Hoodlums vandalize Lagos-Ibadan railway track forcing train movement on the Lagos-Ibadan Railway section to stop in the middle of the bush on Saturday.

Hoodlums activities on the railway track forced train movement on the Lagos-Ibadan Railway section to temporarily stop on Saturday.

Passengers aboard the train which departed the Obafemi Awolowo Train Station in Ibadan at 8:30 am on Saturday, were said to have been forced to stop somewhere before Funmilayo Ransom Kuti, at the Papalanto area, due to the alleged removal of some components on the railway track by some vandals.

A passenger, who is a lecturer at the University of Ibadan, Dr. Feyi Leo, told our correspondent that fear gripped her and other passengers, when the train was forced to stop.

Leo said the train coming from Lagos to Ibadan was also forced to stop in the opposite direction, and the two trains continued the journey after the damaged section had been fixed.

She said, “The trip was smooth and we had gone past the station at Abeokuta — moving towards Papalanto, when the train stopped and reversed some few meters.

“We were agitated and started asking questions. An announcement was made by the NRC official on board that, their technicians were fixing a fault on the track, and that it would not take long.

“True to their word, we left after 20 minutes of stoppage. But I was afraid while the whole thing lasted because of the materials on my laptop. There is no backup, and it would have been a huge loss if anything had happened to my laptop.”

Another passenger, who identified himself as Promise, said, the temporary stoppage caused panic on board the train, but added that, there were armed security agents on board, and with the technicians, who fixed the damaged track.

It was gathered that a similar incident happened two times in January: the trains were forced to stop for about 35 minutes, before they continued with the journey.

This country truly deserve Buhari.

We'll be shouting Politicians ain't doing enough, yet the little they managed to do, we'll still spoil it, and you know whenever a Nigerian Politician does something and it gets spoilt, the repair will be left for the next Regime.

Who knows maybe after Bubu Tenure, he'll come out to say the reason he didn't do much is because he knows whatever he does, Nigerians will spoil it.

Nigeria is blessed with virtually everything, including criminality.
Our government is just a reflection of our society.

The health of a nation can only be good as the health of the family.

Nigerians

We were discussing corrupt politicians at the atm some weeks ago. One dude that met us there just snuck to the front and joined the discussion.

A little whie, he started claiming to be ahead of us.

I was dumbfounded.
People were like, " you were just condemning Buhari now, "

Of course, the government and system is a reflection of the citizens. After all, the governors/government doesn't fall from the sky, they come from among the people.

In a nutshell, we are our own problem and nemesis.

NSCDC is failing in its duty. Considering that NSCDC is expected to be in backwater environments monitoring State assets this should not be happening.

This is why Nigeria can never be good NEVER we are always quick to blame the government for our problems, whereas we are our own problem.
How can people vandalize what will benefit them on the long run, I really fear for our children and the future if we are behaving like this, and we want Nigeria to be as good as Dubai. We really deserve the leaders that are ruling us.

This type of act is synonymous to terrorism, any person or group caught in the act should be sentenced to death without trial.
