ba7man: Do you know how much G.E.J gets per barrel of Oil sold in this country?? Why do you think they all want to die in that position as president?? Because he's silent doesn't mean he's a fool, he's in a position of overwhelming Power. Whatever Tinubu has is change to G.E.J.Someone just listed SOME companies owned by Tinubu from what he looted from Lagos state govt. Show us that of GEJ. |

Sincere 9gerian:On the contrary, those supposed to police this process are paid to look the other way to ensure over-inflated contracts are approved. They all benefit from it. |

Sincere 9gerian:G.E.J can never be as obvious as that. He's highly underated and he's playing by the book. That 4percent kick-back is the foundation of corruption in this country and its effect is what filters down to the masses (where you have to inflate and pay money to get anything done). This is classified information and you don't expect G.E.J to start flaunting it in the faces of Nigerians. |
Re: Lagos Light Rail Project. (UPDATES) by Nobody: 4:23pm On Mar 20, 2013 |
ba7man: How can you compare the expertise, finances and logistics required to construct an over-head rail system running for several kilometers to constructing buildings on one spot??Perhaps if Tinubu had not been distracted by trying to establish his personal kingdom, he could have done more in 8yrs and possibly complete the Lagos light rail. That is the koko |

Sincere 9gerian:I'll agree with you on this one, Fashola tried to throw a spanner in his wheels and he threatned his 2nd term bid in return to make him back-off. Tinubu can be a "smash and grab" kind of individual. He's a visionary though but that progress must be of benefit to him directly. |

ba7man: On the contrary, those supposed to police this process are paid to look the other way to ensure over-inflated contracts are approved. They all benefit from it.That can NEVER be true. I wonder how much will be enough to bribe an over 400 member NASS for every project. Your statement is also an indictment on ACN and CPC members in the NASS. It is only a stupid president that will attempt to bribe a NASS that is hugely divided along partisan and ethnoreligous lines. The president will not be that foolish because it could easily back fire. If the executive had skeletons in its cupboard, it would have hesistated in dealing with Farouk Lawan and his likes in the NASS. |
Re: Lagos Light Rail Project. (UPDATES) by ba7man(m): 4:42pm On Mar 20, 2013 |
Sincere 9gerian:They have key members don't they?? Some are more relevant than the others. They will convey the goodwill to their camp. I don't know how true this really is but NASS members belived Farouk lawan had it coming and if he had fought back during his prosecution, it would have exposed bigger cans of worms. He had being cutting shady deals while leaving the rest in the dark. I know the NASS isn't guilt free, so all these tales might just be true. Hey, this is Nigeria, anything can happen. |

So Tinubu spent solid 8 yrs to 'revive' the IDEA of a railway in Lagos?? Choi!!! That has got to be about d most Ridiculous thing ('excuse') I hv eva heard on NL!....

Lagos light rail Phase I will be ready in June 2013 West Africa’s first public rail transit system January 9, 2013 Sesan Olufowobi PUNCH [img]http://dilemmaxdotnet.files./2013/01/lagos-light-rail-11.jpg?w=540&h=253[/img] [img]http://dilemmaxdotnet.files./2013/01/lagos-light-rail-12.jpg?w=540&h=292[/img] [img]http://dilemmaxdotnet.files./2013/01/lagos-light-rail-24.jpg?w=540[/img] [img]http://dilemmaxdotnet.files./2013/01/lagos-light-rail-18.jpg?w=540&h=405[/img] The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013). He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the light rail project immediately. The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government. Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors. The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians. “The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid. “Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified. “This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents. “When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.” Fashola also explained that the factors that necessitated the slow pace of work in Ago Palace Way, Okota, Isolo had been removed as owners of properties on right-of-way, who went to courts to stop the government from demolishing their properties, had agreed to an out-of-court settlement. Fashola assured the residents that with the owners agreeing to accept compensation from the government, the pace of road construction in the area would be faster. He said, “The community has grown, so we have to expand the road. At Ago Palace Way, some of the properties needed to give way; everybody wants good road, but nobody wants it to pass through his house, so some of the owners took us to court. But we have settled out of court and we need to pay compensation. “These are the things that residents do not see. I have heard complaints that the work is slow; some say the contractor has left; but the reason is that a citizen took us to court.” He said works would be accelerated to complete the expansion of the road expected to serve as a link between Okota and Festac areas. http://dilemma-x.net/2013/01/09/nigeria-lagos-light-rail-phase-i-will-be-ready-in-june-2013-west-africas-first-public-rail-transit-system/ |

Omo_Tier1: ^^^^ Chei! See am dem disgrace insincere9igerian Shame don catch am!You should rather be ashamed that your "performing party" cannot complete the railway project, that ought to have been completed in the 80s, after 14 SOLID years of ruling Lagos. It is even worse that after 14yrs the govt is talking about completing first phase? What about other phases? Even the first phase has not been completed. This same pictures have been posted over and over again. The Op did not ask for old pictures (the same pictures that made front page several times early this year) but for UPDATES. Fashola should complete this laudable project as soon as possible. The 14yrs wait is disgraceful 1 Like |

Not a lover of propaganda but I must say this is commendable. A thread was created to get details of how much progress has been made on a huge project, but was turned to comparism of political leaders and 'bad mouth' of a project that seems to be intimidating. Pictures were uploaded(though lately) for doubting Thomases, showing real progress in the project being put in doubt. But started whining in an entirely different way. Give credit to this initiative and to the brains behind it, it's the first of it kind in the country and not even the stronger Federal government with more resources has done anything similar. I strongly wish some of us can keep mute on things/projects we are not happy about due to our envying nature rather than talking ill of them even when being proved to be outstanding and progressive. |

$£yi: u dey mind the fools. Now someone will accuse me of bringing Retardeen into Fashola thread. This project is on point and pictures are available for all to see. Besides its not an hidden project. Its what is being seen by millions of people daily and can testify to in contrast to many of FG that needs a tour to foolishly publicize. |
