20 thousand Lagosians escape Lagos traffic daily in these air conditioned fast trains provided by the Jonathan administration!.



Below are peoples comment online:

Godwin Okokhune: My fellow country men, the truth is GEJ is trying for the resurrection of railways. He has done what others could not do.I know know this because I work with the Nigerian Railways. Those new trains are on the ground running from Ijoko to Lagos every day. There are three trains from Lagos to Kano every week. Other track rehabilitation going from PH to Maiduguri, Zaria ti Kaura. Namoda are on going.So kudos to GEJ.

Victor James: The age of social network and media propaganda. 90% of those who checked "like" on this page are youths. This tells you how people live without finding the facts but just accept hear say. Call your friends, relatives and acquaintances who are in Lagos and know the true facts.

Austin Isikhuemen: @Victor James, Am above 50 and I have had a ride in the train. You seem to look down on the youth. Not a forward looking attitude..

Enebeli Cyril: I wonder what these ungrateful Nigerians have done for themselves that they are criticising our President who is putting on ground what other leaders allowed decay. And for the educated illiterates asking for high speed electric trains, what will they be powered with? These trains will relief the traffic on our roads. We aren't there yet but we're moving in the right direction

Olonade Adebisi: The trains are in existence, I know because I am in Lagos. But truth b told an average Nigerian can not afford it. N750 for a trip for someone that earns 30k per months? In a day spending N1500 on transport... Then its surely not for d poor masses.

Abiodun Afolabi: I am a residents of ijoko where this train is Woking it is real but it s quite expensive
what we all know is that rail transportation is the cheapest means of transportation all globally but this one provided by GEJ is not for common people Because 750 naira from ijoko to Ido is very expensive. Even more than road transportation in Lagos but thanks God is a new one I can say the country is moving but very very slow in speed and the movement is with much pain . Because if a trip to Ido will cost 750naira I think is very painful

GEJ is working, haters are mewling.

Though it may seem expensive now but the price will soon crash with time. We all have to appreciate the administration for sustaining the revival of Nigeria Railway Corporation.

