How much are they selling train wagons that Nigeria can't afford.. it is wickedness and lack of accountability that is affecting our leaders. The nations that are buying new train wagons aren't richer than us in true sense. Our problem is mismanagement and greed.

---History of Okupe, DG Presidential Campaign Council of LP---

He is 70yrs. Former Natl Pub Sec of NRC during the June12, 1993 election.
He was vehemently opposed to MKO Abiola & supported the annulment of Abiola's victory, although he is acclaimed to be an indigene of Ogun State too
Well, he was also a member of the NPN and he opposed Chief Awolowo absolutely too.
He later became a chronic member of the PDP.
He was SA to OBJ but was fired due to a rumor with Stella.
He was also SA to Jonathan. During his 'SA-ship' to GEJ, he once said "it is impossible to build modern rail system in Nigeria.
He later dumped PDP for Accord Party. He dumped Accord back to PDP.
He has again dumped PDP for LP.
A brand new politician to OBIDENTS, a good customer to EFCC, and now the DG of ENDSARS saviour and Ip.ob*'s hope.

---COPIED---
There's a reason he can't support Awolowo. His father's bank, Agbomagbe bank now known as WEMA bank, was established with the help of Awolowo but was also collected back from his father by Awolowo because his father didn't borrow Awolowo's party money even after he borrowed opposition party funds.

If you had to borrow before you can buy something it simply means you couldn't afford it. Okupe is 100% correct. The trains are now running at a loss
Bless you. I was going through to see if anyone will be sensible enough to look at it in this angle. We simply could not afford it. This administration borrowed to afford it. Simple as that

The railway system being built in Nigeria today is okay, so far as it is maintained and secured. This thread is pure sensationalism.....she needs to define what she meant by 'modern' first.

Now Is 100% certain that obituary and his 5% voters regional party are clueless! #noisemakers #emptybarrels

Next year they will start crying marginalization after election.
They never learn from past mistakes.

(Awon Omo Ale Yoruba kan nah ti wa brainwashed).
Obituary are shouting no to tribalism but when we checked 99% of Biafra are supporting there Biafra dead on arrival corrupt candidate. I wish other tribes candidates have half % of thesame supporters other tribes gives there Biafra candidate.

Which is now being proven to be lie
In the real sense it has not been proven to be a lie

In the first instance they were purchased with borrowed funds and not from our revenue

Secondly, it is because they bought brand new trains that the cost of tickets are so high and that is the reason there is low patronage of the train services

Using brand new trains now that the Naira is fast loosing value means that the overhead costs will be high as as a result the prices will also be high.

To give you an analogy consider the Uber space...no Uber driver or investor in Nigeria will ever dare buy a brand new Toyota Corolla for Uber cos he/she will never be able to recover the money!

He is a typical Nigerian politician that jumps from one ship to another, is lowered than a prostitute and will dance for food. Please don't equate him to Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa interest, he is in politics for his own self interest.
