Media girl, Bolanle Olukanni has been musing over her recent train ride experience to Ibadan from Lagos, and going by experience, it was a worthwhile and reliable trip to take.
Taking to her Instagram on Tuesday to narrate how she try something new instead of taking and enduring the
horrendous journey of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway that’s still under construction, this route is one more people should explore.
She wondered how many things, as a people, we are enduring in life, when we could take another way
Read her experience: “I took the train to Ibadan, and it’s 2 hours and 40 minute journey. I could have driven and taken the roads-its a 1:30-2 hour drive …well that’s if there is no traffic , no trailer broken down -basically no Naija factor. But here is the thing -the road is unpredictable , it’s uncomfortable, it’s chaotic and I wanted to try something new. Although the train ride is almost double the road time, it’s guaranteed to arrive in 2 hours and 40 minutes. It maybe take a longer time but it’s reliable.
“The interesting thing is a lot of people aren’t aware the trains are working and we have all been enduring the horrendous journey of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway that’s still under construction. Whereas there has been another way for sometime. I wonder how many things we are enduring in life when we could take another way. A more reliable way. A possibly longer route but a guaranteed one? #musings.”
