The decision by President Muhammadu Buhari's administration to build a $1.96bn rail line that will connect Nigeria to Niger Republic has been met with stiff rejection by Nigerians.Questioning the rationale behind the rail project, Nigerians on social media described it as misplaced priority.
@shagbastic said, “What do we have to do with Niger? Why so much money sunk into a rail line from Kano to Niger! The affinity of this administration with Niger is too glaring not to notice. Benue State which is the so called food basket of the nation has moribund rail transport!”
MBuhari Channelling railway to Niger republic it is on call for it is madness not thinking properly and wickedness in highs order
MBuhari That shows that the president does not care about anyone but himself Nigerians have no roads,no hospitals,no food etc people are dying by the day,he is increasing fuel and electric bill and has not thought to increase salary, good roads etc in the country he claims to be ruling
MBuhari Linking us to the Home of Boko Haram
MBuhari The money can be used for lot business to help curb unemployment but....
MBuhari Bubu is preparing for his retirement after 2023. Nigeria may be too hot for him by then.
MBuhari Let's not forget that some years back, Buhari voted in favour of a candidate from Niger Republic that contested with a Nigerian, history is repeating itself gradually.
MBuhari Where did the 1.5 billions come from? Have you asked yourselves?
MBuhari Funny thing with Nigerians is, you talk without action,if Buhari stands again for the election, you will still vote for him
MBuhari The project is linking up with his cousins in Niger Republic, remember they came over to Nigeria to help him campaign against Atiku
MBuhari Why not first creak to link up all the states b4 dis, no wonder d clueless...
Its illegal. Niger Republic ought to pay for their own portion. Why should Nigeria pay for it.
MBuhari We must all condemn it because that has no value to our infrastructure nor economy and there's more to what we can see.
MBuhari Railway never connect throughout Nigeria dem wan connect us to Niger or maybe I no sabi read again someone pls read am for me again
MBuhari This is complete madness. The Northerners are intentionally running that country to the ground. What's the economic benefits will Nigeria get from this project rather than importing terrorists and hoodlums into Nigeria. Indeed there was a country. 😔
MBuhari This is a very big disgrace to Nigerians. Is very obvious now that this government is senseless.
MBuhari calm down people...next approval is rail to china
MBuhari Good plan
RadioPaparazi MBuhari Another route for boko haram and arms smuggling between Nigeria and Niger.
MBuhari I'm seriously surprised with the way PMB thinks and reason. How will the entire Nigerian benefits from this project? 😡 😡 My take is, he should always thinks of we the citizens and give reasons why he's taken such steps.
MBuhari There are tons of federal roads in need of rehabilitation but yet MBuhari approved rail line project for easy access of herdsmen into the country. This one na better love ooo
MBuhari This government keeps misplacing priorities, roads are bad Nationwide, people dying in fatal accident on Abuja-Lokoja-Benin highway on daily basis and they want to rail Nigeria-Niger, who Niger help? Is Niger Makkah or Jerusalem? Nonsense!!!
MBuhari Such a foolish president...is that the number 1 problem Nigeria is struggling with ATM?
MBuhari This railway obviously connects with the LAKAJI corridor, which is the busiest agricultural trade route in Nigeria. About 30m tons of commodity passes through this route. Adding Niger will most likely increase Nigeria's position or potential as west Africa's trade hub.
MBuhari U all deserve what u're getting from Buhari & Fulani. U voted for Atiku & Buhari (both Fulani). So why are u complaining? Continue to insult YeleSowore while you keep voting for pdp & apc. Come 2023, PDP ll choose another Fulani & you'll still vote 4 him.
MBuhari Buhari is on a mission watch
MBuhari This is the worst government in history of this country!! Hope your son's face won't appear on any poster running for even counselor!! Disgrace of a man!
MBuhari He won pack Niger republic almanjeri come 9ja.
MBuhari This is purely a misplaced priority or having a hidden agenda. No economic benefits as far as I'm concerned. Bad roads causing tankers explosion killing lots of innocent lives on daily basis. Can't we use such money to fix our roads? Have we connected cities and towns in Nigeria?
MBuhari This project shall be abandon in no time pls don't ask why.
MBuhari Very disappointing! What is the economy benefits this project towards alleviating high level of unprecedented poverty in Nigeria. Lagos-Abuja-Zaria-kano rail which would have been an immense benefits to Nigerians and the economy activities of the country has been relegated.
