When I told them that they were celebrating mediocrity the other day over that overpriced monorail, these uncouth sons of Tinupoo started to wail like dying hyenas. To them it was tribalism. I am happy some other people are starting to say the truth. It's the same with the overdramatized second Niger bridge.. The total amount used to build that bridge at the last count is now chasing the amount used to build a bridge 3 times the length of this one in such places like China. Again, you can't mention this without being called names by staunch pro regime hirelings here. All these projects were started under Fashola, the same man who will go down in global history as having the record for spending the most money in constructing a kilometer of road! Make una dey help them dey chop money anyhow. Last last all man go dey alright.. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

owobokiri: Bangladesh has begun running the first metro rail service in its sprawling capital as authorities work to ease congestion that has throttled growth and inflamed tempers in the gridlocked metropolis. Dhaka is one of the world’s most densely populated cities, and daily commutes along its car-clogged roads are a source of constant frustration for its 22 million people. Local researchers say the capital’s economy loses upwards of $3bn each year in lost work time due to traffic jams, often worsened by regular street protests and monsoon rains. The elevated train network had been in development for nearly a decade and is slated to grow to more than 100 stations and six lines criss-crossing the city by 2030. Wednesday saw the start of operations on a section of the first line connecting an upscale neighbourhood on Dhaka’s periphery with the city centre. It was built at a cost of $2.8bn, largely funded by Japanese development funds. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/12/28/bangladesh-opens-first-metro-line-to-ease-dhakas-traffic?sf174083933=1 15 Likes 1 Share |

Does the Addis Ababa rail track involve sea crossing? is it running on electricity or is it a locomotive train? are the design of the stations identical? You should also tell us if the Ethiopian government payed compensation or not. 24 Likes 1 Share |

So, how’s Peter Obi now the messiah we need to change Nigeria? What exactly has changed about Peter Obi from 2013 to 2023?

owobokiri: The Bangladesh monorail was opened just a few days ago. The first phase of 21.2km was completed after about a decade of construction at a cost of $2.8billion. The project is being celebrated in Bangladesh as reported by AL Jazeera. Lagos is not a country like Bangladesh. Lagos constructed a 27km monorail crossing the sea and paying compensation for structures removed to get the right of way at a cost of $1.5billion. Yet, Owobokiri from Anambra is saying we should not celebrate what Lagos has achieved with the monorail because it is mediocre. He’s even threatening Lagosians that they will pay for the train with cocoa earnings. So tell us, what exactly are the landmark infrastructural projects in Anambra that are better and not mediocre like the Lagos monorail? Where is the Onitsha monorail that was initiated over a decade ago by Peter Obi? 26 Likes 2 Shares |

The day Tinubu will lose his grip over Lagos, Lagosians will weep at how much that man has embezzled from the state. A super rich state that keeps borrowing and taking bonds and keeps inflicting project costs. That's the same madness some people want to export to Aso Rock. God forbid! 1 Like 2 Shares |

seunmsg: You are always fast to defend these men because you are scared of the people taking away food from your table. Is it not the same Lagos where Fashola maintained a website for N78million and dug two boreholes for N139 million? All because Tinubu has his cut of Lagos money! https://www.google.com/amp/s/dailypost.ng/2015/08/24/fashola-spent-n139m-on-two-boreholes-lagos-state-government/%3famp=1 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/n78-million-for-website-included-other-services-fashola/amp/ Well, IMO, many Lagosians already like Sanwo-Olu and are likely to vote for him. But you see 2027 election, it will tell us if APC has really been winning elections in Lagos or rigging. BVAS and IRev will redefine the future of Lagos. |

Unfortunately, PDP can't compare new Lagos light rail with what they themselves built while in power because they had no legacy. Did PDP consider the crowded terrain upon which the rail is built including compensation and errecting bridges upon which the rail pass. It is a shame for PDP not being able to point to rail they built while in power in order to compare Lagos rail with it. Instead PDP were busy sharing money meant for infrastructure and security equipment 14 Likes 1 Share |

SmartPolician: Instead of addressing the issues I raised, you veered of and started ranting about some irrelevant issues. Did Tinubu also got a cut from Bangladesh monorail or why is it more expensive than Lagos monorail? If Lagos monorail is so bad and expensive, can you list the good and cheap infrastructural projects that rich states in the SE and SS have completed in the last ten years that are better than the Lagos monorail? If APC is bad for Lagos, what should we say about PDP that has been ruling most SE and SS states since 1999? When are we going to rescue Enugu, Abia, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa etc from PDP? 17 Likes 2 Shares |

That is the starting point before getting into your very logical argument about terrain and compensation. What is the source of $1.2 billion. Is that from any Nigerian newspaper or LASG?
