When will Ambode commission the Lagos light rail after 18 years of supposedly progressive administrations and billions of dollars in allocation, IGR and loans wasted and stolen?
Ambode, when?

Village boy, if you see the scale of the Lagos lightrail and ongoing work, you'll shut up because its one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken in Nigeria.

....and please try not to spread you Biafran beer palour jists here since an unenlightened oaf like you has no understanding of what's going on in Lagos, its beyond you.

Do you think everyone here is in Onitsha with you

Nonsense onitsha boy thinking he has an idea on what's going on in lagos.

Where is Ameachi's monorail?

You mean River's state monorail?.... I think the governir of Rivers state should be able to answer this question.

TheAngry1:


See this Otondo! Outside Lagos, Ogun state is the most industrialised in the country; you think development is about skyscrappers and dust-stained four storey buildings that litter Onitsha?

Oyo and Osun states ares vibrant peaceful and focusing on educational development of their people. Even your own people dread the southeast like a plague, that is why they are helping to 'develop' other people's state.

Did you say Oyo and Osun are focusing on educational development? You must be living in the outer space to make this useless assertion.
Wake me up when Osun comes out as one of the top 10 states whether in Primary 6 entrance exam, WAEC, NECO or JAMB.

That of Lagos is more complex and much larger than this project so it should take longer

So why is the same light rail in Addis Ababa working after three years of construction with less money?
Why did Ambode say it would be ready after 18 months in 2015 despite billions of dollars spent since 2010?

Why I reached out to Igbo voters –Ambode, Lagos APC governorship candidate
APRIL 4, 2015

.
When is the light rail going to be delivered, the project seems to be going on for years?

I just said it, it’s being funded by Lagos State and the Federal Government support is not there. But I believe strongly that we will create a financial restructuring that will allow us to deliver that light rail within the next 18 months.

Abarie mmong buru onu.

How you come vex reach like that for that ogidigborigbo? Looooool

And some in Port Harcourt see nothing good and positive about a monorail project...Nigeria and political sentiments,our downfall.

How many times will they commission this monorail project?

Pls ask them

And some states are yet to commission wheel barrow

which one be village Ibadan abi oshogbo

victorDanladi:
Na GEJ supposed commission this thing

Is Otueke far from where you are?

Rikidony:
Rubbish. Ayade the worst Cross River State governor ever, commissioning a Monorail that was 97% completed by Imoke.

dude decide to commission a project that have been in service for close to 7month.

pls ag Osinbajo ask him about the Super Highway and the Bakassi port project

At least he continued and completed it. What about "Wike'd" that is as ignorant and foolish in his Amaechi-war and could not see the post project value of Mono rail and abandoned the one started by Amaechi

icedfire:
How many times will they commission this monorail project?

Hahaha!It is usual for politically motivated projects to be "commissined" several times. Naija politicians are fraudster -whether from north, Sw, Sw or Se they are the same.

jefy:

Rivers State people and indeed the entire Niger Delta region are our own worst enemy.


They are so myopic and full of hate for any project that does not put money in their pockets. Don't be shocked to find that some of the people here commending this mickey mouse project are the same people that criticised Amaechi's Monorail project which is a more feasible and beneficial project compared to this.

When comparing two projects it would be good to present the facts and peculiarity of both projects.

Example; What is the length and capacity of both projects.

What terrain do both projects have to go through.

Lagos rail project has to find a route because none was provided for it initially, is this the same for the Adidis Ababa rail or did they already have a route marked down for it from before the project.

Lagos States rail project is such an ambitious project in Nigeria that only the third mainland bridge project compares in scale and complexity.

My brother I no knw oh. When the cluelessness of the central govt spread to state, this is what we see

TheAngry1:
Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom silently doing what the 5 states of the Southeast cannot do. All they know how do do is complain and sulk like overfed flat-headed babies. Watch out, very soon now Chinedu will come here and say Calabar is Biafra...nonsense!

Oga... I stay in Calabar.... Calabar is living in past glory.... d state is wack

smartty68:

Cross River State is silently dying Bro. I'm a Cross Riverian. No development, no salaries, the State is on stand still, dirties State so far since Ayade took over.

So please get your facts right. Thanks

Igbos are liars

calabar we all know is the cleaness state in Nigeria


Igbos are haters

The Addis Ababa light rail project started from scratch and similarly on raised platform.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addis_Ababa_Light_Rail


It was not only done within FOUR years of being started, it was also done by the same Chinese for a fraction of the billions of dollars so far spent by the APC duo of Fashola and Ambode under the auspices of their greedy godfather, Tinubu.
BTW, do you know why deprived citizens are reluctant to make their leaders accountable to them? Could it be something similar to the Stockholm syndrome?

I am not against accountability.. And Stockholm syndrome does not even begin to apply here at all.

I am coming purely from an engineering standpoint. Just because two buildings look alike does not mean they both had the same engineering and design challenges in their pre-engineering stage.

So like I asked, what's the length of the Adis Ababa rail and what is that of Lagos.

When I asked about the provisions, I am speaking of the challenges Amaechi faced with the Port Harcourt Monorail project which was not provided for in the master plan of the city and thus they had to breakdown existing structures and pay a ton in compensation for same just to get the right access. I believe Lagos has had to face similar challenges with theirs as well including having to redesign, adjust and reconstruct entire highways and all. This does not even begin to factor in the cost of those negotiations and legal gymnastics as most of those roads are Federal Roads and States can't alter them without consent.

What about the EIA scope of both projects? I know Lagos State would have had to do some extensive EIA survey especially as theirs runs through Water and several points.

Basically, we must first find the similarities and differences between both projects and then outline the different constraints both projects have had to face to come to a proper comparison let's we end up comparing apples and oranges.

Another factor that can affect a project is Government stability and economy. Most foreign Contractors in their pricing make adjustments for anticipated issues that may arise in this regard. Example, between the time the Lagos rail project was started and today, the variation and stability of our currency has been quite unstable which may even have already given rise to variations in the Contract price. Not forgetting the complications too that change in Government brings as well.

In conclusion, you need to have your facts to hand before making such comparisons.

Sorry, i don't talk to monkeys

Mono rail that have zero impact on the life of the masses of cross river state. 900m from Tinapa to the ICC building and strictly for tinapa residents who have business at the ICC. Residents that do not exist at present. After this commissioning the mono rail will sit idle because there are no passengers. It is a shame that some cross riverians are applauding this project. Guess these are the one that hardly visited home ion the past 20 years. See image below:
