Kweensavvy:
You should have said:

Like for Eyitayo and share for Aketi.

Truth is Nairalanders (me included) prefer the 'like' button to the 'share' button for obvious reasons.

Please what's the obvious reason?

Is it that you don't want your followers to know what you shared or

Another thread to give an opportunity to the misinformed to bash Lagos.

U na no go taya

Eriokanmi:
Lafable. Until you find a listing solution to boat mishaps, no sane lagosian must take you seriously

Which boat mishaps are you referring to?

If and hopefully when they pull this off, that means Sanwoolu's administration will be launching two rail networks before 2023.

This will make reelection very easy for him.

Press Release

The Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Mrs Abimbola Akinajo, has said the Lagos Red Rail Line will be operational in 24 months (October 2022).

She made this statement in Lagos on Tuesday at a milestone meeting on the implementation of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Red and Blue Line projects with the contractors and consultants.

Akinajo said the meeting was to reaffirm the already established positions on timelines for the delivery of the rail lines to passenger operation according to a statement by Assistant Director, Corporate Communication of LAMATA, Kolawole Ojelabi, titled ‘Lagos red rail line will be operational in 24 months’.

She said, “The red line is supposed to be a quick win because it will share tracks with the Nigerian Railway Corporation on its Lagos – Ibadan rail corridor. There will be no delays, no budget or cost overrun and there will not be any shift in delivery date.

“Our meeting is to take stock of what we have done so far since this project started and to re-emphasise that there is no room for slippage in the delivery of the red line.”

Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA, has assured residents that the Lagos Red Rail Line project would be operational in 24 months. The projection is that the first phase of 24-kilometre stretch of the Red Line, between Oyingbo and Agbado, representing the first phase of the 37-kilometre rail road project, will carry between 350,000 and 400,000 passengers daily.

Managing Director of LAMATA, Engr. (Mrs) Abimbola Akinajo, stated this in Lagos yesterday. Speaking at a milestone meeting on the implementation of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit, LRMT, Red and Blue Line projects with the contractors and consultants, Akinajo said the meeting was to reiterate the already established positions on timeline for the delivery of the rail lines to passenger operation. The Red Line is one of seven rail lines identified in the State’s Strategic Transport Master Plan for the mass movement of commuters to reduce congestion which has come to characterize the state.

“The Red Line is supposed to be a quick win because it will share tracks with the Nigerian Railway Corporation on its Lagos – Ibadan rail corridor. There will be no delays, no budget or cost overrun and there will not be any shift in delivery date, Railway is one of the ways cities deal with traffic congestion,” Akinajo stated. Also speaking, Director of Rail Transportation, LAMATA, Mr. Olasunkanmi Okusaga reiterated that the contractors and consultants on the projects must work together saying challenges must be quickly reported and resolved in a way that would be beneficial to timely delivery of the projects.

Lol I can't count the number of times someone has tried to use Fashola's name to commit fraud.

Eriokanmi:
Not so bro. Am sure you saw where I praised Fahola. He did well, likewise ambode. May Pa jakande's legacy never die, the man who could have afforded a private jet and established a company to siphon lagos money in his time, given his brilliant achievement but never did.. No governor in the history of Africa had beaten the set housing record till date. I was raised in lagos so I know. You must do your best by resting Tinubu's political relevance in that state else, nothing much would be achieved and that's the truth. I wouldn't blame those calling the housing scheme audio because the puppets at the helms won't be allowed to achieve anything meaningful in lagos by the godfather. They must take instructions from tinubu and that's where the problems lie. They called it audio because several initiatives of such had been launched since sanwoolu took office but were later abandoned. Go to the lagos waterways transport and see if it's functional, despite all the noise made by him when he csme, even invited media to cover it and it was in the news for weeks. Those local canoes and archaic ferries wouldn't stop wasting people's lives in various routes on lagis ocean.

Last year, sanwoolu said he was ready to pay the 30k minimum wage from November till now, nothing had been done. He even increased it to 35k... ati 30k oo, ati 35k oo, nothing was fulfilled. Just last month, LASU staff blocked the entrance of the institution in protest of non-implenentation of the minimum wage...just last month when he asked LASU to resume. Meanwhile, obaseki had been paying his civil servants the 30k since February this year, not minding the covid-19 pandemic lockdown. Check it bro. That's why people also see this as audio. Ambode, because he resufed to share lagos money, was able to achieve so much in almost one and half years of his administration. Sanwoolu can't point to one single achievement he had made in his almost one and half years in office. This time during ambode's administration, roads had been constructed, bridges including abule egba millennium ridge had been delivered ahead of schedule, etc. All we see in this govt is demolition of lekki and Allen round about monuments all in the name of beautification just to embezzle. Same sanwoolu claimed his govt was spending btw 100k and 1m naira to treat just one covid-19 patient daily . I wonder which drugs and manners was he giving them.. fight for your right bro. Lagos can be free.

