Lifting visa restrictions is not the most important thing for the country. Basic governance that guarantees security and enable people to earn a daily bread in peace will lead to even more prosperity.
Wrong attitude. Every step forward matters. Let's encourage government to take more steps towards improving the living conditions for all of us, not criticising all the time.
Stop this! He just made a point, you are just hypocritical. What does uae have to offer you? Why must you leave your country if it's habitable? Do you know people are really hungry and suffering as a result of subsidy removal? How does lifting a visa ban correct that? Think right
@MrTestimonyism Appreciate small steps regardless, even British and American citizens are leaving for work in Australia, Canada,Spain and even Dubai, its only insular minded people that feels you need to stay in your country.
@@Odua1 Absolutely but my reservations are not actualizing these projects alone but the poor maintenence and remedial culture we have due to vested and cronyistic interest. It detriments the sustainability and lifespans of these facilities or infrastructures and more developments .
Seeing how the Blue Line has made life easier for Lagosians, one cannot help but wonder how much relief and progress it would have made if established when it was first conceived before cancellation in 1985. And yes, in 1985 Muhammadu Buhari canceled the project at a loss of over $78 million to the state taxpayers. Yet, the same man came and promised "change" and we believed him.
Nigerians are too gullible, Buhari was the only person in Nigerian history to pull off a coup that overthrew a government where he ruled as a military leader then came back a few decades later to campaign as a civilian. Someone that should have been in jail already. O ma se o 😂
Oh a HUGEEE congratulations to Lagos State..I am very proud of all the Governors for this. Please maintenance and to the citizens, watch over your trains and redirect anyone trashing them up. You guys should treat it jealousy Please. Congratulations 🎊
This is indeed Awesome!! Great News Delivery Sister Adeola Fayehun, you have made my weekend all the way here in Kampala City, Uganda. We are indeed PROUD of you Nigeria for showing the way to Transform Mother Africa in Trade Infrastructure Development for Nation Building. Nkosi Sikelele Afrika. May God Bless Africa.
There is nothing to be proud of. The train supposedly electric is being pulled by a diesel locomotive. It has taken since 2008 to build 1 line with 5 stations. Ethiopia built 3 lines in 2 years.
Wow this is the best show this year lots of positive things on this show. Nigerians have lots of historical issues in the UAE 🇦🇪 I don't think it will be sudden but seeing that something is being done is a very big positive step 🙌
Thank you soooo much. First time commenting on your video. I should be insuring my sister, brothers and their wives with this affordable health insurance company. I live here in Beautiful Seattle Washington State. If anyone reading this post ever wanted to move to the States, please consider Seattle, the best city to make it in the best state in America. I have lived in four states and this one is the best and easy to make it here with jobs everywhere. Expensive, but you can make it if you’re willing to work very hard. Our true minimum wage here in Seattle area is above $20 per hour. Keep up with the good work my internet sister. Love your informative videos. God Bless.
It's great to finally see the trains up and running. I was in SS3 in FGC Lagos when the project started and never thought I'll see it get commissioned. Good one Lagos Government.
Whether visa lifted or not is not Nogerians problem because we have everything, make Nigeria a better countey for us and we are even better than any country if we really work well in this Nigeria. Other countries should be the one rushing to Nigeria if our leaders do well. Congratulations to Lagos State and all that made it work for this trains movement. Maintainance should come on board fast please.
Does any Kenyan city have an intra city metro system? I don't think so. Besides, we don't care what's going on in the Indian colony of Kenya. This video was about Lagos, Nigeria.
Yeah, i agree with you Adeola. Maintenance is key. China will service their trains daily. After a days run, the few hours before dawn, becomes serious human and computer servicing....this keeps them confident on their every day moves...
Not just maintaining the trains, but also the tracks and the structure the tracks are built on! Ensure Nigerian don't vandalise the tracks by removing the irons to sell or make pots and pans just like the do with the safety guard rails on the roads/highways.
