There's a route from Lagos through Kogi and Niger. This not the first time hearing about it but if you are oblivion to this, there is no need arguing with you.
That's a big fat lie

There's no such route

There are two major routes to Abuja from Lagos

One passes through Niger (A124) the other passes through Kogi (A2)
None of the two is below 700km

According to him, the bullet train traveling at 250 km/hr, will cut Lagos-Abuja travel time from 10 hours by road to just 3 hours. The Super Highway will reduce travel time to 5 hours.”

Guys honestly I can't wait for this project to become reality. We miss alot of quality and fantastic infrastructure other countries enjoy.

Lagos to Abuja route is just like Istanbul to Ankara (Turkey) route, I took the road trip to the Nigeria Embassy and it was fantastic..very smooth road. Also train btw Istanbul and Ankara very fast.

One really wish this quality infrastructure in Nigeria.

The one entering Niger state is still ongoing. That's Kano - Niger

Besides, it has addressed the transportation needs in some areas where you have the train functioning.

Lagos - Ibadan railway

Abuja - Kaduna railway

Itakpe - Warri railway

Port Harcourt - Aba (Portharcourt - Maiduguri still under renovation currently)
Abuja-Kaduna was done by Jonathan
Itakpe-Warri was existing before. It was simply rehabilitated
Only Lagos-Ibadan was done by Buhari
You apc guys can lie for Africa
That's how one clown was claiming that pdp did not do any infrastructure only apc did.

Even as it's a new route. Check the map. There's no way it can be 500km. It's common sense you can see with your two eyes

All the routes are over 700km. How will a new route( which I doubt) be 500km?

Lagos Calabar route is still unknown till now. The route being bandied all over the Internet is an existing route

If Tinubu can achieve dis, Lagos -Calabar fixed, Sokoto to Badagry done...chaiii

Exactly my thought on this. If he achieves this, then trade between states will be eased and this will reduce unnecessary waste of time and money.

So, AEC Geofucus lied it is 500km, abi? Where you there when the feasibility study was done? Inside of you to admit your misunderstanding, you are still trying to prove unnecessary point.

This is a new proposed route, mr man.

Well, they lied if they claimed Lagos to Abuja is 500km

Even your map is starting from Ilorin and the shortest I'm seeing there is 288miles which is over 460km.

Itakpe-Warri was abandoned because it's meant to be a service route for Ajaokuta steel and Itakpe ore. It's not supposed to be a transit route. It was a complete route. A lot of you are ignorant. It was abandoned because the steel mill was not working.
Buhari simply rehabilitated it for passenger use and what has the utilisation been like since then?
Port Harcourt- Aba on the narrow gauge has been functioning since the time of Jonathan.

Why didn't the previous administration lack the innovation to convert ir to a passenger train service?

Is it not because they lack the foresight and initiative?

Who told you it was rehabilitated and not constructed from where it stopped?

Are you saying, the railway stations, train wagons etc were just rehabilitated and not built or bought newly?

Go to that corridor and see how farmers are using it to transport their goods.

It's the safest and cheapest way to Abuja from SS. You can keep deceiving yourself.

Lol. What is the utilisation?
Just in December the route was suspended and it is not yet back.
The tracks were fully constructed already Mr Man
It was the stations, coaches that were brought in with the tracks rehabilitated.

Do you mean Itakpe- Warri railway is not under utilisation?

Stop diverting.

Since the stations, coaches etc were done by Buhari, EOD.

It is not in existence for 30 years but one person brought the initiative and developed the train system.

It is presently not working.

There's no initiative. It is just white elephant. Trains are supposed to connect major cities. Have you ever heard of Itakpe before the train was brought up? What is the traffic like between Warri and Itakpe before now?

Due to minor maintenance. Point still remains it was built to function by Buhari administration. EOD.

Go and tell Warri boys it is a white elephants project.

That is the safest and cheapest route to Abuja.

Do you Mean, Warri is not a major city?

I have used that train before to Warri and to Yenagoa due to fear of being kidnapped along the road.

That train is the best thing to happen in that area.

Besides, it will be extended to Abuja.

Oga, there's no way Lagos to Abuja can be 500km. This is common sense.

There's something called as bird flies in secondary school geography which means a straight line. A straight line from Abuja to Lagos is more than 500km.

Are you now claiming now that the new route will start from Lagos separately and be a straight line to Abuja? grin grin

How's that possible?

Even that won't give you 500km and that's the shortest possible route. Basic geographical concept grin grin

Note that in all these, we're leaving out the claim that the road will pass through Niger and Kogi states which is not possible via a straight line
