What manner of Journalism is this?!

Most journalists in Nigeria of today are graduates who could not get any job anywhere else, likewise teachers. So don't expect anything good from them.

But seriously, pay 2000 naira to Abeokuta from Lagos is crazy.
I will rather join God is Good and pay him 2000 to take me to Abeokuta

seunmsg:
We have a huge loan to pay back and you want salaries of railway workers to be increased. Yet, you’re complaining about the fares. So, where do you want FG to get the money from?

Aren't Nigeria senators still the highest paid in the world? Or that one no affect?

You earn steady N50k from government you're complaining; what happens to millions of us that don't get a dime? Your eye go soon clear if you lose that N50k and experience what it takes to be a 'grinder'

dejt4u:
So how do you want them to repay the Chinese loan??

Don’t mind the dolt. Besides train is not the cheapest manner of transportation in the world.

They want them to charge 50 kobo so the loan is not repayable and the project becomes a failure then they get to nut over the matter.

If they can’t afford N2,500 then they can go and take sole.

LegalWolf:


No it’s not actually. The thing is our people want free things and don’t want to pay. A lot of us have absolutely no idea how things work in the other world. Train fares are also on the high side in UK, at least I know that. Without chnaging this mentality, we can’t go anywhere

Please tell them o! Youths be displaying their ignorance on the net!. Cheapest indeed. People wey never escort person reach airport dey comment say na cheapest form of transport!

Nigeria is a backward nation,
Everything done here will always be in sharp contrast with the rest of the world

will You shut up? The man said the truth but daft people like you, full of venom always go against the truth.

Na the venom go kill you

fuckingAyaya:
When them dey borrow borrow money to finance the project why won't it be expensive? Train is supposed to be the cheapest means of transportation but here is different. Nigeria is the opposite of the world

Train ride has never been cheaper anywhere in the world.
Always speak from position of knowledge not ignorance

On the contrary - he raised critical issues that shoukd be addressed like paying a guy that drives a 500m locomotive 40k and domiciling rail under transport ministry

Very poor reporting. I was expecting to see the figures for the fare. I was even more shocked that the inconclusive report was published by The Punch.

Even here in Dubai train is as cheap as 3 dirhams which is very cheap and affordable for people to enter. U will see people working very far place and they use train to go to work cus is very cheaper, affordable than bus. I wonder who we offend in this country. Wicked leaders we have.

muller101:
will you get away from here!

What do you mean? Do you know how many readers were expecting to see price? We don't know the cost from Lagos to Abeokuta and to Ibadan.

The government should exit the sector as an investor and only regulate it. This habit of developing infrastructure with public funds only to concession it to individuals while splitting profits is madness and unsustainable.

michlins:
Government should be handled as business. Let private investors come in and charge what they feel is right. If you fancy the accident prone Nigeria roads, take it.


This project is being financed with loans which will be paid off from the business. It's not business as usual

the government has no business in running financial venture. They can regulate and ensure that the interest of the masses is protected.

The financial sector will enploy masses and pay taxes while making returns to the government.

The inefficiency of Nigeria airways and nnpc is still fresh

If Buhari has to borrow money for every project, where exactly is our oil money going?

Foolish jounalist.
Where's the fare in the news?
Everyone is blaming Buhari but nobody is doing anything right.

Just imagine, the masses are not complaining of prices, it's the union that will request for salary increments and better welfare.

Luckydubby7:
Everything about Nigeria is to suffer the poor.
Imagine rail transport that supposed to be cheapest among other means of transportation.

No mind them. Small time, e go be like say Buhari don do something, something wey ordinary Nigerians at the lowest level cants benefit from.

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.

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.

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?
