COMPAQ:


Stop hanging on to the Nigeria of 1970. Nigeria of today cannot afford bullet trains. Not every country in Europe has bullet train. America has no bullet train, UK has no proper bullet train (high speed, yes, bullet no). I have taken train from London to Manchester and London to Bournemouth and also Lagos to Ibadan. While I would say the UK one was a bit more modern than the Lagos Ibadan train, but not by a whole lot. However, ours was equally as comfortable, but much slower.

Even if corruption in Nigeria were to be zero, Nigeria is still a relatively poor country by per capita standards. Yes, we would get a lot more done, but not to the extent of bullet trains. Its easy to compare Nigeria to Kuwait, UAE, Saudi etc but look at the population difference alone!! Nigeria is 220mln, UAE is 10mln while Kuwait is 3mln. That means Nigeria is 22times more populous than UAE. And both of them produce more oil than we do.

That is like comparing a man with salary of 500k a month with 3 kids and another man with same N500k a month with 66kids!!!

This false sense of "we are a rich country" is what continues to keep Nigeria poor as we continue to subsidize petrol. What Nigeria could do in terms of subsidy in 1980 with population of 70mln and maybe 5mln cars on the roads cannot be the same in 2023 with 220mln people and maybe 30mln cars on the roads!!

We have to face up to our current reality and adjust our ways of managing this economy!!

Baba God bless you for this...yr head get oil! Very funny lots just wake up and cook up anything to badmouth the little we are able to achieve! Should we be way better than this-Yes, but equating us with all those countries is a big NO NO considering our current realities.

Listen, you dunce. Subways exist in Africa, and not every nation in the ''advanced world'' has subways, as they are not always necessary or cost-effective.

It has nothing to do with being ''advanced'' or not ''advanced''. It is a matter of engineering convenience, topography, climate, cost, and other issues, so get rid of your inferiority complex, you dolt.

OriOko88 for you :
Everybody just dey form woke by criticising upandan. Now you have been schooled, take your L and rest.

Thank you Napata77 for schooling him small.

Dear Fellow Nigerians, especially those who have not decided who to vote for in the Presidential election

This is not about ethnicity or religion, it is about putting the right peg in the right holes
Do not allow them to use religion sentiment or your ethnic background to woo you.

Anambra, its a state I have been visiting since the days of Mbadinuju down to the days of Ngige to Peter Obi, to the days of Obiano till the present days of Prof Soludo.

There is no community or village in Anambra, that you will describe to me as a regular visitors. Not only do I visit, Awka, Nnobi,Nnewi, Ichi, Agulu, Eugu Ukwu, ObI, Adazi Ani , Onitsha, downfly over, Ihiala, Oba, Ichida, Oko and the rest communities / villages, No community, that i do not know,

Likewise, Lagos, no communities is align to me.
Adamawa. Hong, Song, Mubi, Yola, Jimeta all, are not new to me

Now, the decision is about, what and what did these men/ candidates put in their respective states when they had the opportunity as a Gov
What were their records and antecedents, what can you say are their signatures that you can still see?
Are there continuity in the projects they executed when they were in office?
Do not allow anyone to fool you with one Obidents nonsense,
When Obi was Gov, check the thread his kinsmen created describing his performance
Who failed as a Gov, definitely he is not qualified as a President.
Read the thread from Nairaland, what his people/ kinsmen said when he was a Gov below.

Mentioning Anambra alongside Lagos showed that you are a fool. I would have commented further but no need because your foolishness stinks and you can't learn.

After una go dey yab China

See how they are beautifying Africa

WHO has seen the current state of the 'Oshodi THUG Terminal?' The place is in utter disarray!

Let's see the state of the train station, by this time next month. Total lack of DISCIPLINE and MAINTENANCE!

Let's be honest, no state is developing faster than Lagos state since 1999.

If you like, say because it was once a capital and has seaports and the rest. The ones that have oil revenue nko? What are they doing in their states?

Remove sentiments that's blocking your eyes to see.

HROfficial:


If you strip away all the mutual verbal abuse, what he is trying to communicate to you is that a subway system does not always make sense. Not all cities have them in what you term the "advanced world". Lagos is a low-lying coastal city with most of its coastline being at or below sea level. Digging underground tunnels that wouldn't flood and kill everyone in them would not be impossible, but would be incredibly complex and prohibitively expensive. Most other cities with such topography opt for an above ground metro system. It is simply more sensible.

Secondly, we are all well aware that we are not an "advanced world" country. We cannot afford to build "advanced world" systems for the most part. According to travelstatsman.com, it would cost around $325 billion to build the equivalent of the London Underground today. If it were to be built in Lagos, it would cost at least twice that because we would have to import virtually all the materials and much of the expertise. Please, where would the whole of Nigeria, much less Lagos, find that kind of money? The Lagos metro is fit for purpose, and built within the limitations of topography and budget. Let us celebrate it and pray for more.

Extremely well said!!

Afamed:


Just show me the BRT lane you have in Anambra, I will credit you with $200 immediately

Children of frustration and bitterness.

Every tout is claiming to be from Lagos now.

agreed the advanced world have moved from this,they should show us one in Anambra governed by Mr Obi. This is the definition of structure. You laid the foundation,others build on it. Not the road built by Obi, condemned by Obiano, reconstructed by Soludo...rogues.

