The truth can never be hidden God bless senator Danjuma Goje and Pat asadu for speaking up against this injustice against the Igbos by Buhari government. It feels good knowing that there are so many northern leaders that are not pleased with the high level of wickedness Buhari government has shown the igbos . The northern senators even reminded the Buhari government that the economy of south east is bigger than that of Niger republic . According to the senators : “So if we approve this budget for you, you will go and do Kano-Maradi standard rail line and do a narrow gauge rehabilitation for the South-East. My heart bleeds. “Instead of doing the right thing, you are now giving us this one as what will enhance the economy of Niger and Nigeria, while the economy of Nigerians especially those who have the containers and who are always on the road are given a narrow gauge rehabilitation.” Similarly, Danjuma Goje, said, “I concur with you because we have consistently challenged the minister. Which tribe have the containers and always on the road if not the Igbos ... God will continue to bless and prosper the Igbos even if Buhari like it or not . 328 Likes 23 Shares |

On the economic justification for constructing the $1.3bn Kano-Maradi rail, Ameachi said the project was not based on sentiments but economic benefits for the country. Questions economy justification Answer economy benefits . 34 Likes 2 Shares |

“Are people from the South-East, North-Central and North-East not Nigerians? Why should there be double standard in this matter? Rotimi Amaechi has proven over time that he's a bastard and I hope he stays back in the north after the expiration of the clueless Buhari regime to enjoy the train ride from Nigeria to Maradi and not returned back to Rivers. It's obvious he is now fully sold out to the northern cabal misruling the country with utmost wickedness ![]() 181 Likes 11 Shares |

Thank God for Mr Pat Asadu. Amechi was able to conclude loan deals for Abuja Lagos Ibadan kaduna kano standard Guage lines, the Eastern Guage line is from Port Harcourt Enugu Benue Plateau Taraba Maiduguri as part C project is not even a new rail line but to rehabilitate the old line. Surprisingly, Amechi was able to secure funds/loan for part D kano Maradi standard Guage because the president insisted on it to give people (his first cousins) in another country a better life than we while we and and grand children pay for the loans plus interest. Amechi which economic value does Kano to Maradi has that is more important than Port Harcourt to Maiduguri? Even in volume and passengers? Sen Goje have said it all. "this is why we always fight in this country" When things to go equal, you don't expect peace. Even in a family of six with same father and mother, when things are shared and others don't get equally share, there can never be peace in that family. 112 Likes 10 Shares |

Charity begins at home, but for Amechi, charity begins abroad. His state and region have not benefited from his almost 7yrs as minister of transportation. The problem with Southern politicians is that they hardly learn from past events. I remember a former governor of River State, Dr. Peter O. who virtually took all the money he is supposed to have used to develop his state to the north with the expectation of their support for his presidential ambition, he was not only denied his ambition but is being hunted today. What about our former president (Dr. Ebele Jonathan) and many more. To me the more you try to impress the north the more they see the stupidity in you. 153 Likes 11 Shares |

If you are wondering why Igbos want Biafra, this is one of the numerous reasons. As long as this kind of injustice and economic sabotage is metted on the great Igbo people, the agitation for Biafra and Nigerian disintegration will continue to be rife. Buhari is a disaster and should not be near power in this 21st century. As for Rotimi Amaechi, I once thought u to be a smart and excellent administrator, but you have proven me wrong. First they made you use Rivers State money to fight your own brother. They made you move presidential power that was domiciled in your region to their region. Now they are using you to build railways even to far away Maradi while the railway lines in your region are in comatose. Amaechi indeed you are the greatest Mumu of all times. History will never be kind to you. 149 Likes 8 Shares |

limeta:What economic benefits that are coming to nigeria from niger? I'd really like to know because last I checked, the major economic benefits are coming from the borders in southern nigeria. So if you are looking at economic benefits, shouldn't the rails within the country linking south and north be given more priority? Instead we are borrowing billions of dollars to build a railway in niger to a maradi that has no economic benefits that I can think of. I am asking again, is there any economic benefits we know of that we are getting from this Niger to justify this kind of massive wasting of our money on? This is borrowed money for God's sake!! It means we don't have the money so we have to borrow to do this and heaping debts both on ourselves and generations unborn just to build a standard rail for another country. 52 Likes 3 Shares |

