BREAKING: FG approves $1.9bn rail line to Niger Republic

The Federal Government on Wednesday approved $1,959,744,723.71 for the construction of a rail line that will link Nigeria to Niger Republic.

The approval was given at a meeting of the Federal Executive Council presided over by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari . The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, told State House correspondents at the end of the meeting that the sum approved for the development of the proposed rail line linking Kano-Dutse-Katsina-Jibia and to Maradi in Niger Republic is inclusive of Value Added Tax.

Amaechi said apart from that, the council also approved the award of a contract worth N3.049 bilion for the design, manufacture, supply, testing, and commissioning of one railway crane for the purposes of clearing rail tracks in situations of accidents.

Misplaced priorities Everytime ...How would the construction of a rail line to Niger republic boost the economy...shame!!!

When some parts of Nigeria are yet to be covered and most of the roads in Nigeria are in bad shape It does not make sense at all.

And is money we borrow from China and Nigerians will pay for a railway that is going to Niger republic,Amaechi well-done and follow them go back Niger republic when the time comes

Wickedness of evil satanic agents

Kk

Jokes master

Sai Baba!! The best president Nigeria ever had. No 👒🤝🏽

Na today? Every state is already enjoying rail service, after all. But I hope Niger will pay part of the loan.

We don't have any working rail line in Nigeria, its now I know this man is just busy opening the door for killer headsmen to enter freely.

Our darling country, God go judge una

You guys have not even settle Asuu una dey approve 1.9bn

Let Baba bubu merge NIGER with NIGERIA

Am nt sayin is a bad idea, bt yet we have more priority projects better than this, looking at our hospitals, schools, roads, waterways our closed industries, we really need to have working brains ohh

What about the proposed rail line from Lagos to Port Harcourt?

c_ofiaeli This man is an idiot. There is no rail from Lagos to PHC, Lagos - Onitsha, Lagos - kano; or Lagos - PHC - Onitsha - Kano which will drive/create more business activities for Nigerians & increase govt yields but instead Lagos - Ibadan, Kano - Niger Rep? Very incompetent govt.

Our Government is suffering from misplacement of Priority syndrome.......when we have unfinished project in lagos and other state

MBuhari is always doing the wrong project!! Rail to Niger Republic 😂😂 Why Please, which economy depends on the other? Niger supposed to build a rail line linking them to the bigger economy!! Foolish man!! No sense of administration! Nigeria economy Naija politics FGN

government without wisdom old fools

That will fit perfectly well into his plan. Import therrorists into Nigeria to kill and maim.

A clueless and hopeless government

My dear Mr. President, what happened to the Rail line linking the Eastern Corridor. Lagos to Portharcourt and Maiduguri or so to calabar/Portharcourt? I hope it has not been forgotten?

Niger when some state I'm nija Neva get better road. Buharia govt and his adviser are doing great job.

This is right step in the wrong direction

Of what economic benefit will this rail line bring to the Nigerian economy ? .

This is a cool plan to make it easier for insurgency. Why not make a rail line linking Lagos and Ghana? renoomokri dino_melaye Mazigburugburu1 APOSTLESULEMAN

Buhari is opening another easy and cheaper route for BANDITS, INSURGENTS, KIDNAPPERS, RUSTLERS and BOKO HARAMS, God must help us.

IamtheOGee What's up big guy?

This country needs serious prayers and deliverance from these leadership deficiencies. Bad roads everywhere, what a misplace priority.

They know that we will talk &keep quiet that's why they do certain things. WHAT BUSINESS does Nigeria have developing Niger when we are not developed our self. They know nothing will happen

Are these people normal

Misplaced priorities

Mr President's real home State.

Good job Mr president God bless you

Good for the North. Just let Biafra go, WILL YOU!

Abandoning the resource base of the Nation to satisfy the north and Niger rep, and think there's need for the forced union in the name of one Nigeria. One day the good Lord would hearken to the plight of the oppressed and exploited.

MBuhari seems you're not aware of the decay we in, yet this huge funds for Niger rail? who did this to us?

We are doomed. No roads, no good health care and all we care about is rail connecting Kano and Niger.

Baba this is wasteful project

Una never tell us wetin dey for Niger republic. Useless and clueless govt

I've never seen an elephant running to ant for help this is ridiculous cutting tiles from other ecowas countries to relate with only Niger is what I don't understand please

Yes this can only happen when a Fulani man's helpful to his herdsmen.

Remembering his people over there at the same time their refineries need more patronage from naija

This can never be allowed to happen

I don't think Gen. Buhari is aware of this project. What is the benefit of this project to Nigeria? When graduates are roaming about the street hopelessly.

Route where guns terrorists and more guns will be coming in.

Shame on this government

Funny leaders! The interstate road we have in the country are in bad shape and he's approving borrowed money for a rail that has no economic value.

1.9bn $ to no where?

Madness

So the point is; 1.What can Nigerians do about this? 2.What will Nigerians do about this?They fly a kite and wait for our hues and cries and then call our bluff because we do nothing.

🤣😂🤣. You southern guys never see anything yet.

WTF!....this government is up to something

MJO08611583 Nigeria is gone completely

What's the point please? Is it for importation of Fulani herds men ? Cos I don't really see why. Are we done linking the north to the south? What is wrong with Nigeria?

There they go again with their lopsided method of governance. This is our collective money being channeled to a particular set of people in the country...who gives the fuck about Niger Republic.

We have not finish the Kano,kaduna to Lagos, hmmmmmm? Oshisko

The baba is teaching next southern president how to do things to favour his region baba nor send oooh make una complain if una like

Great leaders are readers. If you want to rub mind(s) with great leaders and the anointing of Servants of a great God, take time to read their books. Christian Library is where you can share and get all christian books.

Rail lines from Nigeria to Niger Republic. Hanya is Buhari not from Niger kwa? Of what importance is Niger to Nigeria? Benin Republic is far important to Nigeria than Niger. Anyways, the President is from Niger and it's becoming clearer.

A leopard cannot change its skin

Yet we shouting they shuld sit and talk to asuu for things to be better....

Yet same federal government keeps borrowing money from other countries. Is the federal government not fooling herself?

In 1985: Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerian president is confirmed by History Ville as the first and only President and Head of state in the history of modern international relations to vote against his country in favor of his tribe. TrafficChiefNG nassnigeria

It's becoming more and more clear that foreigners from Niger and Sudan Republics are the ones ruling Nigeria.

What's the economy important of this fucking project? And we're saying there's no money.

Who did this to me us?

Or could be making this up🤔

Am Seriously fighting the thought in my head pushing me to say Our President is Mad

How did we get to this point?

This country just keep spending and spending without making any money, why na?

MBuhari please when are you linking a rail line from Nigeria to Canada or Sweden Treat as urgent please

What is the economic importance of linking Niger Republic to Nigeria? Please I can't really find any someone please help me

Pls what Economic important is the railway track to we the Nigerians... Still dont understand this Country..... We Nigerians are so blinded by tribalism... After all is what we sow during 2015 election that we are reeping

Why is Niger do important Buhari? Have all the regions in Nigeria connected? There is an agenda the rest Nigerians don't know.

That's where his votes are coming from😢

If this news is true then we presently have the most useless government ever in the history of Nigeria. There was once a country, general Buhari we hail thee... VOTENengiTo32052 Nigerians

Akotileta omo òfò, omo àdánù!!!

You're beginning to reveal your true nationality.

What a country

What's the economical value of this project. Is it because Niger is part of NIGERia? Is like borrowing money to fix neighbor's house leaving yours dilapidated. Who are the advisers? smucS

Inyo waste

Why Niger republic? The rail system has not cut across the nation we are talking of Niger.

😝😂😂😂😂

But you voted for this govt

This if true is misplaced priority. Does the economic value of rail line to Niger Republic more than that of within Nigeria?. I dont understand this investment at all. Federal Government should have a rethink abeg.

This is too much now. Wetin happen. Them just dey thief money anyhow with useless contracts for this country.

Very synonymous to Kaduna refinery project that was built during the Military era. inefficient Economic planning don't only slow down economicgrowth but also stampede economic development.

Pure madness , let's do this guys... We should continue to revolt this regime and their wrench policies... I don't subscribe to the govt 60th independent Egun alare dramatic shows, I won't dance away my pains and agony... Come Oct 1st On the street we protest their excesses

...Minister of Transport nd all the Nation House of Assembly members; Senate nd HoRs, from the South-south, South-east nd South-west regions who represents only their selfish interest.

...properties, the Foolishness nd Incompetence in them will Not make them see the importance of it. Rather they'll Choose to appear Good nd Sainty before other countries nd make their citizens suffer. Anyways. I blame the Soldout Dishonest nd Dishonorable...

Instead of building Rail tracks in Nigeria that Trains can move on to convey petroleum products to different parts of the country, nd avoid road destruction by the weight of petrol tankers, falling nd bursting into flames, killing people nd destroying...

im not suprise...the president is dedicated to Niger than Nigeria..Only if Nigerians can make me president im sure i can do better as a Nigerian that wants Nigeria to be great again.

And there is no train in eastern part of Nigeria as some part of south

Is our Govt ok😵😵?

I hope Nigerians are enjoying the change and next level

With more borrowed money shey? We never see correct rail lines within Nigeria we dey do international 😂😂😂

Haaaaa rail line that will help the fulani move things and our resources easily

Why is this government incentive to the need of the poor masses who overwhelmingly. In what way is this rail project to Niger add to the GDP and income of this country.

