My friend, those trains were simply just repainted & some minor repairs done so as 2 be used 4 2015 campaign as usual, simply put, Jona iz a bigtime FRAUD!

Whynotthetruth:
Were you the person they gave contract for the repainting? Why didn't past governments repaint the trains with minor repairs for us to see and use? What stops state governors with similar projects(amechi, fashola etc) from painting there's too or are their parties not campaigning? Don't you think we should thank GEJ for being smart enough to pull through that repainting and minor repairs which others failed to do?? Don't you think we can personally save some cash and inconvenience within the time the train will be functional since to you isn't meant to last
Goodluck is doing it....Celebrate Nigeria and scream; "God bless GEJ"....

21st century things on my mind. Not this renovated junk

PhockPhockMan:
For the first time in my life I will travel with train. Tomorrow, I will book PortHarcourt/Umuahia ticket. On reaching Umuahia, I will book taxi to Imo, my home state.
It's an experience I will live to cherish.

2 months to election?

ISpiksDaTroof:
First time in your life you're boarding a train, at 33yrs old, but you're always on here trying to tell us how Governments operate in Western countries?! Safe to say you don't even know what the interior of a plane looks like aside from what youve seen in movies and tv shows. No wonder you're impressed by the 18th century locomotive GEJ gifted y'all and you think its the best thing since slice bread.

Bro, quit sounding like weeping dog... I. need answers not rhetorics plz...
Why did previous governments both civilian and military (buhari most especially) not do same if it was that easy?
What do you know about train mechanics?
How long does it take to build a modest train?
What does it cost to build one?
Why hasn't fashola and amechi(APC saints) completed there's 8years after??
Won't it save people money, energy and time?
Won't it save our roads longevity?
Was Rome built in a day??

Whynotthetruth:
But Buhari stopped same lofty and people oriented dream in Lagos under jakande as head of state?? Why didn't he build even 2nd century baby walker to convey people and goods through the rail lines? Why kill the dream then and come out today to scream? Do you know what employment he denied people and revenue to government by killing that Lagos metro line train

MichaelSokoto:

ISpiksDaTroof:
Did Buhari also stop trains from being put in Aba? What about Enugu? No? How about Onitsha? So how come your leaders---till this day --- haven't found it necessary to provide it for their citizens?

In any case, the point is not that most of you are clearly hateful hypocritical bigots that choose to forget Buhari inherited a messed up Government from a thieving Second Republic and was only in charge for less than 20 months (and did much more than GEJ has done in about 6yrs), but about the fact that most of you are willing to accept mediocrity while the rest of the world speeds past you. (pun not intended).

smithsammy:
hahahahahaha! Village boi! For the first time in your life. Jonathan has damaged your cerebral.. I can see you need to be liberated. You need to stop this achaic way of living and reasoning. To cap it all, you need a totally change; that you can be sure my general will bring to your life next year.

gentleoyink:
Hey, six years is not enough. The Uk is planning a high speed 2 rail network. They will start implementing the plan in 2017 and it is expected to be completed 2026. That is 9 years after they start building. I want you to consider the land mass of Nigeria and compare it with that of UK. Also consider that the Uk has an existing rail network [1].

My problem with you is that you want GEJ and his team to plan and complete construction of a rail system in all of Nigeria in 6 years. You and your likes are wicked.

That is how you guys have been complaining about power immediately after privatisation , when even experts say the sector requires massive investment over a five year period before we can see the results [2].

Do you guys really love Nigeria? If you do, will aim to build on the little we already have, not this pull down and destroy posture in the name of opposition.

There are some news and posts you see, you just whistle and not type anything at least, people will think someone recharge N5 sense for you.

Kindly provide answers to my questions to you
Don't ignore them please...thank you...

Sincere9gerian:
How did you arrive at your 6 years calculation? Why not 7 years or even forever? Has your support for Buhari also destroyed your sense of arithmetic?

MichaelSokoto:
No need 2 go in2 name callin.
U don't jez wake up 2 months to election, repaint old trains, clear out bushy rail tracks then start screamin "Transformation".
Agreed a total turn around of our failin railway system has 2 go tru processes & time, buh ask urself sincerely, "can Jona really actually transform d railway sector? Don't 4get dat he's budgeted money 4 a new plane in next years budget. What kind of a president would want 2 do dat when they 're preachin austerity measure?" Ehn?
& don't let us jump in2 power sector pls, cos u will end up foolin urself.

I am 40 year hold from delta state. I have boarded plane, helipcourter , motor car, Lorry, Trailer , bicycle, motorcycle, tricycle, ship, speedboats, canoe , Cable car at Obudu ranch. But I have not seen or touch or enter a train in my life. I look forward the day Gej will commmision the rayline in warri delta state to Ajakuta in kogi state. Do it and I will vote for you.

MichaelSokoto:
I gave u answers, find d rest 4rm google cos am a busy man.

gentleoyink:
True, no need for name calling. I got pissed off because of your stand. Like I said, there are some things you have to keep quiet and say nothing else you would be seen as one who gets angry with progress.

Now unto your claim that he rushed to paint trains, my guy cool down. You and I know that works on our rail system did not start now. Obj planned and awarded contracts, Yaradua came in and cancelled them. GEJ came in and started again, maybe he adopted Obj's plan or had a new one. If you will be truthful, anytime the plans for the railways are made public, you guys start shouting about results instead of plans. Now you read a little news of result you say negative about it.

As for the New Airplane, I am not sure about the news, because of the source. If it is true, guy, that's why we have the national assembly, if it is not needed they won't approve it. Sending a budget that includes a new Airplane is not wrong, it is constitutional and shows a responsible president. However, as to the moral side of it we can argue. The president did not swear to up hold you values and morals (which differs per individual) but the constitution of Nigeria.

My brother, it is your right to support anybody for any political office in the country. Your support should be on the basis of moving Nigeria forward. If you think Buhari will be the best person, then support him.
If he wins, he will build on top the little he met. All this pull down and destroy everything until our man is there does not mean well for Nigeria.

Note, people say Obama is great, not because he has done one spectacular thing, but because he is the president of America. America that was built by bits over decades/centuries.

Great development.. Would love to see some pics
