Kobojunkie:' Didn't we have this discussion before. . .a locomotive is a locomotive and its based on certain principles. A locomotive is different from monorails, mass tranist trams, maglev, light rails etc. yes all those I mentioned are trains but they are all different and CANT BE COMPARED TO EACH OTHER. you cant compare a monorail to a light rail, or a locomotive to a maglev, they both are based on different systems and for different uses. just like you cant compare a sedan to a truck/lorry even though they are bought vehicles. it does matter what year its made in a lorry will look like a lorry and a sedan will look like a sedan. . .because they are two different things. Sorry to say just like the other argument we had on the same topic, you dont know what your talking about. . . . |

Justcash wrote: Beautiful development. Even if the trains are crawling like snails at the moment, and being pounded by noise, it can only get better and not worse. GEJ has done a good job by making the trains work. He should do more. My theory is that PDP have been around long enough, and chopped money long enough to now say ok, let's get down to work. This is why we need them to stay on. The last thing we need is a fresh set of empty pockets waiting to be filled. Those ones will simply put a halt to all ongoing projects, begin to ''probe'' this or that person or project, all just so they can renegotiate/resign contracts and start new projects that they can chop from. So please let PDP stay on biko! |

our passenger railway cannot be efficient unless our electricity problem is solved. locomotive may work for cargo rail, but will it work for passenger rail? I doubt it. |

^^^ why not? most part os the world still use locomotive. Dont confuse locomotive with coal. These trains are diesel powered locomotives. why wont they work? |

i thought it was a joke when MUSA/GEJ said that the rail system will work , i attacked their statement because i never see them as serious govt due to OBJ era is still in my system, not i can see and believe . GEJ IS A MESSIAH NIGERIA HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. |

OBJ administration was the one who commenced the rail rehabilitation scheme and not GEJ, Yar'adua to put off the Lagos-Abuja railway project based on abused of due process. But later the project went back on track. . .I think its wrong to give GEJ credit since he had nothing to do with it. |

Jen33: Is this poster for real Let me tell you one of the basic principles of the UNIVERSE. There are few things that are never enough - MONEY is the chief of them all. If Bill Gates has not said he has too much money, then it is best you know that people in PDP won't feel they have "stolen" enough money. NOBODY, AND I REPEAT NOBODY, EVER HAS "ENOUGH" MONEY. |

Good News. I hope they improve on that and maintain it. Just said it to the hearing of my Cameroonian friend who turned and told me she prays the train doesn't get to her Country so as to avoid thieves from Nigeria.Just messed up my mood |

Cheap propaganda; none of the monorail projects are anywhere near complete and will end up being a white elephant project. Truth be told 10 years from now we will still be saying the same thing about this rail stuff. |

See shameless people trying to allocate everything to GEJ. Why shout down Kobojunkie? If this was Yar'Adua's baby you must give credit to where it is due. This is how adverts I see on TV these days are giving GEJ credit for the Amnesty programme that was effected under his predecessor. Na wa o! Nigerians will always be slaves because they are easily satisfied with crumbs. These crumbs from the poisonous PDP cannot sate our call for accountability and good governance! When some of you grow up and start paying taxes you will learn to demand more from your leaders. |
Re: Breaking News - The Nigerian Railway Is Back For Good. by johnie: 10:00am On Mar 24, 2011 |
Can one of those who want us to believe that everything is perfect outside Nigeria, particularly the US of A, please explain to this man why a pothole almost swallowed his vehicle considering the fact that he pays his tax! http://news.yahoo.com/video/cleveland-wews-20910953/superior-sinkhole-24635312;_ylt=AihCpR00GaKFe3I3jQ257Liz174F;_ylu=X3oDMTExYnUzOTZvBHBvcwMyNQRzZWMDY2xpcHMEc2xrA3N1cGVyaW9yc2luaw-- Okay, now I get it. It is the PDP/ACN government or the Nigerian governor/mayor that has 'chopped' the money along with the nigerian contractor who constructed the road. Funny, its is the same Ohio where those locomotives came from! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYK2ROrFazU |

Re: Breaking News - The Nigerian Railway Is Back For Good. by ifyalways(f): 10:10am On Mar 24, 2011 |
I don't understand all the hype in this thread,nothing is new here . . .atleast not YET. The only thing that looks new is distance covered;as much as I can remember trains have been operating within Lagos,twice daily as a matter of fact so the new thing is plying Lagos to Ibadan. It also looks like the old trains got a good rub down,re-sprayed or something,did they get new ones Lagos to Ibadan for 8 hours ,Thanks but i wud rather go with a Molue,4 hours maximum. What we lack is maintenance and accountability. |
Re: Breaking News - The Nigerian Railway Is Back For Good. by Nobody: 10:13am On Mar 24, 2011 |
Kobojunkie:Yeah I totally agree with you,we should do away with all expired and outdated stuff like even the dictator BUHARI!!! |
Re: Breaking News - The Nigerian Railway Is Back For Good. by otokx(m): 10:14am On Mar 24, 2011 |
They are facing difficulties because of the politicians; take for instance the one near me. How can you award such a high technology and expensive project to a company owned by a former soldier named Anthony Ukpo? He was a former military ad i suppose. The project seems to have run underground now; it appears of course that government may not have released funds now they want to get another company from South Africa to take it over and convert it to a public private partnership. Do you guys know the billions that been sunk there? The whole thing is fast becoming another TINAPA |
