Watch out after 0ne year

Amacaco:
May this be replicated in other parts of the Federation so that the masses will enjoy the benefits of the democratic system instead of pains all the time.

Starting withthe Lagos to Ibadan. This route is LOOONNNG overdue. It will greatly reduce motor accidents on the Lagos-Ibadan express way and reduce the heavy traffic stress on that road.

Why not go for leather seats ? These seats can get worn out in no time.

Amaechi is like Mordecai in the bible trying to steal anothers persons glory. He is only caching in on another man's idea and projects, he should be original and do he own initiatives. Nigerians are wiser now.

Nigeria lack maintenance

Who are the Nigerian's?

It looks good, just like most new things. To manage this train, rail and station, it's important to put a few things in place.
1. Privatize the entire system or allow a private company buy up equity shares and operate the train, remitting profit to govt. based on its equity.
2. Ensure the right expert are engaged, where there is a gap, train the workers.
3. Train shouldn't do above its capacity.
4. Hire a facility management company to independently handle maintenance.

Should the appropriate authority put all these in place we will be guaranteed of a long lasting train service at the right fare. N600 for a 150km/hr train is ridiculous and shows a lack of understanding just the same way the stadia have been handled.

God bless you

Is there a website for this train service? Can I book a seat online?




Good development but the only fear is the maintenance culture.

God bless GEJ

This is a monumental achievement of present administration although over 70% of the project was done by GEJ's administration. I want to beg the govt of the day to privatise the management of the train system in order that it might last up to 8 years.

Kudos to goodluck Jonathan, the great Nigerian president of all times. You also try small president buhari.

Wailers....una can like to dress d image of ur hero. A good image needs no dressing, it speaks for itself. But no p, continue, its what u are paid for.

Maintenance is all I ask from them

DropShot:
Looks decent enough.

May many of this come to Nigeria.

Kudos to all that had one thing or the other to do with this project.

From OBJ who birthed the idea to Yar'Adua who renegotiated and funded part of the project. From GEJ who also paid part of the counterpart funding (he could have actually completed the project in 2014 if he paid all) to PMB who crossed all the T's and put dots on all the I's.

God bless you. True Nigerians should reason the way you do. TOGETHER, we make things work.

Somebody would jump on this thread and shout "Nigeria lacks a maintenance culture" the same person would suck the living daylight out of an orange and throw it out of the window of a moving vehicle.

Together, we can make this country great again but It must first come from within.

Only one train route and politicians are making a noise, SA have over 20 routes and don't make noise.

Finish with all routes first then make noise.

Would be happy if a private firm is contracted for the maintenance.

He/she must be a joker who believes that Buhari as president can replicate this type of train services in the SS and SE.

He/she who truly believes that these train services shall be replicated in the SS and SE by Buhari as president of Nigeria must be a joker.

It's pretty low and most likely won't sustain the budget for maintenance.

make dem no spoil am oh!!make sand sand no full everywhere oh!make ona no tear the chairs and put chewing gum for seat oh...

Yeah, you're correct. I just remember that Jonathan doesn't like commissioning projects. My bad!

DropShot:

Let's hope this will mark beginning of departure from that culture.

you can't cheat nature

Others are enjoying modern trains,we're here celebrating mediocrity.That 18th century third hand train used before the world war is what the self acclaimed giant of Africa is celebrating.I pity this country and her useless leaders.

If we should know how much that was spent to acquire that thing,we'll know that it isn't worth celebrating because it's worthless.Stupid display of useless achievement and the whole hearted acceptance by the citizens remains the bane of development in Nigeria.