An Appeal To Northern Elders by Alisha4U(f): 9:46am As much as Nigerian leaders call for and promote unity of
our country, Southern and Northern elders still would often
exchange bitter words. Earlier, Naij.com has posted an
opinion by our contributor Hussain Obaro who warned
Southers leaders against presenting the North in the wrong
light and antagonizing Nigerians. Today, Dr. Deborah Nelson, writing from Ilorin, Kwara State, appeals to the Northern
elders and voices her own concerns. “1. Northern elders! During the Yar’Adua administration,
militants’ activities in the Niger Delta led to substantial drop
in crude oil production. To restore normalcy to the region,
Niger Delta elders, led by the then-Vice President, Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan, went into the creeks and persuaded the
militants to embrace peace. Similarly, when activities of the OPC were becoming a threat to national security, Yoruba
elders met with the OPC members and persuaded them to
embrace peace. “But in the North, instead of adopting similar measures to
restore peace to the region, you are busy looking for whom
to blame. According to you, Northern elders, Boko Haram
terrorists are not Northerners but Southerners, financed to
destroy the North. Unfortunately, while you are busy playing
the ostrich, a sizable part of this nation is being destroyed by Boko Haram terrorists and Fulani herdsmen. “2. Northern elders! In 2010, Alhaji Kaita promised to make
Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan if he was elected
Nigerian president in 2011. In 2010 also, Atiku Abubakar
promised to bring about violent change if he did not
become Nigerian president in 2011. As promised by Kaita
and Atiku, Boko Haram metamorphosed into a deadly terrorist sect overnight as soon as president Jonathan was
sworn in as president in 2011. Just recently, Dr. Junaid
Mohammed threatened that “if this President rigs himself
back into office in 1015, it may very well mark the end of
this country”. One hopes Dr. Junaid Mohammed, his wives
and children will personally participate in his self-imposed mission to destroy Nigeria. “3. Northern elders! You called for investigation and
prosecution of General Ihejirika, rtd., and Senator Sheriff
based primarily on accusation by Mr. Davies. The same Mr.
Davies accused you of using Boko Haram to destabilize
Jonathan’s government. He also accused a high-ranking
official in the CBN, who recently left his post, of financing Boko Haram. But you feigned ignorance of these aspects of
Mr. Davies’ allegations. Of recent, Mr. Obermayr, a member of
European Parliament, accused General Buhari, rtd., of
financing Boko Haram, and Alhaji Atiku of being financed by
al Qaida to destabilize Southern Nigeria. He also accused the
APC of channeling European Parliament financial aids to support insurgency in Eastern Nigeria. As expected, you and
Chief John Oyegun, APC Chairman, are exhibiting incurable
symptoms of selective amnesia as regards those accusations. “4. Northern elders! You often celebrate Boko Haram attacks
on security forces as a manifestation of Jonathan’s
incompetence. But any counter-attack by security forces
against Boko Haram attracts prompt criticism from you.
According to you, Boko Haram terrorists are fighting for their
rights the same way the Niger Delta militants did, hence, the government should stop attacking them and grant them
amnesty. By your actions, utterances and body language,
you created enabling environment for Boko Haram to grow
into the present monster that is currently decimating the
region. You condemn Boko Haram only when they attack
mosques or Muslims. When Emir of Kwarso was killed by the sect, Sultan Abubakar only admonished Boko Haram to ‘stop
killing Muslims’. “5. Northern Nigeria is synonymous with violence. This had
been the norm even before President Jonathan assumed
power. You want everyone to convert to Islam. during every
religious riot, you engineer slaughter of anyone who is not a
Hausa-Fulani Muslim, irrespective of his or her religion. “Mr. Gideon Akaluka was beheaded in Kano in 1996 for just
touching Holy Koran. Hundreds of Nigerians were killed in
the North when you organized a religious riot against the
hosting of Miss World Contest in Nigeria in 2002. In 2005 in
the North, hundreds of Nigerians were killed in religious riot
because a newspaper in Norway published a caricature of Prophet Mohammed. A Yoruba lady teacher from Ogun State
was roasted in Bauchi by her Muslim students who accused
her of touching Holy Koran in 2007. Some bloody religious
riots are Maitatsine riot in Kano in 1983, 1991 riot in Kano
against Evangelist Bonnke, Maiduguri riot in 2006, Sango
Kataf riot, Sharia Law riot in Kaduna in 2000. “In short, there is no year without bloody religious riots in
the North, all perpetrated by you. Consequently, there is no
town in the North today where Muslims and Christians live
together in peace. Added to this is the widespread
destruction of lives and properties of Christians by Fulani
herdsmen in Kaduna, Kogi, Nasarawa, Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa states, even down to Anambra, Enugu
and Oyo states. “6. Northern elders! The inspiration for you to always
orchestrate bloody religious riots could be attributed to your
resolve to implement Sultan Ahmadu Bello’s Doctrine which
states, “The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of
our great grandfather Othman Dan Fodio. We must
ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use the minorities in the north as winning tools and the south as a
conquered territory and never allow them to have control
over their future.” “Another source could be the Organization of Islamic
Countries’ (OIC) Abuja Declaration of 1989 which enjoins all
member countries to ensure only Muslims are elected to all
political posts of member nations, eradicate in all its forms
and ramifications all non-Muslim religions in member
nations (Christianity, Ahmadiya, and other tribal modes of worship unacceptable to Muslims), ensure ultimate
replacement of all Western forms of legal and judicial
systems with Sharia in all member nations before then next
Islam in Africa Organization conference, and ensure the
appointment of only Muslims into strategic national and
international posts of member nations. The IAO was founded by OIC in 1989 in Abuja to implement Abuja Declarations and
incidentally, one of you, Doctor Usman Muhammad Bugaje,
is the current Secretary General of IAO. “7. Nothern elders! Because of stiff opposition by you, the
