Because he disconnected the train uh?




RIP to the departed!

Accidents are bound to happen. It cld have been the fault of the technical crews who didn't tightly hinge the engine cabin to the passenger cabin . It cld have been the fault of the driver who may have accidentally pressed the disconnect button.


I wonder why the minister of transport should resign over an accident that's not his fault.

And I was still thinkin of borading train if I wanna travel to d. North in future cause I was scared of road acciden.today train accident in kaduna nd kebbi or so.mehn air would be d best option oh,but jesus is the best transporter
