I think we're in the same category.Those who know about it should rescue us.I'm waiting to learn as well

see my response above...

IyaIode:
I think you are mixing up the rail and road projects. I may be wrong though.

Waiting to learn

You are right... the rail terminate in Okokomaiko, while the 10 lanes continue to Badagry.

There is the Blue Line from Okokomaiko to Marina; the Red Line from Agbado to Marina via Iddo and Muritala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA); the Green Line from Marina to Lekki (Airport) ; the Yellow Line from Otta to Iddo and the Purple Line from Redeem to Ojo.

There are also the Orange Line from Redeem to Marina and the Brown Line from Mile 12 to Marina.

In this layout, there are the North-South corridor between Agbado and Iddo along the Nigerian Railway corridor; the Eastern corridor to serve the Lekki to Epe axis; and the western corridor to serve the Mile2 – Okokomaiko axis.

The Blue Line, a 27 km rail road with thirteen stations from Okokomaiko to Marina is currently undergoing construction right in the middle of Lagos-Badagry Expressway which government is currently expanding and redeveloping into a ten-lane international gateway. Apart from rail, the infrastructure design also includes provision for BRT and multimode integration with Non-Motorized Transport such as pedestrian walkways and overhead bridges for safe access by passengers to rail and bus stations.

Work commenced in August 2009 for construction of the Blue Line rail infrastructure, awarded to China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) as a design and build contract. CCECC prepared the detailed plan, design and construction works for the rail infrastructure. These works includes stations, roadbed, bridges, permanent way (P-way) tracks works, pedestrian ways and other associated fixed infrastructure.

“The first phase is between National theatre and Mile 2; that was actually awarded in 2010 and we are hoping that by 2014 that phase will be finished and then move on from Mile 12 to Okokomaiko and then come back to National Theatre to construct the infrastructure to Marina.”

Are sa and ekoi le1 have created enough threads on fashola's projects. I disagree with you

If you believe the post and PR threads of those working and eating from the state coffer apart from the reality, I have no objection to your opinion.

Peace!

I think we need to float another political party in Southwest.

I'd prefer a new political party. I'm sick of this CHANGE.

We shouldn't be contented with the performance of our governors, we should keep asking for more because SW should have developed past this stage we are.

Oodua Development Political Party (ODPP) would be nice.

Yoruba Interest Comes First, To Hell With The Saboteurs (Both PDP and APC).

God Bless Yorubaland.

Honestly, the profiteering must stop.

Assassinations and destruction of that Yoruba heritage party for personal and selfish interest.

I don't understand the rationale of your question with my post and Eleyele ni Ilu Ibadan ?


Please be explicit...?

IyaIode:
Why then do you think the project has stalled, the federal government at the time didn't deny fashola's claim

If we are all open to learn the issue and the discrepancy in Fashola's statement? I can open the case and link the errors for our study.

IyaIode:
I don't think the rail was ever meant to get to badagry.

Unless it was tactically changed, I am very sure it was originally planned to get to Badagry.

I can call my Egun brother (Gunuvi) to confirm, but let me check my news achieve...

BRB...

IlekeHD:
Am I the tall elegant bird?

TBH, I don't know much about the Lagos rail....I can only speculate and ask questions.

I am worried about the amount of loans Lagos has accumulated and what this means for the SW when we break away from mischief makers.

IlekeHD,

I do have attachment to PDP having financed grassroots politicians in my constituency.

But I see the truth, but our people are not honest with the truth.

Lagos State is highly geared, the debt is too high compared to the claimed projects.

Ema jeki a lo ila kuro le ko, eko o kola.

The debt and the corresponding projects does not match.

IyaIode:
The light rail is a mass transit system being developed by
the state. It is still under construction after gulping billions
of naira.
Speaking during his traditional 100 days account rendering
exercise at the LTV ground in Ikeja, the governor urged
Lagosians to vote for the APC governorship candidate in the
state, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, saying he has all it takes to
continue all the projects he might not be able to complete.
Blaming lack of federal government support for the
uncompleted rail project, Fashola said all over the world,
when cities and states build municipal rails like what Lagos
is doing, their central governments support them morally
and financially.
He said the federal government has failed to support Lagos
and Rivers States which embarked on light rail projects
because they are states administered by the opposition
party.
“If Lagosians vote for General Muhammadu Buhari next
month, the new federal government will assist Ambode in
this regard,” he said. Fashola said no government can
complete all projects.

dailytrust.com.ng/daily/news/45536-we-can-t-complete-lagos-light-rail-project-fashola

IyaIode,

All this Fashola comment are political gibberish,

The rail project is World Bank Assisted project, thou requires FG support.

