That Pastor is right to be upset. This is not impressive at all. This was my experience in 1992 as an undergraduate from Ilorin to Lagos. The journey was enjoyable till we got to Ibadan. Abeg it’s a long story. Unless it’s a quick fix, if so resources must be channelled to the east and put something modern in that region.
Shameful comments from the shameless man at the start of the video. The Southeast doesn't contribute ANYTHING to Nigeria. Don't confuse the South-South with the Southeast. Secondly, the state government should key in like Lagos did. The Blue and Red Lines are state facilities. Igbbos are negative complainers.
That pastor is a usual Igbo man. Always crying foul and making noise without providing evidence. It is annoying somehow. That is how they lie about this country to others around the world. Always blaming others for their failures. The former minister of transportation comes from Rivers(which is not even East by the way) and couldn't do anything on the monorail he starts in Rivers when he is the governor there. It is a shame!
I think this vlogger should have edited that rant out of this video!! The victimisation mentality of the Nzobu Zobus needs to be exorcised!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
Yes, we are negative complainers , and so are any other group that under deliberate oppression . Beating people down is bad enough but tell them not to complain is just downright diabolical . For the record , the lagos blue and red line is intrastate while this one in interstate so it is the sole responsibility of federal government .
I will like the exprience and I love their excitement. Papa has his right too to speak. Let's start somewhere sha. I wish there was an Enugu to Aba or Umuahia, I will love to experience it.
In fact these three states(Delta, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers) are suppose to be the most beautiful states in Nigeria. On a state-by-state basis, Delta state received the largest allocation, followed by Akwa Ibom and River states. I think you need to hold your governors accountable, we can all see that Lagos is not depend on federal government.
@@Nengit You may think I'm biased, but I always stick to the truth. Yes, I blame the federal government for providing this kind of train, but your governors still need to be questioned. For your information, I am neither from Lagos nor Abuja.

I am not impressed with people spreading ignorance.
@@emperor1681 You are Sticking with ignorance and spreading it on a public Plattform. Nobody cares about your tribal affiliation or the lack of it. It is spreading false Information. The NRC means National Railway Corporation and you are spinning to talk of governors. Have some decorum in public please.
The distance from Lagos to Ibadan is very further away than from Aba to Port Harcourt. Moreover, that line operates the modern trains and not what you have from Aba to Port Harcourt. In some countries, all ticket holders would have their money refunded, and transit buses to immediately dispatched to help move the passengers depending on their destinations. It is left on the Eastern Governors to lodge a serious protest and demand. Their region is supposed to be treated like other parts of the country.
They never protest anything. Their representatives are fighting for living quarters in Abuja and foreign built SUVs instead and their governors are dressed in clown costumes attending southern governors forum, an executive committee for Igbo exclusion. They are useless.
I came from a Railway family ,my Dad worked in Nigerian Railways ,i was using train from 80s and I remember how effective the railways were back in the days .what a shame to this nation .
Can they have a look at the coach in New York? I don’t see anything wrong with the coach you’re in, certainly not. By the way, that train is inter city and not intra city. Most inter city trains are quite lower class even at Abuja abd Lagos.
I think that NRC should be called out to do the needful on this route. Also the both governors should be made aware, and the minister of transportation should be called out.
@triedstone since you want to open your evil mouth, I am IJAW we certain contribute more than our quota and THIS IS DISGRACEFUL. Not just to us in the region, but to you as a Nigerian. If you had any sense of you decency and standard, you would recognize it as well. The truth is the train/station/system in Abuja is world-class, as are the others elsewhere and this train in PH is terrible, the grounds are the colonial buildings! This does not have to be about regions, all parts of Nigeria deserve better and for sure the regions producing our primary export.

@@Tiswel-n8i Somebody try what? did you see the Abuja-Kaduna train project done by Amaechi? my dear Amaechi did nothing in the south-south region where he come from. neither did he do anything for the south-east. Amaechi failed his people 100%
@@brightgeorge5222 It wasn't Amaechi fault. Blame Buhari. When the narrow gauge was announced to be constructed in SS to SE, he was angry.

