Firefire:


The first two lines being developed are the Red Line and the Blue Line.

The project which was awarded for $1.5 billion to China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) in 2009, began with the simultaneous construction of the Red and Blue Lines.

That cost was in 2009, it has be adjusted severally by Fashola before leaving... I can post the latest value if you like ?

You are in opposition simply for your advantage , it is not to further the Yoruba[ cause...

I live in a city where IT HAPPENS, & that happens is "share the money" & making their associates & cronies stupendously rich in quick time....

Bala Mohd's years in FCT was only to deliver dividends of democracy to mama piss' coffers... any development you see is solely restricted to the city centre..

Take a tour around the mega million estates & suburbs before getting on a soap box to denigrate anyone...

The bolded is insincere & we both know it...

Kindly let us restrict all PARTISAN views to the numerous partisan boards

Here, let's keep it purely as an avenue to advance the yoruba tribe's culture, values & progress.. Thx.


@ nduchuks ,

I'm 150% convinced there is not a drop of yoruba blood coursing through your veins..

IyaIode:

Simultaneous? Is anything happening on the red line

IlekeHD:
modath2 ke?

modath2:


Bot has banned mo !

I can't stop referring to you as anti ooo, it's my parents' fault, making it instinctive to call anyone that "sounds" matured as anti & booda....

cc: Aareonakakanfo, iyalode, zimoni et al,

Pls do not let us make this a partisan thread, let's keep it the way it has always been....

None of this parties are in bizness for the sake of the common man but some are better than some...

IyaIode:

BRT will get to badagry

Aareonakakanfo:




I think you guys are mixing it up.Out of those 10 lanes, i believe 2 are dedicated to rail.Still need to confirm though


Firefire while i don't believe they can complete it before 2016,I can tell you're viewing the issue from a party perspective.Abeg we need to quit this PDP/APC nonsense for the betterment of Yorubaland

Tobimillar this thread is not for Yorubas only and laudate is our vvvery good friend here infact he/she's a VIP.Even romanis can come in as long as they don't inundate the thread with their stvp!dity

DeLaRue:
My first contribution to this thread..and I agree with those who have observed that the contributor 'FireFire' appears more interested in seeeing things from a party political (PDP) perspective rather than putting 'Yoruba' first.

Now he has even extended the thing to Tinubu and Funsho Williams when there's absolutely no connection with the topic in hand.

As soon as more of his like on both PDP and APC sides decend on this thread, it's going to be downhill from here on.

Aareonakakanfo:



The 8 lane from Mile2-Badagry is part of it.I think two lanes are supposed to be for trains.Please correct me if i'm wrong

superstar1:


The 2 rail lines are the project of Lagos State Govt.

The road lanes are being done by Ecowas. It is meant to be a regional super highway for west Africa. I have not been able to understand where Lagos road construction stops and where that of Ecowas starts.

Oro yi oo ti e wa ye mi mo. Egbon mi abeg lets leave that one aside till those who know about it help us out

Firefire:


You need to study the trend of discussion before jumping into unnecessary conclusion.

When you say party perspective, who are the party representing, are they not representing the masses ?

And moreover, we are not even mentioning any party here.

So be guided accordingly.

DeLaRue:
Incidentally, one of my clients is involved in efforts to inject new life into one of the lines being discussed, and I was involved in high level communication with a particular foreign investor weeks ago.


Let me put it this way:


Those expecting Ambode to be firing on all cylinders and in all directions concerning the various lines proposed/initiated by Fashola just don't understand.

First, Lagos State simply does not have the funds to finance all these major projects (road and rail) started by Fashola.

Second, Lagos State is pretty loaded on debt already, so additional substantial debt financing is not seen as atractive at this point.

Thirdly, I may be wrong, but it does seem that Fashola embarked on too many of these big ticket projects at the same time.

Fourthly, it is ineveitable that one or the other of these projects will end up in PPP with the private sector stepping in.

Finally, with the exception of a couple or so rail lines, many of the other lines proposed by Fashola (yellow, greenline or what else), will not happen. That's the reality.

zimoni:


You are a card carrying member of a political party. Therefore, whatever you post here will be viewed from party angle.

In my own opinion, that project should have been completed by now. The projects completed so far do not correspond with the IGR generated yearly, monthly allocation from FG and debt accrued. FACT.

Anyway, let me quit discussing Lagos. I'm now a Lagosian and I have never lived there.

Wish Lagosians best of luck.

We can't afford to derail this thread, there's no way we will discuss some issues without mentioning names. So, we minimize the discussion for the purpose of this thread.

God Bless Yorubaland.

Development of Yorubaland is non-negotiable.

It is well.

1. When was the project awarded? (I think 1 year is unrealistic)

2. What does a light rail need to perform? To be maintained? Do we have those resourced in abundance? If not, how much will it cost the Lagos-Ogun-Oyo to get them?

3. How much will it cost us to operate them in Lagos?

4. Is this an underground or surface light rail?

IyaIode:

I think the noise about the lekki epe road toll has killed PPP in this state. This is the reason why i hate the pdp (sorry for going political) and those fla.theads, we shouldn't how those fools kill our progress.

Lagos is the massive and viable to expect government to do everything

Firefire:


All the light rail projects was proposed to run on PPP...

AS Nigeria’s business headquarters, the Southwest is expected to lead other regions in the quest to develop Nigeria through massive investment in infrastructure

He pointed out that the rail project was being implemented under a public and private partnership. The state is building the infrastructure while the private sector will provide the rolling stock and management.

IyaIode:

From what i have seen on ground, i don't think the rail is taking any part of the 10 lanes. The rails actually run in the middle, between both sides of the 5

Firefire:


I can take you on another expository thread on your thoughts about the Leki/Epe toll / PPP and the corresponding cost attributed to the project.

No matter what, we can only move our region forward when we are set to ask instructive questions on accountability / stewardship reports from our Yoruba leaders.

Irorun igi, o ni irorun eiye.

Shalom!
