This is the show some jokers want scrapped

Today is public holiday. So if I was in Anambra and because I don't have any place to go to today so I stay back at home, does it mean I'm obeying IPOBs order?

Does that mean even with the coming on stream of dangote refinery, fuel won't be sold cheaper?
Ahh

Google search result brought me here

This is bad oo. Only 2trillion out of 13 for capex

joyandfaith:
lagos is most underdeveloped state in Nigeria.

And which state is the most developed in Nigeria?

Bump

Bump

tot:
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

tot:
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

Faithful007:
Can you name one proven investor already out with money to sponsor the project. That's how you people will see white elephant project and yet not recognize it.

Oga, the expression of interest was put out for the 4MB some months back and the government has pruned down their numbers from 30 to about 5 or so.

The names of the companies were also published and it made NL too. Maybe you just weren't following but I'm already tired of educating everyone here jare.

O ti sun mi

Reference:
Get those online first. If you can attract 2.2 billion dollars for a road why cant you do more for the metro. Break it up and find concessionaires to BOT. Inner city transport the world over is no it built by administrations but over generations, each administration 'adding on'.

If the Fashola administration had just done one single track and a handful of stations, today many more routes will have been added leaving the 3rd mainland largely deserted, but the lack of vision pushed them to gobble up much more than they could chew and it is now choking.

Same political party, same godfather and yet one is not heading anywhere before the second white elephant is born. Do they know that even with Federal resources it took more than a decade for the 3rd Mainland to be built. It is no easy task. Why try to cross water when you have not fully exhausted options on land.

The blue line is solely financed by the Lagos State government, the other rail lines that are also in the pipeline would be done via PPP. See ehn, it's just because there was a slight delay in the delivery of the blue line during Ambode's tenure and we all can see Ambode is no longer there.

And don't stay on the sideline to accuse the government of lack of vision. If they had no vision, they won't have conceived an integrated rail master plan in the first place

tot:
The point is they are not functional and people are spending hours of their lives each day in traffic. People waking up 4am just to get to work. It's a shame on these leaders.

Yes, they're not yet functional. But hopefully they will be once the project is completed.

We can't make it functional you know, if it's not yet completed.

Tareq1105:
Meaning what?

You guys should not create issues among them please.

Let's allow them to concentrate and work together. No division pls.

Nah, I guess you didn't get what I meant. During the campaign, Hamzat being a former commissioner for works was so passionate about seeing this project come to life. So now he's there, he's spearheading the project coordination.

My post had no intention to cause any rift between both sir

ghettochild:
Stop talking nonsense jor

Okay sorry sir, don't be pained

TheWrita:
And you know the bizarre reality that will unfold?
They will probably demolish those houses and render hundreds of people homeless.
Then lay one or two pillars there
And abandon it for the next 15 years or so.

God help the ones that don't have their papers cos they surely can't help themselves.

Why are you guys always pessimistic with whatever the government does? Or you prefer they do nothing?

tollyboy5:
If I give you better slap! Already? Till I go born my grand child?
The blue rail na rocket science?

The latest update from the blue line is that it will be completed by 2022. I understand work is going on, there have been delays, I'll also admit. I hope it comes to reality by then so that you won't give me a better slap that'll reset my destiny

ccollins:
you are aware that the Badagary roads are still very bad shape

Yes sir. I'm also aware that some network of roads were recently completed in Badagry. Maybe they'll soon get to the bad ones, we hope!

TLE900:
True talk. They always want to embark on ambitious projects where they will enrich their pockets. They won't think of ambitious projects where the poor can become rich hence closing poverty index

Are you aware that in the course of doing this project, a lot of people will be employed and paid? Isn't that a way of enriching people's pockets too

Amotekun777:
Buhari's left scrotum.

I should have asked what do some Lagosians want, and not Nigerians. This thread is about Lagos

tot:
Why not focus on developing rail? A megacity without a well connected rail system in 2020 is not it. What exactly is wrong with African leaders?

Lagos state has about six rail line projects in the pipeline. The first two, blue and red line will hopefully come on stream by 2022

dumodust:
It's interesting that nobody has actually asked the question- which houses will go

The houses on the ROW for the bridge will go

Maxymilliano:
Haa the government completed the Lagos light rail and Badagry express way started over a decade ago

The govt has promised this will be ready for the masses by 2022. They're in the third and final phase of the project now.

Ezmans:
Lagos badagry has been forgotten useless goverment

How has it been forgotten?

The government just commissioned some roads projects they just completed few weeks ago.

Zetty177x:
probably AGPA

Are you whyning me?

tot:
Well, I recall a number of threads showcasing his achievements. With the level of hardship in Nigeria, sentiments alone can't get anyone far.

Not up to this Aketi's own. Just so you know, I was supporting Obaseki but when I realised he didn't have so much to promote on terms of achievements, I felt disappointed.

Or maybe he has because I don't live in Edo, but his social media handlers and fans preferred using the Edo no be lagos and end godfatherism trends to campaign for him.

I don't like when I support someone and when I'm asked to defend him, I don't have much to show except being sentimental to his cause.

wirinet:
Pipe dream. Like the proverb; when hunters learn to shoot without missing, birds learn to fly without perching. With more bridges and roads will result in more cars and trucks.

Lagos needs to spend money on city rails and water transportation. No city in the world, especially mega city, depends on cars and busses as the main means of public transportation.

Lagos is already spending money on the city rail (they have blue line and red line in progress) and they've also invested in water transportation via @Lagferry

Cyberterror:
To me, the project is just a waste of resources because basically the proposed route of this new bridge is same as the third mainland bridge. It will even "flyover" the third mainland bridge!! So it is more of an ego trip than a necessity. That 2.2 billion dollars will be more beneficial if it is used to pave the many unpaved roads in the satellite towns of Lagos State.

It's not a waste of resources. The project would be financed by private investors and they'll recoup their investment via the tolls.

The many unpaved roads are currently receiving attention by the Lagos public works even without the 2.2billion trillion

Jafar1:
U don't understand.. As much as the idea sounds great, its also an avenue to enrich their pocket..

If they don't build it, you'll say the government is not living up to their responsibility. Now they plan to do, you're accusing them of wanting to use this project to loot.

What do some of you Nigerians want?

This isn't new. But seeing that Hamzat is the one spearheading the construction of this bridge, I see it as something that will be a reality before the end of their 8 years tenure hopefully

tot:
And Obaseki still won, so what's your point?

As for this thread, it really doesn't matter because those on ground whose lives are being impacted by his governance will make their choice.

It's the sentiments that got Obaseki reelected that is my point of concern.

I'll prefer a government whether in PDP or APC to be elected based on the strength of their performance than on sentiments.

Zetty177x:
Exactly .but nobody wants APC. That's the issue

So people now want a PDP?
