Na Lagos-Ibadan rail we go dey for 8 years, I wonder when the "transatlantic" rail line they are propising will be built.

Oga calm down...slow and steady wins the race...if PDP has done anything meaningful in the last sixteen years,we would have achieved your so called"TRANSATLANTIC" rail line.

Wailers and haters take it or leave it, Buhari government remains the greatest and largest infrastructural development government in Nigeria. Recall former Nigeria military head of state Yakubu Gowon . " Money is not our problem, but how to spend it and that was due to lack of future development site. Ameachi , thank you very much you still remain No1 ministerial appointee.

They should have made it compulsory in the agreement that those locomotives be assembled here in Nigeria, this will definately create jobs, boost local industry that fabricates steel , and also ensure we have a ready service centre that can repair any fault that may occur both on short term and long term and we won't have to be running to China at every issue

Very sensible comment.....I agreed �%

Nnamdi99:
When will the Nigerian Government start thinking of upgrading to electronic rail, this type is no longer in vogue....... Nigeria governmental structure needs a total rejig bcoz this government at present have shown it lacks the necessary innovational ideas to take us to the promise land... WE NEED CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE LEADERS.

Electronic what? Una get light?

When peter obi reference China now you will cry, see your life

Excuses.

The countries you all talk about made it by dint of hardwork and creativity from the private sector.

All this talk about government has to stop.
Produce rice. If the people complain about stones then you destone it. That is the improvement.

Produce clothes that can compete.

Produce fragrances.

Produce lotions and soaps.

All the raw materials are at your fingertips.

All this whinging would take nobody anywhere.

Accept your past lack of creativity and forge ahead with a different mindset.

Well said@commentor.

These lines of yours will not make any iota of sense to people with usual and popular nauseating sense of entitlement.

Sometimes, I wonder if Blaming and complaining is some peoples' birthright. They talk as if they were born to be served by humans like them. They are quick to make reference while their life has nothing worth mentioning except greed and selfishness.

Until we start referencing mentality behind growth and not growth itself - between two entities, a fowl will remain a fowl and an eagle will continue to soar... There is nothing any god can do about it.

My failure is my invention.
Same applies to everyone.

Check yourself.

My brother its unfortunate this is where we find ourselves. We know we can do better but for now,this is the best we can do. Electric trains when we dont have light in our houses to even charge phones. Abeg let's not put the lives of our citizens at risk biko

You just nailed it

ionate1:
See modern trains

You do know all those trains you posted go at thesame speed with the one China built for us

In fact none of the trains you posted can go long distances, they are all for rapid rail transport

I feel you judgement is based on looks not efficiency

Ikem11:
Why can't u guys order a design like this? Must u always go for this old catapillar trains design that was used for world War 11

I think we have not attained the level for using such, both in of technology, affordability, etc. I believe such a train will cost us more in buying, maintenance and what have you, and you cannot charge high fares needed for operating this. We love good things but believe me, they don't come cheap. The standard of living in countries you see these is well higher than a poverty stricken country like ours. We just have to accept that, some things are not feasible for us for now. We have too much unnecessary current expenditures leading to limited resources for capital expenditures. Base on the current situation of things, this is just the best, in anticipation of improvement.

What they will not use in their country

NwaNimo1:
Tokumbo trains.....

Tokumbo govt. ....

Buharism!

Can any good words come out of ipob piglet mouths?

Dead brain

sharrap and stop being clever by half bleeping ignorant mediocre...

Aren't we already producing electricity,security,water,health services,jobs and even roads for ourselves?

The aforementioned in government it was taught to be a fundamental obligation but yet we provide for ourselves...

Stop talking shittttt,this is a repressive system that must stop,its demeaning to harbor this type of life in 21st century..

Read your books,listen genuine radio stations,surf the right web pages,travel out if you can afford it and come back to review your life..

What do they know?

Bunch of ignoramus, from the president to his cabinet .

To you.

The trains in your picture don't do thesame work with the one we ordered

Na Lagos-Ibadan rail we go dey for 8 years, I wonder when the "transatlantic" rail line they are propising will be built.

what is that....??

do you mean building a railway over the atlantic ocean....??

MUMU minister

What about Enugu-Port Harcourt rail line?

Now that Buhari and APC government is fully focused on favoring Yorubas & Hausa-Fuanis alone while neglecting the great tribes of Igbo and Niger Delta + Middle-Belt, I am sure Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba APCs are very excited and fulfilled!


No wonder they said we have 3 types of Yorubas in Nigeria:

1.) Yoruba Christians - very intelligent, classy and highly reasonable Yorubas, examples are: Papa Oyedepo, Daddy Adeboye, Adeyemi, Adefarasin, Osinbajo, Adesina, etc, etc

2.) Yoruba Muslims - very unstable, unreliable, unpredictable, biase, identity-less, confused, diabolical, tribalistic & hatred filled!

3.) Yoruba APC - very cunning, deceptive, unreasonable, hypocritical, diabolical, dangerous, Igbophobic, Buharidic, toxic, lack ideology & focus

In 84years bro, after we die N not use it... Lol

kolaaderin:
The is the best minister of transportation since 1999. We keep regretting 16 years of PDP. We will never forget.

You are forgetting he was part and parcel of the 16 year reign of PDP!
8 years as Speaker and 8 yrs as Governor of rivers state!

sofiscatedmoron:

afonja always want to attache by force to igbo people
dont force your failure down our throats

We Igbo's have denounced tribalism. We love all tribes. Recently, the Governor of Lagos State made one of the most respected Igbo man a Special adviser on Gutter and drainage. We dedicate our loyalty to the North first, then the Yoruba's.

Igbo's Amaka.

Sukueponmalu:

Ipobs are so dumb Mehn!
I typed “moral right” . And here’s this ipobian mentioning “constitutional right”
How are they fucking the same?

You are very dumb and stupid for associating me to such people.

Malcolm123:



all trains can be refer to as locomotive ....na the head of a train or engine is the real locomotive
so we have
Steam locomotive
diesel locomotive
electric locomotive
CNG locomotive
diesel- electric locomotive

If you say so, but i didn't know electric train was refer to as locomotive.
Wen we hear locomotive we assume is the olden days train.

An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines , a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor .
Electric locomotives with on-board fueled prime movers , such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine-electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system.
Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90%

Refurbished locomotives.

Oga shut up jor, so its our job to provide good road, stable electricity, security and every other basic infrastructure?


In developed countries the govt provide light, water, security, gas, anything you need to start a business. Name one thing the Nigeria govt has successfully provide for us.
