Yeah SGR became so politicized. The projections did not imagine we have cargo at 35m this soon - projecting next year to hit 40m. There is huge hinterland from South Sudan, CAR, DRC Congo, Southern Ethiopia, Uganda, and Rwanda all the way down to Zambia. So 20yrs from now - Mombasa port and Lamu port should handling a lot more. Our brothers down in Tanzania may wake up and take some of the load for Zambia-Burundi-Rwanda.

These statements about your SGR and the competition was from one of your top financial journalist, he wrote in The Standard: “the way a second-born child would do, lurking in the shadows and learning from the mistakes of his elder brother, then retreating to plot how to do a better job when his turn came.”. It now clear that your SGR may never break even, Tanzania, Ethiopian and the Ugandans won't allow the system to function at the loss of their own systems, your sgr would have make sense if these guys are not doing same.
Uhuru is just using these projects(SGR and Nairobi express way) to score some political points and nothing more, we all know that the over hyped Nairobi Express way is not Sustainable .

Mkenya2019:
SGR has been debated to death. It doing very well in almost all parameters.

Mombasa port - saw 10 increase in first Q=The Port of Mombasa handled 9.54 million tons in the first quarter of the year 2021 compared to 8.62 million tons in a similar period last year recording 10.7 percent growth rate

Btw Nairobi Expressway is being built by China as toll road - kenya gov spents 150m to compensations and relocating utilities - otherwise Chinese gifted it to us - well they will collect toll for 30yrs.

Abohboy:
Does it not run over an existing road all the way through as it shows in your videos?

68816419:
Firstly, your SGR is not going well, reason been that, the cost of running the services is far higher than the profits generated from it and this trend is worsening, also, the frieght system is way to expensive for most cargo handlers and they now prefer using the road system as the road is far cheaper, secondly, I personally think that overpriced express is a misplaced priority, the funds ("gift" should have been used to build the inner roads in "Nairobi metropolitan".

Bottomline:Never you say punctuation diarrhea . You are disgracing your life.

Shma2020:
No. But in some sections, it's quite inevitable considering the vastness of the highway.
Pic one and two is the state of 80% of Nairobi expressway, the road passes in between the two existing highways.
Pic 3 and four is a flyover.

Abohboy:
This is counted as a flyover in Nigeria and is structued the same way as yours is an elevated road above another road i'm guessing the difference is whether or not it's part of an overall highway system like N3 in South Africa or M25 in England or is it how many lanes it has?

Mkenya2019:
Flyover versus elevated expressway. Kenya has 2km fly over . You cannot find in South Africa an elevated expressway. Try Asia. Tokyo, Manila, Jakarta and China of course.

Abohboy:
Still haven't explained what puts them apart, i've just shown you a flyover structured the same as yours is it about lanes used or being connected to a highway system?

Mkenya2019:
It's an elevated expressway. These are not in Africa - they are mostly in Asia

Mkenya2019:
Your undeveloped brain can only comprehend pictures.
1) Nairobi Outering - 2Km flyover

2) Nairobi Expressway - elevated expressway

3) Nairobi Viaduct - under construction.

NIGGA, WHAT!?

Forget that Global Firepower list compiled by unsupervised kids. List the following in both forces for a proper comparison
-pay
- working platforms, ie choppers, armour, aircraft
- battlefield success

Its not even close.

Abohboy:
This doesn't answer anything is it amount of lanes or connection to highway systems stop waffling

theenchanter:
elevated expressway is here in lagos, keep shut!

PetroDolla2020:
Tweaaaaaaa kenya is thinking of hosting olympics? You need to see your doctor. I think you are having a severe fever

Mkenya2019:
Once they invent a braille for videos; I would be able to assist.

Abohboy:
I cba I asked you a simple question and gave you two options you couldn't even choose one and went ahead to begin insulting me for what? This forum site is so backwards this is why I use twitter more

Shma2020:
Yes, Now this is a flyover.

In Kenya we also have numerous of those which runs above the other section.

Mkenya2019:
You're talking about the bridge right in Lagos. Yeah it's elevated over fish or water . Maybe one day we will figure out how to build a road to float on water. Well Mombasa has the floating bridge

theenchanter:
elevated expressways are elevated road from d beginning to the end, except their adjoining ends.

Will ur new expressway be elevated all through?

Shma2020:
80% of it will be elevated and that answers your question.

Mkenya2019:
You insult our intelligence; we give you enough pointers; to get your googling. Only Nigeria take pride in their ignorance. Just coz you dont yet have an elevated expressway - doesn't mean it doesn't exist or is a flyover.

Mkenya2019:
Okay, let us say partially elevated for an 11km with total lenght of 28 expressway happy now. Bad news for you - there is nothing like that in Africa. Lagos main bridge is a bridge over water. There is no road below it.

Abohboy:
I've never even lived in Nigeria though talk less of use their educational system if you want to throw shade do it on the South African and British systems where I've actually studied

theenchanter:
what is the total length of the expressway and how many km of it will be elevated?

Abohboy:
But when it gets to Marina it continues as an elevated expressway as you guys like to say above a smaller road and then it goes onto Victoria Island

Mkenya2019:
South Africa and Nigeria education are about the same - Nigeria is a bit worse. South Africa is Ghana level. Unless you went to international school or white school. But South Africa public black school...no difference with rest of Africa. They take teachers from rest of Africa.

The developed world can take Africa nurses NEVER a teacher.

Average teacher in Europe has a master - be they in grade o or grade 12.

South Africa will not become a developed world precisely for that reason - EDUCATION is sub-sahara standards - you cannot move to next level with that kind of brains. Middle class yes.
