taharqa2: And you bliv this, just like dat? You JUST bliv a Nigerian Newspaper that quoted an ANONYMOUS 'source' apparently stating d cause of an accident b4 any Investigations hv started!! How Smart of you...... PS: 1. Dis Lagos Inter-City Train Service started almost 2 years ago and hv ran consistently since then with about 16-18 trips EVERDAY currently, why is today that a train derails cos of an Alignment defect in a section of d rail that was not properly done during reconstruction more than 2 yrs ago? 2. Trains derail often all ova d world due to many reasons including Disalignment, Track Obstruction, Poor driving, Overspeeding (the article suggests d driver was overspeeding, though none can be sure yet), etc etc- how can you even remotely know what made this incident happen today without undataking any sort of Investigations whatsoever??..... NIGERIANS!!! Do you know what the word "probably" means? |

Sincere 9gerian: Thank God no one was seriously hurt. However, this sort of reports, though it came when an accident happened, reminds us that good things are happening all over the country. The trains are moving people and goods on a daily basis. People are spending less on transport, courtesy the trains. Yes, the govt can and should do more This guy! Always a misfit everywhere. Go get a life! I am a GEJ supporter btw. But I don't see why Sincere 9gerian: ...good things are happening all over the country...Yes, the govt can and should do moretalk should come into this thread. Mtcheeeew |

Thank God nobody died in the accident.I want to use this opportunity to call on the authorities concerned to revive the rail system.Believe it or not,the rail system remains the safest means of transportation yet we turn deaf ears to matters concerning it.Just too difficult to hope that someday this country will be better. |

Find Out!: Before you go rattling and comparing us to India . . Please be informed that the same india has one of the worst history of railway safety in the world with estimated 300 railway accidents reported each year. . . Vain attempts of always doing needless comparative studies doesn't pan out well for folks like you . . . No point down playing the little gains in resuscitating the previously comatose Nigerian railway system . . Bangalore: India operates a railway system that carries more than 13 million passengers every day, but it shows a very poor history of safety. The BBC estimates around 300 railway accidents being reported each year, resulting in a large number of casualties. In the wake of the recent Hampi-Express collision tragedy, here is a list of some of the other recent Railway disasters. http://www.siliconindia.com/news/general/Railway-Disasters-Indias-Shame-nid-116791-cid-1.html 2 Likes |
