why wasn't it constructed in the north and the southwest? while constructing in only from Bonny-Portharcourt to end at Enugu? then from Enugu to damaturu you will now construct the standard gauge line...hmmm who is fooling who?

I wonder if the warri -ikakpe own is still narrow gauge....and what will now be the proposed coastal railway line.
this country self eh!






the stupidity of Igbo one nigerianists is so annoying, Amaechi must think we are fools but upcoming events will show all and sundry that Ndigbo are no fools. standard gauge is ok for yoruba and fulani but its not okay for the east.

Since Narrow guage is good and cost effective why did they waste billions constructing standard guage in other parts of the country?

Difrent:


Currently we have 2 narrow gauge lines , ie Lagos to Kano and PH to maiduguri. Lagos to Kano narrow gauge has been rehabilitated and functions very well for cargo and human transport .
The new standard gauge line was supposed to be from Lagos to Kano, Lagos to calabar coastal rail and PH to maiduguri as per the railway transformation plan but because for whatever reason the construction started midway in Abuja to kaduna by GEJ administration. PMB has done the Lagos Ibadan ,has awarded kaduna to Kano and looking for funds for the final leg of Ibadan to Abuja .
From the analysis above , with finds the whole country will eventually be covered ......as for why it didn't start from the eastern flank let's ask GEJ why he didn't start the eastern line that will include his bayelsa state









this is the obscurantist arguments that infuriates me about yoruba people, una gree Jonathan rest,your media no gree the man do anything, the money is actually coming in the main from the east o!

I Love PMB

In rail transportation, Buhari is doing what we should have done 40 years ago now... Igbos say that "taa bu gbo"... meaning it's never too late to start anything. Let's start and let coming governments add to the one he has done. That's how a nation develops.

Posterity will be kind to this man.

Modified: I am happy that no one is shouting "audio" unlike 3 or4 years ago if a project like this was announced. It shows that we are moving. People are actually seeing that he is doing something infrastructure-wise. The only complaints now are, "why e no be.my side?", "Why him no start from left or right?"....We move

only the living can ride trains... so its security first....

The narrow guage rail system is obsolete and should not be used in this new era.
The British brought it to their colonies back then cos they we switching to the standard guage and they had very many narrow guage tracks in their stock. So they decided to install them in their colonies.

Amaechi doesnt have sense.
The Railway man say that South Africa and India are still using the narrow guage that their colonial masters left them.
See fools.
South Africa and India got independence before nigeria, yet their railways from colonial days have been working for them till now. And we have nothing.
Since we dont have railway and are starting from scratch, why not go for the standard guage? Why go back to narrow guage that is colonial masters standard? Narrow guage 3.2b, standard 11b. Better go for the standard.
Because after some years, when they start talking of upgrading to standard, the price then will be 22 billion

If he says the want to borrow money for it now.. All of you complaining will be the first to cry he is borrowing, don't borrow for us, he wants to sell us to China.. When your pdp government comes let them do the standard gauge all over Nigeria for now this is what Nigeria under Buhari can afford.. Simple if u no like am find the nearest transformer and unleash thy faithfulness

It is massively SHAMEFUL that Nigeria has no functional train transport system for years until now, inspite of being oil-rich and being once one of richest countries in the world.

Standard gauge or narrow gauge, let's start something we can always improve upon. The economy needs it badly.

However, the important thing is having a professionally driven and technically sound operational system that will drive a profitable business model. We must do away with the current Nigerian Railway Corporation 'trash' that failed in the past.

For people trivializing this developmental effort by ethnicizing it, I will just say, infrastructural development can always be expanded, upgraded or even completely changed. For South East critics, it is important to state your 2015 favourite presidential originally designed the railway network without thinking highly of SE needs. Food for thought.
The one they are constructing to Niger Republic, is it narrow that's?

Narrow guage is for cargo haulage this days, standard guage is even been relegated for megelev in some Countries like japan, china etc.
The project should be put on hold until funds are available period.
Funny what we call a narrow guage is what is actually called a standard guage in japan.

If narrow gauge is the same as standard gauge, why not make the Eastern railway to be standard gauge so that eventually trains can run all over Nigeria without problems of one part of the country only having a certain category of trains that will run there from another part of the country?

Everyone knows the deceit that Amechi is unsuccessfully trying to hide or even justify. This is the reason why Nigeria will never develop!

"In the whole of Africa, Nigeria is the only country that has introduced a standard gauge line. South Africa, India and other countries are still using the narrow guage line introduced by their colonial masters. Other African countries are still using what the colonial master constructed."

Rubbish. That 20mins means alot. Why does it cost much more than in other countries. It could be done less and in a short period but this corrupt politician feel the are doing us a favour.

BTW, must we wait till till narrow gauge get outdated before we start going to standard gauge?

It amazes me that someone in the capacity of minister of transportation does not have basic knowledge of time, distance and speed calculations/estimations. Port Harcourt to Damaturu is roughly 1230km. On a standard guage rail, which is claimed to operate at 120km/hr, the travelling time will be 10hr15mins. The narrow guage at 100km/hr will take 12hr18mins. So the difference in time of travel is 2hr3min and not 30mins Our politicians should learn to be smart in trying to justify whatever decision or policy they plan to implement.
