Bros, you are lookin for excuses.

Those roads lack maintenance. You and I know this. It's common sense, any dual highway will be designed for heavy duty, even a 3 years old knows this. But if you don't maintain it, it wll collapse.

What a sane broke country would have done is to rehabilitated those roads instead building another.

The decision is stupid, foolish and it's not in thr interest of the people. It's tantamount to building a new toilet because of your bad habit of not flushing toilet. You will still mess the other toilet up if you don't change your ways.

Just start flushing toilet and you have fixed the issue.

I'm not in the mood to school you on "investment" and its many enablers for economic prosperity of any nation. most of you can't see beyond your nose.. Road is a critical infrastructure for ease of doing business and for more investments to spring up around the surrounding area.

Please let me ask, how many road did Goodluck Jonathan or his predecessors in PDP that y'all have been hyping build?.. how many did they repair??.
Hatred is bad I tell you.

People are no longer open to criticism it's now all about tribal wars. Enjoy your time while it last

Of recent, there was a thread showing pictures of projects going on in Abuja by Wike, the FCT minister. These same people talking nonsense about the coastal highway condemned Wike's efforts but they are quick to applaud Fubara for having nothing to show. The same people agitating for the maintenance of roads would still have something to complain and criticize the government. They are never satisfied. There is an animal that is so glutinous, that animal is called PIG. It's difficult to satisfy a pig, it's in it's nature to never be satisfied. That's exactly the nature of some people.

There's no way it will make sense to a non-sentimental person that a country with horrible internal roads is building an alternative route with borrowed money instead of fixing the existing one.

It's tantamount to throwing away your dirty plates because you cannot wash them to buy new plates.

You will still throw the new plates away because of your bad culture

Ever wondered what the coolest coastal road trips in the world are? Picture the scene, you're cruising along a breezy, coastal highway, windows down, your favourite playlist on the car stereo. Utter bliss.

There's a real sense of freedom and romance to be had with a classic coast road trip, especially if your drive includes dreamy coastal scenery, quirky pit stops, challenging roads and fun passengers.

A coastal drive is the perfect road trip for seaside lovers and those seeking adventures and travel memories that will last a lifetime.

You didn't mention the thought of some bantits, kidnappers and terrorists blocking your way as a norm in Nigeria. Please add that one to ur list

The Northerners are the ones that are ,'suppose' to be shouting their hearts out as per, the super project though a Nigerian project, it is a project beneficial to the South at most.

These BITTER people crying and crying sincerely need prayers to be freed from their CURSE. grin grin grin

Don't worry, by the time Tinubu hands over to the North. The ocean will be extended from the South to the North by the Northern president. You will still cry and cry and cry.

If you add all of their investments in Lagos it is not up to the investment of Dangote in Lagos who is from the North. Empty vessels makes the loudest noise. 😂

People are no longer open to criticism it's now all about tribal wars. Enjoy your time while it last

It's not risky it's actually cool. But the terrorists and kidnappers are also happy and planning new routes to make cash since the government supports them.

Very cool but what we actually need in Nigeria is coastal highway from Calabar to Yenagoa. With detour from Bonny to Maiduguri via Port Harcourt. That's where the nation's wealth comes from.

Scale of preference in economics is the reason why some people question the urgency of the road. Is the road our problem now in Nigeria? The major roads that we know how many of them are motorable? Has the issue of insecurity and kidnapping been taken care of especially in the north?

Have you compared the terrain where these roads were built and when they were built to that in Nigeria?
Re: Some Epic Coastal Highways From Around The World by David160(m): 10:00pm On May 01
These countries can afford it... We can't.

These countries have good internal roads, good health care, stable electricity, low unemployment. You didn't see all these.. Na road u see.

They prefer to be asking Exxon Mobil, Shell etc. to move their Headquarters to Akwa Ibom, Delta and likes instead of having a super coastal highway that will link major cities in the South in space of 4 - 6hrs. My own joy is that it will decongest Lagos and boost economic activities in other parts of the country. Lagosians will breathe air of relief again.

All the major roads in the country linking to Lagos has not decongest it, must it be Calabar road? You guys are oozing in ignorance, or you just preferred to be what you are. Educated-Illiterates!

Most of them travel abroad with their eyes closed..

China is building bridge in the sky, while many other countries in Europe have super highways that connect all their cities, with subway system too.
We know the sore losers are only pained that PBAT and his team have hit the ground running and are performing beyond expectations.. In 3 yrs from now, Nigerians will be smiling.

Be formin tribalism there. Don't worry by the time terrorists and kidnappers take over the road that's why you will understand why certain things but be done before the others.

Let me respond only to your last question. For north heh, the presidency can only do little, sebi we Southerners dey at least value lives kinda, it's left for the northerners to put their act together and talk to themselves.

No be foreigners/outsiders dey kill them, na same them dey kill themselves
