topsyking: Many passengers escaped death when two trains collided in Lagos on Wednesday. Four people were however injured. It was learnt that the accident was due to the absence of signal operator at the Mushin Station terminus in Lagos...It was gathered that the signal operator had gone to defecate and asked his assistant to take over but his assistant forgot, leading to the collision...the accident occurred because the train operators were not properly guided...

Okija_juju: The Nigerian story.. Negligence..

If we had an automated system, this could have been avoided.

AUTOMATED SYSTEM WITHOUT UNINTERRUPTED POWER SUPPLY?

First of all...(please don't say go down low grin)

Two questions;

1. Whatever happened to ELECTRIC SIGNALS?

2. Whatever happened to dual tracks for trains going into the same station from opposite directions?

And the govt tells us we have a rail system angry

His negligence nearly caused hundreds of death. He should be reprimanded and suspended for 3 months to help him continue his 'poo-pooing'

Yea..keep laughing at your ignorance..hahahaha...*mtscheeeee*

Who told you that trains just started running 'days' ago? Intra-Lagos train services, Lagos-Ibadan has been running regularly for months now; Lagos-Zungeru, Minna-Kano have also resumed (only a bridge between Zungeru and Minna is stopping a full Lagos-Kano train service after many years of been comatosed from fully resuming) while some of its branches like Minna-Kaduna has been running for some time now.

You guys should stop bad-mouthing Nigeria. You can curse past leaders who completely abandoned the railways; leave Nigeria out of it

If I was asked by JAMB to summarize this cOmPrEheNsIoN in one sentence, I'd say:

“no signal“....................Equation1

“went to defaecate“...Equation2

“break failed“...............Equation3

“4 injured“ ...................Equation 4

This must be a QUADRATIC EQUATION, Nigerians are good at solving this...

THE ANSWER IS FRAUD. THESE TRAINS HAVE WARANTEES AND INSURED, I HOPE, SO THE BREAK CANT FAIL UNDER A YEAR BAD AS E BAD, AND ONLY 4 INJURED COULD MEAN THE COLLISION WAS CALCULATED AND THERE HAVE TO BE AN EXCUSE FOR COLLISION SO THATS WHERE THE SIGNAL COMES IN AND IF THE MAN WENT TO TOILET THEN THATS THE EXCUSE FOR NO SIGNAL.

topsyking: The man, who looked downcast, said the accident was unfortunate.

“The trains have been removed as you can see. It was not as serious as people exaggerated,” he said.
Those of you saying that the train have not been removed, did you guys read the full story or you read the first line and when on it comment, in order to start writing 'first to comment'.
