This is the type of government system you want, where they inflate project 50times of normal amount. I weep for you bro seriously. The said Chinese company said they where paid 180million dollars for the project. Where is the rest of the money. Until we learn to ask government workers questions this country can't work. Please don't play politics with everything. We are suffering bad government together.

Here are the results.

Ethiopia
$5.2 million per KM ($4.5 billion total) for the 759 Km heavy duty standard guage rail line from Djibouti to Ethiopia. Finished in 4 years. Can carry container of goods and passengers

Lagos
$54 million per KM ($1.5 billion total) for the 27KM light rail line in Lagos. Can only carry passengers. It's over 12 years and still not finished.

Conclusion
Back in China where records must be submitted to the stock exchange, the company that built both lines reported that what they were paid for the Lagos rail is $181 million, but Tinubu's Lagos said they spent $1.5 billion.

Lagos people should ask Tinubu where he kept their $1.2 billion.

Are you held at gun point in Lagos? I recall that that when Tinubu's boys Fashola and Aregbesola abducted several of you all over Lagos and Osun and dumped you at Upper Iweka Bridge Head Onitsha at 2:00AM, before 2:10AM, you have all jumped into the next available Mallam Audu's trailer moving Cows to Lagos.

It costs more to build because lagos is a Waterlogged Marsh Area , addis ababa is not

There are many bridges that need to be built in addition to filling the waterlogged areas with Water Resistant Rocks and Concrete that will form a Solid foundation and barrier against flooding from Ocean water and it will cost more than the laying of the Train Tracks itself

Look at this Railway Bridge along the line on the Lagoon towards marina for example,

The Supporting Railway Columns are fixed firmly into the bottom of the concrete reinforced Sea bed and
it is very expensive to build on the Sea

Djibouti too is like Lagos

Intercity monorail costs between $20-$50m per km to construct. Even if there was corruptiob, I very much doubt it would be that high

Also, that of Ethiopian is not within the city. Also, I won't trust Ethiopian statistics. Like China, they fuddle with the figures they tell
the public.

Building monorail isn't cheap and regularly run over budget because it's within a city and there are several challenges, one being several obstructing structures such as buildings, electric poles, underground pipes and so on which can delay work. I have not included lawsuits by citizens and companies whose land will either be encroached on (well, there's eminent domain) or torn down.

On some road construction projects when he was governor, Raji Fashola reported there was a lawsuit on every kilometer of the stretch of some projects.

That of Lagos is even inexpensive when compared to that of Taipei, Taiwan. That of Bangkok too proved to be a nightmare as well when being built. Apart from corruption and cost overruns, there were the problems of several overlapping agencies which slowed down work considerably.

What's your state doing with its allocation ?
If all your governors are holly than the, I think we should having about 36 trail projects in different parts of the country.
But you are busy castigating the only working and walking state in Nigeria

Trash from Zombidients

Is that how you defend corruption?? 181 million as against 1.5 billion dollars?? It is well. With the potentials that Lagos has, it should be better than cape Town, Cairo and Casablanca, but alas, it is still a local champion. Mega shit

I don't have the 'correct' stats. Ethiopia for a long time has been a dictatorship. It's only under the current president that there's been far greater freedoms.

The previous government of late Zenawi was a benigh dictatorship. Anyway, he remained a dictator. The government may want to publish a low figure to the public in order to portray themsrlves as prudent. It's something China does all the time.

Even Chinese produced economic growth stats aren't taken seriously by outsiders. The Communist party's legitimacy stems from them able to bring prosperity through rapid economic growth . All economic growth stats eminating from the China must reflect this.
