nku5: This is about 1km from the new platform I posted. I got talking to a chinese engineer who hinted that the tracks on top are for the abuja-lagos line while the lower tracks are to run from abuja-kaduna.

They need to speed up the work sha. Do you have any idea of the timeframe for completion?

payless: She is Co-President ala "Office of the First Lady"

flexya: This act of Tambuwa is actually a plus for PDP cos it shows that within its ranks, r members that can rise above partisan politics and commend good work. GEJ also did commend Fashola recently. Its sad that no such member exist amongst the opposition except for those that have served their apprenticeship in pdp eg Elrufai, Ribadu, who have also been gaged in recent times by ACN/CPC blood in manners which prevent them from commendin good work amongst pdp office holders. Perhaps there is nothin/no one good in pdp but yet, the same opposition keeps seeking its presidential candidate [ie their leader] from pdp. It was Atiku in 2007, Ribadu in 2011 and perhaps Tambuwa or Lamido in 2015. Thats like sayin " Nigerians, herein lies Gods paradise, but we have brought our leader from Satans kingdom". Wake up nijja. A devil u know!

bloggernaija: The terrorist kidnapped people in Abuja , bombed the UN building,almost assassinated the inspector general of police ,over-ran a whole region ,almost assassainated a whole emir of Kano and you think anywhere in the country is safe?
Unlike others, I will advise you to read the US travel advisory on nigeria.

SUMMARY-UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, AVOID ALL BUT ESSENTIAL TRAVEL FULL STOP

solomon111: On one hand you say you detest PDP,and on the other hand you are praising OBJ, a PDP president,who was regarded by all and sundry as a collosal failure.
A man under whose tenure the SE was brutally marginalized.
You're a bloody fraud madam,and you know it.

nku5: See the one coming up behind my house at Wuye. This is just the platform for boarding. The actual station is going to be built behind it.

Sincere 9gerian: I know you as an intelligent poster on this forum, notwithstanding your affinity for ACN. However, it appears your hatred for GEJ is causing some intellectual depreciation in your system.

The facts in this matter is established in the President Jonathan's 2012 Democracy Day broadcast. Read:

"Our cassava policy is working, as we accelerate the pace of utilization of cassava to create markets for millions of our farmers. Our goal is a bold one: we will make Nigeria, which is the largest producer of cassava in the world, to also become the LARGEST PROCESSOR of high value cassava products in the world....To further encourage cassava utilization and value-added products, government will support corporate bakers and master bakers across the country to use high quality cassava flour for baking. Last year I announced an increase in tariff and levy on wheat. To encourage the cassava flour inclusion policy, I now direct that part of the levy and tariff on wheat be set aside to support the promotion of high quality cassava flour and composite cassava bread.This will include support for needed enzymes, technical training and equipment for corporate bakers and master bakers, as well as accelerated cassava production.....We have also secured markets for cassava outside Nigeria, and FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, Nigeria will export this year 1 million metric tons of dried cassava chips to China. This will earn Nigeria 136 million US dollars in foreign exchange. Last week we also successfully started the commercial use of feed grade cassava grits, produced locally, for use in our poultry industry...."- President Jonathan, May 29, 2012

KwoiZabo: This is a road in the south-west Obasanjo did nothing. Yar'adua told us to fix federal roads it must be through PPP & gave this road to bi-courtney but our amiable president revoked it and is fixing all the federal roads in this country from the FG's purse. What more can we ask for? Is this not Fresh air?

Donmams: Mumu. What did they mean by anyone who doesnt support GEJ is a sell out to the north? Park well jare

PapaBrowne: Nice. I've always wished for Julius Berger to handle that road. At least they have the experience and the capcity. They would take 8 years to construct a 51km road like LCC is doing on Lekki- Epe.

With the rate of road construction currently going on in the country, looks like Nigerians would be able to enjoy a jolly free ride anytime they are on the highway.

The list of major road construction by the FG is endless and none is being abandoned.

Abuja-Benin.(Dualised)
Benin- Lagos(a now wonderful driving experience)
East- West Road
Lagos- Ibadan
Kano- Maiduguri
Port Harcourt- Enugu
Enugu- Onitsha

These are just the few I've been on recently.

You wonder what previous governments were doing. In just 2 years we get all this. May God bless the executioners.

Hamazz1: sometimes I Get ultra perplexed when I hear pple mention Gej r they not tired of d insecurity or don't hey no that Gej is d chief security officer of Nigeria.30m out of schl children.soaring unemployment economic deprivation name it n yet u mention Gej.what have d so called middle belt benefited from this administration.even d militant in his region r threatening going bk to d creeks.please nigerians hv had enough dose of PDP n Gej.

PointB: Obj introduced cassava bread?

Sincere 9gerian: ** Nigerian farmers happy over increased price of cassava- farmers’ leader


The price of cassava has more than doubled.

The increase in the price of cassava tubers has impacted positively on farmers, David Ogunsade, the Chairman of Cassava Growers Association in Osun, has said.

Mr. Ogunsade, who is also the Southwest Chairman of the association, said at Imesi-Ile in Obokun Local Government Area on Thursday, that the development had paved way for growers of the product to make impressive gains in six months.

He said the development had changed the fortunes of cassava farmers and allowed them access funds for the expansion of their farms; acquire inputs and other incentives for farm management. He said that farmers in the state sold no fewer than 35,000 tonnes of cassava tubers from January to date, adding that one tone of cassava tuber now goes for N25, 000 compared to N10, 000 in 2012.

“The greater demand for cassava tubers by local industries coupled with high demand for cassava chips outside the country is responsible for the price increase.

“What is happening now is an opportunity for able-bodied Nigerians, irrespective of status, to invest in the sector so as to increase production and meet both national and international demand.

“Investment in the sector is lucrative with no risk,” he said.

He further said that farmers had started receiving fertilisers at subsidised rate under the Growth Enhancement Scheme (GES) of the Federal Government.

“Also, each of the registered farmers across the state has received 20 kg of treated maize and rice for planting freely under the scheme,” he said.

He appealed to beneficiaries to plant and maintain their farms properly, so as to have bumper harvest at the end of the season.
