68816419: Ok, The introduction of Lagos Integrated Rail Transport System will reduce considerably, the amount of traffic on the road at any given time, thereby reducing drastically the constant traffic congestion on the roads because they are very convenient and comfortable to travel on. Since they are cheaper than regular commercial buses, taxis or driving a private car, people naturally would prefer to travel in them. They are also faster than other forms of road transportation. This would be a welcome relief to those with car, LRT has an exclusive right of way hence the issue of traffic congestion is completely ruled out. Since it’s six times faster than the automobile or regular commercial bus, passengers would reach their destination and back in little or no time. For instance, Lagos BRT system Ikorodu and Mile 12 have Some positive impacts
68816419: Kano-Kaduna Railway to be completed in 2022 and operations to be active by December as Federal Govt disburses $400m for the 284km project with 15 stations (Not loan) . The initial single-lane construction plan has also been changed to become a dual carriageway, and we also have the
And we also have the FG 375km Dualization and reconstruction of Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano road project will also be completed in the 2023 , No nation in Africa is massively investing in Infrastructures as Nigeria : FACT!
68816419: wailing is allowed , any way, check out the update on Lagos light rail system(blue and red lines) , the rail system is integrated with BRT and ferry system and all are to be completed this year and when completed , it will be the most integrated transport system in Africa.
Each time I pass this locations I can tell that this project is right on course. So massive but very little noise from our side unlike that overhype flyover somewhere in Kenya.
These kind of hell hole cities dont have sufficient supply of quality office, houses or hotels - because few people want to invest in a hell hole - so they remain undeveloped.
Pls don’t be stupid this year.Abuja has the think you listed above.
rvp2018: I have no problem with you I just don't believe the stats from Nigeria's Stat office. They are just implausible. It just crazy to come up with stats that says Nigeria has better agri sector than US or Brazil.
As of late last year Abuja markets and health centres didn't have toilets and you wonder why I call it a Potemkin city? Tbh,I'm being kind not showing you the effects of the toilet situation. You must be retarded pretending this place can house 700k LET ALONE 1 M decently.
Noise pls.get yourself a Potemkin city like this. So Marvellous.
rvp2018: Imagine when you final diversity your oil powered economy and revive agriculture - improving productivity by factor of 5 - you beat China and India despite being only 10 percent of their landmass
Pure magic. Vodoo! In kenya we respect the power of witchcraft from Igboland
Below can only be as result of witchcraft.
You are right we will beat china and India if we focus and grow the agro sector in about a decade. Already US,and Brazil have seen dust. so much potentials here man.
Shma: I don't care where he grew. He's a Kenyan by DNA - he has a Kenya brain - this is what we're talking about.
He has a Kenya brain and not an American brain. New flash!!! American brain is more superior to your third world kenyan brain that has added to the civilization,invention and scientific advancement of the world. Go figure idiot.
rvp2018: You're only 4 times more populated than Kenya - with twice the land size - and mostly arable. That tell you in kenya we live in more densely populated areas - with about 2/3 of the country sparely populated.
Keep in agricluture. How can you explain Nigeria being top here?
What is the trick?
How did you do it? I mean people go to Brazil for lesson on tropical farming - you're like an hidden gem of success of agriclutural revolution
rvp2018: That is what Nigeria is telling everyone. Bigger than Brazil. Bigger than US. Almost equal to all the 28 EU nations plus Britain. All the food is eaten within Nigeria. Nobody has ever seen any ship exporting food. They also are world biggest importers of food.
You can imagine their appetite for all things food
If the world says we have bigger Afro sector than US and Brazil then we truly have.that on period,fact can never be a substitute for emotions.
rvp2018: Mostly in OIL & GAS sector - that is just only FDI you'll see and it's only functional part of your economy. Fintech maybe - and Tech companies throwing money to Africa now.
2020 did in non oil sector was more than oil sector.go figure idiot.
rvp2018: Nobody is deceived except Nigeria. Otherwise you would see FDI flowing to Nigeria. Nobody believe Africa statistics like those. They do their maths. Those that believe Nigeria should ask VW - they sold only 32 cars in a year
They go to Egypt and South Africa - and they see a developing country - and they visit, invest and want to live in such a country.
Kenya has 10-15yrs to reach there - but they can see the promise .
Deceive yourself with giant stories of Africa - nobody outside Nigeria will take such figures seriously - unless they are also foolish.
Conspiracy theories,no credible evidence.this is 2022,no time for that.
rvp2018: IMF and WB DO NOT - I repeat DO NOT - estimate the GDP of a country. It's country statistics office who do that job. IMF or WB can offer technical assistances or disclaimers but it's general country politician to count and inflate the figures - if they want to.
IMF/WB has exposed so many cooked stats from various countries.Why haven’t they done that to Nigeria? Are they afraid of Nigeria?
rvp2018: Real development should match GDP figures. GDP should explain the development. Not the other way round. That development should be visible to the naked eye. If you go to a developed country or see a video - you dont need GDP figures to know it's developed - you will see it on the streets - right from the airport - to the roads - to buildings - to the cars - to the people - the enviroment - you'll know this country is doing great. You will see well tendered farms - with healthy looking animals and crops. You will see thriving industries. You will see great hotels and resorts.
South Africa figures are solid. Egypt figures are solid. Nigeria is horse manure.
Kenya is horse manure.have you seen Morocco and Algerian cities?
Shma: Dumbo. You went mute when I dropped that simple question to you, Stop pretending that you know something, you don't.
And I clearly said this, "a country's economy should reflect on the ground." Egypt for instance is showing more dynamics in infrastructure prowess - the poverty rate in Egypt is incomparable to Nigeria - one of the biggest poverty capital in the world. SA infrastructur is on another level.
Back to your silliness. You just proved that Nigeria's data are cooked. Lagos which has a bigger economy than Morocco can't even smell rabat, talkless of Casablanca.
Quit dodging and foaming in the mouth.one at at time. Can you tell us why e No Kenya city can compete with Morocco fifth tier city.Morocco has more than 5 world class city on thesame level with Europe while has just 1 third world city.big difference.
rvp2018: What hell is 5000 dollars support to 1000 business. This is just typical Nigerian grandiosness (sp). Why not concentrate that little money on his village poverty.
Why did your poverty chap go all the way to Abuja and Lagos if it was so paltry. Your country sponsored their trip to get this paltry funds.
Tony elumelu owns the United Bank for Africa and Heirs holdings, both headquartered in Nigeria.
Big brother with a big GDP.
I remember talking about this 2018,2019. Kenyans and the ret of Africa swim to Nigeria (Lagos and Abuja) to beg start up funding from this guy annually. Now that shows our influence and dominance.
Shma: Domestic savings and foreign investment are the key drivers of china economy, It's evidently clear even on the ground. Population doesn't largely influence economic growth on developed countries more than it does to developing countries.
Olodo I have told you to avoid economics like a plague.See you confusing and contradicting yourself. For starters china is not a developed country but a developing country like Africa .Her gdp per capita should be slightly higher than those of SA,Namibia and the likes.
