And so, this past Christmas eve, my son decided he was going to have a the Christmas cruise with his elder brother, @Okizle in Lagos. I advisd him to take the train instead of a road trip and he agreed. To Moniya Station, Ibadan, we headed early in the morning. We got there early
We were there before the arrival of ground crew. I had enough time to exchange views with the security men on ground and the crew when they finally arrived. We took pictures with the team and the security men who were very eager to oblige us.(24-12-2020)
It was time to buy tickets. The process was very orderly, the attendants courteous and the passengers, high and low excited to travel on this train, many discussing and making comparisons with their experiences in Europe and elsewhere. My son bought his first, and others did too.
While we waited for the train to arrive at 7.30am, I took time to take a tour of the construction site with my son @LIGHTHOUSEPICT1 doing the recording
I took pictures while waiting & watching. Met this guy already making brisk business vending hotđŸ”„, steaming coffee in disposable cups @N200/cup. He came early too. He reminded me of d offerings at train stations in Europe & possibilities &in the mega station when completed.
The train finally arrived from its overnight stop 🛑 station at OlĂłgĂșnáșčrĂș or so and I captured the arrival.
Time to board
My wife was excited that this revolution is happening in our lifetimes and Nigerians can finally taste what is taken for granted in the US, China, Europe, Australia and the rest of the civilized world
