There is a massive gridlock and all routes in and out of the island are blocked, stern looking soldiers everywhere.

If you have the intention of visiting marina or in marina, do not leave till 5hours after he has left.

News from the grapevine says he is attending a meeting at the stockexchange house.

Okay, Lagos Island, that's CMS side. That road is always blocked everyday due to that market there. Do not call Lekki fake brov, I know poor people lie when they say they prefer stock fish because it is too strong, but they prefer Tilapia because its soft. The real truth is, they cant afford stock fish. No vex.

Are you talking or vomitting? There is Lagos Island which is the rough rugged island and V/I. seems you just packed in from Ibadan, when Ijora Badia Dudes like you mistakenly get a job on VI Nigg@s start misbehaving No offense

There would not have been such a traffic situation if F.ass.hole had delivered on the aloku scrap metal Toronto trains he spent $1 billion World Bank loan on since 2011 but never seen in Lagos four years after. Not to forget that Buhari cancelled the progressive work of Jakande over 30 years ago shocked



The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts.

According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption.
