I posted these links on the rail thread. I think they'll be useful here.

The Trans-African Highway project was conceived as a means of bringing Africans closer. Lagos-Badagry Expressway was supposed to be part of Ecowas' contribution to the project. The project was later abandoned.

The Obasanjo Administration planned the Lagos-Ogun Mega City Project. One of the things the project is meant to do I to create a railway line from Lagos to Ogun (the Lagos-Ogun Mega City Project office is on Okotie-Eboh road in Ikoyi. Close to Dodan Barracks). Not much has been heard of the project since Obasanjo, Tinubu and Daniel left office.

Governor Fashola states that the Lagos Mega City is a status conferred on Lagos by it's population size. It is not a project. The challenge is for government to react appropriately to the increase in population and make it a modern city(note: it used to be called Lagos-Ogun Mega City, but I've not heard Fashola call it that).

The Lagos-Badagry Road project is one of the ways the government reacts. It would expand the road to 10 lanes, including BRT lane and a rail service. The Lagos State Government got a loan from the World Bank to execute the project (they were initially considering various funding models, including ppp, tolling, etc). The road is designed to open up the western axis, just as the lekki road project is opening the eastern axis. Fashola stated that many people do not want to live and work in that axis because of the traffic jam, even though people complain of shortage of land and houses in lagos.

The Federal Minister of works, Hassan Lawal threatened to stop the project (this was while Yar'Adua was in hospital. Despite the fact that Yar'Adua's administration guaranteed the World Bank loan).

After acting president Goodluck Jonathan reshuffled the cabinet, the new minister of works, Sanusi Daggash stated the the problem had been solved and Lagos State could continue with the project.

About 2 weeks ago, the minister of trade and investment declared that the Federal Government were pleased with the project and will hand over more rail lines/right of way to the Lagos State Government.

jason123: God BLESS YOU! If not for your links, nairalanders like onyewec3 would have deceived the populace!

You are a fool. a product of a failed educational system.how dare u rebuke me witout reading this post above carefully.didnt u read in-between that the federal govt,ECOWAS and WORLD BANK have a connection with the road and rail in question? some pple say fashola and his hypocritical ACN GOVT don't boast. so you guys have forgotten so soon when fashola almost took all the time on TV station to advertise and show all the road projects he embarked on during his first regime?how often are we hearing the slogan ''EKO O NI BAJE''? i can see some pple have short memory BUT I DONT.i am not in anyway castigating the guy but all am saying is that we shuld try as m7uch as possible to look at issues critically without bias or mixing facts.
NLANDERS shuld always endeavours to read one's post before commenting and also make necessary research to butress there claims.

this is a world bank assisted project......if its state govt fund,
1 ..fashola would have been blowing hot.
2.does lagos have the necessary fund to execute this project(can lagos allocation build dis project)?
3.most state govt road are not contracted to big coys julius berger,CCECC ETC....if dere is any state road build by berger pls name one of dem?
4.fashola have neva been to this site(meaning he has no total control of the project.
5.lagos-badagry expressway is a federal road

lookmangiw: lol, are you a clown? When we are talking about key ministerial position, you talk finance, works, transport, petroleum,

U are an insane bigot.every position is key becos u can be in education and solid mineral and perform better dan smeone in finance ministry.
Its idiots like u will say medicine is better than mechanical engr as if a doctor can do d work of an engineer.well,u are a product of a failed educational system

lookmangiw: ode, tell me any key position that is being held by a northerner now.

CBN govnor(sanusi lamido sanusi),education(prof rufai ruquayyat),solid minerals,information minister,etc or are dis postion nt vital?

I thought yar'adua whined and dined wit the SHEIK ibori.a thief,a rogue who sponsored his campaigned wit delta state fund.yar'adua apointed michael andoakaa who says yar'adua can rule anywhere in d world even frm hell fire.
Yar'adua agreed dat d election dat brought him to power was fraud yet he didn't resign.he continued to sit on a place smeone stole for him(d best president indeed).
Yar'adua refused to transmit to d NASS dat he's incapacitated and dat he's nt fit to rule again.
Yar'dua almost plunged Nigeria into military take-over wen dere was power vacuum(thanks to dora akunyili who reminded us that as info minister she have no info on d whereabout of him and dat yar'adua was incapacitated).
Yar'adua was smuggled into Nigeria like a contraband tire and who dare knows wen he actually died?so since I dnt knw wen he actually died,I dnt give a Bleep any longer.
TUrai, his wife and accomplice held Nigeria to ransom(God will not forgive you and ya'adua)

maasoap: You must be from South South or South East. And I don't blame you guys from those two regions, you haven't ruled this country before. So, you must be so protective of Retarden to the extent that even if Nigeria sinks, nothing should happen to your dear Retarden. But let me tell you this, there can't be Mr president from the creek to be protected if Nigeria as a nation should be engulfed in fire. You people should should lower this level of protective instinct, at least you're not Retarden's mother.

