That's commendable but the kinds of refurbished locomotive engines I see here look like they were treated of kwashiorkor. This is not the kinds of trains that cover Lagos to Ibadan.

I hope it doesn't break them in the middle of the forest, thus exposing its passengers to Fulani terrorists who predominantly live in the forest.

On a serious note, the FG should extend it to Enugu, and possibly Onitsha, and see the crazy amount they will be making from that route. The Easterners are serious travellers and business people.

Those train coaches look like something from the 1940s. I hope they will bring in better ones soon.

Rubbish!!

Who is interested in that old and antiquated narrow guage train

I strongly urge all those living in ABA and Port Harcourt to reject this evil arrangement by boycotting those antiquated trains

You cannot be renovating an outdated narrow gauge track that was built by the colonial masters over 100 years ago in the 21st century.

God punish the devil!!


Hahaha! You strongly what! Lol!

Don't worry, we will share pictures, there won't be room for crowds.

On this Aba-PH narrow gauge railway, it will take far much longer, than going to Lagos-Ibadan on the standard gauge railway. They don't want uniformity in the one Nigeria they crave more than the Romans craved the Roman empire. How can a country be having different railway gauges? That means trains in one side of the country cannot travel to other side of the country. What other countries does that obtain?

There is nothing new here, except that maybe some of the rail tracks were repaired. As recent as about 10 years ago this same train was taking passengers from portharcourt to aba.

These foolish, criminal and wicked APC lullabys are all diabolically designed to keep the masses sleepy and wretched. This man is actually worse than we knew and thought. More wicked than Nigerians ever imagined. This man is on an evil mission to destroy many. From the very day he was made President the lives of many families nosedived.He keeps tightening the noose on the masses he already impoverished and cares nothing about, and then uses such nonsense as this and so called palliative to keep them drowsy while patting them on the back. Nigerians don't need your deceptive palliative. Keep your skewed palliative but improve the economy and stop mindless looting. He said he'd announce a new minimum wage on 1st May( I never believed them, anyway), now we hear the new wage is no way near. No petrol, no power supply, no food, no security, no money, no nothing. But they have trillions for unnecessary Coastal Highway. Has the East- West Rd been completed yet? After over two decades? And you have trillions to initiate another bogus project that would take 40 years or more to complete. God go judge una.
