taharqa:

Great job... If this actuali happens, GEJ wud have suceeded in Entirely Rehabilitating and bringing to life more than 3000kms of Comatose/near Comatose narrow Guage rail lines (PH-Maiduguri, Lagos-Kano and their many Spur Lines) in less than 3 years- a feat that previous Govts had FAILED to do in more than 25 years regardless of huge money and effort spent.
These, and the New Standard Modern Rail Lines (Aladja-Ajaokuta-Ore-Warri, Abuja-Kaduna, Abuja Metro, Lagos-Ibadan Lines) under various stages of construction, as well as Feasibility Studies for about 10 new proposed Routes.

The Entire Eastern, Eastern NorthCentral and NorthEastern Nigeria may now be OPEN for more business, in terms of Goods and People, after a reali long time.

God bless this President..

i wish Nigerians will learn to say this more often.
life and death are in the power of the tongue cool

What did he do in his 1st 2years?

He probably awarded the contracts.
Why is it now that we are hearing this news?
Because it takes time for construction projects to move from awarded to in progress to completed...often years.

When will you people ever learn that it's the very nature of PDP to execute projects in massive scale as election approaches?


Only a fairy can execute large scale projects from contract awards to completion as election approaches...any hardworking president that is a normal human being would have to have done the hard work and gone through years of planning and making funds available for the project...of course because an expansive or large scale as you've called it project takes years to complete...it's only common sense that 2-3 years after a President gains power is when the success or failure of these proejcts would begin to surface.

When will ever learn that they often hold on till last minutes to election before doing anything?


See above answer.

Why is all this happening in 2013 when he had been in office since 2011?

sarutobie: Staying in aba..for the first time in over 2 decades,the first train plied the railway cutting across okigwe road on friday 13th(last week).Though they were probably surveying the viability of the rail tracks.Many people who were born after the demise of the railways or new settlers in aba were taking aback lol.dem just dey look am like one kind spirit..Anyway its a step in the right direction..I hope they phase out those outdated narrow rail tracks.Nigeria go better
This is Exactly what one means when he talks about TRANSFORMATION. There it is right here.... And to think that this is been done in just about 2 years (d contract was given I bliv in late 2011), one wud have to ask what d helll other Govts were doing in this country in d last 25 years or so!!

wen I look at fixing nigeria frm Mr presidents view point I shed tears of helplessness. who are u going to work with nd trust him without doubt. who is going to help drive ur dream of transformation? our constitution makes it impossible to choose those u trust their competence and capabilities cos ministers must be nominated from all states whom the president cant vouch for their allegiance, capability nd trust.if he reshuffles them to inject competent hands it slows policy formulation nd implementation while the clock is ticking nd nigerians are crying and stoning for result.changes of these ministers are majorly viewed to be political and stirs a lot of debate. to me jonathan has been lucky to work with few ministers who are willing to give his administration good credibility eg aviation, finance(engine room),agriculture, works, and others.I pray this permutation of his will definitely deliver to us our much expected development.

I repeat trains are still working here in lagos form Agege to Mushin bt is that the kind of Railway system we shd be celebrating in 2013. Besides they were only repaired I bet most of you here celebrating it can't even use it. I watched a clip on the state of the Egypts economy and I could see Trains and Train stations even though not like the ones i use in the UK so pls spare us this trash.

Fact is with our present constitution...it is very difficult to select the right people as ministers...you can't possibly have technocrats, people like NOI or the Minister of Agric in every position cause at the end of the day...this people hold little political sway in their respective states...the governors would probably ride on that and see that they continue to frustrate your efforts for their selfish reasons...

Ministers are hugely important for any re-election effort...and the best a president can do is to elect some technocrat ministers, and some political ministers...an FG with a purely technocratic setup would be doomed to fail politically.

This is no longer fresh air, rather it is Fresh Hurricane that will blow the evil men of Nigeria away and those who doesn't want the progress of Nigeria because of selfish interest they wanna pull a working Government down.

has BRF finished building Lagos? My friend, in our part of the land when you appreciate this little achievements that your brothers and northern friends never gave us, we are hoping for bigger ones. In that note, I say GEJ 2015
Re: Eastern Railway Service To Commence By December by remarkD(m): 1:10pm On Sep 17, 2013
So GEJ is half way (from 2011 to 2015) of his presidency and you believe the rails are back to life now because its a strategy to win people over for 2015.... don't you think it is better he does that than not do anything at all to ease transportation and the pressure on our roads?

The people celebrating that you are calling fools (and others as well) will benefit from this and hopefully GEJ will be re-elected in 2015 for another 4 years....

Oh and you asked what he did in his first 2 years.... well... if you look up project management for contracts worth millions of naira/dollars.... say, in this case, for rail renovations or even kilometers of a road construction contract.... what is the average time-line of such projects?

Again you end your post saying "Fools are the cause of Nigeria's woes because they fail to apply logical reasoning to x-ray tactical strategies often used by PDP.[/quote]

The tactical strategy you are saying that "fools" do not "x-ray" and thus lead to Nigeria's woes is: announcing an anticipated completion of a project now, but that he did nothing for the past 2 years, and being 2 years away from another election and working even harder now is what leads to Nigeria's woes...

Who sounds like a fool... the people celebrating... GEJ doing the job he was elected to do for 4 years... or the person blaming the woes of Nigeria on citizens that celebrate and praise their leader for doing the job he was elected to do....