Lagos Abuja are being rapidly developed everyday. The south east is underdeveloped when it comes to the 21st century and contribute to a high number of resources, se brings in the most import from the Lagos seaport. It is a shame and can no longer be okay. We also need federal development just like the new Abuja metro in Abuja go roads proper housing development. There south eastern governments need to be held accountable. The heartland Imo governer is doing absolutely nothing for the people and the culture. IMO state is the centre of se. It is shameful that they refuse to even mention south east when it comes to development. When are we going to hold our governors accountable?
@@bryanmartin4843. Loud and wrong. No there is no working seaport in the east not sure where u got your information from. Lagos is the seaport and the busiest seaport because that that exactly reason. If not for the discrimination Lagos seaport would be nothing compared to a functional seaport in the south east. As for Lagos and Abuja both states have federal allocations from other states. So shut up if you don’t know what u r talking about. Which seaport in the east? Seaport that Igbos have been protesting for?? Fool close your mouth. Don’t speak for Igbos.
But why are we Nigerians like this, I remembered during the inauguration, the Minister said they are expecting new coaches and engines. He actually Said it to press
Supposed the new coaches and engines are not ready yet? Do you forget that they are not cash and carry, it's by ordering and produce which will take time to complete.
Yes they are the laziest indeed. And what are you the non-complainer? Arguably the poorest having to resort to food riots and hijack of food palliative trucks to put gbegri soup on your table.
@isiejeme0829 it cannot be upgraded. The line is a "narrow gauge" line for exactly this type of old coaches, the train "terminals" are also not at par with others in other parts of the country. The other parts of the country use "Standard Gauge" lines. Standard Gauge lines are for more modern trains.
@@enetamuno5953 Not accurate. Whether standard or narrow, both have their uses. There are still narrow guage rail lines in the western world. It's best suited for freight and cargo plus hilly areas. However, the bigger plan is to upgrade this but finance (loans) was the challenge. Considering the rail lines were not working at all for a while, upgrading and repairing the current narrow guage is a start. Let's continue to push for better stations, newer routes and affordable fees.
@@osayiodigieh Yes and no. While the railway system in the "western world" has its own politics, the general trend is towards standard gauge because of the debut of high speed trains. Nobody sets out now to build narrow gauge railway lines although in places like Japan and Italy some are still in use for various reasons. In Nigeria, the politics is unmistakeably malicious, pointedly hatred-driven and toxic. If funding is the issue, then why was some of the foreign loans obtained in Nigeria's name used to build standard gauge railway to Niger Republic instead of eastern Nigeria? Of course those doing it and their agents would dare the targeted group to do their worst like all blacks do when they are in power, but no matter how you try to rationalise the disaster, this can only exacerbate the existing alienation among a section of the population.
@@RadioTV595 See, how infrastructure is funded especially by foreign countries has nothing to do with tribal sentiments. Donors will favor the most economically viable routes to fund first because that guarantees a quicker return so loans can be repaid. On numerous occasions, the then transport minister came on air to explain these things to Nigerians, but in our usual way we must blame tribal sentiments. I vividly recall when the minister complained about antics of local politicians and people to frustrate rail construction in their region, He personally stated that he'd prefer building in the South West than the South South where he comes from. So you see, we also contribute to these problems and we should also look inward and ask ourselves what we really want. On the topic of narrow guage, I stated very clearly that Standard guage is the ultimate plan for the eastern rail corridor but pending when funding can be secured they simply re-laid the narrow guage tracks to keep the corridor working. Considering where they were before, this is not as bad as we make it seem. We only need to push for better, just as I said.
@@osayiodigieh Bro, Good points. However, you are wrong about foreign countries and "tribal sentiments". Foreign "donors" are guided by the wishes of the states they invest in and the determination of "most economically viable routes" depends on who is in power and what their bias is, but is definitely not value-neutral. How are the Warri-Itakpe- Abuja or Lagos to Niger republic lines more economically viable the Port Harcourt-Aba- Enugu etc. lines if not for toxic tribal politics? How viabiale is Ibadan =Abeokuta route compared to the Aba-Port Harcourt one? Have you not seen passengers hanging precariously on Aba-PH trains due to lack of space or is there another secret test of route viability in use? Besides, repayment of of loans is not done with fares collected from passengers on these routes but from oil rent collected in eastern Nigeria. So in a fragile multi-ethnic state like Nigeria "tribal sentiments" will need to be part of any economic evaluation of any application for foreign loans and its repayment. Right now, many people would struggle to understand why the eastern railway lines which were economically viable even in colonial times have suddenly and inexplicably lost viability under black rule if not because of malicious and toxic tribal politics. The re-laying of narrow gauge lines in the eastern railway corridor is still unjustifiable no matter how you attempt to rationalise it. Again since funding is the issue, how is it acceptable to use foreign loans obtained in the name of Nigeria to build modern standard gauge railway lines in Niger republic (which even recently closed its borders with Nigeria anyway without stoking local anger? If this blatant discrimination happened elsewhere, you all will of be waxing lyrical about racism, prejudice, bigotry etc, but as it is perpetrated by blacks on blacks in Nigeria, everyone is ok with it. * The minister lied about being frustrated from constructing railway in his region. He should admit that he was played for a fool using the promise of becoming the successor to Buhari as a bait. Do you also remember when he was dressed up in Fulani turban and publicly paraded as the new anointed saviour of Nigeria?

