First i must state that I'm not in any way affiliated with PDP or any other party there are all the same. Give excuses all you want but the fact which you and your fellow bootlickers have descided to shy away from is that a 35km rail project should not take a decade to complete it's inexcusable. Even the light rail in Ethiopia you are shouting took 36 months to complete.

Sorry o APC apologist I steped on your nerves.

Your fellow APC bootlickers were trying to justify the Lagos railways project

which has taken forever to complete and I posted that Ethiopia built a 759km railway which took 5yrs to complete Which is factually true only to be accused of lying. This is why politicians with continue to shave your heads with impunity cuz you keep giving excuse for their ineptitude. E Pele olorun a je ke bo ninue

When did those guys make any noise? You come to Nairaland to hear banter being thrown by kids and you equate it to busy men. My friend shift one side.

You think they even know you lot exist, Abeg shift with your air of importance. Nothing wey person no go see for this forum.

djon78:
So what are you really implying? Are there not massive number of igbos doing extremely very well in Lagos? Own massive properties there. Does it stop them from being blessed?
There are thousands of dollars millionaires of igbo extraction living in Lagos and even Alausa recognises there importance. They pay there tax to Lagos State government and when I mean tax I am talking significant amount. Most of you should stop coming online to make noise.

I am not here to start bragging or this, but those in charge of Lagos State know the value they add to the economy of the state even Asiwaju knows that so kids like you should just shush up.

resurgent2019:
Until you sit down and develop your states, other Nigerians will not respect igbos or give them the opportunity to lead the country.

As for Biafra, consistent, effective and strategic planning will get igbos Biafra if they really want it. The fact is that igbos are not ready for Biafra yet. It is only a tool to secure political mileage and interest in Nigeria.

We can’t keep coaching you on how to get Biafra.

"When I was a President I worked for NEXT Generation and NOT next Election. It's inhuman for Politicians to promise and fail to deliver and still promising just for the sake of reelection". - Goodluck Jonathan..buhari why

vankaid:
I am not interested in ultimately unfruitful back and forth with you because you are not going to admit you are wrong even when shown any unsubstantiated claim you make.
The only lesson I would like you to learn from all these is that throwing around fake facts to make yourself appear smart might work for few but will mostly make you look stupid to many others.

Jaideyone:
really? those train stations along the road are free right? didn't you read where is did the procurement stage is complete which means the coaches might have been paid for?

what do you know about infrastructure

vankaid:
You are lying but you don't even know it because you have not been to Addis Ababa before and you didn't bother that someone else here might have.

You guys here are ready to swear under oath or risk your life to defend corrupt politicians even when you will not get shi shi out of it.

Ethiopian Light rail doesnt ALL run on land just like Lagos Light rail as well doesn't on the Badagry expressway axis.

ifiokjohn:
that is ur own opinion Mr. atleast am not as bigoted as u not to recognise that APC is same as PDP and that we have to hold our leaders accountable not matter which party.
Keep supporting a PDP in a diff pack, e go clear for ur eyes when akwa ibom go surpass ur Lagos, say na small e remain?

kunmiiii:
I swear down, it's becoming rampant... NL suppose open section for them!! Most of them can't reason or form logical conclusions themselves, they succumb to flock effect and follow the bandwagon, Its freaking irritating and enraging, imagine one up there saying its all lies and not possible cos Nigeria needs 24hrs power without regarding and reading the post about the IPP plan that's been implemented, another said Ethiopia's was 750km!!! Oh Gosh!!!

wristbangle:
Deomelo,

I'm aware 100 million euro can't complete the project. The mentioned amount if it is 100% implemented would have travails the project beyond it's current state of development.

Need to say, atleast some percentage would have been shared from the government to the contractor (corporate corruption )

I understand the cons withholding the project completion such as topography, cost estimate, etc. Had it been the project manager/coordinator did a thorough feasibility study from the onset, a more realistic pipeline and fund management will be recorded for this project progress

RockHard:
Oga, abeg don't just join a conversation to feel among only to end up sounding stuupid. Do you know what and how long/far 750km actually is? Better don't let me abuse you this evening.

wristbangle:
A whooping amount of 100 million euros could drive the project beyond it's currently state of development. So much round tripping, siphoning and magnanimous corruption.

Realdeals:
Stop disgracing yourself, not knowing is nothing special, I'm not in that field. What I know is that $600million has been spent so far on the project out of which Ambode claim to have spent 100M Euro (i.e almost One third of the total sum) and the project is yet to cross the lagoon.

Fashola completed all the above pictures with rail stations

bigsmoke2:
Ethiopians railway spans a distance of about 750 km Lagos railway is just 35km

[b]System length 31.6 km (19.6 mi)

Abeg, stop comparing apples with cocoyams. You just said that Ottawa's light rail is expected to run underground. This means drilling, excavation, concrete tunnels etc, would be prevalent in the Ottawa design. Did any part of the Lagos light rail run underground? How much excavation was done, down here? The Ottawa Light Rail is expected to include a 3.2km-long downtown tunnel, unlike the Lagos light rail.

Secondly, the type of trains to be used for the Ottawa light rail system, are quite different from the Tokunbo models that would be deployed on the Lagos light rail system. They are brand new swanky Bombardier bullet trains, not the same type as those proposed for Lagos LRT.

Thirdly, the Ottawa light rail is expected to span 6 years for the entire project, from inception to completion. Lagos light rail has been under construction for how many years again....remind me?

Realdeals:
Can you tell me how much has been expended so far on the project? I don't know, I just know the whole contract including the road expansion is about $600m and out of which Ambode claim to have spent 100M Euro
What I also know is that out of the amount Ambode have spent so far, No rail station was built, even the piling across the Lagoon has not reached any appreciable level, the only work that was done on that project is between Ebute ero and CMS, what else?

Obviously there is poor accountability and transparency as far as this project is concerned. Yet see what a supposed youth had to say:

Realdeals:
You mean 100m Euro has been expended between Iganmu and Marina and the work is yet to be completed? Fashola completed Iganmu to Mile 2 before leaving office.
They should also stop deceiving themselves with the red lane, FG is still struggling to create space for the Lagos-Ibadan rail track in some places like Oshodi and Ikeja

LaudableXX:
Guy, which other light rail project in the world is as expensive as the one that Lagos has embarked upon? Over 100 million Euro has been spent, and yet it is unfinished. Instead of trying to do a root cause analysis, we are giving excuses of topography and swamps? Haba! If the same topography and swamp existed in another country, the light rail would have been completed and put into operation, since! How many years have they spent building that thing, and yet it is still uncompleted?

ifiokjohn:
Well what consign me with Lagos? Lagos can go to hell for all i care, yorubas like bragging with Lagos n u will be thinking it is one Dubai.
I will just keep praying my beautiful Uyo keeps on improving, udom and subsequent governors that come keep doing well, for the time will come and we will construct our own trains which will not take 'forever' like lagos.

seguno2:
Did Reuters manufacture the news or they reported what Fashola said , which conflicts with what he said earlier, meaning that he was telling a lie.

I answered your co-traveler already.
Stop trying so hard to appear reasonable.

oyb:
Did you miss the mention from reuter?

Jobless ipobians

oyb:
Don't mind the good for nothings.

seguno2:
Why should we believe this coming from the interested parties who have a reputation for being demonic liars?
Fashola himself said with his own mouth that the federal government of Jonathan and PDP approved $1 billion (N160 billion back then) specifically for the light rail as I posted previously.
You should ask yourself how the $1 billion changed to $200 million. I hope that you are smart enough to ask and reason it out. Are you
