Realdeals:


Stop disgracing yourself, not knowing is nothing special, I'm not in that field. What I know is that $600million has been spent so far on the project out of which Ambode claim to have spent 100M Euro (i.e almost One third of the total sum) and the project is yet to cross the lagoon.

Fashola completed all the above pictures with rail stations

bigsmoke2:

Ethiopians railway spans a distance of about 750 km Lagos railway is just 35km

wristbangle:
A whooping amount of 100 million euros could drive the project beyond it's currently state of development. So much round tripping, siphoning and magnanimous corruption.

RockHard:


Oga, abeg don't just join a conversation to feel among only to end up sounding stuupid. Do you know what and how long/far 750km actually is? Better don't let me abuse you this evening.

You've not been Ethiopia ...not an easy terrain as well.

biafranqueen:
Thiefs how can that happen until power is 24 hours in Nigeria.

Look we have to get these old goats out of our leadership positions.

deomelo:




You mean you have intelligently itemized the true cost of labor, cost for metro rail bridge over the lagoon, tools and materials both local and imported, cost of drilling, pilling, boats and tugs, cement and so on and you have concluded that this is the required amount needed to finish the project?


These village bricklayers sef...

deomelo:



The level of ignorance and idiocy on NL is shameful and alarming..

wristbangle:


Deomelo,

I'm aware 100 million euro can't complete the project. The mentioned amount if it is 100% implemented would have travails the project beyond it's current state of development.

Need to say, atleast some percentage would have been shared from the government to the contractor (corporate corruption )

I understand the cons withholding the project completion such as topography, cost estimate, etc. Had it been the project manager/coordinator did a thorough feasibility study from the onset, a more realistic pipeline and fund management will be recorded for this project progress

kunmiiii:


I swear down, it's becoming rampant... NL suppose open section for them!! Most of them can't reason or form logical conclusions themselves, they succumb to flock effect and follow the bandwagon, Its freaking irritating and enraging, imagine one up there saying its all lies and not possible cos Nigeria needs 24hrs power without regarding and reading the post about the IPP plan that's been implemented, another said Ethiopia's was 750km!!! Oh Gosh!!!

Eh.. this has been thrashed here before. They are not the same model. Besides, the Lagos one has met with series of challenges that's affected its timely delivery.

Lagos light rail is elevated for most parts since it runs on swampy land and it's also a 2 way rail.

You'll have to calculate the cost of the pilings, the concrete footings and it's larger size to accommodate the 2 trains at the same time.

It also crosses a water body and it's complete with a super highway that runs alongside it with pedestrian bridges linking the train stations which are also elevated.

The Ethiopian Lightrail runs on land and is a normal railway line with stops alongside it.

Their specifications and topography are miles apart, hence the cost difference and delivery timing. (Credit to ba7man).

Something that took Ethiopia just 4years to complete(2011-2015) at a fraction of the cost Lagos is spending and still to spend.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addis_Ababa_Light_Rail
By 2022,if it's actually completed by then,it would have taken Lagos state government 14years and probably a billion dollars to complete a light rail from Mile 2 to Marina.
This will surely enter into the Guiness book of records.

You are lying but you don't even know it because you have not been to Addis Ababa before and you didn't bother that someone else here might have.

You guys here are ready to swear under oath or risk your life to defend corrupt politicians even when you will not get shi shi out of it.

Ethiopian Light rail doesnt ALL run on land just like Lagos Light rail as well doesn't on the Badagry expressway axis.

ednut1:
What is on ground is not up to 10m euros abeg

Jaideyone:
really? those train stations along the road are free right? didn't you read where is did the procurement stage is complete which means the coaches might have been paid for?

what do you know about infrastructure

RockHard:


Ok sir.

Stop lying, Ethiopia metro rail is only 31 km long.