This is not funny at all as a Nigerian living in Lagos Nigeria. How can a train breakdown on motion and the. VIP ticket price self funny oo.. Just wondering how regular place will looks like.. No wonder he said the train looks like Ghana own.
The VIP coach is not all bad but I beg needs to be converted to cargo train... The trains we have here don't have enough chairs so I will say an ok start but hopefully upgraded asap
I'm sure you didn't cry for joy, because I used that train as far back as 2014. And there's nothing to write home about that crap. They're building faster trains for other regions while they build slow locomotive trains with crappie stations for the south-east and south-south. Thunder will fire Amaechi, Buhari and even Tinubu. Ndị aparị atọ.
The trains in Lagos was built by Lagos state government not tinubu including the current one been built by Ondo state government and Osun state government so blame your governors and ministers and senator
South East will be the first to have high speed trains in Nigeria mark my words. Now that we are focusing more on ourselves trust Igbo man to always outdo himself
President Tinubu last week paid in full the FG counterpart funding for PH-Maiduguri Standard Guage the construction of which will begin any time from now. Blame Amechi for what you see right now. By the way, this present narrow guage train was fixed pending. I believe it will be used for freight eventually hence no need to buy new train until Standard guage is complete. Positive information is never communicated. It seems only negativity motivates people there, i don't mean to insult. You want every reality to confirm your bias that Igbos are hated so when there is news to the contrary you tend to ignore.
@Thorpe841 "...paid in full the FG counterpart funding for PH-Maiduguri Standard Gauge..." Lies from the pit of hell, probably. Did they pay for standard gauge or still the antiquated narrow gauge? Nigerians have poorly developed sense of justice. They don't care as long as the narrow gauge is built elsewhere but they will cry blue murder when central bank and maritime ministry is sited in Abuja.
@@9icegirl555 Yes there is a report like that - i.e. that FG had paid their share of funding bla bla bla. But it does not address the issue of why they are building narrow gauge railway in eastern nigeria and standard gauge railway in the west and not and even up to Niger republic. Their own senate had in November asked them to upgrade the line to standard gauge but there would not. Ibos should now petition world bodies and give this discrimination global publicity.
Just see how relaxed the beautiful ladies are experiencing such nonsense in the name of train, sorry, molue ride. I had bet that if this were to happen in the north or western Nigeria the passengers would hold the train officials hostage until explanations are given as to why such poor services. The way we make our bed as Igbos is the way he must lie on it. If our people decide to accept anything then anything will be our lot. Kudos to the old man for being the exception.
True talk. This is how even Aba itself was taken over and destroyed by Ibo crooks and even the major roads collapsed. Still, nobody could say or do anything about it. I dont know what happened to Ibos of today- students, youths, clergymen, women organizations, traditional rulers, politicians, everybody is the same-do nothing!
Bollocks. How is Ghana lagging behind? Why are you folks always boasting? Ghanaians would rather provide decent train services equitably to all its regions. Unlike badly run Nigeria that will use foreign loans to build standard gauge in one region and even another country Niger republic while leaving another region with narrow gauge and old trains thereby creating social, ethnic and regional discord.