Yea I saw where you praised Fashola, BRF na baba, no be there mate. But sanwo-olu has continued from the legacy of BRF. Many people don't notice that because it's overshowed by the hate they have for Tinubu. You can't on one hand say Sanwo-olu is doing nothing meanwhile you've either blocked or you're not following the state's government's handles on social media.
Personally because I want to stay informed and not be misled by trolls like anonimi, I created a twitter lists for all lagos state MDAs to get updated on what the state is doing and boy, they're doing their best! https://twitter.com/i/lists/1313354512820842497

I don't agree with the part you say you have to wrest political control from Tinubu. There was something Fashola said one time when he was asked the secret to his success while In office, and he mentioned that he focused on governance while Tinubu, his mentor helped him handle the political affairs. And this is the truth, most governors are distracted today from the affairs of governance because they're also neck-deep in politics. Government policies mostly have political repercussions, that's why someone like Tinubu is still relevant in the affairs of Lagos, but note this, Tinubu is nothing without his followers. They trust his judgments, they listen to him and he also listens to them (that's why Ambode isn't a governor today). Of course, I don't always agree with his style because he doesn't seem to respect that every tribe has their cultural peculiarities, that's why he made that bad move of granting the press conference before the edo election.

Now, you made some untrue claims. There hasn't been any of the housing schemes that has been abandoned by Sanwo-olu. I think you're not properly informed that's why you have made this submission. He has launched some schemes and like this thread has reported, he plans to launch some more before the end of the year. I don't see how that should be called an abandonment.

Ahh, the lagos waterways transport is very functional now. Please go to twitter and visit the handle @Lagferry, they're very updated there. You can see, this is another misinformation I'm referring to here. The local canoes and ferries are operated by the private operators. The ones you see in this thread created by naptu2 are operated by lagos state https://www.nairaland.com/5669189/sanwoolu-launches-lagos-ferrys-commercial and their activities are being regulated by Lagos state waterways authority @TalkToLaswa is their handle on twitter and they're active.

As per the minimum wage own, honestly i cant make a comment on that because I don't have much info on it.

Sanwo-olu can point to some achievements during his 1year + as a governor. His main focus has been completing all inherited and abandoned projects in Lagos. I can see you're not aware of the huge amounts of projects he inherited. Would you advise a progressive governor to leave the projects he inherited to start a new one so that he can be seen as having an achievement? Should he abandon the red line and blue line rail and start a purple line so that it can be seen that he started and completed a project C'mon!

Eriokanmi:
Obaseki own na the real housing scheme with 24-hour power supply, unlike what you had in place. This had been in place since early this year and the project is ongoing already, not to talk of those he started last year.

Fashola even tried and it was because he didn't agree with tinubu on many terms, the decision which made tinubu try to prevent him from doing 2nd term but failed cos lagosians had been expecting him to defect to another party and that would have been the end of tinubu in lagos because they were planning to vote him overwhelmingly, had tinubu dropped him. This got him scared and made him leave fashola alone. He hated fashola so much that he didn't want to nominate him as minister but baba said he preferred fashola to work with him. Obaseki housing scheme no be the one hitech go take siphon money from lagos pocket all in the name of providing affordable housing by building a housing unit at the cost of 3.

Edo's project na robust one as it includes an industrial park. It is ongoing already. The popupar Emotan Gardens is one of them. Come and see for yourself obaseki no dey make noise, 18 of such estates in Benin alone with each having over 700 units. All when put together would surpass what sanwoolu is shouting upandan about . These poppets are jokers

Oya, read the below...

This is a nice development from the Obaseki-led Edo state government. And this isn't different from LagosHOMS. So I don't understand why tackle Lagos scheme and praise Edo's scheme

The problem I have is that some of you folks on this thread will want me to believe Edo's scheme is the real deal, while that of Lagos is not, simply because you dislike Tinubu. Someone has even said the housing delivery is audio meanwhile they won't call Edo state's own audio.

I understand the bias. It's Tinubu that is the problem. So even if Sanwo-olu delivers 50,000 housing scheme before the endo of 2021, u an go still call am audio

adewad13:
I need some detailed explanation on this...pls how can someone who earns between 30-40k monthly afford a house of 2-4 million. How please?

