lol...

It not like I was expecting anything sane, sensible and intelligent from you beyond your usual ignorant, tribal and bigoted rubbish.

Cutealexio:
Understand your point, I have been living in China for over three years and even though they have high-speed rail,they're still building more marrow gauge lines. We are a developing how many people do you think will be able to afford the ticket prices. People are evening complaining about 2k5 Lagos-Ibadan train ticket. We don't have the expertise and manpower to handle such infrastructure yet. One step at a time, I believe one day we will get there

Why is it a narrow-gauge

Kinematics:




If you like write nonsense from today till thy kingdom come. PH will never be in the east.

onuman:


Ok. PH is in the Southsouth. Is there any geographical expression like Southsouth in Geography dictionary or in any dictionary?


You Divide to drink crude oil in the Niger Delta. Crude oil purges the stomach. It’s behind all the banditry, Boko Haram and herdsmen terrorism . Nigeria has done little with cheap cash from crude oil. Develop more sense.

sagitariusbaby:
but it does connect all the Eastern State capitals, you guys can never be satisfied nor pleased. I still don't like Buhari though

Why is it a narrow-gauge

pandax:


I am not impressed at all. It is narrow gauge oooo in this 21st century of supersonic train speed. who did we offend as a race?
No developed nation or aspiring to be developed nation will build narrow gauge line in this century
The better North and SW will be standard gauge and FG will build narrow gauge in the defeated south and lesser North.. Tueeh

LilyColin:
Waiting for Mr failure asslickers to dominate this thread.



Mumu youths defending their oppressors both online and offline.

Kinematics:



Fixed. Its not passing through PH, rather it connects PH to Maiduguri.
Also PH is not a town in the East.

jamjo:



Satisfied you said, They are replacing the old narrow gauge in other regions with standard gauge rail and they are rehabilitating old outdated narrow gauge for the east, and we all will be paying the loan borrowed from China one Nigeria my foot. (Lagos--Ibadan--Kano standard gauge/Abuja--Kaduna standard gauge/Katsina--Niger Republic standard gauge/Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri standard gauge) Please who is fooling who?

FORUM OF ILLITERATES.

Most of you don't even know of a single technical difference between narrow gauge and standard gauge railway. All you know is that one sounds 'less' than the other, leading to the usual tribal animosity borne of ignorance and crass stupidity and dumbness.

You illiterates don't even realise that narrow gauge rail is perfect for areas with large amount of forest and hills, and difficult terrain, as it allows trains to make tighter bends and curves.

As explained by wiki:


In some countries, narrow gauge is the standard; Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, New Zealand, South Africa, and the Australian states of Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania have a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge, and Malaysia and Thailand have metre-gauge railways. Narrow-gauge trams, particularly metre-gauge, are common in Europe. Non-industrial, narrow-gauge mountain railways are (or were) common in the Rocky Mountains of the United States and the Pacific Cordillera of Canada, Mexico, Switzerland, Bulgaria, the former Yugoslavia, Greece, and Costa Rica.

So, ALL OF YOU IGNORANT TRIBALISTIC SPEAR CHUCKING ILLITERATES - Hope you've learnt something beyond your usual tribal hate today.

EXOUSIAng:

You igbos are very unfortunate people...
I knew them same way the 2nd Niger bridge is almost completed and you people still claim its a scam is the same way you will find a way to wave this project also....
Your hatred for anyone from every other part of the country has become some strong most of you have consciously decided to be stupid...

Cutealexio:
It covers some South Eastern cities. The rail will move from Bonny Ports to PH in Rivers with a spur to Owerri and link Abia-Enugu-Benue-Lafia-Kaduna-Bauchi-Gombe and Borno. A new spur to Ebonyi and Anambra will be built to connect all Southeast states to the line.

pandax:


We are 21 years into the 21st century and 90% of all the countries you mentioned were old economies that built the narrow gauges in mid 20th century like Nigeria and none will today given the development in technology opt for narrow gauge.

Kindly tell me the reason(s) why FG is replacing narrow gauges in NW & SW with standard gauges?. Do we have more mountains in SS/SE compared to NW/SW?. This nation can never work if we are not all treated as equals

Redcrafton:


From east kii you there.

You have never supported anything in the east.

How can you...one person, determine what will happen in your state?

Rossikk:


You are a lying DEVIL. They are NOT replacing any narrow gauge with standard gauge anywhere in Nigeria.

All the new standard gauge lines are being built where there were no lines before.

Where there were old narrow gauge lines before, those lines are being rehabilitated.

That's how it's being done - Rehabilitating all the narrow gauge lines, while building new, standard gauge where no lines existed prior.

But a satanic mindset like yours that is bent on hate and prejudice will never seek to learn the truth.

After all the truth means you cannot hate, and what is your life without hate? It's meaningless.

BKayy:
You people like linking SE and Ndigbo to a project that doesn't concern them.

They are building a railway from Port Harcourt (SS) to Maiduguri(NE) and you are calling it Eastern project. What concerns us with port Harcourt, Maiduguri and Shekau?

Rossikk:


Shut up and research before typing ignorant garbage.

Japan and the other nations I posted above have narrow gauge rail as their standard, meaning they build the railways to the narrow gauge specifications till today.

So your point is utterly baseless, Mr Tribalistic spear chucker.

And no, the FG is NOT ''replacing narrow gauges in NW & SW with standard gauges''.

That's just something you pulled out of your stinky bum.

They are building standard gauge lines ONLY on new railroads - where there were no lines before. Where there were narrow gauge lines, those lines are being rehabilitated.

SmartPolician:


In Nigeria, there's a way they check geopolitical terms.

There's South East and South South.

However, "Eastern" means the two regions, probably because there's no cardinal point like South South (it was a political creation).

For example, eastern ports mean the ports in Rivers, Delta and Cross River.
