My only concern is why is it that most of the affairs of Nigeria re always headed by those from a particular region? The most funny thing is these same set of people gain admission with very low scores, get employed through quota system yet they keep heading every public offices 2 Likes |

A train ride falls under transportation, and transportation is one of the essential sectors of Nigeria. Speaking essentially, let me put it into perspective for you, for a country and a mega city which wishes to develop, it is important it has good rail network. If there are good train networks in Lagos today, 50% of traffic congestion would be solved. Now talking about privatization, it is not a bad idea, because it will help drive efficiency, but right now i think it ought to be left to the government to develop and build rail tracks first and as time goes on it can then allow private trains operate on government tracks, just the way there are private airline companies and road transport companies. that way, government still maintains majority control.

Obiaksnews:As long as there are reasonable alternatives, it is not essential. Railways stations were dead for several years, that didn't cause a calamity. Some states don't even have any rail tracks. You talk about "important". But important is not essential. The government currently subsidies rail transport which shouldn't be so. The government may continue building tracks but the management should be handed over to the private who can make it profitable. |

Re: NRC Speaks On Abuja-Kaduna Train Breakdown, Apologises To Passengers by Obiaksnews: 11:15am On Nov 28, 2019 |
I understand why you would term " Trains ride or Rail way services" as not essential because we live in a country like Nigeria where we get the barest minimum and make do with it. Imagine what would happen in a city like New york or Beijing if all the train stations are to go on strike. The city would be on turmoil. More than half of the work force in these cities depend on trains to get to work every day. In new york an average of 5.7 million people use the sub way per day. Now imagine if this option is taken away from them and they have to make do with roads, do you know the chaos that would cause ? Xisnin: 1 Like |

Obiaksnews:The fact that you had to leave Nigeria to support your position shows that I was right to begin with. Rail travel is not an essential service in Nigeria. For the road travel that is essential, the government is not even a major stakeholder. The only way forward is to privatize the Nigerian railway. The subsidy saved can be used for better development projects. |
Re: NRC Speaks On Abuja-Kaduna Train Breakdown, Apologises To Passengers by Obiaksnews: 11:28am On Nov 28, 2019 |
Seems you don't get me, i am not saying Nigerian can't do without trains for now, but i am saying for Nigeria to develop and for we to have mega cities then we need effective rail way systems. That's why i used Lagos as a case study in the first place. People lose millions of man hours in traffic every week in Lagos because there are no other major alternatives to transportation. Talking about privatization, i already made my point clear on that. privatization is not a bad idea, but i doubt any private firm would want to invest in our rail way systems for now when we don't even have complete tracks linking the country at the moment, do you know how much it cost the government to build tracks from one state to the other ? That's why i said for now let the Government continue handling the railway system and when it becomes standardized enough then private investors can be allowed to come in. for now there are no platforms the private firms would operate on.