Adeola 👏🏿 congrats 🎉🎉😊 to your little darling ❤️ much love and blessings 🙌🏿 continues to send your way. Be it Serious or Humorous over the years I've stayed to hear your comments of the happenings on the continent and on Nigeria proper keep up the good work and be forever blessed by family- good luck 😊
Happy to see the lagos metro in operation. Having worked in the the diaspora transport industry, and predominantly rail sector, I am keen to know what the operation and maintenance program for this rail line will look like, as well as the safety of commuters and their patronage. If the transport industry is managed effectively, this will boot the economy through networking communities to foster enhanced trading and infrastructural development, which creates more job opportunities. Someday, I hope to serve Nigerians in the capacity of a transport minister, with an extensive corporate and operational experience gained in the international transport industry
"Bro Victor, remember your girl, egbewa jade......"🥰🤣. Adeola, you are a scream!!! Victor, gbe omo wa j'ade ooooo. Well done Adeola! And Kudos to the Lagos State governor for this important and much needed milestone! Hello our beautiful baby!!
lovely episode and congratulations on ur baby hope it's not too late, and for lagos and Nigeria in general it shall be well in sha Allah, I believe in government of Tinubu
It took 15 years to construct the blue line of the train, but yet I'm supposed to believe that it will be just one additional year to construct the red line. Fantastic!!!
The red line has been under construction for some time and is there for all to see. It's actually almost completed. You guys just rush to type things sha.
@@jidebolarinwa697I'm not going to descend to your level by engaging in tribalism, so I'm just going to point out two things: 1. The word you're looking for is "are", not "area". 2. If you are delusional enough to think that the red line is going to be completed on time, after the blue line was 12 years late, just because it's "your brother" that's in power, then that's on you. A lot of Nigerians like to be deceived.
@@jidebolarinwa697 Jide, the word "you" should be written as "You" since it is the first word in a sentence. Also, replace the word "its" with "it's" to make your sentence easier to read. Given that I have a lot of Yoruba friends who write very well, I will not castigate your entire tribe as illiterate due to your poor writing.
Sister Adeola can you please send the information of the house building company online so that old people that want to go back to Nigeria finally can get access to negotiate with the company. Thanks for the opportunity.
That's a good one, is also high time Nigeria problems should be solved one after the other, if the only thing that the president can do within his first four years is to fix only Power (electricity) wonderful, the next four years pick another one believe me before 2035 or 2040 Nigeria will be a better place, we will be balance before then, than touching everything accomplishing zero thing.
Proud of Nigeria . A boom in Nigerian economy is immediately felt in Southern Cameroon cities because of the trans African road Writing from Southern Cameroon
Don't be proud of mediocrity and achievement of basic things we see in other parts of the world. It's this low expectations of ourselves that has kept us backward.
Congratulations Nigerians and Lagos state government. Please, Nigerians and Lagos state government should continue a good maintenance culture of the metro train services and infrastructures. Thank you Lagosians and governor for continued quality maintenance culture of our infrastructures.
@@TabsT-vy5jy the kind of terrorism he is referring to is not prevalent in Lagos , they are only prevalent in the northern part of Nigeria. Wat u will find in Lagos is petty thieves , and robbers which is normal in every big city in the world .
We thank Governor Sanwo-olu for the train but we also want to appeal to him to please carry out repair of our roads. From Lekki express road, Orile, Agege, third mainland bridge, in fact all roads in Lagos are in dismal state. We are looking forward to the fourth mainland bridge as promised by His Excellency but we need to move around. Some of the port holes can actually swallow a car. Lagosians are suffering and groaning under the removal of the fuel subsidy , must we also have to spend more in the mechanic workshops. Please Governor, take care of our assets, Lagos is now a big slum.
why are we celebrating .. UK has had underground train for more than 200 years and other countries more than 100 years ago. And you are right Adeola this should be in all states to Nigeria and also linked to the Airports. Go to some Arab countries who are not as old as UK or the USA and they have metro trains i.e. Dubai. It is a shame that Nigeria is still behind
Ehen I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared a while ago so it was because of this lovely boy. Chaii but you're not fair though because people me like will still love watching you even with the heavy load😅😅😅😂😂
What is lost in the Lagos Blue rail lines is the fact that this is over 40 yrs late. Lateef Jakande started the program before Buhari destroyed/cancelled it in '83. Buhari did more damage to Nigeria like no one can imagine. There is little reason to jubilate.
