Guyman02:
Because of ordinary locomotive purchased with loan from China.
You are part of the problem of this country. Everything is Sai Baba politics

If someone else had bought the locomotive with previous loans that were taken, maybe we wouldn't have been talking of locomotive now but something better.
No matter how a reach man is, he will always tell you to appreciate your little beginning, what this means is that they all understand that they didn't become wealthy overnight, it took a gradual but consistent increase. Not just about desire but working towards it irrespective of the challenges on your way.

What is good about the development! All this old locomotives. Obviously you have lost touch with present day

Where is the economic sense in having such a project (high speed bullet train) in present day Nigeria? How many people do you think can afford the tickets? Have you thought about the maintenance cost against the little revenue that will be generated due to low patronage?

khalidx:
one third of the Uk train � fleets are DMU's. Name 5 countries that don't use diesel locomotives

More than half of all ICU trains in Germany are electric.... The diesel ones days have been numbered.

You say what again?

Our Ghanaian brother,
We are getting there with this new President.
We are taking our rightful place back on the continent.
Thanks for the mention: truth is bitter, but we accept it!

Damn!!![/quote]Ur comments just shows how deluded U are, in the oda thread U said Jonathan collected loans to build railway n even Ur almighty ameachi said d rails were 80% complete hence it was named after Jonathan.

Stop fooling urself on social media for comments n likes n I have always told U a time will come people will see Ur comments n move on.

This is 2020 yet U keep putting all Ur life frustration on someone dat left govt for almost 5 years now, can U bring out d economic indices den n compare it with d one of dis present govt?

Can U compare the standard of living of Nigerians now to date of d previous govt and tell us which is better?

U should b ashamed of urself n try to grow up.

Let me ask U a question in Ur so called bbq station if a manager was draining Ur company n U sack him for non performance to employ anoda will u continue dragging d former manager for d failure of Ur present hire?

Fuel now is 148.50 n by December it will b close to 200, den I will know if Buhari will.tell U to buy Ur own fuel for 1 naira.

Do U even do trading or buy things from abroad?

Do U have an idea of what d exchange rate is? it is over 100% increase now, during d time of Jonathan U so refer to dollar was 200(black market) now dollar is about 440 in d black market, pounds is how much now.

Dat U don't go to d market or trade does not mean everyone is like U?

U can support Ur APC without bringing Jonathan into Ur thrash U call a post.

In dis modern dispensation U celebrate locomotive trains just shows how backward U are.

Fuels is now 148.50 note dat d price of bbq one hot dog is still 500 n two is 900 soon people will spend more on transport such dat no one will patronise Ur bbq

khalidx:
they're just locomotives not coaches.
locomotive is (rail transport) the power unit of a train which does not carry passengers or freight itself, but pulls the coaches or rail cars or wagons

Bros you try, all these NL illiterates forming woke don;t know anything. I just read them and laugh at their idiocy

Hangulsaram:
You are such a mediocre. in this era, locomotive train is a good development to you?

Development is a relative term oga. what you see as development is not what the other glimpse as development.

I understand your plight keyboard warrior. people like you want us to meet up with other advance countries overnight. I believe in your dream

I like your statement but honestly that last quote is where you got it all wrong. In as much as I commend the effort of the government in acquiring these trains as these are better than none, you should bare in mind that lots of African countries have started using bullet trains. Countries that we are way richer than. So saying "Nigeria a country of beggars with choice" is utter disrespect to Nigerians as you and I know that if not for the wickedness an agreed of our leaders we as a nation should be past using such trains. We have the right to demand for the best as we deserve it. We are not beggars in our country and we have a choice. This is still a welcomed development.

There's no African country that has a bullet train

Stop spreading misinformation

Infact the fastest and only fastest high speed train in Africa is in Morocco that was completed in 2018

And its about 250kmph as opposed to the second fastest of 160kmph

deltateam:
I forgive you. You don't have to insult to pass your information. We are different and see things from different perspectives.

I stated my opinion, state yours and move on.

Besides I never mentioned a bullet train.

so you want what electric train..
with what electricity..
sorry for the insult..
but make sure you know what your talking about before you pass out your opinion

We shouldn't be living 50 years behind time, because it will require enough diesel to power

it. Going for an electric train would've make some sense.

You are asking for electric trains when you guys are refusig to pay the bills?

Good development. Design your business logo for 2000naira. If interested, check my signature. Thank you!

don't change the topic bros. I said list 5 developed countries with 100% electric trains...... Even the Almighty US is still running diesel train, the same thing with the UK.
The UK will use diesel-powered trains until 2040

If You remove african contributions to China Development it will slash less tha 50%

Make all of una pessimist take am.......

