Nice video. Are we expecting new rolling stocks for the eastern railway line or the old ones would still be maintained on the new tracks?
Awesome information about my lovely people and Nigeria. Love you my brother ❤️
My dear lovely brother, thank you.
Hope you are doing okay
Yea, is a good and efficient service. Always on time. I've ride warri Itakpe Train. Soonest the Eastern line will come on stream. Soon the whole nation will be fully operational like it used to be
David, Could you please update us on the progress of the Eastern line? Thanks! Glad you are almost 100,000! I’ve always believed you would get there!

The one from River State linking East (Abia and Enugu) is narrow guage rail and is under construction. Minister Amaechi protested against the narrow guage during Buhari government.
Nice to see improvement in Nigeria. Praying for areas of service that need improvement to be met and for the people to be put ahead of profit.
Hello David, thanks for the review video.
Maybe it's me but I've just come across your video sheet a long while.
The last set of videos I watched include that Abuja stalled millennium tower project.
Please can you help give an update on that side we now have a new FCT minister.
Then along with my wife, loved your other videos on that cramped train ride in the East.
Then the video on going to one remote part of Nigeria, I think it was still South East.
Thanks and keep it up
And why I'm particularly interested in your videos is that I'm Nigerian living and working in Uganda 🇺🇬
Thanks for commenting.
For now nothing is physically happening, however it's one of the project the minister has mentioned will be finshed
@@DavidNkwa ok David, thanks
Smart man. He went for the standard. I will go for standard too. Well done
Looks run very nicely & organized. How how how did you leave your phones??? I will flog you next time you do it 😂😂 wit love of course. Take the family on that train, I kno they will love it. I like the lady who ride train for snacks lol. Safe travels on every vlog in Jesus name!
lol... please oh, am afraid of flogging, i will not forget my phone again
@@DavidNkwa Alright, 🙏
The price you guys are charging for the trains is too low o. Not tomorrow you will claim that the rail system has collapsed. Charge fares that reflect the true cost of doing the business including adequate maintenance and replacement of worn out assets.
Public benefit services like transit doesn't need to always make a profit, it's good if it does but not the end of the world if it doesn't. As a public benefit, they help economic growth in other sectors like business and job creation by moving people. The economic growth generated from other sectors can easily subsidize the loss of revenue in transit, it's how most economies work. If you charge too much and ridership goes down because people can't afford it and they end up losing their jobs, that's a bigger impact than the revenue deficit and then that would be when it really collapses. Just look at China for instance, they generate $1.8 in economic growth for every $1 they lose on their railways.
@@pastasoo Oga sir, I never mentioned profit in my comment please read well. I just said charge fares that are sustainable. What you’re mentioning is something that should be addressed at the discovery and feasibility stage of the project. If you lack the demand, spending power and ability to “sustainably” subsidize the train service. You have no business going into providing the service. The reason I raised an alarm is because I know Nigeria lacks the ability to sustainably subsidize the service, hence the only viable option is to charge a cost reflective fare of which I can see they are not doing. Hence this is a red flag that the rail service is going to fail in the coming years.
@@ebuka56 I agree with you that fares should reflect on sustainability of this infrastructure.
But I think the fares have now been reviewed to reflect the current realities.
*The price you guys are charging for the trains is too low*
Very correct.
Another issue with Nigeria in general is the the people in charge are kleptomaniacs. Even if fares are commensurate with cost of maintenance, the revenues would be stolen.
Beautiful train from philippines❤
The Eastern rail currently is trash. No stations. It's narrow gauge? No modern coaches
very unsafe people walking on the train tracks
Yeye Nigerian government, busy buying suvs and presidential convoy they still can't fund lbadan to Abuja section of this train,the coastal train is a pipe dream,ltakpe to Abuja is all talk,portharcourt to maiduguri, l'll probably grow grey hair everywhere waiting on that one.😅 kenya is constructing much more than these,how are they doing it but Nigeria can't? 😢Nigeria is bigger in convey and car importation instead of building national infrastructures.
How did you know that you are not part of the signing agreement? Of Ibadan to Abuja
💯
Depriving igbos of there amenities, let them go ahead.Biafra will rise Surely
There is a revenue sharing formula between Nigeria and China.
So China is still in charge of maintaining the trains.
Wait until China hands it over to Nigeria. The service would deteriorate rapidly.
Same thing happened with Nigerian Railway in those days. It worked great in British hands. Then Britain handed it to Nigeria, and that was the end of it.
Thanks!
thank you so much
When are you doing more videos in abuja? I would like to have an update on the millennium tower and hotel. The transportation infrastructure is getting better. The economy needs to get better
