And you don't have enough info because you are too lazy to do basic research about what you're criticizing, Ignorance is a disease. Next>>> |

Gekko: Sit in those things at your own risk. On my visits to NY i was thoroughly disgusted. The A line is an eye sore. . It is so expensive to maintain as well. Their transportation authority is always cutting one service or the other. They think Nigerians are not well travelled, so they can feed us anything and we will swallow it hook, line and sinker. People are voicing their opinions and thoughts, these paid robots, and children with limited intelligence are throwing tantrums and looking for who will babysit them through long, ridiculous, meaningless arguments. |

Just to alleviate some of the concerns raised: The contract is for 25 years or so, right? The cars probably don't have that long in them, probably 10-15 years or so. Use them for that period of time, then upgrade in 10-15 years. At that time, the Lagos Rail will be fully profitable and throwing off a lot of cash, so you'll be able to fund new railcars easily. Where is the harm in being cheap now while the project is still new? I mean, is riding in this really suffering: [flash=500,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VoGgi4nuv0[/flash] I don't see how that is a worse ride than what most in America or Canada commute in. |

olabukola: Read you own post, it's there. Do some of you really think the folks behind the project are dumb and incompetent to the extent that they'll build something like that without making provisions for things like regular power supply to make it functionflwlessly? Even the state's water works are getting their own dedicated power plants. Many don't know anything about the state, they don't follow the state's activities, but they want to argue and run mouth based on their own ignorance. |

@Musiwa Stop sneaking lies into this thread. The rail lines being constructed for the project are standard gauge. They have nothing to do with current single gauge NRC lines. And the Chinese company CCECC is a construction company. Their job is to construct the lines not supply the trains. JB are responsible for expanding the road network. In case that was too hard to understand I will reiterate the information using pretty colours. Train Line = CCECC Trains Cars = The Toronto Transit Commission Road Expansion = Julius Berger If the above info is still too hard for you to understand without maps, just look at the pretty colours. Look at how the purple is sooo purple. There's a good lad. |

ekt_bear: The most important thing and what I really love about this project is that we now have the infrastructure and template to build on, modernize and and expand as needed. This single act alone is set to get rid off many cars of our roads, reduce pressure on our roads and make them last longer, reduce air, cut down noise pollution and generally solve a huge chunk of our traffic problems, |

This is a great move without any question, but I challenge Fashola to present his plans for this project and I'm 100% sure that it wouldn't take too long to discover few loopholes that will allow either his strategies or human rights law or even security of the citizens to be compromised . This is just his style of leadership; he produces, but he's never on point (but yet we praise the dude). He is the type that will destroy a market place and use the land to construct a recreation park; he forgets that we still need the same market place to get our food supplies. Once again, in my book this dude is just ok, his intentions are completely bright, but he mostly allows his emotion to over shadow his strategies. Fashola needs not only to be systematic but also technical during the implementation of his projects in Lagos or else things will continue to fall apart few years after the completion. Here is another example of Fashola's style: Instead of taking all necessary steps to plan a successful strategy as President Obama has just done in Pakistan, Gov Fashola would have ordered the NAVY seals to bomb Osama Bin Laden's house if he was in-charge of the operation that successfully killed the terrorist. I honestly don't think the dude is that smart and absolutely not as tough as you guys think. |

Gekko: WTH? Those are the financial advisers for the project. How can you say it's not a legitimate source? What is the matter with some of you? http://www.investec.co.uk/#home/lending_and_financing/project_and_infrastructure/Transport/transport_deals/ekorail_nigeria.html |

Big B1:Not a single sense is in this crap i tell you. What has Fashola got to do with Navy seals? You are a Dimwit |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by Afam4eva(m): 6:46pm On May 16, 2011 |
Fashola should use this term to focus on people oriented projects and not all this white elephant projects. The poor people suffered during his first term in office. |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by Mariory(m): 6:48pm On May 16, 2011 |
Big B1: STFU! |

afam4eva: I guess na goats go dey ride the trains and not people, You do sound like an Ignorant goat sha, |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by Mariory(m): 6:50pm On May 16, 2011 |
afam4eva: Rail transportation is a white elephant project? There is something seriously wrong with some of you. |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by EkoIle1: 6:51pm On May 16, 2011 |
Mariory: The idea is to criticize and display bad bele by any means necessary, not to reason or argue intelligently |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by BigB11(m): 6:53pm On May 16, 2011 |
All I'm asking for is a successful implementation of the project; an implementation that will not compromise human rights law or the security of the citizens, but empowers the people of Lagos state. Fashola is known to do wuruwuru projects. |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by Afam4eva(m): 6:53pm On May 16, 2011 |
Eko Ile: No, na person wey never chop go enter that fine train. Or is it going to be free? We keep forgetting that this is Africa and our primary objective is to get people out of poverty. We should stop trying to be like New york overnight. |

I think that one of the implicit assumptions of democracy is that those who are being governed have common sense and wisdom. It is a good thing some of the posters here don't represent the thinking of your typical Lagosian. |

afam4eva:Olodo, you are sounding more steweeped and ediotic everyday, Is it animals that are Riding the Badly maintained Nigeria Railway Lines? @Big1, am not an animal so don't expect to cast a animal word |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by seanet02: 6:58pm On May 16, 2011 |
Big B1:I gues BRF buses are wuruwuru projects? I guess Oshodi Beautification is wuruwuru projects? I guess 390 kilometers of Newly completed Roads are wuruwuru projects? You sound so STEEWPEED |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by BigB11(m): 6:59pm On May 16, 2011 |
@seanet02: Not an animal, you're a good man< i"m sure Could you please list just 2 of the latest projects implemented by Fashola? |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by kulutempa: 7:00pm On May 16, 2011 |
I assume that Nigerians who have access to the internet can read and write and have at least secondary school if not higher education. If some of the comments here are anything to go by, I am fearful for the future of our country. |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by BigB11(m): 7:03pm On May 16, 2011 |
@seanet02: Again, I didn't expect you to catch my gist. It usually takes a few months to clearly see my point. You're a good man, please ignore my silly post. |
Re: In Pictures Fashola Inspects Trains, Facilities For Lagos Light Rail In Canada by Mariory(m): 7:05pm On May 16, 2011 |
Big B1: Please stop. . .just stop. This thread has become a brain killer. Just unbelievable. *Sigh* |

[size=24pt]I hope for the sake of Nigeria that the views being express in this thread by some of you, are not representative of the Nigerian citizenry, if so you guys will forever be dependent on foreigners. [/size] |

Mariory: Every tom dick & harry knows the lagos rail project cost way more than $500.00. |