What informed this decision, trade and industry?! We haven’t connected all our major cities by railways, yet this happens! Is the need so overwhelming, and if so can we have a honest detailed analysis, please?

So that more terrorist can enter and leave Nigeria at ease... Any country the Fulanis are, must be linked with either borrowed facilities or Nigeria's tax payers fund. E be things o.

Really a confused govt.

The Mad man in uniform has gone mad again. A white Elephant project that will never sees the day and of no relevance to the economic viability of Nigeria masses. What a shame Nigeria at 60 still playing big fool in big brother Africa.

May be BUHARI maternal home is NIGER

We could not work on our own we are going out. What a lifreze.

One of those contracts they use for money laundry. Scam!

It's like rail line in Nigeria runs in the blood...

Dem no wan dey get sense again. Easy access for BH boys

I also facilitate Working visa , work permit to Poland , Ireland , Netherland, luithianan and Kuwait

A country where everything goes, as far as it favours the Quota system owners

Dear Punch Newspaper, The headline could have been couched better. Was it a deliberate attempt to make us click through? It literally looked as if Nigeria contracted a Kano Rail line to Niger Republic

Useless govt

Worst government in the world

Cc Ikramaliyu 😂😂😂

No rail line is working in the East but, FG approved hug amount of money to construct rail line from Kano to Niger that will not gain any economic

cotonou would have been better ... owing from the volume of trade....

This could be evidence that PMB is from Niger Republic

What do we need a rail line to Nigeria republic for? Niger, Mali and our neighbors from that axis have only brought us conflict, herdsmen and guns. Now we are giving them proper access.

Shud Ipob speak now it will be termed tribalism..but look at the bodylanguage of this govt...wat is the economics of this railline...i still say it..this govt is clueless..esp d economic team..i cnt bliv an Igbo man heads CBN..

He is planning to seek asylum there after he successfully destroys our economy

Every time I ask myself why is the Federal government always doing a project to Niger republic is the government of Niger republic also contributing to the rail line or it is just a Nigerian thing I'm confused

Tbh, this doesn't make any economic sense. Also, there is no way this rail line would be completed before 2023. If the next president is focused on the economy, he would most likely cancel it because its not viable. All I see here is Buhari trying to cash out once again

This is madness

My question can the National Assembly stop this senseless wastage and misplaced priority project.

He is the minister of northern and western railways

When people are been kill on daily basis on our road as a result of negligence of government to fix the road.

I am sure this government has linked the whole of Nigeria by rail before considering that of another çountry. Abi we no get sense again ni. What is Niger republic offering us apart from boko haram, please let us know

Mad & senseless NigeriaGov.. When other sane countries are busy innovating and electrifying their railways, Nigeria is putting the unborn generation into debt by borrowing to fund steam locomotive train project. Shey dem swear for this president ni? What is the economic impact?

Black and white Jibril the second

Lol... I laughed in Lagos - Badagry Express.. 😂 😂 😂 😂

Everytime stupid news

Sigh.

I can't even close my mouth in wonderment, after reading this?! A ti si omo gba sílé bayi!

Some 'experts' may have reasons why such a project is necessary despite the objections from the larger populace. But I'll say if we always need experts to explain why a particular govt. action is good or needed, then maybe it ain't & thus they need a rethink.

What is the revenue projection for this project? I don't want to believe there is no iota of wisdom behind this.

Rail line to Niger for?

I love that more revenue coming from that side of the country

It is welcome development

What is so special about Niger Republic when Nigeria is connected with rail lines.we have many bridges not fully constructed .Finish a project instead of carrying many projects on hand

This MBuhari govt is dull sha 🤦🏽

People that are not Nigerians will come and be oppressing the core Nigerians mmmh?

LET'S CELEBRATE

Benin Republic contribute more to Nigeria economy than Niger Republic. Do govt want to import terrorists by train? This is a total mispriority.

What the fuck....wetin concern us and Niger republic...

Can someone tell me the economic benefits of this rail line to Nigeria? Have we finished connecting all the major cities in Nigeria by rail? We play too much here.

No rail connecting: Kano to Onitsha Lagos to Aba Kaduna to Calaba Abuja to PH Maiduguri to Lagos Yet, Bubu & his team of 🤡 thought it wise to link a rail line with Niger! Not even Ghana or Cotonou that has more economic relevance to Nigeria Who is doing d thinking in Aso Rock?

They will soon amalgamate Niger republic with Nigeria. Just wait.

On 2nd thoughts my comment: The Lagos Badagry Express Way has been left in ruins, navigating even with okada is extreme sports but this is more important. Dear SW BMC continue with your blind support. Note that this is 1.9 Billion Dollars not Naira. Cheers

What a waste of resources. Charity begins at home. Nigeria first and always. Bad advice

I believe there are more advantages to having this link, than to the South East. Only if we Igbos remove sentiments on some issues and analyse economies with no bias. The only problem is, the wicked acts will always overshadow the righteous works. Fulanis have destroyed Nigeria

😱 am I reading well, Niger State or Niger republic? What is the connection? When they lack vision, the people perish in vain🤦🏽‍♀️

Next is Sudan where Jubril came from 😁 😁 😁 😁

Another money for sharing Mtchew

For what reason What will be the economic benefit of such ?

855billion. This money is more than enough to make all our refinaries work, train Nigerian on petroleum engineering abroad. But why God!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I am confused ooo is it naira or dollar?

We have no president in Nigeria!

I think it will be better and more sensible for the Nigerian Govt to officially annex Niger republic either as a trust territory or a protected state. Niger republic has enjoyed considerable advantages and economic gains under this Govt than some regions in the Country.

What benefits is the rail line accruing to the country? Instead of approving the ones linking the southern region and fixing up the federal roads connecting the industrious southern states.

Something is fishing here. Who owns that Refinery in Niger Republic?

This man is just useless to his country

Can it be 2023 already......

Stop wasting our money on irrelevant issues. Nigeria have more problem and infrastructure to attend to than the rail to Niger republic. Buhari nassnigeria FinMinNigeria We say SayNoToNigerRepublicRailway

These daylight political robbery. Everyone is slave, only some are aware. We have been chained with laws.

No sane man will doubt the words of Nnamdi Kanu MaziNnamdiKanu

Everyone in the comment just blabbing.... why not just take a minute to research and understand why. Look at the map and there you have your answers

By the time Nigerians realize the long term plan, it will be too late.

This fulani man will borrow Nigeria out to benefit other fulani nations because he has nothing to loose

A country man must do for his country people 😊🚶🏾‍♂️

Kano Kano Kano. Let me reserve my comment

I can't seem to understand the economic importance of this railway Knowing fully well the insecurity ravaging the North This govt is so clueless

This country where are we moving to?

$1.9billion of Chinese loan used in building a rail to Niger is an insult to the common sensibilities of Nigerians. We have priority projects that we ought to channel our scarce resources to such as the Ibono deep sea port, rail line line linking Lagos and Onitsha amongst many.

This government has shown that the rest of Nigeria do not matter, rather their psychological nearness to their tribal and cultural ties with Niger Republic that matter.

FG didn’t approve $1.8bn loan for Kano rail project – DMO

He’s fixing the road to his real hometown una Dey here dey lament. Isn’t Katsina, his supposed hometown, being overrun by bandits currently? Una go get sense las las!

Is this man alright like this? You haven't done interstates u are doing from one country to another. You people better get ready to full time Fulani raids

How did his project get past the nassnigeria?

Have they finished connecting the Nigerian states by rail? What's with this man and Niger sef?

Fix the port. This makes no sense. Uranium can be shipped from our port which is the only economic reason for the rail track.

What's the economic benefits to Nigeria ? Guess what ? He's borrowing money to fund a rail line to niger republic. It has never been this bad in our history. ProfOsinbajo

What does a rail line to Niger has to do with our economy... clueless old folks

So finally, we decide to invest in something that actually matters(transportation sector). Whether this is the most urgent route to work on or not, I’m somewhat glad that we’re warming up to reality

It’s high time the youths starts to look into how the government runs the country. Diversify watch BBNaija Nd keep your ears open 4 the news. Like this for example a rail line linking Niger 🇳🇪 to Nigeria for what economic reasons specifically ?uranium that goes majorly to France

This move is note political than economy...open the Eastern rail line , that's more viable

More details are required for this project. Already majority are against this project.

What is the rationale behind this ?

My only question is, what is the economic value for this?

I don't understand how about a thousand or two control the affairs of a whole country and do what they please and 200 million people cannot stand up to them..

The number of trailers and gas tankers moving across Ore road that connects the west to the east and south is way higher than the traffic at Niger-Nigeria border. Yet there’s no rail linking Lagos to Onitsha, not even a plan for it yet.

It's gradually coming to the fore....

This just sounds daft. No functional railway from kano to the east yet you want to do one to Niger. Tufiakwa Ekwesus!

When some of us say we've lost confidence in the one Nigeria project they'd call us unpatriotic and agenda pushers.

What is wrong with this man? 🙁

All hail the king of the north👌

Hahaaaaaaahaaaa.... Next presidential election enh... APC will loose 100%... Them dead!!!!!

I had to read 5 times because I was confusing Niger to a Republic. Ha Ha. There're other neighboring countries that can provide economic importance than this f*cking republic that more terrorists can flow through into Nigeria. SMH.

What is the meaning of this na? Haven't we has enough Niger immigrant mouths to feed? What are we gaining from these people? Haba, Oga you don proof say you no be Nigerian.

What good have we experienced in this MBuhari led APC govt? 2023 please come tomorrow.

