Go to Rashidiya and Jabel Ali Metro Station Dubai first and you might understand why you should never include Dubai Metro in your comparison non of our international airports match their metro or train station lol. Even American tourist snap pics in amazement

Goto metros in Joburg and see real difference, never used Metro in Kigali as I only once had stop over but please Kigali isn't on that level of mediocre

The one I would had fought you over is if you had compared this to anything in Qatar or Abudhabi


Think of Dubai Metro stations as underground mall, with toilet that flushes automatically with sensors, ATMs, automated vending machine, automated metro card unit loader, elevators and escalators... Everywhere has sound system to notify you of arrival and departure, fully air-conditioned with sweet smell

I have never seen any Patriotic Nigerian who arrived Dubai, Abudhabi, or Doha who won't curse Nigeria and it's leaders for a week

DUBAI has no underground mail. The train only pass underground

Pic 2. Airport Station I guess they meant Railway Station. This country no balance at all.

By the way, the light rail is just propaganda mostly. The train that passes my side everyday is a re-furbished diesel engine that goes maybe 80km/hr. I haven't seen no light rail cab on the tracks for the past 1 year.
the light rail link the Nnamdi azikiwe international Airport na.

You do realise that picture is a digital model also called a computer generated model and not a real picture. The idu station is of the Lagos model . Have we come to the point where we now pass off computer images as how Nigeria looks for clout or for politics. BTW, these counties have moved to speed trains and electric trains, so no one will have confused these pics for Tokyo or Dubai. Not especially when these kinda trains in these countries are being phased out
you need to have your eyes checked.

it's no more gej started it, it's now about an outdated development. Haters of good news. Just acknowledge good things and be free. We have many nations without this. I'm sure you won't complain if this picture is from the USA.

Please take a look at the pic of the Abuja light rail below and you will realise Nigeria is moving forward as country, I don't care if it's PMB or GEJ that started this project all I know is am very happy my country is progressing.


We should learn to stop this rubbish of not Dubai or London. Praises like this make the dimwits of leaders not to work. There is no single rail line across the eastern province of this country. Meanwhile, this Abuja light rail station can’t be compared to train stations in Britain countryside.

Tell them bro. Some Nigerians and their hate for Nigeria is so appalling. Always in the habit of appreciating and valuing things done in other countries and when such thing is done in Nigeria, they don't value or appreciate it, instead, they will look for a reason to criticize and underrate that same thing. I really hate the mentality of some moronic and insatiable Nigerians. I bet that if this same train that they are calling locomotive and our train stations were built in Ghana or any other African country and we don't have it here Nigeria, u will see how these same confused fellows that call themselves Nigerians would troop to social to appreciate the trains and the government of that country while raining abuses to Nigerian government for not building such infrastructure in Nigeria. People of Nigeria are the problem of Nigeria not just the government alone.

My friend, I have been living here in Abu Dhbai for 3 years now and have been in UAE generally for 7 years now. U are making a good point but please learn to appreciate your own no matter how inferior they look to u. I have come to realise that in everything, marketing is very important and crucial. If UAE did not market their country very well, investors wouldn't have come here to invest and boost their economy.
