Photo: Compare these stations; one in London, the other in Nigeria
I think we should start comparing after the train in Nigeria has operated for at least two years...there's no basis right now...but kudos to our government for effort...good job!

Nigerians own look good if not better, but the problem is not how good or better Nigerians own look, its can we maintain it? Because there is a lack of maintenance culture in Nigeria
Oh yes lets see how good they will run on our dilapidated rail lines in the next couple of years before comparison All the same the effort is appreciated. Kudos GEJ and your team.

Dear Reno, first of all may God punish you for having the effrontery to attempt to make this better than it actually is. We do not remotely compare to London. The UAE is our oil producing counterpart. I'm sure you know that the ugliest train station in Dubai is a hundred times nicer and more efficient than our best international airport. This train thing your people have done is nothing to write home about and you all should bury your heads in shame! Most of you don't plan riding on it, so I'm not surprised.
It a gud job first of all ..bur as u can see pix no dy lie...d 9ja one is too cramped up n may be d terminal could be made an indoor terminal n mayb work out more space for d loading area of d Train so ppl don't av to b all sqashed n close to d rail ..bur all in all it a Gud work ..#Tslicky
Forget it !! Jonah is the one to fix this country !! They all know it that's why they ar doing all the can to paint him black now all his works are hardly heard of while the boko stories make headlines daily , we can't be fooled we know this strategy long time ago... But God remains his strenght...jona has chosen the impossible !!

a.k.a EDWIN CHINEDU AZUBUKO said... . Thats not hw to do it mr man, yu bring the best frm london and lets compare and not some low life train station ok.... . . ***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Exactly! D underground trains in London have been in existence 4 ages n so have most of the stations, so let's give d 9ja trains and stations just 5yrs and see what will happen(of course we all know how the state of both the trains and stations will be so no need to wait *bbm rolling eyes* )
You don't just compare the rails and the trains, u compare the environment itself.... Now taking a look at the environment, I think people can easily detect which is more user friendly... DRE
One is working one is not. we can not be fooled by the red carpet waiting for GEJ. 'igbolabiKiri' your choice of pix is totally wrong why disgrace us this everybody can see that your train is going nowhere!! Na wa for you ooo. and you dey collect salary for this?
lol this reno is drunk...the one in london is more than a hundred years old and is still very organised and finer...you should see train stations built in london in 2014 pls..btw I can still see red carpet in the lagos one...reno has no chill.
There's no base for comparison and 2years is certainly not enough. those wooden roofs will fly off in no time. Even the sophisticated bus-stop shelters that Fashola did in Lagos is beginning to fall apart in some locations. Nigerians build but lack maintenance policies!
Stupid Reno , why don't you compare their econimic status and your country Nigeria which one is the best . Boda ode oshi , aridin , omo ale jatijati .lindodo Pls post my comment ooooo ***Stainless***
Dis stupid man won't rest..A-hole like u..u de compare naija to london..why must it b dis london train pic?? U won't put beta ones..keep deceiving d pple u can deceive..maga............................#KingOfKings
Linda pls don't be deceived with dis iddo terminus pics,d pics was taken on the day the new train was commisioned and dats y d terminus was looking neat.I use d train daily,d new one is 750 from iddo to ijoko,d dirty old one is 230 from iddo to ijoko.d old price was 500 for firstclass and 150 for the regular coaches.oya tell me what dey have done to help us
This man called Reno is a funny character! What is the basis of comparison? The railway system of Great Britain, the principal territory of the United Kingdom, is the oldest in the world, it dates back to the 1840s and it is still serving the people well. The truth is that: Nothing works in Nigeria. What happened to Nigeria Airways? Let's wait and see.
i totally agree to comparing after at least at least 2 years. the train station and trains in London have been running and well managed for several years. I hope and pray the Nigerian government keeps up

