[b] Story story!

Once upon a time, I had 2 dogs (male and female) who can't bark, don't bite, they don't do anything that other canines do. They run at the sound of gunshot or on sighting thieves. The thieves came in and sacked my community. They took my sandals away, they took my food away, they took my cars ways and stole all the books I bought for my kids.

10 dog years later, this two dogs birthed 2 puppies. This puppies became everything their dog parent never were. They backed at thieves, chase them out of my area, and protected me, my sandals, my food, and cars and the books from theft.

So happy by their birth, I sold the 2 dog parents to my envious neighbour.

My envious neighbour started spreading propagandas that my dogs are responsible for the constant attacks be thief in my community because all the while, my dogs are the first to scamper for safety on sighting thieves. That we must change dogs. That his dogs are better. That we must CHANGE. Then I laugh. Change has already arrived naturally. God changed the dogs and gave me newer dogs. If God says yes, who can say No? Gods change is everlasting.

Didactics.


My community= Nigeria
Me= PDP
My Sandals = Trains, rails and Good roads
The 2 useless dog parents= GMB, Tinubu, etc
The 2 effective dogs = GEJ, Akinwumi Adesina etc
My jealous neighbour=APC
My food= efficient fertilizer assisted grown Maize, Cassava etc
Cars =Innoson Cars
Books= Universities, Almajeri schools etc

Once again. God's change is the best. If God says Yes, who can say No or Broom? [/b]

This is an unbelievable video recorded by SaharaReporter’s Adeoye Fasehun.

In it Doyin Okupe said the ridiculous and made sense only to thieves.

When asked why Nigeria buys only second-hand trains, he answered that this is because “we are not America,”

Nigeria is rich enough to afford as many new trains as it needs, the only reason why it does not buy them is because as has been proven repeatedly, Diezani, Ngozi, Jonathan, Dokubo, Muazu and the like embezzle over 3 times the nation’s annual budget in corruption that Jonathan defends as not stealing.

Lagos state's Eko Rail...

www.nairaland.com/attachments/2135824_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188


The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts.

According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption.

He said the decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollars each. According to the magazine. Ross declined to discuss specific figures the Lagos State government is paying, but said the price is significantly more than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It's better to put something nice and worthwhile on the ground tomorrow than put rubbish on the ground today.

You people have cheap and mediocre mentality...

Quality is better than quantity.

Besides, we are building a complete with ten lane freeway system, BRT access and rail line. It's the largest public works system in Africa today.

Now scrap along with your mediocrity from the junk yards of Siberia....

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that [size=14pt]the states had requested for $2bn[/size] to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

You are very high on cheap skunk!! buying a 35 years old scrap train is now quality because Fashola bought them?

Stop lying you hypocrite!! Fashola bought a 35 years old decommissioned cars which usually sell for $1500 each. Those were supposed to arrive in 2012 yet you have the guts to rubbish existing train made possible by a transforming president.

All Fashola train achievements are on papers alone and he had 8 complete years to deliver. GEJ at only 5+ is already delivering visible results.

Modified: Those Fashola trains are being phased out in Canada because of safety concerns!!!

lmao at siberian junk is already delivering result? The only thing it's delivering is shame and embarrassment just like the okugbe clown limiting Nigeria to that ugly siberian absurdity...


Our trains are in the US getting the best upgrade and modern features per international standards where by law they must deliver quality workmanship and safety guarantees..


I'd rather have the best next year than have some worthless crap today so keep quiet with that rubbish...
