All these aren't what I care about but how affordable and sustainable it will be henceforth! How much is it? Does anybody here know? How safe is it? How efficient is it to get tickets and can the masses afford it? That would do us a great deal of good. That's what we need this should have been available and improved upon since time immemorial nothing new here. Let anyone that has info on the above questions asked supply the answers please so that we can all benefit. Thank you.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote with over $26b worth of investment in Lagos has never made this statement talkless of your Brothers with 2m/2m shop at Alaba.

Ndi developer

dangotes networth no reach $26b talkless of investment.

and dangote isn't yoruba. So I'm still correct.

they should just pls protect these edifices from those hateful people, they have nothing than to condemn,destroy and vandalized . may they not suceed.

The train looks modern.

I am wowed, Lagos is a different Nigeria.

OriOko88:

Shut up. The advanced world trains fly underground. Go read up about metro line.

This advanced world, how much is their GDP, how much is Lagos'? Countries that qualify as 'advanced' in this world are barely close to 25 out of close to 200 countries in the world.

Asides from the novelty factor of the trains being underground, are we not inching towards achieving the same objective? If we build undergrounds today - asides from the fact that they are way more expensive, are we culturally ready for such?

Before we run, we must first walk.

COMPAQ:


Stop hanging on to the Nigeria of 1970. Nigeria of today cannot afford bullet trains. Not every country in Europe has bullet train. America has no bullet train, UK has no proper bullet train (high speed, yes, bullet no). I have taken train from London to Manchester and London to Bournemouth and also Lagos to Ibadan. While I would say the UK one was a bit more modern than the Lagos Ibadan train, but not by a whole lot. However, ours was equally as comfortable, but much slower.

Even if corruption in Nigeria were to be zero, Nigeria is still a relatively poor country by per capita standards. Yes, we would get a lot more done, but not to the extent of bullet trains. Its easy to compare Nigeria to Kuwait, UAE, Saudi etc but look at the population difference alone!! Nigeria is 220mln, UAE is 10mln while Kuwait is 3mln. That means Nigeria is 22times more populous than UAE. And both of them produce more oil than we do.

That is like comparing a man with salary of 500k a month with 3 kids and another man with same N500k a month with 66kids!!!

This false sense of "we are a rich country" is what continues to keep Nigeria poor as we continue to subsidize petrol. What Nigeria could do in terms of subsidy in 1980 with population of 70mln and maybe 5mln cars on the roads cannot be the same in 2023 with 220mln people and maybe 30mln cars on the roads!!

We have to face up to our current reality and adjust our ways of managing this economy!!

You forgot to mention that even our cost of producing oil is about $30 per barrel compared to Saudi Arabia's $3 per barrel. Nigeria is a poor country - we have just refused to accept that fact.

You are celebrating a federal train station in Lagos while Anambra has just built an international airport? Anambra no be ur mate abeg

You don't know the difference between train station and airport. Why having a local airport when the federal one is properly maintained by the state government not federal. Built by Obiano who called your candidate a liar. The only feasible achievement.

Has the airport significantly turned around the fortunes of Anambra compared to a -gasp ' mere Free Trade Zone, and the deepest Sea-Port in West Africa?

Don't worry, when we are done with our new airport in Lekki, we would have this conversation again.

You are a small, ignorant kid full of lip, so let me school you.

A metro system is an intra-city network that may or may not have underground tracks depending on several factors as earlier mentioned.

There is nothing particularly 'advanced' about having underground lines, as all it takes is digging and tunnelling. The British were doing this over 100 years ago using antiquated machinery.

They make more sense in cold, temperate climates where the enclosure underground provides natural heating, and are very costly in humid, tropical nations with their need for expensive 24/7 cooling and ventilation systems.

NIGERIA is ranked among the few African nations with a metro system, one in Lagos and the other in Abuja.

There are 'advanced' European and Asian nations, and nations in the Americas, with NO metro systems, as shown in this map.

So get rid of your complex and low self esteem.

Good day my patriotic citizen

I am not even a peter obi candidate but he is better than the other two contesting with him (he's a lesser evil). At this point in time in naija what we need is true federalism or regional system of government. It will address all the development issues all-over the country. Imagine if TIN can, MM International, the sea port and other federal infrastructure were directly in control of by yoruba people(sw) same with peo0lenin other regions like oil in SS,Gas in SE, Food in NC, minerals in NE & NW and pay a certain percentage to the federal to maintain foreign policy & territorial security, oversight governance etc. We would be better in 10years time. That to me is what Nigeria needs but unfortunately none of the candidates have mentioned such except sowore. Meaning including peter obi they are all rogues who just want to there for their own personal betterment.

OriOko88:
Impressive. But d advanced world have moved past this. What we have now is metro line,and sub ways. We still hv a long way to go in Africa.

The advanced world has gone past this, how many of this do you have in your home state? By the time there is restructuring and they sanitised Lagos and drop you at Onitsha bridge, that's when you'll know you who owns Lagos.

