Mr Umahi, I want to remind you, Wike, and Uzodinma that Rochas [/b]twerked more than you, [b]Amaechi twerked more than you, Orji Uzo Kalu twerked more than you, Ogbonnaya Onu (of blessed memory) twerked more than you, where are they today? How did they all end up? Some say it's the heartbreak from the last APC Presidential Primaries that killed Onu. He never recovered, after the tears he shed on the podium that fateful night.

Those who are bad students of history are bound to repeat it. I rest my case!

All these projects needs critical thinking jere

The rail line that goes to Ibadan has refused to pick even after years of govt spending on it and still spending on it

You are building roads for who dey find food chop

Peter Obi is a tribalist and has always been right from his time in Anambra as governor.

1. If he is not dividing his fellow ibos like the way he deported Ebonyi people from Anambra in 2011 or did not allow non-anambrans to contest in any election even for leadership of market positions,

2. he would pitch them against other tribes like he tagged Ngige a Yoruba candidate during the governorship election in Anambra in 2013

3. and if he can't find a way to divide with tribalism, he would divide people along religious lines like the Anglican vs Catholic fight he created in Anambra.

Sonyboom:
I pity Peter Peter Obi the little saving grace he as been banking on he want it eroded totally before the next election.

I don't blame him though I blame Tinubu with his poor n pathetic governance. If this foolish government can just bring back naira to ₦700 n stabilize it there, ensure regular supply of fuel will Peter Obi be able to show face anywhere in Nigeria talk more of dreaming about recontesting in 2027.

Mitsurugi:
Umahi you're such a NICE GUY! They will one day give you the Presidential ticket ----DAVID UMAHI - we patriotic Nigerians love you

SmartyPants:


Umahi is the minister of works who is being subtly and directly accused of persecuting Igbos - baselessly. Will you not take it personally if your tribesman played such a dirty game on you? Obi and his crowd know what they're doing. Just as he used backhanded tactics against Ngige, the idea is to weaken Umahi's profile as a possible future threat to Obi's presidential ambition, by making sure Igbos see him as a traitor.

emkz:
What Peter Obi is trying to do is politics of populism. He realizes that the social media mob is sympathetic to the Landmark CEO who encroached on government land, and he decided to initiate a Twitter rant yesterday condemning the project.

To tell you how dangerous it is, some people are now asking investors not to invest in Lagos and a dangerous ethnic dimension has entered the conversation.

Landmark is one of several businesses and why are other businesses silent?

Looking at what was demolished, see picture below; please how does that amount to $200million investment? Quantity surveyors and valuers, please give a fair assessment of the value of that swimming pool and temporary shanties.

While I think Umahi went too far in saying Peter Obi is inciting Igbos, I think it is important for Peter Obi to inform himself of the implications of some of his submissions in the public arena. Nigeria is too fragile to play this ethnic game because of elections.

What many are reading is him fighting for his brother's investment, whipping up mob sentiments and misrepresenting facts.

Until now, Landmark has not proved to the social media that they own the land. They are saying shift the project away so I can illegally stay on the land. That is the illegality Peter Obi supports.

Apparently, the most expensive asset there is the swimming pool.

From the internet, the cost of a swimming pool is as follows;

Let's say each gazebo costs ₦500,000. There are about twenty of them there. That works out to about ₦10,000,000. I see three buildings. Let's put them at the cost of ₦20,000,000 each. Assuming the swimming pool costs ₦80,000,000 to build + ₦10,000,000 for gazebos and ₦60,000,000 for building, that works out to ₦150,000,000. Using an exchange rate of USD$1 = ₦1,263.273; that works out to USD$120,000. Okay, let's use the exchange rate of the naira to the dollar as at six years ago, since the CEO of Landmark claimed it was a six year investment. Obviously, prices were way cheaper then, but let us still use today's prices. That ₦150,000,000 works out to about USD$450,000 using an exchange rate of ₦333 to the dollar which obtained as at six years ago. Experts can argue for inflation and price fluctuations.

