Those coward terrorist must be pissing their pants now.. The General is in town.

End consumption subsidies now!!!!!

Fragility6:
Lmao...no be only 50k. u for call 1m.

The bullet train in Japan goes from Kyoto to Tokyo (which is a 4 hours ride) for 13,320 japanese yen (which is approxiamtely N50k.

They will mock and ridicule us and in the end Nigeria will be great.

GMBuhari:
These idiots will say anything

But for sure Buhari has thought us lots of lesson

Since the official retirement age worldwide is 65, Tinubu should retire, any elderly person shouldn't govern this country anymore

They literally can't offer nothing

How old was Joe Biden when he contested and won the 2020 presidential election in the US? I'm asking for a friend.

Perfectbeing:
Its so funny and contradictory that the NUR said the fare was too much for Nigerians and in the same breath say their pay should be increased. In other words, the government should reduce the fare to N1000 and increase their pay to N100,000.

And Nigerians that look for every opportunity to complain and ridicule the country actually agree that the rail service should be handed off to private individuals, forgetting that a private individual would operate the train for maximum profit and the N2,500 they say is too much for them would be increased to at least N5,000 in order for the private company to maintain, fuel and pay their staffs salaries..

I think the best thing any government can do to shut people up is the appoint the most vocal critics to head so of this commission. Let's see how they can manage the commission and at the same time make profit.

omohayek:
You have it exactly right. Unfortunately your points will be lost on people whose time is of no value, which is why they are complaining bitterly about prices that probably don't even cover half the cost of operating the service.

This bizarre complaint by the NUR about prices which are already far too low to service the loans taken to build the service, along with contradictory calls by the same NUR to hike the pay of the train-operators of said unprofitable service, are illustrative of why it is such a terrible idea to have the Nigerian government run anything that could be operated commercially. If the trains were sold off to private operators, they would take on all the risks involved in juggling ticket costs, maintenance, employee compensation, etc., and the need to earn a profit would steel them against the usual Nigerian diseases of incompetent, dishonest managers overstaffing with surly, lazy, thieving employees while packing trains so full they quickly fall to pieces. Instead, we currently have the worst of possible worlds, with the FG liable for billions of USD to China, all for the sake of a service whose heavily subsidized cost is completely lost on a public which expects Japanese Shinkansen level trains for the price of "molue" tickets.

Iyasaburi:
1st class N6000
Business class N5000
Economic class N3500

Economy class is 2500 not 3500

mamaafrik:
I imagine taking Lagos to ibadan for #2,500 when actually the bus fare is less than#2,000.
Many of these leaders ehnnn,it's like they are doing semovita in their heads.

If you consider the speed, comfort, the fact you won't be in one spot due to gridlock, then that 2500 is actually cheaper than the 2000.

How much do you want the fare to be before it will become cheap in your eyes? Is it N500...??

Fragility6:
Countries were its expensive abeg tell us d type of train dat makes thiers expensive. Nigeria neva get those types dem don dey hike prices. Una conscience no dey wori una knowin u dey support evil. Human being sha

It is because weren't not using the kind of trains those countries use that's why we are not paying 50k.

Sheggy13:
So this article of roughly 10 paragraphs is what's difficult for you to skim through and see where fare was talked about. If the quoted below isn't about fare, please tell me what else it's about.

He said, “Railway, all over the world, is a social service renderer. The railway is never taken as a profit-making outfit. It serves as the infrastructural mainstay and epicentre of any countries transport economy.

“And it must always be running a tariff regime that is very affordable. So, the idea of fixing a humongous tariff is like indirectly making the train services more of service exclusively for the high-net-worth people. This is number one.

You ended up doing the same thing he complained of.. Oya now we know the fare is on the high side.. How much is it? Was the price stated in the whole write up?

santakris:
Thank you.

During our primary school days. We were taught that rail transportation is the cheapest means of transportation.

So because rail transportation is the cheapest it should become cheaper then Keke abi?

Compare the price of Nigeria rail transport with any other country of your choice. You mustn't complain over every single thing.

Some days back, some good Nigerians were mocking the trains, saying it was refurbished and old.. that saner climes have upgraded to bullet trains.. The patriotic Nigerians didn't know that a bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto in Japan which is a 4 hours ride costs about 13,320 Japanese yen which is about N49,960. This same patriots would insult Nigeria if a bullet train was provided. They'd say, why would the government provide a train of 50k for poor and suffering Nigerians.

nairalandankrah:
Shekau dead or Alive doesn't matter.!
Buhari is already a certified failure..Nigerians are just waiting for the expiration of his tenure.

Ok

izombie:
When will you people wake up? No yoruba man can win an election in Nigeria against a northerners without winning the SE and SS. Again, no northerner will vote tinubu or osinbajo when there is another northerner on the ballot. Wake up guys. Na wao.

Buhari lost to a SS man even when he won the Northern votes.

nairalandankrah:
I learnt shekau is injured and not dead! Government of lies.. Truth will come out soon and they'll be more deadlier than before.

You recruited foreign terrorists(Isis) with oil money from the south, to wipe out indigenous terrorists that you created, you better brace up for the worst..

So you'd rather believe Shekau isn't dead.. You want him to recuperate from his injuries and starting causing havoc in Nigeria so you can laugh and say Buhari failed? Are you even a human? You want Shekau alive so you can score some points? Christ in heaven!!!!

fergie0o1:
A businessman, Muazu Bawa who was kidnapped alongside Alooma on Jan 2, 2021 is amongst the released.

Thank God for him. But why are both airbags out. The car doesn't look like it was involved in an accident.

Jhayphil:
Comprehension is a problem now. He said, "Lagos is a microcosm of Nigeria. Everybody is here. If things work out well here, things will be okay in the country". What's so hard to understand? Lagos is a microcosm? Lovely speech Sir.

In other words lagos is a small version of Nigeria since it is the state that houses a large number of all ethnic groups.
If things works out in Lagos, things will work out everywhere else.

The sad truth is that Nigeria won't disintegrate. As pain as it sounds that is the truth.

A state that have Tinubu sitting on it's neck is developing like this while states that no one is hindering them is nothing to write home about. It seems Tinubu should come and sit on Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta state so that they will develop..

Even after explaining what every single debt was used for, some people still decided to be clever by half

So you mean Nigeria has lost over N14 billion in the past week?

PrinceofHCI:
In any rumour, there's always an atom of truth........
Not to worry, time will tell!

So was there an atom of truth in the rumor that Nnamdi Kanu is dead?

wman:
See this bloody APC fan. It's a very simple question. Answer it. You are intelligent.

What problem does it solve?

Let me give you the answer you would love to hear. It would solve nothing. Bye

wman:
Lmao. This guy still believes in the fantasy that those trains with their time of travel and their transport cost will solve the problem of working in Lagos and living in Ibadan.

You guys are devoid of critical thinking. Pray and fast for yourself and your offsprings so you will all have sense.

K

If only I can get someone to invest in this mind blowing app I want to undergo ehn. I would be a millionaire before I graduate, and the person(s) would get his ROI times 4.

I hope in their last moment they were able to repent. Las las, you'd be more surprised of the kind of people you'll see in heaven than those you'll see in hell.

But these people would be part of the people that would blame the government for everything yet they're kidnappers..

PrinceofHCI:
Google buhari burial.....

Lol. You're still among those people that swallow every new he sees on the Internet? That's very sad.
Check any the news outlet the spewed that fake news. Is any of them reliable?

gowonmaharajah:
you think Buhari is dead?

Anybody that still think Buhari is dead after watching his Arise and NTA interview isn't normal. Any conspiracy theory after then is utter stupidity..

tempusfugit:
Remuove Niger delta from your list just your south east, there a functional railway from warri to Abuja, I used it last week and it was awesome

I thought it's from Warri to Itakpe (in Kogi). Have they extended it to Abuja? It would be nice if they have.

wman:
Lmao.

So what problem was solved with these trains?

would you prefer if it wasn't done? It's people like you that would ridicule Nigeria for not having trains in the 21st century and now that there's train and you're asking what problem would it solve.. Honestly you have fast and pray your offsprings doesn't become like you..

Commendable.

But 8 am is too late. There should be a 5 am (depending on how many hours the journey is) so people can actually be living in Lagos and working in Ibadan or living in Ibadan and working in Lagos. This will help in discongesting lagos as you wouldn't need to actually reside in Lagos even though you work there.
