The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has reacted to a trending video showing how its standard guage train got stuck due to insufficient fuel between Ibadan and Lagos on Thursday.

NRC Managing Director, Fidet Okhiria, explained to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Thursday night that the incident was caused by fuel gauge failure on the passenger train service.

The NRC boss also explained that passengers coming to Lagos from Ibadan through the standard gauge train were not stranded as the matter was resolved with an hour.

“The train gauge had an issue while the engineers thought the diesel in the train tank would take them to Lagos.

“The train gauge was not reading correctly, so by the time they started moving, the driver discovered that there is no sufficient diesel in the train.

“Immediately they discovered the challenge, they responded quickly and under an hour they were able to get drum of diesel to fill the tank and continued the journey back to Lagos,” Okhiria said.

NAN reports that a standard gauge train from Ibadan to Lagos was reportedly stuck while convening passengers to Lagos from Ibadan station on Thursday.

Next time, apply dipstick for confirmation.

What if there were a dearth of diesel or even worse, unavailable? Would the passengers have slept on the tracks in the middle of nowhere?

It's time we took things seriously in this country.

After how many days?

Fuel gauge don start to dey malfunction at this stage ?

Hopefully there won't be a repeat of this especially for train gauges that will be unfortunate to pass through Kebbi and Niger State forest ...

A train FG is yet to finish paying the loan

This is for the youngsters who live in the illusion that telecoms and data would be better if run by a government company. You can see the casual indifference where the idiot says it was just an hour. And this is from the oga at the top

Those peddling tribalistic news and commenting hateful comments on it, are neither real Yoruba’s nor igbos, this are people typing from their villages, most of them depend on hunting to be able to feed, someone said real men have already left nairaland for children and nonentities who have nothing else to do with their lives than hate and blame others for their hopeless lives, We are what we think of others, it takes some degree of hatred to type most of the things this guys type without remorse, my Yoruba guys are lovely people, very accommodating an fun to be around, am stuck with nairaland cause I ve been using this platform for years, when it was fun, we don’t hate each other, we refuse to hate each other, when a learned Igbo man comments u will know, stop letting these nonentities define igbos or Yoruba’s for u, most of them who are pained and live their whole life online, looking for one give away or cheap scam to indulge in, I mean this people should not tell u what to think of other tribes, I refuse to hate the Yoruba’s, we all have our flaws, but hatred never solved even one problem in the world!,
Say no to tribalism
I love my Yoruba brothers
Same goes to my northern brothers!
We where amalgamated for a reason even though we have not found the reason yet!
I don’t know the solution but hatred z definitely not the answer

Am an advocate of peace at least that favors everyone, if Tinubu have what it takes to becomes Nigeria’s next president, then calling him Tinubu on nairaland will definitely change nothing, let’s be sincere, the person who becomes the next president have no direct impact on any individual, if tinubu will move Nigeria forward, that means everybody in Nigeria is moving forward, stop dividing the south with ur hateful comment, abum nwafo Igbo, and if the approach igbos want to use to challenge tinubu is calling him Tinubu on nairaland, that means igbos have no fucking plan, if u want to criticize someone, why not criticize him constructively, not telling him to go wear him pampers, yes it’s the turn of igbos, so what are igbos doing about it, I mean what are we Actually doing about it, do we get it by insulting other candidates, well, na kids full here claiming igbos, and some people actually think that is how igbos behave, mtchww, to igbos, shut the f up and make a solid plan, if u like tell tinubu to go wear pampers, come 2023 he will be the next president, except u actually do something about it, atleast to get a fighting chance, this was how we insulted buhari in 2015, knowing he was not gonna do anything, but he became the president cause all we ever did was insult him online, Go get ur fucking pvc, fucking mofos
