Nigerians on social media have reacted to a video in which a helicopter was accompanying a train to its destination. This is apparently an effort to safeguard the train against bandits’ attacks.

The video which was shared by Echefula Wisdom attracted many negative reactions. According to the reactions that followed the video on Twitter, it is a waste of resources for Nigeria to make use of the helicopter in protecting the train.

According to some commentators, bandits could easily attack the helicopter.

Below are some of the reactions as gathered by WonderTV Media.

The Prince:

This is total nonsense. Why are we wasteful in Nigeria? An helicopter patrolling our rail lines or escorting trains. Who cursed Nigeria? How much is the total maintenance cost of the chopper per trip and how much is the train generating? I really don’t understand why?

Abdul MET:

I’m sorry. This is not a solution. Who’s paying for the helicopter. If it’s just for surveillance, they should use drones.
Use attack helicopters (if available) to eliminate the bandits in their hideouts in the bush.

Blessed:

The next you will hear is that military mistakenly bombed the train. What a gullible set of people in power, very unsustainable and myopic.

iβ~¥ür ®$™:

I think people should just enter the helicopter already instead of wasting fuel for both and no bandits in the air…

HMMM

Okay

Just negodi!...
What simple technology can solve but this abokis will rather keep misbehaving.

Have they forgotten the bandits can bring down the helicopter?
I won't be surprised if the bandits now have armored tanks.

Not a viable measure though but trust Nigerians to still complain for no reason.

Waste of money.

And that chopper can be brought down with anti-aircraft missile by those terrorists/bandits.

Maybe Rotimi Amaechi dey inside d train

Short of words



But why! Nigeria

When you understand that Nigeria is God's personal comic relief, things like this would cease to bother you. It's all according to divine design.

GOD: I want to punish Africans....especially Nigerians


Angels: How sir?


GOD: Appoint brain-dead leaders to rule over them


Angels: You are a genius




Are we not doom bayiiiiii?

This failed country is just a huge comic joke.

For how long are we going to continue like this as a nation

Must be some power brokers. Them wan Chill.

I once said, TERRIOST go collat those newly equipped helicopters and others planning to arrive in the country...

Can you see how this administration is thinking?? Northern thinking, helicopter go dey monitor train � movement to and fro..

We don enter am

Nigeria as a contraption is a waste of scarce resources.....and destinies!

What will the total cost of a train ride be at the end of these attempts to treat the symptoms and not the problem?

The chopper belive it or it is a bandit magnet. Means the train has VIPs on board.

I tire jare. A simple satellite sweep should be able to pinpoint bh camps, but here we are

Continue to elect myopic leaders. We haven't seen anything. Very soon, helicopter will follow politicians around.

We can count the number of leaders/politicians that genuinely love this country. They ain't up to 10.

We are ALL hypocrites. We have no iota of love for this country. If we do, by now, we should know where to swing.

Let's plead with the Judiciary to affirm the law and stop cross carpeting. That will give our democracy the stability we want.

Let's discuss objectively & constructively where we should swing without any form of sympathy.

If we want a better and one Nigeria, it lies in our hands.

Helicopter guiding/accompanying a train?

That idea is as dumb as anything one can think of...

Was it not in this same Naija that bandits brought down a jet...not to talk of helicopter

Bandits are still collecting their ransom, when they are done...the rest will be on news

A vote for Tinubu is a vote for peace and security of the country.

-Okoro bufo

Theatre of the absurd.

Wasteful and useless

Complain complain complain

Stupidity at its best!!

1RPG and Land Mine, both the train and chopper are gone.

This is not a sustainable model of security.

Government thinking like toddlers
Drone surveillance are cheaper with stationed forces at alert

Who voted this people into power?

Are our leaders 5 years old?
I Taya for their reasonings

The best description of iberiberism

5th world country

This is so archaic. What day hell!

The piloted helicopter is armed with missile nau. When he spots bandits trying to attack the train he will fire the missile.
