Finaly Naija is standing up and being counted by represting Momma Afrika in such a great way. I am an East African (Uganda) whom is pround of Fashola and many like him such as Y.K. Museveni. Africa is rising again. NASRADA is a great idea also.
@tech4156 Laugh at yourself, ever heard of diesel powered trains? They are still in use, even in great britain, just google 'intercity 125' and given Nigeria is the world's sixth largest oil exporter, im sure they wont have any trouble fueling those trains, DIMWIT
@nograviti lol laugh back at yourself, have you ever been to nigeria? go to petrol station and see how long the queues are then tell me how easy it will be for them to fuel trains. they export 95% of their oil, know your facts before trying to challenge someon on youtube who is far more intelligent than you are. FOOL
@tech4156 Been to Nigeria? Incidentally yes, my father runs companies in Nigeria and my mother is half Nigerian. Have you? Re Petrol queues? Back in the era of Babangida perhaps, but not now. I would say Lagos for example isnt there yet, but Gov Fashola is doing a pretty good job of it.
Anyway, Nigeria is now bringing two refineries online with Chinese investment and my point still stands you can use Diesel powered trains. Please keep you uninformed myopic view of Nigeria to yourself : )
@nograviti im in nigeria as i type this you imbocile and im overlloking a petrol station queue too. maybe i should upload video footage, but you still wont shut up then anyway. Also diesel is not just magically created out of thin air. Its created out of oil. go back to school you stupid white boy.
@tech4156 Who are you calling Oyinbo? If you are Nigerian, which I doubt you are? Why are you so quick to denigrate the efforts of Nigerians?
If you dont like it Mugu, go back to America or Europe and stop making money in Nigeria. I believe in Fashola and Nigeria, unlike yourself. Eko O ne baje O!!! : )
@nograviti Ah ah, i believe in fashola yes, but nigeria no. 1 man vs 1000 corrupt men, generations have fled naija to europe and the US bcoz of this. There are millionaires and billionaires there and 95% live in poverty.
@tech4156 But all it takes is one man. Even the discussion we are having is a sign of change. Would either of us even had hope for the future, under Babangida or Abacha? Even Europe has corrupt ministers, look at the expenses scandal in England or lobby groups in America. I think Fashola can inspire other state governors. Even the fact that the SW has voted for ACN comprehensively is a sign people are waking up. Thru democracy they are exercising their right to demand better leadership.
@nograviti maybe, but theres is soo much to do, we are in the 19th century in naija, no electricity, tiny transport, you have to remember nigeria is big, its not just the cities, but also the towns and villages encompassed. Without a doubt fashola is our gandhi, but we need to have all 36 states with fasholas in and him at the TOP. Also stop this contracts for chinese to bring their workers to nigeria, nigerians should be trained to build and runt the railways, roads, buses, airports, etc.
@tech4156 I dont disagree with anything you said in your last post. It will take will take time, but I believe Naija will get there. I agree the Chinese should not be bringing their workers to Nigeria, contracts should be setup so that 80% of the labour for a given project should be Indigenous Nigerians. Emiratis in Dubai have such contractual agreements enshrined in law. Mostly, I am waiting to see what Jonathan's power sector reforms will do, Obasanjo chopped billions last time round : )
@nograviti I dont know why nigerians didnt demand raji become president immediately, there were only a handful of us demanding this. Take the new housing bill for example; fashola enforced that greedy landlords cannot charge tennants for a year in advance rent. Now that is major common sense and very sensible. Just that small thing is huge to people, How many small things need doing in nigeria? thousands. in every sector
i like that idea very much, and it will for sure help moving around. All they have to do is make sure they contractor they hire know what they are doing, and not locals that is just there for the money ,and criminals do not start to highjack people.
AND WHILE YOU ARE ON IT TRY GETTIN STABLE CLEAN WATER AND ELECTRICY
And these new trains will be powered by what? Steam?
If there is no constant electricity in Nigeria then what are the trains for? Another pointless dreamy video? The main thing Nigeria needs is not building stream trains or skyscrapers. What they need is Constant electricity and Clean water first.
As a ghanaian i am really impressed- I have never been to Naija but i think i will visit this year. The one thing i cant stand about our city Accra is our open gutters. Your state governor is definately better than the useless twat we have for Accra.
I hope they're able to sustain it, If at all they should actualize this light rail transit in Lagos.Because sustenance is the Achilles heel in Nigeria
well you people really dont understand that improving starts somewhere.
if his mission was to bring clean water to for easy access to the people of lagos, you same mumu people will be saying that fashola needs to fix the roads and improve transit across lagos.
dont you know you have to start somewhere? anything someone does NIGERIANS MUST COMPLAIN. stop bitching, whining, and complaining and go do something if its bothering you that much.
u are right to an extent but looking at the problems facing lagosians is railway the next thing .Dunlop Michelin,pz industries are moving the head quaters and factory to Ghana due to cost odf doing business in nigeria,crime is at its highest despite 100 cars fashola got for the police,what electricity wld they use to power the trains.Their a re more fundamental problems that needs to be tackled first cleaning lagos I agree but not the rail,nigerians are suffering
One thing I don't do is generalize. When u start generalizing, you lose credibility. How many Nigerians are there? It would be much better if u said some Nigerians. Asking for the electricity issue be fixed is valid. They can say what ever they want, it is an opinion, provided "they" don't stand in front of progress on other fronts.
I wonder why people keep talking about electricity as if it's a state govt responsibility... For God sake, provision of electricity and mining of natural resources are responsibilities that re beyond the state govt and that's why fashola can't do much on it. duane2kelly, so u dont buy the idea of having a train line that will ease the burden on Lagos roads????
you are kinda simple but i do agree with the first 15 words of your nonsense, there is no finished modern railway in nigeria in 15 years since projects started yet china recently built a high speed rail in (4 YEARS) get your head out the sand.
..and which project you re talking about? We re all talking about Lagos alone...not Nigeria as a whole! Just because the people at the federal level couldnt get it right doesnt mean that no one else can get it right in the south. Right from day 1, Southern Nigeria has always trying to develop but the problem is the Fed Govt because those that re there are from the other side of the country and they wouldnt want the south to develop..that's why they dont let state control electricity.
