You took your time to write this comment and its obviousyou didnt even read the writeup. What a shame.

Racoon:
Just proving themselves incompetent everywhere.Meaning the NRC cant manage its own train to provide adequate railway commuting for passengers.

Private airlines, jets, Sadly private ICUs are running inside FG teaching hospitals because the govt own have been killed by corruption. Tampolo is being given billion naira pipeline surveillance contracts while the Navy and maritine police are seating as lame ducks


This is how the NRC will be mismanage and private owners will come up to liquidate it. Perhaps the imbeciles running the agency have forgotten that railway is a FG regulated agency.

AMINDA:
They killed the operations of the train services deliberately so they can concession it to themselves and increase the fares. Kayode Opeifa and his garrulous Lagos boys were handed over a functional and efficient railway infrastructure by Rotimi Amaechi but have killed it in just under 3 years.

This is coming from an Atiku supporter whose kinsmen kidnapped and killed train travellers in Kaduna. Or, have you forgotten how your kinsmen deliberately blew up rail tracks and none of them was arrested?

Don't mind those obidients, they just criticise without reasoning.

Napata77:
What arrant nonsense you just typed.

This opening up of the railway network to private train operators happens in every single western country you worship, from UK to USA.

Heck, Heathrow Airport in London is owned by a private company.

British Airways is a private company.

You clearly lack exposure, Obidient.

This whole idea of expecting govt to efficiently run public services, is outdated globally.

The private sector is what's driving economies today.

AMINDA:
Of course it isn't. Tantita security is now guiding pipelines in trillions and donating vehicles to Tinubu's campaign while we have the Navy and Train Services will now be handed over to cronies while we have the NRC.

The same navy that was there and Nigeria was loosing billions of Naira, daily. Navy personnel were stealing and allowing pipeline vandals to steal also.

All navy postings to Niger-Delta com turn to lobby just because of what they were making there.
Since Tompolo dey guide am, production has increased. That where they make money that your governor is stealing.

Na your governor be your No.1 problem.

Kinsmen? Is that how Tinubu views the security situation in the country as the Commander-in-Chief? Why then did he come so hard against Jonathan, his fellow Southern brother? Why did Wole Soyinka and co protest against Jonathan at Ojota?

The typical "There is corruption in fuel subsidy so let's stop fuel subsidy" line. Now, Nigeria is not losing billions of naira daily. We are only losing trillions of naira yearly in pipeline security contracts. Everywhere is good as long as Tompolo continues to donate those campaign vehicles state-by-state.

No train gooes to the east. So e no concern me

This is the model I have been advocating for in the past.

Government has no business with running certain things

The government should construct rail tracks, Criss crossing the length and breadth of this country, including mono rail tracks for inter city movement and allow the private sector to get their own trains and run the full transportation business

There should be a central control room where all the rail tracks, scheduling and movements are done

The private operators would be paying access fees to the government, apart from their normal regular taxes

Same could be replicated with the telecom sector, where the government invest in the underground fiber cables and other high capital infrastructures, with access fees charged to the telecom operators, to access the optic fibers

There are whole lots of ways Government could make money without getting involved in the day-to-day running of certain civilian infrastructures.

Sheuns:
Why did the people vote APC in 2015 if they knew they would only continue in the footsteps of PDP and even worse.

They didn't know because APC didn't say

obojememe:
wetin this govt wan dey useful for abeg , train of al mode of transaportation , this is BS. no Airline , no fedral mass transit , no susidy on any anthing , your days are numbered

And they keep borrowing everyday.

AMINDA:

Oh! That's another perspective.

Your reasoning sometimes on this platform makes me wonder if your brain has the same cells with we other humans. Cos Omo I weep for you ooo.
No be everything be politics na. Chai

Na the vehicle donation dey pain you, abi? Deal with that. He will win the contract again.
What is being paid to Tompolo is a running cost to NIgeria. It is envisaged and it’s bringing more money to Nigeria from oil sales. You don’t know or see more than those running Nigeria.

Tompolo is not the only one spending the money. He shares it with all youth groups in Niger-Delta and their kings and chiefs.

Assuming na your family dem give this contract, will your family say no to it?

