Ayo2004:
They can zone it to the North for the next century,just give us somebody that will work
Fighting for leaders from our tribes without caring if they will perform or not is the most stupid thing to do,Northerners are suffering the most from a Northern president,of what use is zoning to the south when the southern president will still be controlled by Northern cabals If we are going to elect a southern president,let it be because he is worthy not because he is from our states
Tribalism is taking us backwards as it has eaten deep into our society and also religious foolishness..a friend of mine made a bad decision and now it is affecting his business,now,he is spending huge sums of money on alfas,pastors and herbalists who give him all sort of water,sopa and other useless materials,now he believes it is his village people when in fact,it is his brain affecting him,many diverse situations like this is causing Nigeria to move backwards

But what do I know?I'm just a child so my opinion will probably not make sense to some "supposed" adults

somehow:
I am not juggling "fact", I am showing what other media outlets posted that differs from what thenation posted.

Maybe you can help us by posting supporting articles from other sources to back up the 2 billion per kilometer angle because it's just too ridiculous to believe such.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as “outrageous” the planned reconstruction of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano road at the cost of N797.23 billion.

In a statement on Sunday by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the opposition party said the cost of the project had “again exposed the multifaceted corruption in the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.”

Addressing Journalists at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday, the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, said the Council approved the change of scope for the construction of Abuja-Kaduna-Kano highway

The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved the complete reconstruction of the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano highway.

With the approval, the government changed the scope of work on the highway from the ongoing renovation to complete reconstruction.

It therefore increased the project cost from N155bn, earlier approved for renovation, to N797.2bn reconstruction cost.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of the weekly meeting of the council presided over by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

A Civil Society Organization (CSO), the Anti-Corruption Network, has called for further scrutiny of N797billion recently awarded as the cost of reconstruction of Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Road project to determine its actual cost

The Executive Secretary of the organization, Senator Dino Melaye, at a press briefing in Abuja, described the cost of the contract as outrageous saying the award of the 375-kilometer road at N797billion showed that a kilometer of the road would gulp a whooping N2.1billion for reconstruction.

He made reference to a report put out by World Bank which pegged the cost of constructing 1 kilometer of road at ₦238 million.

This figure, he said, is the benchmark that usually shouldn’t be surpassed regardless of several factors.

It's 450m per kilometer and not 2 billion naira as stated in your article.

somehow:
The Executive Secretary of the ACN, Senator Dino Melaye, told reporters at a press briefing in Abuja, that the project needed further scrutiny to determine its actual cost.?
ACN?
How reliable is this article?

Juliusmalema:
So you travelled all the way from Enugu to de-market owerri?

somehow:
BTW, where is it listed that the road was constructed for 2 billion naira per kilometer?

RuudVanNisteroy:
Nigeria is the most corrupt country in the world, even the devil is shocked and has disowned the country a long time ago. How can Redeemed Church of God execute a 8.2KM road at N22.9 million per KM and when they same contract is awarded by a state or federal goverment it is executed at prices ranging from N1-2.1 billion per KM.

There is no hope for this failed and fantastically corrupt nation. RCCG has just exposed the massive corruption that has been going on in road construction projects around the country, which despite being the most expensive per km in the world, have one of the worst qualities without streetlights,road signs,white or yellow lane markings,drainages, and are poor in quality and last a couple of months to a year.

First, they need to do away with their crude culture of seeing women as subhumans that should be confined to the kitchen and oza room, not to talk or have any say during family meetings..

Funny how these so called women from East go dumb to the attrocities of their people back home but turn to tigress and activists in foreign lands. Out of 10 Igbo women, hardly will you see 2 with proper education cos their parents see no reason to waste money on them. smh.

Wickedfacts:
That Yewa stretch is very important to the fulani expansionist agenda. Yewa is a border region with access to Republic of Benin. The fulanis hope to control that area to give them access to Republic of Benin.

Last year, Republic of Benin dealt seriously with fulani herdsmen, killed their cows and chased them out of the country, hence the herdsmen ran to Yewa area and started their nonsense there.

