Nice one. Shows the Gov't is doing something, even if they're not yet bullet trains.

But they need to do something about cleaning up the track area, as some parts look like a dump site. Imagine if tourists want to take a scenic ride on one of our Trains to take in the sights? Is this what we want them to see?

When the world is busy advancing with modern trains, we still advertise and celebrate over rickety trains introduced to us.

Or is this part of the parliative to the fuel subsidy saga?

Those pictures gave me a feeling I've not had in a long time. If Nigeria was working and treating all equal under the law who would come here and advocate for its disintegration. I'm very happy for people of Ibadan and I wish the next time we talk about train in their state may it be a better, faster, and cleaner train. May this pic signal the beginning of a new day in the life of that state. Amen.

Really nice, but there's still a lot that needs to be done about cleanliness as many have pointed out.

Really? So the govt should clean up the track area mainly because of foreigners not because of Nigerians?

People complaining that this is not bullet trains and all that should please take a back seat, if these trains had been workin since the 80s wont we all be clamouring for a change would it not have been obvious that they need a change, a journey of a million miles even if u will be flying by a plane you must begin with a step outside your room, is it not obvious that the govt has not even publicised it that trains are working its just an average Nigerian who sees this and is impressed has put it online for us to atleast know that its not only Boko Haram that is working, the Minister of power has promised that additional 6000MW would definitely beadded before the year end, are u also aware that the naira has been firming to the dollar due to the investigation into the fuel subsidy payments and the cleaning up going on in the petroleum sector, are u aware that the PH airport is undergoing a rehabilitation, the PH refineries are already been repaired, for all critics you will continue complaining until everyone leaves u and say, Abegiiiii if to say Obasanjo do all this one since na here we for still dey, I would like to see a serious opposition in 2015 to unseat the PDP and Jonathan but it should not be because Jonathan failed in delivery but because we can deliver something better, #20millionyouth42015

@Okija juju

you be bush-man,


those rusty roofs are a classic worthy of celeberating, it is only in Nigeria we do not appreciate the old, go to rome, athens, jerusalam, and Cairo and see how the old and new juxtapose in a seamless beautiful sequence.
