Orlando Owoh: I cannot but say sorry to you "Jews". You lost your support for Rochas Okorocha not just because his performance decline but because he joined what you call Awolowo party. Chris Ngige is going to surprise you all. The same Awolowo party he used in defeating Dora Akuyinli is the same party he will use in defeating his rivals tomorrow.

WorldStage Newsonline-- [b]Lagos State Governor Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) has awarded contract for the extension of the ongoing construction of Blue line lite rail project from National Theatre to Marina.

The Managing Director, Lagos Metropolitan Transport Management Authority (LAMATA), Dr. Dayo Mobereola, disclosed this Wednesday at a forum organized by members of the Lagos State Governor's Office Correspondents (LAGOCO) at the state secretariat, Ikeja as part of activities marking its 2013 Press Week.

Mobereola said the project being undertaken by LAMATA was awarded on Tuesday by the governor adding that it would help facilitate movement from Mile 2 to Marina.

He said though the project awarded to the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) is very expensive considering the terrain involved, he said on completion, it would help reduce traffic congestion and ease the burden of traffic witnessed daily on the route by residents.

The LAMATA boss who spoke on the topic, LAMATA at 10: Challenges, Successes and Prospects, assured residents of plans to evolve an ultra-modal mode of transportation that would be easily accessible by residents.

“Gradually, people of Lagos have been abandoning Danfo and Molue buses for BRT. We have been reducing waiting time at bus stops, the travel time within the metropolis and we equally reduced transport fare by 40 percent compared to the service being rendered by yellow buses. ”

He explained that the agency has developed a 20-year transportation developmental plan that covers bus, rail and ferry service including provision of good roads for BRT system to run well.

He said part of the plan was the introduction of electronic ticketing system as against the previous paper ticketing system.

Mobereola added that very soon, LAMATA will also introduce Lagos Connect Card that will make it easier for its holder to use in boarding BRT, Lite Rail and Ferry.[/b]

On maintenance of BRT buses, he said the agency is aware of the challenges adding that effort are on for training and retraining of operators to ensure that they serve the public better.

“It is something we have been worried about for some time now. It's been a challenge, no doubt but, we did not sit down and fold our arms on the issue.” He added that additional 50 buses will soon be introduced to replace those that are no more roadworthy.

“We've tried, but we have not solved all the problems and challenges confronting transportation in Lagos.

“However, we have developed a 20 year development programme. We believed that Lagos needs seven rail lines and we are in the process of starting the Red Line lite rail project that will run from Alagbado in Ogun State to Marina, Lagos.

“We also believed that Lagos still needs nine BRT routes and we are talking with the state government to ensure commercial centres are put in place on the Mainland to reduce the number of people travelling to Lagos Island on daily basis,” he said.

ROSSIKE: Nice pics op.. The MMIA is the flagship of the nationwide airport remodelling programme.

From what I've heard and seen, it promises to be WORLD CLASS when it's finally unveiled to the public.

eggheaders: Why are you trying so hard to pretend you are intelligent??

kingbang: .

You answered nothing

No, you are the raving mad one for not knowing the meaning of "an APC controlled state" . PDP have legislators from Nassarawa but its still a CPC controlled state.

So you have accepted that ACN was a regional party then? good.

Only lunatics would take Okorocha,Udenwa an co as Igbo leaders. So we are not surprised at that development

talktimi: So agbameta is still making noise like a dilapidated molue here ? Smh for this boy sha

kingbang: I really don't get what you are yabbing about. I have never implied that APGA is a force to reckon with, i just stated that we Igbo need to build a much stronger APGA. SO remind me again, what is your point?.

i wonder how you never came to understand that. I have 2 questions to ask you kid.

Even mad people know that ACN was a regional party

1. How many ACN controlled states are outside SW?

2. How come Igbo leaders and APGA leadership were not consulted prior to the merger?

I really don't have time for shallow people like you but every true Igbo son knows that we need a platform to be used as a leverage in negotiating for our regional interests.

kingbang: Of course i was the first to accept that we have no leverage but i pray that journey starts from Saturday! As for your chest beating son, i am waiting to see how your APC can win a presidential election without block votes from SE and SS. Go figure please.

kingbang: You couldn't even put up an intelligent counter argument! Just a burst of emotional rant! I am waiting for a sensible counter argument. Even mad people know that ACN was a regional party, i wonder how you never came to understand that. I have 2 questions to ask you kid.
1. How many ACN controlled states are outside SW?

I really don't have time for shallow people like you but every true Igbo son knows that we need a platform to be used as a leverage in negotiating for our regional interests. You are not Igbo, so you wouldn't understand that.

jmaine: The part in bold is the most important part of your post up there.

You were caught pants down lapping up sycophantic faeces.

As for the rest of your questions. Yes the Laptop is election related but it's not rubbish.

Aside the unnecessary and exorbitant mega cost of the Laptops. It can do much more than the Opon imo if properly harnessed.

eggheaders: What a comeback from our resident infant, if I gat coma brain it means your own brain is dead like the famous corpses of the Egyptian mummies. I thought you can come and proove you are a tough guy I don't know you belong to the class of peeps whose gene pool expired long before notorious biggie grab the rudiments of rap game in the Bronx of new York.

jmaine: Another face saving means after showing his blunted fangs of extreme sycophancy.

jmaine: [s]Boring and lame attempts. Is this your idea of a "Face smashing jab".

This clown is damn boring.[/s]

talktimi: agbameta, do i cry because of your fo0lishness ? #whyevils

talktimi: mumu boy, ezu river ko limpopo river ni

jmaine:
You are sounding like an intoxicated clown.

jmaine: Imagine a maggot threatening to smash someone several heavens above him.

Am ready to dance, shall we ?

jmaine: You are always beneath me. With my eyes closed and both limbs bounded, I will still rip to shreds.

Now step aside son . . .

jmaine: Again bruv, stop covering up for the goon stark display of acute idiocy and sycophancy

talktimi: CRY ME A RIVER agbameta

gregg2: Aregbesola even awarded the contract to his son.
My Village Sources say the boy suddenly became an instant millionaire throwing money around everywhere

gregg2: APC is simply an Islamic Brotherhood.
Cos all I see in these pictures is a bunch of Islamic Boko Haram sponsors (except Abdulsalam Abubarkar)

talktimi: when agbameta has nothing to say, "village illiterate" becomes his default anthem

sbeezy8: Right, the LNG is not even important at this point. The refinery, Petrochemical plant and fertilizer plant are the basis of this investment, no one is even talking about LNG.

Some people are soo bitter they would rather the project fail then realize it will benefit all Nigerians-from the investors banks, Dangote (hausa), Jim Ovia(igbo), Tony Elumelu(igbo), Segun Agbaje(yoruba) Including the countless number of igbos efik edos Urhobo itsekriri hausa yoruba ijaw variou tribes from all around nigeria and non-Nigerians from other parts of Africa, who will relocate to Olokola for employment reasons.

its ridiculous, Even a baby with common sense knows that employment in this industrial complex will consists of Professional graduates looking for employment from different tribes and countries across Africa. Eevryone knows Dangote employs regardless of ethnic group or religion.
