Ordinary diesel locomotive train that has no more than 5 coaches is what they are crowing about. In Tokyo all trains are high speed electric trains going at speeds over 320km/hr. The length of each train stretches for over 300 metres

Our 5 coach diesel locomotive is huffing and puffing at maximum snail speed of 70km/h .

We are truly shameless

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.

In case you don't know or have not travelled our before, they dont use this type of obsolete train in Dubai.

I doubt if u have even step your foot outside your state, Africa ,or even interact with the northern, eastern or southern Africa nationality ...

because if you have you will know u are far far ahead of many africa country and they look up to you....

but last last I will not still blame you Bec this is a faceless forum so u are free to get bitter
Bro they will never know how great Nigeria is compared to these African countries. I was talking with one Rwanda national here in Canada, he was like all the promotion of Rwanda is all packaging,they are really lacking behind and look up to Nigeria. Beside Rwanda is just one city country. After kigali..nothing else. The Kigali self can't stand port Harcourt.

Sometimes I tire for Nigerians

I keep saying it ,when u don't believe your self or your house hold ,no body will respect you ,
take a look at nigeria in UAE currently ,the UAE govt have the audacity to drive Emirates flight to 9ja to pick up passengers but will not allow 9ja flight to come into the country to drop 9jas in UAE ,,,na see finish be that ,,
no matter how bad UAE economy is they don't come on social media to rubbish the country image , because that will go a long way , maybe the government has suffered us to the extent that we couldn’t keep suffering and smiling

we don't believe in ourselves at all ,the govt might not be good ,but some are making effort for a better 9ja ,they too met errors in the office when they came into power

we don't appreciate what we have ,that's y other little country or nationality look down on us ,

Sometimes, when I read about using some of these countries as yardstick of development to assess Nigeria, I feel somehow.
If Nigeria and her leaders have removed corruption, nepotism, tribalism and political intolerance, so many countries would have bn using us to challenge other countries on what development should look like.

We have all it will take to make every country to be lining up just to access Nigeria visa to just come and have a taste of what Nigeria looks like. Now almost every country don't want to see us.

Now see the kind of thing we are boasting of. Something that we should be among the first countries that have it.

Shame of a Nation

Bro they will never know how great Nigeria is compared to these African countries. I was talking with one Rwanda national here in Canada, he was like all the promotion of Rwanda is all packaging,they are really lacking behind and look up to Nigeria. Beside Rwanda is just one city country. After kigali..nothing else. The Kigali self can't stand port Harcourt.

This people are highly ....., the reason they are insulting this pic is because it isn't highly edited like the ones those countries they are praising post, I've said this many a times that Nigeria should learn to advertise and market her country well with the media same way all those countries are
Re: Abuja Light Rail: This Is Not Dubai, Tokyo, London, But Abuja by Olumyco(m): 10:17am On Sep 22, 2020
We need to learn to appreciate good things.
There are four cities in Africa that have light rail and they are:

1. Abuja, Nigeria

2. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

3. Port Louis, Mauritius

4. Tunis, Tunisia

Many people dont know the information above. For Nigeria to have a light rail that conveys people from the City centre to the Airport is a great development but many wont see that.

If this pics were to be from South Africa or Kenya or another city in Africa, people will not let us rest and begin to hype the country and throw tantrums at Nigeria as if we are stagnant. Our growth might be slow but we are not doing badly like the way some of us portrays it here. What you and I need to always think about is how you we too can contribute to the progress of the country.
