PoliticsRe: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by GAR3TH(m): 1:51pm On Aug 12, 2010
I dislike gay people and i don't like there ways. . .but who im i to judge. . .Even though they are gay i still support gay marriages. . .why because they are human and we are all equal. You shouldn’t let your ideology decide peoples faiths . . .the world does not revolve around you. I hate it when people bring religion into topics like this. To me religion is starting to become one big joke.

Nairaland GeneralDo You Want Nairaland To Upgrade? by GAR3TH(op): 5:11pm On Aug 10, 2010
Hi there, if you guys didn't know nairaland currently runs on SMF 1.0.12. Which is pretty old and out dated. I was wondering if seun could possibly update the forum to a modern social programs such as SMF 2.0 or even the hot and popular VBulletin 4.0. I know its possibly for a website to upgrade or change forums. but my question is do Nairalanders want nairaland to upgrade from this old system to a modern one? smiley
PoliticsRe: Three New Urban Roads Underway In Calabar by GAR3TH(m): 4:58pm On Aug 10, 2010

in my opinion, we should get ride of the national poice force. and allow only local and state police. that way you will have locals incharge of police operations, instead of someone 1000km away.

Kobojunkie:
Do a search on the keywords 'GE C25 Locomotive'  in google . . . wonder why most every reference is to Nigeria?  huh Can you please explain that too?
Thats becuase the GE C25 was custom made just for nigeria.

The Model C25 six-axle locomotives were built by GE Transportation South America, GE Transportation’s affiliate facility located in Brazil. The locomotives feature GE’s 7FDL 12-cylinder, 2,500 horsepower engine, which was supplied by GE Transportation’s diesel engine manufacturing plant in Grove City, Pa. The locomotives were designed specifically to accommodate Nigeria’s weight per axle and clearance characteristics.

Lorenzo Simonelli, president and CEO of GE Transportation, said, “We are excited today with the arrival of the first locomotives as this represents an important step in GE Transportation’s entry into the Nigerian market place. GE experts performed an extensive analysis on Nigeria’s narrow-gauge railway network, haulage requirements and traffic patterns to determine the best-fit locomotive. We are honored to support the country’s rail infrastructure growth and are looking forward to working with our Nigerian partners.”

Nigerian Railway Takes Delivery of First GE Locomotives[/color]
the Nigerian Ministry of Transport and GE Transportation announced that the Nigerian Railway Corporation had taken delivery of five C25 diesel locomotives. Another 20 locomotives will be delivered in the second half of 2010.

The Model C25 six-axle locomotives were built by GE Transportation South America, GE Transportation’s affiliate facility located in Brazil. The locomotives feature GE’s 7FDL 12-cylinder, 2,500 horsepower engine, which was supplied by GE Transportation’s diesel engine manufacturing plant in Grove City, Pa.

[color=#770077]and we are way off topic considering that the thread is about the new coaches not the new locomotives.

Like I said before. the train is meant for cargo but like the GE Brazil said it can also be used for passengers.

America's Amtrack rail networks runs on locomotive. . . and yes they are passenger trains.

Anyway. . .like i said before, these 20 locomotives that were order are MENT FOR CARGO. I think only 1 or 2 will be used for transport. Once Again CARGO. Fed gov are not supposed to build local metros. thats why Lagos is building a light rail system. You guys don't appreciate anything.

Lagos states Budget is $1.5 billion a year, so where are they gonna get $3 billion to do this projecthuh not to mention cost over-runs and unforseen contigencies!!! lol u people need to wake up and think for a change
Its Called PPP (Public private partnership) when the price tag is shared by the state and other private investors.

The main idea to to transport the Gas. . . . .so they went for the Railway project,
On a light rail? dude you must be confusing this project with something else. A light rail is way different from a standard gauge rail. This is a state project so how on earth would it be associated in interenational affairs? I think you have this project confused with something else. . .probably confused it with NRC.
