sheyie2007: Just curious, are igbos not Nigerians?

Uncanny Genius: If true. Kudos to the ladies. We Igbos are the best in everything we do. We are born geniuses. If it's lie then April Fool!!!!!! But Igbos are the Best. Ndi Igbo kwenu!!!!

Tony Spike: I believe Igbos are semi-bantuoid. I wouldn't subcribe to them being full Bantus. The Igbo language seem to have certain features of modern Bantu language, although not easily recognized. I hope researchers investigate this coincidence. Besides, I've postulated here on Nairaland that the ancestors of Igbos, Yorubas and Igalas were once part of the powerful Nilotic nation in modern day South Sudan pre-500 BC.

oily-Yoruba:
This is the most du.mb comment ever. Mr edo man masquerading as Igbo, be proud of your edo lineage and stop pretending to be what you're not. Peter Obi is by far above your empty and loud-mouthed governor.

thelastPope: You are getting things mixed up. Rail tracks takes years to build not months. America has been developing their rail system for like centuries. What the FG is doing is simple. short term and long term strategy. The short term strategy is clearly to get the tracks already on the ground working again. Then add some coaches to make is better. The long term is to build new standard tracks. It is a simple strategy and is the right thing to do. It will make no sense to abandon the current tracks and start to build new tracks that will take years to build. Lagos-Kano standard gauge project is ongoing with its first phase, Lagos Ibadan standard gauge, already in progress. The feasibility studies for five new electric tracks has started and is expected to be concluded in July. Then work will start. Dont forget these projects cost a lot of money and it isnt easy to source funds for it. It is not beans

Omo_Tier1: Same reasons for over 14years running, the PDP led government have continued to see you lots as idiots whose sensibility can be toiled with and they will still continue to walk around like saints.
Ever asked yourself why these same politicians , when it comes to doing anything for themselves the always go for the best the world has to offer? Think Atiku, His university offers such a standard of biking and abilities that very few universities in boast off and is comparable to much of what you find in western world, yet you wonder why they can't provide such as a standard for our universities in general.

No one is asking the FG for MAGLEVs, or GTVs overnight, but like the saying goes, the way a man greets His neighbour r in the morning tells how far His ay will go.

The time for Nigeria to do things because WE JUST WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING GOING has come and gone! Now really is the time for Nigeria to things because it is the best we can offer and it will last decades and those yet unborn will be appreciative that yes, this generation of leaders did such in their time.

Lets top celebrating mediocrity and demand for the best. Nigeria has the money, the people and resources to have the best going for Her people.

Louis007: Mod! Abeg front page jhooooor...lol

Omo_Tier1: This is like a man who has money to build a modern concrete house yet is celebrating living in a mud house as a life achievement How come when they want to do anything for themselves, they go for the world's best, yet when it's time to do anything for the Nigerian masses, they put up a mediocre!

Nigerians deserve a modern and functional railway services and what this government is giving us is no where near good enough! We have the money and men to have a modern and effective rail service all across the country, sadly we lack a leader who can think into the future.

Lets stop celebrating mediocrity and demand for the world's best. We have the money, people and resources to have them in Nigeria. Yes, He may have tried in reviving Lagos-Kano rails, but lets us as a people collectively tell Him, GEJ that we are not celebrating because the allege investment does not commensurate with what is on ground hence we DEMAND a Nigeria standard railway services.

Let anyone not be deceived, if the Lagos-Kano railway service was anything to rejoice about, people will not have been sleeping in MMIA over the mad Easter rush as many would have opted to use the rail service.

GEJ has made a start, but it is not good enough and He needs to up the game and deliver big time. This is about Improving Nigerian lives and no politics should come into play in doing so.

topmostg: these guy?
You must be a joke.

ingrpato: GEJ has no credible agenda, he should be blamed if the country goes into recession.

However be the case, former World bank MD was appointed by OBJ to spearhead the ministry of finance, of which she has put the country in a standard for other African country to emulate from.

CBN Governor, Lamido Sanusi has infact done a tremendious job at strengthening the Naira (₦) against US Dollar ($).

Fhemmmy: From the tone of your writings, it seems like the President have a clue who are doing all these, so what stops him from rounding them up, he has mapped a plan and yet his employees are not making it happen and such people still resume to office day after day and yet the leader is looking and hoping, then, he is not fit.