Isn't it obvious? We want to make life easy for the cows. Trekking from Niger to Nigeria is somewhat inhumane to these African/Nigerian treasure

If you know, you know.... 👌😉

Niger and Nigeria republics of fulfulde......hahahahaha...... somany places are waiting for this rail but, Niger is more important than anything.

I knew our president is a niger. A niger is also known as the fulanis One day a government would come that would chase away borno Adamawa and so on. they were never in Nigeria territory now you want to bring niger

Hmm! So his cousins and relatives, Boko haram and the bandits can now enter the country in style and luxury. I'm seriously beginning to suspect if that guy is actually Buhari!🤔

I can see vividly and clearly that there is an selfish agenda towards this decision. I guess MR PRESIDENT want to bring the AL-MAJERIS from there to Nigeria so as to cause us more trouble. There is God ooooo...

I imagine the type of leaders we have in NIGERIA and it baffles me the way they think and even act. How on earth do we need railway to NIGER REPUBLIC when the entire economy of our nation is in a mess. We never have one railway in Nigeria, you're building one to NIGER REPUBLIC.

Rail should have been through Benin to Ghana better economic routes with bigger economies. What about seaports? Nigeria loses much due to lack of seaports, expensive & delayed clearing of goods. If Nigeria has many seaports, we'll be clearing containers for others & get revenue.

Same Niger that has over 3 functional refineries while we await Almighty Dangote refinery that FG wants to dictate his price . Amaechi , well done oo . Failed government pata pata

All of you that is complaining did you not vote for change so enjoy it don't go out to protest don't fight for your country just enjoy it sit at home be using your data to complain very soon buhari will sell Nigeria to one Africa country.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wonder why the Seme and Idiroki borders were closer? Read between the lines ppl

Effort to get the north Independent of the crude oil of the south. The goal of the rail is to help transport crude oil from Niger to a proposed refinery to be build in the boarder town of Niger and kastina. But all is to fund............

Have they finished the ones connecting Nigerian states?

MBuhari ProfOsinbajo DrAhmadLawan femigbaja GarShehu ZShamsuna AsiwajuTinubu what economic benefits will it to bring to Nigeria economy?instead I think it make more sense to link to Ghana or Abia state!

If what economic value if we can't link it up with our own population

Are Fulani people in Niger? The answer should give you some insight .

We don enter am.

Why should Buhari approve a $1.9bn (close to N1 trillion) for Kano to Maradi, Niger Republic rail line when many more viable rail lines within the country are dead and forgotten. How could a country be borrowing to fix infrastructure of another country?

And they can't pay Asuu....which Kain madness be this....

At least, link the whole Nigerian states before giving us away to the Niger Republic. This is an apparent misplaced priority.

What about abuja to Lagos railway promised to be completed by last year December

Bubu..... You are doing well. Carry go! Naija people... Oin! Let's be speaking English until we become strangers in our own land!

Can you see this man,how many of Nigeria city have railway,what a pity

This is total rubbish.....inside Nigeria we still lacks railways....we better stop it

Niger Republic? We haven’t finished connecting Nigeria herself and we connecting Niger Republic

How can we hike fuel price only to approve such amount for a rail line to Niger Republic? It seems the powers that be has strong affinity to non-Nigerians than We in the south. We are finished in this country,

My goodness!!! Have we covered Nigeria?

Intra rail projects have not even been done with all the commercial activities going on in our states. This government, them swear for una .

Please, what is our offense in Nigeria?

This clueless man never seizes to remind us he is from Niger Republic.. there is no railway in the country but he is focused on building railway to another country.. height form of cluelessness

FG 🤔 always misplacing priorities...what a shame. Roads are bad all over the country, internal rail services is almost zero, yet they want to play big man to other nations. FG...e o gbádùn.

Is PMB now the president of Niger Republic?

Why are we bringing more Nigerians to Nigeria?

Has he link all States in Nigeria?

Seem Buhari is from Niger Republic. I still want to know the economic implications of contructing the railways to Niger republic when Nigeria will make more money expanding the railways to vaible areas of Nigeria.

Nigeria jaga jaga🎹🎹🎼🎶

What about rail from Lagos to the East? President of the North!

Good project ,but the north south rail project will generate fast and quicker revenue, if only we start looking inward

Of what economy importance is this to our dear country? 1.9billion dollars for good God sake. Chai

We elected a Fulani jihadist as president, a man who isn’t Nigerian by origin, a divider, this man is giving our lands to foreigners, let’s pray if not we are doomed!

If u like approve a the building of rail line to the end of the world we don't care, Biafra must be restored.

Fulanisation of Nigeria rebooting

Clueless government

Complete the rail projects within Nigeria first, that will help the transportation sector especially Lagos that is congested with traffic all the time.

borrowed money to pave way for terrorist to migrate easily to the country, a real clueless government indeed.

This guy BUHARI has sold Nigeria to his real country of origin which is Niger republic.Who needs to go to Niger why not to Ghana or Togo Republic which connected to Southern Nigeria. Buhari thinks Nigerians are stupid and when will the Nigerians let him know otherwise.Train to ?

NewDawn9Ja More debts ?

Just continue approving while holding k jk people’s salary. You’ll meet God sooner or later.

What kind of problem and misplaced priority is this? Why is this man at his departure age hell bent on destroying Nigeria? Is that where his ancestors came from? WTF!

The one that beats me is the dilapidated road from Lagos,Benin to Port Harcourt the place where all the resources that sustain Nigeria are mined.Its the height of man's inhumanity to man.This money could have been better spent fixing that national shame of a road.

Who even voted this man

SE and SS saw this and ofcourse never gave this block head much votes but you see those from SW those ones that wanted Osibanjo to lead the economy while buhari fights corruption , they are the ones who made this awful decision to install this misfeasor..... sorry state !

Ah Niger republic?.?. When theres Ghana and other giant countries.. the agenda is clear sha.. Una well done!🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️

Wow!! And there is no single rail in the eastern part of Nigeria. Is Niger Republic more economically important than the east. Honestly, at this point, I am deeply enraged. Your nepotic tendencies are hateful and overbearing to the Eastern Nigeria. IIPOB in my mind right now.

😳

Easy transportation for fulani jihadists.

Are Nigeriens paying taxes in Nigeria? Are they trying to annex Niger to Nigeria just like someone sneaked a secular state into a religious organization? I can’t get dis so pls help me understand d modality for dis. Same Nigerienswho were attending his campaign!! WHATS NIGERIA?

This is utter madness! A rail track to Niger Republic does not make any sense.

This is an act of gbadunlessness and probably fazed

What is d importance of Niger Republic to Nigeria?

For what?

Of what importance is this?

Express to import more Fulanis

How viable is this rail line to Niger republic Given that majority of the inhabitants where the rail traverse are very poor, I wonder how and where in the world they would generate the money to fund the project.

What a wasteful project

I believe we owe GEJ an apology

More means of oil proceeds of exploitation smh.

AhmadGanga The Buhari we voted for has started paying the north

100% of that money was generated from crude oil exports from the south, however, those oil producing communities are suffering from serious environmental degradation.

Now some people are million naira richer again..

When there are many deplorable roads in the country! Really We've lost it it in this country.

Most commenters here can't just reason outside the box for once.. Anyway if you are from the South of Nigeria, it's time to wake up... Northerners are taking steps towards their own sustainability after the break up.. Believe it or not, it will happen, even sooner than later!

Building a Railway that connects Kano State in Nigeria to Niger Republic is as stupid and dumb than saying Buhari is a President in Nigeria! What is actually wrong with this miscreants we are call Politicians in Nigeria?

It is pitiable that some Nigerians still live in denial and are blind to what stares this project called Nigeria in the eyes. It might be slow but eventually, if Nigerians keep quiet and sponsor their demise.

Who in Nigeria goes to niger that we will need a rail line there? Are we okay in this country at all?

Don't panic! It's just an idea, probably won't happen in 10 years.

Joking country

To President Buhari, Niger Republic is closer to his heart and soul than southern Nigeria. Never before in the annals of rulership of this country, has one man been so divisive to Nigerians. We should all resolve that there shall NEVER AGAIN be such a president in Nigeria.

It is good to have train networks across international borders, from Contonu to Niamey from Kano to Zinder. But why does Nigeria purposely refuse to build infrastructure In the geopolitical zones in this country that have the passion for manufacturing and trade.

All these railway lines being built to Niger Republic both from Nigeria and Republic of Benin are or different widths or gauges. Meaning the country will be running two different railway network systems. For 40+ years what have they being discussing at ECOWAS?

This a pointer to something...now we know why people from that side believe they are 'Nijerians'

They protested against RUGA, Cattle Colony followed. They protested against Cattle Colony, Grazing Reserves followed. They kicked against Grazing Reserves, Visa Free and Gas Pipeline succeeded and eventually pave the way for Rail Project. I like the resilience and consistency.

Pls U people shud allow d old donkey wit tough skin 2 do whatever he likes so that wen someone frm d south start implementin policy 4 Settlement 4 pig farmers across d country, rail frm South up 2 Gabon, appointment service chiefs & juicy offices 4 southerners nobody shud talk o

Come, who is this man in the first place ?

Another white elephant project

Another strategy to collect funds from World bank

Sai an gani kuma

And you will tell me this man doesn't have an agenda to endanger this country?! Of all places to connect a rail line to, to where Boko Haram is coming from?! Why not Ghana?! Why not other peaceful countries?!

Cursed be the day this president was re elected as president of Nigeria.. Cursed be those who elected him.. Cursed be the elected...!!!

