The reason people prefer Lagos ports has more to do with the people in the eastern coasts.

The coasts of the south south is very insecure and volatile

This is FALSE

An importer told me that it is likely to get a ship going to Lagos more than anywhere else in Nigeria. The same applies to Murtala Mohammed Airport, Ikeja. So, it's an issue of availability and patronage.

If you have been privileged to patrol the Niger Delta waters like I have, you will notice the heavy presence of naval police every inch of the way.

Besides, if the Delta has a major challenge of piracy, then I don't think offshore oil drilling will still be going on in the region.

Only a handful of rail lines? Is that the why Nigerians elected him?

Was it even among his campaign promises?

The list is too plenty those are the ones am sure of.

Like I said Buhari could act like obasanjo and Gej and decide to chop all the money and nothing will happen

SocialJustice:
What is the economic importance of linking Port Harcourt to Maiduguri? Why not take that $3b to complete rail transport in Lagos.

Oboy! People de this world sha! Jesus!!

Do u know how much those offshore oil rigs pay as security, reason y they don't feel it is cause oil money has high profit margins.

Just the other day in rivers state bonny gun men from the sea stormed a wedding kidnapped people and drove back into the sea, we even heard yesterday that militancy has started in calabar again. The list goes on

Abuja to port Harcourt is good, Abuja to Lagos is okay, Abuja to the east is fine cause Abuja is the Centre of Nigeria but Maiduguri?

I don't get the rationale behind it.

By now, it should be obvious to all Nigerians that this Buhari is a "Tribesman-Idiotic" (no pun intended).
This Project is a SCAM to divert attention away from the $2Billion, Fed. Govt fuly funded Rail like from Kano to Niger Republic!

A few Questions for our Tribesman President to answer:

- Must all Rail lines end in the North?

- There is a pending[b] Calabar-Ibadan Rail line, which will pass through all the Eastern States, all the South/South states, Delta and Porthacourt inlcusive. Why is that Route not being built now, since it can link the Lagos-Ibadan Line?[/b]

- If the Calabar-Ibadan Line is BUILT FIRST, does it not make sense to then link it to Maiduguri, from PortHarcourt, instead of just starting from Portharcourt, to Maiduguri, without the other oarts from Calabar-Ibadan line?

- Is Buhari the Tribesman just making us notice that he is only interested in evacuating Crude Oil from the South/South to the North, hence this PH-Maiduguri line and not the ecnomic welfare of the peopel of Southern Nigeria?

- Why is it that almost all the infratsructural development in the South is always DIFFICULT TO FUND by the Fed Govt, while those in the North get EASILY FUNDED by the fed Govt?
Even the few ones that the fed Govt decides to fund, Buhari will ensure that the money is not released as at when due. The Lagos-Ibadan Express Road, the Lagos-Ibadan Rail line are prime examples.
PROJECTS IN THE NORTH WILL TAKE TWO YEARS TO COMPLETE WHILE THOSE INTHE SOUTH ARE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN 7YRS, DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS?

- How is it that it is Roads and Rails in the South of Nigeria that gets funded by PPP, with the implication of massive Tolling on such Roads and High Ticket fee on such Rail line, as the Investors have to recoup their money back? How come the Rail and Roads in the North dont get tolled like those in the South, if not for the Nepotism of the "Idiotic Tribesman" we elected into ofiice?

ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD and BURIED by Buhari, you can take that to the bank.

Southern Nigerians should not be fooled by this Portharcout-Maiduguri Rail decoy.
Amaechi is just an errand boy fo the Fulani Cabal and he says what he is asked to say.

It is already in existence but needs reconstruction and rehabilitation

I know it is, my question is what is the economic importance compared to Lagos? Lagosians deserve the right to live without traffic. If traffic is solved in Lagos, it will make the place a lot more better to live.

chegbe1104:


Why not ask governor Wike which investment he attracted to River State when he was education Minister under government of GEJ?

Correction; he was minister of state of education. And your arguement holds no water.

Warm regards.

Let's manage what we have seen, its same narrow guage that connects both north and south, north no complain y we want complain?

