I was talking about the railway that is suppose to link Nigeria with other west African countries, the one that runs mile 2 towards seme border. If there is another then congrates to Lagos state govt.

Sincerely, you don't know who ademusiwa is! You wouldn't have be that quick with your word. That guy is a Nairaland legend

SamuelAnyawu:
Lagos is a country inside Nigeria

Scholes007:
They should include similar IVM product into this too. ITC did it,ebotrans did, abia line is doing it, Nigeria army did it and I believe lagos transport will do.

girl4rmspace:
Cool, as long as they dont interfere with owners of danfo and force them to get these, its okay

jesuspikinjp:



govt can also employ some of them and pay them salaries, with a proper dress code.

1NigeriaOnlyIf:
WHY TATA
pls can someone tell me why the lagos govt chose TATA.
has tata started assembly in nigeria. if yes, then i withdraw my comment.

If no, then why not IVM, Peugeut, Kia, Nissan, or any other that is local
We need to support nigerian economy and nigerian currency

Even if for whatever reason the lagos govt wants to go with tata, if tata is not yet assemblying in nigeria, the govt can tell them that unless they establish an assembly plant in lagos, which will be paying taxes to lagos state, and emply x number of lagos citizens (am sure there are many qualified lagos citizens) they wouldnt do business with them.

NOTE. I AM NOT FROM LAGOS. BUT I LOVE NIGERIA. IF IT IS GOOD FOR LAGOS, IT IS GOOD FOR NIGERIA. IF TATA ESTABLISHES IN LAGOS, NIGERIAN ECONOMY WILL GAIN

It seems Mr. Ambode is out of ideas on how to spend Lagos IGR..
Anyone close to him should pls tell him that vehicles aren't infrastructures, they can improve the cost of living, but the long term economic effect is minimal as its a liability not an asset.

sweetylicious:
It is you that has run out of what to say

rose54321:


Yes in accounting we all know it's an asset, in Economics it's a liability. Mr. Ambode is a governor and should be more interested in the economic implications of his actions NOT accounting.

As an economist, you measure the implication of your every policy, on the state and the populace -
Pertinent questions:
-What becomes of the current danfo drivers, will they be automatically employed or rendered jobless??

-What price will these vehicles charge, less than Danfos (another form of subsidy); same as Danfo, or considering their comfort - more than the current danfo charge??

-what's the long term maintenance plan for the buses??

These and many others are pertinence economic questions an economists, and I believe the governor, should be concerned with.

Introduction of buses, as I earlier explained, is a good investment, but considering Nigeria current state (early stages of a recession), they are better investment options.

abeg abeg abeg, NL kor, NL legend ni. Perhaps hez only legendary to you and the South westerns who belong to his illusional odua republic

colossus2:

1. What infrastructure do Lagos need?
2. Is this a bad development?

sweetgala:


This is not state owned but a state subsidised public transport system. It would be dangerous for Lagos to make BRT the only road transport system in Nigeria. Many people would be unemployed.

It is just a way to standardise vehicles and ensure all vehicles are serviced as required because all owners would be purchasing under a recorded gov initiative.

gabicon:


We can't afford to patronise IVM simply because it's naija assembled ivm needs to do aggressive marketing. drive from ojota to VI how many adverts or sales point of ivm do you see? How many of kia or Nissan, or Toyota do you see? People buy what they see that's why companies run adverts on TV n bill boards. As we speak I don't know a location to purchase an ivm vehicle but I know of kia Peugeot Nissan n ford Benz. If ivm doesn't give the public a taste of what they have to offer no one will take them serious.

Look at you. The first time i step my feet in Europe, the taxi i took was a Limo and the driver was wearing complete suite with tie.

rose54321:


In case you are unaware Europe is a continent and not a country.
BTW I don't quite get the relevance of your comment to the topic or my post

fados4sure:

Incase you are not aware, Lagos state is a state not a country

femi4:
Oponu! The emphasis of that write up is on danfo. We have few molues in Lagos now

Rolings:


The FG owns the trains

chrisblack:
guy u mumu die.you actually don't live in lagos.do you know the amount of money lost to an inefficient transport setting.i tell this is going to be one of the best things to happen in lagos. Traffic hold up leads to lost of billions.yes public transportation is also termed infrastructure if your narrow mined does not know dou think only trains can be called so.eko oni baje

rose54321:


Exactly my point, why compare a state to "Europe"
