MY LAGOS TO ABEOKUTA FREE TRAIN RIDE EXPERIENCE By Niyi Tabiti!
I was shocked yesterday when I got to Iju station, Lagos to take a ride in the new train our government launched to Abeokuta. Olasumbo Otagbo and I, anticipated a wonderful ride that will give us so much reportorial and photography material for our travelogue.
Few days earlier, the federal government launched the new train with a promise that Nigerians will get two months free ride to Abeokuta.
On getting to Iju station, there was no train. We only saw caterpillars working there. Aside fun, it would also be a fact finding mission on the seriousness of our government, their promises and reality on ground.
We went to the station office (The place reminded us of the colonial period). Two officials we saw there told us many people have also been that morning but they are sorry, they don’t have information on when the train will start.
They also told us they don’t even have the train schedule yet. One of them pointed to a phone number pasted on the wall. They told us to call later in the week for more information.
Ordinarily, information about the train take off time and so on should be on their website. Looking at each other with shock, Sumbo copied the number as we left…We later settled for public transport to Abeokuta...I met a 59 year old man in the car, who told me his life history- What he did in 1971,1972 and how his father bought their first television in 1975, his grandchildren, about his home town in Ijebu Igbo, about his grandchildren, politics of Remo and Ijebuland, Mike Adenuga and so on.

I CAN CATEGORICALLY STATE WITH FACTS EVERYONE IS PRIVY TO THAT NIGERIA WILL HARDLY BE BETTER IF A MIRACLE DOES NOT HAPPEN.
Imagine a promise was made for a free train ride and over a week after two persons have reported a failure in this promise yet some youths came in here to call these witnesses wailers.
This reporter gave credence to the fact that work is ongoing there as seen from here description that caterpillars were at work of which it is true that the FG of PMB is actually working on the rail but failed on the promise of a free train ride.
Now, imagine that our politicians rush on to complete projects and make promises they cannot keep all cos they ain't patriots but are pretenders who have no deep positive intentions for this country.
Why the bogus promises?
A govt that made lots of promises but denied later and still has continued same.
Yet some of us Nigerians cannot tell ' em the truth.
Whether wailers or hailers, Naija na our own and if we don't get it better, we'll all sink.
Either APC nor PDP, ALL I WANNA SAY IS THAT THEY DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT US.
