Hehehehe

You’ll get yours after the 1st class citizens and regions have gotten theirs first!

Co1rruption Nevada die

Blame Wike for stopping the rail Amechi was constructing, Lagos voted Ambode out cause he slowed down the rail Fashola started, Rivers should vote Wike out for the same reason if they are desirous of a rail system in the state.

Is it only north and south west that love rail network, each time I open this thread is either Abuja, kaduna, Lagos abeokuta inadan, what about the east and south are they not in Nigeria?

It's funny how the south south has kept quiet and their resources are being used to develop other regions.

Why is this government focusing mostly on South West and the North?

This is unfair distribution of infrastructure.

Why did the idea of resource control die with Alamieyeseigha?

In all fairness, South South remains the biggest losers in the Nigerian project.

Wike stopped mono rail and borrowed money to build roads that last only 9 months in Port Harcourt. The big mistakes that guy is making, Rivers people will pay a high price for it. Portharcourt will go the way of Warri soon because of mediocrity, locality and lack of vision.

Op, check again.

Dollars

The cost looks high. It should not be more than $4 million per km

Wait for your turn. Buhari owes us a lot.

Why can't we have locals suppervising 30% of it

Sometimes I’m ashamed to be an indigent if Rivers state..... see the level we’re in cos ppl refuse to be reasonable... Amaechi who is responsible for most major infrastructure in the state was building a mono rail but Wike refused to continue it siting useless reasons and yet some fish brained Rivers ppl are solidly behind him....

They blame all the problems Wike brought in Amaechi....

Are we really gonna pretend wike didn’t make a call to soldiers to disrupt elections or has everyone forgotten about that

Security was better when Amaechi was governor

The fg should do something about this Wike
man

Which rail was Amaechi working on in Ruvers state

that is half Nigeria's budget

China is negotiating it will solely source the funds for the contract therefore it is claiming its own terms

approximate straightline distance between Ibadan to kano 800km.then assume it is 1200km.
then the money no be for here

there is the $5 billion dam plus $8 billion=$13billion massive debts/

there is the $5 billion dam plus $8 billion=$13billion massive debts/

it will take a miracle for Lagos calabar rail network to see the light of day because it will be roughly the same distance but a difficult terrain and hostile communities. it might be $10 billion sef.
unless Nigeria HSS ability to build its own trains and railwork which is not supported by the present type of economy

When 2023 comes, i hope the south-south does not repeat the same mistake of 2019.

Buhari got too many votes there. And for what?

He will be stepping down in 2023, and i hope we can finally vote people in that will further the interests of the south.

The money that Nigeria get from akwaibom alone in two months is more than $10 billion.

You are insulting the people that produce the national wealth.

Really?
That is why you people talk shitt on nairaland. And applaud buhari when he made his 5% statement.


You are ignorant of where the money is actually coming from.
Akwaibom is the largest offshore oil producing location in africa.
Maybe you need check where Nigeria makes thel largest percentage of its dollars.
It is not in lagos. It is deep in the offshore basin of akwaibom.

I just like this Ameachi guy. He should be the one handling the several ministerial Jobs that Fashola is handling.