Why must we manage when we can do better...the Lagos _ Ibadan rail line was formally narrow gauge but upgraded to standard gauge and it is to transverse all the way to Kano eventually...why the fvck will they insist on maintaining the old narrow gauge that is limited by speed on which the coaches can cruise...at a time when the world is going on high speed trains and phasing out the old guage rails suited for the sluggish moving locomotives.

Infact I'm disappointed at you for posting that.

Google ir, its there for all to see.

What wike said is true.

Even right now if u are traveling to Lagos the only portion of east west road thats good is the part from ore, one by fashola. Lagos Ibadan expressway reason y its taking time is cause is high quality work they are doing same fashola.

But amaechi couldn't do one for his state

Why not compare their achievements in rivers state, I swear wike no reach

My own concern na insecurity

Make Boko and bandit no enter

tamdun:

Wike agree, but wike has released his own achievements as minister for his state, that was why he wanted Amaechi to do same

Have you removed Maiduguri from the map of Nigeria? 99% of Maiduguri residents are peace loving.

After more than three decades delay, President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday inaugurated the 326 KM Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri rail line for commercial operation as well as the ancillary facilities yard at the recently named Goodluck Jonathan Railway Complex in Agbor (Owa-Oyibu), Delta State.

At the virtual opening of the rail line linking Itakpe to Warri, President Buhari directed the Federal Ministry of Transportation to link all the nation’s ports of origin and destination – Apapa, Tin Can, Warri, Onne, Calabar Ports – to the rail network in order to significantly improve overall transportation and economic capacities.



I think all the rail projects will connect at a point

Now ask yourself who oil the hands of these millitants

Take it or leave it these oil companies are corrupt as fu*k notably SHELL.

Do you know who this millitancy came about ? I'm a Niger Deltan we know these people.

If you know the things these so-called investors are doing in the region even the corrupt chiefs and Kings are not helping matters.

Half bread is better than none, its better we see narrow than we no see at all.

For Amaechi who is from rivers state to accept this why he did standard in Lagos, do u know whether the powers didnt have us in mind, do u know what amaechi had to do just for them to approve it for his state?

This government main ambitions and worries are railways, yet, the lagos-Ibadan Railway project they started many years ago is yet to be completed, now, they want to spend over a Trillion Naira on a project that will never be completed



Thunder go Faya FG, Thunder go Faya Zombies

You are such a DINGBAT!!!

The Lagos-Ibadan railroad is COMPLETED!!!..100%..

What's remaining is the stations..about 3 out of 16 is remaining...

You are BLOODY EMPTY upstairs..

we gotta run the Operation in DUO! you can't imagine how much have wished to have that power of bombing all of then in there best be in that their national assemby shit

when all those agbada useless leaders are doing nothing but planing to siphon national treasury

It's a waste instead do from maiduguri to Lagos

...Funny how you resorted to insults.
They only approved that money after Wike blasted Amechi over the construction of rail lines to Niger Republic and asked him to mention his achievements in Rivers state since he became a minister.
You are free to throw more insults but I won't reply back with same manner.
Thank you sir.

So much ignorance displayed on a single thread. This should break the world record!

Nyanabo:


I then wonder the 'outside Nigeria' you have been to with this your statement.

Trains till tomorrow remains the cheapest and cost efficient means of transportation both for people and goods. Even developed countries with the best of roads network also have railway lines within the country & linking them to other countries .

But can the politicians in nigeria deliver their audiof promise despite the billions they approve for the construction ?

Smh

I wasn't referring to trains as a whole seems it's hard for you to comprehend?

I said we don't need a link bye ph and maiduguri

Simple !!! Link it to Lagos and instead repair all the federal roads linking south to north

Make them concrete casting and even a 300 tonne submarine won't damage them

You need to leave Nigeria and see how things are done

Fantastic project.

Every igbo man should support this .

Linking Bonny port to PH to aba to owerri is great!!


Anything to decongest Lagos is accepted by me.

It’s safer than shipping from Bonny to onitsha through river niger as insurance people won’t insure through that route .
