Railway Shots, And The Government's Outrageous Project In Our Urban City.

in GEMS4 years ago

So for over one year the government brought in the Chinese to build a railway that might connect to different states and well make them the mega bucks, but from what I got, I heard they government makes about 3 million naira alone daily running the railway service from just Lagos state to neighbouring states like Ogun state, and the new multi railway project was going to connect at least 30 states in Nigeria. However we all know the Chinese.....

I live in a city in Ogun state called agbado and the Chinese have torn apart the road in our city motorable directly into Lagos and now residents of Lagos state can no longer bring goods from agbado axis into rafco axis down to AIT road which is actually in Lagos state. So as a result of building the railway, we no longer have a drainage system and our city has suffered tremendously. So whenever the rain falls our roads are always flooded

So the Chinese didn't even find a way to keep our major roads intact, they just tore down the road Cutting us off From directly entering Lagos state by vehicle from agbado major roads that also leads into jaffa and other neighboring places too. So now in my city we use to have complex and formal businesses and organisations. But the the previous government destroyed most of our urban buildings where business and money is being generated and nie foreign business can no longer come in into our City and believe me there are no jobs either.

So I'll say the Chinese construction activities especially in our city has taken us backward rather than forward, so they've created four railway track and they'll be enriching the pocket of the federal government and this indirectly affects us. Prior to the construction of these extra railway track, we were a modern Urban city, but since 2008 the government has destroyed a lot of urban buildings that actually created jobs for the people in our city but now these people are jobless and in my city we can't boast of a white colour establishment that employs and pays graduate

So at the end, our city has degraded because the government wants to make more money from building more railway tracks that runs from our city into other States. I feel the government here hardly considers the well being of the people and that's totally sad and they put making money. Our city has become a dumping ground and honestly I wish I had a photo of what our city looked like before the government and the Chinese happened. However here are Shots of the railway track that's destroyed our lives.