Started from the bottom now we here - Drake

Where is the position of the South East all this while in our rail projects? Is this a case of charity begins abroad? Secondly, is Niger really of more economic relevance than the coastal frontiers of Benin Republic, Ghana and others where the borders remain perpetually closed?

Sometimes the decision this government makes baffles me

Buhari is going somewhere🙄 Rail to Niger afterward it would link Sudan😳🙄 Please can someone convince me that bubu isn't from Sudan?

Our government are just looking for another excuse to loot our money. We have better projects that can fetch more money than this.

😭😭😭 This is the dumbest thing I've seen so far

Pls this government should outline the economic benefits of spending tax payers money on this project

Tirrrr!

Oh baba Buhari our beloved president we that have your interests of leadership we tanks for all mighty Allah and give you the strength to take this nation forward. mobile punch view

From Nigeria to Sudan,omosetan omonrele.

What's the economic importance of that to Nigeria?

Can there be anything more clueless like this regime?

Not Lagos to maiduguri, or to Kano, of what economic benefits is it to Nigeria

And this same min of transport, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi said that the south east was excluded from the federal govt railway plan because there aren't enough funds to execute that now the same federal govt has approved funds to build a railway to another country 'what an irony'

OUKtweets NniaNwodo Can you use your head for once? They commissioned an uncompleted Enugu airport and you were jumping like a baboon, as your only concern is Igbo presidency. God have mercy on you.

Oh thou foolish man,who has bewitched you.

Why Niger pip

$1.9bn to link up with a country that contributes only $5bn to world trade....Buhari na just cruise & Abasi mbok🤲🏿😅😅

Fulani supremacist..... what a man!!!! Smh

The south will definitely fund the project.

Right before our eyes, Buhari is using our funds to build his country of origin

GoziconC Your man is doing well.

A waste .

GEJonathan you do well but you see your life?

Lol we no get good road and we are doing railway to Niger republic. God why Nigeria of all the country in the world. Ehh you no see Ghana or even South Africa

They are preparing their exit road...after finishing Nigeria....they'll zoom off to Niger...catch them if you can..oloriburuku set of government.

I can hardly understand this... Why the rail to Niger Republic, what is wrong with this govt. People are complaining of excess billing and rates of electricity and this one is approving nonsense. Na country be this?

Shey baba won dey sell e cow to niger republic, cos dem won start University DT go dy teach locomotion for daura abi wetyn dey sup sef ... Ole ni everybody

Another waste of resources...

The only way out of all this mess is to divide Nigeria buhari has shown that he has no business with the Igbo's and we Yoruba's 97% of his cabinets are Hausa's What has Igbo's and Yoruba's have benefited from Buhari government Tinubu is a disgrace to south-west!!!

In as much as we have brilliant minded Nigerians so do we have millions of educated morons as citizens and they are being helped in their foolery by the belligerent herds media.

The worst part is no amount of curses and swears will affect this people Especially this man 😩😭😭😭😭

Eh eh! International rail line? Okay o.

And there is no rail road in the SE states of Nigeria but here we are connecting rail to another country. The worst it’s that they are taking loan to build it while most part of the country haven’t even been develop or see FG presence in years. 1 🇳🇬 my 🦶 🤣😊😂

Wallahi Sai Baba.

If this is true and we don’t go out first thing tomorrow morning to protest then Nigeria is dead and gone

People go begin dey cry for project u won’t know if they will even complete

MaziNnamdiKanu

MBuhari ProfOsinbajo You owe Nigerians an explanation on the details of this arrangement. We must understand why it's more feasible to get this track up than that of Lagos-Calabar line. akandeoj toluogunlesi kindly brief us

Niger Delta be asking for railway since 1900.

Wow!! Something is being smoked in aso aso rock

This happens when an extreme jihadist is a president. Next rail will log to mali and libya. Nonsense

If them like make the borrow build rail to China

Is Lagos to portharcourt and Abuja a joke to this guys

Sai baba🙌🏽

What is the economic benefits ? I never see , tufiakwa

I've revised most perceptions under this tweet and I realised above 70% of them don't get the fact that this is just a headline, the rail line was primarily meant to connect some states within Nigeria before it gets to Niger Republic. Please make some research for more details.

follow me, ifb

Can they approve anyone that's Eastbound ? Biko

Nigns r askn of what Economic benefit is this rail line to Niger Repub..😂 It's right before ur Very Eyes ple: TERRORISM IMPORTATION Fulani Herdsmen BH Bandits Kidnappers All wud hv access to Nig all expenses paid By Nigns. D Gloves r off!! Buhari is done wit pretendn.

How can we uninterested Nigerians leave the country? Please be honest

We no get good roads to take move from state to state and this guy dey do rail to Niger? Who we offend for this country? Because this no be ordinary hand o

Have FG thought of consequences of this development? What if insurgents use this opportunity to penetrate into the country

'The rail line will connect 3 states: Kano, Katsina & Jigawa. It moves from Kano to Dambatta, Kazaure, Daura, Mashi, Katsina, terminating in Maradi, Niger Republic. This financially empowers Nigeria as the import/export hub for Niger.'

Badagry to cms is still moribund.. This Country is a joke

Lol ride on Sai Baba, The dumbest of all the president all over the World.

Did they mean to write Niger Delta?

Thank God is not Sudan but why Niger Republic

Seriously!

Misplaced priority: Is this what we really need now? Our roads are bad and nothing is been done concerning it, Fg is just shading itself amongst foreign countries while we're left to suffer. Imagine Benin to warri which was formerly 45mins drive has now turned 7hrs😢. God help 😣

You will soon know the reason for this inter country railway

This man want to turn this country to Fulani nation ......oga o

Nice we can now easily import Boko Haram into the country by rail Also we can import Fulani herdsmen terrorists too They don't have to walk miles anymore Nice one Bubu You doing well

PDP wake up and attack your opposition just like they did during the time of Jonathan

why is it so difficult for Africa leaders to love their father land and have the interest of their people... Why all this mismanagement?

😂😂😂

Waste of resources when there are better things to spend our money on. Is Niger Republic now part of Nigeria? Have you fixed rail transportation to every nook and cranny of this country before extending it to another country?

Someone should tell the president that this is not good. Rail line from Lagos to portharcout via onitsha- is far better. Both tangible and intangible benefit of rail project to niger is far less than even half of the cost of the project.

I am struggling to fathom the economic importance of this project to Nigeria

This decision by the FG get as e be sha...

Who is going to Niger republic or is people ,Nigerians that keen on going to Niger republic? All this misplaced priority.

What are the economic benefits of this investment. Wonder shall never end in naija

Eyaaa!!!! Nigerians sorry for our future. One single good road we don’t have.

Who wants to go to Niger? Nigerians who do business within West Africa State are Suffering do to Nigeria Border closure, bad policies has crippled our economy and you're approving a rail project to Niger. What do we stand to benefit from Niger MBuhari ?

Borrowed again as usual?

I am highly disappointed... If you find your way out of this country never come back...

Fool me once, it is on you, fool me twice, then it's on me. Next elections, i want to see how some foolish people would still vote for this crazy party

Buhari must be building economy & trade of d Northern Nigeria preparatory to BREAK UP of Nigeria. This will fail as $billions oil prospecting failed becos it isn't done fairly. Other things done in ds stead will crumble. Soutern States dy'll turn to for bail out. Our God is just.

The agenda is getting clearer! Until we rise up and stop all these! It will keep happening.

Abi monsu ni.. what is economy benefit of this to us as a nation ?

Money Good oooo Baba Buhari get pinks lips abi na only me dey see hamm?

Borrows money from another country to contruct rail way to another country... Meanwhile 1 bag of rice na full minimum wage for our country 😂

No comment! Na look we dey look them.

I follow back

Someone should please whisper to him that Nigerians are not Nigeriens. The economic benefit is 0% compared to spending Nigeria money on a railway project from Lagos-Abuja, Kano to Abuja or Anambra to Àbuja. This is no no economic benefit to Nigerians, aside those from there

This is not necessary now ffs.

Nigeria is building railway to Niger Republic while some parts of Nigeria have none.

To create easy access for prospective Boko Haram members.

Gana said fulanis took him to Niger Republic and they negotiated how they can capture 4 states in Nigeria. Buhari approves $1.9bn rail line to Niger Republic... Meanwhile buhari boycott South East, FG appointment.

Hmmmm

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

$1.9 Billion ! Meanwhile no steady electricity and good federal roads !

Wow only NIGERIA can do this nonsense

People are dying of hunger and hardship, u are talking rail line🤔🤔

We don’t have senate, if we do this frivolous spending that’s not economically grounded won’t see the light of the day

Nigerians see your leader😂😂😂

Toh

I think this is a good idea. It’s a great prospect for business

Audiomatic projects

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!

Why y’all worried his build up his country where he came from originally

ayemojubar They’re still approving? Jesu!

If Buhari doesn't know, his Ministers don't know how bad Nigeria economy is? What will Nigerians benefits from Niger Republic with such amount approved for just rail line?

A railway line linking Dutse-Kano-Katsina-Jibia-Maradi has this headline? Seriously? Obviously, writers haven't heard of the LAKAJI corridor - or just choose to continue to be mischief makers, making dumb people dumber.

Niger Republic is now part of Nigeria. When there are states in Nigeria without functioning rail line

My ppl said the person that will buy you clothes you will check the ones he's wearing it is enough rails in Nigeria before extending to neighboring states Nigeria check your self I hailed.

What economic benefits or impact will this project have or add to Nigeria.

