Some projects are mere waste of public funds...i get confused each day i see the ongoing construction at oshodi. Thieves everywhere sad

expect tolls to be there and it will generate huge revenues to the state.

And Dubai 7 Star Hotel - Burj Arab was built with only $35million.

Uncle!! Really? I wouldn't want to enter a building of that magnitude if it did actually cost 35m.... some serious corners would have been cut somewhere.

Depending on what article you reference, the Burj is quoted as haven costed between 650m to 1 billion......dollars!

let's compare the years of the projects carried out and compare the inflation. Apabio is a theif. 19 billions then is like 200 billions in sai baba regime.

Get wisdom. Go to Oshodi and see the extension done to carve out a new road for brt
stick to the point and detest name calling. The op posted a prototype,we all can't go and face the traffic at oshodi just to view your so called extensions(which are non-existent). The BRT,like is the case with ikorodu road will be curved out of an already existing road

It's either you're typing from one backward village with no prospects or you are suffering from factory fitted ignorance.

There's an ongoing rail project in Lagos and rail stations are being built.

Bros,

You and @GavelSlam have just made my day with the sub on this "patently ignorant" guy. I laugh at times when some random "village rat" with access to cheap phones and data, post "emphatic-ignorance" about what they know absolutely nothings about. He talks about rail lines, but if he bothered to ask those living in Lagos or been to Lagos or looked at the diagram carefully, He would have discovered or they would have told him that Terminal 1 actually overlays an existing rail-line/proximal, as such the basement automatically replaces the old train station.

Its hard to tell. The projects look worthy of the quoted figures. Especially Lagos. New structures, major road expansion, compensation for affected properties and awhole lot

You have a good point jor!

Lagos is projected to have 60 million inhabitants in the next 15-20 years
Rail is the most efficient form of mass transport

Lagos currently only operates ONE rail service with 4-6 coaches every 3 hours. Appalling is an understatement.

If you live in Lagos, you'd have seen the LAMATA rail project around Leventis Bus Stop on the Island or Iganmu area on the mainland.
Tinubu's Lagos is pretty much an undiscovered treasure

Intolerance to others' views or perceived ignorance is not a sign of intelligence.

It might be a sign of superiority BUT no one knows everything (FACT), HOW will you know that you do not know and who will then educate you on that which you do not know if you hold superiority over others?

AtikuNetwork:


That is a lie. People like you will always play politics with our development by always using 'overblotted' cost as an excuse for us not to develop. Project costs are inflated everywhere in the world, yet those countries are still doing big projects, modernizing and developing. And our people will go abroad and clap for their modernity while abusing their own country for not developing like those countries. No matter the cost of the project some will still say it is inflated.

Not surprised. AtikuNetwork. I believe that's what will continue to happen if Atiku succeeds

Both projects has its usefulness to the overall development of sports, transport n economy of the country. Operated or not, I go with the standard and completion of both projects by the duo: uncommon transformer Godswill akpabio n Gov Ambode

Agreed, but we get way too many bigots and ignorant people imposing their views on the public.

Once in a while they need to be shut down.

when you compare the dollar value in 2014 with 2018 it is quite different. Then the economic value of Lagos project cannot be compared with Uyo project. thanks
