'Work begins on billion dollar project' is a familiar headline in Nigeria. I'm only interested in finished projects.

What date, as in month and year the project is scheduled to finish. There was an announcement about a year ago that work is begining and finishing in 2011.

The work has still yet to begin, when exactly is the work begining(as one report claimed is still in a drawing board stage), BUT most importantly which month in 2011 is the Project to complete and use commence.

We should applaud finishers and not starters that abadon mid position. We love and salute BRF govt nothwithsatnding ambiguity is the mother of confusion, take that away from the statement.

GTay:

Great News! Finally a transport system that can be considered highly scalable

Let them finish the project before you scream "great news"
Nor be Naija. . . .

To think that I supported Obanikoro during the elections makes me feel like Big fool now. Thanks to other Lagosians that voted in this guy. PDP will die a natural death.

PDP should not die a natural death so that we can know and identify the FULLTIME BASTARDS among us.

BRF fire on. This one na action governor. Action dey go on.

I congratulate the Governor and his team. Imagine that metroline was supposed to cost 25Million in 1979, was cancelled by the military for reasons best known to them and now the good people of Lagos are to pay 3 billion because of reasons of 'national security'.
The time to do this is now, whatever it will cost, the govt should not be deterred otherwise the next generation will be building it at 300 billion. Even if it takes 20 years to complete, the people of that time will enjoy the benefits

Thumbs Up to 'ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU'.
A VISIONARY 'EXTRAORDINAIRE'

Thumbs up to BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA (SAN)
An EXCELLENT, HARDWORKING, UNASSUMING FELLOW.

Three GBOSAS to all members of the ACTION CONGRESS
providing the platform for distinguished individuals to make our lives better.

Thanks to US ALL 'LAGOSIANS' for Paying our TAXES.

'I pay my TAXES, Hope you do Too'

EKO O NI BAJE!
CHEERS!

You voted the wrong person.  
A friend of mine just came back from Ogbomoso and the guy was ashamed the way your Governor celebrated his xmas with his political followers.   I was told that knockout explosives were heard from his house.  He said it lasted for more than one hour.  Everybody in that area was disappointed that a Governor could do such a thing.
And I was told that man is coming back the 2nd time.

No one voted for the the Thug Governor. Have U forgotten he rigged himself in? And do U expect better behavior from a Thug who should be in a remand home if 9ja was working well?

OMO IBO:

Good stuff but One million passengers per day??
Abeg, that one na gross over-exaggeration.

Even the London Underground just about carries 1 million passengers per day.

London Underground moves 2.95 million approximately per day (3.4 million approx on weekdays). London has a population of 7,556,900 (2007 est).
Lagos has a population of emmm much more than that. So LAMATA can't be grossly exaggerating. Besides even if they are it'll be nice to have the capacity built in.

Yet some dont believe in Naija! Its Naija forever. . . .

@ Violent, please rest your case, fashola is doing brilliantly superb. The man is God sent.
Eko oni baje jare!

you all seem to ignore the fact that all lot of heads got ruffled when (in the course of laying ground for
the light rail project) the ministry of environ. arm of the LASG demolished a lot of buildings along the
railway at pen-cinema without the solace of compensation.

Don't make that mistake O!
A Lagos that asks even fellow Yoruba people where their ancestral family house is located!
That LAGOS dey your birth cert no mean nothing.
Have you forgotten so easily the drama that trailed& traced Tinubu's ancestry to another part of Yoruba land?
Or the ruckus Senator Mamora faced when he sought the State assembly's post and was reminded he was from Ogun State?
Then wonder why 9ja needs to practice[size=18pt] real democracy and true federalism![/size]

About 450 Billy! where's the money coming from?

tunnytox:

how i wish we have this man in Oyo state,   rather than a tout who is parading himself as our governor,

You guys in Oyo State decided to choose an illiterate, so you guys deserve the result of an administration headed by an illiterate, local executive. His aura and demeanor is indicative of his constituents. He was chosen by people from Oyo State, whether through a democratic election or by the legislature.

wel done to fashola.but like someone rightfully said we are intrested in "finished projects".

MUNEER2:

you sound angry brova
At least, he bought suzuki akala's cab  
plus a nice poster for second term

Really am! Y? Seeing buffons like him and his ilk north, west, south, east ruining the greatness that 9ja could show not only the black race but the world. Why I no go vex when all they think leadership to be is drinking green bottle brew, sipping pepper soup and having state house hoes by your beck and call because of the worthless title 'Governor' attached to the name plate on their doors? In other words, amala politics.  

Starting is not the problem but finishing. I hope this would not go down soon as a dream that was never achieved.

yEP JUST LIKE yARADUA was chosen by Nigerians like you as your post below indicates  

You guys in nIGERIA decided to choose a GRADUATE PRESIDENT, so you guys deserve the result of an administration headed by an SICKLY PROVINCIAL executive. His aura and demeanor is indicative of his constituents. He was chosen by people from NIGERIA, whether through a democratic election or by the legislature!

[size=23pt]Can you give yourself a break and be real for once in your life?[/size]

Atleast we can Hear a Good News from Nigeria after all this while that news of Yaradua have 1 Kidney, yaradua collapsed, Maryam is faint, Jonathan spend 100 Billons on Accomodation etc have dominated the atmosphere.

We can hear of a development that will affects life of a common man coming our ways

Thumb up fashola

You are comparing a local election to a national election. Local elections are more closely monitored by the people of the state and the legislature. National elections, on the other hand, are difficult to monitor in Nigeria and are subject to the population differences which vary from region to region. These differences are also based along religious lines. Also Nigerian citizens from the outset vehemently and unequivocally rejected the nomination and election of Yaradua. People of Oyo State, on the other hand, have revered Alao Akala as their favorite son, and there is no statewide, majority consensus condemning Alao Akala's administration.

I love BRF!

Tinubu and Fashola's achievements are examples of what naija can gain when we learn to understand the power of the ruled and not that the rulers.

I am very much interested in how LAMATA arrived at that figure.

Mind you the LU is used by all and sundry, . . .and I mean ALL.

I'm sure you and I know those who'll hugely patronise this mode of transportation in Lagos.

On National Geographic they said Lagos could have a population of 15mil, would the transit system of 1mil suffice at all ?