If we take our time to critically examine Fashola's many comments you will see contradiction.

zimoni:
That project should have been completed by now.

Politrickcians can't be trusted, they are very good at shifting goalpost.

It shall be well, I believe.


HELP IS ON THE WAY.

Omo Iya,

If someone promised you nothing but to boost your trade, wont you be happy?

And if the person now failed in his promise, and keep shifting the goal post unnecessarily, how would you feel ?

One of the many reason I hate ACN turned APC. (too much lies)

We are getting closer to the truth.

Aareonakakanfo:
The blue line is from Okoko-Marina.I want to know if the 8 lane road from mile 2-badagry is part of the rail project or an entirely different project because this is what I found on their website and i didn't see anything like badagry

Blue Line - Okokomaiko to Marina
Red Line - Agbado to Marina via Iddo and Muritala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA)
Other routes for development are:
Green Line -Marina to Lekki (Airport)
Yellow Line -Otta to Iddo
Purple Line Redeem to Ojo
Orange Line- Redeem to Marina
Brown Line- Mile 12 to Marina

I don't know why is was omitted in that list, Marina to Badagry was in the original design and plan.

I can check the news achieve.

nduchucks:
Olopa ewon'tekpe? dolo

So Firefire is an impostor?

If you too na Yoruba, you better post your oriki, I believe Yoruba Race will soon be making cash payout for originals and not fake....

If we are ready to listen to each other, I am ready to open up reasons why I don't support the fraudulent politicians in SW claiming leaders.

laudate:
Here is some info on the on-going state of works on the rail project that Lagos State govt is executing along Lagos-Badagry expressway and other areas;



Please note: Nothing has been done concerning the Red line, Green line and the other proposed rail lines (i.e. Purple line, Orange line etc). Only the Blue line from Lagos Island to Okokomaiko, shows some signs of construction activity. The completion date has already been shifted 4 times - thrice by the previous administration, and once by the Ambode-led govt.

May God save us all!

Sorry, you mean Ambode also have shifted his own delivery date ?

Please what is the proposed new delivery date ?

Aareonakakanfo:
Seems not so many people know what's going on regarding the whole Lagos light rail thing.Even those who reside in Lagos.na wah ooo.We asked whether its realistic or not,

Someone told us its good news
One even told us she wants to go get breakfast only to come back and ask us more questions
One was totally off-point
One was telling us about Oyo empire

Anyways, let me show you some beautiful houses in Jericho GRA Ibadan

I have a lot of interest in that region where the light rail project was. (Iganmu - Badagry)

You can imagine what would be the market value of properties in that region assuming Lagos State Government under Babatunde Fashola delivered to promise, instead the delivery dates was shifted severally and the space of work in worrisome, up till now, still half way, they are yet to even get to Military barracks in Ojo and houses has been demolished up to Okokomaiko.

This is painful, and the road users are suffering daily on the route.

modath:
Even if you lifted that oriki from some place, you yaff tirai.. Kare awe ..

Cc Anti IlekeHD

Ki firefire se ileri fun wa pe oro ile yoruba aa je paramount ninu ookan aya re..

How can I lift my own oriki... funny.

I represent everything that will move my race forward either home or away.

However, I will never support the inhuman policies of the fraudsters claiming leaders in Yorubaland starting from the traitor BAT.

laudate:
The rail tracks have been laid from Agboju to Iganmu. Concrete pillars to extend the rail tracks across the canal linking Iganmu and Lagos Island are currently being installed.

My grouse with them is that the pace of work is just too bloody slow!!

Since rail tracks have been laid from Iganmu to Agboju, can't they commence train operations on that axis, pending when the other leg would be completed? It would reduce the horrible traffic on that axis.

I have spent 3-4 hours in traffic (one-way) on that road before. Believe me, it is no joke!

God bless you fro bringing this up issue.

The space of work and the shift in delivery dates by Fashola is one of the many reason I stay in the opposition.

People living in that part of Lagos are suffering... daily and per hour while passing through that region.