emergency rule imposed in the 3 North-Eastern states is not
comprehensive. If you had allowed for imposition of
emergency rule with a military administrator in Borno state,
Governor Shettima would not have had the opportunity to
organize the controversial abduction. On 11 June 2014, Governor Shettima said Boko Haram might attack Southern
Nigeria. On 15 June, 3 bombs were detected in Winners
Chapel Church in Owerri. Same day, soldiers intercepted 33
buses around 3 a.m. in Abia State with 486 Hausa Fulani
Muslims. 86 of them were confirmed members of Boko
Haram. But, led by Sultan Abubakar, you, Northern elders, called them “innocent Hausa Fulani businessmen” and
demanded for their unconditional release. Even though
none of these ‘businessmen’ had up to even N1,000 on
them! On 20 June 2014, Boko Haram suicide bomber was
arrested while trying to plant bombs in a school in Owerri.
Mallam Shehu Sani said that Boko Haram would like to exchange the girls with their members in government
custody, and the next day Shekau, Boko Haram leader,
announced same to the public. How did Governor Shettima
and Mallam Shehu Sani get the information from Boko
Haram? “8. Northern elders! Governor Shettima is old enough to
make informed decisions, but he decided to play politics
with human lives. If Governor Shettima’s children were in
that school, would he have refused to move the students to
Maiduguri, as advised by the Federal Ministry of Education?
Would he have refused to provide adequate security in the school, as he promised? Why did Shettima replace all
Christian staff with Muslims prior to the abduction? Why is it
that on the night of the said abduction, the staff and their
families did not sleep in the school? Why is it that over 90%
of the girls are Christians? Why is it that none of these
physics students could speak English? Initially, the Principal, Mrs. Asabe Kwambura. said she was present when the girls
were abducted. Why did she change her story that she was
at Maiduguri when the abduction took place? The number of
the abducted girls was put at 129 initially. Why did the
number increase to over 200 after Shettima offered to pay
each family one million naira? “While you mount pressure on the presidency to facilitate
safe return of the girls, you should also cause your son,
Governor Shettima, to provide answers to above questions.
However, you can ignore this suggestion if you, Northern
elders, have actually connived with Governor Shettima to
facilitate the abduction of Chibok girls for political gains. “9. Northern elders! Through deliberate adulteration of
Almajiri System of Islamic Education(ASIE), you had been
able to produce inexhaustible reservoirs of human robots
whom you often use to prosecute endless bloody religious
riots in Northern Nigeria primarily to protect your selfish
interests. While you send your children to acquire Western education, you discourage the less privileged amongst you
from doing same by deceiving them that Western education
is un-Islamic. While you allow your children to be vaccinated
against polio, you discourage the less privileged amongst
you from doing same by deceiving them that it is un-Islamic.
While you send your daughters to acquire Western education, you encourage less privileged amongst you to
marry their daughters off at the age of seven by deceiving
them that it is Islamic to do so. What do you gain by hiding
under Islam, a religion of peace with over a billion believers?
Remember, Allah is watching you, so, do unto the less
privileged amongst you what you want others to do unto you and stop seeing them as expendable. “10. Northern elders! You want power to return to the North
next year at any cost. Some of you, Northern elders, had
gone further once again to threaten to make the country
ungovernable if a Northerner does not assume power next
year. It is a fact that most of you are in your sixties and
above, hence you think you have nothing to loose if you set the nation ablaze. If that happens, you will surely relocate
abroad with your families and from the comfort of your
lavishly furnished palaces, watch innocent Muslims and
Christians kill themselves. If all elders in Nigeria will resort to
violence to press home their demands like you, will there be
any country called Nigeria by the time the winner finally emerges. Please talk like a typical African elder who is an
embodiment of wisdom, peace and humility and not like a
motor park tout. “11. Northern elders! The vast majority of people of Niger
Delta believe, rightly or wrongly, that Hausa-Fulani
politicians use Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen to
destabilize Jonathan’s government. Consequently, they may
destabilize any government headed by a Hausa Fulani
president. Niger Delta people are not against the rest Northerners. To avoid a situation whereby Nigeria will be
forced to fight three wars (the Boko Haram war, Fulani
herdsmen war, and oil and gas war) simultaneously with no
money to prosecute the wars, Hausa Fulani politicians
should step aside for now. There are many capable and
credible northerners (both Christians and Muslims) such as Sam Nda Isah, David Mark, Iyocha Ayough, and many others
whom the North can jointly adopt and support to contest for
presidency. You will as expected, wave this suggestion aside
as an idle talk, hoping that you will cross the bridge when
you get there. From available indices, there may be no
bridge to cross because emergence of a Hausa-Fulani president next year through whatever means, will usher in
unprecedented disruption of gas and crude oil production
throughout the duration of the government. “12. Northern elders! Instead of wasting precious time trying
to blame anyone but yourselves, you should meet with Boko
Haram members and persuade them to embrace peace, just
as Yoruba and Niger Delta elders did. You, Northern elders,
may not feel threatened by the avoidable disaster you have
brought on the North. This is because your people will believe and do whatever you tell them without a second
thought. This also informs your penchant to relish in issuing
threats with or without provocation. Having produced easily
manipulated, inexhaustible reservoirs of human robots
through deliberate adulteration of Almajiri System of Islamic
Education, you are emboldened to play the ostrich while the North is on fire. “May Allah grant you the grace to retrace your steps for the
benefits of the unborn generations in your various
communities, amen.” Source: http://www.naij.com/308060-appeal-to-northern- elders.