Wich region are u from lost race?I guess u re frm Tiv?since ur father av been ruling for ages,in wat way have dat transformed ur lifeless brain?tell us where u re from and we will tell u d history of ur fore fathers

maasoap: Man, you're sick. You're totally sick based on this particular post of yours. Assume that those eight people that were killed at atlas cove city were your nuclear family including you, would you be here today to be typing this rubbish. Jonathan doesn't need you to defend him, please stop these senseless comments.

You r indeed a kangaroo.u just jumped into my coment witout reading previous coment to knw d reason I made d point regardin d pple dat died in atlas cove.
To further show ur stupidity,did anybody knw d tribe/religion of d pple affected?ur foolishness did not make u think y boko haram is nt attacking govt building! All dey do is to target principal tribe or religion.
I knw u attended a failed educational system bt dat shuldnt becloud ur sense of judgemnt.follow my previous thread and u will knw y I made such comment pig seller

Demdem: Justice my foot. Tell that to the wives and children of those that died at atlas cove lagos when mend bombed their arse. Were these ones granted justice before amnesty to these killers. What about other collateral damages either military or civillians during mend exploits? Mend killed in tens while boko is killing in hundreds. Both are killers and should be swept away the way mend was. What is good for criminous mend is also good for evil boko.
Either u are a militant or terrorist, u Av somethings in common which includes being a criminal and killer.

During the bombing of atlas cove,I could remember vividly not more dan 8pple died in d incident and as such dat could be referred to as collateral damage.atlas cove is a fed govt jetty where dere stoarge tank recieves cargo frm vessels.why didn't boko haram destroy govt propertys.boko haram select pple for their target.despite majority of hausa illiterates filling the most position in NNPC etc,militants neva choose dem as potential attackers.have u heard abt the KKK in d US? Don't just cme to dis type of forum and make epileptic comparism

Abagworo: I want open negotiations so that Boko Haram will expose their real sponsors to the shock of Nigerians. Henry Okah has exposed some and yet ethnic jingoists are keeping a blind eye. I can't wait for the day the sponsors of the killing of youth corpers will be exposed. All those arrested for the killing of the corpers where are they? Why can't there be open trial for them?

Jst d way u negotiate wit ur lecturer to pass ur exam while its obvious u failed it doesn't mean fed govt shuld negotiate wit terorists.@least obama neva negotiate wit osama bin laden

Demdem: Very wise of u to ignore the sponsors list with retardeen that i raised. Ur type is known.
Whatever the retardeen may be doing now to defeat evil BH is simply nor working and if this condition will lead to peace, so be it. By precedence, the nigerian govt has and still negotiating with mend terrorists so why should boko be different? If he isn't courageously to tackle sponsors he knows then hw should simply go to ait.

So hw wuld justice reign as per d pple dey have unlawfully killed.wuld u jail someone u have already had negotiation with?Mend is not a terrorist bt a militants.dere are militants in UK,US etc bt u can't compare dem wit boko haram!Boko haram is simply terrorist.MEND destroys oil installations,kidnap oil workers, etc.boko kills innocentees,bomb churches,rob banks, etc....atleast u r aware of wat MEND are agitating for bt do u knw wat boko haram stand for?.....try and make ur research well ok.dnt allow our failed educational system to affect ur judgement ok

kokoA: You have forgotten that it was GEJ's government that came up with the idea of negotiating in the first place? And for you to compare GEJ with these leaders you mentioned above got me cracking up big time. Thesame GEJ that went to germany anouncing to the whole world that he is a commander in chief of a 'substandard' army? Lwkmd.. Back to the topic, I think the president's security advisers should handle this with serious care. They should be able to tell the president what to do.

Even if d govt agreed to negotiate,I believe it wuldnt be negotiation in d real sense.it might b a situation where d govt wuld want to knw d representatives of the BH and probably start trailing dem till dey get reliable info on hw to unmask there kingpin.dere is no difference bt leaders all over d world.d only thing dat made obama or any oda govt succeed is becos dey av working sysytem which dey av built overtime and dis is lacking in nigeria.if I may ask,does d govt av a proper documentation of the pple in Nigeria lyk in d europe and america?e need to av a good system for a leader to wrk well.a system filled wit ethnicity,religious bigotry,nepotism,favouritsm,corruption will not survive and no leader can opearte unda such circumstance.u and I knws dt d Nigerian security are ill-trained.in d US,security advisers givs dere president security tips on hw to tackle any issues borderin on security.dey r able to succeed because dey av a working system.

Demdem: Since the retardeen is so afraid to tackle the sponsors of this evil group, the list of which is with him, I will advise him to show up at ait as requested. He is a coward and that is what cowards will normally do so no shaking.