There is a reason to jubilate. What you described was a blockade of an infrastructural project but the vision did not die and was not defeated. It was accomplished in our lifetime despite the first and second coming of the Nigerian leaders who cancelled it.
Nothing was started in 1983, y'all should stop lying cos it was just on paper and the contract was cancelled. Moreover it was a different design and route..The Blue line rail was officially started in 2007 okay.
Let's learn to appreciate the government at once. This is good job from Mr President on UAE and the state governor. The people that stays in UAE will appreciate what Tinubu did for those who are staying and working in DUBAI. But for those who haven't travelled out of the country will not know what's on ground and be saying against the leadership of Nigeria. Thank you, Mr. President and Mr. Sanwolu .
When you are told how much it cost to build this rail and how much that was stolen, you will stop rejoicing and shade tears. Countries have used this train for one hundred years now. In zoo it is a big thing! It will not be well Nigerian leaders.
@bobjee7668, you are a Nigerian that you are a disgrace to our country, you are suppose to be promoting your country but you behave like the same evil leader's!!!
@@MajorrBisonwho kept you in the third world country? Them stamp you for there? How people wey dey first take dey there? Continue defending mediocrity, corruption and all shades of evil
Mushin is a mess , ikotun is a mess , ejigbo roads are atrocious and ijeshatedo is car damaging why are we building trains when roads in almost every where on mainland is just incredibly dangerous and bad. , gutters are overflowing as soon as it rains in Nigeria that has a raining seasons
How on earth does a 8km train project takes 15 yrs to complete 😂😂😂😂. In South Africa the Gautrain speed train didn’t take this long and it runs for 57km between Johannesburg and Pretoria. The so called “Giant of Africa” is moving at a snail’s pace.
Governor Jankande conceived the idea and even began securing space for it but General Buhari canceled it after overthrowing the Government of Alhaji Shehu Shagari. Congratulations to the state government. It's an iconic venture that we are all are proud of. Other states should copy from Lagos state. If state governors and their cronies would stop stealing public funds, a lot would have been done to develop the country.
I have told us from the East that the Federal Govt or getting Biafra is not the problem but our so called Eastern Governors who has refused to develop the Eastern States with all the allocations given to them.Congratulations to Lagos.
All the other states should relocate their state Allocations to Lagos state since they can't do anything meaningful for their state. it is shameful that only Lagos is working in Nigeria. God keep Lagos working. Eko oni baje ooo
If all states relinquish their allocations to Lagos, is Lagos robust enough to handle the influx of migrants from the other 35 states that will be plunged into anarchy?
As an urban & regional development planner, I feel two sad mistakes were made building this metroline system, based on the route approved for this project. One is, why is CMS central business district the final destination on the island and not Leventis CBD? The beautiful water front landscape of CMS at the marina was sadly, deliberately destroyed to make way for this project which then makes me wonder what highly trained, experienced engineer will design and build the high concrete structures which elevates the heavy metroline train, side by side bridges carrying vehicles with very little space separating the two? Is he not aware of the vibrational laws of motion in physics as it relates to the pull between two objects that are close to each other? The second is, why the 3rd mainland bridge water front route from the Osborne foreshore area, was not considered as an alternative ideal route for island-mainland to ease the heavy passenger traffic in Lagos? From here, one can extend it further towards Anthony central business district on the mainland which links major areas like Ikeja, kosofe, surulere etc. This two routes, would have solved most of the heavy passenger and vehicle traffic problems Lagos is known for and still retain her beautiful city landscape. I may be wrong, no one is perfect but these are my thoughts. 🤔🙄
These are interesting thoughts! I am no urban development planner but I assume the plan is to get the trains separated from the road, to get as many people off the road so the road won’t be as congested, hence all the alternative routes.
