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).

The real issue at hand; 2015 election budget cost N93bn this Include purchase of new card reader technology, deployment and training on card reader usage
2019 inec suplimentary budget N242bn(+2018 inec budget just passed) this is an increment of over N142bn, without purchase of new card reader machines
Elections conducted after 2015 shows high tendencies of vote buying with highest buyer paying 5k.
1000000000000 (100bn excess inec budgets) / 5000(average cost of vote buying) = 20000000 votes (20m illegal and induced votes)

- Why are they hell bent on impeaching saraki now 6months to termination of APC rule ?
- why did ministries and agency heads fail to show up at NASS to defend their budgets

...why are all of the aspirants from the North and North Central...this trully shows that power lies in the North...

...what will happen if the next president is from the North and PDP, it means that person will rule for the next 8 years before anyone from the South east can smell Aso Rock...2027 latest

...if APC Buhari stays for the next 4 years, South east have got the chance in 2023...

I have to admit that you did a good job.

So the Easterners are Israelite? And Igbo was spoken before the English Language? we are gradually getting there.

So far, we have been able to establish we are from Israel. In a little while, we will also claim Jesus of Nazareth and the 12 Disciples are from the Eastern part of Nigeria.

The Queen of England looks like Orji Kalu, I am sure her ancestors are from the lost tribe of the Igbo.


its actually true the igbos predates adam and eve in the garden of eden.

ojukwu had the dna of king david

Bros, read the article to understand and remove your prejudice. It's a Nigerian thing to attack the messenger and dump the message!!! The man simply broke down our problem in a clear and concise manner. At the same time advised you and me on what to do. What's so hard about this. Empower yourself and forget about all these divide and rule tactics the elites use to confuse me and you. I wish this piece can be pinned on Nairaland front page for a month!

HISTORY HAS A FUNNY WAY OF REPEATING ITSELF: BENUE-PLATEAU IS GONE FOREVER
Written By Aiden Dillion
When Fulani first arrived in Sokoto, they convinced local Hausa peasants they came to help them fight corruption in the already existing and flourishing Habe monarchies in Sokoto, Katsina, Kano, Bauchi, Zaria and the rest. Funny enough, it was poor illiterate Hausa masses that helped Fulani herdsmen then overthrow their kings. Hausa peasants fell for the Fulani bullshit of coming to help them fight corruption. Look at where they are today. No Hausa man has ever ruled Nigeria. This is a fact!
From Sokoto to Kano, Katsina to Zaria- Fulani swept away every Hausa resistance under the sun. Hausa kings were killed or exiled, their land and people brought under the control of the Sunna-Wahabi Sultanate of Sokoto. Sokoto was the first major Hausa town to fall to the conniving invading scavenging Fulani hordes. These Fulanis enthroned their emirate system of government and proceeded to subjugate and virtually enslave the majority Hausa populations of the North till date.
The same scenario is at play again today in BENUE-PLATEAU where under the guise of another War Against Corruption, the Fulani Gambari has again unleashed death on indigenous populations. The same populations that helped them fight the Igbo people in 1967. Do you see how they roll? By the time the dust of the ongoing carnage in the Middle Belt settles, Plateau and parts of Benue State will be Fulani Emirates. There is nothing anyone can do about it.
CNN, the largest news network in the world is owned by an obscure Islamic Saudi businessman and no longer by Americans in Ted Turner or Time-Warner corporation. No major news outlet will ever give the ongoing genocide in Middle Belt any sustained objective coverage. Do you know they reported that only 9 people died in the tanker explosion in Lagos when over 60 cars in moving traffic were destroyed instantly. You do the maths.
Before we say this scenario of Fulani takeover can't happen, let us spare a thought for the equally subdued Yoruba race. This was the same trick Fulani used to take Kwara State from Yoruba people, from where they launched their Islamic conquest of all Oduduwa territories. As always they went to Illorin to help a Yoruba prince named Afonja fight his brother the Ooni of Ife. When Fulani armies (herdsmen) finished killing the Ooni and his son, they turned around and killed the same Afonja that invited them to Yorubaland.
With Prince Afonja out of the way, Fulani proceeded to consolidate their power in Yorubaland by converting Illorin to a Fulani emirate till today. This is the reason why Yoruba people will always be subservient to the all powerful, all conquering Fulani. Every Yoruba Muslim owe his or her allegiance to the Sultan of Sokoto not Ooni of Ife or Alafin of Oyo. Was it not few months ago that a Yoruba Muslim Oba declared his Kingdom a Fulani emirate.
Check out all the Yoruba heavyweights in APC or serving Buhari, they are all Muslim. Lai Mohammed, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Fashola, Saraki etc, are all Muslim. While those opposed to Buhari like Pa Adebanjo, Femi Fani-Kayode, Gov. Fayose, Obasanjo and their likes are all Christians.
Stop weeping for Middle Belt because they are gone. The only territory left is Biafra. We must defend her.

When ojukwu saw this and raised alarm, y'all ganged up against him and his tribesmen.

When nnamdi kanu said it, y'all shouted "persecute him".

Na now all of una eye dey open. I thank God for my people in the SS/SE for not embracing Islam, thereby making difficult for them to penetrate.

horsepower101:
Sometimes I feel really bad for middlebelters until I remember that they joined Hausa Fulanis to slaughter helpless Igbo civilians before and during the uncivil war. Maybe this is just karma hitting them.

Akoi turenchi ?



Yoruba business will not patronize Igbo Business, maybe if you start making originals ??

And by the way Do you think Your accross the Niger assembly plant would have 800 Marco polo buses already produced and ready for shipment ??

You should be ashamed of your comment
