I am surprised with the way this bridge is being built. I thought the pillars, columns, jackets or whatever you chose to call it would have been completely in place before the load to be supported (bridge surface and tracks) is installed? Any offshore structural guys in the house to give their tupence?

riddler4real:


Okay I will. That's a promise. In fact I will be relocating back to naija to push my projects www.naifizzy.com and www.naijabizsearch.com

Because of the greater potentials in naija than in dubai....

Dubai is just a good place to work and get cash... u go work eh! Like say tomorrow no dey....if u unwise u could spend all ur cash having a good time.... cause they are so many ways to jolly... but if u are wise u save n invest.....like me...

riddler4real:


Ever wondered why the British PM said Nigeria is fantastically corrupt?
And your president concurred?

I believe you know the answer....

So now tell me which lagoon the Lagos state govt is building rail tracks on?or the swampy areas in question? I believer you have d details.....

misanho:
Our country, Nigeria, has a country risk ratings that is way higher and this have always led to a higher cost of infrastructural and developmental project within our shores, and example is the GTL plant in escravos - Nigeria (about $10B) which almost 4 times the Qatar GTL plant (about $2B) and off course the 'Lagas light rail project. This high risk rate is as a result of the country's Political instability, falling commodity prices, central-bank policy uncertainties and conflict were the principal negative risk factors for investors to contemplate at the turn of the year, also are the investment risk of a country, such as risk of default on a bond, risk of losing direct investment, risk to global business relations alongside economic performance/projections, structural assessment, debt and Credit Ratings, access to bank finance, access to capital markets, etc.

Well, with all these at play, would you as a foreign contractor not protect your company, machines/equipment, staff, finances, and all forms of investments etc with more and higher insurances, security, etc? Lol

aresa:



Obviously, the folks involved are engineers, they know what they are doing and construction is ongoing.

I really don't see your point.

adanny01:


It seems the ignorant part of you does not want to make as little research as it will help you. Google is a very inportant tool that i recommend you use often before posting on any social media.

The screen shot below shows that the Lagos monorail passes not only the Lagos Lagoon, it also passes another water body between Mile 2 and Festac

The second picture is defined as an "underground high level track over water".

Lagos Metro Rail terminates at the Marina so please tell us exactly how the Metro Rail from Iganmu gets to the Marina on Lagos Island?

Fly in the sky?

Go under water?

Do Abrakadabra and magically disappear from Iganmu and show up on the island?

See how clueless, shallow and ignorant you sound?

You lived in Dubai, but still made ignoran, illogical and thoughtless comparisons with Lagos.

The fact that you lived in Dubai means Lagos state in Nigerian is a country like Dubai with sovereign wealth and oil wealth like Dubai?

Or that it didn't take Dubai 8years to compete their metro rail?

Or that Lagos state metro is morre intense and comprehensive than ordinary metro in Dubai?

Or did Dubai built 54km expressway with their metro?

Did they build 5km metro bridge over any lagoon in Dubai like Lagos is doing?

Was any dedicated power plant built for the metro in Dubai?

Did they pay the same compensations and settlement over lands and houses in congested area where people live against the desert in Dubai?

Is Dubai 's budget as a sovereign country the same like an ordinary state in Nigeria?

Is rhe price of labor, manpower, tools and equipment the same in Dubai?

Is shipping cost to transport construction materials the same in Dubai.



The fact that you lived in Dubai or lied about living in Dubai doesn't mean you don't sound ignorant.


If you are going to compare in any way shaoe or form,common sense dictates that you articulate clearly relevant facts and what each project involves and the cost and variables associated with both projects,

It is even pointless , silly and redundant to compare 2 totally different projects in totally different country, totally different environment and wealth..

Very unintelligent on your part and the OP too.

Kai kai kai kai SMH!

Do you actually mean it is more expensive to build in the desert than over the Lagos lagoon? How the hell did you arrive on that?

Like some said, its either some of you are plain mischievious or completely ignorant. May be high on something.

For those of us who know, its pointless to compare projects even if their scope is exactly the same. Even a pot of stew is not worth the same thing in different parts of Naija talk more of another country.

I worked on a trasnmission line project in Akwa Ibom, the cost of the project was just over N2billion while compensation of property and land owners was N6billion. If the same line were to be constrcuted in Sokoto, the cost might have still been less than N3billion but over N8billion in Akwa ibom. Take that project to lagos metro and it might become N30billion, how can one compare.