IlekeHD:
ndu chucks, that fulani clown, speaks Yoruba too.

Are you convinced with my submission or you need the pic of my father's tribal mark ?

I hope I would be handsomely paid.

Thanks to the FAKE CHANGE.

Gbawe:
Ogbeni, do you ever see issues beyond APC vs PDP? The legislative arm of government is probably the worst and most worthless to Nigeria. Only few in the Senate, whether APC or PDP, actually take their responsibility to the people seriously. These irresponsible Senators, APC and PDP, are merely showing the world that they are aberrant. As far as the charges against Saraki are not bogus or fictitious then every law-abiding citizen, even if they believe he is innocent, should encourage him to face the accusations against him. Senators have a duty to Nigeria and Nigerians above any allegiance they owe a Senate president. They are not Saraki's relative and this follow-follow charade will amount to nothing in the end.

Chief Gbawe,

I think we are coming closer to calling a spade a spade.

Do you know what pushed me to this position? Calling some angels while some are devil and looters.

ACN through Alh. Lie Mohammed made us to believe the only arms of government responsible to the masses in Nigeria is the presidency.

I keep asking what about the LG Chairmen, State House of Reps., Fed. Reps, Senators and governors.

The evil politics played by ACN turned APC using Lie Mohamed will not go unanswered, unless he tender unreserved apologies to Nigerians.

Forget that am from the SW, I will not hesitate to support any one seen to have been victimized and demonized. (Reason, I am supporting the hero of modern democracy)

If you need honest truth from me, PDP as a party is full of corrupt and extremely corrupt individuals, unfortunately all fully emptied into St. APC. (Where is now the change?)

I will leave the issue of Lagos fraudulent administration and profiteering to another day.

The message remains: All politicians in Nigeria irrespective of political party are fraudulent and extremely corrupt.

There was a particular study on fraud which is called the 80/10/10 rules, it is explained as always, never and could; meaning, it’s certain that 10% of the people will commit fraud, the other 10% will never commit fraud while the remaining 80% could commit fraud given the sufficient pressure and the right opportunity. (APA, 2011 and Fischer, 2014)

waooooooooooooo


Buhary, Azhak Allah sinnaka.

Gaskia:
You mean Buhari said Abacha is not corrupt?

This is shocking if true, if true then PMB has his personal definition for corruption, not what we all think.

Yes!

[size=14pt]Buhary and APC purported fight against corruption is farce. [/size]

We don't believe all these cat and mouse stories.

I concur...

Project Muhammadu Buhari 2015:

"Again, they saw that Nigerians were 'tired' of successive PDP administrations (which they were active players), they moved base to APC and Buhari, who many saw as the incorruptible and sincere General that has zero-tolerance for anything corruption. Just like his predecessors, Buhari has technically dished what he once stood for to please those that 'Brought him to power'. Appointing same people into position of authority and moving around with these worthy allies that helped brought "PDP" down. None of his promise to Nigerians has been fulfilled even after SIX months in office. Again Nigerians are wondering whether they made mistake on March 28. Though a huge disappointment, Buhari still has the luxury of three and half years to put things right".

Jesusloveyou:
have u ever condemned ur clueless corrupt hero and his cronies

Yes, severally sir.

MayorofLagos:
A fulani sociopolitical group has warned FFK to apologize for calling them tsetse fly or be taken to court.

As we speak members of this group are still carrying unlicensed assault rifles and weapons and continue to kill the people of Middle Belt and burn their houses and violate the women and children.

If you support FFK click Like to register your vote.

To hell with fulani!

My friend, take it easy ooo.

Because one of the selfish leader in SW team-up with the head of the Fulani's ?

The herdsmen now have monopoly of killing, carrying unlicensed riffles and other abuse of power as you posited. (They have an advocate inside the rock)

For the avoidance of all doubts, warts & all tand with PMB till I PERSONALLY feel otherwise, & since he can't run as an independent then I'm SYMPATHETIC to his platform!! Same as it was in CPC!! Hope I'm clear.

What's my biz with APC's drama?

So you are posturing that PDP is better?

Like any of those legislathieves care beyond securing their seats & obscene wealth.

What a more ridiculous joke!!

All politicians in Nigeria are rogues and looters beginning from 1999.

The habit of praise-singing some over the other is what I detest.
