RECEPTIVE IN A SUICIDAL WAY?



Suicidal Ride!

................................EXTRACT......................
A ride on the Nigerian Railway Corporation’s many trains, particularly in Lagos, can be an adventure full of fun
but rich in the absurd, even the unexpected. Perhaps nothing can be more bizarre than seeing many passengers
hanging and sitting precariously on the roof of fast moving trains.
..........................................................................
Deadly According to investigations by Daily Sun, during the morning and evening rush hours,
there is probably no difference between the NRC’s coaches and the ubiquitous and
notorious Lagos molue buses, which are now becoming extinct.
...............................................................................
Bola, who works on Lagos Island, noted that many passengers riding on the roofs do so
not because they don’t have money to buy their tickets.
“Those people you see there actually bought their tickets.

They have valid tickets which they purchased from the railway stations.
But they prefer to sit on the roof of the train to catch some fun because the spot
offers them unlimited freedom to smoke Indian hemp and even enjoy hard drugs.
Out there they also catch some fresh air,” he informed.

He further revealed that because of the vantage position the train’s roof offers the hooligans,
“the ticket masters dare not go there. Not even the police. Dem no born them well.
Those hoodlums will throw them down if they dare.”

Mr. David Ndakotso, an Assistant Director, Public Relations, Nigerian Railway Corporation
said the practice was condemnable. “But this has two dimensions,” he submitted.

“It shows how receptive people are to our services.
