Nigeria and Mexico approached China for credit facility to rebuild their railway systems (and other infrastructures). They both got the credits.
Look at what each country did with the money.
Are you not being short changed?
Don't you deserve Better?

PDP generated 4,000 MW @ $32.4bn in 16yrs while China Generated 22,500 MW @ $26bn

Nigeria is so far behind ,it's not a joke . one of my best friends is from Peru which is a third world country . below are trains and subways in Lima ,Peru. if they have all these and are still considered third world , you can just imagine how far Nigeria has to go.
Nigerian love celebrating mediocrity. nations are developing at a fast rate,Yet nigerian are celebrating a few mediocre roads,college foot ball stadium, and unneeded flyover in uyo - uyo is smaller than compton or inglewoood which are just sections of LA city. all of the develpment in uyo will decay within the next 8 years and will not be maintained because oil is running out . human development ,just copycat and mediocre duplicate. ignorance and stupidity .

which rail project is on course

the one Fashola's relative used to buy penthouses in dubai while their gullible followers shout change in urine smelling slums in jakande

Na you sabi..

I pass that route everyday and I know the project is on course because I see the workers on site and I see the pillars that are been erected. Towards the Marina end, they have gotten to the Ijora Olopa area.

If you live in Lagos, you can go to that axis and see the work going on for yourself.

I will do, we will do, we plan to, I vow to, we are looking into it, a committee will be set up, etc.

No matter how good-intention Jonathan is, he will continue to fail as long as he cannot fight corruption. He himself is corrupt and as such got no balls to fight it.


Well, GEJ has tried in the transportation sector, I will give him a C.

boy is corruption a tree? if it were all axe would have bought in the market for the purpose of cutting it down. corruption is a human like u, you dont expect him to be so foolish by killing people he think are corrupt. a future society without corruption begins with you and me, purge ur mind off ills, in form of stealing, lying etc etc. thos aged you think are corrupt were once of our age. so what are u doing at this age in preparation for a serene society tomorow? ask you self, Goodluck came n met corruption. the change begins with u and me stop pointing fingers.

tonytony208:
i intentionally shunned any intended insult in your comment.

Fashola said he would deliver the project in 2012. But 3 years running, here you are talking about slow and steady.

No insults were intended.

Deadlines were set and reviewed for various reasons. I do not deny that the deadline for project completion has changed a couple of times.

It still does not justify you calling a project that is ongoing even as we speak, a "moribund" project. Work on the project has been going on steadily in the last year and much progress has been made.

2018? I think say they don commision the thing, this administration sha, what "they will" do is more than "what they have" done...now they will. Ask for another 4 yrs to finish the project, thats 2023

For the records though, the lagos-kano rail revamp n abuja-lagos plans were started by d obasanjo regime.

Contract to rebuild Lagos to Kano railway line
On 30 October 2006 President Olusegun Obasanjo signed a contract with China Civil Engineering
Construction Corporation [4] to modernise the Lagos to Kano railway line. This is the first phase
of the proposed 3 phase line upgrade. The project has been split up into 5 sections namely
Lagos-Ibadan (181 km), Ibadan-Ilorin (200 km), Ilorin-Minna (270 km), Minna–Abuja–Kaduna
(360 km), and Kaduna-Kano (305 km). Construction started, but the project was suspended in
2008 following a dispute.


China helps with revolutionary "fast" rail
Announced 22 March 2006. In terms of a Memorandum of Understanding signed by Nigeria’s
Federal Government on 16 March, the Guangdong Xinguang International Group is to construct a
revolutionary “fast” rail (RFR) system from Lagos to the capital Abuja (where there is no existing
railway) as well as light rail lines to the Murtala Mohammed International Airport from Lagos city
and to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport from the Abuja city centre. According to the minister
of commerce, $US2billion has been made available to start the projects, and the Chinese
company will also invest in the three planned stages of the projected Abuja light rail system.

LeStylo:
Some people mumu sha. Where in the world is 100,000km of rail track. At least tell lies with common sense.
This is just one of the many rail promises for 2015 votes. The design has not even been done, much less ground-breaking!

[color=#1980BC] When they say some Nigerians are illiteratez people will start shouting or how is that one cannot come to terms with the general length of our rail network criss crossing the country?? Pls dont infect others with your disease.. [/color]

[size=20pt] a crippled mans only prayer will be to be able to walk first before thinking of running
for many years our railway system have been crippled and we should be grateful that at least we can now walk before thinking of light speed rails

4years ago there is no possible and cheap way to transport stuff north to south and there was increase pressure on our roads no thanks to the accident causing large vehicle. now the trains back and we busy comparing ourselfs with mexico

life is in stages and we must give ourselves the chance to grow

only if you can walk can you think of running [/size]

my dear am beginning to like you.Most Nigerians are ingrates can't u be grateful for the little change you see.Anyway,you will see great changes when I become the "first female president of Nigeria" in 2025 till then "Half bread is berrer than chin-chin"

tonytony208:
go and ask raji fashola and his moribund and fraudulent light rail project that question. Also ask amechi and his fraudulent 19 billion naira loan that he coaxed the state assembly to approve. Maybe you also want to ask him to give account of how he spent d money.

And do not forget to ask fashola why lagos is the most corrupt state in Nigeria in 2014.

The change apc is preaching is fake.

How much can Fashola muscle compared the the Federal government? And he has still done these much?
Lagos does not have oil revenue running into billions of dollars constantly per day like FG has. It is only this internally generated revenue(tax) (& you people are still shouting why are they taxing people), and monthly allocation, that Lagos state has.
I was very much aware of when the world bank was assisting Lagos state on this project, but they stopped. Which had made it difficult for Lagos to finance it all alone.
note, this project is a brand new rail project starting from scratch, unlike rehabilitation that Jonathan is doing.
In the case of the FG project, the tracks, rails, stations etc has been built before. They are only rehabilitating,and putting their newly purchased trains(the coaches bought self are not bend new) on the rails.
Now in the case of the Lagos light rail, what I expect a responsible federal government to do, is to support the monumental project, considering it would be beneficial to the bulk of the the Nation's work force, which are the 20million 'Nigerians' not 'Lagosians' living in Lagos state.
And note: Fashola said in a conference last two weeks that with or without the FG, thy have already straightened out their plan,and the only problem they have now is time. Not money.
And I see the project everyday en-route to work, the project has already gotten to Apogbon approaching CMS, shortly after National theater, almost at its final destination.
Remarkable Project!

Those govs you mentioned started landmark rail projects and we can see the structures. Arguably, they would have concluded if Gej did not frustrate them. Don't forget, rail transportation is the responsibility of the FG. Now a challenge to you, please show me any brand new rail project that Gej commenced and concluded in his tenure.

Rubbish....I was Happy nt until I jst read thru n saw till 2018. Mtsheww.
