Shoow!! so Sambo built a similar railways system and COLLAPSED AFTER 8 MONTHS. tell me something my brother, show us some pic so that we can put saTANist to shame

Kagarko:
Pls i expected people to have gone to the train station and see the ttypes of train in use and the amount of money they spent before commenting.

All they do is to repaint those 1965 trains and put them back on track.

Iam assuring you that those trains will not last more than 6 months.

When sambo was kaduna state gov he did some thing like this and after 6 months they all collapsed.

OP why are u lying ...... the picture, was not taken Cameroun or Nigeria...the pic was taken in Chad after fleeing fighting in Ndjamena, pls checkout the link below

the miracle of daura!

ok.. didnt read the other post

LRNZH:
Read this.

Gov't has failed nigerians woefully too many times it makes promises. So Nigerians dont trust Gov't.

Ok look, after the January, 2012 subsidy riots, GEJ promised that two refineries will be functional with the partial subsidy removal money.
Where are the functional refineries? Nowhere to be found. You now expect Nigerians to agree to total subsidy removal aka deregulation meanwhile they're yet to see the promise from the last time.

It is give and take. If the Gov't can get say two refineries working as promised then it is easier to preach total deregulation.

No body trusts the kleptomaniac Gov't.

Naa ony Bungee jumping on top of fence dey fit do...

Feraz:
Oh... You can imagine. There's been something like this since when again? 2004... Yet, they haven't done anything. And from what I can read there, it also said any other body apart from the Nigerian railway cooperation. Sitting on a law that will change something positively and usher in private investors for ten years. That shows the kinda leaders we have. Yet, Nigerians never bothered checking. They blame the president for everything including the ones that is supposed to be handled by the state and local governments. Let us not even go into the PIB which I heard is still pending in the NASS.

Where's anonimi? Can you throw more light on the above act?

nope....the only way is deregulation or selling it let the gov keep some shares......Let demand and supply determine the price, that is the only way u can have accountability. But everybody protested against it

LRNZH:
If GEJ had taken a concrete action on the refineries, he would have dismantled the cabal without a single committee, lawsuit or tribunal.

It is a missed opportunity.

and guess who sitting on "New railway act " that is suppose reform the Railway in Nigeria ....The Legislators........... u can have 100 Buharis as manager of the railway if we still have the archaic laws the result will not be better than now .......

Rawani:
Here are some of General Buhari's numerous achievements while in office; for FREE

1[s]. The wrestling of a major concession from OPEC in 1984 to increase Nigeria's oil production quota from 1.3 million barrels to 1.45 million barrels per day.
[/s]
2. The initiation of a public campaign against indiscipline known as "War Against Indiscipline" (WAI). This policy won him national and universal applause, as a result of its effectiveness.

3. [s]In order to reform the economy, as Head of State, Buhari started to rebuild the nation's social-political and economic systems, along the realities of Nigeria's austere economic conditions. The rebuilding included removing or cutting back the excesses in national expenditure, obliterate or remove completely corruption from the nation's social ethics, shifting from mainly public sector employment to self employment. Buhari also encouraged import substitution industrialisation based to a great extent on the use of local materials and he tightened importati[/s]on. Many companies folded up under Buhari

4. General Buhari in 1984, was able to achieve 15 percent cut from Shagari's 1983 Budget.

5. The victory of Nigeria's Under-17 Team (the Golden Eagles) at the Kodak World Cup Soccer Competition in China in August, 1985.

6. Even as a Military Head of State, Buhari maintained and enhanced diplomatic relations with all countries and international organisations such as the OAU, UN, OPEC, ECOWAS and the Commonwealth of Nations. He also honoured all treaty obligations entered into by previous governments.

7. The freezing of accounts of political parties and corrupt ex-political office holders in the Second Republic in 1984.

8.[s] The change of colour of the nation's currency notes (except the fifty kobo note) in April 1984 to stop currency trafficking. The exercise rendered almost half of the estimated N6 billion in circulation worthless at the expiration of the change.[/s]

9. The launching of the Expanded Immunization Programme (EPI) in May, 1984.

10.[s] The wrestling of a major concession from OPEC in 1984 to increase Nigeria's oil production quota from 1.3 million barrels to 1.45 million barrels per day[/s]. [font=Lucida Sans Unicode]na repetition of nr 1

BONUS:

11. The introduction of a new Customs Tariff, which reduced the range of import duties from between zero and 500 per cent to between 5 per cent and 200 per cent.

