My understanding is that little or no work has been done on the Red Line. So, all aspects of this project (infrastructure, rolling stock, and management) should be farmed out on PPP basis. Let the private sector handle it, as it does not look like the State can afford to put the cost of this project on its balance sheet right now.

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

Im eating, reading, typing, got music in my ears, heading to meeting in a few mins, need to send email, need to call my love and blow kiss...again, i need water, i should skip respond to this rail thingy but i cant cause when i saw it i was in a train snaking through subterranean tunnels....so i rearranged to do list and put on my thinking hat....


Im not a social critic but I would recommend that as a first rule we create a meaningful rating system for producing performance stats and scoring for administrators...that way we cn rate on big projects like this. Venting on a waste of public resource do us no good

The rail system is proposed as a solution to ease Lagos traffic. Why is Lagos traffic this bad? Due to population explosion. Why are there so many people in Lagos? Due to its relative modernity and urban profile. So will the addition of this rail system increase that profile and appeal? Yes. What can be expected? No one in Lagos will leave but more people will troop in to experience the new glamor and make the population problem worse. Will this situation ease Lagos traffic? No, it will worsen it.


Sustainability. Our mindset, habits and reactions to infrastructure and environment has not improved and we still respond to our environment in a stand-offish manner as consumers instead of owners. So we must be sincere with ourselves. After the whites passed administration of Nigerian Railway Corporation to us we ran it to the ground. Same with Apapa ports. Same with airline. We can't maintain roads, can't maintain buildings, we do not maintain drainage and sewer, when whites ran this country our water pipes flowed...not any more, we can't even generate and distribute electiricity successfully and consistently. So what public infrastructure do we maintain in our society? None! Now we are adding another burden to the public treasury.

Are we matured to handle the responsibility that comes with owning, operating and sustaining a rail transport system?

We can't even build a railway or maintain consistent electricity, yet Nigeria wants to dabble into nuclear energy abi na nuclear bomb.

DeLaRue:



You're correct.

Everytime I drive through that tolled part of the Lekki - Epe road, I am impressed by the sweeping beauty and quality of the road (No doubt someone will soon attack me for being a wicked capitalist who wants to suck the citizens dry of their money )

And I am sure, the involvement of the private sector (PPP) arrangement has a lot to do with that quality. State governments simply do not deliver such quality.

For people living in Lagost, it's a choice between waiting years and in some cases decades for a free-to-use international - standard project paid for by the State to come to fruition or allowing the private sector to build it in a fraction of the time and charge users for it. Lagosians are free to make their choice.

My work gives me some insight into what is going on, and I have no doubt that:


Lagos State alone cannot fund the infrastruture requirement of the State.

[b]No. 8 – Ola Mummy Food Canteen Bodija Ojurin
This should be one of the well hyped restaurants in Ibadan. My first experience was when a friend came from Lagos to eat there. I wondered what was special so I followed him and I knew exactly why.
The vegetables and oily soup looked tantalizing. The assorted meat from a wide selection of wildlife animals were seductively displayed in one of those wide aperin pots permanently on woodfire. As if that wasn’t enough, the pounded yam was well pounded and amala was well done. No wonder people from all works of life regularly park all kinds of cars – from the latest Ford Explorer to the oldest Keke NAPEP at the restaurant. IyaIod.e,9j.acrip and Rilwayne001Do you agree with this list?

I don't like going to bukas/restaurant, but when I was in secondary school, I used to eat at Ola mummy and I can tell that her food is really good.

I love the Yoruba cartoon......esp because the woman is the rescuer/strong warrior.

I hope pe nigba ti ma fi bi omo mi, there'd be lots of Yoruba kids cartoons

Nice links....there's hope and potentials for Yorubaland.
