I HAVE BEEN SEEING TINUBU BRANDED AGBADO(corn) all over Lagos slums

And in the dilapidated schools with inadequate teachers that should be having all Lagos children but don’t, even though ThiefNuibu has been collecting humongous amounts of IGR from the people’s pockets.
Maybe he will distribute the phones to the light rail passengers who have been enjoying the light rail since June 2013 that his loyal boy boy Fashola promised?

TTC in talks to sell old trains to Lagos. Are they safe enough?
AUGUST 10, 2011

As Toronto trainspotters gleefully take maiden rides on the TTC's Rocket, commuters in Lagos, Nigeria may be about to get some new trains of their own. Our old ones.

A TTC spokesperson has confirmed that the commission is negotiating with a private group to sell up to 260 used train cars to the West African megacity's new transit project.

"I can confirm that the TTC is in discussion with a third party that wants to purchase trains for Lagos," said commission spokesperson Brad Ross. "Over a period of time, they will be taken out of service and then transported over to Nigeria."

The cars being considered for sale are the TTC's old H-5 and H-6 models, which will be decommissioned as the TTC rolls out its new fleet of Rockets. Ross predicts the earliest they could be shipped to Nigeria is sometime in 2012.

Traffic snarls are already a major economic problem in the Nigerian capital, a booming city that will reach an estimated population of 25 million by 2015. A new above-ground rail system designed to carry 1.5 million people a day has already broken ground, and Lagos Governor Babtunde Fashola has said it "will be the most multi-dimensional and most impactful" of the government's efforts to reduce traffic congestion.

Fashola visited Toronto earlier this year to inspect the TTC trains.

The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts.

According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption.

"More often than not, politicians favour rail transit because it is more expensive," Haider said. "It's almost useless in some cases, and less productive in most cases, than a bus system. But you can't buy busses for $30 billion. You can inflate prices and make a lot of money buying a rail system."

Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola[/size]

January 9, 2013

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the lrail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.

Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.

“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.

“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.

“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

appreciate what?...would you go to the market with the intention of buying this kind of phone?

GoooodHardDick:
I'm sure you didn't understand what I wrote.

Even Nokia torch light better pass that rubbish wey u dey jubilate. Didn't you see the branded phone designs Obi supporters did? And yet you dey happy with these rubbish your ancestor dashed you? Like the same way he'll still take away your destiny come 2023! You better receive Sense now and join the Obidient family ! Join it and join it fast. Obi for president 2023 inshallah

I for like join una o but na two things....
1) Obi no near my candidate in any ramifications.
2) You go insult me finish come tell me to be your friend? What sense does it make my guy?

Do not believe all you see online. You may be surprised to find that the people behind this are either pro Atiku or pro-Obients trying to make people feel that Apc is cheap. I may be right or wrong but As for me, I want a visionary leader with robust exposure in-depth experience and fisher of great men! to take us out of this mess!!

Will the phone bring development and security to us? Rubbish

FreeStuffsNG:
If only you know how useful this phone is ehn. It's safer from hacks and the battery which is easy and quick to charge lasts long.

Some will even use this phone for call business and for mobile money services. It is a brilliant initiative and regardless of politics, I believe that this kind of campaign material should be applauded but politics of hate and bigotry against Asiwaju Tinubu (and President Buhari) won't make you applaud it because he is not Igbo or Christian like you so nothing good they do will ever let you appreciate the joy such a gift will give those beneficiaries who are not as privileged as you.

Hatred and bigotry against people who are not from your tribe or religion is not a political strategy, it never worked for you when all the ones you supported in the past lost and failed and it is not going to work now.

In my opinion, this is better than 'ponmo cutting stomach infrastructure' by HE Fayose and sharing of cutlasses by HE Ortom that folks can just use at a time for limited jobs but phone use cuts across all spheres and anytime.

God bless Asiwaju Tinubu and may God bless Nigeria for ever!

I would like to remind some of you that the in 2023, the House of representatives and Senate will still be dominated by APC and PDP politicians. Even if Obi wins the elections, how do you think that plays out? Remember that Obi was in PDP 2 minutes ago.

What do I know? Maybe I should just shut up

If he wins, they will all decamp to Labour Party.
Do you think nobody wants to associate with success?

dominique:
