Debunking Obidient Myths on the Kano–Maradi Rail Loan

I watched a video from a self-styled commentator who spread blatant lies about the Chinese-financed Kano–Maradi rail project. He showed an old disused narrow-gauge track and claimed the Buhari administration borrowed funds to rebuild it. In reality, the current project is a brand-new standard-gauge railway built from scratch. It bears no relation to the abandoned colonial-era lines he highlighted. Scroll through the comments and you’ll see how many Obidient followers have taken this misinformation as fact. It shows how easily false narratives can spread online.
