Sanwo Olu has achievements in the rail sector. In fact, Sanwo alone has more achievements in the rail sector than all Anambra Governors both dead and alive put together.

After 8 wasted years as Anambra Governor, tell us a single achievement of Peter Obi in the Electricity sector. Just one.

He built a power plant for the brewery. undecided

The other time, opened a thread to beg for ideas for 30k. You mean, you, your entire family, your ancestors and generations joined together can't use your heads to think of what 30k can do?
You are here calling those better that your entire lineage a mumu.

Exactly!
And got their generations drunk.

Do you know that under Peter Obi's administration, schools went on strike, hospitals were closed for 13 months but his brewery wasn't closed for a single day.

That is the nonentity they are comparing to Sanwo-Olu.

When Lagos built the BRT bus stop at Ikeja (where Jara Mall is) they were coming from their places to that bus stop to come and snap pictures.

There is a particular state in their region where their Governors Official Residence is in a rented building. Those from that place where their Governor is a tenant will open mouth and be talking trash about Lagos projects.

Nice one Mr Governor... God bless you for all your efforts to make Lagos great

Did you say this also in 2011 when Fashola visited Toronto for the same railway?

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

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."

Lagosians are in a higher level of consciousness, Nigeria is pushing Lagos backward.

Lagos, Ogun then Oyo are trying to follow through an awoken consciousness

Higher level of consciousness to tolerate looting that deprives them of ordinary pipe borne water in every building, because the government failed to employ technicians, clerks, engineers etc

October 20, 2014

LAGOS State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, yesterday, gave a breakdown of how his administration expended the N160 billion World Bank loan it acquired, saying the state maintained a healthy debt profile.

Fashoa, who spoke during his commemoration of 2,700 days in office and achievements in the last 100 days, in Alausa, Ikeja, said long overdue refund would go a long way in reducing the debt profile of the State, which he said the Federal Government recently published to mislead the public.

He said, “Recently, our political adversaries issued statements that we have borrowed N160 billion. What they have not told you is what we are doing with the money.”

Enumerating his government’s activities within the period under consideration he said; “In the last 100 days, we have commenced work on providing street lighting on the Muritala Muhammed Way in Yaba.

This is 10 kilometres of public lighting which will be completed by the end of this month. On Eko Bridge, Carter Bridge, Ikorodu Road, Lekki-Epe Expressway and every street and highway where there is street lighting in Lagos, it is the Lagos State Government that supplied the poles, the bulbs, the diesel and the maintenance.

“The only major highway we are not managing for street lights is the 3rd Mainland Bridge.

Fire engines, to secure lives, rail transport from Okokomaiko to Marina, with four stations of eight kilometres completed, and work heading to Marina, with piles appearing near the Eko Bridge every day are the places your Government is spending money. The expansion of the Lagos Badagry Expressway to a 10-lane highway is another place where your Government is spending money.

You actually can't blame him. Someone who comes from a place where stones are all they have can't value gold. Stones are they best he's seen all his life, so be has no idea of the value of gold.

In Enugu, they've not had pipe borne water for 40 years. So, you can understand his obsession with pipe borne water.