So that Boko Haram can transport weapons easily to Nigeria

A very foolish thing 😂😂😂

Honestly, this government has ridiculed us a a joke. This shall not stand no matter how they try.

When Jesus wept in the bible, he was actually weeping for Nigerians...😢😢😢😤😤😤😤😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Rail to Niger republic? Can anybody explain the economic value of this project to me please? Watin we wan dey travel go Niger republic go do?

next time when you see this kind of news, don't share with us, please don't.

What is going on in Niger Republic

Abeg make una yarn them to approve ASUU bills too nau. Abi make I go buy SARS form?

ayemojubar 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Buhari kuku sell us Abi e wo ni palapala 🤦

Abeg what is wrong with this country. What business do we have with Niger. The Senate should move for the impeachment of this man. We have had enough already.

ayemojubar what kind of Leaders do we have with dead mental cells, you have not finished connecting your internal country rail lines, to boost internal state movement. where did we offend this man for Christ sake?

This is unbelievably crazy 😢

Welcome development.

This is the road linking to states but here goes my FG..

We have not full protected rail line from abuja to kaduna, we are doing to niger Republic... Buhari, what is in niger Republic? How much is niger Republic bring for Nigeria?

This is sad. How this man gets away with these actions worries me, considering that there is hardly any good roads connecting the rest of Nigeria

All the people that voted this man into power should be enjoying his leadership by now, when we are saying that nothing good will ever come out from this man, they called us wailers, today what is happening? We should stop complaining and enjoy our next level.

Meanwhile, I buy lots of gift card and bitcoin every day at the best market value...Whatapp +1 7123212686 NO scam zone

What is the economic impact of Niger Republic to Nigeria for a rail of 1.9bill dolz

Low is an inexistent word with this government.

Of what economic value is this ? Buhari sef ,

Someone should remind me why this man is in power

You can see the agenda already!

ayemojubar Only rail here and there and none has been completed. No hospital 🏥 no school 🚸. WHAT A SHAME FOR busari abi na buhari AND HIS MOTHERFUCKING TEAM!!! 00.0 over 100 ratings.

To where? God, how did i get here?

Are you still in doubt of fulanisation of your so called one Nigeria?

When we don’t have electricity, all of una Dey craze 😊

ayemojubar To ancestral home! Interesting

What a wasteful one-sided administration!

Probably taken us back to where them want us to go

Are they finished work on Nigeria own before starting another country

There's a urgent need for me to disassociate myself from this country.

It's a preparation for economic edge for the north since true federalism/ restructuring is inevitable. They know what they are doing.

Charity begins at home.

So many town and villages has no electricity, water, roads, hospitals. Why did we have to spends such huge amounts for the benefit of another country

A foolish person, is he, who will say 'I am a technocrat', 'politics is a dirty game' and run away from it, then turn around to take orders or seek favor from political office holders. He's just like a fool, who describes the Earth as dirty, then get fed by it's food.

Niger Republic? So that all their Fulani brothers can now come by train.. you have not approved rail way line round your country Nigeria, you are approving it to Niger Republic. Nigeria in a sorry state..

Understandable. Charity they said begins at home

Buhari is spending our scarce resources to empower his Fulani tribesmen across Africa

Nigeria no longer belongs to Nigerians

How do you explain this please

Na wa o... Dear God please have mercy on us. This punishment is too much😭

To complete the agenda of creating a thoroughfare for fulani entrance into nigeria after Visa on arrival failure. Next, will be to link niger to guinea, senegal and cameroon.

Wow we've developed our country so much we taking it to Niger!

What a misplaced priority! Nigerian economy is down, fuel pump price and electricity tariff increased while other Nigerians are wallowing in abject poverty. Of what use is rail line to Niger Republic while many parts of Nigeria are not connected?

Constructing a rail line to Niger Republic with a borrowed fund from China, that will be serviced with the resources of the unborn Nigerian children...is the 8th wonders of the world! What is the economic value of this project? Why Niger? Buhari

Confused set of people

This man don Dey fat o.

This should be resisted,unfortunately we have a rubber stamp National Assembly

What is breaking about it

For what? Is Niger Republic in Nigeria What's this nonsense

Am short of words,wat is wrong with this people!

Wetin we dey carry Railway line go do for Niger Republic?

Cocky Bastards 😂🤦🏿‍♂️

What will be the benefits of this for goodness sake Nigerians must get sense by force

Waste of priority

For more inflow of bokoharam

Probably because it will never get built and I can bet my life of it got started it would never be completed.

Good development, at least Boko Haram would have a better route to follow. Third time is sure for Buhari (4+4+4)

Hahahaha What a country 😂

Sad. It should be noted that South East was excluded from the ongoing railway networks in Nigeria. Yet, the FG is extending railway line from Kano to Niger Republic.

Does this mean that Buhari want to use train cruise to Niger 🇳🇪 and see his cows? Nigeria rails are not yet functioning and he is talking about taking it to Niger

Rails across different states in Nigeria are not yet functional and Buhari is approving money for rail to Niger. Of what economic value is it to Nigeria?. It is frustrating being a Nigerian under Buhari.

This is the content! why is the headline somehow

Our industries, source of materials and the markets are not interconnected but we are connecting Nigeria to Niger.. issokay

Naija got the leaders it deserves. Period. Chaaaaaaange. But they failed to know that there are many types of 'change.' Nigerians won't even learn anything from what is happening now because they have short memories. They will still repeat the same mistakes by 2023. Mtchewwwwwww

Niger Republic? What is happening in Niger Republic that we need a rail line for? The only positive of Buhari as president is that hopefully Nigerians will learn not to vote clowns into office

Forget, Niger are part those who voted for him, nobody will tell me otherwise.

Cluelessness. What do we stand to benefit from Niger?

What a time to be alive🤗

Here is the prediction- bandits will take over the train, Robb and continuously slaughter innocent souls until you've no option than to abandon the rail line. Nothing strives with insurgency. What economic outcome does a rail line to Naija republic bring to the table?

Only a dunce feeds his neighbor while his family is hungry....

Opening easy route for more bandits.

Connecting their country with our country, it is ok !

Building rail line to bring in weapons, Nigerians be ready.

Man yi go gan ni fa

U ppl should pls fix do badagry road before the train to Niger republic. Plsss🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😔😔😔😭😭😭😭

Lol why do we need a rail to Niger republic? Smh baba na wa o

Presidency abi FG approve $1.9n rail line from kano to Niger Republic, that's fulani for you, people with watery brain.. Nigerians keep on enjoying una change

This is important for our farmers too... having a railway corridor in West Africa's Cereal Basin would increase profit and boost trade sha.. This report is as far back as 2006 and it highlights the importance of this corridor to agriculture

I don't even know what else to say... It is well sha

Misplaced prior

Nigeria as a country is a very big scam

Hahahahaha 🤣 Nigerians ntooor! Ôkwa CHANGE ka unu chôô, néé ûnû néé CHANGE! NigerRepublic

Fake

Sai Baba!

Why Niger Republic, what would be there economic benefits to us, why not Ghana? These things are beginning to connect o? Home is Home!

Bad reportage

Local rail lines have not been fixed, We are awarding international contracts. Hmm

We're dead

Thank you Baba Buhari.

Misplaced priorities......smh🤦🏻

Getting there slowly, everyone should go and learn French 😊

The agenda of this man Buhari is only known to his people alone as it’s dysfunctional railing to a neighborhoring country without obvious economic advantage while we leave Lagos, the cash cow of the economy,to suffer.What business do we have of significant economic value in Niger

BUHARI needs to borrow brain from Trump and Maicron👌 There is no rail line that connects south east and south west or south east and Northern part of the country but you connect rail line to Niger republic. What a waste of resources👌

The decisions of this FG sometimes makes me weep.

Why not construct rail line from Lagos to Benin Republic? Waste of resources

Baba dey construct his way to his true home.

Which kind of human being is this?

Good move, it will reduce the cost of transporting Cows to Nigeria from Niger, meaning the price of Cows will reduce and there will be plenty of beef for everyone 😁

Toh📌

What is Niger bringing to the table?

To relocate finally 🤔

Hmmm

There must be some economic benefit to this. Nigeria has not been fully connected by rail and we are doing one that leads to Niger.

Mismanagement of public funds.

Wel done Baba you are doing great,your country is dying for poverty and hunger but you can still borrow money to help another country .Sai Baba Bhari

Hmmmm

But no metro in lagos

Mibayo Who’s going to Niger from here fgs?! Lagos is still drunk and agog with traffic and we no get rail line. These guys are clowns no cap

With Loann!!!!!! Besides Who asked for rail we asked for stable light this government is a big joke

What exactly does Niger Republic contributes to Nigeria?

Can we shout this one Nigeria out loud again? One naija my freaking fiit

This is the answer oct1strally Oduduwa Republic and Biafra Republic. Peacefully exiting 🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️

You no like connect train to Brazil?

Please what do we need to get at Niger Republic?

Our senators are just der for nothing. Of what economic benefit is dat railway to Nigel. Nid na achi Nama

femigbaja Is this the representation of the people's needs?

Many parts of Nigeria presently don't have a railway system, yet you MBuhari wants to build rail line to Niger Republic. I'm trying real hard not to abuse or insult anyone who advises you. Or did you come up with this yourself? What will be the economic benefits of the line?

Why?

When Nigerians haven't been serviced!? What's the economic importance of that line to Nigeria? What's the value of trade between Nigeria and Niger Republic, especially in that axis? I hope that's the part they'll cede to China following default?

