will end up swallowed by big gullies.

U are an imp

Nitwit.

The cost of some roads projects in the north is more than the Niger bridge.

Dont worry, if you can create a big body of water separating North west from the south, I assure you the bridge would be built in 6 months.

But since, there is no need for a Niger bridge in the north, shut up, and stop exposing your illiteracy.

Niger bridge has turned to everything for some people.

DexterousOne:




You see why the Sputh East leaders are foolish?

What stops the south eastern leaders to mobilise the youth against this mess going on?

Instead they are all aloof and plotting to destroy each other

Worst political leaders

do you know how much was approved for second niger bridge? Why are you waiting for for your leaders to mobilize youth? You can mobilize yourself nah so we can use some Igbos for Target practice.

If it wasn't clear before that Buhari has more affinity with his kith and kin in Maradi, Niger Republic, this is another proof.

He is taking $1.9 billion chinese loan to construct rail line to a poor landlocked country where his ancenstral home is. The rest of the country will be saddled with the pain of repaying this loan for generations to come. You can now understand why officials from Maradi came to campaign with him during the last election.

What is the economic value of Maradi to Nigeria, when there is no rail link between Aba-Port Harcourt-Benin-Lagos? When will Southerners wake up and remove the scales from thier eyes?

The 24hr electricity Niger republic is getting from PHCN they are not paying a kobo for it. What kind of country is this?

Chino4NAUTH:

We have no problem.. Face your worthless useless terrorist infested region

hate will get you nowhere in life., if my region is infested what are all of you doing here? why does nobody go to your region?

RTSC:

I guess igbos dont pay taxes.

Only those that voted for buhari contribute to the economy.

I mean those people in katsina, Niger republic, zamfara that have contributed immeasurably both in human and capital resources to thr Nigerian economy.

Asking if igbos are more important than foreigners from Niger republic.

Nitwit

Igbos are not more important than any other Nigerian.

By the way, you spent 16 years supporting PDP.
What did you get?

baralatie:

let me star with mambilla which cost $5.8 billion. the total power expected is 3050 Mw.
egbin is 1320Kw and it will cost you $650 million dollars.if you get 3 egbin power stations you will have 3960 MW at a total cost of $1.95 billion (you have $3 billion left)

now left face this $1.95billion rail link to Niger!
Nigeria is not buying the raw materials in Niger to refine/reform/to service it's own industries.Niger is the country that needs a link to a port.it is the foreign countries that want to access the cheap labour and raw materials in Niger.Already Nigeria has signed up as a member of Africa free trade zone(zero negligible tariffs)$1.95 is to link your rail infrastructure which is allegedly connected to Lagos port.NRC runs a subsidy regime for rail transport.That means that Nigeria engaged in a $2 billion debt to service Niger's exports while gaining nothing

Egbin is a gas power station while mambilla is hydro power.
Both Nigeria and Niger have a lot to gain from the rail project, and I believe there is a bilateral agreement on it.

Why must Nigeria take huge loans to finance the section that terminates at Buhari's ancenstral home in Maradi? Why can't Niger Republic finance the section that runs through thier own country?

Rosskii:


Use your fcking head. The line runs through Nigeria 99.9% and only happens to terminate at a stop in Niger.

Are you aware there are intra-continental rail network lines outlined by the AU which should see every African nation connected by rail by 2040 or thereabouts?

This is what happens when you dumb idiots don't read or research anything, and only limit yourselves to useless and stupid ethnic battles and hatred.

Niger bridge has turned to everything for some people.

you are in your village think the North don't have water bodies. Federal government spend money on Niger bridge and you don't want them to spend for other people, are you the only people living in Nigeria?
The most important thing in the South East is the Niger bridge while the most important thing to the northerners is railway.

Is there any region in southern Nigerian that is not afflicted with hordes of northerners?.

The part in bold is absolute nonsense. Egbin thermal power station was build in the 80’s so how you came about the current cost of building the plant is a mystery.

Even if I accept your price as an accurate reflection of current realities, your argument still doesn’t make sense because mambilla is a hydro dam project and Egbin is a gas powered project. How many of the gas powered plant that Obasanjo and Jonathan build are operating today?

In case you don’t know, it’s extremely silly for any country to rely on a single source of power generation. Most countries have a basket of power generating options that include hydro, solar, gas, coal and nuclear plant. Nigeria adopted a similar policy under Fashola.

So you see, saying we should keep building only gas plant that get shut down by inadequate gas supply or even outright pipeline explosion or bombing makes no sense. We must develop all available options. Hydro dam are even far more reliable than the gas plants.

What did PDP give you for 16 years?

Shameless people.

All these people are from Niger Republic, Mali etc.

The next will be linking Mali to Nigeria with rail line while we continue suffering from the bad terrible worst roads in Africa.

Chino4NAUTH:

Actually the bandits, terrorists and kidnappers own the north... The God of Israel owns the east

The North own every flat head. If them do anyhow, we send them out of the Yeast.

Golan007:

I guess Nigerians like the ones in maradi?

When igbos was supporting pdp, all the pdp presidents were from igboland.
The only states pdp won since 1999 were from the south east and south south.

Don't quote me again.