I HATE TRAINS.
I HATE BRIDGES.
I HATE RICE.
I HATE TALLEST BUILDING EAST OF THE NIGER


Let me give the background to this piece. I was reading some comments on Twitter early in the week, when I ran into this one by one Dr Ben Gbenro: “Why are some people allergic to good news about Nigeria? You are angry about the test-run of Lagos-Ibadan rail, you are angry about the development in Onne Port, but will eagerly amplify any negative news even if it’s not true. Something is wrong with you and I am here to tell you.”

Of course, that comment generated responses, both positive and negative. But the one that caught my fancy specially was by Ayekooto, who declared: “We have got to a stage when GMB achievements can no longer be denied but hated. I hate trains. I hate bridges. I hate rice.”

Very profound. A lot of people can no longer deny the many achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari, particularly in the area of infrastructure, building a new Nigeria, and so, they have decided to hate it. Sad. Very sad.

Nobody can deny that there are very serious challenges in the country, particularly in the areas of security, the economy, and standard of living generally. But that is not all there is to Nigeria of today, and those challenges are being addressed very robustly. That hymn says “behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour.” We will surely see an end to the challenges, if we all work together, and eschew hate speeches.

Why then do some people choose to see and amplify only negative things? Why do they choose to remain willfully blind and deaf to positive things? And surrounded and confronted by salutary developments, they keep repeating; what has the Buhari administration achieved? Show us.

You tell them that just last weekend, there was a test run of the Lagos-Ibadan rail project, with brand new coaches that will begin commercial operation before the end of the year.That is happening in a country where we were told we couldn’t afford new coaches when our oil was selling at over 100 dollars per barrel. Now, at about 40 dollars per barrel, we are launching new coaches. Instead of giving credit to a prudent government, they just say; I hate trains.

Okay, if you hate trains, what of brand new airports in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, Enugu, and others in the works? There was a time we were said to parade the worst airports in the world. But not any longer. Buhari reversed it in his four years. What do they say about that? They look up, look down, scratch their heads, and say; I hate airports. I’ve never even boarded a plane in my life, and I don’t want to board. Will I ever enter a plane if I’d been killed by bandits?

Okay. You hate airports and planes. What of bridges being built over rivers in different parts of the country, most especially the Second River Niger Bridge, which the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) built with mouth for 16 years. You tell them that the bridge is almost 50% done, and should be completed in the first quarter of 2022. There’s also the Loko-Oweto Bridge, linking Benue and Nasarawa States. It was started by a previous administration, but almost completed now. Like a cornered rat, their eyes dart furtively from corner to corner, seeking a hole to enter. Finding none, they tell you deadpan: I hate bridges.

Okay. All those are physical structures. So they want stomach infrastructure. You then tell them of the rice revolution, which has freed us from being a net importer of the product in the world. You point out that if Buhari hadn’t put his money where his mouth was, and encouraged us to go back to the land, causing rice farmers to rise from six to 12 million, we would have been in serious trouble when COVID-19 struck. How would we have imported rice, with all international borders closed, and no foreign exchange to even place orders? They pat their tummies gingerly, belch after a hearty meal, and then declare: I hate rice.

A Cancer Centre has been built and commissioned by President Buhari at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). An ultra-modern diagnostic center also built and commissioned in Kano. And just this week, another diagnostic centre built at a cost of $5.5 million, was commissioned at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, in Abia State. What do they say of all these? “I hate hospitals. May I never need to use any diagnostic centre. It is not my portion.”

You join them to say amen, since you don’t have a hateful heart. And you remind them that the largest ever vessel in the country, Maerskline Stadelhorn, with a length of 300 meters and width of 48 meters, berthed few days ago at Onne Port, in Rivers State. That is the biggest ever container vessel to berth in any part of Nigeria. Onne people were delirious with joy, and praised the government to high heavens, because no vessel had come to their port for 12 years, till August last year, under Buhari. You tell the naysayers the positive economic implications, but they refuse to listen. They dive under water, shouting as they go: We hate container vessels.

