All those fucking trains they bought with huge money are all problematic, locomotives are misbehaving, train coaches getting detached, another plan to kill more people. NigeriaGov is a disaster. They do projects not for the benefit of it but for the funds involved Endsars

I don't understand, what kind of stupid reporting is this. Why can't you tell the level of human damage the resulted instead of telling us stupid tales about cows... what a sick media... which is priority to you guys?

Already?😂

you mean buhari's family

I'm pretty sure the president will speak as regards this😒

The newly acquired coach from China I guess?. The fear of Chinese product is the beginning of wisdom. But wait a minute. The animals where moving so close to the rail track?. Haba malam. Mei ni?. Say the truth. The animals derailed the coach. Abi?.

And the human casualties are not too important to make the news but cows can ofcourse.

Why do they have to keep cows on the railway?
