After several years, one phase should at least be complete. It's a monorail, if it were to be underground rail, that means it would take a million years to complete one phase.


A monorail costs billions of dollars that Rivers State does not have to hand..

Amaechi and Fashola how market? You both spent eight years as governors of Rivers and Lagos states; wasted billions of your states' resources on monorail without success. Look at Ayade, barely one year old in office, with less resources, has done the impossible: a monorail is ready for commissioning! Shame on you both. May God bless governor Ayade and the good people of Cross River. And may God punish those that wasted Rivers and Lagos resources on white elephant projects!

You are being totally ridiculous. The Lagos Metro project is a FAR bigger project, which is bound to take much longer to get on stream than the Calabar monorail. And important progress has been made so far in the project. Some of you are just so loud and thoughtless. What will you say the day the first trains start running on the Lagos network?

[b][size=18pt]The great vision of former governor Donald Duke is at play. Where is the one done by Former Governor James Onanefe Ibori of Delta state and his successor, Governor Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan?

Ibori and Uduaghan was just eating money. Warri and the entire Delta state is as dry as dry corn. Efcc will soon be after Uduaghan

I like the way President Buhari is identifying with the developmental strides of Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River state. Some months back he was at the state to commission a highway that leads from cross river state down to northern nigeria. This is commendable.

In the Niger Delta, the states that are moving forward with infrastructural development is Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers, Edo states, and to some little extent Rivers states. The likes of Delta states, Bayelsa states has nothing to show for their huge money earned from the federation account being an oil and gas producing states.

Edo state under Governor Oshiomole would have done better if he had the kind of resources being at the disposal of core oil producing states in the Niger delta.

Former governor Uduaghan achieved nothing in Delta states, it is the wounds that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa is still treating today.

Its always good when one is knowledgeable about what you are arguing on.
Fasola own is never monorail like River and Cross River rather Metro line.
You can try and check your Google for meaning and pictures of the two.
Thank you.

Mr knowledgeable, are you sure you check google before posting this? Its not enough to check meaning and pictures of the two. Did you try to find out what Lagos govt is doing. I know it was Jakande that began a metroline project in Lagos during the second republic. The mighty Buhari overthrew that republic and stopped the project. Fashola started the monorail project and Ambode is continuing it from Marina to Lekki. Infact the Japanese govt approved a $1b loan for the project recently. Please try to constantly update your knowledge sir!

On a serious note, Buhari met over $30 billion in foreign reserve, that's enough fund for him to hit the ground running.

you are right though............its just that not saint among them all

This your line of argument is what makes me believe you have absolutely no clue what a monorail project is, the amount it would cost to build it, the scope of the project and the timeline to achieve it.

Rivers State Monorail will cost the State Trillions of Dollars.. Will take over 100 years to complete and will cover Lagos bustop-Obigbo (1st line), Omerelu - Education bustop in Mile 1 (2nd line) and across East - West road (3rd line). That is not a Project for 1 day.. Continuity is the key.
young man God forbid wike to continue Dat visionless project filled with criminality

Cross River State is ready for the commissioning of the Calabar Monorail which is expected to be commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari on a soon to be announced date.

According to the State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade, the President’s Commissioning of the Monorail will be to mark his first year in office.

Speaking moments after a second test ride in the monorail, in Calabar the Cross River State Capital, Ayade said that taking another ride in the monorail was his own way of checking to ensure that the project was ready for commissioning before the President arrives the state.

Ayade maintained that with the kick-off of the monorail, the state’s economy would be boosted and many employment opportunities would be opened for the unemployed in the state.

On whether the monorail would be fully ready to accommodate the huge crowd that will flood the state soon, the Governor averred that, with the commitment shown by the contractor, he is optimistic that everyone visiting will not only have a smooth ride on the rail but a memorable experience.

There's no monorail in Calabar. This things runs from the conference centre to tinapa... It is not like you can board it to anywhere. Just a fun ride within tinapa

I am not telling you what Google told me about the two but what I knew and understand the operations.
What Lagos is constructing now that will take off from Marina via Orile-Mile 2 to Badagry is not monorail but Metroline.
I am not on social media to argue but to learn and for your information, Monorail as the name imply works on only single pavement like structure but metro travel on rail like normal train we both knew.
If you are not sure and you can not ask Google or do your findings, I will like you to let us challenge yourself with pictures of the two.
Keep on enjoying the rest of your days.
N.B: If you need the pix personally, you may send your mail address Sir.
Thanks and God bless.
