manny4life: Please, I'm totally lost. Can someone explain how the Manitoba company will handle the Transmission, I mean are they responsible for the upgrades of transmission... aka will they be providing the funds or the govt is and they are just managing? I mean, how is the structure because I'm totally confused.

Any VALID opinion without hurling insults will suffice...

pastie: 'Ok' i don hear.


For all i want is constant electricity.

gboss4sure: No country's police is the best, what happened in CT was a security lapse and its clear.

linearity: The US constitution allow citizen to keep and bear arms, Police can do nothing about it.

Police are there to police illegal activities, owning, keeping or bearing arms is not illegal but each State have their various gun control laws, like background checks, licensing, registration, limitation on where to use it, conceal carry-on, etc.

If a Police stops me, in my State; am not obligated to tell them that am carrying a gun. However, if they want to search my person or my car, which I can refuse except they find a probable cause...if they find a gun during the search, all I have to do is to show them my gun permit and I will be on my way.

Lordave: I thought they said their police is one of the bests in the world?
If their police are actually performing well, why should civilians be allowed to get armed?

duality: now you see nairalanders?
making light the situation. some are even commending obama for weeping. no one is actually seeing the huge security laps. people are downplaying this fact, that any body can get killed in the streets of America. If this happened in Nigeria, People will insult the president and accuse him of being responsible. no one is seeing how insecure the world is turning out to be.

the comments here underscores how insincere and hypocritical Nigerians are.

karl max: Under the military rule and obJ 8 years of waste here is what the NRC chairman had to say about NRC

Sijuwade disclosed "that the present management inherited a railway system almost in comatose state with dilapidated facilities, demoralised and depleted workforce and frustrated pensioners.
Highlighting other challenges encountered and efforts put in to revive the moribund corporation, the NRC boss said: “We met shortfall in budget for salaries, insufficient rolling stock and locos, single track and cape gauge (1067 mm), obsolete machinery and workshop equipment, paucity of fund for training, porosity of rail corridors and accessibly to link rail to airport and seaport.


But under the leader ship of GEJ this is what he has to say


“But today, the status of the corporation has improved significantly from comatose state to that of a functional rail system. With the Federal Government intervention in providing fund and political will couple with the corporation commitment to seeing the railway lines work again, the Lagos to Jebba rail tracks axis has been rehabilitated by CCECC, and the train operations has been resumed, while that of the Jebba to Kano is near completion. In the same vein, the Federal Government has awarded the rehabilitation of the rail tracks from Port Harcourt to Makurdi covering 463km for a period of 10 months.


Kudos to GEJ our rail lines would soon be operational and haters would as usual hide their head in shame

wales: Giant of africa indeed. Niger Republic did it seamlessly while some of the politicians in abuja have refineries outside nigeria

bigass: I don't care whether the post is true or not but I support this. Let anarchy reign. Then fashola will know people are not smiling. How can you ban okada in a place like Lagos. They pride themselves as having a population of 18million
But not ready to provide infrastructure to support the huge population.

ypzilanti: Na today we begin hear of railway? All governments claim to want to revive railways since its death during IBB's regime. Abacha brought china people over and gave them contract...ever since all the governments come with thier own rigmarole.

The rail system currently in use in Nigeria is obsolete. What government should do is lease out the rail tracks and stations to a private company for 20 years. End of story...they will make money from the lease, and not have to spend a penny except pay off the workers...with the lease money.