In every situation, always thank God. The journey was successful despite the time delayed. Don't compare road transportation to rail transportation because safety is the number one priority
Somebody collected money for new coaches but went and got abandoned coaches from China. Notice the seat must have been so filthy they asked mama Iyabo to sow those green rags they put on the seats. I wish people can see what the actual seats look like. No accountability. This is the outcome when you have criminals in government. Congrats Nigerians!

Bro, So what happened to Igbo representatives in government? Have they seen the charade or not? If they have seen it, what are they doing about it? Why are Igbo students, youth organisations, clergy, civil society organizations etc. keeping quiet about what amounts to gross abuse of Igbo rights? Why should Igbos be expected to participate in repaying foreign loans which they have not benefitted from?
Yes, new coach delivered to run on an antiquated narrow gauge line. Meanwhile Ibos are being taxed to repay foreign loans used to construct modern standard gauge line to Niger Republic. Charming!
Oga get better information b4 making this video. This is not new train this is the old narrow gauge that runs from port harcourt to meduguri like wise lagos kano old narrow guage the government just reactivate them while constructing new standards guage lagos to kano in which they have done lagos ibadan section and abuja kaduna section they also have warri itapke standard guage which is originaly built to carry steel between delta steel cplant warri and ajakuta steel plant in kogi state becos the steel plant is no longer working the turn that line to passengers line.
The locomotive engines that operate in the Western and Northern Nigeria are very modern, and not easy to breakdown. Secondly, Port Harcourt is not far from where the train is now. In a real operating system, spear engines are supposed to be at the Port Harcourt "locomotive shop or shed as it was called before the Civil War", where an engine could be dispatched ASAP to travel to and tow the disabled engine and its passengers to its destination. What happens if the unarmed passengers are attacked by armed robbers? Also, before the train engine got disabled, the train driver must have radioed the Port Harcourt that they are having problems with the engine and wait for advice from the Chief Engineer in the shop. This Dr. Darlington Egbu from the USA.
Eastern Nigeria was once the epicentre of railway engineering in Nigeria/West Africa and the area had a pool of skilled railway workforce -engineers etc. You can see still see some of this in the old communications equipment in Enugu etc. which also managed to have an underground/subway. All those skills are now lost and our people are into keke, okada etc. when thy are not trading on the streets. A revamped eastern railway can employ loads of people in different roles and take the pressure off the roads. But who will bell the cat?
A lack of investigation and rush to conclusion resulting in misinformation. There r new locomotives still to be delivered the Aba PH route was activated to assist with the impact of oil subsidy removal. Go to NRC to see the full plans for railways where developments stand, there is also a west east rail line in the pipeline funding still being sorted out. There is a Kano Lagos line in operation which is even worst than this but again the new line is still under construction
U well so? We are talking about what is available already and u Re telling us about what is on the pipeline. Why are the other zones not left on the pipeline
The mono rail was Amechi’s signature project, but he didn’t complete it before his tenure ended, but because Amechi and Wike had a falling out when Amechi ported from PDP to APC, Wike decided not to complete the project. Wasted money.
Why weep now? Rotimi Amaechi was the former minister of transportation from 2015 to 2022. What did he do for Easterners? Rather than use his office to better the transportation infrastructures in his region, he spent his time buiding railway links to Northern Nigeria all the way to Niger Republic! Speaking of governores, the money stolen by Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore A. Orji, Okezie Ikpeazu; the past governors of Delta State, Rivers State, Akwa Ibom State, Ebonyi State, Bayelsa State, Cross River State, Imo State, and Anambra State would have been more than enough to transform that region into the envy of the Nigeria, and Africa as a whole! Blame your governors, senators, House of Rep members for the lack of true infrastructural developments in your region.
You'd best pull ur head out of the sand like an Ostrich and see facts for what they are! Tribal sentiments will get us NOWHERE! The truth will always be the truth no matter how much it is colored! Our Polithieves in this country are just sooo heartless and wicked! QED
This is why you failed JAMB. What you wrote has no bearing to the issue at hand. So a minister for transportation should be building railway infrastructure only in his region, but if he did that, he would be accused of tribalism, yes or no? So others with no minister of transport should have no railway then. This is exactly how people like you wrecked Nigeria. the areas mentioned are not the only places where governor stole money and yet they have federal government built railway infrastructure.? You need to admit that you are a bigoted, racist black skinhead willing and able to justify injustice as long as you are not impacted by it.
Some of the criticisms are valid, some are not. Any train journey anywhere in the world can end in breakdowns, delays and cancellations. The coaches are not too bad in terms of space, cleanliness and even toileting facilities. The station buildings do not need to be demolished as they are rare architecture which can stand side by side with modernised station, harbouring films of old train travels. That said, it is very insensitive, probably provocative and an incitement to group anger for the Nigerian state and its operators to modernize railway stems in western and northern Nigeria while blatantly ignoring the east or baiting them with antiquated systems. This is what triggers insurrection in African states hence even the African military leaders (if they are wise) should counsel their political masters about the need for equitable treatment of national groups in a multi-ethnic state. An equitable approach to public policy is preferable to just turning a blind eye to injustice and expecting the army to go shooting at aggrieved national groups with imported guns.

