Anyone can enter a train and snap pictures then get down... The OP its cost #650.. don't u find it odd that the train is not full since it's not expensive...

Its new year and guys are traveling to spend time and celebrate with family and friends.
A friend of my just sent in these picture about his journey from Port Harcourt To Enugu yesterday
in the new train.

Below are the pictures

Oliver twist... Over thirty years of rot should be revamped in a few years? Rail projects are heavily capital intensive. Power sector has been privatised.. It's left for the private firms to invest billions of dollars (cost of large scale generation installation averages about 1 - 2 million dollars per megawatt. And we need 50,000 megawatts to even scratch the surface)... Those village roads you're talking of aren't federal roads, divert the criticism to your LG and state govt.

I just feel uncomfortable with the cushion chairs in our train. Even though they are great now, i wonder how long they will last.

If you noticed, trains abroad have plastic seats, so that they can be easily cleaned out, even if someone vomits on it.

Anyhow, i thank our working President GEJ for providing Nigerians a functional train. Something the others simply failed to do.

MilitaryMinded:


You may be right to an extent. That said, the past four years have not been any better from the previous 12 or so of PDP rule and I can't tell you I see evidence of any change. Am not satisfied with whatever achievements GEJ have (and he has made some). Let us try somebody different.

That babe in the black tee shirt breeast na matter on National Security o..

See as the guy sef just dey happy for nothing.. The source of ehn joy no be the train ride but the mammary glands wey dey next to am..

Ok, you seem to be a reasonable person, so lemme try to reason with you. What is this known reason you refer to? and if it is known, why does it still persist?

You say corruption is hackneyed and regurgitated (which simply means it is an overused term), but that is not a solution, nor does it mean a solution is no longer required. Corruption, no matter how hackneyed, is still our major problem. I can list specific instances of deliberate lack of will to fight it, but I'm sure you know them as well as I do. So, what I'm saying is, in my opinion, change is the way to go. If one person hasn't made much progress after 6 years in office, why should I reasonably think the next 4 would be any different? And dont tell me 6 years is not enough time. The Niger bridge was built in 6 months by Balewa, even IBB constructed the third mainland bridge (longest bridge in Africa till today) in less than 2 years - still doesn't mean IBB was a good president. Buhari was in office for less than 2 years, and his work is still being hailed. 6 years is definitely more than enough time to transform Nigeria!!!

3 hours from PH to Enugu for just N650

With the way gej publicises the smallest commissioning... gej would have been at the forefront of this... all the media outlets would have publicised it if gej was involved...

People enter trains in lagos like ants... are you saying that people are not living in enugu or PH...

This reeks of pdp propaganda...

So you would rather settle for this mediocrity??....am not even a big fan of Buhari, I just feel we have seen what GEJ has to offer ( which isn't much ) and we should now see someone else...MHO

niqqa what has buhari achieved for himself..he's a total failure, at least he showed the world that by declaration of his assets, that dude can't even manage himself what can he bring to the fore economy wise..

Haba, Nigerians! If they had put plastic now, you'll complain and demand cushion or leather, now you have cushion and you complain that you prefer plastic. Who said cushion cannot be cleaned, the big long-haul (Luxurious) buses and airlines in Nigeria has cushion, and they're mostly well maintained. Decolonize your mind my friend, we mustn't copy everything verbatim the way western countries do it.

fitzmayowa:


Don't be an hypocrite, if someone has done something good applaud him...

You don't go about calling him clueless for something like this, let always be objective while commenting, rather than been blinded by your support for GMB and see no good in what GEJ does...

There vids of the journey to.

Its also the same type of train (same interior) that Vice President and Peter Obi (I think) took picture inside the other day. It was reprted to be a train for the PH to Enugu route.

Those talking about seats, for journeys over an hour, trust me, it needs to be cushioned seats and not the hard plastic ones. Those of us used to train travel abroad know first hand, that the use of soft seating on this journey was the right decision.

Trains abroad get dirty, but they are cleaned. Some more than others.....lol

There are other new trains in Nigeria, meant for shorter journeys that do have the plastic seating. True to form though, Nigerians on those threads still complained and even post pics of the most advanced trains in asia, to somehow prove that it is nothing.

Lol. Some people are never pleased......lol

I most times find it difficult to comprehend why we Niegrian find it difficult to appraise issue objectively..
You don't have to be PDP member to see GEJ has record achievement in some sector and give him the credit and also fault him where he has not perform.

I can authoritatively say that the trains in the pictures are of the same levels of trains that commute in Chicago called Metra. And for the records, only few cities in USA have bullet trains and so someone expecting bullet trains in the state of Nigeria's economy is for such person to be a dreamer..
