Metro line for city and intra-city mass movement and train for inter-cities mass movement are extremely important in our daily life. Any salary earner that is using car for his daily movement is only crippling himself economically on the long run because his daily movement based on wheeled vehicle is not cost effective. Car manufacturing Europeans reserve their cars for summer and holiday touring and for going home from the pub after the closure of mass transit in the midnight.

Only Nigerian looters can afford to use car in a luxurious manner, under-utilize a five seater car through out the year without feeling the consequence. The elite from the Arab emirate of the northern Nigeria can afford it because his means of livelihood is assuredly sourced from the south, and a motor car is a status symbol that distance him from the talakawas and the al majiris foot soldiers. That is why successive northern presidents and their southern stooges always avoid development of train system. Conversely, a southern so-believed educated robotic minds also accepts that car-ownership is a NECESSITY. Fine for a self-serving and unrewarding dubious argument because necessity is the mother of invention, therefore let the salary earners invent their cars, why must one use a car to take a child to school, to carry water when you are not a looter who used the car to protect his child from the prying eyes of the poor. Let everyone and every hand be on deck to clamour for metro line and East-west train development, it is the railway system that opens up community, provinces, regions and country any where in the world. In the US, the east west train link system is celebrated is celebrated by primary and secondary school system in their educational curriculum, Egypt and South Africa, the most advanced economy in Africa owes their accelerated development to railway system. In fact, Nigerian car owners and the masses should be crying the moment a new road system is constructed because it can not be sustained due to incessant tropical downpour that will reduce the efficiency of that road network the moment it is completed. Repeated road construction is one of the means of siphoning and diverting funds because any idiot can be awarded road contract hence, in other words, it is a tried and tested avenue of 'job for the boys' and 'chop, i chop'. Who gains from car ownership? Oyinbo people, Ibo spare part sellers and Hausa trailer owners.

At one time, the chairman of Nigeria Railway Corporation; ex-Sultan of Sokoto, Ibrahim Dasuki owned more than one thousand road plying trailers. He made sure he actively discouraged the development of the railway systems so that the trailer business will flourish, and the trailer system is the main tools by which non-Nigerians are massively transported from Islamic Africa to Nigeria. The Jihadist warrior, Muhammadu Buhari also actively contributed to the non-development of train system in Nigeria by ANNULLING the metro line that the Yorubas (Jakande/Awolowo) conceived for Lagos State, he claimed it is not viable. Generals Muritala Mohammed, Ibrahim Babaginda, Muhammadu Buhari and civilian president Shehu Shagari all conveniently left out a Lagos-Abuja railed system, another form of Boko-haraming the south. General Jerry 'jerry boy' Hussein, the middle belt administrator of Federal Capital Territory during Abacha's regime admonished Lagosians and southerners that they should never dream of any metro line for the teeming masses of Lagos if Abuja has not yet got its own. The East-west train is very important in linking Calabar to Seme to Cotonou, etc but it is strange that car owners from that axis are always requesting for East-west road because they want to be proud car owners. Nigerian Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) claimed that majority of accident victims on Nigerians roads are Igbos and Yorubas in that order, because they are the ones who are always traveling. No Igbo or Yoruba lawmakers have taken up this statistics to demand for extensive East-west railway development because they are satisfied with their N400M per annum monetary entitlements.

In conclusion, no southern presidents like Obasanjo and Jonathan dare upset the present railway policies by the northern elites who constitutes 60% of the Nigerian lawmakers, military or civilians. Boko-haram without gun!
