Question of the day: What would you do left alone at a train station?

Here's the question and please answer sincerely. You're on holiday in a foreign country (by yourself) and you miss the last train (midnight) that would have taken you back to your hotel. You're left with only two options; 1. Sleep by yourself at the train station (with no one else around) till daybreak or 2; lodge at the only hotel around the train station...unfortunately its a five-star hotel and the cheapest room there is $2,000 (N320k a night). Bear in mind that you're a regular salary earner...you don't even earn up to N300k a month...but the train station is notorious for violent attacks and is close to a dangerous hood. Which option would you take?

  15. I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO THE 5 STAR HOTEL AND PREPARE A BIG SPACE TO SLEEP RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL TILL DAY BREAK, SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD TO SLEEP INSIDE THE HOTEL,ITS MORE SAFER THAN SLEEPING AT THE TRAIN STATION.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hahaaaaa,linda,dis is a tight one ooo. Since d train station is highly prone to violence,I would go to d nearest hotel,explain my odeal to d management and plead with dem to allow me pass d nyt there.since I can't afford to pay dt sum

    ReplyDelete
  17. That price of the hotel is too high for a regular salary earner, I will just look for a night club close by where I can go and have fun all through the night.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Linda ohhhh.I pray not 2b in that kind of situation

    ReplyDelete

  22. Here is what I would do: I will walk up to the 5 star hotel and chill in there lobby till the train starts moving again. In most standard Hotels nobody would harass you in the lobby.

    infact, you can even explain to the front desk people your plight and they will allow you to chill at the lobby. chi ke na

  26. No need to bring this question here we don't have train station may don't have train experience ,you may ask if i travel to some place around the country and the bus got to destination late what do i do ,that question would be better.

  35. I will go to d hotel and sleep by their corridor

    ReplyDelete
  36. Worst case, Go to the hotel and sleep close to the wall, opposite it,or close to the gate. At least, if you get in trouble, you can shout help and may bet some from the hotel security. $2000 is a lot for one night, i am sure the hotel has taxi services as well, and would cost you less than $200 to get one to take you to your supposed hotel.

    Train is not the only means of transportation.

  40. Stupid question. If you can get to the five star hotel, then you can get to a safe place to call a taxi and go home. There is more than one mode of transport in the world.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Honest Truth be Told, I'd Sleep at the Train Station praying all night to see the dawn of the next day unharmed.

    ReplyDelete
  45. There's no choice here, you have said it all, sleeping by the train station isn't like u had a choice, the issue is, there is no money to sleep in the 5 freeking star hotel...

    ReplyDelete
  46. Sleep at d train station,praying for safety and also wondering what will happen next.....

    ReplyDelete
  47. No matter how the situation is there can never be two options! Will go knocking on people house until one let's me in! Daybreak I give who ever let's me in $100 as a way of saying thanks .

    ReplyDelete
  53. Linda, dis is a 1 option question, u said u re a regular income earner so u dont even have d money to lodge, so d only option is to sleep in d train station and cover urself with d blood of Jesus... shikena

    ReplyDelete
  54. This makes no sense, there are a million ways to get out of this situation Linda

    ReplyDelete
  55. Ill sit at the lobby of the hotel all night. Shikena

  57. I would go to the hotel and sleep in the car park, reception, or somewhere in its environs.I aint sleeping in no damn train station all by myself when its notorious for violence

    ReplyDelete
  58. If i have the second option in hand i will rather go for it...

    ReplyDelete
  59. Pray and wait for a miracle.lin,sure say no b u?(Lol)

    ReplyDelete
  60. A five star hotel should have a 24 hour bar or restaurant, go there and buy yourself the cheapest drink. Make sure you drink slowly till the next train comes.

    or, You could also call cab.

