Even Self, the map the guy showed is the one carrying the normal already existing road. I.e Lagos to Benin, Benin to Warri, Then to PH etc.

I have been patiently waiting for the actual map of where the coastal road will pass because i know that the project will be too tough.

Why i said so is because, the Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers state end have a lot of tributaries and estuaries that are very large. How roads wan take pass those places? Them go build bridges tire. Because those place na so so creeks, many rivers, and swamps plus large brackish water bodies joining the Atlantic Ocean full there.


It is mild in Delta and Rivers, but you see Bayelsa, you go see tributaries, estuaries and creeks tire. Driving on the Bayelsa end of East-West Road na so so small bridges over creeks and the the main one over River Nun.

We have good relationship with our SS brothers and we are not "attache by force". We support the development of the SS and we see the coastal road project as a step in the right direction. There may be hiccups, there will be imperfections but we can't start useless rhetoric when it's time for a tangible project that touches the core of South South.

He is right, so you are the one that should stop deceiving yourself here, you fool no one grin

The whole project can't be completed in 8 years. Even the first phase would take 3 to 4 years to complete, and they have about 4 phases or thereabout.

For us, once the phase 1 (VI to Lekki port/Dangote) is completed, we are fine and we would celebrate it. If not Tinubu, other governments should take it up from there and complete the remaining. Government is a continuum.

The real aim is to complete the coastal road from VI to Ibeju as Fashola originally envisaged all these Lagos to Calabar is just smoke screen.

Well I’m surprised because most people have been abusing the south east as the road isn’t connected into the region according to them

The map does it look coastal to you? Even the poster doesn't even know what he is doing.

You are most definitely NOT from the South of South region of Nigeria OR from the Niger Delta.

Just right below is a newspaper article from March 2024 featuring Chief Edwin Clark who is a foremost Ijaw and Nigerian nationalist commending the President Bola Tinubu administration for starting the Lagos to Calabar Coastal highway construction. He also told Tinubu in an open thank you letter to also simultaneously finish the East-West Road, and other major roads in Nigeria. Chief Edwin Clark has NEVER insulted the current Tinubu-led Federal Government or told them to stop the construction of the Lagos to Calabar Coastal highway like a vast number of some well-known narcissistic Ibos on this Website and other online platforms have been saying due to envy and ethnic bigotry!

=>https://nigerianpilot.news/2024/03/30/clark-hails-tinubu-for-lagos-calabar-coastal-road-project/


One of the NL posters from the South East earlier this week could not even hide his bigotry and envy when he posted that the Lagos to Calabar Coastal highway should have passed through the South East and proceeded to mention the routes in Iboland the road should have passed through. More than 98 percent of those openly condemning this public-private partnership road construction on NL and other online platforms are well-known Ibos or Ibo monikers and this is the reason why Dave Umahi also said the man who contested the last Presidential election and came 3rd was further inciting the South East against the success of the road construction because Dave Umahi himself has come under inciting attacks online by this group of toxic trolls among the Ibos!

=>https://sunnewsonline.com/how-lagos-calabar-coastal-highwayll-be-financed/


Tell me, how can a coastal highway pass through the South East which has NO coastline or shares direct boundaries with the Atlantic Ocean? This shows a complete lack of critical thinking from some of these young, very toxic and ill-informed NL posters tbh.

You have sense upstairs!
Just imagine the- Economic Development,with Multiplier -Effects every where:
1•Cross Transportation everywhere - Ships, Ferry,Roads and Trains. How does the road enter the picture here
2•Real Estates Across the Coastal Corridors in All the 8- States. Please what is the projected ROI for real estates across these 8 states
3• Boost in Tourist attractions - In what way will it boost tourism when there is insecurity
4• Heavy Industrial Development bases.- please how can industries be establish when economic fundamentals are not there
5• New Banks, Insurance and Service Industrial Growth.
6• Agricultural Produce-along the States- with different models. These guys are fishermen so in what way will it boost fisheries without the expansion of the ports in those areas
7• Hotels, Museum and Rapid Coastal Development - like that of the USA and Irish Coastal Towns and Cities. - stop repeating yourself you had spoken earlier about Tourism.

