It is a good development that Nigeria once again is taking up the initiative of going back to the rail system which used to be the bane of Nigeria's economy. Such initiative I believe will help reduce probably the rate of road accidents in our country. However, the question is at this Twenty-first century I hope Nigeria is going to introduce the modern day rail system and not this old and out dated system that keeps reminding us and traumatizing our grand parents of Colonial rule? What is the government doing, many of them there in power have been to foreign countries and are witnesses to this latest development. Much as I am happy of this new development I hope my country will bring in something that would not remind us of ''White oppression and imperial rule''.
