I hope it will not be the refurbished ones sha.


As long as it is running let them just bring it we will learn how to fix it from the Train Manuals

and our welders and Technicians will use their innovation to build the spare parts

Or we can ask our resident Chinese to fix it and learn how they do it by watching them

If not for all the Calamitous leaders that befell Nigeria

by now Awolowos plan was that we would be building our own Planes,,Ships, Trains and sending Rockets into Space

That is how Tinubu put a state in his pocket, please tell us how your own leaders pocket your state.

I have just one question...
Is it an electric or locomotive train?

If it is the later, then forget aboouuurrrrit.

And if it is the former, you'll still forget about it too, as long as it will be used in Nigeria.

Imagine someone asking whether something is electric or locomotive and actually expecting an answer to that question. Does he know the meaning of the word locomotive? How can that question have an answer?

Lagos state govt has gone beyond thinking like a state.
They now think like a country.
Tinubu really set a working plan in place and it's working out.

I'm Nwafo igbo but when I see truth I say it.

Wow, I thought something like this can "NEVER HAPPEN IN SANE CLIMES". Scott Walker was an A hole Governor. See how State and Federal monies were wasted.
When I tell all the cry babies in Nigeria that other countries have their own problems, they will say I'm talking rubbish. The metro line in LA has been under constructions for way more than 20 years and the budget has grown from I think 1Billion to more than 30 Billion.

Sanwo Olu has 4 key things to deliver in my view;
1. Blue and Red metro rail Lines
2. Completion of Mile 2 - Badagry expressway
3. Commencement of 4th Mainland bridge project
4. Lekki coastal road and rail line

If he can deliver these, he would have achieved in my opinion. Of course other projects like the deep sea port, Lekki Airport, power generation and others should go on side by side but I will prioritise those 4 above if I were him.

Half a million a day ?
Without closing the roads for cars to still ply ?
That's crazy!
Way to go LasGidi!
The roads have needed decongestion for decades and I'm happy it's looking possible.
Kudos to Lagos State Government
Kudos to Lagos State Governor
Kudos to ASHIWAJU

Is only those who don’t have sense that will criticize Lagos, that state supposed to be a country of its own, the infrastructural development is far better than any state in Nigeria. Credits to past and present governors they’re doing well.

Bittersweet news though. Any good news for Lagos is always bittersweet for Lagosians because it will translate into more inward migration into the only State that is working and moving forward in Nigeria.

Rapidly growing population density overwhelms infrastructure in the end.

You see that politicians are no different either black or white. A Republican governor killed a train project initiated by a Democrat governor, which even cost the state a whooping $50 million with nothing to show for it. Same way Buhari used bad "belle" canceled the Lagos metro project in the 80s.

This might be a good time to ask why other States of Nigeria do not even have bus lanes while Lagos is constructing the first comprehensive intra-city metro rail system in West Africa.

You feel the population cos we don't have a well planned state.. if they can develop the railway, have enough to move goods out of wharf, have enough to run to different locations within the state.. have some linking the neighbouring states, you ll see that lagos ll become relaxed..

You're knowledgeable about the inmediate and pressing infrastructural development plan of Lagos. Kudos. Too many argue and insult blindly.

Which working plan? I was born and bred in Lagos. Also a native of the state.. The place now is like a open air asylum. No order with chaos all over. Even on Lagos Island where I grew up, cult boys mostly under the paycheck of some politicians shoot themselves under the daylight. The same place we used to roam the streets until dawn. If anyone say Lagos is working, it mean that person has no standard or has no idea of how a functioning society operate. And worst of all, an individual sit atop all the chaos, cornering a huge chunk of the state resources for himself and members of his family. When people talk about Tinubu putting plans in place, it doesn't go beyond ensuring APC remain in power for his own interest. Whether the incoming governor continue projects initiated by the previous governor is secondary. The criminal is just protecting his pockets.

Are you igbo and cursed ?
I asked because I know for a fact only those from your tribe do not wish Lagos well yet you clowns can't stop trooping into the same Lagos like your miserable wretched lives depend on it.

Even in the 60s, Laos Island always had gang activities.
