First they used to ask for video evidence.
Now that we have it, they will try to claim that this video is doctored by APC. PDP and lies are jolly bedfellows.

Just check out the number of people whose lives have been positively affected by GEJ's transformation agenda.
I could count at least 2000 people using that train and that is just one trip!

Before you unwittingly run off celebrating mediocrity, take a look at what Taiwan did with just $3.4Billion. 30 state of the art trains.

The THSR 700T - Taiwan High Speed Rail (Cost $3.4 billion US)
This operates on the high-speed line between Taipei and Kaohsiung in Taiwan. The train entered into service with Taiwan High Speed Rail in January 2007.
It operates at a speed of 300kmph reducing the journey time between the two cities from four hours to just 90 minutes.
It was constructed by Kawasaki, Hitachi and Nippon Sharyo. Based on Kawasaki's 700 series Shinkansen trains, the 700T was the first Taiwanese rolling stock to import Japanese high speed rail technology.
The total investment for manufacturing the initial 30 trains in the series reached about NT$100bn ($3.4bn).courtesy of Oduastates


Meanwhile Nigeria has sunk to $70Billion debt under GEJ from $21Billion under Yar'adua.

The video only showcases the usual rowdy nature of Lagos, the same applies to road transport in the city. That was a rowdy but very effective train ride as evidenced by the number of people transported.
Here is a video of a more comfortable and classy train ride in another part of Nigeria.

Stop comparing apples and oranges.
Plans for the Taiwan highs speed rails started in 1990 and the project finally materialised in 2007, a whooping 17 years, yet you want GEJ to perform magic in 5 years? You have to walk before you run.
You guys are extremely shameless.
After months of delays and false starts, Taiwan’s 345km (220 mile) high-speed line between Taipei and Kaohsiung finally opened for service on 5 January 2007 , when the first fare-paying passengers boarded a 700T trainset at Panchaio station. Plans were first drawn up for a high-speed rail line between Taipei and Kaohsiung, Taiwan's two largest cities, in the early 1990s, and the route is seen as a major threat to passenger volumes by airline companies, not least because rail fares are lower than air. Plans for the high-speed line were developed to
tackle continuing growth in traffic between the 'big two' cities, with Government officials looking to the example of Japan with its well-advanced system of dedicated high-speed routes linking major cities.

Wriggle out of this one....Mr. fruits. Big projects are not rocket science. Ethiopia planned and is eeuting this hydroelecric project which is even at larger scale than a railways project.

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, Benishangul-Gumuz Region, Ethiopia (Cost: $4.8 Billion US)
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD or Taehige), formerly known as the Millennium Dam and sometimes referred to as Hidase Dam, is a gravity dam on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia currently under construction. It is in the Benishangul-Gumuz Region of Ethiopia, about 40 km (25 mi) east of the border with Sudan.
At 6,000 MW, the dam will be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa when completed, as well as the 8th largest in the world sharing the spot with Krasnoyarskaya.The reservoir at 63 billion cubic meters will be one of the continent's largest. According to the Ethiopian government, as of October 2014, the dam is 40% complete.
The Ethiopian government funds the entire cost of the dam ($4.8 billion US) by itself.

See the kind of project APC plebs said we should copy.
Taiwan High Speed Rail bankruptcy is imminent: transportation minister
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Minister of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) Yeh Kuang-shih (葉匡時) yesterday stated that deteriorating finances at the Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation (THSR, 高鐵) may result in imminent bankruptcy in March next year, during a Legislative Yuan session yesterday. As of June this year, the THSR had accumulated losses of NT$47 billion, and is currently embroiled in 39 lawsuits relating to redemption of preferred
shares by its investors. Most notably, reports suggest that the outlook of four of the 39 preferred shares lawsuits appear to be especially grim as judges have ruled in favor of
investors in the court of first instance. The Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. may be required to furnish NT $53.3 billion to pay off investors as they exercise their option to redeem holdings of preferred shares, backed by order of the courts. Under tremendous financial strain, the THSR may buckle as soon as March of next year. Once bankruptcy is declared, the THSR is expected to go under government receivership, wiping out the fortunes vested in the company by its five founding shareholders and more than 60,000 members of the investing public. In addition, losses incurred by the THSR are likely to be covered by the nation's taxpayers. Meanwhile, efforts at turning around the THSR's troubled finances have yet to yield tangible improvements. Citing three inevitable factors, the THSR had once urged the government to provide the ailing rail service with funds of NT$397.4 billion. A government takeover of THSR is expected to cost more than NT$390 billion. In addition to the challenges of providing alternative employment for the rail service's 3,500-strong staff, reports suggest that it may take as long as 59 years to repay interest costs and principal from loans taken on by the THSR. A recent financial improvement plan submitted by the THSR called to expend NT$39.2 billion to meet preferred share redemption obligations, followed by a NT$39.1 billion capital reduction, then a NT$30 billion cash injection to enable government- affiliated stakeholders to control 41 percent of THSR. The MOTC also approved the extension of the concession period for the THSR from the current 35 years to 75 years. The Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp., however, will no longer be able to hike its prices without the approval of governing bodies.
Although the newly proposed THSR pricing structure warranted a 7.5-percent reduction, with the price for a trip from Taipei to Kaohsiung set to be decreased from NT$1,630 to NT$1,530, the adjusted price still exceeds the NT$1,490 recorded prior to a price hike initiated in October last year, drawing the ire of opposition party lawmakers during yesterday's Legislative Yuan session. In response, Yeh noted that forthcoming fare
adjustments have not been finalized.
