- Some footage I shot during work, the latest progress of Ibadan station and Abeokuta station, almost done. Required by ministry of transport, the stations will be put into use on 25th January. President Buhari was also invited to the ceremony. According to CCECC senior management, the entire rail and accessories will be done by June 2021 and then hand over to Nigerian Railway Company.
Before Christmas I was relocated to Ibadan Station site to supervise installation, actually did majority of brazing work, during this also trained few residential AC technicians do VRF work. People on site work 7*24 for few months to catch the schedule. We got only one day break, only Christmas day.
The train will bring so much convenience to local people.
I loved traveling on the train so fast and very cozy haha!
I'm not Nigerian but as a person with african descent I want to thank you for what China has done in Africa. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you! For me Nigeria (or Africa) gave us business opportunity and jobs. It’s not charity but mutual benefit. The National Capitalism of China make it happen.
@@LieutZhuNG Imperialst Wanker!
China is robbing Africa blind, all this comes with a very large price...Just like the Europeans did.
The budget information is open to public. So what kind of proof is that?
@@LieutZhuNG Like that harbour project in Sri Lanka, international thief thief!!
Well done man. Always watch your videos. Very proud of the collaboration between the Chinese and Nigerians, a collaboration that is bringing progress to communities.
The train will connect south and north, facilitate business and industries. Thanks for watching and happy mew year!
THANK GOD FOR THIS VIDEO CLIP ......THIS SHOWS ALL IS NOT LOST FOR NIGERIA.........AND THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT .
Wow! The train looks very sleek on arrival at the Ibadan Station. Nice!!! We just have to hang on till construction is complete to roll our suitcases easily.😄🤞🏾
😊🚄🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🇳🇬 Lovely!
You are absolutely correct the Ibadan has such a lovely big square. Makes it so much nicer...😁 Can't wait to come on board. 🤞🏾
Meanwhile, the Chicken busy chicken-walking in the terminal is hilarious...
Lovely, well done 👍🏽. Hope to see you in many more projects here!
Happy new year! Thanks for watching
I know it takes long time to develop but easy to destroy. If every this govt and successful ones continue this way, Nigeria will be among great nations! Thanks for excellent job.
you all prolly dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Kylan Ali instablaster :)
Thank you for this video ! Happy New Year !
Happy new year bro!
They should build multi-story residential buildings near the station so huge numbers of people can commute from here to the city center.
The building should go vertical, give more land for road and other infrastructure.
Then people can live in Ibadan and work in Lagos
@@LieutZhuNG Do you have any idea why builders in Lagos aren't building vertical like they do in China or other places? Do the local contractors lack the skill to build multi-story buildings or is there a lack of required material?
The government and governance, town planning I guess. Go vertical will be a perfect solution to solve the traffic and infrastructure problem. Later I will use one entire video to explain it. Another reason probably the culture, people prefer house rather than high rise building. And many other reasons
@@LieutZhuNG SMH, Nigerian culture is very far from modernization. Everything is backwards.
Thank you for showing us progress.❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! After this project I will return back to China. Best wishes this rail will connect Lagos to Kano soon.
@@LieutZhuNG do you have an idea when the ibadan to kano will commence?
They just signed a memorandum, supposed to be start 2020, but delayed because of COVID
this is real nice am so much happy to see this in nigeria .so Happy pls all keeping showing us and make sure their should be tudy no tissue paper on the floor bcos some nigerian are not clean
The staff are working to keep the coach clean
Happy Christmas
Nice job 👌
Thanks!
Thanks for uploading. Happy New Year!!! Trust you're going to be in China for Chinese New Year.
Thanks for watching! Wish you a safe, prosperous and happy 2021. I will stay here through Chinese New Year, the project will be done till May or June 2021. But more trains will be available on. 25th January. We are finishing the toilet, ticket hall and waiting hall
Wow great jobs we are moving gradually thanks alot for your work God bless you all
Nice! Didn't know you were back in Nigeria. Well done.
Thanks! 😃
@@LieutZhuNG You're welcome. Any clip from the Lekki Free Trade Zone port etc?
@@antnam4406 Not been there for more than 1 year, will go after the railway project
Thanks for your hard working you really did a great work and it really amazing since this thank soo much for your effort.......when you are going back to China don't forget to take me with you
If my wife does plan to kill me then LOL. Thanks for watching!
@@LieutZhuNG please if you are close to any government in Nigeria can tell them to bring china electrician to fix Nigeria light....can you imagine for the past 6days am seen light in the next street and my own street don't have light, is china like that 😂😂😭😭😭😭
When I was young in 1990s my father used battery from motorbike for TVs. After 2000 there is no such problem anymore. Few years ago the national power grid upgraded to 22KV for every community, and now my house in village has stable 380v 3 phase supply. As well as 100MB fiber glass internet, stream 4k video without buffering. Pay about 60k Naira/ year. Unlimited data
I saw Chinese contractors in Ghana back in 2015, now people in generator business has some serious challenge in Accra
@@LieutZhuNG soo what did you mean
Nice!
