How may useless PR "plans" will the MAD Jonathan government make before it gets anything done? Nothing has come of all the plans that were in the works for a long time: corruption is getting worse, security getting worse, boko haram, Jos, unemployment all getting worse. Yet it is plan to overtake Egypt and SA, rail service, etc, etc? Jonathan, his useless government and the more useless people who voted for this more-useless-than-Yaradua-government are the reason where this country is going nowhere!

Beaf:

You didn't vote. In fact you are not even in Nigeria, so why insult the millions who did their civic duty?

ShipIt:

This is typical of our FG, trying to fly before learning to crawl. Talking about rail networks and intra city trains without even achieving a stable power grid. This is actually a very dangerous proposal that can lead to numerous accidents and deaths. What happens if the signals that guide these trains fail due to a lack of power?what of the train networks traffic control center, who will man it? Are they assured power without interruption? Is our communications infrastructure strong enough to support such a large operation? Will the Chinese company be held to high standards of workmanship or are they just gonna do it on the cheap? Who is going to maintain this rail network and how? I'm not just talking about putting s*** down on paper as usual but actually getting it done, Frankly I think the FG should rethink this plan and reorganize their priorities. Doing a project like this the "Nija Way" is a public Hazard of epic proportions

A lot of us are just pretending we have lost faith in the Govt while in truth we have lost faith in ourselves. I wonder how many pple on this forum actually know anything about rail transport. You think laying rail tracks is like digging soak away pit? It takes time and money. Someone went as far as saying they shd give us power instead of rail (alarming to hear such comments) If you read carefully it was the minister of TRANSPORT that spoke, you don't expect him to tell you about power, that's not his portfolio.

Keyboard experts make una leave us o

When you kids grow up, get jobs and start paying taxes you will perhaps come to the understanding that non-performing Governments should be taken to task for their failings.

edicolove:

But they haven't failed yet. They just mentioned their plans. So what failure are you taking them to task for? cynicism is a very terrible disease you know.

Moreover, the power sector is already recording huge success. Oh, I forgot you are typing from Vietnam. Sorry. Anyway, this is to inform you that the power project is already recording big improvements as Lagos is now enjoying huge success in power supply. some places have been enjoying 24 hours light for a while now. My friend in Lekki confirms light has not bliked for 6 days now. Something that has never happened before in the history of Nigeria.

While the Power sector reform roadmap targeted total power generation of 7,033 megawatts of electricity by April 2011, actual power generation as of Tuesday, July 12 was a dismal 3,200 megawatts.

This is still a far cry from the 5,755 megawatts of power government technocrats said would be the realistic delivery target by the end of the first quarter of this year.

So lets keep praying for our presido to do better and sustain it. Kerosine is now between 65 and 95 Naira a litre across lagos while a few stations sell at 50 Naira. We hope that also improves with time. We need more prayers for the rail system. Forget those people who dont believe in Nigeria. Let them naturalized wherever they are, we dont care.
