Are we human at all?

May God save Nigeria from Nigerians

The picture attached was taken inside the Buhari train after Papa Lantoro in Abeokuta axis by a passenger traveling from Ibadan to Lagos on the 1st of January 2024. Can you see how the coach is virtually empty at a time it was absolutely free of charge to travel by train?

You would ask where were the passengers? They were not allowed to book, so many of them were stranded while some opted to travel by commercial transport buses and pay high rates because of the ongoing festivities after they failed to book train tickets...

The Federal Government in her bid to help mitigate the cost of transportation during Yuletide season made train trips free of charge. However, people were always not able to book seats because it was always totally booked. If it was always totally booked, where then were the passengers that the coaches were always empty?

Read the experience of a passenger:

"I was filled with happiness and gratitude to the Federal Government of Nigeria when it was announced that train trips would be free of charge during this festive period. I was already racking my brain about how I would take my family of six to my town in Oyo for Christmas and new year. My earlier arrangement was banked on the Federal Government's promised wage awards of N35K but even normal salary was not paid let alone the wage awards. We were paid only once for the month of September and I don't know when others would be paid or if it would be paid at all. You can imagine how happy I was to get my family to Ibadan without paying for it!

I tried to book tickets online but it was fully booked. We postponed the journey and the following day, it was fully booked again. Then we woke up very early in the morning the following day and got to train station before dawn. We hoped to book tickets at the station but they told me it was fully booked again. As I stood perplexed, the official told me he could help me get the tickets if I was willing to pay a token. I asked how would it be possible when the seats were totally booked? He replied that he knew someone who had already booked but is no more traveling. Then I understood!

Some unscrupulous staff of the NRC who were privy to the time the booking portal would be available would have booked all available spaces with the intention of selling the tickets to desperate travelers like myself. In that way, they would make some money and the acclaimed free trip wouldn't be free but fares reduced. I left disappointed."

Another person's experience:

"I was traveling back from Ibadan to Lagos with my kids on the 1st of January 2024. I would resume back to work the following day so I tried booking the free train seats. It was fully booked! Then someone told me there were three seats left for Ibadan to Abeokuta so I booked the seats with the intention of alighting at Abeokuta and continue my journey by commercial buses. However I noticed that most of the seats were empty so I decided not to alight at Abeokuta but continue the journey. After Papa Lantoro, I noticed that the seats were still empty. Infact, the whole lots of us who were passengers in the train could not fill up only two coaches.the rest seats of six coaches were empty. Having realized what happened, I decided to take these pictures!"

Government ran the free trips with fuel and other logistic needs but some selfish and wicked staff decided to deny us of the opportunity and eventually turned the palliative investment to waste.

May God save Nigeria from Nigerians!