The distance from Lagos to Ibadan is very further away than from Aba to Port Harcourt. Moreover, that line operates the modern trains and not what you have from Aba to Port Harcourt.
In some countries, all ticket holders would have their money refunded, and transit buses to immediately dispatched to help move the passengers depending on their destinations.
It is left on the Eastern Governors to lodge a serious protest and demand. Their region is supposed to be treated like other parts of the country.
They will Rather move to Lagos build mansions than Lodge a protest.
They never protest anything. Their representatives are fighting for living quarters in Abuja and foreign built SUVs instead and their governors are dressed in clown costumes attending southern governors forum, an executive committee for Igbo exclusion. They are useless.
Wow this experience is crazingly incredible
I came from a Railway family ,my Dad worked in Nigerian Railways ,i was using train from 80s and I remember how effective the railways were back in the days .what a shame to this nation .
Can they have a look at the coach in New York? I don’t see anything wrong with the coach you’re in, certainly not. By the way, that train is inter city and not intra city. Most inter city trains are quite lower class even at Abuja abd Lagos.
I think that NRC should be called out to do the needful on this route. Also the both governors should be made aware, and the minister of transportation should be called out.
@triedstone since you want to open your evil mouth, I am IJAW we certain contribute more than our quota and THIS IS DISGRACEFUL. Not just to us in the region, but to you as a Nigerian. If you had any sense of you decency and standard, you would recognize it as well. The truth is the train/station/system in Abuja is world-class, as are the others elsewhere and this train in PH is terrible, the grounds are the colonial buildings! This does not have to be about regions, all parts of Nigeria deserve better and for sure the regions producing our primary export.
Why are you people complaining? , if you're in hurry you should have taken cabs that will take you to Aba in less than 34 minutes
if you are not an idiot you will know the complaint is about double standards. the place that produces what powers Nigeria should at least get what the rest of the country get, not a sub standard one.