I was gonna go soft on ur silly arse but u just made me take off my gloves.... now face my bare knuckles u whimp....

I know sycophants like u, whose integrity cost far less than a subsidised fairly used menstrual pad with stale blood on it from an HIV infected patient....

There is a less than 100 meters rail bridge which is over the lagoon and the rest of the rail track is laid just by the lagoon side on solid ground. Now tell me who is the ignoramus... you rant of a swine....

riddler4real:


Correction it is not a mono rail olodo..... and the rail tracks is not on the lagoon but on solid ground by the lagoon. Except the less than 100 meters rail bridge which is across the lagoon.....

Safari29:


Olodo, have u ever been to marina before that rail will be on water from lagos lagoon till the last bustop. we already have road close towards the end of land there, besides that side of marina were sandfilled. Olodo

adanny01:


Oh, one olodo to another, i actually thought you were the dumbest and would'nt notice the difference otherwise i should have said the obvious or apologise the typo as meaning metro.

Oh congratulations! You've start making some useful research. However, your ignorance has either over shadowed your knowledge or you are not ready to make useful or adequate research thereby subjecting yourself to such wrong intuition.

I dont know where or how you got that picture, as an olodo, i would have known that a map such as that should have a scale with which to properly make an estimate of distances in ground. Certainly a crossing of the lagoon cannot be 100m if you had an idea of the size of the lagoon itself or scale of the map from such a small picture. Even as the lagoon is well over 500km from my area of daily commute, i know that the lagoon at its longest side is about 50km and so dealing with such body of water, 100m is not near what is represented in the map you shared. You should have known that "less than 100 meters rail bridge" is actually over 1km. Precisely, 1250m. 1150m over your intuitive "less than 100m". You even had to less it.

I am such an olodo! The picture of the bridge in construction is already well over "100m".

riddler4real:


Haven't you heard. Nigeria is FANTASTICALLY CORRUPT even your President admitted it.....case closed. For every 1billion they give out they pocket 3 billion

adanny01:


Just like you cannot estimate distances, you certainly cannot understand project costing or things that makes up the cost of a project of such magnitude. I would be running a fools errand if i decide to tell you some things even when you obviously are not interest to learn.

riddler4real:


It was a typo and I have corrected it. But you out of ur self profound wisdom called it a mono rail... You are disillusioned from reality....

Your pay masters should know about this... You need t be replaced ASAP with a more competent sycophant..

Olodo

adanny01:


Cant be typo. You wrote that more than once on two different post. You are on you ignorant own.

Lagos Light Rail Line is too costly compare to a similar project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia .

Please see below :


Addis Ababa Light Rail Project,Span : 34Km. Cost : $475m
number of Stations : 39
Project Tenure : 2011 - 2015

Status : The project is already completed and running effectively .

Lagos Light Rail project

Span : 27km
Cost : $1.2Bn
number of Stations : 13
project Tenure : 2010 till date
Status : not completed

Is the new 4th mainland bridge worth the cost?

riddler4real:


Olodo... I copied and paste.... Was in traffic and it wasnt easy driving and chatting... Now I am home and I can engage you one on one... So if it's okay we can have an intelligent discourse over this with facts and figures.....

Your call

Except the less than 100 meters rail bridge which is across the lagoon.....

There is a less than 100 meters rail bridge which is over the lagoon and the rest of the rail track is laid just by the lagoon side on solid ground.

Now let me educate you dumber.. Dubai is not a country.. It is a state (Emirate) Not a country. The country you are referring to is UAE... If you dont know the meaning it is... United Arab Emirate. The capital is Abu Dhabi and Dubai is the Largest City....

You no get sense at all..... You just a silly rant opening your mouth because you have sold your conscience for a bowl of fungal infested porridge...
Ignoramus

The Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) is a sovereign wealth fund owned by the government of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Established in May 2006 with the transfer of the government's portfolio of investments from The Department of Finance's Investment Division, its role is to supervise the government's investment portfolio while adding value

if u are familiar with that side marina bro, u would realise building rail bridge along that line cannot be on land. and according to ur pix even the bridge is very close to the end of the land, there are bridge and roads already around that side also.