And do you know that (even though train doesnt run in south), train runs in north? I was in Nigeria recently and I boarded train from Kaduna to Zaria. You know what that means? It's all a plan to suppress the dvpmt in the south! People like fashola can do the unthinkable if and improve the well being of the people if given a chance!
This is an absolute joke. Nigerians can not even provide their people with drinking water never mind a rail service :-) What about the electric to power the trains :-)
why is it a joke?4get abt d problem in lagos but its a very important step towards developing or rather makin lagos one of d best city in d world you are only jealous that an african city is slowly becoming a MEGA CITY.
I just hope all the plans works. I am tired of white washed projects that never cae through all these years. Hope Fashola will make a difference. Just hope so.
I laugh sometimes when i think about nigeria,that country has so many issues that i dont know were we going to statrt from... This is a nice project but what is the maintenace culture of nigeia .i was in nigeria a while ago and the third mainland bridge almost collapased and the bridge had to be close ddown for three months to carry out emergency work,no electricity,no food ,no jobs the roads a re terrible what wld the so called rail road be in the next ten years when gov.raji is gone
u guys love to run from the truth u guys canty even m,aintain roads provide elctricity ,water basic neccesities of life and u are talkin about a rail system u are really dumb
u are very ignorant and i wonder what is wrong with we nigerians ,the rail road would be built by a chinese company,not british not ameriacan chinese were they would import 80% of the work force on the project and call them expatrates and employ 20% nigerians to do the worst of the worst .tell me where the job is and the job for who. go to nigerian and see massive unemployment companies closing down and moving to Ghana.
Dunlop ,pz industries and michekin are all moving to Ghana wake up crack hd
u dont have to be done with me am at work making money now and replyin ur dumb comments, i do visit nigeria twice a year and as per niger economy i have been around nigeria b4 moving to the states 10 yrs ago by virtue of my mum being a retired AIG of police. I dont know it all but the fact is learn to speak the truth always and if u dont know shut the hell up.What hv i said that is not true do u have electricity back home was home for good 6 weeks in apapa their was no electricity for a whole
month and had to rely on generator 24 /7 the roads are bad so many kids are leavin universities back home no jobs.Never said the rail road was bad but fix this little problems first and everything else wld fall in place .What is the back bone of every developed country in the world energy.Wont cry and slam my head on the wall for u shuuu i have more pride and humility to do a thing like that .Like i said get a life and still waiting for ur dunb responce
I must say agree with duane2kelly. Nigerians like to get ahead of themselves on average without looking at the immediate priorities. Also I am not against foreigners coming to work or do business in Nigeria, but there must be a STRICT policy that is legal and business binding that a fair percentage of the workforce must be Nigerian. We need to crawl properly before we can walk. Nonetheless the railway is a good idea and kudos to Fashola. Stop hating and build ur nation if only with your mouth.
That is if the Nigerian will like to do the jobs. You see, we don't like to get our hands dirty, we like quick rich schemes. Not inventive so the foreigners has to be brought in. Everyone want to be the master and seat in the office. Not patrioctic enough to sacrifice for the development of the country, each one is in it for himselve
I agree and its quite a sad state of affairs and bad mentality most of us have. I hop ethat mindset changes. I don't know why we love to DESTROY but hate CREATIVITY!!!!. It will get better one day....
i think this is somrthing that will happen not a trick and my reason for saying this is jut like the EKO ATLANTIC IS GOING THROUGH CONSTRUCTION SO WILL THIS VERY SOON....I MEAN WE HAVE GOT THE MONEY SO LETS GET IT DONE
Lets wait till the project has been completed before we start singing fashola's praise. It could be a trick to get reelected. Lets wait and see like Bola Ige
i would just like the lagos state government tell us realisticlly in real time how long it will take for this project to be completed. because in my view ambitious projects has always being promised in lagos state and always being half materilised. good thing atleast there are traffic lights operational which is a state. but if anyone who has being to lagos recently please tell us what realistic differnce they have seen, bcos i havent seen one yet on u tube but promises
Because if it runs on city streets in the downtown core, it's going to take up extra road space and you might as well just call it a trolley because it's might need to share space with traffic. If it goes underground it saves a lot of space on the ground. Sure, underground is a bit expensive plus the majority of the line should be at-grade but if it's going to be at-grade through the city centre, the service could mess up the traffic and remove space for extra buildings and roads.
thats what i heard, i heard as changed and all those who sell stuff on the road side and railway tracks have been sent packing and also the over head bridges are now looking good and clean to. lovely wish fashola and lagos success from yankee...so when we come home we have less stress and feel like we live in a developed country.
logistically impossible-ish??? 20 million people live in Lagos and you are talking of a 1.2million; PR build another track above the the proposed plan and double up there is space. It is your only option, the floor is too crowed. Think out of the box. This idea is for free. Bankie
excuse me, but just where did you get that story that 'this project has failed' and where did you get the 'story' about corruption being the reason of the alleged failure? That's absolutely untrue.
are u even nigerian?? do your research before arguing with those who know the facts, and yes it was because of corruption, it is still being investigated.
excuse me again, but you obviously do not know what you're talking about. If you 'know' the facts, share them. Work has commenced on the Blue Line of the system in a contract issued to Julius Berger and financing secured. I'm aware that the Red Line contract has also gone through a tender process and a contractor has been selected. And not that it's any of your business, but I'm not just a Nigerian, but a Lagosian as well, by ancestry, birth and permanent residence!
I can even give you a status update on the stage of work for the Blue line. JB Plc is in the mobilization phase. They have moved to site and commenced soil sampling and testing on the route to ascertain final engineering design and selection of material, especially for overhead sections and bridges needed for the project. The project will be completed in 2 years.

