Please Hawking of gala and fanyogo is not allowed

If I didn't hawk fanyogo in my street hustling years, I wouldn't probably be where I am today. Stop ridiculing hustlers pls. You can focus on the fake developers alone

Funny enough a guy in my place is really dreaming of relocating to Lagos State. He said he is tired of the fake informations his people (from the region you know without mentioning it) is spreading about. He said and I quote " my brothers will come with huge amount of money spending it during Christmas season and burial and still they keep telling us Lagos is worse than their entire region and every bad things". My dear fellow Nigerians the rest is history
Lagos leads other states learn. They are learning because non of them can follow or else they will mortgage the state for life. Genesis 12 vs 3

This is huge for Lagos and Lagosians..

This is not what you think it is! They are playing politics with everything. I'm very sure they are speeding up the project to convince Lagosians and Nigerians and then force Tinubu on Nigerians considering the damage the Buhari and APC govt have done already! Silly people, thinking everyone is a slowpoke and everyone can be cajoled

Lagos country! The only working state in Nigeria.

It is not the acquisition of machines that is the main deal. The main deal is long-term maintenance!
Can we maintain these for the next 30-50 years time? Where are the expert engineers to maintain these things!
Any country can mobilize finance to acquire any machine or equipment in this world. But it takes consistency in good systems, attitude, discipline, planning, political stability, competence, management etc to maintain such -this is where no one has been able to convince me.
But it is a good step!

Please what is the same time? Next week? Next month? Next year? Or next never seeing how Tinubu and his minions have been talking about the light rail being ready for the past 22 years without moving any Lagosian with it even though billions of dollars loans, guaranteed by the federal government have disappeared into thin air.

Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola
January 9, 2013

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.

Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.

“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.

“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.

“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

Other Governors should think out of box, find means of generating IGR to develop their state rather than depending of FG. Kudos to Lagos state

Ayodeoba:
even if it is so,they ought to be commended,they have really tried

Yes o they have really tried in the eyes of suffering and smiling burden bearers of the a-looter continua by Tinubu & co since 1999. Thankfully not everyone is happy to be in the suffering and smiling group. Thankfully so.

SB2020:
Interesting facts about Addis Ababa and Lagos light rail projects.

Addis Ababa / Lagos
Cost == $475Million / $1.2Billion
Length == 34km / 27km
Time to Complete == 4years / 7years (projected)
Year Awarded == 2011 / 2008 (Construction began 2010)
Contractor == China Railway Eng. Corp (CREC) /Chinese Civil Eng. Constr. Coy (CCECC)
Population == 5Million / 20Million
GDP == $50Billion (Ethiopia) / $100Billion (Est.) (Nigeria - $535B)


Ethiopia has managed to deliver Sub-Saharan Africa’s first modern light rail project which opened in the capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, and in the process, beat Lagos whose own rail project remains four years behind schedule.

Ethiopia’s rail project was delivered on time, despite its being longer than the Lagos – Badagry rail line currently under construction.

Addis Ababa’s two line 34-kilometre system was built by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) and cost $475m, 85 percent of which has been covered by China’s Exim bank. The Lagos Light Rail Project or Blue on Badagry Expressway, was to have 13 stations from Okokomaiko to Marina via Iddo for a total of 27 kilometres.

The contract was awarded to the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) at the cost of $1.2 billion in 2008, and was to be delivered in 2011. Survey work took one year between August 2009 and August 2010 while construction began July 2010.

The work is being implemented using the public and private partnership (PPP) model, whereby the state builds the infrastructure and the private sector provides the rolling stock and management. However, the project has not worked out according to the plan.
The 2011 deadline was missed, even though the State government got a loan to fund the project.

Kudos for propaganda and lies? Or kudos for what? Abi how many people are being carried daily already on the phantom train since Tinubu talked about it 22 years ago

You are not just a great man sir, you are also a wise man.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us and may God help you to continue the hard work of enlightening everyone with your wisdom for the liberation of Lagos and our country from Jagbajantis Ogbeni Ojuyobo, the Asiwaju agberos.

just say,you re suffering but not all of us,lagos state had really performed wonderfully and ought to be commended.
We understand people like you are always praying for bad occurrence and you always get sober when good things happens,but my advice for you is,life is not a Dick,stop taking it hard

How much is brt in Lagos, stop this nonsense, upon the fact that it is modified molue, yet the poor masses can't afford it.

Train is always in batches...you saw just one of the batch, you stupidly brought out your ignoramus mentality....even in London and New York we have two batches of trains. It all boils down to several passengers that have been speculated in that axis...

I know staying in the nyamiri region all through your life has beclouded your sense of good judgement...