Via mortgage. They spread the payment for about 5-10 years. You don't need to pay at once. Just maybe a 15% down payment then you'll pay the balance for a certain number of months till you complete it. That's what LagosHOMS is all about

Fejimummy:
were you abi to afford it? did they make any open offer for everyone ? last last na party members go get am

Yes they made an open offer to everyone because they have a dedicated website to it.

miketayo:
Seems u don't know ur gov

Then please tell me

This mindset you're having is very wrong.

So should we now stay without a government because we don't believe they can get anything done right?

adewad13:
like the one they've delivered in time past....A housing scheme that a common man cannot benefit from is not regarded as mass housing.
until the lowest rank civil servant can benefit from such then it can be regarded as housing scheme.

Who are they building them for!

Oga, the past housing schemes that have been launched have been bought by other common men.

And what do you mean by the bolded

https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/sanwo-olu-hands-over-492-homes-promises-affordable-mass-housing/r96wwmn

dival247:
I hate when leave the fact. This housing of a thing , do u have the ideal cost of the apartment 85M AND 135M.

Oga there are also houses of 3M and 5M sold. It depends on the location. How do you expect a house built by the government in high brow areas to go for 1M because you want it to be available to the poor masses? How will the government get their gain and plough back into the system to build more houses?

mamaafrik:
Lagos have no business of constructing Houses ,they want to "Maradonna us" and build for houses their cronies again.
Just provide enabling infrastructure like road,Transport and pipe borne water,we have water, lagos is a cluster water distribution won't be as expensive as other states with less Population density ,call in Isrealis to Build water works near sea desalinate ,treat and distribute to house holds.
Awon arindin deede

You are the arindin here. If you don't understand the essence of the housing schemes Lagos started, why not ask and be educated instead of wailing ignorantly.

See the reasoning of someone who may probably have an opportunity to be in position of authority someday.

Eriokanmi:
lolz. Lagos can never be edo and edo can never be lagos of course. The 30k minimum wage sanwoolu said he would start paying last month had since been implemented by obaseki in February and edo civil servants had been enjoying this ever since. FYI, there are housing projects going on here too, which nobody is making mouth about. Las las na Tinubu's owned hitech go do the job at ridiculously inflated cost, if true. Una mumu never do.

You're just a critic with nothing meaningful to contribute if not you wont sprout this nonsense

Lagos has been doing home schemes since the time of Fashola and we have been seeing the results. Oya show us Obaseki's own, make we see

ekaette1621:
oya Oga Titus,

tell us wetin you sabi

Oga pessimist, where were you when allocation of homes under LAGOSHOMS schemes made frontpage of Nairaland

Na only to shout audio audio u na sabi. When the news about lagos awarding beneficiaries of this scheme makes it out now, your type will be nowhere to be found.

If government do, na audio. if dem no do, dey're incompetent. Do you want a government to do and not do at the same time.

Na wa for you critics ooo

ekaette1621:
audio housing schemes

if you know, you know

You don't know anything Oga

https://www.nairaland.com/6146495/insolvency-budgit-apologises-lagos-state

Check this thread, Budgit has come out to debunk the report but I know you lots won't want to see that so that your agenda will continue to agend

Racoon:
Lagos of all states with all the IGRs? Our SW brethren were hyping the SE as the economically backward region but guess the reality is more clearer now?

Like seriously? I can see you're not a constructive critic at all.

Did you log out of Nairaland when it made news here that Budgit has retracted this report of theirs?

Yet just because you want to find every opportunity to diss Lagos, you folks have started again.

This matter has been buried and the originators of the report has apologized to Lagos, so better move on and look for a new propaganda you can diss Lagos

Carmal90:
He is also a technocrat, but you can't compare hamzat with fashola,ambode and sanwo-olu...
He has a strong political background...

Well that's true. His dad was a strong politician and was said to be one of the founders of Justice forum.

Carmal90:
Are you sure they will want hazmat??
Hazmat is a core politician, I doubt if he will be considered.
Regards

Please sir, what do you mean by being a core politician?

Are you insinuating he's not a technocrat or?

viyon02:
oga we know Tinubu want his son to be the next Governor, and some forces do not it. am a real Lagosian I know what am saying ok.

Okay sir. I'm not a real Lagosian, I'm just a Lagosian by virtue of residency so I'm not privy to that information of what Tinubu wants.

If it's true, which I still doubt, he won't succeed at all in making his son the governor.
