theenchanter: yes, it's a commuter rail, and like every commuter rail across the world, the first phase connected the city center, together with interstate rail-line to the airport.
The phase 2 under construction will go deeper into the capital territory.
They have no idea of this basic things cos their zoo is to broke to even envision in the first place.wonder no more why their first attempt at it is appalling and disgraceful (a slap on Africans face)- talk of that 2 century old Spanish garbage moving metal.
Abohboy: So Ethiopia is carrying 200 000 passengers per day in these COVID times when in most other countries nobody wants to use public transportation?
This line opened a few weeks ago and during a recent surge in COVID cases you expect millions to be using it daily? infact what is the need for millions to move between Lagos and Ibadan daily?
Maybe every week they would pull in 2 million passengers in normal times but these are COVID times I tell you.
The reason for such low frequency of train trips is because not all of the trains have been put into operation, we've chosen to build an assembly and manufacturing plant so we can make our own trains 20% were imported pre made and ready for usage and the rest of them are to be assembled within Nigeria to build up our local train manufacturing industry
( We actually think forward )
And it's actaully four trips per day not 2, there is no wastage of diesel as you say because a profit is still being made from the project
It's as if you don't put any overall tbought into any of your arguments and just look for random ways to discredit Nigeria for whatever reason
Yes I am aware of that so I do t bother getting into any serious argument with him.so just show him the nuisance of his zoo,wait and watch the ripple effect it has on him then burst into dangerous laughter with a popcorn by my side and a soft drink to step it down.
rvp20182: Future tense. Delusion. Nigeria is broke. It cannot finance any capital project. Even that Lagos-Ibandan will not go into operation - its taken forever for 120km.
Lol rants of a bitter mad nan. I have access Lagos to Ibadan via the supposed train that will never go into operation. What a lunatic.
rvp20182: Kenya is corrupt but at least policy wonks are allowed to do their work - run projections, come up with designs, and all that - with fatcats coming to ask their 10 percent later. NIgeria is run like a cattle kraal.
rvp20182: So when do you expect your airport line to ever be populated. See the whole of Abuja is Potemkin village. Just because other cities have train from Airport to the city center - you started from it. And that is airport that is like 40kms from Abuja city center
Total waste of money.
As for Nigeria projects - none has been completed since 2016 when these thread started - and none likely to be completed - because you gov is BROKE. NO MONEY.
It will likely go the way 10B dollar rusted to the ground in the Ajeuokota steel mill.
U are making noise and wasting ur time.we choose how to spend our money.if u are too bribe to afford one pls shut up and quit crying. It’s all boils down to what we have been telling u-when we speak infrastructure pls I beg u zip ur zoo up. U are a kids play compare to us-at the bottom barrel for lack of a better word
rvp20182: Not only that. It the most ridicolous wastage of money. It cost nearly 1 billion dollars. It carries 400 passenger per day. The guys going to get into plane . It beyond the pale. Nigeria is just full of cattle....led by a school dropout without even primary education.
Compare that to Ethiopia Adis - carries more than 200,000 passengers daily
Meanwhile Lagos that badly need such a rail system - has world worst commute - people sleep in their car for a week and go home in weekend - those that commute have ot leave by 3am/4am - and arrive home past 10pm!!!!!! -
NTSA: Apparently it runs From some place called IDU to the Airport ,Earlier on, I thought it was a commuter rail running all around Abujas neighborhood untill I googled.
That’s first phase.second phase runs within the city.heck even the first phase still cut through the city.
Donshegxy10: She is not helping herself as well, I was telling a lady if half of the people in your organization doesn't like you, then you need to check herself, there are things you are doing wrongly.
She is extremely pretty and seems to be getting all the guys attention without even trying or flirting-while her fellow women have to wear skimpy clothes,rotate their waist,open their breast’s and touch men just to get half the attention Maria gets. That’s the real crux of their envy. Plus she was the wildcard they tried so hard to figure out. That has made them extremely bitter and Maria knew it would get to this hence why she kept saying she hope she maintains the friendships she garnered pre-wildcard.
What is wrong with that pic? Do you think Mombasa can degrade itself to this uncouth slumbolium?
I repeat, don't degrade Mombasa by comparing it with your zoo.
Only defeated zombies will resort to negativity thinking they can now have a say
Yeah go on.This is what I am down for.compare mombasa’s best(cbd) with Villages around Abuja. Later we move to mpape. Let’s see who wins between mpape and mombasa’s cbd-I bet mpape will trumpet easily as ur cbd is a worse slum.
i think imma take a break from this, maybe one day they will get some sense
No don’t .remain here and keep feeding them fact. U going a way from here has been their plan from the onset and u will be subconsciously playing the script they long programmed for u.Do them no Favour by remaining here to taunt their minds morning,afternoon and night.
