A little real estate boom(more office spaces) and Abuja will be up there with serious city across the globe.Already if you ask me I would say Abuja has nailed the basics.


For a ghost city I see more car traffics and cranes than expected.

If only Abuja has sea and beaches, it would have been by far the best city in Africa.

Fake news at the moment the trains are not running I tried catching them about 2 weeks ago and they not running. Each time I start debunking the lies. When I visited Nigeria I tried catching Bart trains Abuja light rail way they were not running, and also Lagos ibadan railway was not operational. In fact people were angry because they have already bought tickets in advance

Shortly before the trip commenced, an elderly woman approached me and claimed that I was on her allocated seat. She showed me her ticket and the number written on it. To our surprise, we had the same number — coach 04, seat 34.

It became clear that the manual issuance of tickets had resulted in conflicting seat numbers given by the NRC officials....At 10:00 am, the female announcer said, “we are now arriving at Chief Obafemi Awolowo station in Moniya, Ibadan”. The announcement surprised passengers who had expected the trip to last more than two hours.

But as they prepared to exit the coach, the train refused to stop. Alas, the announcer had provided false information — the train was at the time arriving Omi-Adio station and not Moniya.

Over 100 passengers were stranded at the Mobolaji Johnson Train Station in Ebute-Metta on Saturday due to inadequate train coaches at the station.

Our correspondent gathered that many passengers who[b] had purchased the 8:30am tickets could not get on board because of the number of passengers that turned out for the train.[/b]

The Abuja-Kaduna and Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail services will resume operations at 9.15 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday respectively, following the suspension of strike by railway workers.

Strikes,overbooking and missed stops!

Edit: yes,its Abuja-Kaduna but still relevant.

While it is no longer news that the growing insecurity in the land is putting pressure on rail transportation, there is an urgent need for the federal government to ensure passengers get to their destinations in record time without being exposed to any danger.
For the umpteenth time, hundreds of passengers on the Abuja-Kaduna train service were a few weeks ago stranded in the bush after the train developed a fault a few minutes after it left Rigasa Station in Kaduna State.

A passenger had taken to social media in a tweet to announce that the train had initially stopped twice before it finally broke down in the middle of a forest in Dutse, Kaduna.
It was gathered that the train had broken down severally in the past, leaving passengers stranded, disrupting their travel plans, and also exposing them to undue security risks.

The fact that we refused to sign Afcta and it restricted it from taking off shows our influence and power on this continent. I remember the whole of Africa sending delegates to come and beg buhari in Abuja.even Kenyatta did.

When we closed our border we had to beg Buhari because even some far away West African countries who do not share a border with us were affected. Benin republic as we know it almost crumbled .
We the citizens were the ones begging Buhari to have mercy .

Lol you are one olodo,noise making miscreant.
Let me play your game. You said our gdp is cooked just cos our cities can’t compete with SA cities and our Gdp’s are quite close(this goes to show you know nothing about gdp and annual economic output). The gdp of Morocco and Kenya is quite close(a smaller gap than Nigeria and SA) ,can you be kind enough to tell me why no Nairobi can’t compete with even thier fifth tier city.

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.

What you established 3 years ago is irrelevant to the reality on ground. Without mincing again, Abuja can accommodate 7m inhabitants with everyone having decent accommodations to themselves. I know you are enlightened, use google map and see for yourself what is going on in the city. Abuja did not play host to the biggest single housing estate in the entire continent to be a potemkin city.

Abuja suburb where open defecation is culture

Nigeria: Five Notorious Spots Where People Defecate Openly in Abuja
16 SEPTEMBER 2018
Premium Times (Abuja)
By Ebuka Onyeji
Abuja, Nigeria's capital, is gradually turning into an open field where people defecate without restraint, recent checks by PREMIUM TIMES have shown.

Beneath the good roads, exotic cars and gigantic edifices the Federal Capital Territory is adorned with, are long shadows of irritating sights of human excreta.

How FCT plans to curb open defecation-Official
The agency says public toilets will also be built in schools, markets and health centers.
ByTitilope Fadare May 25, 2021 3 min read

The Federal Capital Territory is set to build public toilets along highways in the city in order to reduce open defecation.

This was made known on Tuesday by the Deputy Director Head of Water Supply of Federal Capital Territory Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASSA), Chinelo Ebrike

Ms Ebrike said the agency would also build public toilets in schools, health centers and markets to fight the menace.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/463791-how-fct-plans-to-curb-open-defecation-official.html

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.

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.

I once said Kikuyu1's head go nut whenever he sees or hear anything Abuja.

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.

Lol it’s thesame thing with Algeria.

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:


What will trigger that? Let's try to be realistic; Oil has lost value, your companies are collapsing, your productivity rate is dwindling..
unless you're talking of 1000yrs to come.

Our companies are collapsing?

Companies that are scaling up?

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?

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:
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.

Look at the value column - almajiri graduate

After all this time this ishyt is still funny! Brazil level agriculture and these mofos don't even have a diary sector!?

Almajiri graduate at his best.
1) Understand Agriculture as sector/economic activity and as industry.
2) Agriculture that is 21 percent of Nigeria - ISIC agriculture activities - farming, fishing, forestry. Then you have sectors like finances, real estates
3) Now we also have 3 industries - Agriculture, Services and Industry. The agricluture now include agro-processing and all related activites with linkages to it. Services would mean banking, real estate, tourism, etc. The 20 ISIC sectors collapsed into 3 broad categories of Agri, Industry and Services.

4) We are talking BILLIONS not million

Now
1) Nigeria GDP at 480B - it's agricluture (ISIC) is 96B dollars.
2) Nigeria Agriculture as Industry - is probably 40 percent (using Kenya rate) - so about 200B dollars.
3) The table I gave you had figures in PPP - Nigeria has 236B dollars.

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.

The amount of codein they consume in West Africa is staggering. These MOFOs are always high. You wonder how their entire statistic fratenity not get shocked when they come up with estimates like this? Seriously

So, ur table showed Nigeria having 21% but u still manipulated urself that Nigeria had 40% agriculture and $200b u mean u don't believe the table u posted again.

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


I wish this was true

Yes .see for yourself.

Almajiri graduate.

21% - staggering 236B dollars worth of agricluture in purchasing power parity - more than US and Brazil. That is what should shock you.

When it come to nominal gdp - 21 percent - translate to 100B dollars. This also place it on top of Brazil.

Now tell us what magic you use to convert your hoe powered agriculture in world top food importer to generate such kind of stastics.

OVERCOOKED. You put a fork on it already.
