Tinubu use dis guy head aswear
Tinubu convinced dis guy to leave PDP, they teamed together and chased GEJ away.
Atiku had no foresight, he would have been on his second tenure had it been he backed GEJ.
Tinubu play this man🙆

Both guys are very good friends you'll be surprised they do engage in business talks privately. I don't take politicians seriously since ffk shocked me

Lol I thought I read very dark man😂😂🤣

We bought this cow today at keffi in Nasarawa state and shared among three of us.

The price shows that things aren't the way it used to be anymore.

For now,this would help my family to avoid buying a kilo for 6k.

Things are indeed crazy out there.

Can you preserve it very well. From please don't tie with plastic bag if you to make sure it stays frozen 247

What is the need of coming when they are already on ground. Seat down for a second and imagine u.s military base in boronu and zamfara. Infact we need them here our security men are tipped off

I'm not really interested in how long he live. We know that all these bad mouthing is just for personal and selfish reasons but my interest is that at his age he should not be petty. Age should speak Wisdom so that the young ones can learn

You don't understand most Nigerian act like zombies. A lot of them are not exposed so they won't spot when they are being manipulated. The Nigeria is like a maximum prison that when you get out you feel freedom. I can only get worse

Uteghe:

See finishing!

Once bayo or Reno drop lamba una happy like Christmas goat but u forget bag of garri na 75k na complete mumu una be

Slytiger:
How many northerners do you see critisizing the project..but it appears the whole south east (both the educated and the illiterates) are against the project, hence Umahi's statement.

Hae you ever heard the north say anything online no be mumu all of them be.

immortalcrown:
What joy do they derive in this?

Look at the question you are asking don't you know most of these boys are sponsored

But I thought Sahara reporters are fake news peddlers what am I seeing here

Yes if you see this kind face you will know this one is a criminal not gathering innocent boy for no reason. Buh how come the army are not always lucky with mass arrest just the way they come in hundreds

Tinubu nearly set the country ablaze

Hehehehe these people rituals..

SoNature:
Stop the name-calling. Nigeria has a problem. The president, if he genuinely wants to fix the country, should grow some balls and do the right thing.

He doesn't have that balls cos he will lose a lot of friends. It takes a man who has nothing to lose to grow such balls. I doubt tinubu is willing to risk it

Enemyofpeace:
criticise constructively

Look I get it but the anger is what I don't understand. Like why do you guys get so angry

ivandragon:
Again, it is a good project, but not a priority at this tight times.

There are already existing roads in need of repair at the fraction of the cost of the estimated cost of that coastal road that would serve an even more urgent purpose than the coastal road.

When this turns out to be the shambles it would eventually become, some clowns would turn on Umahi and his tribe and conveniently excuse the person on whose table the buck stops.

You just gave a perfect explanation to this epistle

PressMyButton:
Cane is hungrying Yemi. Same girl who once tweeted and asked LASG to be proactive in tackling flooding. Something could have messed up her brain.

Why do you people get so angry when they criticise Lagos state government

Deltafirstson:
To me, the best advice Tinubu’s should listen to now is to to resign. He has done his best unfortunately, his best is absolutely bad.

Agbado people are waiting for a miracle to happen while they don't know a hardened criminal is in power

When we tell people that the north is the problem of this country they become furious and attack. Look at most things that puts the economy and security of this country at risk it's mostly from the north. These people are highly corrupt and they can never change

favor914:
So what?

Oh u said so what? I think we should stop fighting for a better country since you believe this is owk. Infact let nepotism and corruption prevail. All of una dey mad.

What is the essence of asking for better country when we have nicompo's who support there oppressors

Sannisege:
The coastal road as an alternative road will reduce stress on the internal roads thereby making them last longer. New communities will also spring up along the coasts leading to more economic activities and depopulation of already overpopulated internal urban and rural areas. How about travel time reduction? The advantages are endless.

Do you also know that tinubu appointed his son in-law as the head of federal housing authority.

Do you also know that tinubu facilitated the sale of eni oil assets to his nephew that is the CEO of oando.

And now you seyi tinubu as the board member of contractors running this coastal highway project

A former Vice President and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar has linked the expedited execution of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway to the business relationship between President Bola Tinubu and Gilbert Chagoury, the owner of Hitech Construction.

Atiku further stated that the lack of proper notification regarding the demolition of tourist and recreational amenities, as well as other properties within the Oniru corridor, including sections of Landmark in Lagos State, to facilitate the construction of the Coastal Highway, is a key factor contributing to Nigeria’s ongoing struggle to attract foreign direct investments.

It will be recalled that the construction of the 700 super highway has attracted both criticism and praise, especially with the the demolition of numerous recreational centers in Lagos.

Atiku, in a statement released by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, on Sunday, alleged that the Coastal Highway project is being expedited solely due to the business ties between President Bola Tinubu and Gilbert Chagoury, the owner of Hitech, the contractor responsible for the highway project.

The ex-Vice President asserted that the contract was granted in violation of procurement regulations. He further highlighted that the involvement of President Bola Tinubu’s son and his associates on the boards of companies belonging to Gilbert Chagoury presents a clear conflict of interest.

