Oh! My my
Now it isn't lack of FG support, now it is actually the FG denying the SG space and right of way
You're not actually talking about the ido line to ogun state are you? I thought this was the LAGOS STATE light metro project, not the Inter state light metro project? , so tell me, does the FG's refusal in anyway hinder the laying down of rail tracks from say mile2 to okokomaiko? Or do you need a map of lagos state? But don't mind me, afterall, what do I know? It must be my shallow reasoning.........not everybody can "deep reason" lies and half-truths like you and the APC you know

BraniacX:

Yes, go back and read what you posted, you denied the FG being party to the loan (it was locally obtained) and recognised the FG's role (in your words "support" ) in obtaining same loan (because foreign loans are cheaper) all in the same sentence

Gerritt?

aresa:




Stop sticking your nose into what you know nothing about. Seek some knowledge about the project before commenting..


You are at least smart enough to recognize your own shallow reasoning...

If you go abroad to borrow money ,you dont borrow as a state but as a country .Is that not true

BraniacX:

Good for you Mr. Encyclopedia-know-abso-effing-lutely-nothing-whatsoever you still didn't answer my question, HOW DOES THE FG DENYING THE SG ACCESS TO THE IDO LINE AFFECT TRACK LAYING BETWEEN MILE2 AND OKOKOMAIKO?
It seems sacarsm is foreign to your reasoning process but that doesn't matter.
If deep reasoning is being like you its shallow reasoning all the way for me because I actually pity, not envy you.
Plus I'll stick my nose wherever I want, I actually am a bigger stake holder in this than you are.............until you prove me wrong on that account anyway

BraniacX:


True, then back to your statement on the loans being local in origin.............care to elucidate?

olas24u:



When banks borrow you the money ,or individuals and some times third parties who get money at cheap rates and then lend it to states government,they are all still domestic debts.Foreign money comes in single digits as low as 4% while you cannot get 4% locally .That was what i meant .And they borrow in the name of Nigeria not state

We know he sourced $242 through the FG, how much did he source locally and how much has the project cost so far?

Who told you anything is preventing the project from going on in other places? Is this the discussion and even last time I checked, work is going on in phases with one contractor finishing off for another to step in and do theirs.

This is a red line and blue line project and it can not be completed without constructing both lines.

Contracts have been awarded for all the phases except the red line the FG is denying access to..


Again, keep quiet and educate yourself before opening your mouth..

As the resident Metro rail construction engeneere and contractor on NL, please tell us the time frame or the length of time required t construct a 26 mile metro rail system with 10 lane construction including BRT access, rail stations, overhead bridges, a metro rail bridge over the lagoon from iganmu to marina. Please give us a step by step analysis time wise.

You did good by admitting your ignorance earlier and you need to keep doing that.

BraniacX:


Blah Blah Blah balderdash!!!
This first phase is supposed to end @ okokomaiko and that was supposed to have been done by june 2013............fast forward to the present, those rail tracks between Mile2 and okokomaiko don't exist yet, excuses for their not existing exist now, and your addition to this litany of excuses just doesn't fly
I never claimed to being the expert or resident engineer here, if anything, you did, I'm just pointing out the fact that typical of a Nigerian politician, Fashola made promises, promises he hasn't been able to keep after eight years, yet APC supporters excuse him for this, afterall it can't be his fault can it, yet a little over five years after taking office, no APC supporter wants to cut Jonathan any slack so tell me, is this double standards or plain old hypocrisy?
Now fashola fails and you want to get all technical and analytic which makes you sound infact like a Jonathan supporter while me on the other hand, I'm doing my best APC supporter "black or white no gray (done or not done no in progress)" standup role, how does it look like on the other side? what does it feel like being on the defensive? I can tell you, the air smells sweeter and the weather cooler on this side
Plus, for all your claims to an uber education, you just always succeed in coming of monotonous and repetitive...........way to go "not-einstein"

But you write as if lagos is being dashed the money .I dont know the details of the funding of the project ,but federal government did not dash lagos the money and the road is also a federal road so you will need to partner to do projects on it.Lagos can easily pay back the money with ease .because its a viable state.The project is ongoing and not a failed project

olas24u:


with fluctuating exchange rates and tariffs by the government of Good luck , its affects the cost and planning and they may adjust the plan due to exchange fluctuation that will be used to buy input to complete the projects. so the value of 242 dollars 6 years ago is different from its value today.Unless the incentives include waivers on imported items for the project.

aresa:


Stop confusing yourself with some irrelevant news...

This is not the FG doing the Lagos state any favors because it's the FG's constitutional responsibility to approve loans request from private lenders which the government of the great state of Lagos have to pay back and never the FG or the people of Anambra, Taraba, Kongi or Maiduguri. This is not any favor, they are obligated to do this under the Nigerian constitution or be forced to do it by the courts..


The FG is still deducting money for Lagos state's AES IPP that's still supplying Nigeria with electricity even though the same FG sabotaged the efforts of the Lagos state government to consume every MW of electricity from the power project same way they are sabotaging the Lagos metro rail poject by denying access to construct the red live from iddo to Ogun state.


Approving loans that they are not going to pay for as part of their constitutional obligations and actually denying them needed space to construct the same metro rail they approve loans are all different things.

Come back with another rubbish when they yield that corridor and allow the government of Lagos state to complete the project.

Yaradua did everything in his power to make sure the best bridge in Nigeria get built by not only giving necessary approval and support, but also destroying FG buildings standing on the way. That was a very honorable and patriotic thing to do regardless of politics, but the clowns we have in Abuja today are a bunch of clueless, petty, vindictive, shortsighted and unpatriotic bunch....

what's this one saying.. so many paragraph..yet you didn't make sense...which right of way. despicable you....tsk tsk tsk....fashola should 've checked before giving assurance dat the project will be completed....he totally failed in this one. just like the twenty lane badagry expressway..

Did you say street lights all over Lagos state
Perhaps Lagos Island is no longer part of the state =>

Igr or no Igr, yearly budget is what states have to work with and in the last few years, akpabio passed larger budgets than Lagos state by nothing less than N100 billion more and you can not show me what he did with that money apart from the few roads in uyo. You can not show me 4 completed projects...

arresa:

















Very exciting to see very functional and productive state institutions branching out and creating sub institutions needed to educate and grow critical technical workforce and manpower to move the state forward.

Eko o ni baje o...

Babysho:


See,even Fashola didnt think it wouldnt be completed...as a leader you gotta give the people a touch of hope..but when Jona didnt approve of Lagos financial needs..there is nothing Fash can do nah..i heard Fash had to borrow frm 1 foreign bank or so for Lagos..what Jona did.am guessin is d reasn why Fashola is against him and sayin..Jonathan didnt functn properly as a President..

awodman:
Fashola of late has been making idiotic statements & embarrassing himself...His very poor at this propaganda business

Fashola says FG is stifling the Lagos Light Rail..Same FG that has graciously approved loans meant for this project?
