Taaah, that's the same story we've been hearing for years.

Haha! Completion date keeps shifting, it's not fair to the people at all.

Ma'am, that's true. But we know it was during Ambode's tenure that the project greatly slowed down for only God knows why. It was a project he could have easily completed, but now Ambode is no longer on seat, Sanwo is. So let's see if Sanwoolu's promise of 2022 will still hold

Very much doubt it but let's see.

Well I understand your doubts but we'll both see it happen
I'll be the one to break the news here when it happens by 2022

Olodo,

I don't know how much the Lagos state government is paying you.


Why build roads without proper drianage systems? Only to waste or steal more funds to fix roads that weren't properly constructed in the first place. The Lagos state government has been under the same government for the best part of 21 years so who do you blame for the bad roads.

Stop comparing whatever backward state you are from with Lagos because they do drainage in Lagos, Btw, it's drainage, not drianage.


Looks like you are just one of the bitter, hateful and angry lazy youths. Who is paying you to lie and spew ignorant tales on the internet.

Water transportation is not left out...

Deal!
I really want to be proved wrong on this.

I'm sure it will take them 50 years to construct if approved.

From design, approval to execution, everything in Nigeria is slow.

Remember the current intra Light Rail from Badagry is taking decades for whatever reason to get to inner Island.

This one will take like 5 diferent Govs of 8years each.

Ignorance is a disease.

One man's ignorance is another man's knowledge, and knowledge is limited to education and experience. Lots of us have travelled to other parts of the world and have seen how things are done properly.

When the bridge is completed it will open up Ikorodu and Epe. With Badagry express road, every part of Lagos will be urbanized.

Open up Lagos to where? Why does every other area of Lagos have to lead to Lagos Island? Is Lagos island still the capital of Nigeria or colonial government? Why do all major bridges in Lagos have to link Lagos Island? All traffic does not have to lead to Lagos island.

What exactly is the Lagos master plan? Lagos should design and build urban clusters and link them all by rail. Lagos State government after Jakande has been building infrastructure haphazardly without any urban master plan. You need industrial zones, commercial zones, residential zones and even a silicone Valley (to accommodate the new technological reality)

It also reduce traffic a lot.

That was the same argument for Lagos - Epe expressway, Apapa - Oshodi expressway, Carter bridge, 3rd mainland bridge, Badagry road, ikorodu road, ejigbo-igando, etc.

Nigerians don't know what they want. When politicians embezzle money they complain when they embark on good project they complain again.

And you think you know more than all Nigerians, that's what I call arrogance.

No one is complaining they are embarking on a good project, what people are complaining is that the limited resources available could be put to better use, to initiate projects that benefit more people for longer term.

Better use is a life changing solution like the 4th MB.

Better use is the 4th relieving, decongesting and diverting tens of thousands of cars from our major roads in Lagos,

Better use is the 4th MB giving Lagosians extra 4 hours per day to do other productive things instead of wasting it sitting in traffic.

Better use is the 4th MB eliminating dirty carbon pollution from too many cars sitting in traffic all day.

Better use is the 4th MB improving trade and commerce for smoother and better movement of goods, supplies and services because goods and supplies from Ikorodu and out of state jurisdictions like Ogun, Oyo state and beyond can get to lagos propper faster by at least 4-5 hours instead of sitting in traffic for endless hours,

Better use is the 4th MB reducing fuel cost, service and maintenance cost and stress ,

Epe expressway, Apapa - Oshodi expressway, Carter bridge, 3rd mainland bridge, Badagry road, ikorodu are all different and effective solutions that we need and the 4th MB is another vital solution to solve different needs.

The 4th MB is not going to solve traffic issues in Festac, in Badagry or anywhere in that axis, it's specifically to solve traffic issues in the most congested parts of Lagos across so many communities from the 3rd MB to Ebute meta, Yaba, Iwaya, Shomolu, Bariga, Mushin, Fadeyi, Palm grove, Ilupeju, Anthony, Ikeja, Maryland, Ketu, Mile 12, Ikorodu, Ijede and cities in between and beyond.

While heading to Ikeja or Ikorodu, you can not get on the Badagry expressway. Every solution is specifically tailored to serve different needs in different areas of the society so that was a misguided and irrelevant sentiment.

Now, millions of Lagosians from every corner of Lagos leave the homes all day and every day to seek their daily bread on the island, billions in goods and services are transported inside and outside Lagos Island everyday and millions of Lagosians waste valuable and costly productive hours in traffic while trying to get to work, for service, commerce and social engagements so it's very vital and important for sane and sensible governments to produce critical solutions like alternate routes, alternate entry and exit points.

What you pay for goods and services is a reflection of the cost of transportation from fuel to wasted man hours in traffic and congestions.

Many of us are just too simplistic when it comes to serious issues affection us daily, we bad mouth and get cynical over critical solutions put in place to address our daily realities and offer us a better quality of life.

We love to compare ourselves with other countries especially advanced countries with hundreds of years of progress and development, with hundreds of billions of dollars in yearly budget to throw at any traffic issues.

They don't say just because they built a bridge over there to solve traffic issues in on area so they don't have to do anything to solve traffic issues in another are, they are still building bridges, highways and so on.

Transportation ideas and solutions are all inclusive and from what we've seen in Lagos, they are addressing them all across the board with Mass Transit solutions from Metro Rail to waterways, roads and bridges.


Btw, we don't need new urban clutters to clutter an already cluttered Lagos, what we need is congestions, less human migration and traffic into Lagos state because Lagos state no matter what can not keep up with the ever widening population because more people means more roads, more hospitals, more schools, more bridges, more government services, more programs and policies and more importantly, quick degradation and destruction of built infrastructures.
