The truth of this whole matter is that GEJ did some significant things but the perceived lootery by officers of the government and allies, the failure of his media team to communicate relevant message to Nigerians and the grievances Nigerians had with PDP made nobody to pay attention to what he did. In fact, the APC put propaganda to good use by downplaying all GEJ's achievement, while team GEJ was more concerned with Buhari certificate leaving more important things.

But like I said, it's all politics and we have to move on.

dabossman:


I fully agree that this is a project of the GEJ administration, and I said that much yesterday on another thread. What I however fail to understand is the "taking glory" part. What should this government do? Abandon the project? Destroy the trains and pull up the rail lines? GEJ's administration has done well by starting the railway transformation, as they did in agriculture. PMB should build on that, not abandon it. If every government since 1960 had improved on what the past administration did, we won't be where we are today. Why this need to ascribe things to ourselves and stamp our names on it?

Mind you, it is our money that was used to achieve these things not Amaechi, GEJ or PMB's money.

Present government should create new ones and not re-commission train of GEJ administration...#period

erico2k2:

They are both true

Adonbilivit, let me gugul it b4 i pass d next comment because that means our transportation minister is not a one-chance but a 'boy'.

The Wonders of Nigerians

ruffbamreal:
Yoruba proverb says "yam should neither be cooked nor fried and should not be eat raw" pls what should we do? If the government abandon the project you will wail, now that they continue with it you also wail. @ Op I believe you are a youth and learned. Why do you reason like an illiterate. Why I like Fayose till today was that when he assumed office in 2003 as the governor of Ekiti State. He first finished all the half done projects he met on ground before embarking on new ones.

Oga I understand u but let me remind you. This project is up and running so how can the APC government abadoned it?in other news amaechi just abadoned the mono rails.if I go near it I shall take a foto that's what abadoned means.

ShowYourCertificate:
Bros, you don't re-commission an already commissioned road. It's bad market.

Also you should know that the APC made a laughing stock of Jonathan's railway program saying it is archaic since its using locomotive engine instead of modern and more efficient engines. So I'm wondering why the APC government is now openly parading themselves on the locomotive train they once criticised. They should have decommissioned the trains and replace them with the modern ones before parading themselves on it.

Tell them my brother, and Amechi use that his mouth to say that, he never rail transport exist. My question now is, did Amechi invoked the rail transport that he commissioned from the Amadioha?

Boyooosa:

Adonbilivit, let me gugul it b4 i pass d next comment because that means our transportation minister is not a one-chance but a 'boy'.

He is more than one chance,he abadoned his own very project to comission an already comisioned project by his past number.

goodluck my foot

Exactly One year ago when I wanted to travel to my village for Christmas and new year festivities, I decided to travel with train. My major aim was to witness Jonathan's Railway Transformation by myself.
As usual, I didn't dissapoint my nairaland admirers and enemies.
I captured some moments within and outside the train which I shared in this thread.

https://www.nairaland.com/2077558/unforgettable-train-experience-pictures

Today, APC government is taking glory for projects they don't know how or when it was done.


Below is pictures of the minister of transport, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi commissioning the same train that took to village last year.

I SMELL SCAM.

am so late to reply you....

If you have ever board train routing Lagos to Kano vice versa you will cry, 1st class is hard to book, sleeper coach is as messed as regular. the last time i wanted to board the train January, i was discouraged by over population and dirtiness of the coaches.

For reason beat know to you guys, you decided to share nice pica of first class only deceiving people with fake transformation of the rain.

kindly post the pics of the regular class for people to see how terrible the rail system is.

This is not about GEJ or PMB its about sincerity

sergiozlatan:


Kudos to the past government for certain projects they embarked on. Kudos to the present government for continuity. We can actually communicate without yabs & e-fighting. That's what I want nairalanders to know but some people are natural hercules. And I never said it was the current administration's achievement

Thank you

De said he's clueless, yet commissioned his train creation grinning from chin to chin... Who de decieve who abeg...
APC do ur own and commission.

sergiozlatan:




Please learn to communicate without throwing tantrums, it'll help you.

1st of all I am not an APC member. I don't follow PARTIES rather I align with PERSONS so note that.

Secondly, any project embarked by the FG is a project for the Nation. Since the past administration (PDP) has handed over the helm of affairs to the current (APC), it means the current (APC) owes Nigerians the sole duty of maintaining FG projects.

Sometimes look out of party lines and be objective. I have my reason for replying you though.

Anyway in case you don't know, the past administration hurriedly commissioned the Ph-Makurdi axis of the railway but it hasn't been functional for a while now.
The Minister for Transport thought it wise to commission the Ph-Aba axis because of its economic importance.

Accessing Aba from Ph by road can be very difficult & stressful cos of the massive traffic at the Oyigbo border, Eleme junction/Oil mill area and also due to the bad roads. Traders will rejoice more for this.

If you aren't satisfied, do well to quote me but please be objective & keep aside insults.

Thank you.

What do you mean "commission ph-aba axis"?! Is it not the same railway?!

Once something is commissioned, that's it. You cannot come and be celebrating shortening the journey.

Thanks in advance.

I know the murderer and the sorcerer will spend their eternity in hell; I just don't know where the HYPOCRITES will spend theirs.

I understand government is a continuum but for a people to now ride the same trains they ridiculed GEJ about IS the highest demonstration of shame- or the lack of it.

And for Amaechi to claim he did not know is the highest of lies..

agabaI23:

These guys are incredible in their lies, and unreal in their hypocrisy.

emmygzy:
you must be an APC robot that is programmed to see nothing that is wrong with APC. Jonathan wanted to remove subsidy, APC protested and condem it, now they want to do what they confirmed. Everything they opposed or condemmed when dey were when dey were in opposition, they're now doing it and wanting Nigerians to accept it. Thunder fire APC and their e-robot like you.

I'm not just an online rant like you, I'm a core PDP man offline (Chapter Exco) and online.
In my state, during the initial days of Akpabio, he was ridiculed as to why he was completing Attah (former gov) projects and commissioning his own, yet he move on, completed the projects and built upon it to create the transformation legacy he is being celebrated today.

If he had stopped the projects, for instance the airport project, because it was not initiated by him, will it be of service to Akwa Ibom people today.
Be objective for once

Where are the zombies............. Come defend your liar amaechi. Is he actually lying again or saying the truth.......... Brainless zombies would come here tomorrow and start saying that Gej did nothing or better still he had stolen money.






News flash........................1$=#270.

sergiozlatan:
Some people actually reason with their anus. No wonder they are called "WAILERS". Governance is all about continuity. If the current government abandons those trains, people will wail, now the Honourable Minister decided to continue with what the past administration left, yet people are still wailing.

What have you people achieved by wailing? If past administrations had continued from what they met on ground & reduced their rate of stealing, we wouldn't have been in this mess.

just some people are too emotionally attached to JONATHAN. The point is that JONATHAN DID NOT CONSTRUCT THAT RAIL LINE, IT WAS BUILT BY PAST ADMINISTRATION. APC could not have claimed they built it either cos they cant achieve anything because of the poor economic mess we are now. Jonathan has good intentions...at the same time his government is marred by mismanagement and corruption.

erico2k2:

Bro, what we r joking with here is highly dangerous, this is SHAME of the year..... I gugul and read the two stories, mehn, i even downloaded Nigeria Map to be sure of the distance and location, my findings revealed that the Jonathan's Flag-off covers PH-Enugu which covers and is farther than the Aba-PH flag-off claimed by Amaechi. Is this a Christmas joke or December (oobi) Mockery, I dont understand. The most Clowny aspect of it, is that the MD of the Corporation as at Jonathan's era was still the same MD that received Amaechi in the current Flag-off. Read the excerpts and you will be 'more' amazed:

"Jonathan Commissions Enugu-Port Harcourt Train Service"
Also speaking at the occasion, Managing Director of the Nigeria Railway Corporation, Adeseyi Sijuwade, noted that the rehabilitation of the Eastern line has been much more challenging in view of the extent of its dilapidation.
http://allafrica.com/stories/201412240228.html

"Amaechi flags off Port Harcourt Aba rail connection"
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Railway Corporation ,Engr. Adeseyi Sijuwade, said that the Aba – Port Harcourt Mass Transit Service was set up to facilitate business transactions between the Araria International Market in Aba and the Oil Mills , Mile 1 and Diobu markets in Port Harcourt.
He also said that the Mass Transit Train Service will reduce congestion on the Aba- Port Harcourt Express road.
http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2015/12/amaechi-flags-off-port-harcourt-aba-rail-connection/

What a world, I thought the APC said that the railway transformation of Goodluck was not real. Amaechi has now acknowledge the good work and legacies if GEJ

for all the people asking why he commission the rail track what do you expect him to do, or did he say he was the one that constructed the rail.. pls let's look at the bright side and stop applying sentiment in our reasoning...

The politicians have finally locked up the brains of jobless youths in this country. It will only take the grace of God for any form of liberation.

This Dakwambo locomotive engine is what PDP called legacy of President GEJ ? It is a bad legacy indeed..why didn't he bring us modern locomotive engine instead of obsolete machines ?
