    Thank you for this video showing the development of Nigeria, that we rarely see in the media. I left Lagos in 1989 and can see various places I used to go to...brings back good memories! ❤

    Much as this is great news, our problem is our horrendous maintenance culture. I often prefer to see the glass half full, but i, like a lot of Nigerians, have seen this happen time and time again. I'll bet (and i do hope this doesn't end up being the case) that the blue rail infrastructure will look very degraded a decade or two from now. It's a sad but honest commentary. Until Nigerians change how they treat public infrastructure, our joys at novel achievements such as this, will always be shortlived.

    Well done Lagos.
    Watching from London.
    It was interesting seeing the views from the train and it brought back memories of my Molue travelling days in the 80’s (Yes I’m that old).
    I also watched this video with a twinge of sadness at realisation how much our leaders have failed us.
    Yes, this is a remarkable project but the bitter truth is it’s too late in coming and it’s very painful to watch how things are still at this elementary stage in 2023!
    The great Jakande of UPN back in 1979 had planned a similar Metro line before it got truncated by the Buhari coup of 1984.
    The corrupt thieving NPN federal government led by Shagari contributed to the failure of the project before the military annihilation.
    How things would have been much different if Awolowo’s UPN was at the helm of affairs.
    Nigerians need to know that’s when we lost our chance to become today in the leagues of Dubai and Singapore which hardly existed as they are today.
    Let’s be honest you waiting over 90 minutes just for the train to arrive is nothing to celebrate about in a city the size of Lagos.

    You have done a huge service to the Lagos State Transportation System. I love the way you present the clip and your narration fits the video perfectly. Wow! Lagos has changed from the time I was there 4 decades ago. Thank you for this wonderful documentary about the development going on in Lagos. The metro line includes my youth area Marina and Balogun where we used to play in those days. Your clip is highly motivated and encouraged me personally to go back home and help out. Thank you and Jah bless. Greetings from Windy City in the U.S.

    They don't have to include toilets in the coaches. People are going to abuse it, and the authorities will not be able to maintain it. There is nowhere in the world where intracity trains are run with toilets; not in London, not in Manchester, not in Barcelona. For all these places I have used the Metro.

    • @gidistays

      I don’t think it is not bad if we choose to improve on existing innovations and what is achievable in other parts of the world. As a student of regional planning l, public infrastructure ought to have such infrastructure like rest room regardless of the maintenance culture that’s is achievable here. But who says we cannot improve on that. I think the Philippines 🇵🇭 have such too. God Bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

    While I congratulate the Lagos State Government on the Metroline initiative, the current train Time Table needs be reversed. The train should start running from Mile 2 (which is more residential) from 7am to Marina (which is predominantly commercial) than is presently the case. More people living at Mile 2, Orile, etc go to work at Marina and VI early in the morning.

    Nigeria & Africa must allow the filming in public like other countries without people harrasing you. In Kenya they have legalized content creators to film around the cities to show to the world. It should be legal as long as you are not putting the camera right infront of people's faces in no less that 1 meter. Although most people will still try to stop you based on their criminal activities.

      Hi Shanice, thanks for your comment. I think 80% of things we use in our everyday life is made (partially) in China lol! Our phones, kitchen appliances, tv’s, laptops, airconditioners. Even the ‘luxury’ brands that claim their items are made in Europe for example… sometimes most of the process is being done in China and then they only add the finishing touches in Europe and say it is made there.
      Businesses all over the world set up branches in China to cut costs.
      In Amsterdam (where I also spent time) the new metro trains are made after Paris metro design.. when I looked into it that time I saw that Alstom (French train manufacturer) also set up a branch in China (about 60 yrs ago).
      So the ‘Chinese style’ you are referring to is most likely originally European design.
      The speed of the Lagos metro is low but they announced from the beginning that this is part of start-up phase and speed would increase.
      I don’t know about the quality of the train.. I guess everything can come in different grades of quality but I’m curious to know your source where it is claimed to be ‘low budget equipment ‘? Everything felt pretty solid/same as any other light rail I’ve used before but then again I’m not an expert at all..
      Thanks for watching 🤍