We will always ignore the insult and focus on the votes, Asiwaju himself receives over how many insults in a day, yet he is not moved

My brother , the last Molue, {state owned public transport} in Anambra from Nitel at Onitsha down to Awka.

It is worse than those Molue you see in Oshodi in 80s/ 90s

Afamed:


Which of the advance world do you have in your state ?

Children of bitterness and frustration

Several parts of Lagos state still looks like this though

OriOko88:
Impressive. But d advanced world have moved past this. What we have now is metro line,and sub ways. We still hv a long way to go in Africa.

Africa be no get sense of technology when advanced world did.

Thread for Urchins & Zombies to display their Stupidity and Mediocrity.

Leave matter for Mathias
If u go there na after 2 years ,na alaye shit u go dey see everywhere

Rebelutionary:

The US doesn't have a bullet train and they are doing just fine!

So are you now comparing yourself to the US? Japan and China have it and they’re doing ok must you think less? Nigeria is among 10 oil producing nations in the world yet we don’t have steady power supply, why is this happening? Because you and I always settle for less and don’t task governments to do more even take side with corrupt leaders or vote for them even though we know they are not fit to run for office, we need to change our ideology in regards to national issues

Londonderry:
See how they will rush here now and praise Tinubu balablu because the train is blue

Calm down, you'll know what's up on Feb 26th.

Roboto11:


Mumu, what countries have you visited, let's compare.

Monkey.

Your father,baboon.

OriOko88:

Your father,baboon.

E pain am.

OP which one exactly is for Lagos state? because mobolaji & Ebute-meta train stations are FG train stations not for LASG. Stop mixing both 2geda.

Unlike Obi who had no masterplan for Anambra, Tinubu's masterplan for Lagos is working! even if it isn't perfect yet.

Afamed:

Children of bitterness and frustration

Yet another Tinubu supporter/crumbs muncher spotted.

When will you have your independence and free from political emasculation/subjugation??

Man up and stop being serf to your principal. Shishi you won't get if he wins.

After some weeks now it will not be functional again
Nonsense

OriOko88:

U re daft. Im lecturing you on Wat's obtainable in d advanced world, u are here capping nonsense. Tell me one advanced world that doesn't HV metro or subway. Do they all have same topography as u ignorantly excused.
Subway and metro are d new world order if u want ur city to be categorized as megacity,youve got to provide such sophisticated infrastructures

. So be humble and be attentive u dingbat.

Spain,uk,canada, has only 3metro systems.. netherlands 2. singapore,malaysia,thailand,sweden,greece,norway,qatar has only one..
This are advanced nations.. lets argue to learn not to become more ignorant..

Babaibe:

You are celebrating a federal train station in Lagos while Anambra has just built an international airport? Anambra no be ur mate abeg

colestephan86:

How jandor wan take win sanwo olu, I never still understand o

Jandor is definitely a comedian,just check his running mate and past utterances to better u.stand his mindset..

A quick painful reminder...for you to be president, you must have the highest number of voted and have a minimun of 25% of 24 states including FCT..

Do you really think your candidate can pull this off? hopes and faith dont win election, its all about practical reality.

If Tinubu a muslim is rejected in the North one wonders why an Igbo man has hope grin grin grin grin grin

Come rain or sunlight, atiku is the next president.

He is the only one acceptable in all geo political zones.

If care is not taken Atiku and Bat might get higher votes that obi in SE.

Urchins will say Tinubu commissioned this project

Tzar:
Unlike Obi who had no masterplan for Anambra, Tinubu's masterplan for Lagos is working! even if it isn't perfect yet.

Tinubu has nothing to do with this project

dazzlingd:


I was about to say same thing. I've used train even in US and It was like a horror movie. Old infrastructure that needed modernisation. Even England, some trains remind you of coal era.
The only thing is that overall, they are still much more advanced but that doesnt mean the whole street glitters with gold.

The major thing we never learned from the western world is their support for their country,total patriots.. usa as a whole has used the hollywood machine to churn out beautiful patriotic propaganda via their movies/music to make their country eldorado, its only few independent movie producer/actor activists that show the flaws of their society via their movies albeit at great personal and monetary risk...
For every ghetto,bad road and abandoned public infrastructures in nigeria, usa has x10 of such.. While they attract the best minds to their country through their media propaganda, nigerians only joy is bringing each other down, while our nollywood still focus their scripts on amadioha, sango, rituals and archaic ideas .

Napata77:


You are a small, ignorant kid full of lip, so let me school you.

A metro system is an intra-city network that may or may not have underground tracks depending on several factors as earlier mentioned.

There is nothing particularly 'advanced' about having underground lines, as all it takes is digging and tunnelling. The British were doing this over 100 years ago using antiquated machinery.

They make more sense in cold, temperate climates where the enclosure underground provides natural heating, and are very costly in humid, tropical nations with their need for expensive 24/7 cooling and ventilation systems.

NIGERIA is ranked among the few African nations with a metro system, one in Lagos and the other in Abuja.

There are 'advanced' European and Asian nations, and nations in the Americas, with NO metro systems, as shown in this map.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metro_systems#/media/File:World_Metro_systems.svg

So get rid of your complex and low self esteem.

You are the man,pls don't reply that dunce ignorant again, simply ignore him and let him wallow in in his ignorance.

Omo see the way we dey celebrate train
