Special adviser on Lagos matters, go back to your state in the East and save your kinsmen from suffering and damnation in the hands of your Governors.

Is like you wanna see street today

aribisala0:
This claim is false
What is the speed of the trains?
Those are carriages that were intended for use in high speed rail to be powered by external propulsion by electricity
We do not have the technology to power trains by electricity so those trains would have to be powered by probably a diesel engine train
This is good news but you do not enhance the news by embellishment or outright lies
Why, by the way is the speed so relevant or this talk about fastest trains necessary

The fastest trains are useful for Intercity travel not intracity/ inner city metro services where the train stops every minute or so

True talk. Purchase is easy because they make money for themselves but making it operational is the challenge.

many people go die for railway crossing be that

SarkinYarki:

All these potopoto boys sef.

Faster than the Gautrain of Gauteng, South Africa?

I pity those hoping to hawk gala and fan yogo on the railway.

michlins:
Things dey happen for Nigeria oh. A train line that's yet to become operational is now being dubbed as the fastest in Africa.

I thought the procedure would be to have it tested, up and running before claiming the rights. It's just like saying my house is the tallest in Africa meanwhile it has only been conceptualized inside my head.

We're better than this please. Although if sanwo olu can make it happen, he's assured of second tenure and even a bigger political office after Lagos.

Eko o ni baje

Exactly

The fastest train in Africa is Morrocan

azpekuliar:


Doesn’t make any sense emphasizing the speed of the train. You can’t possibly go that fast for an intracity train. Smells like propaganda.

The OP gave a perfect reply to this your talk

NGpatriot:



Do you go 200 mph when you drive your car, just because your car's speedometer says car has the capacity go all the way to 200mph?

What's really disappointing is you not thinking before posting.

Train wey dem don dey do since Tinubu was Governor?

LOL

A country filled with dimwits

Simple English you people cannot comprehend. The news said "Acquire a 330km/hr train" not test run or use it. They just bought it. It's like buying the fastest car in the world, you haven't drive the car but you know the car is the fastest in the world.

When they say you should go school you will said school na scam.

Obviously some people have no idea how trans work in developed nations

They are not powered by diesel locomotive engines inside the trains like what we use in Nigeria

High speed trains are externally powered by electricity. So there is a supply of high voltage electricity running above the entire train track from start to finish
The trains draw power using a PANTOGRAPH and converts this to mechanical energy
If those same carriages are connected to a diesel locomotive engine they are no longer going to travel at high speed

Na you no gree use common sense o. Reason am na. Where the long track before train go fit reach speed capacity?

Shut up he's saying the truth. What's the sense on buying a hyperspeed sports car to commute from mainland to island? You can get a low speed cheaper car that would do the same thing. These sort of trains are mostly for longer distance. Spending money on them just to answer fastest in Africa when same money could have been used to buy more conventional trains, is not wise. All of these are just for show. Where are the tracks these trains will run?

Idiko1:


My people shall never fail to disappoint. Why such a high-powered engine for a short distance?

try to understand bro
A fast mode of transportation isn't necessarily to to run at break neck speed ..rather it is to ensure efficiency in cutting the time frame of moving passengers from point A to point B

What will be the use if it only run at max of 50km/hr and before it returns 10,000 passengers are already waiting for the same journey when the train can only take 1,000

The reduction in time frame means swift evacuation ,better planning and less delay at the stations at anytime

..

One idiot from a muddy unproductive barren land said it is just an election campaign gimmick...what is the election campaign gimmick South East Govs are doing?

With your obsession of the east,hope you dmt end up in a lunatic assylum,....honest observation .

Nice one since 2011 of fakeness yet no results from Eko city to yaba estate all na fake

NGpatriot:


They should abandon the project because election is coming?

You are obviously not wise.

What he meant is that the launching of this project is an election strategy!!!

IronGalaxy:

yes naw

Who saw sanwoolu hand?

Na we dey here

Idiko1:

They know they have gullible followers and citizens

I was correcting one guy here too about same issue.
This should be interstate or intercity train for like Lagos to Abuja.

It can never be maximized for a 37km route with more than 10 stops.
How do you bring a train from 300kmph to 0kmph more than 5 to 10 in a 37km journey.

gulfer:
I don't understand how we plan to use a 330km/hr train for a 37km distance span or what did i not understand from this narrative

The train won't be moving at 330km/he.

OneTwoOne:
Babajide sanwoolu has always be in news for project, he's an indefatigable Governor.

God bless sanwoolu
God bless Ashiwaju Tinubu, the incoming GCFR.
They've totally turned our love towards you because of their NATURAL hate against ur personality Tinubu.

Congratulations, u now have our full support.

What did Asiwaju do during his own 8 years...

We thank him for Fashola and now Sanwo.

What do we say about him when it comes to Buhari if that's the logic??

Hype news. Do u know if Rwanda is planning something better.

Put it in place before you claim 1st position

Yeye

If they can rectify this phobia I have for Lagos...Then I move!!!

There is misinformation in that statement

There is no powere source embedded in those carrages

Carriages is what they bought and that is the maximum speed those carriages can travel at WHEN CONNECTED TO A HIGH SPEED ELECTRICITY OVERHEAD EQUIPMENT AND PANTOGRAPH

JUST like a chariot/carriage may be coupled to horses or a petrol engine

obviously if powered by horses it will not travel at maximum speed


The power is not intrinsic to the carriage

In Nigeria we do not have OVERHEAD EQUIPMENT AND PANTOGRAPH technology and so the carriages would be couple to desel locomotives which would be akin to horses in the chariot scenario

PrinceOfLagos:
So how much went to Tinubu from this project ?

We know he gets percentage for every projects executed in this Lagos

The greed is just too much

Even if he gets a percentage, atleast Lagos is working. Let your state do the same if it’s easy hypocrite

michlins:
knowing Nigeria and her politicians, I will believe this train is for Nigerians when I see it in Lagos. Anything less than that is still a campaign promise.

You guys seem to have very short memory. Jonathan government didn't teach you a thing about promise and fail. Abi Buhari handling of the security and economy of this country didn't tell you someone can talk about something he or she doesn't know a thing about

They have giving time for it. Why don't you just wait for the last quarter of the year to come. Be calming down. It will surely arrive.

Train wey never enter Lagos, project wey them never complete, train wey never start work na him oshisco take dey brag, small time now them go abandon the work. Nonsense people

NGpatriot:

A train that will go at 90km/h will do that distance in less than 20minutes, and will COST A LOT LESS.

Q grin with capacity of 330km/h bought to travel on 37km

Bonesbreaker:
yes naw

Very very dubious
