I never said its a child's play, what I ask for is the picture of the north presently...If it has the support of the north like u said, don't u think the presidency wud have fished those involve out.. When the chibok Girls were kidnap, they all accused the state Governor in all conspiracy talk and now he has been cleared....Let's leave the north agenda or born to rule talk, let's just face the question I asked

what is happening in the northern nigeria didnt start today,and am very sure gej is not the first to rule nigeria,nigeria have been rule by the so called northerners where are their achievement poor them........bad belle pple

kingofpool:
Are you sure that your brain is okay? How can you ask somebody not to deviate while you are doing so? The op is talking about train and you are talking about north, can you pls base your argument on rail alone pls

My brain is okay ooo, just that any posting regarding the good things he has done at this stage is politically motivated..since we are in that trend, we shud post the good and the bad together so we can compare and contrast..GEJ has done well on the railway sector than he met it. Fact!

At least the rail road is working despite we are decades back compared to sensible countries.

Yet, kudos to the government.

Obasanjo could not bring back the trains in eight years despite that he spent a lot of money on rail sector.

Reference:


So, because some decide to go political you jump into the mudpit with them. Please raise your game.

I will try and do that

Have u really traveled on this 'train'?

It's very easy to criticise without cross checking the Facts, it's even easier to criticise blindly because in a blind state the individual is in a state of darkness and oblivious of what is happening in the surrounding !
Until we understand the past appreciating the future and the present might be difficult!

It was Nicholas Sparks who said
That "You're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words, that matter"

I leave you with sights and visuals of the how President Jonathan Met our Rail way system and it's current state as at this morning!

Happy viewing Happy weekend

God Bless Nigeria

GEJ is a joke if you don't know. This is what a country with so much oil money can come up with. Why do some set of nigerians love [size=18pt]MEDIOCRITY[/size]. compare that scrab to this in South Africa, nonsense

Did South Africa achieve this feat in four years?
It was there before Mandela, Thabo Mbeki and Zuma presidency. Get your facts right.

Substandard and mediocre. They use billions of dollars in construction but see what they come up with. Ediots!

Now ochejoseph compare those your "death trap" rails

If truly they are the one making the country ungovernable, they shud be arrested straight up....How can we allow such people contest for the presidency?..As u can see they are walking freely, which cud mean they know nothing about the accusation or its just fabricated just to paint them black

And what did your past leaders do concerning the rail ways? If they had done something, Gej might be renovating it. Do you think it took south africa 6yrs to build that

Don't you have an elder in your house?

Excellent response

Yor bigoted mind won't let you know that Nigeria did not discover oil today.

These are all lies. The contract for the railway construction has been awarded far back in Obj's regime to the china construction company ceccc or something like that. They are just being completed now. GEJ has nothing to do with them because the funding of the contract was to come from china. If you can prove otherwise show anywhere it was said that Jonah awarded contract to repair and construct railway lines.

Don't mind her

If this responsibility was shared in such a way that States LGAs and private sector participated, we wont be in this level

Sincere9gerian:

So what was happening to the so much oil money when the railway was completely broken down and dysfunctional?

By the way, what is your definition of PROGRESS? Progress is when you move From a state of dysfuctionality to the point of functionality. That is progress and that is what GEJ is doing in the railway sector.

The enemies of progress can go and die

Ask Obasanjo, Anenih, PDP Yesterday and Today.

They messed up the Country to what it is Today.

We are seriously praying for Devine intervention from Allah for good Leadership.

When we allow you and your cohort the PDP to continue with your cluelessness and stealing is not corruption syndrome then we are heading for an earthquake politically.

God forbid that will not happen.

Change things in my mind

As for the rail system it's funny if we call this development or transformation when even countries that Nigeria is stronger than are using light rail system .

Yes it did not start today but it was no this bad back then...Good belle people

manny4life:


As much as GEJ has flaws, your reasoning is

1. Nigeria's oil wealth is split between the FG, 36 states and 730+ local governments. It's unfair to acclaim Nigeria's oil wealth to one unit - the FG - rather than ALL entities.

2. What Nigeria or the FG receives is what partially finances the budget (obviously excluding the excesses of NNPC). We can see the effect of falling oil prices right now, is it on this meager budget that you want Nigeria to build a system worth several billions of $$$?

3. Thus, it's not feasible for Nigeria to build HSR like you pointed out in the pic. Research shows that such systems are heavily expensive, in fact, most cities and municipalities are heavily indebted when such projects are undertaken. The folks in those cities are paying the high price of HSR, if implemented in Nigeria, will you pay the price? As long as a decent rail system is present and can move you from one city to the other, let's cut our coat according to our size.

4. Stop the comparison between Nigeria and SA because they are on different levels and I mean in terms of obstacles to development. I believe that the rail structure isn't the best BUT it's a notch up from the decayed old system we know about. Is there room for improvement? Yes, but let's be realistic in our demand and approach to our demand.

Bottom line: Nigeria made money from oil, but the money was split anyway making it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to build such railway infrastructures. Furthermore, the "Nigerian Railway Act pose a serious impediment to its success, and as a result, the burden of improvement largely depends on the FG. I am sure that if railway was privatized BUT price regulated, HSR will come at its time.

Guy, two thombs up for this comments of urs... some people are so daft and unreasonable that nothing sensible comes from them. they just want to talk n just end up blabbing with no sense.. Pls some people are not meant to be posting anything here.... thank u, for ur reasonable, thoughtful, sensible contribution here. too much. Pls educate us more

Even the blind know GEJ is working.
GEJ Till Buhari bring back our N2.8 billion naira.

Is railway Nigeria main problem?. Does he promised anything about railway?. Except you are not a student of logic and history of science. This is called begging the question. What happen to power, for 16 good year Jona and his PDP government cannot pull up Electrical power. Also corruption is everywhere no one is jailed. Ethehgate, Faroukgate, subsidygate, Oduahgate. Nobody was ever punished. Common criminal like Alamasea and Abacha sons are receiving state pardon.

This is era of change. Jona and his PDP led government should make sure they repair the prison system. Non of them will escape jail. Come 29th of May 2015. Sai Buhari CHANGE is here

And do you want to compare S.A political stability with Nigeria?
The continuity atmosphere there can't bé compared to ours in Nigeria.
Have they ever experience Military Coup there that do kick against de€ocratic progress?
Do they have the Parasitic Tribe (that delibrately kill Railway operations because of Trailer Transport system that is expecially spoiling our roads and causing accident in the South) like we do here in Nigeria?
Do you think if they(the Abokis) do not boycott the Railway Transport system back in the yearsduring there Military Reign, Nigeria would not have have been using Metro Rails by now?
There is no unity in Nigeria.
Other tribes expecially in the South are working towards progression but up there in the North na Retrogression. Check the HIDDEN HISTORICAL FACTS you will know more.

Bros or sis, this is not a party thing, be it apc,pdp, ac, anpp.... it's about individual charisma, and personality. If u call APC, is it about the name APC or the persons, or is it all the persons in the party that is good? Never, not even in pdp, or ac or whichever party... so beat it.

i wonder. buhari followers are yet to show us tangible achievements of buhari.

Buhari get Achievement?...Tinubu is a very clever criminal and his plan is to get to the Federal treasury using Pa Buhari the 18th century leader 12 Million fantasy votes from the North

Well he tried,but there are still more pressing issues to tackle.