AfriqueDuZuid: Barcelona is not nice and modern looking
No for real Barcelona is one hell of a beautiful city.it’s may not have all those glassy shinny buildings but the cultural European architecture project it well with her amazing grids style urban planning.
Shma2020: City train, It's not that we don't have them. Second pic is not kenya but the train is the same with that from kenya.
Lol what point are u trying to prove with the non kenyan pics. Are u that ashamed and insecure of ur zoo.
If u had any sense u would know that commuter rail are at the bottom barrel in this 21st century and to make matter worse this commuter trains is a polished metal from 200 years back-lol it’s dated back to ancient spain
AfriqueDuZuid: I tell someone of Pretoria and Johannesburg
He's telling me about nairobi and some town Thika, can you please check on google maps what he means of development from nairobi to that town, a disappointment
Oh that stupid thika town.pls don’t even go there. It’s just a rural cow grazing town with poverty and broken down home(muds and the likes) like ruaka town rongai. A backwater for lack of a better words. I don’t want to sore our site on here if not I would have uprooted YouTube videos to show u what I mean
Shma2020: I already gave you Mombasa pics that crash your Abuja clean sheet. Your task was to retaliate with a favour on the same but you resorted to screaming like a demented kid
Noise. I will ha e to be mad before I ever compare Abuja to Mombasa. Never will I try such nonsense.
Donshegxy10: BOMA Feeling amazing, I wake up a little tired, but now I am feeling better
Situation in the house
Food has been a big problem especially for the guys because we exercise a lot , except when whitemoney is in the kitchen, that why I make whitemoney to be in charge of the kitchen, we are safe whenever he is in the kitchen Bread is now a luxury, we are looking forward to our next shopping, the first week it was a trial and error
BB: drinking water is healthy and highly recommend
About connections
I spoke to Jackie that I like her
Most of the housemates are reserved because their family are watching, niyi make a joke that he is not the only married person in the house, many of them lied that they are single to gain entrance into big brother house I will not hold back if I do connect with someone
I am probably open to anything else that comes with Jackie b outside the house, if she is willing, the friendship is important, we can be friends or more than friends
Coping Physically and mentally
My mental state has been good, I have always been away from family since I am 20, 21
I miss my family and friends, I miss working, I miss social media too
I am happy here, I want to be here as long as I can go, I adapt very well, I am self dependent
I am not missing my phone that much but I am happy
Anything else
Yesterday I had a clash with Maria , I don't know what happened at the table, maria came and throw her plate from behind into the sink and dirty water splashed on me, I was speaking to her and she walked into the house, I was going to let it slide but I approached her and she apologies
I read the rule book and I know that , that is a violent tendency, that is why I said I will complain to big brother
I also told everyone that if I see anyone eat and did not wash the dishes we will have a conversation
I like organisation
I also want to give shout-out to my people at Yaba, Delta state as well, everyone supporting me
Do you think maria intentionally planned to hit you?
I don't think so but I don't think it is called for, anything could have happened, we are adult, you can't do that, I read the rule book
I don't think she is intentional but she could have managed it End of diary session
Dude shot himself in the arse when he admitted to it’s not being intentional. He is wasting his freaking time.she won’t get a single strike since she didn’t do it intentional. The hatred on Maria in that house is vile and deep.is it a crime to be extremely good looking,almost perfect and competitive.
Shma2020: You're confident enough because you know you'll win on this .
On this(trains), mad respect. On general infrastructure, you're yet to sniff kenya progress.
Whatever infrastructure u want Abuja will always trump. It’s unfortunate I can’t n do Mombasa and Abuja cos that is an insult to Abuja-but if u are down for maiduguri and Mombasa or mpape and Mombasa then I am game.
Mkenya2019: Bla de bla of a troll. South Africa will not compare to even worse part say of France or Switzerland or Germany or any of Western Europe.
South Africa need to move from middle class to developed world but it cannot
That’s the nonsense u tell urself to feel better. Whenever I say bring the best of Europe pls don’t go about giving me little scanty town with roads that can even match the quality of those in SA. Give me London,give me Paris ,give me Barcelona or Berlin not little towns with not so good road and mind blowing buildings.
You wanted to compare those rail pillars with ours and there you have the response. It doesn't matter whether it's an sgr, light rail, expressway or lake makoko You said those pillars are the longest eleveted & highest as compared to our expressway, right?
So the height was what got u. Ok now show us ur city rail in world class Mombasa.