This is it. A fellow Igbo man marginalising his people to please people that don't want to be pleased. Despite the porthacourt Maiduguri line being the most economically viable, Mr amaechi choose to 'refurbish' the outdated narrow gauge instead of constructing the standard gauge that is currently being used worldwide. He want to even first start the economically unviable kano maradi line first but neglecting the place that will fetch money that will be used to repay the Chinese. Eastern politicians have a fundamental problem. I just lost my respect for amaechi 29 Likes 4 Shares |

PrudencyFeats: So you now want Buhari to collect more loans because you want standard gauge rail lines in the SE? I thought you were all bleating that collecting loans even for railway is a very bad thing? Now you want to add $12bn to the loan portfolio because your self esteem can't carry seeing results of the loans you condemn in other parts of the country who welcome them. Only if you had demanded real infrastructure like this from Jonathan when we had lots of money instead of temporary appointments and diamond bra and pants 8 Likes 2 Shares

clarocuzioo: They did not want Biafra when GEJ did not construct standard railway or even Second Niger bridge for them or fixing all the federal roads in SE. You all suddenly realized you lacked those things when Buhari became president hence he must start all his plans in SE and must not do anything in any part of the country until SE own is done. Who was Jonathan going to pack from Niger republic when this railway passing through Daura was been planned in 2013? Did he have premonition that Buhari of Daura will become president? Where is the railway he built to Otuoke or Niger Delta or SE his pillar since he failed to build to Niger as planned? Let Buhari build the railway that catches his fancy and if Atiku comes let him build the one to his village. If southern president comes let him/her be spending on diamond bra. 8 Likes 2 Shares

MajesticKris: How Dumb can dumb be? Do you need a railway to ship people from Niger into Nigeria or vice versa? What of the numerous road links? Is it not the same route you all follow to cross the desert into Libya to be sold as slaves and organ donor? If you don't know the usefulness of rail link between countries just keep quiet. Benin, Cameroon Ghana all have their own ports, what's the cargo benefits or port charges Nigeria would earn if we build railway to those countries? The $120m that will be used to construct rail tracks inside Niger will pay back within 3 years from port charges alone not to talk of freight charges on all their imports and exports going to NRC. Even those who claim to be educated are bigots and still think like Shekau, only yet to carry bombs. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Ovamboland: You are pathetically Ignorant. First of all, Biafra agitation started when Ojukwu was in his youthful age. During Obasanjo's regime, Ralph Uwazuruike and Nnamdi Kanu were always in and out of jail for Biafra agitation. When Jonathan was there, Nammdi Kanu called him names, but Jonathan handled the whole agitation.more maturely by totally.ignoring Nnamdi Kanu. Not even a single response to all he said, that simply made Nnamdi Kanu to be less relevant and unknown to so many people then. unfortunately, the dullard and disaster of a president came in, and started chasing Nnamdi Kanu around, today the whole world is interested in Nnamdi Kanu's case, all because of the dullard in chief handled the whole thing. Go and read up kiddo. 44 Likes 3 Shares |

The more i try to understand the rationale behind the Construction of the 284 kilometres Nigeria-Maradi (Niger Republic) standard gauge rail line the more confuse i become. Excerpt: “For a segment of this country that is known for trade and commerce, they need railway as they need air. “Why is the ministry doing a 287 kilometers of railway track from Kano to Maradi that you will fund with Nigerian money borrowed for Nigerians to be paid by our children to do a world class railway to Maradi. “I also know the economy of Niger Republic and I believe the economy of the South-East is bigger than that of Maradi. I am not even talking of South-South." 10 Likes |