It's a good start. I hope they upgrade it soon.The NRC should be called out, the FG should also be forced to upgrade the trains plying that route.
@isiejeme0829 it cannot be upgraded. The line is a "narrow gauge" line for exactly this type of old coaches, the train "terminals" are also not at par with others in other parts of the country. The other parts of the country use "Standard Gauge" lines. Standard Gauge lines are for more modern trains.
@@enetamuno5953 Not accurate. Whether standard or narrow, both have their uses. There are still narrow guage rail lines in the western world. It's best suited for freight and cargo plus hilly areas. However, the bigger plan is to upgrade this but finance (loans) was the challenge. Considering the rail lines were not working at all for a while, upgrading and repairing the current narrow guage is a start. Let's continue to push for better stations, newer routes and affordable fees.
@@osayiodigieh
Yes and no. While the railway system in the "western world" has its own politics, the general trend is towards standard gauge because of the debut of high speed trains. Nobody sets out now to build narrow gauge railway lines although in places like Japan and Italy some are still in use for various reasons. In Nigeria, the politics is unmistakeably malicious, pointedly hatred-driven and toxic. If funding is the issue, then why was some of the foreign loans obtained in Nigeria's name used to build standard gauge railway to Niger Republic instead of eastern Nigeria? Of course those doing it and their agents would dare the targeted group to do their worst like all blacks do when they are in power, but no matter how you try to rationalise the disaster, this can only exacerbate the existing alienation among a section of the population.
@@RadioTV595 See, how infrastructure is funded especially by foreign countries has nothing to do with tribal sentiments. Donors will favor the most economically viable routes to fund first because that guarantees a quicker return so loans can be repaid. On numerous occasions, the then transport minister came on air to explain these things to Nigerians, but in our usual way we must blame tribal sentiments. I vividly recall when the minister complained about antics of local politicians and people to frustrate rail construction in their region, He personally stated that he'd prefer building in the South West than the South South where he comes from. So you see, we also contribute to these problems and we should also look inward and ask ourselves what we really want.
On the topic of narrow guage, I stated very clearly that Standard guage is the ultimate plan for the eastern rail corridor but pending when funding can be secured they simply re-laid the narrow guage tracks to keep the corridor working. Considering where they were before, this is not as bad as we make it seem. We only need to push for better, just as I said.
@@osayiodigieh
Bro,
Good points. However, you are wrong about foreign countries and "tribal sentiments". Foreign "donors" are guided by the wishes of the states they invest in and the determination of "most economically viable routes" depends on who is in power and what their bias is, but is definitely not value-neutral. How are the Warri-Itakpe- Abuja or Lagos to Niger republic lines more economically viable the Port Harcourt-Aba- Enugu etc. lines if not for toxic tribal politics? How viabiale is Ibadan =Abeokuta route compared to the Aba-Port Harcourt one? Have you not seen passengers hanging precariously on Aba-PH trains due to lack of space or is there another secret test of route viability in use? Besides, repayment of of loans is not done with fares collected from passengers on these routes but from oil rent collected in eastern Nigeria. So in a fragile multi-ethnic state like Nigeria "tribal sentiments" will need to be part of any economic evaluation of any application for foreign loans and its repayment. Right now, many people would struggle to understand why the eastern railway lines which were economically viable even in colonial times have suddenly and inexplicably lost viability under black rule if not because of malicious and toxic tribal politics.
The re-laying of narrow gauge lines in the eastern railway corridor is still unjustifiable no matter how you attempt to rationalise it. Again since funding is the issue, how is it acceptable to use foreign loans obtained in the name of Nigeria to build modern standard gauge railway lines in Niger republic (which even recently closed its borders with Nigeria anyway without stoking local anger? If this blatant discrimination happened elsewhere, you all will of be waxing lyrical about racism, prejudice, bigotry etc, but as it is perpetrated by blacks on blacks in Nigeria, everyone is ok with it.
* The minister lied about being frustrated from constructing railway in his region. He should admit that he was played for a fool using the promise of becoming the successor to Buhari as a bait. Do you also remember when he was dressed up in Fulani turban and publicly paraded as the new anointed saviour of Nigeria?

President Tinubu last week paid in full the FG counterpart funding for PH-Maiduguri Standard Guage the construction of which will begin any time from now. Blame Amechi for what you see right now. By the way, this present narrow guage train was fixed pending. I believe it will be used for freight eventually hence no need to buy new train until Standard guage is complete.

