What's happening with the free train ride now? I heard there's a lot of irregularities. Our politicians are not the problem of this country. Na the ordinary Nigerian be the problem. Everything must involve corruption

Update: I tried to book a ride early this morning and even with the free seats, I can see "maximum 0 seats". Those guys at the backend are working with the other staff to sneak passengers in. They have set it in a way that one can't register. Nigerians are too corrupt. Even when the government does something good, the people would still use it to extort themselves. Chai!

I successfully booked the train ride from Lagos to Ibadan and also return tickets. While at the train station yesterday, 27th of December at mobolaji Johnson, I noticed the crowd wasn't as much as I expected. the process was actually very quick especially if you have booked online, you'll be attended to on the spot instead of joining any queue. highly commendable. as I wanted to use the elevator, I noticed one female staff came to meet me to ask for Christmas tips in form of cash. it was really disgusting but I just shunned her. I used the escalator instead. there was generally no rushing. people behaved in an orderly manner. many of the seats were even empty. I was in the business class. Mehn, the train ride was sweet. Fully air conditioned and the train is being maintained properly. security operatives were also on standby throughout. it took about 2hours 30mins. I disembarked at Obafemi Awolowo station in moniya. the cab people were charging madly for a trip to university of Ibadan. I later had to pay 800naira from the train station to UI where I then proceeded to the zoo. it was fun but the happiness wasn't complete cos there was no Lion there. On going back to Lagos, the station at moniya was overcrowded and people rushed into the train way ahead of time. a lot of people also occupied the seats of others in some coaches especially in the standard class. the policemen had to intervene. A lot of Nigerians are actually goats in human bodies. it was a nice ride as well and overall I can say the even when the free ride stops, I'll still be paying to get this great experience over and over again. if you still want to board the train, pls do and don't allow rumors from people discourage you. Pls book online 24hrs before and don't buy ticket from anyone at the station to avoid embarrassment. the ride is free pls don't encourage corruption that you have been complaining about.

The online tickets shows fees to be paid. Hope it doesn't matter?

it doesn't matter. all they'll do is scan the QR code on your ticket and you're good to go.

Rather than all these free trains or buses, why can't the Nigerian government give accessible business grants and employment opportunities to the masses? Our problem in Nigeria is poverty. We need money left and right, seriously.
