Matthewbriggs: Is it not those same "old, end-of-life", abandoned locomotives" that were re-painted by GEJ?

Missy89: Lol. I hear that. From the outside looking in, you can't help but get mad at the arrogance and how brazen the elites are in enriching themselves, at the expensive of the poor folks...who look half-dead. That's the humanity in you, and being averse to seeing disadvantaged folks being cheated out of their just due. However, once you analyse the stupidity of these sycophantic pseuds...you'll understand why those folks don't care. And can you really blame them since life is about the survival of the fittest, and maximising every opportunity? - classic capitalism. Then, when you realise that poorest don't have access to the internet; their voices can't be heard; most of them don't understand what's going on; and they want the best out of life but just don't have what it takes to demand it. Humanity will kick in again. The funniest thing is that: it's not like these folks are indoctrinated with anything, like other countries where everything is controlled. These folks are just used to poverty, underdevelopment, mediocrity, and lacking the best in life - and it's more or less a norm now. Hence they'd rather play the deceitful tripe, to maintain loyalty to what they aren't benefiting zilch from, rather than ask questions and demand their just due. I'm out, man. ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |

The rails may be of different technology,using different types of rolling stock/carriage and passing through varying terrain and different right of way,different LOS (Level of Service), cost of compensation, built by different pedigree of contractors and so on and so on and so on. Hence, the huge variance in estimated contract sum. But what do I know. I'm just an ordinary civil engineer. 1 Like |

@ Matthewbriggs played a fast one on all of you. He compared the costs of STANDARD GAUGE rail from Abuja -Kaduna and LIGHT RAIL in APC controlled states that are INTRA CITY. The proper thing to do would have been to compare the costs of LIGHT RAIL PROJECTS in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja . The Abuja Light Rail costs FAR exceed the amount for the the other two. For instance, the Lot1B of the Abuja Light Rail ,covering a distance of 31 kms will cost the federal government $750 million. |

agabaI23: Do you know what is called right-of-way? Building a new railway track on an existing right-of-way is technically supposed to significantly reduce the overall project costs. This is a superior advantage the Abuja-Kaduna railway project has over Lagos light rail project. For those who don't know, the Lagos light rail project is a dual project that also involves the reconstruction and upgrading of Federal highway from 6-lanes to 10 lanes. A BRT lane is also incorporated into this design. This is in addition to the light rail track been fitted alongside the road constructions. This project is the biggest infrastructural construction in West Africa. Right-of-way is being expanded to cater for the ambitious project hence leading to several demolition of structures and consequent compensations. The OP needs to study more on project management and cost analysis! |

TonySpike:OP's argument was dead on arrival as it was flawed and majorly driven by sentiment. He has stated severally that he is only interested in pointing out hypocrisy but of course he usually gets tangled in the process. He just doesn't get it that we have the right to criticise our president if we feel he is underperforming |