    But if you are stranded with no money, just start a vigil at the station.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Don't even wanna think or imagine it. #God forbid#

    ReplyDelete
  62. Question makes no sense really... You should simply go to the lobby of the five star hotel and wait till the morning.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I don't think this question is viable enough. In Europe alone there's an affordable hotel in close proximity to the train station, this is to allow low salary earners afford to lodge in the hotel. But I guess to answer your question it is best to sleep at the train station or call a cab to take you to another cheap hotel (there's internet so you can definitely browse for one)

    ReplyDelete
  64. Simple as ABC.....g to the hotel lobby, sit and pretend to wait for someone, get a newspaper to read....if tired, since its a 5 star, there will be a club, bar,etc....before you know it...its morning.....its called street sense, no school will ever teach you this.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Call a taxi!!!1 At least there's internet of my phone to get a taxi number......and I will pay the taxi when I get back to my hotel.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Sleep on the street, close to a police station.Above ground

    ReplyDelete
  67. Linda which kind of options be this?Taxi or bus done finish?Taxi no get closing time ooo

    ReplyDelete
  68. Toh, I will go to the hotel and sleep in their car park .

    ReplyDelete
  69. I could club @ d hotel, @ least I can pay for ma drink. I can also expain ma suituation to a some persons who cud give me a ride or wud knw a place I wud be safe

    ReplyDelete
  70. None of d above. I'll I rather take a local cab 2 my destination.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Which train station? Are you asking that to London people or Nigerians??

    ReplyDelete
  72. Life is abt taking risk. I will sleep at the train station, although the station is known for notorious attacks and close to a dangerious neighbourhood, with no one else around but just me at the train station that night, guess am safe and chances of me being attacked are highly minimal.

    ReplyDelete
  73. LOL! Linda tell me you got stranded at a railway station in London? Best option in such scenarios is to hail a cab to any hostel or B'n'B...then continue your journey next morning! BTW hope ur enjoying London?

  91. It's common sense Linda! Since u can get out if the station to find the nearest hotel den u are not trapped inside, so dat means u can get out and get a cab that will take u to ur own hotel....so u don't have only 2 options like u mentioned

  96. I'd rather pray to God for safety and sleep by myself than sleeping in the five star hotel. Nothing will happen that night cos I've asked God to take charge. Cos I won't treck back to my country u know. Sleeping there would also scare the dangerous ones cos there don't know what I am up to by sleeping there all alone. #boldness

When you don't have money or valuables with you to earn you hotel or to fear about the boys; you are already there in your bed till morning.

  107. Thank God you said a 5 star hotel. all 5tar hotels i knw of always have a walk in sitting area. and no body questions u if u order a drink or who you are waiting for.

    and so, i would sit there and pray the day breaks as quickly as possible.

    the time of wait shld be approximately 5-6hrs as the last train is mostly arrd half 12am and and first train is 6 or half 6am.

    hope i have made a lil sense sha!

  149. it's a five-star hotel, so at least there will be tight security set-up. if they won't allow a passage of the night in their reception then sleep close-by to the hotel where if there is disturbance by the hoodlums you can easily run to the protection of the security guards. or better still call a car hire service that you know to come pick you up at least that will be reasonable and affordable. there can be no other luxurious option for that night...

  155. Take a cab to a safer place or ring the police or emergency for assistance. Dnt sleep there. It's even better to walk towards the center of the town even though it would take hours to get there. And dnt walk alone in Florida at nite if u are not from here.

  156. I will go to that hotel, sit in the lobby, order a bottle of water, sit there and nurse it till dawn. No one can ask you to leave. After all you bought a drink. If I feel sleepy I doze off and on. Stroll around small, read a magazine, go to the bar which they will have, at least burn like $100 its better than that train station. All na brain you need. And don't forget they work 24hrs, so u will survive till like 5am then find your way.

  169. The hotel will have a bar. Having 3-5 drinks over the course of the night is a cheaper and safety option.

    ReplyDelete
  183. Linda its no big deal, get into the hotel and look for their porters corner and crash for the night or sit @ their lobby and pretend to be working/waiting for someone, when ts late they'll personally offer u a corner to crash cause they dont want u to get into wrong hands, thats why ts always necessary to dress appropriately all times cause they can differentiate an ashi, from a craze woman and a sincere stranded woman
    if u sleep at the train station, its either u get killed by a racist or raped by hoodlums
    the choice is urs!

  187. it's already a five star hotel, and i am a seven star wise man.
    The only option left for me is to work straight to the five star hotel as a wise man to hang out with the rich men at the bar.even collect my contacts from them till morning.

    Must i be a mugu to sleep at the train station at that very hour because of $2k ?

    wise man is wise man.
