Parddie: I hold the opinion that most people do not read nor get a hang of the issue before commenting on this forum. There is nothing absolutely wrong with this design and the rail tracks covered the whole of Lagos. I think most people still have their okada mentality, where they expect even a train to take them to their door step or they are still mistaking train coaches for cars, since they most likely haven't seen one before. For my over bloated ego V.I people, you will take the green line and change to the red line coaches at the terminus at marina for your final trip to your ldear and lovely warehouses called airports where you will board your life threatening flights in your ill maintained aircrafts. Tell me as planned as Abuja is, is there anything close to what this man is doing? This man is transforming one of the most densely populated and unplanned land mass in the world. This is the most difficult job for even the best urban town planner in the world, yet this is being done in a world class fashion and and as a model for even the developed world, give credit to what is right and to who ever deserves it. Tell me any government in Nigeria, including the federal government, that provides world class 21st century solution to a century old accumulated challenges like the Lagos state government. This guy solves problem the way it will be solved in newyork,moscow, Beijing, carlifornia or hong kong. This should be an educative and informative forum, where facts are discussed and not an avenue for emotional outburst or expression. Rest my case .

Rhino.5dm:
This kind news dey give all these internet mongrels sleepless night. Eko oni ba je

ba7man: I still can't see what fashola is doin in Lagos, the pictures are likely photoshoped. SMH for ACN propaganda. He should pay a visit to Delta state and see the great works the Governor is doin there.

ogoebube: Which Delta , the one in your dreams, don't be decieved, nothing is happening in Delta.

na_joke:

cool down, read the post very well and u will see the sarcasm, he is actually yabbing them and praising BRF

Sincere 9gerian: I can see the ACN goons are popping champagne over "commencement" of laying of rail tracks 6yrs into the 8yr regime of Fashola. Is this not the same project that would have been completed by Jakande in the mid 80's if not for the coup by Buhari and his gang?
Anyway, I send my fecilitations too. It is better late than never

geeez: This is nothing compared to Enugu monorail which is completed and we are waiting for the governor to commission the project when he returns. The rail lines have been built and the trains running as you can see

Bros, the Enugu Monorail is 3 years plus away from completion. The contractor, Transglobim Nigeria Limited & Globim Corporation, Canada only just advertised Tenders for construction in April 2012 (http://tenders.nigeriang.com/construction-tenders-in-nigeria/construction-of-phase-1-of-the-enugu-monorail-transit-system-at-transglobim-nigeria-limited-globim-corporation-canada/6704/)

geeez:

I am typing this from inside the train in Enugu now. How can you say it's far from completion when it moves 3m passengers per day? Nna be very careful

[b]3m passengers per day

topazjosh: you may be right that fasola is not trying when the allocation is bn consider but are you sure you know what photoshop is?don't you know difference btw real pics and photoshop smh.

Josh090: Sarcasm seems to elude a lot of people on here
Jakende was such a visionary whatever happened to Lagos after him that made d city such a mess?

edoyad: ba7man was trying to be sarcastic but to be honest the manner he expressed it could easily pass as criticism. Sarcasm usually contains a tinge of humour or the ridiculous, which were evidently absent from his post. Some Nairalanders here are known for condemning any projects executed in other states.

Guk:

[b]3m passengers per day You must be competing wt London Underground that moves 3.6m/weekdays! Where are the 3m all heading to by the way?? & how dare you ride on the train that has not bn commissioned by our Governor??

naptu2:

(I'll start with the issue that annoys me the most)

1) Military governments completely violated town planning (particularly zoning) laws (approving commercial developments in residential areas, etc). Reason = corruption.

2) The LSTC (which had air-conditioned buses, free scholars buses for school kids, etc) was run aground by corrupt officials (coaster buses that were in perfect working condition were listed as being beyond repair, etc). Again. . .corruption.

3) Influx of people into Lagos which overstretched infrastructure.

4) The Federal Government owned/own properties/infrastructure in Lagos, but drastically reduced spending on these facilities after 1991.

5) The extreme unitary system that is implemented during military rule.

And a host of other reasons.