Yes there is a report like that - i.e. that FG had paid their share of funding bla bla bla. But it does not address the issue of why they are building narrow gauge railway in eastern nigeria and standard gauge railway in the west and not and even up to Niger republic. Their own senate had in November asked them to upgrade the line to standard gauge but there would not. Ibos should now petition world bodies and give this discrimination global publicity.
Just see how relaxed the beautiful ladies are experiencing such nonsense in the name of train, sorry, molue ride. I had bet that if this were to happen in the north or western Nigeria the passengers would hold the train officials hostage until explanations are given as to why such poor services. The way we make our bed as Igbos is the way he must lie on it. If our people decide to accept anything then anything will be our lot. Kudos to the old man for being the exception.
True talk. This is how even Aba itself was taken over and destroyed by Ibo crooks and even the major roads collapsed. Still, nobody could say or do anything about it.

The locomotive engines that operate in the Western and Northern Nigeria are very modern, and not easy to breakdown. Secondly, Port Harcourt is not far from where the train is now. In a real operating system, spear engines are supposed to be at the Port Harcourt "locomotive shop or shed as it was called before the Civil War", where an engine could be dispatched ASAP to travel to and tow the disabled engine and its passengers to its destination. What happens if the unarmed passengers are attacked by armed robbers?
Also, before the train engine got disabled, the train driver must have radioed the Port Harcourt that they are having problems with the engine and wait for advice from the Chief Engineer in the shop.
This Dr. Darlington Egbu from the USA.
Eastern Nigeria was once the epicentre of railway engineering in Nigeria/West Africa and the area had a pool of skilled railway workforce -engineers etc. You can see still see some of this in the old communications equipment in Enugu etc. which also managed to have an underground/subway. All those skills are now lost and our people are into keke, okada etc. when thy are not trading on the streets.

Speaking of governores, the money stolen by Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore A. Orji, Okezie Ikpeazu; the past governors of Delta State, Rivers State, Akwa Ibom State, Ebonyi State, Bayelsa State, Cross River State, Imo State, and Anambra State would have been more than enough to transform that region into the envy of the Nigeria, and Africa as a whole!

Some of the criticisms are valid, some are not. Any train journey anywhere in the world can end in breakdowns, delays and cancellations. The coaches are not too bad in terms of space, cleanliness and even toileting facilities. The station buildings do not need to be demolished as they are rare architecture which can stand side by side with modernised station, harbouring films of old train travels.
That said, it is very insensitive, probably provocative and an incitement to group anger for the Nigerian state and its operators to modernize railway stems in western and northern Nigeria while blatantly ignoring the east or baiting them with antiquated systems. This is what triggers insurrection in African states hence even the African military leaders (if they are wise) should counsel their political masters about the need for equitable treatment of national groups in a multi-ethnic state. An equitable approach to public policy is preferable to just turning a blind eye to injustice and expecting the army to go shooting at aggrieved national groups with imported guns.

Nigeria is a big joke, and all of those coaches obviously don't have air-conditioning, and then the delay. But then why is the trans not going across the country? As big as China is, there's railways connecting every province and major cities and towns
when the railline reach enugu they will improve the wagons and rollstock
Nonsense lead me a
First Class Lounge ke 🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂😂
In as much as I don't like this government but sometimes we need to get the right information before we come to the public domain. The idea was to start using the old coaches pending when the project is completed. This becomes necessary as it would not allow the newly laid tracks to rot away and criminals won't start vandalizing what has been done. We should wait until the entire project is completed before we give a final verdict. Let's educate ourselves before making conclusions.
So where is the project now? Meanwhile some people are scheming to buy one private for over $600million for the use of one man but no t a single train, yes orzo?
@@LabaraNdonia They just completed track laying from PH to Aba. Their next target is to take it to Enugu. They final stop is Maiduguri.
@@ibiboataisijustin5492The same narrow guage track that is being complained about?? Whilst other regions are using standard guage?? Abeg, say something else!
I am eager to SEE the First Class Train; however, I never know it was not too attractive train for me.
This is a really horrible train, from the ticketing, the lounge area, Loading bay area. The general look of the train is very horrible.
That's why the north don't want regional government
Bosu what do you mean this is like ghana train this Nigeria train is what we use in the olden days.
I saw a lot of trains like this in accra , lagos abuja train are 10x better

