The railway staffs would sell 2500 tickets when the train can only accommodate 900 people and when the people that couldn't get a sit request for refund,they would say it is none refundable. full article coming soon

Is it had hard to get a good management team in Nigeria?

redsun: For real? This is not the government problem now,it is the management. Average everyday nigerians behaves like wild animals and a situation like that can never encourage good leadership.

All have to be accountable and responsible for their actions,including the railway staffs and passengers.

Shut up jare. Na nigerians put archaic and junk locomotive rubbish on tracks? Are the same nigerians responsible for security and management of the useless crap you call rail system?

The passengers did not sell 2000 plus tickets instead of 900 to themselves and created the chaotic environment. The greedy and incompetent railway clowns and your aso rock uncle created that mess so stop the BS about the passengers. You rip what you sow.

Sincere 9gerian: I'm so shocked the "Eko oni ba je" cabal and the HATERS are having orgasmmm over the unsubstantiated allegation of a notorious HATER.

The transformation that had taken place in the rail transport sector in the last 2 to 3yrs is REAL and confirmed by NUMEROUS news reports, including the recent report below:

The NRC’s Public Relations Officer, North Western District, Sheriff Razaq, made this known in Minna on Wednesday.

“From the beginning of this year, our Mass Transit train makes between N500,000 and N550,000 per trip from Minna to Kaduna,’’ Mr.Razaq said.

He said the corporation charged N320 per passenger per trip, whileeach coach carried between 300 and 350 passengers.

He said 10 coaches were involved in each trip conveying between 3,000 and 5,000 passengers, depending on the patronage.

“The most important thing to note is that our passengers increase on daily basis to the extent that passengers now stand inside coaches,’’ Mr. Razaq said.

He said skeletal services on the route began in June 20, 2011 and about N40, 000 was realised during the trip.

You should be bold enough to jump on one of those trains and show us some pictures.

Stop embarrassing yourself (you are more than that). Everyone know that one of the problem of Nigeria is maintenance culture. Apart of putting up that kpangolo achievement, GEJ can't even provide decent management.

Free the OP - perhaps his effort in bring those facts to us will make GEJ to try "Police College Visit 2.0".

After all what we have in Jonathan is a "Government of Reaction by the Committees"
chucky234: Another junk brain goon
you call that junk locomotive rail system in 2013,shame on you goon.

This is the problem with Nigerians. You have not been able to show that you can manage a fuel/gas powered locomotive rail system, you are asking for an electric or Nuclear powered "supersonic" rail transport system. The masses are crying for jobs, the FG, despite their inefficiency, provides a little and it turns into an opportunity to dig into the national cake through mismanagement. Have you stopped to ask who the heck the people taking more passengers than is needed are, and why they do so unhindered? FOR REAL CHANGE TO COME TO NIGERIA, THE ATTITUDE OF THE NIGERIAN MASSES NEEDS TO CHANGE. You will see how Fashola's LRT project will be turned into a means of transporting tomatoes and piles of dirt when it resumes. Sigh.

What sort of plonkers populate this forum!! What do you expect. A high speed rail? Do you know how much that cost? The u.k still uses victorian rails built in the 18th century, the u.s still uses the transcontinental railway built by pres. Abraham lincoln...the government has rehabilitated the railway for nigerians and your fellow nigerians have invested their greed in it by overselling tickets, instend of you to express outrage at how greedy and aloof your fellow country men can be you talk trash about the government who made everything to be in the first place. Nigerians have drowned themselves in the sea of government they belive it's the reason, cause and solution to everything without looking at yourself and your fellow countrymen..a nation of pillocks!!

why do we condemn everything and everything sometimes for no just reason. i am not a gej supporter and will never be (check my previous posts). however, bring the trains back is a good development. However small this may be, it is positive and a step in the right direction, however, the issue is that a lot more needs to be done, and i strongly doubt gej will be able to deliver on this (to me, a synonym for failure is gej)

Please let's learn to report things exactly how they are rather than reporting lies,I have travelled that route by rail before and despite the fact we had 2hrs delay on the road cos the train got spoilt, I eventually spent 10hrs and dats coupled with numerous stops in different stations and spending an average of 25mins at least, so u can imagine if the train had to travel straight to ilorin without waiting,guess we shdnt spend more than 6hrs on the road.Moreso, let's start from somewhere, we might not be where we shd be as far as rail transport but we definitely can get there if this momentum in improved upon.

Corruption, incompetence, and mismanagement has never been a 'government' problem. It is a Nigerian problem. So people expect GEJ to stay in the Illorin rail station and personally ensure that the tickets are sold correctly and that everything else works normally. Incredible.
