Justcash: All of you that are blaming GEJ for this one are very daft. He is refurbishing the rail system. Is it not the duty of the masses to guard and ensure that these infrastructures are operated efficiently? The people that are to blame for this rot are; 1. Blip you 2000 times for calling Nigerian citizens "masses". 2. Go and ask yourself / research on why government exists or why human societies elect leaders and then answer no. 3 3. Is Nigeria a governed country? |

Nigeria unfortunately is a joke of a country run by thieves. Just arrived in Paris this evening on Eurostar and journey time 2hrs 15 mins. Our government sadly does not care if we live or die which is why everything is decaying in Nigeria. Just a year agony retired uncle minding his business jeje in his car was shot dead by stray bullet in Isheri by armed robbers snatching cars. Police asked us for 500,000 K to investigate!!!! What a sick screwed up system. |

Fhemmmy:and whoes fault is it? Will this pure and utter greed and corruption by the NIGERIANS managing the train stand if the passangers refuse to be treated this way? You just said people sell on rail tracks, don't they know it is wrong? Why do nigerians see government as the author and finisher of their faith? Mahatma ghandi said " you should be the change you want in the world"..apparently, this does'nt apply to nigerians. |

If you were able to read btw the line, you would understand what i am saying, however, like someone said - there are few things could have done to make a difference. |

bilms: @those praising the govt, take a trip on the train and come back to give your testimony Yes, the govt is to blame too. However, what stopped you from insisting that the right thing should be done? Why didn't you try gathering a group of passengers who shared your own view to make your requests bolder? Had u done that, you could have been the person to bring about some level of change in the entire railway system. Well, if that sounds too unbelievable to you, then It explains a lot. I rest my case. (Let's all just go back to blaming govt and wait to be spoon-fed). |

Why take a refund when it was clearly stated that the majority of those onboard would go down in offa and by then,the lagos passengers can sit comfortably? Let me share the full story as published by sr. Soon |

Justcash:Human beings by nature are difficult to govern. Even in the developed countries where everything seem to be working, we still have countless cases of offenders ranging from over-speeding, drunk driving, rape, assault, public disturbance and so on. This clearly shows that Nigerians are not different from citizens of other countries. We have a federal govt whose responsibilities in collaboration with the Legislative are to enact laws and ensure that citizens abide by them by meting out punishments to offenders. What has ur govt done to check the excesses of both the railway staff and commuters? I guess from your point of view, I am the one to enact and enforce the law! Nonsense. On why govt will not buy state of the art trains, its not because we do not have the funds to, its because its not the priority of the elites (who happens to be in the helm of affairs). Neither GEJ nor David Mark nor Sambo nor any minister or governor board those trains for any reason. If it were about building a government lodge, upgrading an airport, installing security gadgets in govt offices or organizing a banquet, they will definitely purchase standard state of the art facilities. Is so disheartening that people like you see things upside down! |
