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 felicitations too. It is better late than never

geeez:

I travel three times a day on these trains. I have friends that travel up to five times. How is 3m not feasible? We lead in the SE, others follow. Onitsha rail is also completed and its the fastest in Africa at 200miles an hour. It runs on a 50km suspension bridge and three underground lines totaling 88km. Where else in Nigeria does that happen? Yoruba people answer me

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

taharqa: lol...no govt in d history of Nigeria, except perhaps during colonial times, is doing as much work in d railways sector than d present FG. No govt, past or present, is even close; only d Abuja-kaduna standard railline mks dis one look like child's play, lol...... Anyways, we shldnt be unnecessary comparing. Fashola is doing very well in pursuing dis project, which am convincd will be completd (at least parts of it) in late 2014-2015; it wud be great for Lagos and Nigeria in general.....

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 .

I thought they said it is a world bank project? Pls clarify. I don't know and want to know.

banki:

oh stop this nonsense the nigerian railway have a prorgamme they air on tv every week how come all the credit to the railway projects seem to be going to objs government and not your goodluck propaganda.....

i know you wish it were your principal that was doing this project, but he just cant think in that line.... was he not also governor of a state that has serious need for a great transport sysytem, he never concieved that kind of project he never even embarked on any meaninful project as governor or deputy governor..... oh sorry he embarked on the 16 floor bayelsa hotel project........and sylva didnt complete it so he was booted out! iknow when you sit down in your quite time you kick your self and wish it was jonathans government that was doing this,

other governments built the rail tracks in nigeria and they worked, all this government needs to do is to fix the tracks and revamp the railway system no one needs them to embark on any major project, when i was younger my parents stayed in zaria and my elder sister was in school in owerri.... it was a common sight to follow my folks to the train station and watch my sister go back to school in owerri with lots of her school mates, it was not rocket science then.....this was in 1989/1990.......

taharqa: @banki, i HATE Propaganda with every fibre of my being and can only say dat you are a FOOOL for quoting my comment and spitting d thrash u just did cos of yr HATRED for a man. 'All credit for the ongoing railway work goes to OBJ' according to a TV show? OBJ? Are you aware that virtuali no train movd during d 8yrs that OBJ ruld this nation? Are u aware that he did rehabilitate any of d already dilapilitatd tracks anywhere in d country? The rehabilitatn of d main Lagos-Kano startd in 2009 by Yar'adua and had barely gotten up to 15% b4 he died d nx yr leaving most of d work and d rehabilitatn of d entire rail spurs off dis main line to GEJ to complete- the main line has just bn finishd last month, just as its entire spur raillines that branches off it have/is been rehabilitatd by GEJ. The rehabilitatn of d even longer PH-Maiduguri rail line and its many spur lines startd in 2011 by GEJ and massive work is bn done as i speak as people along dat route wud tell you- trains wud surely move on dat line b4 d end of d yr. The Standard guage Ajaokuta-Aladja-Warri rail line dat startd since 1991 and abandond many times has virtuali bn completd today by GEJ who laid a new track from Agbor to warri and rehabilitatd sm parts of d track from Agbor tru Ore to Ajaokuta- a test train carrying d Min of Transport ran tru dis new path last yr and but for the navigational and buildings structure left shld hv bn completd by now. The actual constructn work of d Standard guage Abuja-Kaduna rail line that began in Feb 2011 by GEJ (though d contract was signd by Yar'adua in 2009) has not stop 1 day since then as you can testify since you say you live in Abuja, and is already more than 50% completd. The Abuja rail way project which yes began unda OBJ but was later abandond cos of funding concerns has bn restartd by GEJ afta resolving d funding issue for d entire project, and work is going apace by d Chinese contractor as you can also testify as an Abuja resident dat u say u are. The Double track Lagos-Ibadan Standard guage was startd last yr by GEJ; just as Feasibility studies for 7 new proposd routes to obtain d necessary data without which private investors wud not enter d railway sector was also given by GEJ. MOST of d wagons and locomotives bn usd today by NRC was eida FINALLY bought by GEJ or contractd by him. Yet u cud open yr mouth and say dat 'GEJ is not doing anything..he just cant think in dat line'? Hv you no DECENCY, not even a little, left? You wud allow HATRED mk u descend to dis level....*Just Disgusting*

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.

Lascom1: When will Nigerians be contented with good leaders. Someone is doing well like that and you've still unable tn see what he is doing.

Eko Ile: When are they going to do something like this on the mainland? Must this be on the island. Fashola hate the poor.

adebayosun02:

Pls check, those area, Okomaiko Ijora e.t.c. are they Not Mainland?

Omo_Tier1:
You are a serial, ALL railway rehabilitation projects in Nigeria today were conceived during Obasanjo's second tenure. The Lagos to Kano rail line modernization project was awareded to the chinease construction firm by Obasanjo through a loan facility by the Chinease government. His would not forgive your love for lies by ignoring the uproar during the late Yardua government that led to the contract being cancelled.

I am no fan of Obasanjo, but some of the projects He began in His second term had it been He started them in His first term, Nigeria would not have been left with a President like GEJ.

I have said it, if Fashola decides to run for President in 2015, I will organize for funds for His campaign! This is one project that would change Lagos.

babapupa:

Yes I checked, they are not on the island, is ijora and okokomaiko not on the island where the elites live. Stop defending fashola and his anti people policies.

Enough is Enough..

ba7man: wow!! Just that short exercise in sarcarstic commenting really seperated the "boys" from the "men" in the ability to reason. No wonder there are a lot of arguements on NL. Damn!!