I love that phonetic woman!!
Interviewer: Do you live in Nigeria?
Interviewee: Yes! I did.
Then move in with her.
Nigerians are all comedians. That is why everyone has not died in the country. If this mess happened in the western world people will be stressed out, but for our people, they turn it to comedy.
Nothing to celebrate in a system that favoured one above the other. The wickedness the leaders are exhibiting is very bad. What's good for the West, North is also good for the South South and East. They built a modern train stations with a standard gauge rail system in the West and ended up constructing narrow gauge in the East with no train station.
@@FreddyPateki
My dear, nothing like the new modern train coming soon.
They said it months ago and there's no sign something new is coming.
As for the narrow gauge, it's an old track but they just renovated it.
@@Southernview3k it's a renovated
And the line does not belong to the south east alone because it's still being extended all the way to the north of the country and will eventually meet with the lagos-calabar rail when constructed
It will definitely be increased
@@Damination-yj6ti
Lagos Calabar is a standard gauge rail. The narrow gauge train cannot fit into the standard gauge track.
@@Southernview3k it can't, it runs its own track
This line will branch with it so it will definitely be extended
@@Damination-yj6ti
My dear, narrow gauge is an outdated rail system.
South Africa changed their narrow gauge track in Pretoria and the government is still updating their rail system while here in Nigeria, the government is taking us backward instead of improving.
Political calculation of the East is out of it.
I don't know why the vlogger is comparing national rail with intracity metro rail of Lagos and Abuja!!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
Is the Lagos to Ibadan intracity?
They are comparing the standard gauge system in Lagos and not the blue rail.
lagos to ibadan? abuja to kano? are those also intra city?
@@Southernview3k Well , if I am honest, I don't see the difference between the two trains.
But trains are trains, eventually all these national rail trains will travel up and down the country!!
At this point, there is going to be the issue of travel traffic!
Otherwise there is nothing really different!!
I must admit the metro transit trains in in Abuja and Lagos are rather eye catching!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
@@thatoneguywholovesthena-4529
And Abuja to Kaduna.
@@thatoneguywholovesthena-4529 Eventually all these trains will crisscross the entire country.
They are not regional trains as such!!
We can't keep nitpicking and moaning at every little thing!!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
They are helping Nnamdi Kanu to make his case 4 BiafrA😂
Advocate for ONE Nigeria! Is Biafra aha ndigbo? Gini bu Biafra, oputara gini na asusu Igbo? Anyi bu One Nigeria and will remain as one Nation. So, stop thinking of division and separation but oneness of Nigeria and concentrate on making the South the best part of Nigeria. We are more than capable.
Igbo should even thank Buhari that they so much abused and called names. They have been voting for PinDiPi without getting anything for it. Until they change their hate attitudes and embrace development.
People like you are the reason some easterners are demanding for secession
Cow brain, people like you are the reasons why the masses are living under the mercy of politicians, because you don’t know your rights, Nigeria is not buhari or tinubu company, they were employed or rigged themselves to serve Nigeria.
Anyway there is no shortage of fools in Nigeria.
OGA STUT UP!
Thank buhari for what? Is it his money they're using to build the infrastructure?
Some of ur 🧠 matter is obviously missing! U can never call Igbos 'haters'...A pple that transcend to all parts of the World, and make it their home??
This is a tale of 2 countries. If we complain of marginalization, them go say what is your governors doing? This has shown that they are not interested in our wellbeing. While they are building standard gauge trains track for other regions they are leaving us with narrow gauge tracks. They built modern trains stations for the other regions, they left us with colonial era train stations. They imported modern trains for Lagos Ibadan line and Abuja kaduna line but they gave us this world war 2 train that they used during Hitler’s war. Nigeria has abused us enough that our people are actually celebrating mediocrity. The old man is the only one there saying the truth. This Aba PH line will actually be more viable and profitable if they actually do it well. 😢