12. The granting of import duty exemption to only twenty items including agricultural implements, air craft, fuels, lubricants, educational films, technical assistance materials etc.

13.[s] The imposition of a levy on dormant companies[/s]

14.The rescheduling of the nation's short term trade debts valued at over =N=5 billion and the subsequent issuance of promissory notes to the uninsured creditors.

15. The procurement of new Air Buses by Nigeria Airways in 1985 to boost air transportation.

Note that all these were achieved in less than 3 years, and his outstanding achievements as PTF chairman have not been mentioned.

Hmnn Apc........Sept salary why didnt Fayemi pay the poor workers before he left abi na bomb

A statement by the APC Publicity Secretary in Ekiti State, Taiwo Olatubosun, said it is ungodly for a leader to enjoy all the bliss that goes with Christmas while denying the people he leads their entitlements at the time members of their families look up to them for the yearly pleasure of Christmas

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has slammed Governor Ayodele Fayose for refusal to pay workers their September and December salaries, saying such is a deliberate insensitivity to the yearnings of workers ‎to enjoy the end-of-year festivities with their families.

A statement by the APC Publicity Secretary in Ekiti State, Taiwo Olatubosun, said it is ungodly for a leader to enjoy all the bliss that goes with Christmas while denying the people he leads their entitlements at the time members of their families look up to them for the yearly pleasure of Christmas.

Olatubosun said that by December 18 last year, all workers had received their salaries and Christmas bonus in addition to ‎their leave bonus, while pensioners were also paid.

He said Fayose grudgingly asked the banks to pay workers half of their salary in the night of December 24 after bitter complaints from workers.

He said: “It is evil for a leader to deduct N2,000 from the salary of each worker for the purpose of buying them Christmas gifts only to give not up to half of the workers ‎a chicken smaller than a pigeon worth less than N800.

“It is callous to take convention funds for the delegates of your party members on the guise that you are spending it for Christmas gift only for you to keep more than half of that money in your private pocket while your party members go hungry during this festive period.”

Olatunbosun added that Fayose had made avoidable suffering part of his policy to make life unbearable for Ekiti State people, citing shutting down the state capital every night by cutting off streetlights at nights with its attendant insecurity of life and property.

He added: “On Christmas eve when our people were supposed to be in celebration mood, Ekiti frustrated workers were on queues at ATM points waiting for the salary alerts.‎

“Today, night life is gone in the state capital because there is no streetlights again.

“Armed robbers and pick-pockets are back in the state capital terrorising residents at nights.
“The governor promised Ekiti people rice and chickens for Christmas but only gave one and half “congos” of rice and one “oromodiye” (chicken) that costs less than N600 and not fit for consumption.”

Olatubosun urged NAFDAC to conduct investigation into the suitability of the chickens the governor gave out to workers for consumption, noting that rearing seven-month-old chickens for consumption is cruelty against animals.

The APC spokesman said instead of giving Ekiti State youths promising future, Fayose had turned them to an army of beggars and hangers-on.

He added that while the governor did not have any youth empowerment scheme to create jobs for Ekiti State youths, he had been using his personal mechanics from his Ibadan. Oyo State base to work on government serviceable vehicles in the Government House vehicles pool.

Thanks my brother ..i am sure i live in....... If u agree with that old train still play an important part in mass transportation Germany.Then there is no need to argue. Pulling down the lever to open a train door require some effort...i have friends here too and they know that those train have old seats and u cant even charge ur phone in them.and they are "pendler" if u know what that word means..I know u live germany where the trains are different from the one in Naija, but take time and visit other part of the country, it might help. If am in München why not.....

Junipero:
"Thank that is an interregional train in Germany.....compare with naija train what is the difference....to open the doors u must have big muscles... grin "
"but Old intertrain if u are unlucky to board one, the doors dont open automatically , only the hydraulic shutting mechanism are released u still need to open the door with much effort"

"like in my earlier post the chance that u take ride in one is 70%...... i know the terrain like the back of my hand"

To the best of my knowledge and those of my friends who grew up here, there are no trains that require you to open the doors with muscle ... I'm not arguing with you, rather setting facts right....