Ok

They said GEJ was clueless, however, I think PMB is just clueless but insensitive to sufferings of Nigeria. PMB must not be allowed to complete his tenure in 2023. His continuous stay in office is a disservice to Nigeria.

You closed the borders down south with economic benefits but building rail to terrorist haven.

Nigeria needs Lagos to Aba railways to burst economic activities.

Why?

I told people that the rail project is being prepared to ship terrorists in large numbers down south overnight. Now it's making sense. But a good govt have the potential to put it to good use.

Nigeria go soon scatter, Buhari is just preparing his people for the future.

MBuhari Oga sir Lagos-Ibadan is hell it needs completion since you were military president!!!!!

DO WE ACTUALLY HAVE SENSE IN THIS COUNTRY.. RAILWAY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY

What is wrong with the Federal govt of Nigeria? Lagos badagry expressway that leads Nigeria to about 5 West African countries is in shambles and you guys are mulling the idea of a rail line to Niger Republic?

Question and Answer time. Q: Why Niger? A: It is because they produce rice and cassava so we can import from Nigeria by train Q: But you closed down boarders, why would you import from the North A: The current food in Nigeria won't be enough

We don't have any functional rail to the eastern part nor do we have functional rail within the country, how many people go to Niger republic?what's the economic value of this rail to the populace. Total waste of tax payers money

Misplaced priorities Everytime ...How would the construction of a rail line to Niger republic boost the economy...shame!!!

But we have always known he is not a full Nigerian, he has family ties with Niger.

This is their strategy to rig the 2023 election for a northern candidate, next Nigeria’s president MUST come from the south.

No be small thing

Homecoming rail line

Is this the best of use of our $1.9bn? Why are we spending so much to connect to the same country we're shutting our borders against? ProfOsinbajo NigeriaGov toluogunlesi

Unbelievable so this's how this government are wasting Nigeria money just because of their Muslim. brother from the Niger Republic, God dey ooo

Buhari biko NigerianLivesMatter

Are there no senators from the south? What is the job of the National Assembly members from the south? I can't take this insult. Let's go to court.

Mad government

Noted

To where?!!😩😩😩

Buhari is building railway in his home country. He never believed in Nigeria and I don’t blame him, I blame those that formed Nigeria and other African countries at the Berlin Conference.

With bulk of the revenue coming from the NIGERDELTA AND LAGOS

I give up.

Have you guys completed the Badagry road to Benin rail project?

The rail is more needed in commercial West African countries like Ghana not Niger republic that can be notorious for terrorists.

Cojones..

This man is handling Nigeria like his property anything goes no senate to question him his decision is final this is buhari’s democrazy

Wonders shall never end. Why carry Nigerian resources to Niger. Are all the states in Nigeria properly connected and accessible with good roads? No, trains are needed in most cities in Nigeria but just few are running. We keep borrowing 💰 but we have enough for Niger?

development of the proposed rail line linking Kano-Dutse-Katsina-Jibia and to Maradi in Niger Republic.

Total Madness, who is advising this government? 😡😡

Mama_ Mia, it is finished! Take it or leave it!!

U see why ASUU dy vex?

Meanwhile see our own rail station! Wtf is wrong with this country? Do you nee more photos? Nigeria is DOOMED 😢😢

Daft government 🙆🏾🤦🏽

More Avenue for terrorist invasion 👏👏

QuotedReplies

To another country that adds nothing to Nigeria rather than insecurity...

The economic importance os for eady cattle tranportation and migration of the real owners of niger ria

It is like PMB has been cursed, this clueless man truncated mass transit light rail in Lagos But he is will to trow the Nigerian border opened to link up with his fulani siblings in Niger Republic shame on this neposic bunfoolery

It appears Niger is an essential part of Nigeria that must be reunited asap.

Make una chill, dem don build the rail yet. Sebi na to chop the money, who tell una say these ones are building anything

sarcapo32 look into this

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Amaechi don hammer 🤑🤑🤑 we go dey sense by force 🙆🙆🙆

Nigerians STOP THIS ADMINISTRATION NOW

To do what in niger republic so if this money is invested or pumped back into the economy will this government die I kind of wonder who is advising this men what is really the problem?

We have porous borders, Terrible identity scheme and a huge imbalance of migration with Niger and we are building even more avenues for detrimental migration.

Why Niger Republic?

Looooooooooooooooool This should be the only response because 🤪🤯

I’m nt a buharist but be4 u cry under dis trend .....try nd know d reason for this rail construction

Anybody who takes Buhari seriously has more of the joke him/herself.

For what economic reasons at this time?

Good investment, this goes a long way in ensuring that northerners remain in power (president) as every presidential election will see a massive influx of ppl from Niger republic to the country to vote for the northern aspirant.

Baba oooooo

Why?

Niger Republic has a gdp of 9.2 billion. We are about to build a bridge of 1.9 billion dollars. That's 20% of their entire gdp. Yet second Niger Bridge that connects 2 regions and is nowhere near that amount is taking ages to build. Economic Sabotage!!!!!

Of what economic benefit is this

Are this people okay? There is no rail in Nigeria you are connecting rail to Niger.

Niger Republiccc? Nigerian states are not even rail interconnected yet and someone is approving rail line to Niger Republic. This would be ease of access for terrorists or if you like, you can call it 'Terrorists Migration made easy' Misplaced Priority! Sinister Priority.

What?

Seriously what do we need it for

Great initiative... thank you Mr President 🙏🙏 Now let’s push it to Cotonou, Togo , then Accra

You guys think say buhari daft, he knows what he’s doing, that guy is a snake.

Kindly Engage 🤲🏼

It's like Buhari is actually from Niger Republic

NwokeAba If we don't get our data management system at a 100% by the time this project is done we are finished!

Easy movement for terrorist and arms. Wehdone MBuhari

Lol

I think this is a great development!

Thank you mr president

Nah I’m finished What did I do to deserve Nigeria my father in heaven 😭😭😭😭😭

I only pity people in APC who thinks Buhari cares about them or their ambitions. He’s PRO FULANI. You people are being used in APC

We are yet to build rail lines from the eastern industrial corridor (Aba, Nnewi & Onitsha) to the western industrial base & major market hub (Ibadan, Agbara, Otta & Lagos), but Buhari led FG wants to build a railway to Niger Republic. Wonderful!!! What did I say? Wonderful!!!

Lmaoooooo. This government hates its own people.

What's in Niger Republic please

Waoo good one, trust it will bring in more Fulanis to Nigeria during and after election and subsequently become Nigeria president.

Where dis guys dey dig up all this money abeg

I just want to understand the economic importance of this project.

Applause !!!

Lol. Niger Republic.

D_Probity01 Sai Baba!!

Not the best economy viable Benin, Togo and Ghana.

Anything to make life easy for his fellow herdsmen

Una no dey shame.

I did this?.. Dear Nigerians, I know it might be hard to believe but please believe me. Its not what you all think, I can explain.... I am truly equally as shocked as you all are. I swear! 🤞

JohnEdidiongEdw The BMCs definitely has an explanation for this. I'm waiting for them

First, schools in 2014 by a certain governor; next, a railway to Maradi (an extension of the preDaura kingdom). Now, another railway line that does not benefit us meanwhile, themost viable route (SS/SE) is told to source for funds for theirs. Problem is free access to oil wealth

I honestly don’t know why some people especially the southern people of Nigeria still believe in one Nigeria. Language unites. Any country without a unified indigenous language is bound to fail. I stand to be corrected.Obviously this government feels at home with Niger than Igbos

Ibi te ba jaye de Aye o mope e jeun Aye oni faji Kele le Aye oni faji Ke lele💃💃🕺🕺🕺

Does this government ever think out there priorities and focus on them with the presumed little resources we have. What can this rubbish project mean?

Kasa

Why ?

Ok

Best president ever!

Who travels to Niger republic for goodness sake We haven't finished or completely approved rail lines across all the states in Nigeria.. You now want to go outside Nigeria..

Why is there no train from Lagos to Calabar through Benin? Why is there no train from Ibadan to Owerri through Warri? Why is there no train from Jos to Asaba through Auchi? Why is Buhari concentrating Nigerian commercial infrastructures across the border of Northern Nigeria?

For what o my God. This man are you from that side?

Yeah right... That is all we need in this country! Since all our people are rich and happy why not build a railway to make it easier for Boko Haram to invade...

This is a free pass for Fulani militias. RIP Nigeria.

What is happening to Nigeria 😭

Las las na yahoo I go learn... Like south africans mxm.

The road to his country. Senseless somebody

To connect with more fulanis

Part of the Islamisation agenda....

Niger ke are we going to prospect for oil

inc051 Mr buhari is a fowl✌️

This is just an Express entry for fulani headmen and boko haram

😂🤣😂😔🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️

Just imagine. What is the economic important of that rail to the country. What economic tone do we have with Niger republic. This is the result of electing dead men to government

What is the economic value of the project? Many viable economic parts of Nigeria are not connected to rail services.

😂😂😂 free access for boko haram. Wow

This una president sef

I can't imagine how many times Govt will have to pay ransom to free the workers that will carry out the project from the camp of Boko Haram? The project will cost us much more than $1.9bn.

Railine is yet to reach very important parts of Nigeria but Buhari has approved one that will lead to Niger republic

See ehn...at this point, I go just dey cruise this country anyhow I see am...Biko🙄

One Nigeria my foot

Wtf man.... The arms smuggling from niger is not enough?

Railway for cattle carriage nah🚃. The president is very passionate about cattle and their movement. You're doing well sir.

