God bless you. We had plenty cheap oil money to build these things but they stole it all. Now we MUST have them, hence the borrowing. Those who criticize the borrowing should say where the money will come from

President from zone A sat for 5 years and did not know zone A needs infrastructure.

No be juju be that?

blackpanda:


I believe he has done much more than that, and u know it!

ahuja12:
To do what!

Build railway to china?

ruggedtimi:
so they should spend 14trillion naira on system wey Dem go later abandon.

sulaak:


The majority of the borrowing hasn't gone into infrastructures developed, Amechi has borrowed only $3-4 billion which has been invested into rail programs, but the Buhari has borrowed close to $35 billion.

Where has the $31 billion gone too?

Please think before you respond.

arsenal33:
fact is to develop our infrastructure to an acceptable level we have to borrow. If you have an alternative, think before you respond and tell us

Nigeria’s foreign loans set for all-time high at $45bn as Buhari begs for additional $4bn loan

have lagos to ibadan and abuja to kaduna been abandoned? Some people just do not want progress

NwaIgboBoy:
Amaechi may your d*ick never stand throughout this year, so I course you..... amiiiiiii ooo!!!

Ovamboland:


Nigeria is not owing China any due payment. Abuja- Kaduna railway loan has been repaid up to about 40% since 2017.

Let those predicting it will take 100 years to pay back not deceive you.

Pavore9:
And he was more eager to start the one that terminates in Niger Republic.

Amah70:


Add: Nigeria is sustained by income from the SW and Northern regions.

There is no level of twists and turns, untested theories and outright falsehoods that you predators in Nigeria would not put forward to defend the system.

You raise money from Zone A but use the money to develop Zone B, build modern infrastructures in unproductive Zone B - leave the infrastructures in Zone A deplorable.

HacheNoire:
If past leaders had made hays while the sun was shining, it would never had been this bad.

Buhari had his faults, but if Nigeria moved at the present pace in last 20 years, it would never had been this bad

sulaak:


Dummy try and reason,

No one is questioning the importance to borrow to build infrastructures, I borrowed thousands of pounds to buy my house. The point is that majority of the funds that were borrowed did not end in infrastructures, but consumption, corruption and recurring expenses.

Nigeria has borrowed to pay salaries and import food and refined oil. Can you equate the $35-40 billion that Buhari borrowed to the number of infrastructures on the ground? In 7 years of his government, how many refineries are working?

Think before you respond.....

Lol...I expected the entitlement mentality from u..
Look around the SS ..the oil they produced is moved through pipelines and some out to the oceans for tankership to easily buy and leave..they don't have a transportation problem except bad roads..if a railway is to sited there which will come in the future it won't be so viable as only few people will use it..there are no ports to take advantage of it..even the onne port serves only aba and portharcourt..and there is now a ten lame road being constructed to serve both cities...

The SW and north is a different story ...most of the food we eat comes there and these ate commodities u can move via pipeline.. The cities connected on the Lagos kano line is far grearter in population in economy Dan the SS combined...most of the major factories are in these cities.. So companies will rather have their cargoes quickly evacuated from the Lagos port which serves the entire country to be moved via the rail... By extending the line 30km to The next town in Niger(maradi) means that all their exports DAT support their economy will be moved on the rail and the middlemen (Nigeria) profit from it....if u look at the case of Nigeria. Our export is Oil(liquid) the best way to move it is by pipeline..so most of the time we can't make so much money off transporting oil...but it a different case for commodities that are solid...
Another major point is DAT..Lagos kano line has proven capability to move 30 million tonnes of cargo...portharcourt to Maiduguri is just 11 million...the Lagos calabar line is not expected to exhid 15 million...

Look economically there are a tonne of reasons why Lagos kano has to be developed first..but u won't realise it cuz of sentiment and tribal issues
