wisdom is profitable to direct.

he should have just said he and the engineers decided on 90km/h as a set standard. No one would question it.

when I read the topic, I thought the cows were being transported by the train and the speed makes them dizzy and they die. tongue

@POLITICSNGR

Nigeria's minister for Transport, Rotimi Amaechi has revealed that the Abuja-Kaduna rail line cannot run faster than 90Km/hr because the ministry does not want locomotives to kill cows.

PoliticsNGR learned that Amaechi made this comment while speaking on the complications the Nigerian government faces while making concessions.

He broke down the various problems being faced by the Country's rail system adding that Nigeria has more than enough to transport via rail.

In his words;

"The reason why we want to go back to narrow gauge is because between Lagos and Kano, we have 30 million tonnes of cargo. Even if you do three rail lines, it cannot be enough.

It took us 14 days to move coaches from Lagos to Abuja; everyday we go and ask, how far, they say we are near Ogun state… 14 days.

But if it were rail, the same day, it will get to Abuja. The kind of construction we are doing is 120 kilometers per hour (Km/h), it is a speed train.

We are doing 90km/h with Abuja to Kaduna, the reason we are doing 90km/h is because there are cows everywhere, and we don’t want to kill cows. The other day they tried 100 and they killed how many cows, and they said ‘you people should replace the cows you killed.

From that day, I have said let us maintain the 90km/h; at 120km/h you get to Kaduna in one hour. You can work in Kaduna and live in Abuja. It was initially one, but now, we have done four locomotives with 14 coaches."

What a joke. You call these Lord Lugard Locomotive Engines that crawl at a suspicious 90km-120km per hour self styled "Speed Train" when even the Chinese have stopped building them since twenty years ago. How do you describe Eurostar train? Hon. Amaechi should stop creating excuses for herdsmen especially his boss at Aso Rock that his race, the Fulani people are above the law. Cant they see the signs on these railways or cant they hear the horns of the trains coming from any directions? Or are they blind or deaf to know that what they are crossing are railtracks and not foot paths. If you actually want to help this errant Fulani herdsmen, gibe them enough incentives to keep them on their farm sttlements.

Why can't we afford barriers?
Rails could actually be designed with barriers at major flash points in the construction stage.

If you killed many cows at 100km/hr, you will still kill at 90. I believe you have to move much slower to avoid killing any animal. Which is not OK for commuting
Somehow true

Well Amaechi seems to believe that cows are valuable too. We all know that he is not a "malu" as you were saying.
