Some useless obedients are already wailing in the comment section already....
Nigeria will be good again if everyone put sentiments and tribalism aside to support the ruling government for a better Nigeria

It's not Operating at 100% yet

When the train is ready to run between Okokomaiko and Marina, the one using Electricity will be ready by then.

The most important thing right now is that Lagosians are now making use of it


The Project have two phases, Phase 1 and 2.

Phase 2 is ready, Phase 1 is not ready yet.

Lagosians are already making use of the Phase 2.


Oyinbo man is telling you how things are done in the countries you want to run to, but you sit back defending a fraud from Okoko.

You dey mind these fraudsters? They will defend a fraud until it's 2 weeks before another election. God will punish them all. The Buhari they praised so well for commissioning uncompleted projects only became an enemy about 10 days to another presidential election.

With the way Nigerians don't listen to instructions? Let the 4 weeks be used again for warning and re warning before a quarter of those who ply that route become electrocuted.

Upon all the barricades and instructions people that will jump will jump.

Even if you support Sanwo-Olu, doesn't mean you cannot asked questions. A leader is not perfect, he may have his reasons but if the people asked questions, it helps him to run his govt prudently.

That is how you guys supported Bubu blindly until he ran the country aground and now Tinubu boys are saying he handed over a dead economy. But when he was killing the economy, you guys were cheering him on blindly
They are dullard.
I'm sure he'll soon tell you Obi will never be president of Nigeria and Asiwaju will rule for 8 years.
Parachoko is just a bumbling dullard

Lagos State governor Sanwo-Olu commissioned the blue line in December, but it couldn’t start operations because a facility to power the tracks wasn’t ready.

The metro will now use a diesel locomotive for some weeks until the power plant is ready to connect to the tracks.

According to John Ashbourne, an African analyst, while quoting a video of the train being pulled, he wrote;

You people will not listen to mainstream news and be peddling unnecessary gossips around.

They already announced that it will operate on diesel for the time being.

I don't understand what you achieved with this your Aproko mouth!

Probably you were not in a position to vote but you defended him blindly.

The only reason you're not hearing how mych damage Bubu has caused is because its same APC in govt.

People in Lagos think they're getting a fair deal because the compare Lagos to Delta State or Enugu. SMH!
You really believe he did not vote Buhari? Lol

When citizens cannot asked questions but follow blindly, they're called sheep.

When a government spends five times the normal cost, you can't be celebrating wastefulness and corruption
You won’t be the first to ask questions.. your great grandchildren will ask questions too during their own time . that’s the reality of life…You can go on strike, shout at the govt, sue the govt, nothings going to happen my man…it’s good to ask questions though.. but this is our reality, we’re going to live it

Maybe it is to stop the same set of people who stole railings from the third mainland bridge or the ones that stole transfomers at ibadan from attempting the same feat and hence have Lagos competing with Ogun in terms of deaths per day.

you can't even comprehend how grown men could be that insensitive, everything for them is just attack and defend, zero sense of reasoning.
