Even the 1900s never had Americans spending couple of days on the Rail. It's 2023 Imagine what's a scourge in Nigeria.

As long as you're in Nigeria never envisage optimal, excellent, exceptional and world class services. Because the system is rigged to fold up and fail. Even when they shockingly give or deliver marvelous performances/services always create time to research why on earth you received such good services in Nigeria.
Americans are Europeans in diaspora.
They will make things work.
If you can create a country for Nigerians in diaspora, those ones will make everything work because their eyes are now clear of all the tribal bigotry that is killing us here back home. They might also carry guns like Americans to blowup anybody's head that tries to bully them or be the leader without proper democratic election.

Ah shocked
Ppl actually travel on trains in this pH?
Na WA o grin

these Igbos sef
With ESN, UGM and IPOB on rampage, why risk your own life to travel by train when you like to make everyone believe that everyone from your region is a billionaire undecided

Left to me if I was President, I'd get all social media operating in Nigeria to require all accounts registered to Nigeria to re-register with their NIN and their phone number. And of course across the entire platform, a NIN and number can be associated to only 1 account. For corporates, their TIN would be required, while for Govt agencies, those could exist as is.

This way fake news can be better managed. If you were talking to your office colleagues, you wouldn't just talk senselessly. So why do people do that online? Just because its a faceless and nameless place. Well having those details would enable fake news to be easily traced to the first sender.

If you want to say anything online, one should be able to say it with their full chest and accept the consequences!!

Very fake post though cos it stopped over 2 yrs plus now and the rail line has been excavated and being replaced.I always used it to travel but the problems no be here.

I used it until it stopped.from pH,It starts at Mile 1.From Aba it starts at Railway at Eziukwu close to Bata junction along Aba owerri road

Sometimes people sleep in the bushes for 2,3 days while traveling by train from port Harcourt going to Aba. Many of our women, children, have been kidnapped in several occasions on their way as a result of train damage.

Where is Amaechi who wanted to please Buhari by constructing rail line to Niger Republic while he failed to maintain the one in his home state.
That's exactly the same thing GEJ did. He focused on the North to buy their heart for his second term bid while ignoring his people in the South South. At last, God punished him and he failed.

Nowhere.
Shey you watch YouTube.
Once you register your weapon, and have a license, you just be claiming "self defense".
Black people in US who have guns typically don't register their guns and don't have license to use it either, that's why they keep
getting in trouble frequently.

Anyway, it is an idea. If there was a separate country for Nigerians in diaspora, everything will work fine in that country.
I only mentioned the "gun" usage as necessary because of Igbo tribe. They always try to dominate other tribes when you put them with other Nigerians. And they will certainly try that nonsense if there was Nigeria 2.0 somewhere else.

May God bless you for this clarification.

Some of this our bad belle people are happy seeing any bad news about Nigeria.

Writing that people sleep in the bush for 2-3 days is a huge lie to even think of.

Thanks

Which moderator hurriedly brought this to the front page just because he or she saw pictures of Train and people standing seeming frustrated.

Please for clearity sake, Portharcourt to Aba via Train is not active for a long time now, about few years ago when it was actually working, it saved many traders who came from Aba to Portharcourt on Wednesdays which is "Oil Mill" Market day.

Many of these men and women were using Train then, as it was cheaper and better to convene them and their goods. The Train then use to stop at Elelenwo where these people then will hire "Keke" on a special drop to get them to the market; "Oilmill".

The Railway line that runs from Portharcourt down to Aba and beyond has been excavated as they promised revatalization of the Rail line.

So, for now no Train runs Portharcourt to Aba let alone passengers being stranded and sleeping on the roads for days.

Please, this is a FAKE news!!!

What your point... I live in Aba. Although I don't know of the train route but I travel to pH twice every month if u know of any pls telle I will go check and give u update.
No nwa. Depends on the route you are coming from. If you're coming from park and you get to the rail line along Factory road, follow the track to your right. A few minutes walk from the road.
Sadly,trains don't ply there again for now. Government removed the rail tracks and are yet to fix them!
Bitter truth is Aba rail line has been abandoned by the government. Seems the South East is being treated as not being part of this country.
Sad indeed.

If as president you set out to do that, it is the same people that are posting rubbish that will use propaganda to bury that government. Even a simple regulation, the way people will cry and wail, the whole country including illiterates that are not even on social media will think that you have decided to bring down satan to be your vice president.

Long and short, social media is.a menace to the Nigerian society.