MBuhari I hate when you people that called him a Messiah in 2015 are now crying and complaining. It's a shame to what you people called democracy in Nigeria which I don't believe that there's something like that in Nigeria. Have it in mind that PMB can't award any project with the law ma
MBuhari Listen and read between lines please, before feeding us.
MBuhari I just dey read and watch line of texts and comments here... Na money dem won chop. No be project dem won do. Sebi na 1.96bn, soon una go hear say snake don swallow the 0.96bn. I still dey watch!
MBuhari What trade does Nigeria have with Niger...I just hope it's not an avenue for easy transportation of our oil up north illegally
MBuhari This is an undertaker Government, pretending to work for Nigeria while in actual sense they are working against Nigeria. Pretending to love you while they hate, using your scarce resources to better the lives of another country, we are doomed.
MBuhari This man has only come to ruin Nigeria. He did it so that more terrorist could have easy access to Nigeria.
MBuhari Mobilise to Ojota na, call Tunde Bakare
MBuhari You’re a beast👹
MBuhari Misplaced priority
MBuhari He just want an easy access to bring in foreigners during election and more fighters to join the ongoing jihad.
MBuhari Misplaced priority indeed
MBuhari When you think you've seen it all then boom
MBuhari I will repeat again, Nigeria export what she don't have and imoort what he has. If not we are suffering of bad road network, the government is approving the construction of rail line to Niger republic. What an absurd.
MBuhari Joking country
MBuhari This guy must be having some hidden agenda. If I may ask, when was the project conceived, Environmental Impact assessment done, who are the contractors. Of what benefit is the rail to Nigeria? Does PMB think that Biafra and Oduduwa Republics are real?
MBuhari It's like what Nnamdi Kanu is claiming is right. Just trying to connect the Jubril of Niger and the railway from Nigeria to Niger. What is Nigerians benefiting from such project? The most traveled route is Benin-Nigeria-Togo-Ghana-Ivory Coast. So many doubt in my mind.
MBuhari This is not what Nigerians need pls!! Repair the economy, reduce poverty in Nigeria... Wow!
MBuhari Instead of trying to circlically link d whole Nig by rail so as to move people & goods round d country & lesson d burden of moving such by roads Gen Buhari (retd) is now setting a railway line to his ancestral home in Niger Republic while ex-gov Amaechi applauds such gesture
MBuhari It’s too late to cry
MBuhari Misplaced priority. We have no good road in Nigeria, most States are not linked by rail yet minister of transport, FEC and the president awarded a rail contract linking Niger Republic? Something is wrong somewhere.
MBuhari Our elected and appointed leaders are in bondage of the presidency. If you talk or against any decisions, the presidency opens your file of corruption and your end moment comes. I pity the cosmetic leaders of today at all level. Men of no integrity yet they are politicians.
MBuhari Of what economic benefit?Have we connected all Nigeria's state capitals and Agric producing centres?
MBuhari Lol, the good thing is nobody cares what all you wailers are babbling about. So continue your close-minded and myopic utterances, this project is happening whether you like it or not.
MBuhari Promoting Terrorism
MBuhari So that North can have strength and terrorist can penetrate more
MBuhari And we took loan for that project.
MBuhari It seems Nigeria is going to experience another civil war, in the near future.
MBuhari In 2015, femiaribisala shouted himself hoarse that this president pays more allegiance to his tribe than he does to his country... we did not listen. One doesn’t learn how to be left-handed at old age.
MBuhari The senate and House of representatives that allowed the project to even pass through reading should be blamed not buhari
MBuhari Is he from niger republic?
MBuhari PAPA always on the other side, unfortunately the wrong side....
MBuhari Oga is in shock too to what he just signed..
MBuhari
MBuhari Bam bam Bigelow🤣🤣🤣 We're not outraged abeg, na sidon dey look we dey
MBuhari This man is an impostor
MBuhari Baba mai rail way
MBuhari Aaah how come this man has not been taking to yabaleft, ever since he has stopped traveling for his medical checkup he's just behaving anyhow 🤔abi anti ayi have changed Baba brain to washing of pant ni?
MBuhari Even now I am still wondering what our relationship is with Niger Republic to warrant borrowing money to build rail way to that country.
MBuhari Lolo, we always think northerners are somehow uninformed.they hear abt biafra, they hear abt oduduwa republic. So they are not leaving any stone unturned to provide necessary infrastructures in case it happens. Just imagine from kano to Niger. For whose benefits?.