Non-sense all these trains are no longer in operation in London again. Even at that the station is still far better than the one the one in Lagos And it is one of their oldest stations. So what is He talking about!!!
Earl court station is just an old station, most trains that ply this station are underground trains. If u compare the way the Britton manage the transport system especially the train system it far away different from Nigeria.
I feel this trains are just new(as they called), please let's see them in the next 6 months. Train that were refublished to Nigeria standard. The UK underground system is over 151 years, In this country we have no plans for the first underground.
The trains brought by goodluck are Overground trains, so if u compare them to UK overground , you are making a huge mistake.
@ Mischievous, this ur name no suit ur comment at all. To the matter, I concur to ur comment, the comparism is totally baseless and ridiculous, u don't compare a system that has been in existence for centuries and still efficiently and effectively run, with the one that is just born and I can assure there is no system in place to see to its maintenance; even the naija train was panel beaten into shape. However, I commend the Govt for the effort made and hope that a system as such should be regularly maintained otherwise its a waste of money putting it in place in the first place.God bless Nigeria! #WiseOne#
Linda as much as I like reading stuff on ur blog...seems like you are over sympathetic to this rotten government...which is ok because that is your decision to make...however thank God you and I have lived in the western world and know what obtains out here....who campaigns on railway and road system in the US or Canada...it is their job and they have to do it....keep celebrating early 19th century locomotive while the country keeps breaking into bits and pieces...nonsense even from the so-called enlightened ones...LINDA YOU MUST POST THIS OOOOOOOOOOOO
Maintainance culture is important. Also I hope there would be light on d train .I think Nigerian govt should just allow the graduate to run it nd not pple like my oga at d top! A lot of money goes into London underground am not sure if Nig is able to put so much money into train stations esp when it's for common people.
I am a LIBer but hardly Comment...Reno Omokiri ogun will punish you and your family because i dont know how much you get paid for this...You are so Dumb for comparing a London train and station to this Crap you call a station...I am sure you know deep down you are deceiving average Nigerian...Oju ti la we are now exposed this is not a Train station.
why are we so negative in our thoughts? Cant we appreciate and encourage progress and even if we must criticize; cant it be constructive. Building of a great nation is not a one man's project, its collective effort; so let us the "NIGERIANS" help maintain and sustain our infrastructures first b4 insulting any leader.........
Weldone Jonathan! This is a major improvement!However I feel the issue of constant electricity should have been dealt with first before I just hope even when you leave, the person after you will be involved in maintaining the structure.
Nigerian politicians have a terrible habit of not taking over the work of their predecessors due to fear of making them(the predecessors) look good or something. That is why they always want to start something new instead of just improving what was there before. Oh Nigeria..God help us.
The London Underground dates back to 1863 and is the oldest underground in the world. It's still operating till this very minute ( just taking it home at the moment) and this foolish man has the guts to compare it with a train network that hasn't even functioned for a single month?! In a civilised society, this man would have been terminated from his post ages ago.
@ Anonymous 10:06am, God bless you for stating that we should compare ourselves with UAE not old London. Please people if you have money go to Dubai not to shop but to see how good governance and leaders and not hungry men make do with their resources. Na the same oil we get, no o, we get more oil than UAE and they don pass us since. And this over paid and over stuffed person would come and be doing stupid PR on twitter. May God forgive all our corrupt politicians because after going to Dubai i have sworn for all of them! Wicked human beings! Is that one a train or what?! And yes! i dey vex!!
This is becoming quite childish from the FG, Earl court station they are showing here was opened in 1871.....yes, it is that old but it is well maintained. The trains in the picture were introduced in 1980, so I really don't understand the basis of the comparison. The British people did not STUPIDLY go and buy 30 year old trains in 2014 like our FG did.
Again Reno speaks too soon. The Nigerian station was obviously photographed on commissioning day when the train was yet to lift one passenger (red carpet on platform makes that obvious doesn't it?) while the London one is clearly a functioning, packed with commuters affair. Nice try but non is fooled.

Please we need be corrected, the Ido terminus was repainted by President Obasanjo and not President Jonathan what has changed is the newly purchased 68 seater diesel coach with 100km/hr speed limit. Please take note.
I just returned from a vacation in Dubai, and I must say I literally cried wen I saw how things work in the UAE. Who is dis our govt fooling sef? Abi what is Mr Reno referring to sef? Cos wat I see here is panel beated steel from the past and painted green. Train in 2014???? An era where metros are in operation and driverless coaches and dis is what you have to show? Dubais oil contributes only 7@ercent of their GDP and dts Wats used to develop the land. They don't even extract up to half of wat we do. No offense to doz dat see dis as a milestone o, bt as far as am concerned dis is BULLSHIT!!!! Its high time Nigerians get angry at Mr Reno and associates and make things work. Before and after GEJ ko before and after our forefathers ni. Abegi jorr.....

Linda , you are so right, compare after it has been used !

You no even happy say you get working trains given the standard of the country.... Pshewww!!!

For once Linda,you made sense.
First things,do I see a red rug?in a station that is meant to cater to heavy human and baggage traffic?.
Two years?!! Try two decades! We never get train before? And is that red carpeting I'm seeing?!! Sheeesh! These niggaz...
Rubbish! Good point Linda, horn blowers!!!!
There's a lot of improvement. Bravo
Niger for life!
can he deceive us wit one of d worst rail station in london and d best in nigeria? Rubish.
Non-sense all these trains are no longer in operation in London again. Even at that the station is still far better than the one the one in Lagos And it is one of their oldest stations. So what is He talking about!!!
ori won buru, which 1860 train did he copy to rep london? highly unfair lol but kudos
The roof
Mrs DAvido
Lol! Linda! Abi you don dey collect Money! Anyway, I hope Nigeria gets better!
Lol. God bless Nigeria
The one in Lagos looks like its been in a crash before. Seriously look at the front despite the paint, you can see bumps.
The train station in Lagos be like joke
Grand celebration of mediocrity. Kudos? In this age? What is the job of the Government sef? Kudos. Na wa o
The London trains are functionally carrying ordinary people. The Iddo station spots a red carpet and a train that is going nowhere!
Earl court station is just an old station, most trains that ply this station are underground trains. If u compare the way the Britton manage the transport system especially the train system it far away different from Nigeria.

Building is one thing,Maintenance is another,I pray it shld be taken care of.Good work F.G.
I agree... Maintenance is the KEYWORD!
Great job GEJ!! Maintenance is very important!
Remember the ones in London have been there for a while. The Nigerian situation just got revamped. Let's wait a while before comparisons are made.

They will chop the maintenance money na
