IgboSomalia: If not for the low value of the naira, Nigerians won't be chasing exports..... western countries are not exporting to Nigeria because their currency has value. |

Tunde835:What is the land size of these places? When you check it out, you will see that your analysis is terribly flawed. Let me help you with some. Imagine if the population of Lagos is halved or even divided into 4. 2 Likes

BigBashiru: Thr cars Japan produces, doesn't it export them? Don't their currency have value? Japan doesn't have a single tree of rubber, yet they make cars. 100% of the rubber used in manufacturing in Japan are imported. Demand. Isreal imports majority of the fruits it eats. This is due to their soul type. Demand. France, Germany and the UK import billions of dollars worth of cocoa every year for beverages. Demand. Nigeria is not an industrialised nation yet. The easiest way out is to use increased exports to get the necessary resources for industrialisation. 2 Likes 1 Share |

olujastro: Thanks for your response. If what you said is acceptable about cargos beingn a priority,do you think it would still have been more logical reconstructing Lagos-kano from old gauge to standard gauge while leaving the lagos- Calabar which has no existing old nor new line(not forgetting the fact that old gauge is still mainly still usable for Cargo and standard is for passengers train because of speed??),will it not be better leaving the old one for kano to operate and start a construction of of coastal aLagos-calabar one(putting in mind that the SE and SS ports were intentionally made to only encourage oil and agro exports and not import? |

IgboSomalia: Hmmm,thank for your response But kindly tell me which of the two Lagos-calabar(A) and Lagos-Kano(B) Does the following most (1)move Agric produce for export and metallurgical materials (2) moves tourist and travellers (3) move agric produce for internal consumption (4) locally produced goods(wears,processed material like oil and gas related and consumers goods) (5)moves imported equipment,machines,wears ,chemicals,wears abd foods.

mamaafrik:The narrow gauge built by the British was poorly maintained by Nigerian government and left in a state of disrepair, hence the standard gauge railway modernisation plan by the FG for the two South-North rail lines. I read a detailed coverage of a Lagos-Kano rail trip many years ago by a Premium Times journalist, a horrible trip that took about a week to complete. Clearly, cargo transporters prefer using the roads which is way faster than the narrow gauge route. |

What I don't understand is why they will use Julius Berger to build 3rd Mainland Bridge and Ikoyi-Lekki link bridge and now use Boda Tajudeen & Sons Building & Civil Works Ifako-Ijaye Branch to perform maintenance works |

mamaafrik: i think Lagos-Kano first cause you're linking two different regions together, plus Kano has many industries which would need the railway line for safer transporting of these goods |

mamaafrik: Moves Agric produce for export and metallurgical materials. - Kano route. Tourists and travellers - Calabar route Move agric produce for internal consumption - Kano route. Lagos alone alone consumes more cattle daily than the entire Nigeria. The initial 2 weeks lockdown in Lagos affected farmers all over Nigeria. Locally produced goods(wears, processed material like oil and gas related and consumers goods). Kano. Most of the tankers you see in Lagos are taking oil to the far north. (5)moves imported equipment,machines,wears ,chemicals,wears abd foods. Kano. You know why I'm choosing Kano over Calabar? There are seaports for the SE to use but Kano doesn't have a seaport for importation. Let those who want to ship to Lagos and move by rail to the SE use Calabar port instead. |
Re: The Lekki-ikoyi Link Bridge (construction Pictures) by mamaafrik(m): 11:47am On Jul 29, 2020 |
IgboSomalia:why do you feel the SS and SE traders prefer to come to lagos and not ship things through the native ports (which is a cheaper channel) |
Re: The Lekki-ikoyi Link Bridge (construction Pictures) by mamaafrik(m): 11:48am On Jul 29, 2020 |
myles16:ok,thanks,but which region do you feel has more industries out of the two regions who needs access to the sea and market SS+SE or North central + NW |
Re: The Lekki-ikoyi Link Bridge (construction Pictures) by IgboSomalia: 11:49am On Jul 29, 2020 |
mamaafrik: The governments of those States have foolishly failed to provide infrastructure ancillary to the operations of the ports, e.g. roads. Try to study TINAPA. It gives an idea of what I'm talking about. 2 Likes |
