Gej who bought twice as much land as them nko? Or is lamd expensive in port and cheap in abuja?

built up areas ?

goldman777:
because advanced technology cost money gej trains ur outdated and not new so is ethiopia,lagos wants to join d likes johannesburg and tokyo as a modern megacity wit world class railing system

But now Lagos has no trains while abuja and Addis Ababa join johannesburg and tokyo as cities with a train system

Well, I don't expect more from u!
1. Ebola was defeated by 2APC Governors: Fashola and Amaechi! It took the state government to fight it ruthlessly
2. Fastest growing economy and Dollar is over N210 equivalence.
3. Over hyped Agric sector: have u ever seen made in nigeria rice? Have u tasted it! If the success is so obvious like u clueless re shouting why are we still d second largest importers of rice! Besides: what farm produce have we exported. Besides wc country is calling ur minister of agriculture ooo?
4. Ode... D one dat can't account for NNPC subsidy! Wait, what abt Kerosine subsidy! Ha PMS nko ooo.. Now dat the price is below 50naira... Dat means dey re not subsidizing again... U see... One woman n drunkard da chop ur future and u da support am

And you think the same consideration is not applicable to Kaduna-Abuja rail?
And again, even if you are considering the lagoon portion, they are yet to get to the lagoon crossing and the cost is already 150B, how much will it be when it gets to the lagoon?

is dat not supposed to be d budget for the whole project :>

Benefit of doubt when all signals point to one single thing?

I feel so much pain when I imagine people who are suppose to be reasonable become disillusioned. Nigeria is too intelligent and complicated to have an illiterate as a President! Like it or not. Even if Jonathan were to be replaced now, Buhari is not and can never be a replacement. All of you spewing trash in the name of your so called change, How would you feel having an NCE holder as a boss in your office if you are a degree holder? Of course you haven't imagined it. Now a man without a Secondary school certificate bossing on professors and professionals! God forbid! God forbid! Tufiakwa!!

DON'T MIND THE GUY YOU HEAR THE EXCUSES WEY HIM THEY GIVE, THEM TELL AM SAY FG NO SAY COMPENSATION TO PEOPLE WEY THE RAIL LINE PASS THEIR LAND OR FG NO USE THE SAME LOGISTIC, ONE THING APC SUPPORTERS HAVE IN COMMON IS GULLIBILITY, THEY CAN BUY ANY LIES AND EXPECT TO SELL THE SAME LIES TO INTELLIGENT FELLOWS WITHOUT ASKING QUESTIONS.

Slow dow your role Mr. Certificate is never a true measure of Intelligence
My leader should be one with extreme integrity, dependable and hardworking with good values.

Change is dynamic and it's certainly not going to stop after the next election. Nigerians should stop accepting mediocre leadership by way of accepting status quo and praying 24/7 for miracles. We vote these clowns into power so nothing stops us voting them out if they under perform.

jaybee3:
Value of land and/or real estate to be compensated exactly the same?

. Cost of contruction in coastal city isn't the same as that in high dry land. Lagos rail project is dual carriage.

I get tired of making/reading comment on NL these days because there are too many fo*lish people making posts and writing comments! U mentioned 2 apc govs, do pdp govs ever embarks on any project in their states? The only performing gov under pdp is akpabio and he is the only one they ve been using to campaign! Rubbish post!

Orji was a secondary school holder when he became governor of Abia state. However, the wish and aspiration of any soldier is to become a general. Buhari is a Nigerian Army General. we need competence not fake PHD that can not stand BSC of Unilag,UI,OAU,Uniben,UNN,ABU etc....
Did you listen to Buhari's interview with Amanpour on CNN couple of days ago? That was presidential, can you compare that with Jonathan's interview with the same Amanpour?. Jonathan has been an international disgrace and embarrassment to Nigeria, he should go away with his fake 'doctored' phd.

Bro, let's leave the other rail projects and focus on this Amaechi's light rain. Why am so pained is that this train is a 4km train, that will cost you 50 NAIRA to and fro. Rail starts from Isaac Boro Park (Mile One) and ends at Lagos. Yet its taking almost 6 years to build with an UNKNOWN completion date.

FOUR (44444) Kilometre of rail line?

Who indeed are the thieves?

Yet someone like jaybee3 and obiageli will swoon here to ask 'why is GEJ corrupt'? I tell you this, the wave of change that will blow off your skirts is doing press-up!

Yea especially dat obiagelli... I hope d wind blows her pant open too... yaga

Realdeals:
I hope you know its the same contractor CCECC thats is handling both the abuja and lagos rail line.

The scope of work which LASG have expended 160 billion naira on is not for the railway alone, the whole project is being handle by two contractor CCECC for the rail and Julius Berger for the road, beside a lot of building gave way to accommodate the ten lane road and the rail track and the rail track is a double standard gauge track.
The abuja rail track might cost less because they do not have to pay compensation to anybody and their is a long stretch of the track which is single standard gauge.

hw do u knw they dont pay compensation to anybody?
meanwhile people shoutng land is been compensated by owners, i can emphatically tell u AMEACHI dont compensate lanowners when he grabs their lands for any project. for ur mind na bush fg built d rail tracks, n nobody get those piece of lands abi?

SirShymexx:
Missy89,

Can you see ya yahoozee naij folks...the scam artists. That shiit is innate

I saw the thread and decided to check the background story, and do a quick research on the Ethiopian one (I got love to Ethiopia, man). Only to discover the fraud. Apparently, the rail was already there...and all they needed to do is track laying for standard modern gauge line. And these folks built that with billions. Then you've got Port Harcourt with 4km monorail gulping over 100 billion - ditto Lagos.

These folks are rogues!

