Lies of the Year

kedeojo:
Real billionaires with valid business not audio billionaires with questionable wealth. The so called youngest billionaire on Forbes some years ago was later caught last year or so, as a yahoo boy. Most of this under 30 or early 30 are yahoo boys. Ogunlesi is dominating in USA and UK. He is the owner of Gatwick airport and others.

The Lagos Blue Line Phase 1, spanning 13 kilometers from Marina to Mile 2, successfully transported 2.37 million passengers by December 2024, 15 months after its launch on September 2023.

Constructed and operated by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), the electric light rail project is a key milestone in Lagos State’s transportation plan.

This data was disclosed earlier in the week by John Zhao, a senior CCECC official, via his official X (formerly Twitter) account.

“On September 4, the Lagos Light Rail Blue Line Phase 1 celebrated its first year of operation. Built and operated by #CCECC, this phase spans 13 kilometers, including 8.1 kilometers of elevated bridges and a 530-meter sea-crossing bridge.

“The line features 5 stations and a design speed of 80 km/h. Since its official launch, it has safely transported 2.37 million passengers, providing residents with a more convenient and comfortable transportation option,” Zhao’s tweet read.

The 2.37 million passengers recorded by December 2024 builds on earlier milestones, including 1 million passengers transported within the first 219 days, 1.6 million in the first year of operation, and 583,000 passengers moved during the initial four months of service, from September 4, 2023, to January 4, 2024.

What you should know
The Lagos Blue Line metro rail, spanning 27 kilometers, is a vital component of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) system. The first phase, a 13-kilometer stretch from Marina to Mile 2, was completed in 2023 and began commercial operations in September of the same year.

The second phase, a 14-kilometer extension from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko, is currently under construction by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) and is expected to be completed by 2026.

As of December 2024, 26-27% of Phase 2 was completed, according to Olasunkanmi Okusaga, Director of Rail Transport at the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).

As part of Phase 2, LAMATA plans to demolish the Mazamaza Bridge and construct a new one after structural tests revealed the existing bridge could not support railway operations.

Two additional bridges—the Satellite Bridge and the LASU Bridge—will be constructed, each designed with a lifespan of over 75 years to guarantee long-term durability and safety for rail operations.

The Phase 2 project will include six stations at Festac, Alakija, Trade Fair, Volkswagen, LASU, and Okokomaiko.

Additionally, a 400,000-square-meter depot at Okokomaiko will serve as the central hub for rail maintenance and operations, ensuring seamless functionality and supporting future expansions of the rail system.

The south east that you hates so much as evident in your comment are the reason why you may not be successful in life since you know better than the authorities

gidgiddy:
And how do you know this?

9jvirgin:
The destruction and end of Nigeria will be worst than Syria and Afghanistan. APC will bring Nigeria to an expected and total doom. By 2027, the people will be eating stones and sand. The indescribable pains that will come on Nigerians will be unexplainable.

BlueRayDick:
I’m not giving anything to them.

If u know the street , u will know blocking off the street was totally unnecessary. The people they arrested are inside just one building ; all they needed was march them down from the building to their vehicles parked beside the building .

Blocking off the entire street and preventing other road users from using the road makes absolute no sense during closing hours . That singular act caused serious spiraling traffic all over V.I that day .

They can effect the arrests without creating a scene .

BlueRayDick:
So this was why EFCC blocked off the entire Oyin Jolayemi street last week ( I can’t remember if it was Monday or Tuesday ) ?

It was a complete mess that day , they caused a massive traffic for every law abiding Nigerians that day around office closing hours . Anybody in V.I that day would remember how terrible the traffic was and how people were stranded .

I really don’t understand why our security agencies must create one problem while trying to solve another one. They literally prevented anybody from accessing Oyin Jolayemi street with a vehicle by parking vans at the beginning of the street and had to force everybody to pass alternative routes that were quite narrow and overflowing traffic .

MamaOghenero:
Incompetent buffoon. Ever since you ran away with power against the wishes of sane Nigerians, you have plunged the economy of this country into the dirty murky water of poverty. An idiot that has no single economic plan or blueprint apart from taking orders from his slave masters in Europe.

swaggerjack:
Yorubas are proud of Kemi Badenoch and other strong Yoruba women like her, same cannot be said of BAT that introduced thuggery and bullion van politics to Lagos.

Yorubas are not proud of weak men that support corruption and thuggery.

swaggerjack:
She was also referring to people like you who asslick the people that turned the country to the poverty and corruption capital of the world.
