There is an existing road already. Why not improve the road? Why start afresh to build a new one, and abandon the existing one?

And in what world will you cover 700km in 4 hours? Lagos to Abuja in 4 hours?

Lagos to PH in 3 hours?

Even if na only you dey the road, you will not cover it in 4 hours

Itsrm:


The project seems to make a lot of sense to me. He said Lagos to Abuja will be 4 hours and maybe to PH, 3 hours.

As it stands, it takes roughly 10 hours to travel from Lag to PH and more than 50k worth of fuel.

That's unecessary waste of valuable time and money

Itsrm:


The new road will be about 400km according to him from Lagos to Abuja.

The new road is far more efficient. If it means abandoning the old ones, so be it.

izzou:


Nobody is talking about efficiency.

We are talking about wasting scarce resource just to steal.

Lagos to Abuja today is 12 hours because the roads are bad. People would do far less if it was good.

In an ideal situation, you are supposed to do Lagos to Sokoto in 17 hours, but it is not possible, because the roads are bad.

Lagos to PH 3hr?

As in under the goad road, cars will be traveling at the speed of light.

It is still not grass to grace as the general populace would have it. One of my very good friends from Uni was sent abroad for his Masters by his dad and came back to be named a commissioner. Apparently his dad was a respected grassroots leader in the state. The boy don hammer now but he can’t open his mouth and talk about grass to grace.

We might have to agree to disagree because the same way you said there are different levels of grass I believe that there are different levels of grace. Your parents can’t send you to expensive private school after expensive private school in a country where the average man on the street is not sure of where his next day’s meal will come from, and you will now be claiming grass. You are living in grace, just that your grace no high reach them Adenuga own.

Itsrm:


You yourself just said the existing road is 700km and you can't drive it in 4 hours even if the road is smooth.

Another road that will cut the distance and drive time into two is very much welcome.

An average car that consumes 10km/litre will burn an extra 18,000 worth of fuel using the old road vs the new road for a single trip and 36k for a return trip.

That's significant savings.

Just Obajana, they cannot even fix it.

Drivers spend 2 hours plus on a bad day.

Then you are telling me you want to build another road from Lagos to Abuja that is concrete.

A40:
They are snake oil sellers. I know who they are

A40:
Lagos to Abuja is over 750km so unless Nigeria speed limit don change I want to know how you safely encourage motorists to drive to Abuja in 4 hours.

izzou:


Since we are saving fuel, why not invest in a rail project from Lagos to Abuja?

Shebi na fuel savings you want? That one would save fuel and time?

Why should we abandon a road, and build another one in the name of saving fuel? What kind of wastage is that?

It's a new road of 460km. Not the existing one

common sense doesn't work in Nigeria, it's his time to eat, he has to introduce new projects, the kickbacks from some of the old projects still finds it's way to the Ministers in charge when they were awarded.

You don't want him to make money to fund his presidential aspiration?

People of God, I don collect palliative o

How did it happen?

Got back from Church this morning and my neighbour (a banker) approached me and said the government is paying palliative through his bank, and staff were given slots.

He said he'll be sharing it later in the day in the compound so wifey and I should come with one passport photograph each.

I went with my pp, he ticked a male name on the register which I signed against. His partner then stapled my pp on a social Intervention fund/palliative branded envelope and then snapped my picture holding the envelope, after which I was handed an envelope with 5k inside.

It's raining heavily presently but that has not deterred people from trooping into my compound to collect the money.

I just say make I update una.

OasisX:




.....guess you wanna type 50k right?

semid4lyfe:
..


Nope!

5K. Five Thousand Naira Only.

Perhaps, you mistook the "it's raining heavily phrase" for a figurative one. It isn't. I meant it literally.

Your son was not a pastor. He didn't serve as other did.

You die, and automatically made him Senior Pastor and Chairman.

The kind sabotaging wey go follow this guy tenure ehn.

.....I think its something common though. When my Auntie lost her husband, a Pastor with 3 Churches. Auntie inherits the main church, while my cousins take charge of other 2 churches as Pastors/Evangelists.

izzou:


I am not against children inheriting the throne, as long as they have been serving

Oyedepo's son is a pastor. He may be the head when Baba dies. Very understandable

But someone who is an actor. Then other junior pastors that have given their time to serve the father will just watch idly while a Nollywood star becomes King.

Satan does not need to scatter the church. Na humans go help am do am
