This posting has a production....if @ 1985 nigeria could maintain such a train under buhari government, what's stopping JONATHAN for not making it look more beautiful like other developed countries that one has a train of 1980s.......or are we still government?.....who ever post that is looking for an attention.

the op is not sincere with the pictures he uploaded, comparing the pictures the one on the newspaper is an abandon train as you can see bushes round the wheels, the latter shows a working train, the op should show us the working train then and mind you can't compare the civilization and per capita income of then with now.

with all these some right thinking Nigerians will vote Buhari. Ok o. since the north is sabotaging GEJ'S govt with Bokoharam and claiming he is weak, when they take power even in 2019 it's their buckets that they will take to Rivers state if they must see crude. God go punish North papa.

Since this has made front Page let me modify.

I know every right thinking Nigerian that has followed Nigeria's Politics and development will not vote Buhari. Buhari claims he is Mr. Integrity but he does it at convinience only. If he is Mr Integrity he should come clean about the fact that he did not finish Secondary school and entered the military through quota sytem (wallahi dan uwa. wannan Kworruftion ne pa). He should come clean about the fact that he did not buy a single rifle for the Army as President. Buhari claims he is Mr Integrity but he served under Sani Abacha and said openly that Abacha is not corrupt (& we want him to fight corruption) etc I don't blame the Millions of Northerners that he and his likes has kept illiterate and poor supporting him but it hurts me when I see enlightened Nigerians like you and I shouting change. Its Pathetic. At this point we are already facing the right direction as a Nation what we need is Improvement not change.
What improvement?...U mean improvement in the lost of more life?..Improvement in how our currency as become a mare paper?..So we shud wait till our country becomes tissue paper before we take it back from a person who does not have the capability to improve it....Just answer the question, how do u expect me to continue to support someone who goes on dancing a day after scores of his citizen died from a bomb blast?...seriously even if it is u that is contesting against GEJ right now I will vote u..

How did OBJfare when the ND crisis stated? is it because militants don't kill people at random? So you blame GEJ for insurgency. Guy grow Up

saintgwizard:
Nigerians started criticising GEJ when he was less than 3 months in Office.

One thing is that GEJ has done his part, there is no man that will ever please Nigerians while in office.

The Abacha that people celebrated his death, is today one of the "saints" that ruled this country.

Even if this same Buhari wins today, Nigerian will still complain in less than 1 year in office.
Who made Abacha a saint?..oh! I forgot he was presented with award after his death by our dear GEJ

gameaddict:
So when its Buhari, we should attribute it to lag but when its Jonathan, no lag abi?

Let me indulge you a bit.
If Buhari had invested to renew/refurbish and upgrade the railways rolling stock of locomotives, coaches lines etc the decline that started with cargoes in 1977 and with passengers after 1984 would not have occurred UNTIL Jonathan/Sambo showed and SYSTEMATICALLY refocused attention on this vital sector.

I hope my explanation is simple enough for you to understand these fundamental dynamics of economic growth and business operations.

Any business admin/economics/accounting student understands the TIME LAG between investments and performance as well as the reverse i.e. LACK of continuous investments and SUBSEQUENT deterioration.
In 1984 the peaked number of passengers benefitted from PREVIOUS regimes' investments in railways that was yet to ROT away completely.


No wonder you gave us a very small excerpt of the businessdayonline story for a complete DISTORTION of what the news was all about. You were trying to be CUNNING hoping that most of our fellow citizens are LAZY mofos who won't bother to check out the source and read the whole news. Thankfully not everyone is like that.

Let us see a much larger excerpt of the same story from your provided link =>





Just as the daft pensioner did not buy any gun throughout his two year regime of terror as military DICTATOR he also did not buy any locomotive or coach hence passenger & cargo numbers continued to decline since 1977 until the Jonathan/Sambo decided to give REAL support to this vital sector and we have been seeing the results of steady PROGRESS everywhere

The article was published almost two years ago in April 2013.
Most of the planned rehabilitation & expansion by the federal administration highlighted above have been completed and citizens who had been deprived of this alternative means of transport are benefitting.



The story for Lagos state light rail of ONLY 27kms is very pathetic. This was a project that Jakande already started CONSTRUCTION before the sadist DESTROYER of the good works of others in the form of a military DICTATOR Buhari cancelled it and made the state pay hefty fines for breach of contract in 1983.
32 years later, we have no rail!

Four years after Toronto aloku scrap train propaganda show and two years after Fashola boasted in January 2013 that five months later in June 2013 we will be tweeting from inside his aloku trains. We can only hope that the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC that has been ruining Lagos state for 16 years will not tell us it was bad business like the N8 billion Sunborn yacht floating hotel shocked

Amaechi's case is not different from SCAMMER Fashola's deception angry
Since Amaechi joined APC he has abandoned whatever little governance he was doing for Rivers state and recently came out to boldly say without shame that he cannot complete the Port Harcourt light rail.

Why would any right thinking Nigerian want to swap a PROGRESSively performing federal administration of Jonathan/Sambo for the FRAUDULENT people assembled in APC?
What type of citizen would do that except those afflicted by the Cow Cloned Brain Syndrome, CCBS


P.S.: Feel free to share this as widely as possible to all those you are following on NL and even outside NL.

Let me enlightened u

Most of those 21st century u are shouting about are privately owned ..with 100% focus on it in terms of maintainance ,upgrading e.t.c

If Gej should build such in d name of 21st century

Do u think it will cost 1k for class class ,how many pple can afford 15k for it

What of d maintenance.. Na every month u go dey fly the train go abroad

Most of u here blabbing can't even rule a community successfully