LOL bros mi why are you running around in vicious circles like this nau You sure sey you even live in........ Ok oh. Case Closed ...


I'm inviting you to Muenchen though, there's a Nigerian Buffet/Xmas Party going down on the 27th.

Last xmas before the next in Asorock....

Daura or Otuoke nice xchange

LRNZH:
Well put. Na our no 1 President: patience- PEJ and no 5 President: continuity- Jesus Christ of Otueke we need.

but did u read my earlier post...i said unless u are ready to pay more the trains shown in the pic are mostly the normal interregional train...ICE need 1 hr from NBG to MUC but cost 3x more...to open an ICE train u need ony press the button , but Old intertrain if u are unlucky to board one, the doors dont open automatically , only the hydraulic shutting mechanism are released u still need to open the door with much effort...I know there a lot of option but saying train like that dont exist in developed countries is painting a wrong pic..........So if Country like Germany are using these kind of train, why cant Nigeria use them to start with.....

Junipero:
Yes they exist but you are saying it like they're the most used trains here....Dem force you enter that one? Why not use the ICE Trains? IC and IRE trains nko ? These trains ply so many routes almost on a 45-minute time interval basis. So you have a variety of options to choose from.

The less you're willing to pay, the slower the train you can afford.

As for the 'opening the door with muscle' part...guy I dey suspect you oooo .. Which door again? The one that opens automatically when you press the button /pull a lever?

You sure sey?>>>> anyway....

LRNZH...i dont pay a kobo for SIM card now and i get better service because after reform things dont get better immediately ....but after sometimes the infrastructure get better and the sector grows....There are new employments going on right now because we need technicians and engneers to power the reform, my brother na patience we need and continuity

LRNZH:
You bought sim card for 14k but you got the service you paid for immediately. People were already getting employed by these telecoms coys and banks at that time. That's the impact right there.

Compare with GEJs paying higher tariff but worsening electricity supply, removing part of fuel subsidy but not a single refinery turn around to show for it. No new employment in the power sector, no improved service or living conditions. Power workers are threatening strike while oil workers just finished their own strike.

The difference is 7up. Deji stop defending non-performance.

Speedily getting out of extinction mean they exist, abi....like in my earlier post the chance that u take ride in one is 70%...... i know the terrain like the back of my hand. so doing Nürnberg -münchen a distance of 180 km in 3hr is very fast abi??

Junipero:
The one u posted is speedily getting out of circulation (unless you're staying in one of those one-kain Eastern Germany villages).. And It's way way faster than the so-called Enugu-PH Train..


My guy wan start to dey compare our kwashiorkor Trains to German Machines..

Abeg wetin u know .....the chance that ride one of these trains when travelling within a region is 70 % there are some new ones but they are not many

Junipero:
Please stop posting without enough facts, eeezzz not good .... That is not an Inter-Regional Train in Germany as far as 2013 or 2014 is concerned.. Do your homework.

Thank that is an interregional train in Germany.....compare with naija train what is the difference....to open the doors u must have big muscles...

all4naija:
Is that train on the image from Nigeria? I like the surroundings. Where is that in Nigeria though?

Thank you.

Human memory is short...OBJ's banking and telecom reform didnt bring immediate result...i remember cost of the 1st sim card i bought (14K) and how much they cost now....using newspaper as source of corruption is outdated, the late Tai Solarin comes to my mind......about the donation maybe PDP as party is being too honest about the source of their fund, i wish APC can honest about the souurce of their donations

LRNZH:
OBJ's banking and Telecom reforms brought results immediately even before his second term in 2003.
My point is the power situation has even got worse after the claimed power reforms of GEJ.
Evidence for siphoned funds? They sacked Prof Birth Nnaji, NNPC could not account for $20Billion, now Jerry Gana (a career public servant and former Geography lecturer at ABU Zaria) and undisclosed 'friends' are donating N21Billion to GEJ for 2015 elections.
Abeg leave matter.
All these things can't be fabricated lies na... See below

Scary ....i think this is standard if u are not taking expensive special intercity train ...a normal intergional train look like this

all4naija:
No, I haven't! The inside looks scary though!
