"there may be no bridge to cross because emergence of a Hausa-Fulani president next year through whatever means, will usher in unprecedented disruption of gas and crude oil production throughout the duration of the government." Not one drop! Northerners think they have monopoly of violence. 2 Likes |

I think this is, Propaganda all the way, @ least someone who has patronize them before is still alive. How many coaches has the train you are talking about? How many train there are that carries 20thousand per day as you said and in how many trip? Moreso brief us, the schedule and movements of those train? probably someone will love to go and confirm. Get me right, I am not saying the renovations in Nigeria train system is not ok, but come to think of it, what does is it really take to transform the rail in this country? Is the money spent commensurate with the results? Can common man afford the price of those so called air conditioned train? Some times those air conditioned train don't carry passenger they only move up and down because the price is high. |

Tranquill: You need to read my post again and reply like a person that can assimilate. How did I imply equal fingers? Where did I complain about price? Did you miss the part where I said I boarded it because I was working at the time? Can you see the title of the thread? Did you notice my complaint was about the op being a liar by bringing up a bogus figure? When I mentioned the cheaper train, do you realise I was advocating for a balanced report? I can now see why mass failure has become an issue in this country. Please read slowly next time, it will help you. |

Re: 20 Thousand Lagosians Escape Lagos Traffic Daily In These Air Conditioned Train by Nobody: 9:09am On Oct 24, 2014 |
Shine1177:Actually, the system stopped working optimally towards mid 90's! Even then, the system was functioning better than now! The revival of the old system is nothing out of the ordinary. The railway masterplan is beautiful though, only if it would be executed. But what we have now is still nothing worth celebrating. It's not worth it. Moreover we've always have air-conditioned cabins! Even now, travelling on an air-conditioned cabin from Ilorin to Kano is not more than N2500, so I wonder how a rational being would pay N750 within Lagos! It's crazy. It's meant for the rich and those on emergency. |

propaganda or not, they should jes do something about Lagos traffic. So much money is lost from the economy as a result of time wasted in sitting in traffic. Time which could be used to do some productive work and make money. A serious government should make the train systems very efficient and stable. simple. 1 Like |

[quote author=milliondollas post=27380033]An Appeal To Northern Elders by Alisha4U(f): 9:46am As much as Nigerian leaders call for and promote unity of our country, Southern and Northern elders still would often exchange bitter words. Earlier, Naij.com has posted an opinion by our contributor Hussain Obaro who warned Southers leaders against presenting the North in the wrong light and antagonizing Nigerians. Today, Dr. Deborah Nelson, writing from Ilorin, Kwara State, appeals to the Northern elders and voices her own concerns. “1. Northern elders! During the Yar’Adua administration, militants’ activities in the Niger Delta led to substantial drop in crude oil production. To restore normalcy to the region, Niger Delta elders, led by the then-Vice President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, went into the creeks and persuaded the militants to embrace peace. Similarly, when activities of the OPC were becoming a threat to national security, Yoruba elders met with the OPC members and persuaded them to embrace peace. “But in the North, instead of adopting similar measures to restore peace to the region, you are busy looking for whom to blame. According to you, Northern elders, Boko Haram terrorists are not Northerners but Southerners, financed to destroy the North. Unfortunately, while you are busy playing the ostrich, a sizable part of this nation is being destroyed by Boko Haram terrorists and Fulani herdsmen. “2. Northern elders! In 2010, Alhaji Kaita promised to make Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan if he was elected Nigerian president in 2011. In 2010 also, Atiku Abubakar promised to bring about violent change if he did not become Nigerian president in 2011. As promised by Kaita and Atiku, Boko Haram metamorphosed into a deadly terrorist sect overnight as soon as president Jonathan was sworn in as president in 2011. Just recently, Dr. Junaid Mohammed threatened that “if this President rigs himself back into office in 1015, it may very well mark the end of this country”. One hopes Dr. Junaid Mohammed, his wives and children will personally participate in his self-imposed mission to destroy Nigeria. “3. Northern elders! You called for investigation and prosecution of General Ihejirika, rtd., and Senator Sheriff based primarily on accusation by Mr. Davies. The same Mr. Davies accused you of using Boko Haram to destabilize Jonathan’s government. He also accused a high-ranking official in the CBN, who recently left his post, of financing Boko Haram. But you feigned ignorance of these aspects of Mr. Davies’ allegations. Of recent, Mr. Obermayr, a member of European Parliament, accused General Buhari, rtd., of financing Boko Haram, and Alhaji Atiku of being financed by al Qaida to destabilize Southern Nigeria. He also accused the APC of channeling European Parliament financial aids to support insurgency in Eastern Nigeria. As expected, you and Chief John Oyegun, APC Chairman, are exhibiting incurable symptoms of selective amnesia as regards those accusations. “4. Northern elders! You often celebrate Boko Haram attacks on security forces as a manifestation of Jonathan’s incompetence. But any counter-attack by security forces against Boko Haram attracts prompt criticism from you. According to you, Boko Haram terrorists are fighting for their rights the same way the Niger Delta militants did, hence, the government should stop attacking them and grant them amnesty. By your actions, utterances and body language, you created enabling environment for Boko Haram to grow into the present monster that is currently decimating the region. You condemn Boko Haram only when they attack mosques or Muslims. When Emir of Kwarso was killed by the sect, Sultan Abubakar only admonished Boko Haram to ‘stop killing Muslims’. “5. Northern Nigeria is synonymous with violence. This had been the norm even before President Jonathan assumed power. You want everyone to convert to Islam. during every religious riot, you engineer slaughter of anyone who is not a Hausa-Fulani Muslim, irrespective of his or her religion. “Mr. Gideon Akaluka was beheaded in Kano in 1996 for just touching Holy Koran. Hundreds of Nigerians were killed in the North when you organized a religious riot against the hosting of Miss World Contest in Nigeria in 2002. In 2005 in the North, hundreds of Nigerians were killed in religious riot because a newspaper in Norway published a caricature of Prophet Mohammed. A Yoruba lady teacher from Ogun State was roasted in Bauchi by her Muslim students who accused her of touching Holy Koran in 2007. Some bloody religious riots are Maitatsine riot in Kano in 1983, 1991 riot in Kano against Evangelist Bonnke, Maiduguri riot in 2006, Sango Kataf riot, Sharia Law riot in Kaduna in 2000. “In short, there is no year without bloody religious riots in the North, all perpetrated by you. Consequently, there is no town in the North today where Muslims and Christians live together in peac |

karlmax2:Leave those janjaweeeeds. If Fashola tells them to pay 1000 naira for toll daily, they will carry placards singing his praises, but 750 for an intracity train service and they start crying blue murder. Intracity trains are not cheap anywhere in the world. How much does it cost to hire a taxi in Lagos? APC and shameless criticisms. |