Sensible businessmen would have started buying land near these corridors now to resell and develop real estate when these areas open up. The impact would be massive.

I enjoy the industrial complexes that would spring up. I see what they are trying to do. They want to decongest Lagos.

For those who are business-minded, invest in real estate along these corridors. I heard rumours that Rochas Okorocha invested in land in Abuja that partly made him a multi-millionaire.

Obi too might have done worse,
Under Obi as Gov, doctors were on strike more than a year in Anambra.
Point out to his legacy in Anambra.
Today, but today you people have turned him to your hero with zero achievement
Despite the shortcomings of Buhari, he delivered second Niger bridge that Jonathan could not achieve for South East despite overwhelming support Jonathan got from South East

But doctors in Lagos went on strike the same time in Anambra for a year. And i recall tinubu advised Fashola to sack doctors? Haba stop being dense.

What the country needs now is a fully functional deep sea ports in Niger delta, with a fully functional electricity grid and rail link linking niger delta ports to the north, any other thing is not priority.

Lagos Benin expressway and east west road is highway enough.

You can aswell build a highway connecting all the major airports since you don't have anything to do with your time

You hit the nail on the head.
With the current economic challenges and hunger due to high cost of goods and services , high cost of energy, unemployment and poor remuneration in the land, this project is not a priority .

Your ignorance is what made you to believe that fraudulent map.

The shorelines in Rivers State and Bayelsa state including Delta is not same as Lagos state.

Because the criminals wanted to steal in trillions with this project, they never told you that coastal areas in the aforementioned States are peoples ancestral homes. It is not exactly what you have in Lagos state.

Are you going to uproot those people from their swampy villages with mangrove forests and creeks because of coastal highway?

Travel and see, that is part of education.
Since you have failed to name the locations where this fraudulent road will pass through, then begin to think now and ask Thièfnubu your criminally minded uncle serious questions about this project. grin grin
Travel.and see ?You guys always like deceiving yourselves

Are you fishermen.? Do your people travel on water? or settle by the waterside?
There are Yoruba riverine people in fishing communities from Cameroon to Senegal
You arrogantly assume you are more widely travelled than everyone when the opposite is the case.
The Yoruba are fishing in Ibeno Akwa Ibom and can educate you about the West African coast.
So stop all this textbook deal about mangroves. What do you know that is mangrove have you seen it before.??
Palm Grove in Lagos and much of Bariga oworonshoki and Lagos State was very similar to parts of Bayelsa creeks before the 60s
The Bodo Bobby road is nearly done and the coastal road will favour Bayelsa

It's incorrect and highly NAUSEATING for you to boldly say that the Niger Deltans are NOT interested in the highway. Who made YOU a mouthpiece for the Niger Delta? Are YOU more Niger Deltan than Chief Edwin Clark and other Niger Deltans who have commended the construction of the Lagos to Calabar Coastal highway?

You keep referring to Edwin Clark as if he is the mouthpiece of the Niger Delta as well.

He is just a single individual who is after his pocket!

Since the news of this highway erupted, how many of us have been talking about it?

It has become a subject of war between the Yorubas and the Igbos.

Natirally, we care less about these things, because if all things were equal, the region can afford whatever highway it needs without plenty drama!

Why is this project receiving so much hate?
Only in Nigeria people quickly make cheap excuse for normal rational behaviors. There is no new Innovation or policy that shouldn't be subjected to a public or private criticism/debate by those in government and the citizens anywhere in the world. It's half education to call criticism/debate hate. The criticism would even be more heated in a country where there have been zero accountability, wrong motive, high level of distrust & total disconnection between the citizens & the leaders.

The hypothesis are:
* There are high chances that the road will be abandoned especially by successor.
* There are high chances that the project will be an avenue for massive looting through various means.
* Why shouldn't the other seaports be fully reactivated, at least it will cost less time & funds instead of using the road to connect them. After all, the main reason road fail quickly is because of heavy vehicular usage on the existing express road.
These and many more are subject of observation.
