It was not meant to generate profit, if not they would have considered linking South East and South South

It was built with loans from china , this is where the problem is , how do you pay back the loan for a failed project. An analysis we carried out 2019 on the project showed it was heading for a big failure , Chinese police are already in the country to have their loans paid back

The rail project was just a repeat of the failed, bungled steel project of the 70s, rail projects has worked all over Africa, Including countries like Ethiopia, Kenya. Tanzania, South Africa but failed in Nigeria, because Nigerians don't and never build to boost the economy rather they build to favor their zones

Tinubu should borrow over five hundred billion dollars to build the country.
No other solution except to borrow big amount of money.

When they are doing the same thing for decades expecting different results, when it's hard for them to enter brand news commercial buses to their destinations just like easterners, how can they afford modern train,see the reason why no commercial transporter succeed in the north or west same with airline owners , that's why the new railway lines in the north and west are not making profit just to buy diesel not to talk of generate money to be able to pay back the loan collected for the project

All your post are always laced with bigotry,that is why I always give it back to you in same measure.you are a very stupid ethnic keyboard warrior.

Nigeria will simply veto your admittance into ECOWAS .

I have been thinking of this but who looses last last , the rail project is on its way to becoming the world worst white elephant project , if the rail project had covered the east , some igbos would prever to convey whole families, villages to and from east for Xmas, Easter, weddings ,traditions ceremonies etc .
Nigeria lost big time on this, any time they marginalise the east they set Nigeria back by 50 years. they refused to build a steel project in the east and Ajaokuta and other rolling mills never worked, again they built only 1 Airpor in Enugu and the Airports they built all over the country are now being used by rodents and Animals. The starved the east of Sea ports and the ports they funded have turned to dead spots with clogged up roads, These people never learn , they starved eastners during the war and today are IDPs camps in all the Nigeria Geop political zones that comspired against the East with Soviet Union fighting within them selves and Britain in big economic decline

You are spot on my brother.
I believe train routes from the north, west to the east and vice versa would have been very profitable. But in their wisdom or rather foolishness, they preferred unviable routes just to spite the easterners.
Imagine taking a loan to build rail lines to connect Niger republic while the most viable routes in the country is neglected.
Ameachi should be ashamed of himself

You'd be surprised how unprofitable railways are. Many of the countries you listed above may also be making losses on their railway network.

What is necessary now is to allow private companies to invest in the railway sector by utilizing already existing railway tracks. I am sure Dangote would jump at it with both hands and many other companies. It is only through that the nation may achieve maximum utilization of the railways.