MBuhari For crying out loud!...of what economic benefit is the project to Nigeria, I think as the days goes bye PMB and his council of chiefs lacks ideas on what to do to boost Nigeria's economy...Woooh! To dix administration.... rubbish 👎 👎
MBuhari The worst of the worst things that has ever happened to Nigeria is having PMB as the president and his fucking agenda....this is crezy
MBuhari I'd like to think, the approval of such railway project, might hold extensive economic benefit than most Nigerians are willing to recognise, considering how Niger remains one of Nigeria's major trading partners, such construction will better the ease of doing business....
MBuhari For crying out loud!...of what economy benefit is the project to Nigeria, I think as the days goes bye PMB and his council of of chiefs lacks ideas on what to do to boost Nigeria's economy...Woooh! To dix administration.... rubbish 👎 👎
MBuhari Incompetent president
MBuhari Is it to be used to transport personnel and military equipments?
MBuhari
MBuhari The question is 'of what benefit is Niger republic to Nigeria, economically?
MBuhari There was a country... What can a lazy youth do?
MBuhari We have absolutely many very bad federal roads in Nigeria. It is a sad situation here.
MBuhari Useless project, 800bn will build world class universities and can be invested in the renewable energy and ICT sector. Failed govt with no passion to develop the country
MBuhari This is not an ideal project Mr President
MBuhari What business do we have with Niger Republic? Misplaced priority
MBuhari Clueless at it's peak
MBuhari 🤣🤣🤣una never see anything yet , sooner we go hear they don approved $10 billion for building access road from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia.🤣🤣. What' a F***king joke country we re living on. SMH
MBuhari Just a dimwit!!
MBuhari That's where it will stay. At the outraged stage
MBuhari Who truly owns that refinery in Niger republic, who are the stake holders . Why are we connecting rail lines to Niger ? When interstate is not 10% done ?
MBuhari Linking Nigeria to Niger? Niger Fucking Republic? Why?! Waste of funds.
MBuhari Even from the names: Niger -Nigeria. Just collect the like terms n see while the rail🚝 makes sense 😂
MBuhari oga wants it to b easier for them to enter and get out wehdon sir
MBuhari D greatest enemy of NGR is ALH Buhari, begging 6 nations not to allow any instability to disrupt his plans for them in NGR. Guinea Bissau & Conakry, Mali, Senegal, Niger and Chad. Only president in the world hiring machinery against his country. USinNigeria EUinNigeria POTUS
MBuhari He doesn't care anymore.
MBuhari Those complaining are enemies of progress, their minds have been misleaded by bias online medias as if the rail line would be constructed outside Nigeria and in the soil of Niger Republic.. This great project will be carry-out werther Wailers like it or not.
MBuhari Niger Republic people are everywhere in Nigeria, most of them are claiming citizens, and all these increased since PMB took over power. 90% of our federal roads are seriously in bad shape yet the president is considering Niger than Nigeria.
MBuhari This man called Buhari is not a Nigerian?
MBuhari ALH Buhari is running MAD and Nigerians needs to rise against him B4 it's too late. No rail from Lagos to any Eastern state, the two important economy back bone of the nation, how can a sensible government think of helping Niger REP with NGR's money?. USinNigeria EUinNigeria
MBuhari This dude sha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
MBuhari MBuhari does not believe in One Nigeria!
MBuhari Even the Nigerian Muslim faithfuls are crying. This is the most insensitive President ever liveth! We can't boast of interstate railways in Nigeria. PMB is not a patriot, if he was, Nigeria would come first before Niger. Why am I not surprised? Niger is a home for Fulanis.
MBuhari Sectional Leader!
MBuhari This is what you get when you have a rubber stamp senate, docile house of rep and clueless leaders all round. We should just scrap this scrap called Nigeria.
MBuhari That guy is up to no good
MBuhari This is nonsense !!! It is not our problems
MBuhari This is an insult to we Nigerians....it's a total embarrassment because we don't even have a Railway linking every States in this country yet, the loan you took on our Names ooo
MBuhari This is the height of it : Anti people policy Reckless policy of foreign importance , Mortgaging of Nigeria's future through loans. Las las if black people don't take over our land, CHINA WILL DO .
