stillwater: ^^^Errr that was not me, but my sister. Was just advertising her webpage.

NRI PRIEST: Alh harem,so every Igbo girl born in lagos will openly date a yoruba?? You are deceiving yourself and you know it!

stillwater: Lollll, better not get hyperactive over nothing. Your brothers have been throwing 'FACTS' from their own perspective you didn't have problems with it, because it was sweeting your belle. Better let me a female's perspective to this issue. [size11pt]Lagos people have a certain rapport among themselves,[/size] definitely does not mean Igbo and Yoruba are now the same.

ypzilanti: Dude, stop being dAft. Google was created for a reason. Do your research. 'what has been known for long' is not a valid argument. It was 'known' for long that the earth was at the center of the universe and all the planets rotated around it. Also 'it was known' that the earth was flat.

Google it, come back and apologize to NLders.

nakedall: The building go collapse soon!

The Lagos Mega City Development Authority is undertaking the LRMT scheme from Iddo to Ijoko as a priority project for implementation within the mega-city. The LRMT scheme is being financed by the Federal Government (45%), Lagos State Government (40%), and Ogun State Government (15%).

Beaf: FG: 45% + LSG: 40% + Ogun state: 15%. TOTAL = 100%
No?
Where does that leave private sector financing by Investec Plc etc?

jason123: No one will get you a link because they are lairs! How can ECOWAS love Lagos so much to give Nigerians a railway, free of charge? Are they that daft? I mean, its not even an intercity rail (except Ogun state), not to talk of a rail that connects Nigeria with Benin rep. So, what would be the point of ECOWAS (all west african countries ) to finance such a capital intensive project??!

Most of these guys are simply daft!

In this project, the[b] public sector contribution[/b] is as shown:

FG: 45%
LSG: 40%
Ogun state: 15%

Private sector:
With financing led by Investec Plc

manny4life: Anyone with the Link to an ECOWAS project? My people, let us STOP spreading lies, hatred and rumors. It doesn't do good justice to neither of us. Unless I'm wrong, Lagos Rail is a PPP project, so I'm confused to how it's an ECOWAS project. Nevertheless, like I previously stated before, light rail is economically efficient than monorail, the numbers speak for themselves.

Eko Rail is entering into an innovative public-private partnership with the government of Lagos State to equip, operate and maintain the Blue Line for 25 years. Negotiations are being finalized and a concession agreement is expected to be signed in the near future. Lagos State has already started to make significant progress with building the rail tracks and stations. Eko Rail is utilizing URS Scott Wilson, one of the world's leading railway infrastructure consultancies, to ensure that the infrastructure is built to global standards.

The Lagos State Government is also constructing a light rail system under a public private partnership (PPP).

Both lines were developed on a PPP basis, with the Lagos State Government providing all rail and station infrastructure. The private sector will be invited to operate the system under a 25 year concession structure.

alj harem: we keep hearing Ecowas left and right but we can't find a link or documentation to this Ecowas deal Nigeria/Lagos made with Ecowas.

Maybe people have forgotten with Light rail mean. How would a light rail serve Ecowas any propose ? I ask ?

It is purely a Nigerian project funded by Nigeria which we should be proud of.

Revolva: Its an ecowas project fool what else do you wanna know abi are you a bad belle for your own nation the purpose of the projects is to meet transportation needs of nigerians and benenois even ghanaians togolese , ok bitch ask google

alj harem: SMH so you know you are not an architect or structural engineer and you think those factors would not have been taken into acocunt ?

SMH

Arosa: Thanks Jason123.

omakay: It is an ECOWAS project. Lagos State is benefiting because it serves as gateway to other West African Countries.....

Beaf: I do not see any access for disabled people. There should at least be a ramp or lift.

chima12: close your rotten mouth their,who doesnt know that you highlighted the names because of their tribe?idiootic ape.

all4naija: I still disagree. The suspension is not actually what you would see in a suspension bridge. Even without the ones on IKoyi Bridge most of the bridge can still stand. The pictures posted by Jason123 is a testament to that. The point where the cables are in contact with the bridge just tens of meters away have supports. Take a closer look at the first and last picture by Jason123.

It still looks to me as more of fancy than supports.

These images below better illustrate what I am talking about.
