Some passengers were spotted sitting on the floor and armrests during a train ride from Kaduna to Abuja. According to a journalist; Ifeanyi Charles Nwoko who shared this, the passengers were subjected to this because the train officials hoard the tickets to sell in the black market. Read what he shared below;

Kaduna to Abuja on train. People sitting on the floor and armrests but the first class is empty because officials hoard the ticket to sell in the black market. This is how we would destroy this infrastructure with our own hands then turn around and blame govt or say Jonathan didn't build it well. I hope the visit of the minister would have put and end to this nonsense.

This is serious.
I hope d relevant authorities r seeing these pics.

A country where everybody claims to be sharp-man.

1. These seats are not first class seats of the Lagos-Kaduna trains. I have been in them so I know. The only time the first class seats are"headed" is when the the train leaves the Idu station in Abuja. Some seats are reserved for passe. Gers at Kubwa station. But this is not the first class coach

2. Those seats are not empty. You see them from the back and think so because the chairs are large and you can seat in them and be totally covered

3. The problem of people standing is due to corrupt officials who sell even after being out of tickets. I remeber during my trip, theu collected cash from some people.

4. Some managers were recently fired for doing 3 above.

5. More coaches are needed along with more trips; this is the only thing that can stop ticketers collecting money after the tickets have been sold out. If passengers know if they miss the 7am train, there is another at 11am and 4pm, they will be less inclined to pay to stand. Also if there are more coaches, there will be more seats for people

Not empty
Over crowded

You are somehow right, when I checked the pictures again and again

Baawaa:

See people just like to write lies for attention

you may be right... but must that be the only scenario... you are not in a better position to explain what happened than the person who took the pictures. YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM HIS.

First question is

Who are they hoarding it for? Once the train keaves Kubwa, there isn't a loading station in Abuja of prominence so it is all sold by the time they leave kubwa.

And look at those seats again, do they look empty?

What the managers are guilty of is selling after they are out of tickets because that money is not accounted for and they share it amongst thenselves

Hausa girls can fine eh!

Just look at this elegant queen seating on the floor.










but the thing is - if u like your life don't go near hausa women - especially whn u r not one of those that knock head.

in fact even if u knock head and u r not hausa don't just take the risk - its not worth it especially when u find ur kidney or your heart has been dagger-ed bc of toto!




the sad thing is - their men keep enjoying our christian girls freely without fear of assault!

Just like in lecture theaters.... Just keeping space in case someone you know walks in...

But in this case...waiting for the rich dudes so they can make more money... "Get rich by all means modafvckers"

This one just weak me.

Can anything good come out of this SAINTLY Administration?

Some people will still blame buhari for this

What the officials done is wrong and they should be reprimanded for it.... but...

....us Nigerians should learn to have respect and honour for ourselves. No one should have agreed to sit on the floor.

Imagine everybody on the floor rejected that option the officials we learn to treat people with a little bit more respect.

Don't agree to sit on the floor!!!

This ppl them like sitdone ground normally.

Corruption is not a crime, it becomes a crime when you refuse to invest the money for more productive ventures

corruption in every sector... SMH

overbooked

Buhari government is not corrupt I hear

Maybe they're first class seats.

If you don't pay for first class, why do you want to sit in first class?

Truly, those seats are not empty...like someone said above, they are big enough to cover your heads from behind...

. Gud observation. All I can deduce from this is that more people re now patronizing this method of transport Nd over crowding may occur from time to time. All the government need to do is to provide for more.

You get what you can afford. The seats whether empty or not, the average Nigerian would wonder why he would pay extra #1000 for V.I.P when regular is #250

There's someone's leg at the second to the last row.
