This is what Lagosians are greeted with day-in day- out. The sights are usually scary and one can only imagine the number of accidents per week from this appalling condition.
The train connects Lagos to Ota and other parts of the South West. It operates on one track, which means there will not be other train on the track once one is rolling. It is old, dilapidated, uncomfortable and can only be likened to the famous MOLUE of the old. Those standing and sitting on the roof greatly surpass those that sit.
Since the attainment of nationhood by Nigeria, there has not been any serious development on the rail system. The government is trying to come up with a national total train coverage but the effort is still in the drawing board.
Can Nigeria be the 20th economy with this type of transport system?
