Let me show you all an abandoned rail line that was meant to serve the industrial hub in Ikeja especially Oba Akran - Guiness, Nigerian Textile, Dunlop, Nigerian wire, Wahum, label metal, Tower Aluminum, Berger paints, vita foam, May & Baker, cap plc, cocoa industries..

Mouka foam, Nigerite, intercontinental Distillers ( makers of Chelsea dry gin ) , Neimeth - not sure if they still exist..

That's the abandoned rail line, the rail line was meant to haul cargo from the port through Yaba, jibowu, mushin, Agege, Ikeja to this industrial hub..
It has been abandoned now we have trucks everywhere in ikeja with containers..

Looking at that rail line, in this state should bring tears to everyone's eye. How we abandoned infrastructure for years, living on a rent economy with a false sense of growth and development. The abandoned rail line is on the road beside Guinness, there are several ones too..

This is Dunlop!! Moribund, abandoned..It used to be the biggest Tyre plant in west Africa with Michellin. Nigeria today is the largest importer of tyres in Africa, Nigeria is still the largest market for new and used tyres in Africa.

Visit Oba Akran and take a stroll through the factory and estimate how many jobs were lost due to bad economic policies of the previous administration.

When people show up on twitter to share unguarded sentiments, I get annoyed honestly..shey we be small pikin?

If you take a tour of Oba Akran and Ikeja abandoned rail infrastructure and the moribund companies that used to employ thousands of Nigerians, you will tear any umbrella you come across..

You won't sleep for days I bet you..

Why are trailers on the road? No they won't, carry the container on your head na..