Thanks for watching
One common feature I see in these videos of the Nigeria railway is hardly any of these 'workers' actually working. They almost all stand or sit around, doing nothing useful.
XD
Great job God bless Nigeria and China
thanks for watching
this great project would have been abandoned in the days of those other group of people. Thank God we gave them a break.
Hopefully not. It’s very convenient
The person that is able to establish a national railway service in Nigeria, will become a hero, and billionaire over night. It's a much needed service. I have no idea why the government haven't made it a priority.
No private company will do, tooo expensive, and profit won’t cover the investment.
Only could be done by government, the whole society will enjoy cheaper transport, reliable commute, land along the line will appreciate. Lots of benefit is indirect
@@LieutZhuNG Thanks for the insight.
@@LieutZhuNG Very true. It would cost USD1.9billion to build a Rail Line to move Coal from my LGA to Lagos Ports and USD972m for a Rail Line from my LGA to PH-Onne Ports. Absolutely not profitable for an individual to take on especially at this time.
Welcome.
That is better than the Madaraka Express, I wonder why?
That chicken did not trust you..lol i don't blame it, this isn't his first rodeo, with everyone trying to fry and eat it, a stranger looking at videoing him must have looked suspicious.
That is a brave chicken, LOL. Happy mew year!
Any idea of which cities the railway will go thru to reach calaber? Will be interesting to know ! I am from Edo state with over 4 million people. This will be certainly economically viable both to the Government and our state too.
remember pls maintenance culture is really really important nigerian govt lack of this
I am not going to be happy with anybody that will want to put dirt in these trains. I am ready to fight !
lol if you are inside train you must put all the dirt inside train there is a dustbin for that ... and every train have cleaners that are always in the train cleaning and washing this toilets ...there is no way people will not put dirt in the train
I saw fashola inspecting work
You also work on site?
@@LieutZhuNG watching from Holland.
Lovely country. Happy new year!
@@LieutZhuNG same here
Hotel O.pat
I am very concerned about the maintenance of these clean trains. I hope the government will put in place strict laws for those who will want to mess up the trains and police people trying to soil them.
Actually these are same trains used in China. Many of them served for decades but still looks very clean. It’s much easier to maintain than cars or buses. As long as there will be enough passengers and cargo, enough revenue, enough maintaining fund, it will not be an issue.
@@LieutZhuNG Are these trains old refurbished from China? They don't look modern to me.
@@sigerian1085 You know that modern trains run on electricity only. Nigeria is not ready for that as at now. These trains are modern enough even when they are refurbished.
In fact, I prefer these ones to some of the AmTrak trains I see online. I also prefer them to those used in Kenya and Ethiopia.
I do not know whole told you or how you discovered it’s refurbished train. Please let me know.
Not refurbished one, it’s from Tangshan Locomotive company, saw their engineer on the train. Amtrak is a joke, when I was in DC for 2 years heard three derail accidents near Maryland. And it’s very expensive. Train in Europe is much better, Deutschland Bahn, but not as advanced as the train in China, LOL. Because our train built later then them
Why not elevator than st
restaurants open
Why are they using generators, brother? They should have connected it to the power grid despite Nigerian electric supply is not reliable.
They have UPS generator and power grid all three source. Because signal is very important when many trains on operation. Generator is kind of backup
@@LieutZhuNG Thank you for that piece of information.
加油!
谢谢
Is it a meter gauge or a standard gauge railway?
Standard gauge and double rail. With sophisticated signal system. Could run on full capacity
When is it gonna be completed?
Due to second of covid, might delay to June
@@LieutZhuNG Good
What about eastern region....are they not part of Nigeria
They already planning a train from lagos to calabar
They do have plan to connect south East, contract signed
@@LieutZhuNG
Any idea of which cities the railway will go thru to reach calaber? Will be interesting to know ! I am from Edo state with over 4 million people. This will be certainly economically viable both to the Government and to our state too.
I am not sure yet, but later will try to collect information
Where in Ibadan is the station?
Near Lawee dee station if you navigate by google map
@@LieutZhuNG there should be more stations closer to the city centre in ibadan
If they build here, the city will expand to here, will benefit in long run. The FG planned it well.
the work is too slow
Kind of
@@LieutZhuNG please sir make the work fast. thanks
@@qaualshngali3349 We really try our best, no Saturday no Sunday, every Nigerian work on site is complaining
@@LieutZhuNG please sir try your best, Nigerians really need this train