Clearly, the costing shows that the investment demolished is between 0.225% to 0.06% of the $200m investment claimed by the Landmark CEO. Of course, many bought it and ran with it.

At this time, the Landmark CEO owes the government an apology and owes the mob on social media an apology for misleading the public through social media.

Sheuns:
That coastal road should be completed from start to finish by this administration that embarked upon it. Failure for this administration to complete the project 100% will add this project to long list of abandoned projects and money wasted.

If it is completed, there may be justification for it when people start feeling the positive and economic impacts.

OboOlora:
Buhari go de Daura de chop tuwo shinkafa as e de collect BeeJ from Aisha after aluwala hahahaha

This present govt nor remember am to blame for their woes, they prefer to blame the same person they stole his mandate.

I just pity Nigerians in Nigeria, if you like don't run.

garykoeman:
Mr umahi has my vote anyday anytime for always speaking the truth.

Saturnalia:
Toooh! If to say Dave Umahi na Hausa/Fulani or Yoruba man, I for say he’s being mischievous but since Na fellow Igbo like Peteru Girigori aka Gbajue with him feminine ashewo voice; I will wait to hear wetin him one-way-traffic-nzogbu-nzogbu followers go talk.

He’s just too tribalistic to rule this Country. Reno Omokri really opened his dirty Yansh to the whole world.

And 2027 will be worse for him now that everybody from other ethnicities now know the specie of snake he is. If he likes, he can turban himself as the Sultan of Zamfara (pun intended), He will never be President of this Country.

***Modified***

Wow! They have began cursing Umahi. So soon?

These incorrigible charlatans were praising Dave Umahi a few weeks ago when he renovated the “Third Mainland Bridge”.

Some of them even created comparison topics just to disparage Babatunde Fashola for being so inferior to Umahi; now they’re cursing Umahi for speaking the truth.

They said the Landmark’s property demolished was worth $200 Million. No be only $200 Million, Na $200 Trillion. Awon alawada Keri-keri.

I am glad their tomfoolery is being showcased to the whole world.

Mr Umahi, I want to remind you, Wike, and Uzodinma that Rochas twerked more than you, Amaechi twerked more than you, Orji Uzo Kalu twerked more than you, Ogbonnaya Onu (of blessed memory) twerked more than you, where are they today? How did they all end up? Some say it's the heartbreak from the last APC Presidential Primaries that killed Onu. He never recovered, after the tears he shed on the podium that fateful night.

Shikena:
Don't attack Landmark CEO. He was only being himself. Your analysis & figures are spot on but you should understand that we all know the real truth when an average Ibo man says he has N250m. That means he is probably worth around N7.5m. Enough to flex in his local neighborhood but nowhere close to his chestbeating figure

Why not start from calaba so that before you reach Lagos most of those business should have adjusted.

Will the road be completed under 1 year? We know that road will not be completed in 10 years to come.

And secondly what's the government doing on other bad roads in the country?

Thanks for your candid feedback.
Do you know I didn't realize the guy was Igbo until this morning? The matter took a dangerous ethnic slant and turned to an Ogbo versus Yoruba issue. We have seen that ethnic rivalries can outlive generations. We don't need it. We must all put hands together to kill such rivalries before they consume us.
At this time, let us cooperate for our mutual advancement. What has ethnic rivalries done for us?

Ebonyians and other non indegenes living in anambra would b laughing at ur ignorance right now.

agabusta:


He was also a principal agent that amplified the issue of the transfer of Anambra destitutes by Fashola back then.

He was the one that made the issue to be looked at from tribal angle.

Xscape1993:
This Umahi is not a complete human being. He talks like a child of yesterday. Only in Nigeria you see agberos, touts, certificate forgers, terrorist sponsors, kidnappers, drug barons, strange men and people without economy knowledge are in corridor of power.
