No route can make 20% of their running cost not to talk about being profitable

Those trains are just loan wasted on feel good projects

You are very correct, but rails are an essential component of industrial development.

In my opinion, the first focus should have been on building cargo rails to connect industrial centres/areas. That would have been more profitable, reduce the wear and tear of having large vehicles on the roads and improve road safety.

Yes the are essential but building them with loan is foolishness especially when revenue is less than debt servicing and recurrent expenditure like Nigeria

It's same as a struggling man using loan to build mansion in his village

Egypt is building a new capital with loan, they are running on huge debts, I'm sure experts like you will criticize it if it's Nigeria.

Thank GOD for life

Passengers on the affected coaches were transferred to other coaches and the train continued its journey to Kubwa before arriving at its final destination in Idu at about 12.40pm.

Because at the end, the government won't let them be profit making concerns...

It's kind of something around the world...Germany has a good rail system that loses money by the billions. At least their tax to gdp can cover it. Nigeria's can't.

I reckon these are the type of basic projects that Nigeria needs to provide 21st century utilities for the people?

Imagine the cavemen we share a country with.
