I have been reading your interview from the beginning of the thread up till now and I must comend your approach to the questions asked and the way you technically handled it. I must admit that although I don't leave in Lagos but lagosians deserve a governor like you as a matter of fact Nigerians deserve bright minds such as yours been elected into leadership positions but the system has been modified to keep folks like you out of these positions by deliberately frustrating your class of persons and its only the ones loyal to Godfathers and the likes that eventually are allowed but nevertheless my prayers are with you and when I come over to Lagos I would love for us to have a sitout as intellectuals on the way forward for our dear country
GRVLagos: I will still be answering questions today, so please keep going people but as we are here I gave answers to alot of questions asked today in this interviews
Thank you very much folake4u for the info, I pray the increase should be because its festive season, and soon after newyear it should revert back to normal abeg
folake4u: I've been convincing my friend in Abuja for a while to give Train ride a chance and he finally did today. He got a cab from Zuba park in Abuja to Itakpe railway station for 5k and boarded the afternoon train.
There's an increase in railway tickets since 5th December,2022. Formerly from Itakpe to Delta State; Economy class is 3k. First class is 5,500.
But now: Economy class is 5k. First class is 9k.
Federal Government wehdone oh.
Pic 1: The former stamp showed 3k but Economy class is 5k now.
Pic 2: New price list.
Price 3: The crowd at Itakpe railway station today. Everyone's travelling for the holidays.
folake4u: There's morning train from Itakpe to Delta State, it leaves Itakpe by 8am. I know of that well. Except if they've stopped it which I'm not aware of right now.
Good morning folake I never knew there was a morning train from itakpe to delta state, I thought it was only one train that plies the route because when I was coming back from abuja they said it was only the afternoon train by 2pm which was coming from delta state that would be available?
folake4u: Hi there. I stated all these on the first page of the thread.
Yes, there's morning train from Itakpe to Delta State. Departure time for morning train is by 8am.
If you want to use the morning train at Itakpe, you have to sleep there overnight at the station or leave Abuja really early,let's say 3am so you'd get to Itakpe railway station at 6/7am, just in time for you to buy tickets and board the train.
neztar: hi, i'm sorry if i come off as carnal. Pls pardon my excesses. I'm a big fan of your interesting diaries. This is not my first time of knowing you. You are one of the females i admired a lot due to your noble qualities. You are free to discard me but i'm crazy about you. But that doesn't mean i'm unserious. I've read all your threads including this one and i've been really impressed. I'm not a bad person. I just like playing alot. At the same time, i'm focused. This is me bearing my heart to you. Hear me out.
Depressed101: please is itakpe to warri still functional? I've been trying to call them to book a ride for 20 Dec. It's been switched off. Also how much is the ride?
why I said no gallops or portholes on the tracks was a nice feeling was because from itakpe to Abuja there was a long stretch that was riddled with port holes and our driver was on speed inside all those hummer bus when don old like everywhere was paining me I imagined going all thru that hell from warrior I for pass out, like the last time I went by road na God abeggg
folake4u: Wetin concern gallops and speed breakers with train? You're funny.
Like all those gallops and speed breakers on normal express way nor dey the feeling was superb omor from now on thats what I'll be using just that I miss stopping in traffic tho
folake4u: Yes. There's ALWAYS occasional stops for other locations. Why speed bumps go dey train na Haba. They sell stuffs inside, yes very correct.
You are very much welcome and the train was quite comfortable like there was no speed bumps nothing aside the occasional stops it was nice like they even sell stuffs in it�
