So much noise has been made about the transformation in the Railway section by Jonathan. So I decided to have a look at the Nigerian Railway Corporation's website.

According to NRC, it takes a whole 29.24 hours (1 day, 5 hours, 24 mins) to travel from Kano to Lagos (1,000 km) This indicates that the train travels at approximately 35km/hr. I should point out that it takes about 10-11hours to travel the same distance (from Plymouth to Aberdeen) in the UK.

I'm not sure what kind of train this is, but it certainly does not justify the billions that have been spent in this sector.

Transformation

Anytime I hear about these so called trains I feel like vomiting

To think that we have spent billions on these so-called 'transformation' trains actually makes me sick

In UK there are different types of trains

some are faster than the other

a journey of 1000 miles begin with a step. What GEJ has achieved is a good start. We can go on and improve it with high speed trains but its better than nothing and is still an achievement

Lolz, this man call Gej is a failure and he alwayz lies. The so calld train he said he restorated was the once used in UK Before christ... Al I know is that Jonathan has lost this Election and come february 14 #Buhar is gonna be our next president.

The Otuoke man brough Locomotive

1890 Locomotive to Nigeria.

And He's so proud of it.

This Locomotive has formed the major campaign message of Dumbo sorry Sambo

I will rather stay in my house following election up on TV than to vote GEJ again.

But, since we get bad leaders when good people chose not to vote, I will rather vote for GMB of APC.

Please Naija youth, shun violence, do not be used.

I encourage every eligible voters to make a concerted effort to vote if we really want change.

God Bless Nigeria.

I totally agree that a journey of a 1000 miles begin with a step. But why accept a bicycle when you can afford and have paid for a ca?
