Op, Op, Op, how many times I call you.

Don't make me bust your bubble here oo!!

Shooo!! Which kind lie be dis?? Even the connecting bridge in Otukpo hasn't been completed!! The train dey fly?? cheesy

The only trains that have been able to reach even Otukpo from Makurdi are those cargo trains carrying sharp sand for building purposes. And I was reliably informed David Mark is the one running that racket. The stuff costs about ten times more in Otukpo than mkd!!

Stop all these things abeg. grin

Wake up bro! Take a trip to the station. Can you help post some pix? Quote me with ur whatsapp no let me send some pix

I know ur type and silence is the best answer for you. Anyway, FYI it was botched projects by past administrations. You better learn to get facts before jumping to conclusion.

So you'd know, a train at this time and age should be ntn less than the one below.

when people like you have not seen worse in supposed developed worlds, your hopes are hyped,that train there is hi_speed train which the whole of america has less than 4, go and ask.DO you know howmuch they cost?In the UK, these trains are owned by the private sectors now as the Uk govt could not maintain it, so if the Ng govt start with Old trains the youths of today which include you can buy shares and upgrade it to what you have in that pic, Now to what ends have you worked to this actualization?

It's obvious what the OP was trying to achieve. He only came here to rubbish GEJ and the #transformationtrains. The pictures he showed are all old pictures that see all over the Internet.

You would have taken Selfies or something new. If a train derails, how will it be able to continue the journey..
Come back when you have something to say

Come my friend, stop jumping to conclusions. I am in a profession that makes me a globe trotter. I can categorically tell you that the uk and USA still have some very old trains. The only place I can't say for certain is Japan because I have not had the opportunity to go hinterland.

Please don't assume everyone in this forum is not exposed. Rather you should try to understand the perspective from which one is making comments. If this perspective is not known, just ask the person concerned to justify himself. For example, I have strong justification for saying electric trains can work in Nigeria despite the rampant power outages.Do you know there is a place in that Nigeria where the light has not blinked for the past 15yrs? Yes, I mean blinked no matter the weather and it is in that same Nigeria.

And concerning the private sectors owning the bullet trains, I know also. Afterall, (in the UK) Virgin Trains is not government neither are the international trains at King's cross pancras owned by any state but like I said earlier, we have basis for what we said. All you need do is ask and we will defend ourselves. No be fight o o wink
