Hmmm, I think our railway system should only be designed with only goods in mind, it's cheaper to convey goods while more expensive for human transportation, except it's going to be subsidized which is not a nice idea.
Transporting a truck load of beans from kebbi to Lagos or Imo might cost about 700000 or more, using train for such is cheaper.

While so many Nigerians are hungry, unemployed and children are out of school. How can any sane person support this. 🤦🏻‍♂️


Oga, it's not all about APC rather a rotten system.
An organisation of criminals disguising as politicians (all the parties). Although, Bubu was wost of them all. Hmm, even the present Gov. are not different either

I remember when Apc guys were hyping Buhari. I was one of them but seeing and experiencing Buhari i can say it that he was Nigeria's worst president ever.


Nigerians need to stop electing illiterates into power. Buhari is a disgrace and a disappointment. Building a road isn't defined as good governance since China can do it for u.

What about other things like economy, inflation, currency, security, this failure failed in all.

His only hope is commissioning of projects

Jeezuzpick:
Who takes train to Abuja airport?

Why leave my house and take an Über to the train station, then take a train to the airport when I can take the Über straight to the airport?

Why will I arrive from Lagos or overseas and start boarding train to a station, only to start looking for another vehicle to take me to my destination, when I can take a car straight there?

These people in government don't know how to source for data to use in developing infrastructure.

To please the people, first find out what the people want.


I like the fact that your seeing this from the perspective of a data analyst. Are you one?

“Quite clearly there was no plan on how to run the operations before they built it.”

Just like how there's no plan to run a goverment properly after the presidency is brazenly stolen.

No need to waste imagination.

Na so dem dey do. After the click click of pictures, dem go all pack their load and abandoned project go remain.

Abandoned project or phantom project na their way, dem full many places for the country. Even to use the embezzled funds buy the project and manage am like your private company na lie (though that too is a crime). Their own is to put money for jet, fly am abroad with one of una yeyebrities as ambassador, then fall mugu for oyibo wey get sense and invest the pilfered funds outside the country to get more returns. Black man sense.

The same problem wrecking havoc all across Africa. Visionless lazy dumbasses in power...smh