KISS ME GOODBYE: Episode 1

Japa, a Nigerian slang derived from the Yoruba language that simply means to run or to escape. In recent times, Japa has become a thing not just in Nigeria but in different countries in Africa. People Japa for different reasons: better jobs, better schools, better social amenities, better quality of life. At the end of the day, everyone is simply looking for greener pastures, but the question is, is the grass really greener on the other side? Shhh! Not so fast. You probably already have an answer to that question but don’t be in a hurry to say it just yet, fasten your seatbelts, we’re about to go on a very interesting journey, so save your answer because when we get back, you might just be singing a different song.
Our flight Captain is Chinedu popularly known as Japanedu, the Japa ambassador himself. Chinedu works as a ticketing officer in one of the popular international airlines, his office is at the airport. Everyday he watches people follow the path to paradise that he so desperately wishes to follow but has never gotten the opportunity to. He is pretty much like a sign post, leading people to their destination but never making it there himself. Chinedu has tried everything possible to leave the country to no avail, he has tried relocating to almost all the countries you can think of from England to the United States to Canada, Portugal, Brazil and even Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Oh! You thought that was the name of a church didn’t you? It’s actually the name of a country in the Carribeans. With the way Chinedu is carrying on with his relocation mission, it will be no surprise if he eventually ends up on planet Mars.
Our Co-pilot on this journey is none other than Deji, the second in command in the Association of citizens waiting to Japa. Unlike Chinedu, Deji is married with two kids, ordinarily, Deji is indifferent about migrating abroad, he is more than satisfied with his banking job that pays him six figures but his wife Ama has vowed to make his life a living hell if he does not ensure they relocate before the end of the year. Ama is Ghanaian, she met Deji when he traveled to Ghana for his studies,they started dating in their final year and continued a long distance relationship for about a year after graduation. Ama never really wanted to move to Nigeria, she didn’t want to leave the sanity of the peaceful Accra to live in the crazy, unpredictable city of Lagos. Before getting married, they had a long debate about where to live and eventually both agreed that whoever got a job first would determine where they would live. Unluckily for Ama, Deji landed his job at the bank first and since it was a permanent job with great prospects, she had no choice than to agree to move to Lagos with him. She hated living in Lagos and found it difficult to cope with the hustle and bustle that came with it. Jumping on the Japa bandwagon was her opportunity to make sure that she finally escaped from Lagos with her family.
We have two lovely air hostesses on this journey, Gloria the ‘small girl with big gods’ and Dunni who happens to be Deji’s younger sister. Dunni is popularly known as Sugar, as a matter fact some people don’t even know her real name because everyone calls her Sugar. Sugar is a successful young lady who owns a business where she sells human hair extensions and make up products. She’s the kind of lady you would describe as a very eligible spinster, beautiful, hardworking, domesticated and financially independent. She’s been in a relationship with her boyfriend Michael for 3 years, but somehow he just hasn’t put a ring on it. It’s safe to assume that he may have hypermetropia which is popularly known as long-sightedness. For those who don’t know, hypermetropia is a condition where objects that are far away can be seen clearly whereas objects that are closer appear blurry or not very clear. Perhaps, Michael was unknowingly suffering from this condition because it was difficult to tell why he would have such a beautiful and successful woman right under his nose and still not know what to do with her. Hypermetropia occurs when your eyeball is shorter than normal causing images to be focused behind your retina rather than being focused on the retina like it should be in a normal eye. It can be corrected using prescription lenses or laser eye surgery.
In Case you’re wondering why Gloria was referred to as a ‘small girl with big gods,’ let’s just say she uses her feminine arsenal to her advantage, she only dates rich older married men because she believes that building wealth with a man is a waste of her precious time, she would rather date a man who was already wealthy even if it meant sharing him with his wife or other women, as long as he was constantly crediting her bank account. She’s currently dating Chief Victor, the owner of one of the largest microfinance banks in the country, she met him about 6 months ago when one of her regular pimps introduced her to him, of course, after learning about his status in the society, she hooked him tight like a fish that swallowed bait and has refused to let him go ever since.
Now that we have you on board with all our crew members, boarding is now officially complete. The aircraft doors have now been shut. It's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the flight, as the plane is about to hit the runway for take off.

Find out what happens tomorrow evening in episode 2. #checkwithdoctoro

@arojinle1 Wow, can't believe this😳, since two weeks ago, I have been thinking of snapping this and send it to you to tell us what they are, because I have been seeing them all around since I was younger.
Thanks so much for this, now I know what they are.
Keep up the good work👏👍

2013, i just finished IT. I was in my room in Shomolu that day looking at the ceiling. That is like the 346th time i counted that ceiling that morning. I didn't have anything to eat. I was not expecting any money. I was terribly broke.

It looked like a general thing because my neighbors that I would have whined to give me food didn't have anything to cook too. It was terrible. No one to call. No one to talk to.

I didn't know how to beg, i just stayed indoor inside heat with no light.

Then the miracle happened. I received a call from the office where I finished IT. One of my good friends in the office, Lekan was on the line.

"Hello Lola, we can't find your account number, AO said we should send you 20k". AO is the acronym of my then boss name.

I quickly asked "what's the money for?"

He replied "He just came in now and said we should send you 20k"

I was not expecting it. He was not owing me. That 20k saved me that period. I cried after receiving alert which was immediate. I felt like a king.

Miracles do happen.