you do the maths for 5-working days in a month

I have boarded the train before and I can tell you that the train cannot have more than 500 persons on-board on a trip, and it goes 3 trips a day to and fro.

I laughed at the number too. It's an achievement and doesn't need nigerian inflation to emphasize it's use.

liars are liable to die young. The train fee is 750 naira per trip. Full capacity is 600 and most times its quarterly full as the price is expensive. six trips per day to nd fro. I doubt the total passenger will be up to 2000 per day

Buhari would cry again if GEJ continue this way. GEJ TILL 2019 OR HEAVEN WOULD FALL!!

If you can't afford expensive clothes, does it mean you should go around completely na.ked ? There are alternative means of transport that you can as well use instead of the ac trains.

You see, that's our problem. I have stopped believing things from nairaland this days. Must you hype the numbers? I have boarded the train before and I can tell you that the train cannot have more than 500 persons on-board on a trip, and it goes 3 trips a day to and fro. So how do you arive at the fucking 20 thousand persons a day People like you make me loathe this GEJ administration the more.

God bless you, I was about saying same before I saw your reply. I boarded this trian while, on an assignment for a month, the OP is a disgrace for quoting such figures.

I also think a picture of the cheaper ones (230 naira per trip) the masses always use should be posted then we will know whether to commend GEJ or not.

Pathetic liars everywhere!

The train is SUPER EXPENSIVE! It's N750 for a trip
and you will spend N1,500 a day on two trips. If
you do the maths for 5-working days in a month
properly, it costs N30,000 in a month! That's way
too much for an average Nigerian. Worst of all, it
only travels in one direction- not all Lagosians
benefit from it... not to talk of the other states in
Nigeria. So what's the hype and noise about!
Please stop painting what should be dividends,
and rights of citizens, as a favour.
DEVELOP ALL THE RAIL ROADS IN NIGERIA AND
LET TRAINS TAKE OVER INSTEAD OF THE 'COFFIN
ON WHEELS' THAT TAKES OUR LIVES ON THESE
BAD ROADS ON A DAILY BASIS.
I'm an average Nigerian and I refuse to be brain-
washed in the name of second term!

but we pay 600 naira any time we cross from lekki to ikoyi and vice versal and 300 naira anytime we cross lekki to v.i . And your one of those that see nothing wrong with that. If this trains was provided by those that pay you to be online 24/7 to criticize the hardworking government it would cost the public more than 750 naira. Those of us that stay in lekki know how much we pay a year to your tin god tinubu as toll even when the money used to build the road was gotten through tax and allocation from the fg,sure p fund included.

Op, that train that runs along Oshodi under bridge (with passengers hanging on any available iron) get AC?

#750,its too expensive,considering the minimum wage.

Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

GEJ till Buhari doesnt have money to contest again.

wow

Whatz this op? what type of news source is that up there
Besides, if the poor masses can not board this train why should we say it is real ? Kwanu, mind your head o

20,000 indeed! liars from the pit of hell

Our rail transport system has been in a state of coma for over thirty (30) years so don't expect miracle to bring it to life. Slow and steady wins the race.

Over 30 years you say?
The last time I boarded a Train as a Passenger is less than 18years ago. If you say 15years, I'd agree with you. That's exactly when PDP came to power.
