Next spot for NMS services should be westlands. They need to come and recarpete all teared roads and fix pedestrian lanes.
Westlands is slowly becoming a world class city.

Upper hill viaduct is also under construction.which is a different project all together.

NIGGA, u are a pathetic liar, stop consoling your self, your SGR can never break even , even with fact that your government forced importers to use the costly new Chinese railway, yet no profit has been recorded,your loss making venture has failed to break even for the fourth year in a row you have been able to rakes in a paltry $101 million in sales with massive operating cost.
stop brushing your egos and leave according to your means

I think railways operate under different economic / business model.Breaking even is not the end goal.

What is the obsession with Nairobi Expressway ?..the whole system is less than 28km with huge prize tag of about $550m for a highly indebted country .I bet the project would go the way of KQ,SGR,Nakkumat,Tuskys.....,

Where did I mention Nairobi express way?

This is the first time Africa champs is being held outside of South Africa. IDPA championship which is set to happen next month.

vankelvin:
Those tournaments are not major tournaments. It won't shake the economy of your country. Try hosting the major tournaments and you will know how it feels to host major tournaments..

If you think AFCON is a joke try watching Cameroon AFCON preparations and you will understand.

Do you know how much a standard Stadium costs? let alone the other facilities.

No one said AFCON is a joke,For your information More than 100 delegations have confirmed attendance to next world under 20 championship.The just conculded safari Rally injected dollars 600 million into the Kenyan economy plus it had over 350 million digital impressions thus can not be classified as a small event.

vankelvin:
If Kenya is used to hosting International tournaments then let them try hosting
Under 17 World cup tournament
Under 20 World cup tournament
Olympics
Commonwealth tournament and lets see.

All the so called International tournaments you claim to have hosted can easily be hosted in Togo.

We are hosting world under 20 Athletics championship this month .Then the following month we are going to host IDPA African championship.

vankelvin:
At least Nigeria have the balls and the capacity to host major Continental tournaments any day any time.

What major tournament have your country hosted before? Since you were born have you seen your country hosting AAG, AFCON, AWCOM or any massive continental tournament before? All you host are minor games that do not demand any massive infrastructures so keep quite.

Ordinary CHAN tournament your country couldn't host. A tournament which even regions like
Greater Accra
Ashanti Region
Central Region
Western Region in Ghana can easily host without any issues.

You sit on nairaland 24/7 repeating arguments as if your life depends on topic recycling.

Kenya is used to hosting international events
Kenya open Golf tour which is part of
European golf Tournament, World under 19 athletics championship, world under 20 championship,World safari Rally etc
Lastly I don't sit here 24/7 as you claim i come here during weekends to pass time.

Some years back African athletes got stranded at lagos airport .

Nairobi airport can not even come close to Abuja airport

JKIA is not just an airport it's an aviation hub. Kenya airways pride lounge and Turkish airlines lounge at JKIA

Vlain:
They have no idea of this basic things cos their zoo is to broke to even envision in the first place.wonder no more why their first attempt at it is appalling and disgraceful (a slap on Africans face)- talk of that 2 century old Spanish garbage moving metal.

Nairobi has always had commuter rail for decades we are not envisioning as you claim.

Nairobi's best views are from Nairobi's National park.

Nairobi's cityscape is fast-changing.

Nairobi commuter rail has a daily ridership of 13000 passangers a track length of 160km

Vlain:
That’s first phase.second phase runs within the city.heck even the first phase still cut through the city.

So it runs through the city to transport an average of 400 passangers a day?

Lurker4Long:
Hornet RDRV. Modular design that allows Personnel carrier, MRLS carrier, Mortar carrier, ATGM carrier and C2 carrier. Loads of pics on the thread.

Edit: can also attach ladders for assaulting buildings for hostage rescue etc. Main gun ranges from 50cal to 20mm cannon.
Oh, can also be dropped by parachute.

I just have one problem with this design..the ground clearance.

Abohboy:
Idu is the interstate travel hub, so from the airport you can go straight to kaduna and soon Lagos and Kano as well so not through any of the population corridors which is the reason for low patronage but the next phases have already begun construction and will be completed in earnest

At least you tried to explain.

rvp20182:
Not only that. It the most ridicolous wastage of money. It cost nearly 1 billion dollars. It carries 400 passenger per day. The guys going to get into plane . It beyond the pale. Nigeria is just full of cattle....led by a school dropout without even primary education.

