First Class On The New ABA To PORT HARCOURT Train🇳🇬(I Cried 😭) 

Dnt ever compare ghana with this big village country again please

​​@@chalejonescheddar5654Why didn't you Make this comment when Ken posted the Lagos Blueline metro rail and Lagos to Ibadan train? You went into hiding out of Shame😅 but now cos you see the Aba-Port Harcourt train and you dey chochocho as if Ghana has a better train than this one. I've seen Ghana railway company trains😅 Even a train that Ghana recently acquired from Poland actually collided with a lorry during a test run in the Eastern Region. In terms of Stadiums, bus rapid transit and train services Nigeria is ahead of Ghana ok

@@mrnaija101Don't mind him. Ghanaians still have no good train experience yet. Even that ones they buy from Poland they look as if they are going to fall off the rail tracks.

@@chalejonescheddar5654 President Tinubu must release this train for Ghana as a gift. It is truly a shame that among West African countries, Ghana is lagging behind. Despite gaining independence in 1957, the country continues to decline, and even Ghana has failed to repay Nigeria's gas debt, which stands at over $300 million.

It's a big shame that Ghana doesn't have a modern railway system 😂

Somebody try na curse Dem dey curse am still...

@@user-nx4fk1ly4d 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 who was talking of amaechi?

@@brightgeorge5222 It wasn't Amaechi fault. Blame Buhari. When the narrow gauge was announced to be constructed in SS to SE, he was angry. He said on a live camera that how can I construct standard gauge rail in the West and North and end up having narrow gauge in the SS region. He was disappointed.

Pls if I may ask, Delta State is in which region cos there is ultra modern train from Delta to Kogi which was constructed during Buhari

💯

He's deluded🤣😂

He might be saying the truth, but am just wondering which resources is e talking about

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.

@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?

@@emperor1681 I do not think you are biased. I know you are ignorant and too proud to get yourself informed about the people whose resources are Sold and shared to your government, if you had informed yourself on how Lagos raises her Funds including IGR then you would have known it is based on earnings generated or diverted from elsewhere. 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.

Let's ask them to o stop train service in these places, Abi? I am from South South too!

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

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.

😂😂😂

Karibu sana

Are there no resources in the south east.....maybe you should Google south east States that also has oil and gas...... rubbish

What is your region?and what is your region contributing more than the South east.

​@@promisebethel2226igbos always claiming that resources are taken from their land to develop other states, which of the resources exactly,how much are the vat values of the 5 igbo states

IMO state is producing oil and gas, anambra too, are you kidding, even aba is producing gas, which gas do you think they used in powering the aba power plant, you must be leaving In the bush if you think south south doesn’t have igbos in it😂

When a fool comment we know, highest natural gas found in Africa is in imo state, and all the whole state in southeast has crude oil .

Imo is in East not West

The state government can initiate a train project as well

Point of correction Lagos state government built the train in Lagos not federal government also there is seaport in east already

@@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.

Goodluck started that project ..buhari only commissioned them 😂

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.

@@RadioTV595 Ungrateful people! Pay off your gas debt before you post nonsense here. Can Ghana, that owes Nigeria over $300 million, and seeking debt cancellation, afford the rail service? Abeg, go and eat Banku and Eggs.

@@emperor1681 Typical loudmouth. What gas debt. Over 90% of gas in Nigeria is in Iboland- 60% in Imo state, the same region you love to suppress. Instead of addressing the regional imbalance being flagged up, you resort to your usual viciousness and insult. Soon you will launch into inappropriate Lagos rant.

@@user-zx9vk4ks6z You want to provoke a fight between us, but we won't let you. Let me educate you, the primary Igbo states in Nigeria are Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, and Enugu state. Also, the major oil and gas producing states in Nigeria are Delta, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa, and Lagos. Now that I have given you the exam expo, it is time for you to apply the practice to know the right answer. Best of luck!

@@emperor1681 Rubbish. So there are no Ibos in Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and even Bayelsa? Who are you trying to deceive? You forgot that many Ghanaians have lived in that area and know it more than you. And there is no gas in Lagos, liar.

Please do

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?

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!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

Shut up, you silly idiot, your South south is a time bomb, stupid and useless idiot

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 .

When the train broke down evev before station, why don't you acknowledge the "ranting" pastor for right criticism. Nigeria is a joke. Divide it .

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!

Yorubas and hypocrisy is like 5 and 6

yeye talk. IN ITALY THERE IS . AND SOME WEEKEND WITH SAME TICKET YOU CAN TRAVEL THE WHOLE DAY. ELECTRIC TRAINS AT THAT. FAST AT THAT . AIR CONDITIONED AT THAT..THAT TRIP WILL TAKE JUST 23 MINS IN ITALY WITH THE REGIONAL NOT THE EXPRESS. OUR COUNTRY ACCOMMODATES AND WELCOMES FAILURE. WE DEFEND AND EVEN ENCOURAGE ABUSES AND EVIL. THAT THING YOU CALL VIP IS FAR FROM BEING 2ND CLASS NOT TO TALK OF FIRST OR VIP. THE IGNORANCE AND MISINFORMATION OF THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE EDUCATED IS THE PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF NIGERIAAND ITS WOES. OGA. ABAYOMI , WITH MY MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FROM MILANO TO BRESCIA WHICH IS TWICE THE DISTANCE OF FROM PH TO ABA IT WILL COST ME A LITTLE LESS THAN 500 NAIRA . OGA VERIFY THE FACTS.

@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.

Kindly cite or share the link where this important information was communicated🙏🏽..We are waiting

@@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.

I saw a lot of trains like this in accra , lagos abuja train are 10x better

Ghana get any modern train? 😅😅😅 Dey play

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.

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!!

​@@mrnaija101 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.

You should ask why a state governor can build its own rail line different from Federal government rail to benefit its state residents. While another state governor is useless to not do nothing but waits on Federal rail line to complain instead of taking responsibility? It's OK to drag the Federal Government but don't absolve the useless state government from their ineptitude.

@@DuyiLuyi?prehendtoo hard to comquestion e Is th And so, I asked; why the governor must accept anything less for his people?

@@dermotwallace5533 read slowly and you'll comprehend my point. Governors shouldn't be in a place of accepting or rejecting projects the FG does in their states. Governors should work to outperform the FG. Lagos blue line (built and funded by LASG) outperforms the NRC interstate standard guage rail line (built and funded by FG) from lagos to ibadan. Hope this is easy for your comprehension now? Evidence is the best argument.

@@DuyiLuyi Same warped logic is why you failed JAMB. Lagos which you love to use as comparator was built entirely by the federal Nigerian giovernment as a capital city. Now you want other states to magically build railways as Lagos without investing any federal money in them..

​@@user-zx9vk4ks6zSome of us are funny. Our Governors are Lazy, Cross River has a monorail, no matter how short the distance ,they built it.

Injustice is been perpetuated by your state governor but you can't blame him.