OriOko88:

U re daft. Im lecturing you on Wat's obtainable in d advanced world, u are here capping nonsense. Tell me one advanced world that doesn't HV metro or subway. Do they all have same topography as u ignorantly excused.
Subway and metro are d new world order if u want ur city to be categorized as megacity,youve got to provide such sophisticated infrastructures

. So be humble and be attentive u dingbat.

After the guy finished schooling you, the least you could have done is apologize for arguing ignorantly, but your ego wont let you. Next time dont say what you don't know especially in public

todugo:

You shutup too. Have you not seen or read about cable transport. That's what his talking about. Our government are busy borrowing to build infrastructures that they can not maintain
I give them 3 years and you will see the degrading state of that infrastructure. A government that workers payment is always an issue.
This country needs diverse industrialization to pull people out of poverty and unemployment and not this mediocre we are celebrating that is not sustainable.

BRT should be over 10 years now and it is still functioning. I think lagos government is doing well

HROfficial:


If you strip away all the mutual verbal abuse, what he is trying to communicate to you is that a subway system does not always make sense. Not all cities have them in what you term the "advanced world". Lagos is a low-lying coastal city with most of its coastline being at or below sea level. Digging underground tunnels that wouldn't flood and kill everyone in them would not be impossible, but would be incredibly complex and prohibitively expensive. Most other cities with such topography opt for an above ground metro system. It is simply more sensible.

Secondly, we are all well aware that we are not an "advanced world" country. We cannot afford to build "advanced world" systems for the most part. According to travelstatsman.com, it would cost around $325 billion to build the equivalent of the London Underground today. If it were to be built in Lagos, it would cost at least twice that because we would have to import virtually all the materials and much of the expertise. Please, where would the whole of Nigeria, much less Lagos, find that kind of money? The Lagos metro is fit for purpose, and built within the limitations of topography and budget. Let us celebrate it and pray for more.

igbos developed lagos. Infact all tribes developed lagos. Go to osun and compare if u want.

Omo irankiran oloripelebe, Oponu dodoyo. Igbos developed Lagos, what should Guiness, Unilever, Dangote, Nigerian Brewery, the countless Telecoms, Banks, Insurance and recently dantata that just established an almost $500m lubricant plant say, you think development is by selling fake appliances, generator parts, engine oil in 2x2 shops and hawking Gala and La Casera in traffic. freaking parasitic leeches.

You knew all this from your village? Come out sometime, travel to Lagos and see wonders. Everything no be photoshop again baba it’s 2023.

Stupid and selfish afonja
Why can’t they build a train for us in the East
Afonja and betrayal are like 5/6

Importation and real estate.

That 2x2 shop brings in millions u just don't know the logic behind a small seemingly businesses setup.

This is cool 😏

OriOko88:

And you are too uninformed to know that Lagos cannot go underground because of the low water level. Anambra would have been a good model and practical city for underground metro if the fraud Obi has anything signature project to point to but no, not even in his weirdest dreams.

U dumb fool, u will not. Listen and undstand weitin them tell u.

Hope your state Government have built underground train station in your state since the 1970s.

This light rail is far cheaper than building underground railways. We have to start from somewhere.

Stop hyping them...some countries have been using trains since 160 years ..una de hype light rail.....hmmmm, third world countries and their mentality 😔 sigh

You think importation is a measure of development, it's actually the other way round, because it's a one of the major indices affecting our economy and local development, you reckon trading in 2x2 shops is developing a place and buying a shop is real estate. This deluded interpretation of Lagos development only exists in the minds of ignorant rabble rousing Igbo folks like you. Your benighted and backward pig-ignorant definition of Lagos development sickens me. *Scoffs*

U can't even read and project what I'm implying correctly.

Importation is not development? u dont know every country imports? Even America imports heavily.

The problem is when u don't export also.

yes micro economics is vital for development even more than over industrialization unless the industries are government run or owned.

Dangote and dantata are not doing charity they are there to make their money like shell, total and chevron are doing in ND with corruption and poverty still prevalent there.

Lagos has been well developed b4 dabgote and dantata not because of them or such industries.

Look at ajakuta and other places that industries have run aground and learn from such environments.

If you see better thing make we talk , good work from Lagos stage government .

dangotes networth no reach $26b talkless of investment.

and dangote isn't yoruba. So I'm still correct.

About 547,000 results (0.31 seconds)
When in full operation, it is expected to have the capacity to process about 650,000 barrels per day of crude oil, making it the largest single-train refinery in the world. The investment is over 25 billion US dollars.

Dangote Refinery - Wikipedia


Make use of your goggle

Look no one is expecting underground metro in Lagos (one can dream) but enough of the excuses as to how it can't happen specially the one regarding Lagos being a low-lying coastal city, Rotterdam is 90% below sea-level and they have a metro network with numerous stations underground, damn even Jakarta and Bangkok both low-lying coastal cities have underground metro networks. Alexandria in Egypt another low-lying coastal city are building their underground metro network by the Chinese costing them $1.5bn, so that ridiculous estimated cost of $325 Billion for Lagos, c'mon.