MBuhari I think Nigerians are under the control of one almighty fulani juju , if not , tell me why they have not flooded aso Rock and kick that ghost masquerade out of that office , people will open their mouth and close , no action, at the end , the bill will pass
MBuhari Don't forget ur route 🤣
MBuhari They are looking for opportunity to import arms imao
MBuhari E want to networking all Africa country Sai baba 2050
MBuhari It is a total mess up there in the medulla oblongata, it is like spaghetti junction. Brain surgery needed asap to rectify the anomaly.
MBuhari Senate should cancel that project unless Nigerans are more important than Nigerians.
MBuhari What about the law makers! Did they agreed to this?
MBuhari The meaning of Buhari is impunity
MBuhari Not what we need right now. Bad idea
MBuhari Isn't this the same rail project that the previous Emir of Kano Lost his throne for speak out against?
MBuhari It's uncalled for. What's the economic importance of that when compared to rail that connects Benue and or Owerri, Umuahia to the Northern states for goods distribution.
MBuhari Route for more cows to come in since we are living in a cowtry.
MBuhari Wow thumbs up to the MBuhari administration this is a very great and important project that will bring more business opportunities between Nigeria and Niger Republic.
MBuhari Any Reason for me to claim once again that MBuhari administration is CLUELESS!! This money could easily be used to repair the non-functioning refineries in the country. This will help by reducing $ spent by oil importers. MBuhari admin is mortgaging/enslaving all Nigerians
MBuhari Y are u people asking why he wants to build rail line from 9ja to Niger as if u guys dont knw it's for d next Presidential Election, they hav seen what happened in Edo & they dont want to take any chances, so on dat day u will see alot of People from niger Voting in d north.
MBuhari There is still no Lagos-Benin-Onitsha-Port Harcourt-Calabar rail line. Imagine if you could connect all 5 cities through rail? Imagine the economic value? But no o, because the South has never been a priority to this administration
MBuhari Lack of sincerity of purpose
MBuhari I don't know why Buhari want to waste Nigeria money on such projects at this time, that we are not okay with interstates transportation by rail.
MBuhari 'Sometimes those things that elders sit down to Reason is full nonsense BashirAhmaad I really don't know if your Boss MBuhari Seek your Suggestions. Of what benefit is Niger Republic to Nigeria.!!!
MBuhari Misplaced priority. Just less than 48hrs after fuel tanker roasted 30 nigerians along Lokoja-Abuja road, our inland roads are in helpless conditions, all inner-city rail roads are celebrated on media except for Kaduna-Abuja. How much is Niger Rep contributing towards the project?
MBuhari Isn't there a free movement in west African region, if yes what the critic
MBuhari An accident happened in Kogi state yestarday on a federal road that is very bad. Our government is building railway for Niger citizen to enter Nigeria with ease. This APC government is really sensible.
MBuhari Latecomer 😜😜😂😂
MBuhari Our president is finally mad o
MBuhari What is the problem of Buhari. Why is always doing the wrong things.
MBuhari Sorry ohoo sorry ohoo! Make God nor go all MBuhari kill us for this country
MBuhari Our president wasnt thinking on this
MBuhari A word is enough for the wise.....
MBuhari Belike una no sabi this guy....na noise we go just make ...him go do am nothing go happen
MBuhari So it says if you don't like Nigeria move to Niger
MBuhari Wow!!..this is very wonderful! I think Niger republic should also provide a candidate for the next presidential election in Nigeria.
MBuhari Sahara reporters is outraged abi?
MBuhari Have we fixed interstates transportation problems in Nigeria before considering Niger republic? Cluelessness of the highest order.
MBuhari Walai, man yen kon disgrace wa ni jare... We fought for him to make it to that precious seat, then later, he started his funny policies. Wetin be the benefits wey Niger Republic wan do Naija? Instead, I will rather prefer Benin Republic, Togo etc...
MBuhari The question is, Of what economics important is the project for the to borrow and build a rail that will not repay its Loan...
MBuhari This project is an assault to the intelligence of Nigerians. There is no other way for Southerners to interpret this no matter the justification that could be put forward. Kanu-Niger Republic corridor can't be as important as Lagos-Abuja, Anambra-Abuja, Port Harcourt-Abuja
MBuhari president buhari is a case study of how a clueless president turned the most populous black nation into a failed state with nepotism. nepotism is when a clueless old man surrounds himself with backward thinking people.
MBuhari What's the economic value of all these reckless giant strides? Is Cow now our main import/export Cash cow? ☺️
MBuhari This is Islamic zoo republic of nizooria. MBuhari the sadists only cares about his people the islamist.
MBuhari What's the economic of all these reckless 'giant strides'?