Because if it runs on city streets in the downtown core, it's going to take up extra road space and you might as well just call it a trolley because it's might need to share space with traffic. If it goes underground it saves a lot of space on the ground. Sure, underground is a bit expensive plus the majority of the line should be at-grade but if it's going to be at-grade through the city centre, the service could mess up the traffic and remove space for extra buildings and roads.

logistically impossible-ish??? 20 million people live in Lagos and you are talking of a 1.2million; PR build another track above the the proposed plan and double up there is space. It is your only option, the floor is too crowed. Think out of the box. This idea is for free. Bankie

excuse me, but just where did you get that story that 'this project has failed' and where did you get the 'story' about corruption being the reason of the alleged failure? That's absolutely untrue.

are u even nigerian?? do your research before arguing with those who know the facts, and yes it was because of corruption, it is still being investigated.

excuse me again, but you obviously do not know what you're talking about. If you 'know' the facts, share them. Work has commenced on the Blue Line of the system in a contract issued to Julius Berger and financing secured. I'm aware that the Red Line contract has also gone through a tender process and a contractor has been selected. And not that it's any of your business, but I'm not just a Nigerian, but a Lagosian as well, by ancestry, birth and permanent residence!

I can even give you a status update on the stage of work for the Blue line. JB Plc is in the mobilization phase. They have moved to site and commenced soil sampling and testing on the route to ascertain final engineering design and selection of material, especially for overhead sections and bridges needed for the project. The project will be completed in 2 years.

tech4156 is a Nigerian hating Ghanaian, I think he's venting his frustration from centuries of subjugation at the hands of the Oyo kingdom.
