pacesetting: These kinds of projects are done in phases and are eventually linked up. We expect the construction to take place in several sections at the same time. That's what I'd do as Minister of Works. I am indifferent to where it starts from. I am just happy it has started after 60 years! |

I don't know who is advising tinubu, this man is psycho. A huge misplaced priority. No electricity, No fuel, high inflation, high cost of living, high cost of food and household items, poor source of income,high insecurity, high rate of job insecurity, most business are shutting down, Which has made a whole lot of Nigerian youth jobless. Out of all these issues how is a coastal road a priority. 2 Likes |

Now, can you tell me why you think spending trillions on this project is better than spending considerably lesser to complete the east-west road that also has the same route? emkz: |

socialmediaman: Your attempt to defend Peter Obi's misbehaviour falls flat on common sense. I supported Tinubu during the elections. Now I support Nigeria. Opposition is not about attacking everything, but ensuring things are followed to completion. It is because Peter Obi talks with limited knowledge that I called him out. It is enough to have said the project he delayed to fix existing roads (which are ongoing anyway), but to say the project be abandoned is evil, unforgivable, devilish, anti-progress, anti-people, anti-Niger Delta and anti-humanity. I like Nairaland, because everything is documented. It was unlike when Tinubu/Fashola was bisecting roads for BRT corridor and people complained. When the BRT rolled out, those who complained ate back their words. I am shocked that many of you underrate Tinubu. A man who plotted to be president for 30 years na im una dey reason say na run off the mill politician. You can chose to lie to yourself, but you can't fault some of his policies. 1 Like 1 Share |

Buhari4dullard: What about the refineries in Warri and PH, are they not part of Niger Delta area? And the illegal ones your brothers are building in Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta States, how many more do you want? And in case you do not know, the one in Lagos was built by Dangote, a private individual. This is just to upgrade your knowledge. |

pacesetting: What I an still explaining is that these projects are ongoing simultaneously! Do you know how to use Google? Search East-West Road on the search bar and navigate to "news", and you'd see the latest on East-West Road. My biggest worry is that many of Tinubu's ministers are docile. During Obasanjo's time, his minister of information had a project where he visited project sites to show what government was doing. I think it was aired on NTA every week. Tinubu's minister is sitting down in Abuja. We should be seeing him in different project sights and having programmes on major TV stations showcasing what government is doing in various sectors. People assume nothing is happening because they don't know. By the way, Dave Umahi is redesigning most of the projects to concrete to save costs and last longer. |

We know what's good for Nigeria makes them sad and what's bad for Nigeria makes them happy, but why are people from that part of Nigeria so against this wonderful project? This shallow and unpatriotic man is taking about job loss when in fact the project is a massive job creator and economic catalyst across several states and hundreds of communities, also easy movement of goods and services the Lagos industrial and manufacturing corridor to several states and multiple regions all the way to the North. Thank God Nigerians rejected this shortsighted low thinking tribal and bigoted man. |
Re: Peter Obi Vehemently Condemns Lagos-Calabar Highway As A Misplaced Priority by pacesetting: 6:23pm On Apr 30 |
You still don't get it. I ask again, what's the benefit of spending trillions on a route when there's already an existing route under construction leading to the same destination? Won't it be wise to complete the existing route and use the huge balance of funds to focus on other pressing issues? emkz: |

PlasmaTV: You are a proper Yoruba to yourself on faceless social media. When I was in the University in IBO land several years ago, Kwara students don't attend ODUA students meetings because they don't want to be seen as identifying with Yorubas. I begged them to join us they refused. Some of them claim Fulani in Abuja and Kaduna. It is only in Lagos and faceless social media they claim to be Yoruba. I spent 6 years in IBO land in the University, if this project were to be in the North, no IBO dead or alive can have the audacity to say this nonsense that irrelevant man is saying. They are very ungrateful. That was how they killed Colonel Victor Banjo who designed Biafra war strategy and led IBOs to war against Nigeria . No IBO dead or alive can stop that project. 1 Like |

obi is an unintelligent dumb and a tribal bigot, he would have jumped at the project in praises if it were to be from onitsha to afikpo only. why is 2nd Niger bridge not condemned by obi, at least we can maintain the existing one. obi is too dangerous to be a president in Nigeria, he must be totally rejected in any future elections |

Tinubu listen to the wise man Peter obi...all this demolition of properties and people bussinesses because of this coastal high way road that will not even be completed will increase the rate of unemployment and put people more into poverty because those bussinesses you are destroying people are working there.... apply wisdom in goverance |

Re: Peter Obi Vehemently Condemns Lagos-Calabar Highway As A Misplaced Priority by InvertedHammer: 6:37pm On Apr 30 |
/ It is a disservice to term it a misplaced priority. Actually it is the greatest act of wickedness and height of insensitivity to have Nigerians keep dying in accidents or being kidnapped due to the deplorable state of Federal roads while they embark on constructing new ones with no completion in sight. But then only an idiot will fight for Nigerians. Indifference is more preferable because somehow Nigeria always has ways of happening to those who turn blind eyes to atrocities therein. / |

Re: Peter Obi Vehemently Condemns Lagos-Calabar Highway As A Misplaced Priority by emkz: 6:46pm On Apr 30 |
pacesetting: I expect the new road to link to the East-West road. If designs I saw on the internet for the coastal highway are correct, then it is actually to link up with the East-West road. In other words, it is part of the same road. You asked for the benefits of spending trillions on a road. Off the top of my head, the following are the benefits of a road infrastructure: (1) Open up rural areas to industrialization by connecting rural areas to urban centers. (2) Reducing commuting time for travellers. (3) Enhancing the economies of local communities through job creation and trade. (4) Enhancing cultural cocktails and boosting tourism potentials. (5) Revenue generation through tolls in the long term. (6) Reducing people's expenses. If I can drive to my office in Lagos in one hour and live somewhere accommodation is cheaper. In a society towards urbanization, there is no such thing as too much roads. Peter Obi not knowing that is why he is unfit for leadership. |
Re: Peter Obi Vehemently Condemns Lagos-Calabar Highway As A Misplaced Priority by Promax4321: 6:47pm On Apr 30 |
He is crying wolf because the road won't pass through Biafran land where they normally take passing feed from travellers. Their taxes on roads through their region increases value for good and equipments. The difference between food items between midbelt and Port harcourt is enumous and appoling. The road will reduce travelling time, bypass those tax collectors and open up niger Delta villages along the coaster route. Obi won't be happy for this gain to niger deltans and so with most of his obidients |
