femi4: My brother don't mind these youths. When I was growing up nothing like train or even BRT in Naija. Molue/Danfo or nothing, whether in Abuja or Warri or Agege or anywhere. |

stainlessnature: Yeah bro, because Lagos Station will be a very central stop for many lines that will be built across the nation. So it needs to be a very massive station. I'm glad they're thinking ahead. |

Enyimbamercedes:Good points. Attention should be given to commercial hubs. I'd like to see train links between industrial hubs in SW and SE - Aba-Ogun-Lagos, PH-Nnewi-Lagos, etc. I can't see the strategic thinking behind the Warri-Ajaokuta link, for instance. But I disagree with you that passenger trains aren't important. With our huge population, passenger trains will repay loans as long as they're well managed. Abuja-Kaduna is always overbooked. Lagos-Ibadan will be the same. |

JuanDeDios: Nice caveat: as long as they are well-managed! |

[quote author=Tetehjewels post=92840353] Talking of Economic input, u can't seriously take that away from South East. During 16 years of PDP, agitation has always been there for a better Nigeria, it was when all agitation fell on a dried rock and also when Kanu and his associate decided to bring it upto speed. Fairness to all region wont kill anybody rather it will unit and make the country a better place. @my place of work,our Act says that the board members shld represent the 6 geopolitical zone.....they have been in operation for over 3yrs with no single representative from Southeast. This is just an example of what is happening in this country. You all knows about this marginalization and chose to keep quiet, it will only take time till it explode and affect everyone. As an individual, always learn to stand for what is right at all time. |

kayjay69: Thanks for reminding me that OBJ started the project. Nothing much happened thereafter until the YarAdua/GEJ era though. True that we have a long way to go. If we avoid wasteful spending and focus on major infrastructural projects, we'll move at a much faster pace. Over pricing is a key issue too. May God open our eyes to do the needful soonest. |

"Obasanjo came up with the blueprint" "Yaradua signed it" "GEJ pushed for the implementation" "Buhari brought the project to fruition" Enough of this nonsense, please! As Nigerians we all should be glad of the radical changes in our nation's train sector because it is a step in the right direction. The next radical change we need is in the area of electricity- affordable and constant. May we get our priorities right in Nigeria. |

Sister, unfortunately I do not share the God part of your narrative. God has given us all that he can ever give us in terms of resources both material and human. Infact I can imagine God being tired of us Nigerians simply because we do not wish to act yet we expect some type of meaningful change. Me I have said it more than once, we all must act together and speak with one voice. But seeing as that is not possible, I have said it before that this madness you witness in our polity will never stop because the people do not have a means to hold their leadership accountable. So if Nigeria as is currently constituted is not working, will it not be best to split the bleeping thing let each go his/her own separate way. Atleast maybe some sanity will prevail in respect domains rather than this collective madness on crass display. I stand to be corrected but in my view that's just how it is. delpee: |