So GEJ is by far beta dan u.pls just cool down and read ur post,u will be ashmed u posted this on a forum of sound minds.if dis is ur advice,den I think u will be very useful as area boys spokesman in lagos.

Mynd_44: Whether or not he appears is inconsequential. The fact is obvious that he has been slow in his response to this madness and he is about to see the roof fall on him because should Boko Haram strike Lagos, he will see his government collapse on him.
But personally, I believe him showing up to talk with them is a show of cowardice.

Ok Mr security expert,profer solution? We are waiting.

strangerf: First, it is American, not ameracan

Second, are you comparing the White House with Asorock? White House can afford not to negotiate with terrorists, GEJ does not have that luxury. Truth is that his own life is not that secure . . .

Whether american or ameracan(typo error) @ least u got the msg wich is very importnt tool in communictn.

So d fact dat GEJ's life is nt secure means he shuld negotiate wit terorists right.and who told u dat white house was safe den.do u thing the 2nd plane dat is meant to crash pentagon missed target because of american millitary?NO. Dey missed target because d citizen took d responsibility upn demsef to die rather dan watch pentagon get hit.so even George bush and obama are not safe too.don't forget sme months back,a man was arrested in an attempt to kill obama so no body is safe and dat doesn't mean u shuld negotiate wit terrorist.and after negottiation,will the ones killed get the justice dey deserve?

Demdem: Since the retardeen is so afraid to tackle the sponsors of this evil group, the list of which is with him, I will advise him to show up at ait as requested. He is a coward and that is what cowards will normally do so no shaking.

So so ashamed to read dis.if dis is what u will do if u happen to b a president(of which u can't even be),den GEJ is by far better dan u in approach.why didn't d sweedish govt negotiate wit d guy dat. Committed suicide bombing because he was angered the presence of muslims in sweden,why didn't obama negotiate wit abdulmutallab and his guys in guatanamo bay,why didn't george bush negotiate wit bin laden? So if GEJ negotiate wit BH,hw will justice be meted on those dat lost dere lives?pls am waiting for ur answer

egift: With Boko Haram threatening to bomb Lagos and Abuja unless President Jonathan appear on AIT for open discussion with the sect, what do you think should the be the right response strategy from the Presidency to avert lose of lives.

Should he appear, continue the current hunts or seat it out as usual? Have your say.

A reasonable govt don't negotiate with terorist.why didn't ameracan govt call bin laden for negotiation?

Ozonna: I wonder how some of my people think? Do you biafran sympathisers (I'm among) know that should the Bokos strike Lagos, majority of the casualties will be IGBO's? Infact 50% will be of Igbos.

What if they target Alaba, Ladipo, Balogun markets? How many Yorubas are into trade? Infact the Yorubas may not retaliate if after everything only a few Yorubas are killed and majority of the casualties are Igbos.

Instead of singing Biafran anthem, we should first think and know that an attack on Lagos will set Nigerian economy back because it's our commercial capital . Even if not for anything, an attack on Lagos will kill Igbos more than any other tribe.

What we should be saying or rather asking is WHAT IS PRES GEJ DOING ABOUT THE BOKOS ?

If Bokos want open talk in Abuja, it means other tribes who feel aggreived are also invited and then we'll have the SNC we've been praying for. I suggest we ask our Ohaneze ndigbo to add their own voice and demand for the SNC too. Ohaneze are being too silent for my liking.
However, everything should be done to avoid this attack

My guy,we are tired of asking GEJ ok.any attack on d igbos,am very sure(100%) dat dere wuld b a reprisal attack wich wuld take a bad dimension.its an eye for an eye in lasgidi

Odunnu: Come to think of it, I think something real bad is about to happen. I travelled to Lokoja from Enugu on wednesday and noticed several lorry loads of hausa men/women/children leaving the east at Obollo afor. I mentioned it to my colleague that when they leave in droves like this, that its possible they are under threat.
Hmmmm. I just hope and pray His Excellency clamps down on these vampires soon

The hausas are usually afraid of igbo reprisal attack dats y.av nt heard of hausa leaving d SW in droves.is it because dey are daring the yorubas

The threat of BH shuld nt b treated wit levity.but one thing I knw for sure is dat lagos is always d flash point.if boko haram shuld Strike,den I think dat lagosians wuld react and dat wil involve massive killings of hausa muslims especially d okada riders because dey av taken ova d job frm calaba pple.and one problem d hausas av in lagos is dat dey are not geographically distributed rather dey usually concentrate in one place.like alaba rago,agege,apapa,agbo malu,alaba int'l(though igbos are more dere dan hausa).if lagos is attacked,its nt only yorubas dat will hunt d hausas,igbos too wil join suit even our Niger delta pple.
I hope dey dnt try dere rubbish in lagos.dey shuld limit dere anger in d north.