You then take them to Yenagoa, in Bayelsa State. Just last week, the skyline of South-south and South-East was transformed, as President Buhari commissioned the tallest Federal Government structure in the region, the 17-story Nigerian Content Tower, Headquarters of Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

The architectural masterpiece occupies an area equivalent to four football fields, and has a 1,000 seater conference centre plus a 10 MW power plant. Started in late 2015, now completed, all under Buhari. Engineer Simbi Wabote, Executive Secretary of the agency paid tribute to the resolve, determination and encouragement of the President, that saw the structure to completion in record time. And Wabote, third E.S of NCDMB in its 10 years history, has written his name in gold. Just because he has a supportive President.

Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylvia, under whose tenure as Bayelsa State Governor the land was allocated for the project, declared: “The commissioning of this building is symbolic in many ways. It shows that Mr President is keen to see infrastructural development in every part of the country...It shows that skyscrapers and other laudable infrastructure can be built in the Niger Delta.”

But they say Buhari hasn’t achieved anything. You show them the 17-story building, and as they gaze skyward, their caps and headgear fall off. You pick the cap and headgear, dust and hand them back. And you ask, brothers and sisters, how now? Rather than admit defeat, they pull the caps and headgear over their eyes, and grumbled: We hate skyscrapers. They make us dizzy.

At that point, you pity them.
You realize that they need prayers.
They hate everything good.
They hate anything uplifting.
They hate development.
They hate their country.
They even hate themselves.


GOD BLESS NIGERIA. [/quote]Oga Manna...calm down now...take it easy...this na technical knockout oo!

Jokes apart, you or whoever you quoted really hit the nail on the head! I have seen a developing trend of hate for good news and warm embrace of bad news amongst many Nigerians, well represented on this forum.
They forget that when you rejoice with good news or with those who are rejoicing, good news and good things will also come your way!
I hope we all learn!

marvin906:
dude aside from Morocco no other country has bullet train..
you think it's cheap abi

No matter the cost we can afford it, the money stolen by one person in this country can afford it. Morocco that has it don't have two heads.

chinex11:

I know for a fact that one of the reasons Buhari is serious about getting Nigeria’s SGR trains running is so people can get familiar with the technology and stop asking embarrassing questions like chinex11 here. This is sadly what happens when a generation(s) is deprived of rail.

EVILFOREST:
How Please...?
There are such TRAINS in the United States, Russia and Many Parts of Europe.
IF you term it OLD, why not manufacture yours and stop patronizing the expertise of the WHITE MAN...
What stops you from making SPEED TRAINS and Bullet trains..?
What's stopping you from going to the MOON, after all it's right above your head.
...NIGERIA a Country of BEGGARS with CHOICE

Sir, as someone based abroad, you have said it all...a lot of Nigerians are allergic to news of any form of progress in this country whereas they have done virtually nothing to contribute to the progress of the country.

Africa still basking in mediocrity. Locomotive train in this 2020. The last locomotive train was used in Europe during world war 2. That's in 1945. Just imagine the years. Nonsense. What hppns to bullet train or tunnel train like the Euro stars model. Yeye

Bellowcy:

Maybe you need to learn a thing or two about modern trains. They are still called locomotives and have come a long way since the steam powered trains that you know. Nigeria does not have the infrastructure to support fully electric trains. In the US Amtrak uses the same technology that is being deployed by Nigeria to cover some routes. The modern locomotive is really an electric train but the source of power or the generator is a diesel engine. The drive to the wheels is accomplished by electric motors
We are building the ground infrastructure and we as a nation start to electrify adding a fully electric locomotive will be quite easy. T

Please mention the "lots of African countries".
Then secondly, help us define the term "bullet train"....we will take it from there.

Please tell him again...I have already asked him to tell us the names of the "lots of African countries" that use bullet train and also to define the term "bullet train"... maybe he doesn't understand what he is saying.
Even in India, as advanced as they are, they use the old school trains similar to that which Nigerian Railway Corporation uses.
I don't know where a lot of Nigerians draw their conclusions from.

sofiscatedmoron:
U don't get the point,sir, technology thar other nations are phasing out, Nigerian is still anticipation for it,, that is what im trying to let you know,, off course old technologies are still used in the whole world,, but its actually fading away,,
Show me where America ordered locomotives from china and i will believe u sir

India that is 10 times more developed than Nigeria still uses these trains... they don't have a bullet train. Which African country uses bullet train asides Morocco and maybe South Africa?

Like someone said above, you don't have 24 hours continuous electricity, yet you want bullet train that relies solely on electricity to operate.
Bullet train services are the most expensive in the whole wide world...if the govt brings bullet train to Nigeria and only the millionaires and billionaires can pay N50-100k per trip, you will complain that the government only loves the rich and not the masses!

What do Nigerians really want?