In the early 2000s, Buhari came to Oyo State and asked Lam Adesina the then Governor that "Why are your people killing my people". Lam blasted him and thoroughly scolded him. It is that same Buhari that the Ooni is going to meet because Fulanis were displaced in Oyo. You think Buhari doesn't know what he is doing?

Don't be deceived, all fulanis both high and low are aware this. Do you know that during the border closure, Yewa people were not allowed to move goods in and out of Benin Republic but Dangote and Rabiu, both Fulanis from Kano were given clearance by Buhari another fulani man to import goods from Benin Republic through the closed borders in Yewa.
What happened during the border closure and what is happening now is not mere coincidence.

The attacks are being coordinated at the highest level.

Here's a simple but effective way to make our online Biafra more appealing... CC: Nnamdi Kanu..

Introducing BITNATION - the world's first Decentralised Borderless Voluntary Nation.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/20/Bitnation_logo.svg/440px-Bitnation_logo.svg.png

Bitnation, or Cryptonation, is a "voluntary nation" that records vital records, identity and other legal events using blockchain technology. Bitnation was founded in 2014 using Ethereum smart contract technology. See more ^{www.nairaland.com/attachments/13249327_externallinkaltsolid_png8648541bff077cf12ea8b17dbf1b4fc0}

With Bitnation’s Pangea software, a Decentralized Opt-In Jurisdiction, citizens can create nations, join voluntary nations on the Ethereum blockchain, and conduct peer-to-peer negotiations.

ADVANTAGES OF BITNATION

1. Decentralization and true direct democracies (everyone can vote on every issue)..

2. Public records cannot be changed or manipulated...

3. Freedom to create your own nation.

4. Freedom to secede from or join any nation..

5. You have control of your data.

6. Fraud is reduced to the barest minimum. Anyone can verify who is who easily.

7. It builds trust in government.

8. And many more...

I hope my Biafran colleagues and Nnamdi Kanu will like this...

God bless Nigeria.

Spending123:
I remembered in 2013 when fuel was 87 naira Buhari with other Nigerians protested against Goodluck Jonathan, but today fuel is 215 under the same Buhari and no body will protest about it. Maybe we are contented with it like that.

what's the point of putting fuel price at #215, let them just put it at #250 so people can decide if they should buy energy drink and trek.

These randy dogs are on rampage in the core north.

This is what you get when you keep producing babies without plans to give them quality education and life.

This is what you get when you encourage your people to produce children like rabbits so that your voting power will increase.

This is what you get when tell your children to abandon secular education because of your foul hate for the Middle Belt and the entire South and Christianity.

This is what you get when you keep pushing half backed school leavers into key positions just because you believe it is your people that must be there even when they are empty.

Goodluck Jonathan tried to assist them by building almajiri schools and even offered them free chicken, rice and drinks as motivational packages but because they hate him as he's a Christian, they never let their children attend the schools.

Bunch of nasty people.

Johnnyplus01k:
That is one of the demerit of being woman loyalist all in the name of you don't want your home to break that's the result. If your woman quickly identify you as a man of women, no matter how stobborn she claimed to be she will pipe low or she leave, marry them plenty if not you won't die like a chicken and even though your death comes you will know that you are the course of it by .

wink2015:
You said it all.

I support your views.

Which ultimately mean that the late Tunde did not managed the situation very well.

Why kill oneself over a wife that commit adultery.

Basher8583:
You clearly don't mean well for this country you this 5%er.
No be wetin you want be dis! Yet you still dey confused.
Herdsmen, Bandits, ESN any Fvcking person with illegal possession of any weapon should be shot. enough is enough.

authority2006:
The typical problem with most Nigerians. So u know ESN too dey carry and terrorise people with AK47 when all of you dey cry that Fulani herdsmen carry AK47 around. This is similar to when he ordered shoot at sight on anybody who snatches ballot boxes. That order also came when you accused him of planning to rig his election. Mad people everywhere
