They just completed 10km,690km still to be constructed. O lo far gan o.

Padi padi government

EponObi:
Bunch of jokers. Nigeria really spoilt her people silly with subsidies; so much they are tuned out of reality.

It's only in Nigeria that people wants all the solid infrastructures and the goodies that comes with it without paying a dime. Even tax, most don't pay. Before the fuel subsidy was removed, most were moving about with the faux reality that they are rich and earning enough. The removal shattered that reality completely. And na them dey say rubbish the previous years about the government not doing anything for them.
.........
.....

People think a 700km costal highway is one of those roads within their housing estates. A super highway that will have a train lane in the middle for that matter. Una never ready.

You have said it all. I really don't understand Nigerians. Some roads in the UK, US and canada have tolls. The road is not by force, if you don't want to use it, use the alternatives (which are usually longer or with more traffic).

Nigerians expect the govt to even pay their rent and but theirs cars. They think subsidy should apply to all their bills as it is their right without contributing positively to the national purse through tax and other civic duties.

Helinues how far 😁

This is a great project regardless of the toll.
But my instincts is telling me that as soon as the Lagos, Ogun and Ondo part of it is completed, the project will be abandoned.
Projects of this type are usually started from different segments of the road, but this one is only concentrating on the Lagos segment.
The SE and SS part of this project will never be touched. A Yoruba man is a Yoruba man in Nigerian politics.

9 toll gate will cost motorist 27,000 haba umahi you don't have conscience.

In one year they would recoup the spending

Don't mind them brother. Someone in the article was even proposing #300 as toll fee. What a joke! Why not #50?

With an average of #3k, it will take the country 15 years to pay back the loan for the project. That's fair tbh.

Instead of demand for vigorous infrastructural development drives, Nigerians will rather want to government to keep subsidizing dollar and fuel so they eat away their future. If Nigeria can get electricity right alone, 30% are already equipped with the knowledge and drive to clear their way to financial freedom. But no, we will rather chase after frivolities.

helinues:


Have they even completed the road not to talk of building the toll gates?

You want them to wait for the same APC that has spent the last 10 years failing to finish before voicing out...lol

Ofunaofu:


When should there be an outrage? Is it when it is fully implemented?

I have told you several times to stop making senseless comments. 

but you're the senseless one here because at the end of the day there is no guarantee that this plan will come to fruition

Road wen them no go finish in 50yrs

zionstaar75:

Just go back to read your comment again, and you will realize how confused you are.

The minister is saying that the highway will be tolled; here you are saying something else. 

What is wrong with your reasoning?

The entire money they will use to build it at go hope you would cough it for them?

Is labour party not govt of Igbo for Igbo?

We don’t want the road. We have connecting roads already that are bad. Fix those. Give students their loans and grants and give the money for the road as grants for Nigerian to make inventions and start/grow businesses

It’s very clear that nigeria won’t move forward if this same recycled thieves continue in power

Before 2003, I used to drive from Lagos to Makurdi with 2 stop overs at Okenne, and Ayingba or Otukpo in 8.5 to 10 hours or through Benin Enugu 9th mile in 9 hours. I used to drive Lagos to Abuja via Benin or the Akure-Owo- Ibilo ( notusing the present Akoko route) in 7 hours max. Lagos -Kaduna - Kano was 9 hours - 2.5 hours. Benin- City - Abuja was 4.5 hours Then the road were fairly good, this was about 3 years after Obj removed toll fees which stood then at 100 naira-150 per every 80-100km. I would rather pay extra 3000 for a 700km at 428.71 Naira per 100km journey than subject myself to what is going on presently with bad roads, spoilt suspensions, shocks and weakened chassis, protracted journey time and heavy fatigue amongst others. As at this morning a 55 minutes flight from Abuja to Benin is 128k on one airline and 181k economy on another. Please not everything we blow our top. Abeg. We cannot shy from the fact that infrastructural development especially like this one has multiple advantages accruable to the economy of the various communities the project would transverse.

Welcome to renewed shege




APC go reach everybody

Have they even started building the road before talking of the amount of money to be exacted as toll money from drivers?

Fiscus105:
Any vehicle that cannot pay it, let him go through long route. As simple as ABC.

Asin ehn, no be by force

Mark my word... A clear cr!minal agenda. This man wan reck the future just like lekki tollgate. . What stop them from working on the federal high ways that link the states

Well, let the project be completed first then we can come together to agree how much we can afford to pay, but Atiku's 300 naira is definitely not obtainable

It's 1k5 for cars
5k for trucks

Let it be

Done


First.

Bobloco:
•Cars to pay N1500, trucks N5000 – Umahi
•Says Landmark Resort, jobs won’t be affected
•Property owners to be compensated



https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/04/lagos-calabar-coastal-road-outrage-as-fg-proposes-n3000-per-toll-gate/amp/

This CUPP people are like dogs, throw a bone to a dog, the dog will start barking. Umahi was talking hypothetically that if the toll is this much, then it will take these many years to recover the cost of construction of the highway. CUPP JUMP AT IT TO BARK, WAIL AND SHOUT. Empty barrel making the loudest noise.

Why not complete the project first na.

By the way, don't u think the project should have started from calabar before ending in the Lagos side?.

Since starting in the lagos side, will increase the already existing lagos traffic..

Jst my thinking sha.

I have told you several times to stop making senseless comments. 

you are very funny to expect an APC supporter to have sense,even their president no get sense, see what the country has turned into under his watch,does it look like Nigeria is being run by someone with sense,even his appointees ,one just apologised for making senseless comments about freezer and cost of electricity
So my brother place no premium of their opinions

O P,are you ok?
What is Outrage there,in the Price?
I listened to the Hon Minister Umahi and he said between 'N1000 for Cars and N5000- for Trucks,etc and he said it depends - it can rise and falls too' ie the prices rises and falls according to Economic dictate!
✓ Do you want them to create a NTrillions- Project for you without recouping the Funds- because it's a Father Christmas money?
✓Are you aware that the Fundings is Mostly from Institutions -Abroad and Repayments is a Critical Elements in a Project Success?
✓ The Project was designed by your dead Party- PDP-Decades- ago,just like the 2nd Niger Project that was abandoned but didn't have the will to start it- and remain on the drawing book! So because it is Tinubu era that is kick Starting it,then is not good,abi?
✓Have you seen or been to that of American -or Irish - Coastal Projects and see how those economies got Transformed by their Coastal Projects like this?
• This is a Project that is Passing through 9- States of the Federation but here you are writing to deliberately say trash and anybody against it should be seen as the enemy of Nigeria!
LP and PDP are enemies of Nigeria- all na same!

Na apc ass licker.

Wicked people in government....no feelings and conscience for the nigeria people...see the hardship they have already inflicted on nigerians and they want to add more hardship

Ofunaofu:

Do you think that guy is sensible at all?

They should stop wasting money.....they can use the money they want to use to construct the highway to rehabilitate, construct and upgrade those federal roads that are deteriorating and are in bad condition...they is a lot of federal roads that are in bad condition

If you will be collecting 5,000 naira on trailers, trucks that will be transporting foodstuffs and goods to the market that will increase the prices of foodstuffs and goods the more and increase inflation...the costs of transportation will also increase if 3,000 naira will be collected from buses...this APC government just want to add more pain ,hardship to nigerians..a government with no conscience and feelings