And if dere attack wuld b carried out,I suspect VI,apapa wharf,and churches in CMS etc

shittuyusuf: Orebukola u fall my hand,hw can u split ds kind of wordz? Hw cn smbdy in prison assassinate pa
Akintola, ĩ think itz unfair 2 pa Awos memory nd his contribution 2 d development of YORU'§ raise nd Nig in general ,4rm my own knwledge wat ĩ cn recall 4 nig history, ĩ thk it'z ONYEWEC brotha AGU IROSI who stage coup de ta,den afta assassinate all political leadaz, cn smbdy tell watin concern Awo wit all ds shit. So am beggin una don't compare Him wit all dos agberos 'tout' like babagida,obasanjo,tinubu, jonathan,abacha,saraki'§ etc u pple calld una leadas bcoz his work still de echo till 2day in yoru'z land. Even nobdy in nig eida present or past can not stand his profile. @onyewec , u too fall my hand ♈ doin wat u re accosin smbdy doin coz orebukola quote dos not ve root in nig history S let υя mind judge u. Will not say more dan dt

Got ur msg bt I only lyked his coment based on the subject matter.whether awo killed or stage managed d killing of akintola is left to b debated.afterall,we only knew recently dat Pa abraham adesanya and bola ige collected bribe to stall june 12.so wats my own.

Alusi Okija: I would have called you the 'O' word, but all the Yoruba mods on nairaland have got an e'rection for me!! So I will let you slide today!!

Wait till Okija Juju gets out!!

Don't mind dis confused foolish scumbag.ur way just remind me u will not be less dan T-bag in prison break.foolish gobler

Demdem: Am suspecting PDP. Its the only killer party i know of for now.

Mr man,e be lyk say u be primary schul drop out.d person dat was killed was a private secretary and have no influence on PDP.don't u think some pple within oshiomole's camp might be interested in d same position and d only way dey can get dere is to eliminate d guy?didn't ur empty brain think in dis direction.even in most big establishment,sme subordinates do charms to get rid of there superior so dey can get d plum position! Dis is Nigeria where d impossible happens.so dnt point accusing fingers on PDP because d rest will point directly to u(oshiomole's camp)
A word is enof for d wise

Orebukola: am sori 4 teling pple dis but a fact we must all acept d so called ACN are d beta player at killing, i respect d passion,knowledge of baba Awolowo 4 d yoruba, but u all know he mastaminded d killin of Akintola,many pple now acused of killing in PDP are 4rm d then AD d like of omisore,pls learn 2 speak d truth pls

Very well thought of.dis is the kind of people I like.keep the gud job bro.u jst made my day

In d case of yabaTech 1991,during d SUG election all eyes was on 2 contenders chinoye aguba and seye oladimeji.though popularity polls suggests chinoye aguba wuld win.2days to d election,seye oladimeji was attacked and wounded with machette cut and was taken to d hospital.most finger pointed @ chinoye and dat cost him his election as majority voted seye oladimeji.months later dere was a big problem in Seye's camp and a revelation came up dat one of his guys actually stage-managed the incident.abegunde abel was rusticated frm the schul for stage-managing d arm-bush to paint chinoye aguba black to giv seye a sympathy to win d election.I don't trust oshiomole's camp

Alusi Okija: Its either Jonathan or PDP or both that killed her!!

May she rest in peace!!

just look at ur post......sound rather myopic and does not reflect you attended a primary school at all. is the person in question a lady?meaning you did not take time to read and digest the topic before u spew rubbish out of your blank head through ur foul mouth.how can you justify dat the pple or group u named above did the killing? dats why i will continue to say GEJ IS BY FAR BETTER THAN SO MANY PPLE/CRITICS on this platform

kokoA: Has any good ever come out of the countless investigations of opposition politicians in Nigeria? Bola ige, funsho williams, dipo shina, etc? We all know pdp is a den of killers.

i just dont know hw pple lyk u will just open ur mouth to spit foul and unconfirmed and unverified reports.......how do you mean PDP is a den of killers? so funsho williams(who is a PDP) WAS ALSO MURDERED BY PDP? is thgat how u draw your senseless conclusion.did u even go to school at all? dont you know as a politician in Nigeria, u are susceptible to attack because there might be cases where they refused to pay homage(either to hoodlums which they hired for election or whatever who den comes and hunt them again). Y ou dont just open ur stinking mouth without making proper research as to possible reason why we had sis series of killings...did u think Oshiomole is ''clean''?or is he a saint?

Isaactop9: try yoruba gals if you want to die young...

Ok...dem dey put one charm called "magun"(don't climb) for there woman body.if u climb,u go get epilepsy .ahahahahahaha Bleep and die

kcswat: Please where is Gowon!!!

I guess he's somewhere feeling happy at what is happening to his pple.most foolish Nigerian military president
