I remember how on this forum before the election, how the supporters of APC were lieing to the whole world that GEJ brought and installed locomotives.
But look at them today gradually and tactically trying to erase GEJ name from anything concerning rail transport. Some are even going as far as linking Abacha, Abdusalam with the resuscitation of the railways when it is a public knowledge that the military killed the rail transport .
Some people are really masters of treachery.

Don't mind him, rail track of over 50 year's, when the world are enjoying electric train that will take only 5/6 hours to any part.

What cost Jonathan to have construct modern rail throughout the country with the Oil boom.

Both tracks and locomotives were put in place by GEJ.

GEJ said that Nigerians will thank him when he is no longer in power and it's true.
@OP, has Buhari laid any railway track ?
Thank GEJ instead.

The clown was looking for low hanging fruits to campaign on after stealing or wasting $500 billions with nothing to show for it.
He put a few trains on ancient track paid for and rehabilitated by Abacha,Abdusalam, Obasanjo,yar adua.
He then went around town shouting transformation even though it had nothing to do with him apart from the 6 locomotives he bought.
Nigeria has been buying locomotives since I was born. The only constant is the snail trains and epileptic services .The main problem persist(It is an antiquated problem).
. The damn train breakdown, constantly derail until the next batch of locomotive is bought.
Not until obasanjo rail Road map did something Nigeria start to get serious. He set the ball rolling with Kaduna Abuja standard rail project. The road map was essentially derailed by the looting of the treasury by Jonathan and his 49 thieves.
Buhari has brought the rail Road map back on track.

OYAY:


Did GEJ constructed any track too?

Adminisher:


IGNORANCE is thinking there was no railway in Nigeria before Jonathan came. Jonathan's impact on the railway system in Nigeria is less than 5%. A lot of the noise was just LIES.
There was a railway network of thousands of miles BEFORE Nigeria was even founded . The youth of this country have been lied to too many times and they just stupidly absorb it .
These cattle from Zamfara is neither Buhari or Jonathan's doing. The man to thank is a half educated but tough leader guy called Lord Lguard

onegig:
Are all these thank you Gej crew daft?

Wtf has he done to the railway service except buying about nine extra wagons for them? What is so special about buying something that costs roughly about$30,000 each?

If you guys have never seen a train in your life or have one pass through your backyard. ...then sorry about that

But the railways have been working as far back as i know them and i know they were a constant nuisance all through my high school when they passed through every Wednesday even to the point we were made to pay N10 fine per student as far back as 2003 when a recalcitrant student stoned the cargo for Peugeot Nigeria carrying some exotic cars from Lagos to Kaduna.


So you guys can STFU. The rails are still damn slow and takes an eternity to get to your destination. There are constant breakdowns. No new improvement from what it was 60 years ago. No online booking. No onboard entertainment. For Goodness sake they still use the N1 ticket they have as far back as the 1990s as proof of payment.Just the same old slow jalopy.

If this is what you want to celebrate as an achievement then goodluck to you.

oduastates:

Putting 4 five million dollars locomotives on rail tracks rehabilitated and paid for by his predecessor is nothing to be thankful about.
Show us one thing he paid for out of the $500 billions

THE PARTY IS OVER

SIGN OF THE TIMES (PAST & PRESENT).....

BE OBJECTIVE IN READING THIS. MAYBE IT MA Y MAKE SENSE FOR ONCE

"Under President Olusegun Obasanjo, the highest price oil sold for was $60, and production was less than 2mbpd for the most part.

He parted with $12 billion to settle foreign debts, and still left FX reserves of $43 billion, out of which $9 billion was excess crude savings.

Under President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, oil went up and down, hitting $147 per barrel at some point, and sinking to $31 at its lowest.

With that, Yar’Adua raised FX reserves to $62 billion by September 2008 — the highest in our history.

This is where the Jonathan team loses the argument.

Oil sold for between $70 and $120 during his first four years in power (2010-2014) before the downward slide to $50 in 2015, when he left office.

If our reserve management was anything like what we had under Obasanjo and Yar’Adua (when, by the way, Professor Chukwuma Soludo was the CBN governor), Jonathan could have left at least $100 billion in the reserves.

If Buhari had inherited such a heft kitty, the naira would not be gasping for breath today.

Clearly, our failure to build an FX war chest in the time of plenty exposed us to the infectious diseases we are battling with today.

Why couldn’t Jonathan build robust reserves?"

-Simon Kolawole, Thisday Newspaper

Most Nigerians don't realise we've been living in The Matrix.

This subsidy removal is the red pill that may wake us up to reality.

We are poor.

We are broke.

We've been raped, pillaged, looted and left for dead.

All these years our economy has been sustained on the junk food of corruption.

We have kwashiorkor but because we look chubby we think we are healthy.

Those two bedrooms in Abuja going for N700 million. Those make up artists charging 500k and pre-wedding photo shoots for 700k. Aso ebi for 90k.

Buying Rolexes and Ferraris.

Range Rover Sport all over Lagos like keke napep.

It is all fake.

It's all a mirage.

We've all been living off the spoils of corruption.

That's why the country is so hard now. No money circulating.

Because no money to steal and rent flats and shops for girlfriends.

For civil servants to pay bogus tithes of N500k.

For senators to spray dollars at their daughters' weddings.

For Lagos BIG Boys to spend N2m every Friday night at nightclubs and AY Live & other Comedy Shows.

It's time to face reality.

The party is over. Now we may see the real Nigeria and Nigerians.

Now that money will go into our roads and bridges and hospitals.

It will benefit those who don't have a rich corrupt uncle with connections in oil and gas.

Those who can't travel to Dubai to celebrate birthdays.

Those who don't know what Coldstone ice cream tastes like.

Hopefully the Real Estate markets will surely crash.

The theives with 15 houses in Abuja FCT with uncountable fleet of luxury automobile will definitely be forced to sell them fast for cash.

I would prefer if EFCC seized and auctioned them, though.

All those in the service industry will have to revaluate their pricing.

You can't charge 500k to paint faces anymore; free money don finish.

Welcome to the REAL world.

THE PARTY TRULY IS OVER!!!

guy this guy has the ability to stop the railway project. he did not do that, the railways will be enjoyed by the masses looking for who to praise for your Right shows how shallow you are