Compare that to Ethiopia Adis - carries more than 200,000 passengers daily

Meanwhile Lagos that badly need such a rail system - has world worst commute - people sleep in their car for a week - those that commute have ot leave by 3pm/4pm - and arrive home past 10!!!!!! -

Apparently it runs From some place called IDU to the Airport ,Earlier on, I thought it was a commuter rail running all around Abujas neighborhood untill I googled.

68816419:
Abuja light rail is made of both the blue and that one

What is the obsession with abuja light rail?..the whole system is less than 45km with 3 operational stations.I bet the old Mombasa Mgr is longer than that.

rvp20182:
Ngozi served under Obasanjo as Min of finance in 2003-2006 and helped fix Nigeria gigantic mess - and earned world acclaim - Then Jonathan later re-appointed her to be Min of finance again.

But indeed as we speak all that Ngozi work is now wasted effort - Nigeria debt to servicing ratio is 100 percent - and country is essentially bankrupt.

You seem to be well versed on matters economics.

Oh that stupid thika town.pls don’t even go there. It’s just a rural cow grazing town with poverty and broken down home(muds and the likes) like ruaka town rongai. A backwater for lack of a better words. I don’t want to sore our site on here if not I would have uprooted YouTube videos to show u what I mean

Why don't you go ahead and uproot the videos.?...haha

U are a joke -if Mombasa airport which is ur second best can look like a local food canteen then I can only imagine the rest to look like huts. I can show ur Atleast 4 other international airports outside of Lagos and Abuja that puts JKIA to dust. I can also show u numerous domestic airport that makes anything in Mombasa and kenya(outside jkia) to looks like a butt of joke. Are u ready?

Airports are more than the building structure just check the reviews for Lagos Murtala Mohammed Airport on flight radar and compare them with Mombasa airport reviews.

Obakillah:


Nigerian population = 200 million
Kenyan population = 49 million

Even without factoring in Population..their biggest airport at Lagos has an average of 632 flights in a week for their top 10 routes Inside Nigeria . while Wilson (which is Not kenyas main Airport) has 729 flights a week for top 10 routes.

theenchanter:
simple question: does this make sense to you.... Ur answer should've been

1.... Yes, it makes sense to me. OR
2.... no, it doesn't make sense to me.
Then u give the reason(s) why it make sense or not to u.

Nobody asked for the trash u posted.

I bet any sane person can understand what I mean.

I don't think he is bowing and if he was, his hand would not be pocketed.

why are Nigerians so obsessed with this photo.

obaaderemi:
Does this make sense to you?

For your information, KENYA'S busiest airport in terms of aircraft movement is not JKIA...Wilson Airport is one of the busiest airports in East and Central Africa. Domestic flights constitute 90% of the total flights from the Airport with international flights accounting for 10%.

africaair (AHS) Ltd,Airbus helicopters,Helint Aviation,Leonardo and now AVIC all have chosen Nairobi to serve as their regional headquaters.There facilities serves the maintenance needs of aircrafts operating in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.

rvp2018:
In China we trust. This is not doggy Nigerian contractor. These are the guys who built Two Rivers. See Two Rivers render and the results. This is one biggest Chinese company.

This building own by China National Aero-Technology International Engineering Corporation (AVIC).

The Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) is a Chinese state-owned aerospace and defense conglomerate headquartered in Beijing. It is ranked 151st in the Fortune Global 500 list as of 2019,[2] and has over 100 subsidiaries, 27 listed companies and 500,000 employees across the globe.[4][5]

Talking of the aviation industry. Off late there has been an increase of Aviation companies setting up maintenance and overhaul facilities in Kenya cementing Nairobi’s rising status as the region’s business and aviation hub.

Vlain:
Nonsense-I am pretty sure that south-western Nigeria has more domestic airport than kenya and southern Nigeria has more domestic airport than the whole of east Africa-
Btw do t shift goal post can u compare ur crappy Mombasa international airport to that of Abuja-just answer that so I will know if u like prolonging and arguing the obvious like the rest of ur brothers.

There are 2 large, 13 medium, and about 57 small airports in Kenya while Nigeria has about 31 airports currently
