[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]
stale n dry...try again later.

And after refurbishment, where will the train run on? I thought you were asking why GEJ didn't buy new trains, why is Fashola buying 35 years old trains only to go and refurbish the interior?

Your governor started a light project in 2008 with 2011 completion, now is 2015, not a single out of the two has been completed and you as happy as Larry - only if you could get off the cheap skun
Each of the TTC cars come equipped with air conditioning, automatic sliding doors, solid-state traction control, energy saving regenerative braking, and a wide range of modern safety features and amenities. Once equipped with a state-of-the-art, GPS-based train control system made by General Electric, Eko Rail's trains will provide faster, safer, cheaper and more reliable transportation for Lagosians.

http://www.thestreet.com/story/11260144/1/eko-rails-trains-begin-journey-to-lagos.html
I'd rather take a well upgraded rail system tooled in the most advanced country on the surface of the earth with materials made by reputable companies like GE's state-of-the-art GPS systems, modern features and amenities tomorrow than saddle myself with the rubbish below....

Rushing to by and saddle Nigerians with worthless scrap from Siberia just to win election is nothing but scam.

And of what relevance is your repainting dates? I don't care this year or next year as long as they take their time to deliver quality product and service. I don't subscribe to cheap and rush mediocre mentality like you and your type so you might want to peddle that rubbish elsewhere...

Aren't you ashamed of yourself? the report you posted was in 2011.. 4 years after, no track, no train and you are still showing your 32? Of all the trains provided by GEJ, have any of them malfunctioned? are they not equipped with A/C? isn't better and faster than traveling by road?

The train system has been comatose for 30 years, you never complained, maybe you should wait another 30 years till Fashola 35 years old trains start arriving

Why not tell us precisely how long it take to completely upgrade and retrofit 120 trains with the best modern features and amenities? Is it 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, please telling us Mr internet engineer.

You people need to keep quiet sometimes. ..

Again, what's worth doing is worth doing right and i dont care iF it takes longer. I don't share your cheap and mediocre mentality.

Ok oo, continue waiting while i'm riding GEJ air-conditioned trains while waiting for Abuja - Kaduna standard gauge line to on board.

If it takes GE 4 years to fix only GPS system in the trains, I wonder how many years it will take them to build a whole new train. Continue living in your hypocrisy.
Re: Doyin Okupe: NIGERIA CAN'T AFFORD Brand New Trains, It Is Not America by agileson: 10:09pm On Mar 07, 2015
Doyin is right. In America, the trains are assembled here. So they can afford them brand new. We can't do that and there is nothing wrong in secondhand as far as they are safe. In America, the trains make massive losses and if they could save money and not compromise safety by getting them second hand, they would.

These trains are a huge huge accomplishment by the GEJ administration especially in contrast to Buhari s cursed administrations record of canceling the Lagos metro. A man so stupid, he is dodging debate. Its ignorance among apc voters and the masses, that they don't recognize the achievement and blessings of goodluck Jonathan and the importance of a railway system whether second hand or new

when change would come, it would not come from other "mushroom" parties because they do not have the wherewithal to enforce it except a revolution happens. Although I am not in full support of APC but I like the man of Buhari and Osinbajo and I believe that even if vultures surround them, these individuals would stand by their words because they are men of their own. I do not see Tinubu commanding Buhari if Buhari eventually gets in.

Why are people condemning Buhari? I am not a fan of Buhari neither APC but Nigeria need a change. Most of the people condemning Buhari were not yet born when he ruled Nigeria. Part of what Buhari's government did is environmental sanitation. Most governor still adopt that till today. They said Buhari is too strict, why should people be scared if their hands are clean? Nigeria is richer than most European countries and they don't buy or use second hand trains. UAE is a country like Nigeria, they are not as blessed like Nigeria. We all can see what they are turning their riches to. God bless Nigeria, thunder go fire those that want to drain Nigeria.