Nice idea... From my constant usage of the Lagos-Ibadan line, I've always wondered why some "gaps" are not being exploited

I'll suggest whichever company comes in to take late morning Lagos-Ibadan line, they'll make money

The normal NRC train leaves Lagos by 8 in the morning and that's all... Most passengers even miss their flights

But if an investor can come, even if it's just 5-7 couches, and offer standard rides, say 8:30 and 9am, Lagos - Ibadan... They'll be filled up every day of the week and twice on weekends

Oooo, let me also add that there's no standard morning train from Ogun State to Lagos (not counting the rickety train that still runs)... That's another cash cow..

Just run 7am, 7.30 and 8am Abeokuta to Lagos rides, you'll be filled up always... Many people living in the Ogun State axis will prefer it to going by bus... Live in Ogun State (cheap rent), work in Lagos

Imaging spending just 12 minutes, from Agbara in Ogun State to Ikeja...

Let me add, the company should ensure no cash payment, use the online booking model that NRC is also using

Shame .
Very useless country.
All the second handed train Ameachi and Buhari led useless APC bought from china have break down.
In 2026 go to other countries and see what they call train.
Tomorrow Tinubu will also blame the opposition for why all the train have breakdown.
APC k!lled Nigeria.
Stop them in 2027.

NRC invites private firms to run own trains on its tracks.

Omo this is real investment o ,hope agbero and union people won't hold them into ransome or sabotage their investments

Killed how? Please explain? Because you inherited an old techno phone from your step brother, does not give you a right to come here and be typing trash.

DennisEche:
Good ideas but it may be bad investment, bandits fit blow am anytime.
The government should tackle insecurity first and be sincere with the fight against it, not the window dressing they are doing.
See what Jordan did over the church attack in Krak,the attackers were arrested less than 3days.if it's Nigeria, it will take forever, the government will just be issuing press statement and nothing to show.
The killers of Deborah till now are still roaming the street free.

It will take forever? Those that kidnapped the Corps members have been arrested, those that caused the kaduna train kidnapping had been prosecuted and in jail believe in your country for once!

AMINDA:
Of course it isn't. Tantita security is now guiding pipelines in trillions and donating vehicles to Tinubu's campaign while we have the Navy and Train Services will now be handed over to cronies while we have the NRC.

Stop typing trash, the Tantia contract is worth about 198 billion yearly, and is an operational cost, meaning it is removed before profit, and only about 50% of the cost is attributable to Nigeria. In the same period, production has nearly doubled the lowest days of the Buhari administration, theft has been reduced to the minimal.

In the 3 years,of this govt, NNPC have remitted its largest amounts ever since creation.

Stop typing trash

The Navies were guarding the same pipelines when theft rose to unmanageable proportions.

Ok maybe now that every state will have her own security you will leave Tinubu and start blaming the governor's

We always knew the whole idea behind state police was to pass the buck of responsibility as he attempted to do with local government autonomy. Confronting banditry with sophisticated weapons will not be the responsibility of state police. You cannot enjoy the perks of being a president without bearing the responsibilities of being the Commander-in-Chief.

you no dey always make zense, so you expect the fg police to be doing all this and expect positive results? I know you people are pain because the country is going the right paths. Forest guard and state police is here to stay. Insecurity will be in minimal level . this reforms will continue next year until every state have control over their resources up to local government level. Nigeria is too big for Abuja to be controlling every state

But Tinubu is about to enter into an out-of-court settlement to handover the withheld local government funds in Osun to Adeleke. The only state that local government autonomy was previously enforced due to Adeleke not being in the APC was Osun state. This is despite a supreme court judgement. The joke is actually on you. "Bold reforms" for you and "Prado jeeps" for the Mummy's Men Movement.

What concern me with Adeleke and Prado my own is make the country better. Ifl they like they share plane it's step by step.it will get to a stage the NA will put it into law as a crime

Killed how please? I still travel to Ibadan by train regularly. Still well maintained as it was under Amaechi. LASG runs their Red Line on their track. I also see cargo trains.

I saw a video of the Abuja train too recently. Which one is not functioning well again?

lonelydora:
What a country! Government should have no hand in airport, railway services, hospitals, public transport, water and power sectors. Fully privatize these sectors and see how fast we will develop.

It is not government...it is the type of people in government
