Maybe they're waiting for Oshogbo and Ogbomosho metros to showcase their abilities and cleanliness before venturing with an opinion.
You don't think so?

D question is what is d distance that people will want to take d train
No heavy users like brt buses
The distance is too small and train slow die
We lagosian no get time to waste sharp yellow bus or okada or even brt
Na JJC dey use train

Because they are still very new

I have always maintained it. If there's going to be any semblance of an advanced economy in Nigeria. Lagos is going to be the first state to achieve it.

The reason being that it strives to employ brilliant people to head its various agencies.

Why has 26 years of ebilokan a-looter master plan failed to yield the advance economy instead of the waterless glorified ghetto of barely educated agberos in the less than 5% public schools?

Any explanation

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

It has only been embraced by corporate workers and young people for now....if the usual danfo crowd of Nigerians start entering, you will see the massive difference in less than a month.

Is the train capable of reaching every part of lagos?

You can see the usual Government-paid bots floating propaganda, to justify their allowance.

Why are they not talking about the deplorable State and Federal Roads in Lagos?

Why are they not talking about the perennial flooding that keeps recurring year-in, year out?

Why are they not talking about every house having to dig a borehole because Government have failed to provide them with pipe borne water?


Why are they not talking about the high cost of accommodation, since Govt, if it does at all, builds less than 50Units of Housing (which they even distribute among the Elites), for over 25Million people of Lagos?

Why are they not talking about the Cost of Food items, with families in Lagos competing with families in Gaza, for who can produce the most malnourished Children?

Everything in this Government is 10%, the remaining 90% is Propaganda.
More Effort and Money is invested in apid, Online Propagandist, than is real performance.

I've been inside metro trains all over the world.

But Lagos city metro trains are a different class.

Extremely clean inside.

Back when they were still building this project, many predicted that the whole thing would be ruined by dirty Lagosians packing their market wares and all this funny stuff into the train.

Some said people would even carry their goats and hens that they're selling into the trains etc.

But the network has been up for some years now, and expanding with new lines, yet, with no sign of such deterioration.

In fact the opposite is the case.

In cleanliness, Lagos trains and train stations surpass what you'll see in London, New York and all these places.

I think we underestimate ourselves too much in this country.

Because no eating and drinking of anything within the stations

Because it's managed by China that's why wait when Agberos take over.

You guys should tone this Tribalism and bigotry down please. Let's live for a progressive nation . I appreciate all tribes for what they are irrespective of differences.
Please , would hate to pass these bigotry to our children who could be suffering its cause for nothing that concerns them

commoditiesnig:
Very true. LAMATA just like many LASG agencies are run like private enterprises hiring professionals from all sectors.

lamata is one of the agencies created during the Tinubu administration. The plan was designed during his administration and but construction started under fashola administration.

Its still new. London's is a very old system for example.

Do you want it to be dirty? See question o!

shadrach77:
They are maintained by the Chinese. Once they fall back into local hands...your guess is as good as mine

indeed….i never knew Lamata is now owned by Chinese. Children of hate and bitterness since you can’t have it in your potopoto region then you must downplay the achievement of progressive state like Lagos managed by the Yorubas because we are better administrators don’t go and deverop your tiny potopoto region.

Won tun ti de, if e clean, why? If e no clean, why? Which one una wan truly?. Make una talk. Everything is possible.

Still too early to judge cos Nigerians are too dirty not just Lagos

what an ignorant comment….you must think this is a locomotive train. A light rail train that moves on it own designated lane is what you comparing with buses? Wait till they complete the remaining route to okokomaiko and see the volume of people it will move each day.

Because it still a new invention, come back and check if it will still be new in two years

It is still running a short distance trip, Mile 2 to CMS no far.

By the time the trip start getting to Barracks, Iyana Iba and Okokomaiko, expect more traffic from traders. Except there's restriction, people will buy goat at Alaba Rago and carry am entering train. LASG should begin to plan for a guard-van for the blue line.

Because they dont pass through Ajegunle and Okokomaiko. Lol

You need bucket?
So because it started over 100years ago is an excuse?
If the post was otherwise you would have been gnashing your teeth all over Nairaland.
Must you guys be bitter & negative always?
You cant go far in life with this behaviour.

Iko5000:
We are comparing metro systems that have been around for 100 years with one not more than 5 years .

Let's stop these stupid comparisons and concentrate on what we need to make Nigeria great . Like building on the success of the metro to build more in Nigeria .

Tax payers money. Thanks to a the tribes living and developing lagos to make it what it is.

I wonder why some of those people were rushing into the train.

Not like the seats weren't enough.

In your mind now you're trying to promote and praise your pay masters.
You forgot to tell us the train in Lagos are some countries early 80s 90s model.
I have watched Burning Train an Indian movie that was shot in 1980 and Ghost shot in 1990.
Can you compare the trains used in those movies to the ones Lagos is using now.
I ply the Mile 2 - CMS axis almost everyday with the trains. Fine they clean and neat, but they're still nothing to be compare with those I have seen use in Europe, Asia and America some years back, not to talk of their current ones. I'm not saying the managers of the Lagos train are not trying, but they can do better with those old model trains they imported from China

Give it time

Give it time. Look at the BRT today

Come back in 2 or 3 years

Is there a train from lagos to kaduna?

That's the only Nigerian city cited in that report. It means it is quite significant to the international community, that should tell you something. Yes, there are areas where improvements are needed.

But ask yourself, where are the other Nigerian states and their governors , they can't be found on the international map...
If other states and governors were pushing their weights, Lagos won't have this population issue with its attendant challenges.

shadrach77:

it's clean, give credit to the Chinese, it's dirty blame Lagos State govt, una well done.

Metro or Tram?

lamentor78:
Some 🐐 will not like this news, because no governor has achieved this feat their region but they wanted to claim the ownership of Lagos.

Keep selling your ancestral lands to them and come back to cry that they're taking over your lands
