Lagos to Ibadan by rail is like traveling from Nigeria to Libya by road..

To be honest, the awareness was not publicized properly. If six passengers could board the train, I would rather give them money to go board a bus rather than transporting only six passengers to Ibadan. For me, it was one of the wasted resources we are talking about.

They are TESTING the train and the track! Even if there is no passenger, the train will still run

ShegzyB:
A train station without a proper terminal....... dem no even get small shame!!! Why not make a proper terminal complete with payment hubs, toilets, cafeterias, lobbies/waiting halls etc before test-riding....small thing, their body don dey shake to deceive us with 'free ride'....
nonshense an ingrejent!!!

They are testing the train and the track!

Wait o!! Is that the new standard gauge train am seeing in the picture? hope not...

What on earth will someone living in Lagos want to travel to Ibadan for?..I mean how many people travel from Lagos to Ibadan on daily basis? .fg should first of all calculate the population and the need for people plying that route instead of wasting our national resources on projects that is of no importance to the masses?..while majority of se and ss are traders why not build a rail that will connect Lagos to Onitsha so that trailers carrying containers and petroleum products can be transported through the rail?

@ emboldened

Is Iju core Lagos? Stop deceiving yourself, Amechi or what?

Those of us around Yaba - Mushin know that what's on ground cannot be completed January 2020, not to talk of Dec 2019.

Please, journalists come to Yaba - Mushin axis, work is still ongoing, but the report was presented as whole Lagos to Ibadan, it's just unfair!

oh, I was even thinking the takeoff will be from yaba. I wonder where they pass to Iju, that is if we are talking of Iju-Ishaga. From mushin -oshodi-ikeja-agege is still under serious construction. In fact in Agege, there is no rail line as the one that was installed was removed again for construction work on the station. No train is passing this axis anymore for the past three or four months

Lol!!!!!!!! I can't laugh ooooo! Go to any garage in Lagos and see how vehicles going to Ibadan fill up and move almost every 30 minutes. Also, the line will eventually terminate in Kano. This is just a phase of it

its called test run

What are they test-running? Has it not been commissioned?

Why commission a yet to be completed project? It is called insanity

They should complete the damn thing and stop disturbing us on the media.

Building common rail line with old archaic trains has become rocket science

Useless and cursed leaders

It would take time for most passengers to get used to the new system of doing things.

Many people have to start buying houses and building at Ibadan, then while there family is there they take the train from Ibadan to Lagos for work then work till the weekend then take a train back to there various homes, cause with Lagos traffic, there's no way u will take a train to get Ibadan everyday plus traffic and still make it to work

O ye pained children of hate from caused land of Biafra!


There is a reason why Lagos-Ibadan highway is the largest and busiest highway in Africa

its either you dont know what test running is or your are just bitter, even software go through beta testing

its a standard rail use for long journey in UK and US google is your friend

again show us anywhere it was commissioned just tell us the date, a project which its track laying and Mall/ departure wing is just reaching adance stage

Audio train

Is it that you don't just have sense?
The current Nigerian law does not permit private participation in rail transport. If one billion Ibo billionaires come together, they just can't do it for now.
