simpleseyi: They signed these contracts, you slowpoke. Amaechi confirmed that to the committee investigating the nonsense contracts last week. Plus, I could give a crap -- from Azikwe to the lastest clown. |

Biodun556: The US trains are old models too. The US is looking to upgrade -- hyperloop and such. The Europeans are moving away from these nonsense, even China -- the salesperson. So to summarize, because the US does it does not mean it's latest/best. Wake up! |

COMPAQ: These whole focus on interstate trains do not make sense either. We need to move goods not humans. Humans in African barely move between states. Even in developed countries these trains run at huge losses. Google Amtrak losses! So look at the mirror regarding your first statement and economic sense -- as for new I meant model. 1 Like |

post=93194139: Illiterate per usual on Nairaland, or should I say Nigerian youth? Those lazy people signed this contract and the Chinese have been at work since then. Amaechi admitted it was 80% complete when they arrived. He said that to the committee investigating last week. Illiterates like you only deserve illiterate leaders. Your gross ignorance contributes to why the country is a clown show. |

OriOko88: The below is a picture I took at the airport last year at Manchester airport but no train in the background, shall go through my archive tomorrow when I reach office and find you a picture with their diesel powered train in it. There's no need to insult you I already know where your type ends up. I'm only sending it for the benefit of others that are human beings. I'm waiting for who will deny that is Manchester airport

foreshore: And how many nigerians are abroad? Maybe 5mln, but we have 200mln here. Besides those abroad receive better pay than those here, so they can afford it. Still doesn't mean it isn't expensive for them there too. |
Re: 11 Units Of Locomotives Meant For Nigeria Departs China (Pictures) by COMPAQ(m): 9:23pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
Alex9999: I totally agree with you. Passenger rail has hardly been profitable anywhere in the world by itself if freight isn't factored onto it. |
Re: 11 Units Of Locomotives Meant For Nigeria Departs China (Pictures) by COMPAQ(m): 9:38pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
Alex9999: Hyperloop is still largely experimental and may not become widely used for the next 10+ years. Not every country in Europe has bullet trains and even for those that do, not every route is bullet train. America does not have a single bullet train. The reality is that we are just not economically viable for reall high speed trains like we see above. If the new rails we are building can achieve 120 to 150km/hr and is operationally efficient and helps move freight much more efficiently and turns a profit, it would be a success story that we can build on. China of 1970 could not afford it. They can only afford it now due to economic might. Same way Nigeria of today cannot afford it. |
Re: 11 Units Of Locomotives Meant For Nigeria Departs China (Pictures) by Alex9999: 10:18pm On Aug 25, 2020 |
COMPAQ: I agree with you on affordability, but it's bullet train or nothing for me. At least prepare the gauges for that. If we have money in the future and decide to have bullet and such, we'd have to spend more to convert the current old style. In addition, the old trains (before this) could move freight, no? Did they move enough? Will these move enough with these? We are largely on the same page we just disagree on the usefulness of the whole rail project. |

sunkee: That is how you deal with Nigerians because they don't believe anything even when you present them with evidence. Just like you saying "well may your dream come to reality" because you never imagined a Nigerian working as a railcar maintenance engineer as it sounds too good to be true.