If you stay in Abuja or have been to places like Kubwa in Abuja, you'll see the standard gauge tracks are entirely new, with government having to construct new bridges for vehicular movement here and there. I'd find time to take some pics and upload.

golddeejay:
is dat not supposed to be d budget for the whole project :>

No it is not. It is the amount spent so far.

TonySpike:


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!

But we are talking about what has been done and the earned value.
160B for 57km no end in sight....

Guy, write whatever u want, publish whatever list of Jonathan govt accomplishments, even if the list touches the sky, those ignoramuses and selfish people who want Jonathan out of Aso Rock cannot change. For wanting to bring a man like Buhari to rule Nigeria, HATRED for Jonathan and HATRED for some people he places in high position in his govt are in the details.

Those who want Buhari - the barcanistas and co. - have chosen the devil's alternative, nothing can change them unless Jonathan with his crew leaves Aso Rock.

It is not politics of achievements in Nigeria, it is crude tribal politics at play.

i fit suggest somethng though, if bUHARI really wants to be in aso rock come may29 gej fit employ am as his SHOE SHINER, I knw fulani's are so good at that since the dont wanna be schooled by these fresh air.

[s]APC wants state-of-art trains not old school locomotive ones like GEJ bought[/s]

STOP TALKING NONSENSE

1. GEJ's trains are diesel trains and slow, Fashola's trains are fast trains and uses Electricity
2. GEJ's train tracks to is on land, Fashola's train covers both land and Lagoon.

Vello:

What cheap score are u looking for here. Jaybee(GOD bless him) casually pointed you the way but ur stupid hatred for CHANGE wouldn't let you see it. Gej's built locomotive rail tracks traversing jungles and no man's land but Amaechi built his within cities and necessitated demolitions and compensations where necessary(litigations also inclusive). Same goes for Fashola but on a more grand scale. How much then, you tell me, is land sold in these places compared to jungle. Should you continue thinking with your stomach any further, I'll be left with on choice than conclude you've never been to Lagos not to mention seeing the rail tracks you're ranting about.

so is GEJ a governor or PRESIDENT?
SO u mean he should be linking towns together instead of states?
chai talk is reall cheap.
dnt try speakng in the open cos ur gulibillity will cause a serious uproar.

Matthewbriggs:


Jaybee if it was GEJ the first thing you would do is shout he is corrupt, he is clueless. You never give him the benefit of doubt like you do to you pseudo agents of change. etc ... here you are rushing to make excuses for clear case of corruption and gross mis-management of funds.

APC are building new rails why GEJ is renovating old rails

thev0ice1:


You were comparing plenty things at the same time and you've still not told me how many vehicles are included in the Kaduna-Abuja project. The Ethiopian version has 41.

Like i said in my very first post, i've not even seeing the lagos project so if you say they've not even bought a single iron rod, i can't disprove you. I argue based on facts i have my friend. You should know me by now. I gave you my verdict of Amechi's project because i've seeing it physically and can make very informed decisions about it.

Lagos project and Kaduna-Abuja project can't be compared in the manner you wish. they are very different projects

then TRAVEL n see somethings for yourself.
stop reading theNATION, ITS own by tinubu.
just travel n see whats going on in differnt states. go to lagos we hv two distinct cities, the mainland n the island. mainland is for the poor but their tax is being used in transforming the island. now is that fair?

thev0ice1:


Good on you bro. I'm a christian and i always remember Paul saying ''there is none righteous..no not one''

My take on this has always been in response to those who say it's better to stick with the devil we know (GEJ) than go for the angel we dont know (GMB).

My response is GMB isn't an angel, he's just another devil but we've spent 5 years with the devil called GEJ and 16 years with the coven called PDP, It's time to try another one.

-in LAGOS state we have APC, N lagos is the commercial centre of nigeria, with 3functional ports n numerous industries n cmpanies. yet we still hv people sleepng under d bridge, people still go to bed hungry, we hv more armed robbers n petty thieves running their package, i am not even talking of internet fraudsters, that s their headquarters. so when add all these groups of people u will now see 80percent of lagosians ar independent, fending for themselves either by crook or whatever.but its total revenues srpasses that f other countries, yet nothng to ameliorate the plight of citizens that paytaxes to the govt.

Please ppl should know what we are talking about here.A STANDARD GAUGE line as seen by GEJ administration is the convensional one we all see around in Nigeria.Old. Mono and light rail are tge modern rails been seen in the advanced countries.
Why are you ppl comparing Analog with digital?Mono and light rail are the way to go.So it is expected to be expensive.
@Op only display his ignorance and lack of adequate knowledge and information.

Please explain to us exactly how much it rally should cost to construct the metro rail and while you are at it, please give us the exact amount it const to buy land, adjudicate court cases, cost of labor and material, cost of rail cars, cost of over head bridges, cost of metro stations, cost of rail bridge over the lagoon, cost of IPPs to run the system, cost to construct a 26 klm 10 lane free way (= 10 x 26 klm = 260 klm) ...I'll stop here for now... Thanks in advance.

.. Your friend can help you with the answer too...

just like ur frnd helped u with d questions?

barcanista:
Do you know that the Amaechi and Fashola light rail are at an elevated altitude therefore propped by pillars which will undoubtedly increase it's cost?
Have you considered other logistics?

compensation? Shipping of materials? lands? etal?

How can you calculate based on KM only? Not saying that the project wasn't over-bloated though

how blind can u get! pls which part of the 4km at 150bn do u not understand? its daylight robbery! and Ameachi is always first to shout corruption at Jonathan's government. that 4km rail line is situated in a place dat has low traffic compared to oda areas in town that r begging for even fly over. after all has been said and done the conclusion of d matter is that
Ameachi is a thief!
