I fell in love with your response.

Those wannabe’s always thinking they are the only ones who have travelled abroad . Even New York metro is not as clean and pleasant as that. They just always quick to condemn their OWN country.

I will take your response serious after one year if the place will remain the same. For now, Enjoy your useless Nigeria

Your almighty “Outside Nigeria”, I’m there.

It is not heaven.

The Lagos Metro is far cleaner and more pleasant than what I'm suffering here.

And NO. Air-conditioned City Metro Rail networks are NOT ''common in ''third world'' countries, so stop lying out of your hate for Nigeria.
This is a ridiculous post

tinubu never built the metro. In fact he abandoned it .

This is a public forum. Get your facts right to avoid unnecessary bashing
And from what you posted now, what shows Tinubu abandon the project?

See, No governor builds a metro alone because it is a big project.( l mean long term investment) .

it takes a leader with vision to design the master plan and kick start it.

Tinubu laid the foundation, others followed the blueprint, that is why lagos metro exists today. grin
Which foundation did he lay?

is it the one he stole from lateef jakande and took credit for or jakande's plan he sold out and now trying to go back to the plan by displacing people?


Well, people that know Tinubu very well knows that he didn't do much in Lagos and the only thing I know Tinubu did was to create government officials that will generate more revenue for the state...

As poor as Senegal is, they have an electric train service that has been running uninterruptedly for over a decade now.

Nigerians need to travel... No need going to US, UK, China and the other overly developed countries... Just visit some African countries first, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, and South Africa... You'll see that we're still lagging when it comes to infrastructure.
Me too I don't want to travel far. I'd prefer to visit your state.

Tinubu built what?
Do you people think Lagos did not exist before Tinubu became governor or what?
There has been incremental progress in Lagos since the time it was created up to today. This is part of the incremental progress.
The master plan for light rail in Lagos was developed by former governor Lateef Jakande in the early 1980s before Buahri/Iediagbon govt stopped it.
Do not mind this people that doesn't know history, they do not know that many of this projects are what lateef jakande has laid down, infact, Tinubu sold most of the lands that are meant for rails just to enrich his own pocket. Tinubu and fashola are villains that look saint in the eyes of the public.

Personally, I rate ambode above Tinubu and fashola.

Nice Write Up but the Major problem isn't from the Political Leader even though they have part in it.
The major problems are the People here, We are the Problem Mjorly here, when the government brought in BRT we were happy till we saw loophole and thrived on it, Many Nigerian will jump queue and pay certain amount just to be treated differently and have access to the bus, Ticketering came into existence where Government weren't getting funds as it's going to another person, the little the funds they got We nigerian employed started getting Inferior Replacement and all this are the factors that affected the first BRT, Now the government did PPP because no private investor will allow his business crumble, though the above factors are there but it's minimal.
Cantonese:
Self denial.
The truth is simply that metro just kicked off in Nigeria. What happened to the BRT buses initiated under Tinubu? Where in the world, except India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan do you find such rickety buses. BRT buses started off like this, very clean, well organized and everyone wanted to be passengers ontheir routes. What has happened today? Mostly eyesores, the buses.

The fact here is that Nigeria and Nigerians must be who they are. It is just a matter of time and you will see how the trains would be completely muddled up. In a little while, servicing will be a big issue. Cleaners will become lords and bosses and very rude to passengers. So even if New York metro is not is clean as this presently, it is more durable and reliable. It has been working for ages non stop.

By the way, when it comes to infrastructures, with all our resources, we lag behind most nations who had indepence either a little before us, at the same time or a little after. Let's simply admit that we have leadership and deep corruption issues to contend with.

How many European cities have a metro line as extensive as Lagos. Go do your research and you'll be surprised to learn that many of them don't have a metro line that services the volume of people or that is anywhere as long.

Take note I said metro line, no InterCity rail.

Gbam..

People that have not travelled through Europe would be telling people like me that has lived here for more than 3 decades about third world countries.

If most of us could secure a similar salary in Nigeria or even half in a reputable organisation I'll seriously consider relocating back to Nigeria.