Niger Republic? While there is no rail connecting the South East to the rest of the country. These people know their priorities anyway

Moron... Nigerians in their droves deserve what they're getting from this government... Even those complaining here also voted for this fulani cow the 2nd time. You get served what you deserve... karma is truly a bitch.

This man is so interested in his agenda. They don't believe in one Nigeria,.

What's our business with niger republic ? This man is the biggest misfortune in the history of Nigeria.

Nigeria - Niger. The rail line is needed to ensure smooth transition and transportation of expatriates from the abroad. Cotonuo-Lagos border is of no economic benefit, it remains closed. Too much sense!

This government has no direction. Kai

No rail lines linking any part of SE to any part of Nigeria. Let's link Niger Republic first. Sai Baba! We thank you for the 2nd Niger bridge of life!

Where is peterobi daveumahi ugwuanyi WillieMObiano govikpeazu Nwado politicians from Biafra land common Enugu airport talkles our raod laod don't forget all this money is coming from Biafra land

To Niger Republic? 🤔... Ok now I am confused too 😳.

When we don’t even have rail line across the country. See his Islamic plans to build a rail line to a different country yet he has non leading to his home town. Something is happening

After closing the land boarders

Misplaced priorities. Waste of borrowed resources. Bunch of wicked and wasteful people. How will this benefit the nation.

Who did this to us

This government continues to clamour that there is no money. Can't existing projects be concluded first before venturing on this elephant task. Is this country not in enough debt ? Our generation ' It's not our fault, we tried our best . We are sorry for not doing anything '

Enroute to Sudan the origin.If you know you know

What is this nonsense?

😩

Who dey travel go niger

To do what exactly? Is this one mad or what? $1.9bn? Wón ti shepe fun gbogbo and all my the Buharists on my timeline.

Chinese loan?

And we're sure that a rail line from Niger to our currently congested ( even when not yet connected) will make Niger choose us because?... We don't have port congestion like Liberia.... Our territory is safer).... We have better looking countryside?

Nnamdi Kano once alleged that it's not Buhari but some impostor from Nigel, this seems to be convincing.

What business do we have with niger republic? And imagine we're even the ones paying. Please do rail from lagos to south south biko

Come who is advising this man...kai this is annoying

Our second father land abi

Do we need a rail line to Niger? Well, he wanna connect his people from Niger, cos that's exactly where he comes from. Home sweet home!

We will all complain on Twitter and keep quiet. I whopping 1.9 billion dollars

Wonderful!!!

Do we have enough rails within Nigeria?🤔

Honestly, this is a misplaced priority, we don't need this for now. As developed as Singapore & China, they have not link rail to neighboring country simply because they are yet to finish linking inter-state rail in their country. MBuhari this should be revised & drop for now

Oh Lawd! Which kind president be this? E never reach for this man to go rest! This is the height of ineptitude! 1.9 Billion Dollars to be paid by who? Some days to our Independence celebrations, this guy just retrogressed with high speed. How can we stop this?

Good samaritan 🙌🏻

Even the country doesn't have a complete rail system yet but you approve rail line to Niger. You're sick sir

To be complete in 2045

To bring in more fighters, perhaps? What's the economic benefit? This is insane. Unbelievable madness!

$1,900,000,000 X N450 = N855,000,000,000 N855 billion Naira for a rail line to Niger republic 😃

It should include cattle coach to transport the cattles to stop the migration of Herdsmen and rusters that are killing our people... Believing attention for Port Harcourt-Warri- Benin- Lagos will be addressed by successive governments

Shame on all the people that voted this man

Omo na boko haram go blow am up o 🤣

Did your representatives not joined in approval? Ask them.

Clueless.... So that more Niger residence can enter Nigeria right!.. Or how is this project going to affect Nigerian positively.....

You see how useless and stupid this government is,when Nigeria can't boast of modern railway,when the states in Nigeria needs it but don't have it, when we don't have good road network but they have money to waste building rail line to Niger,what happened to Nigerians first?

Welcome back home. Niger Republic to the world.

What are we looking for in Niger please? There are more economic activities with Benin Republic. This is an emotional decision. We don't need that rail 😭😭😭

By this singular act, the Buhari govt is making it possible for his kinsmen to flood Nigeria.

Borrow Billions of dollars from IMF and China,since this Nigerians are stupid, even though they have College Degrees and PhDs in economics it does not, let's Just take them on a Borrow-LootingSpree,Start a rail line in Jabi and end it at Niger . They'll call it development 🤡🤡

This headline is very misleading

Kii lanwa lonbe? I think this is either a dark twisted strategy or it is an exit strategy

To Niger Republic when there is no working rail in the East. There must be some hidden agenda of the Fulani's in Nigeria especially the Federal Government that they don't want us to know.

we laugh...

Bro enzo_uzor , tomorrow you'll be asking why the Igbos hate buhari, look at this, when there is no rail line connection these places to east.

Another plot to steal 🙄

We are not done connecting Nigeria , we are connecting Niger terrorist republic

Why?

Rail inside Nigeria has not be fixed, roads going worst because no alternative route for our heavy duty trucks. Now borrowing money to fund unnecessary project? God kill all these our bad Leaders and let there be peace in our Land.

Linking Nigeria to other landlocked countries by rail is a good idea but first we need to fix the once we have in Nigeria already, porthercourt to medugeri line and the proposed Lagos calabar line is very important.

What is the economic importance of Kano-Dutse-Katsina-Jibia and to Maradi in Niger Republic in comparison with Lagos-Benin-Asaba-Onitsha-Aba and to Port harcourt. Buhari is not interested in making the Economy better, he wants to reconnect Fulani nation.

what does NIGER produce? what economic benefit,or is it to make way easier for begger's and foreign herdsmen?

Where did the money come from? I thought Nigeria was broke.

Na wa ooo

What's happening there?

Please when will this end? We have been seeing approval upon approvals and I am personally tired of it!

This man is truly not a Nigerian? You can argue with your keypad.

🤔 Nkan bé

Criminals! Why won't you approve of it. Always serving your useless interests.

Misplaced priority

He is approving when most states in Nigeria doesn’t have a functional rail line or railway station

So more insurgents can have access and an Avenue to embezzle again

this government is a plague.

How can we be borrowing money to fund a project in another country even though they would say it's only to another country. Everything this government does appears clannish. Buhari is only moved by the interest of the fulanis and for this reason we must refuse the water bill.

Lagos Badagry still in coma.

Which kind government be this ?

I have never seen a senseless regime like this one,you borrow money to build a railway to Niger republic,who will repay the loan?

Hahahah and bukolasaraki said it ooo 😩😩😩😩 it is finished 😩😩😩 Miss_Aisha_AA come and see oo

Mr President how much money will you approve to repair Federal roads. Where lots of incidents are happing on the federal roads.

Useless FG how does this benefits a LOCAL MAN.

We know that majority of Fulanis are from Niger.

What is this

Agenda must agend!!

We have the South East and South South route to build rail lines to boost economic growth but this bokoharam party that knows nothing will disappoint you. Talking about priorities. Tueh!

What the fuck!

Wetin dey worry us for Nigeria sef

Those boys from Mali must enter by fire by force

We have not connected the major cities in Nigeria via Rail line,we're planning to connect to link to niger republic

WHY is it a priority? In the face of this depression? Then, why the claim that Nigeria is broke?

Such investment by Nigeria government with tax payer funds to another country. Please is Niger part of Nigeria? What's happening? Why such huge investment into another sovereignty? Some very drastic is going on here? Ppl are staving, economy is in shambles, now this? It's well

For reasons best known to them.... Like wtf

President Muhammadu Buhari, the twenty month jinx by Fani-Kayode ON FEBRUARY 23, 201712:10 PMIN VIEWPOINT

Imagine?No rail line connecting Nigerian cities but,this man wants to use Nigeria's scarce money to construct a rail line to niger republic,he really dares nigerians and doesn't rate is at all.

Amechiii ooooo

Why to Niger Republic when NIGERIA no GET Mr. President?

Niger where?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What! Is Niger republic annexed from Nigeria? Is there any rails connecting South South to South West, South East, North Central? What economic benefits is this going to have? One good roads has already being built from North East to Maradi in Niger rep. And why the rail now?

😂 😂 😂. iamNoble what is more corrupt than this?

And yet the east and southern parts of the country has none in good shape

He’s going home ?

How much is Etihad rail project from Abu Dhabi to Saudi 🙊🙊🙊🙊 Nigeria is gone

You see why Nigerians are truly worried, what model of economy are we building? Nigerian major cities are not yet connected but here we are headed to connect Niger Republic?

Only in Nigeria

Why did the government of Niger state rename the state Niger Republic? is it legal? is it right? We need to start asking our government questions.

It should reach Chad and Cameroon too

I lost hope on Nigeria as a country

To Niger?

WHY BUHARI’S GOVERNMENT FAVORS THE “REPUBLIC OF NIGER” OVER NIGERIANS- (CLEAR EXAMPLES) The Nigerian president Mohammadu Buhari has proved again and again that he is first a “Fulani man” before he is a Nigerian…

Make sense dákú. I wish we change the name to Islamic Republic of Fulani. I think we have everything in common. Just allow Oodua Republic get out of the wonderful union. It's very nice indeed. There's no train linking Nigeria effectively but we approved linking Niger. Ìlú Jogbo

Lmao 😂

Wetin we dey go do for Niger abeg🤦🏾

The Fulanis in Niger appreciate you. Kudos

Imagine the insurgents sitting comfortably from Niger to Nigeria using rail line just to cause havoc and destroy lives and properties.

Very beautiful project... Indeed Buhari is working tremendously....

Another misplaced priority. Lagos to Onitsha would have been a better deal.

As a result his allegiance lies with all Fulani(s) including the herdsmen living in the Republic of Niger and Chad. Tracking Buhari’s Ancestry to Niger Republic

Rail to Niger while our roads suffer undue neglect. No single rail in the East. South south roads are neglected by this same govt. This too shall pass.....

Nonsense.. house never belleful you dey carry food go outside

Hmm! Very soon our eyes go clear but e go don late

In 1985, at the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), Buhari reportedly voted for Ide Omarou from the republic of Niger as secretary general against an Igbo man Peter Onu from Nigeria

Cursed be the day Nigerians decided to elect this government into power.....so many places in Nigeria need railway..why are we going international when we are yet to.....u know what...let's just divide this country.

This is absolutely rubbish. 'There was a country' indeed.

We asked for change and here it is

FuThe government can build a rail to Niger Republic but the entire south east is neglected. This is economic war against the southeast. They want to completely cut the south east off from the nation's economy. No sea port, no functional international airport, no rail, no border

Na wa o What of ASUU What of schools on strike

How is this one breaking news again?

Waridis?

Their agenda is unfolding small small

Can anyone please enlighten me on all these Niger republic business? Even d Atiku manifestos mentioned Niger as a source of fuel. Is movement between Nigeria and Niger officially unrestricted?

As in seriously? Pls what's the economic benefit to Nigeria

Another waste of funds

International Highway that connects Nigeria to Benin republic is the worst I have seen on the West African international road route. That border generate astounding amount of money to this country but nah Niger better pass😁

I hope 'repentant' Boko Haram insurgents are not the target Market for this train.

😢

No rail line in d south east and south south but Niger republic. Apparently Niger republic indigenes are Nigerians.

A'won were

Buhari came to power to help/empower his follow fulani’s Nigeria matter is not his concern

Misplaced priority.

Buhari kukuma kee us in this country...... Rail way line to niger 🇳🇪 really🙁🙁

Buhari is most useless president i have ever seen unbelievable 😡😠.

To bring in more Boko Haram

Wonderful ...this is really weird and absurd

Terrorists import express rail.

When there isn’t a good working rail line across SE, even the one from Ph to Abia state lacks proper maintenance. This government sha.

Need to remove my earpiece, u say waytin

The rail line is important to enhance more voter registration. Alot of them have our NIN already. It has always been part of the plan.

The rail shoulda been from Ghana through Togo and Benin, instead. But Flanigan agenda must agend!!!

Emgine!! how this Catastrophe are all going?🤔🤔🤔

Brainless........................

Of what commercial value is the link between Niger and Nigeria that is more than the link between Lagos and the east?

DM me to get beautiful arts of your pictures, Please Retweet ♥️🙏🏻 I'm not Expensive

How will that rail line help Nigeria economy, we need to be asking questions They should just tell us they want it to pass Daura 😏

It takes N0.0K to retweet my hustle I make Quality Palm slide at the rate of ₦8,000 (pre-order 5 working days) free delivery within Lagos and Ogun WhatsApp:+2347054338486 Nationwide delivery✅

The man is from Niger 🇳🇪

How many years their will finish this project

Nigeria have no bases for contesting election in 2023 ask and I will explain. I am not a Christian, Moslem, gay, pegan, budist, cuminis, Judaism, Hindus, ogboni, or ekanka but I believe in resurrection.

Sincerely, I'm not surprised! He that was probably the agreement he had them to win the election. It's pathetic that Nigeria is so unfortunate! ☹

😂😂This government seriously need that Niger connection

Olodo in chief doing his thing...

Only in Nigeria will you hear....Is this what Ameachi is pushing to borrow more so that the fulani master plan can be actualised...This administration is not just clueless but visionless.

Pls can someone tell me the economic benefit of this project. This our Fulani president ( chief of the herdsmen) wants to bring the whole Fulani to Nigeria ooo.

When Nig is running infrastructural deficit on transportation across the country,Buhari led Govt is busy approving rail project to Niger Republic.This is misplacement of priorities &another avenue to siphon billions while the citizens keep on wallowing in poverty.

God! Nigeria is even yet to be developed.

While non is connecting Onitsha to Lagos nor Onitsha to Aba Let's make this trend EndMarginalization henryshield YulEdochie MaziNnamdiKanu ohaneze_ndigbo EricaNlwedim

His brothers. At least him remember home.

Nw u'll realise that Buhari isn't a Nigeria. To transport goods from Kano to Abuja, Ibadan to Lagos is hell, yet u approved rail to other country.

While southern borders are perpetually

Without adequate peace, security in the northern Nigeria all these rail lines are waste of money & plunging Nigeria’s future generation into debt. How would rail line successfully generate income to repay debt in the midst of Boko Haram & Bandits?

This is an impeachable offense.Why and how is Buhari get away with all these atrocities?

Haha rail to Niger to bring in multiple fulani and bandits?

Is that route more economically viable to the nation?

Lol, this project will be like, the East West road, them no dey finish am.

amourab Haha, what’s is the economic benefit of this investment to Nigeria 🇳🇬? On which sector is the Value for money of this spend?

kai, and we barely have roads and rail lines connecting the states in the country.

To Niger? Shit!

Hmmm... Nawaooo!!!

🎶ye paripa yeye yeye paripa 🎶🤫

What for?

Always awarding contract without completing any.

WTF

We too dey tolerate nonsense for this country sef. 😑

Lmao this man 🤣😂

This man really wants to link Nigeria to his original country.

Every state in Nigeria doesn't have a rail line but buhari is building rail line to his homeland. It's alright...

Please what is our gain as a country from Niger?... Next bridge will be to Chad or Mali...inter-counrty rubbish....

Useless president

FG government should approve the Lagos Calabar rail line too. no region in Nigeria should be exempted from this rail revolution.

Hehehehehehehe...no rail line from Josh to Abuja; none from Benue to Portharcourt and there is neither from Abuja to Lagos but rail to Niger Republic from Northern Nigeria is more important. Awøn aboshi. A ma wa alright

Backward government 😢🤧

Boko haram seat 4A 🤝 ISWAP seat 4B

But from lagos to Benin republic no way

The light weapons from Libya is causing havoc in the sahel region now the want to use rail to aid the distribution of the much heavier ones

How this one take help us, baba no approve money to build all federal road in the country, na niger republic baba wan go

We will discuss the economic benefits later. I thought our land boarders were closed.

When you are building bore hole for your villagers

No matter where you go oh, remember the road that leads you home ..... Baba dey construct road back to hin house .... retirement plan toh badt

Next is to link a rail line from Nigeria to Futa Jallon. I am not surprised the same Buhari voted for a candidate from Niger republic against a candidate from his country reason being that the candidate from Nigeria is an Igbo man and the candidate from Niger republic a Fulani.

We have not finished sorting our's internally now it's being extended To Niger republic, please just extend it to Canada abeg🙏

shittu10 I tot Nigeria is broke

Oh chimo! We have not finished connecting Nigeria, we are connecting to Niger Republic. They did say, many Nigerians are from there

TF is happening in Niger Republic?

foreigners ruling Nigeria!

If President Buhari was the President when oil boom era when crude oil was sold for $110/barrel for close to 5 years, Nigeria would have made more progress in building infrastructure than what we have now. Nigeria is presently earning little but he's still working. Thumbs up!

So we are done tackling all the bad roads and poor road network in Nigeria. Who do us like this na

What is the benefit of linking a rail line to Niger republic?. This is what you get when an ethnic Jingoist is power.

Unnecessary spending

What? Why not approve trains linking inner states within Nigeria before building any train to link Niger Republic?

New Rail line to ease access for Bandits. Yeh!!!! 💃🕺

Priorities 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Meanwhile southern borders are closed 😁😄😁

A weep for the future of the country...😥😥

This is a one way road to for terrorists to finally finished d northern Nigeria, i swear this man called buhari has no good intention for Nigeria.

FG hmmmmm , let me pass 🏃🏃🏃🏃

What is this man up to? No rail lines in the South-South and South-East. Even the South-West is not fully integrated. What exactly is the agenda? I don't smell a rat anymore. I smell an elephant... NGRSenate thecableng ClassicFM973 channelstv AIT_Online NigeriainfoFM

Arewa republic loading....

But Why?

Are you people done fixing inter states na another country una dey do railway go😒foolsss

OK.

To Niger Republic? Yet none to the South East. We're not yet serious

Brainless........................ For me, I will rather prefer such project across our Western coastline to Ghana etc....because those axis are somehow gentle than those up north with their aggressive nature. My opinion!

The Insurgent has always made their way through from Niger using bikes, now Nigeria is giving them rail to make transportation easier. Why not make rail from lagos to Ghana. Common sense is not common!

What are we looking for in Niger please? There are more economic activities with Benin Republic. This is an emotional decision. We don't need that rail

What is this insanity fgs🤦🏾‍♀️

Lol is this madness

In my opinion, we should sort out the railway line from Cotonou to Lagos... Thereby connecting Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria......

Omo another looot

Why ? When the ones inside Nigeria is not even covering every part of the nation yet

Attn: DavidHundeyin

Haaaaaaaa

When we haven't sorted upto 10% of internal rail line. What a foresight... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

And south east left behind . I think is time to define ourselves properly if truly Nigerian is our birthplace.

Of what benefit is this to the country at this material time?

Eeya! What shall we say to these things

Madness

How come? Niger?

No matter where you go, remember the road that leads you home BODE THOMAS 😂😂😂😂