Hebstated: “The fact that President Bola Tinubu’s son and his surrogates are on the board of companies owned by Gilbert Chagoury constitutes a conflict of interest.

“Tinubu’s son, Seyi, is a director on the board of CDK Integrated Industries, a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group, which manufactures ceramic tiles and sanitary towels.”

While describing it as unsurprising that the Chagoury Group had emerged as the primary recipient of Tinubu’s generosity, Atiku said: “Thanks to quality reporting by Africa Intelligence, our suspicions have been confirmed that Chagoury and Tinubu are indeed business partners and it has been formalized with Seyi on the board of one of Chagoury’s firms.”

He contended that instead of enhancing the ease of doing business, the Tinubu government had allegedly demonstrated to the global community that his business endeavours and those of his family would consistently take precedence over national interests.

“The former Vice President restated that it has become obvious even to the undiscerning that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is being done in a hurry purely because of the business relationship between Tinubu and Gilbert Chagoury, the owner of Hitech, the contractor that was awarded the contract for the highway project in contravention of the procurement laws. It is on record that this project is the most expensive single project ever embarked upon by the Nigerian government. The fact that it is happening at a time when Nigeria is facing its worst economic crisis ever is a red flag.

To add insult to injury, this project that is being done more than $13bn was awarded without competitive bidding. From all indications, the so-called Badagry-Sokoto highway would be awarded similarly at an enormous cost to taxpayers purely because Tinubu has put his interest ahead of the Nigerian people.


“Atiku said the demolition of tourist and recreational facilities and other properties within the Oniru corridor, including parts of Landmark, without ample notice, is one of the reasons foreign direct investments continue to elude the country.

"Rather than improving the ease of doing business, the Tinubu administration had shown to the world that his personal business interest and that of his family would always be prioritized over and above national interest”, the statement read in part.

The former Vice President further noted that investors observe the treatment of local businesses and would avoid regions where their investments lack protection.

According to him, in more orderly environments, establishments like Landmark would have been provided with a minimum of two years’ notice to facilitate proper planning.

“Tinubu has been globetrotting in search of foreign direct investments. He claims to have secured over $30 billion from various companies, but none has been forthcoming. Rather, all manufacturing firms have been posting heavy losses while some are exiting due to his poorly implemented exchange rate unification policy with even Aliko Dangote describing it as a huge mess at the recent annual general meeting of Dangote Sugar Refinery.

"The IMF in its latest report stated that Nigeria will by the end of the year become the 4th largest economy in Africa behind South Africa, Egypt and Algeria, a disgraceful development for a nation which was the largest in Africa by a mile when the PDP left the stage in 2015.

“Investors are seeing how local businesses are being treated and will not come to a place where their investments will not be protected. In saner climes, businesses such as Landmark would have been given at least two years’ notice for effective planning. But Tinubu’s eagerness to satisfy his business partners impaired his ability to coordinate the project properly.

"The awarding of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway was rushed; the environmental impact assessment report was not even completed; the right of way for the 700km stretch of the highway project was not secured; it was converted from a PPP to a government-funded project within the twinkle of an eye. The N500m that was approved by the National Assembly for the project was ignored, while over N1tn was released by Tinubu’s administration without approval from the National Assembly”, the PDP chieftain said.

Seun please caution your moderators.

we didn't get anything from subsidy, we rather stop borrowing to subsidize. The money the country got from crude sales are added to the allocation shared to every state. Before now, allocation shared was around 600 to 700 billions, but now it is over 1 trillion shared. A lot of states that are serious have started using their allocation judiciously. Like I said, this development will take time, it will not be in a jiffy. To build is harder than to destroy.

Wait wait wait are you saying we didn't save anything from the subsidy we were paying? Please brake this down properly let me understand

Also don't forget that I said government borrowed twice already. So what is that money for?

ShoeGetSize:
Na only "Toh" you sabi talk?

Obviously he has nothing to say I believe he is a member of APC. So Peter obi is the only problem he has

Kurugu92:
kai ,ibo man don vex

They have taken down that quote.. see some people don't understand that there are certain things you don't say. So tell me were is his freedom of speech now. He will be blocked for couple of weeks

Reflect7:
You don’t believe in freedom of speech when it is shone in your direction, but you call the President a drug lord and all kinds of names freely?

IPOB fascist.

Take your intolerant fascism back to the dirty bush you crawled out of.

This hatred you created just because of 2023 election will destroy this country and everybody will suffer it. Even if someone is fighting for freedom doesn't mean they are not Nigerians first. If issues they are agitating for are addressed you won't notice anything. Mind you not everyone in igboland believe in seccession. Be very careful cos you might end up regrating it.

CyracksMrBlogger:
he is fixing a corrupt country Nigeria and it won't be easy. We will face this hardship for a while before things begin to settle. Currency manipulation, hording of goods to create artificial scarcity and increase prices of things is what we are facing. Any other president would have removed subsidy too. Borrowing to subsidize the fuel so taking Nigeria into much debts and the borrowers started warning us since GEJ era that they will soon stop lending us money to subsidize fuel. We need to fix our problems internally. Once any of the refinery in Nigeria start working, the government through them can get the real statistics of how much liters of fuel Nigerians consume daily, and then subsidize it with the proceeds they get from selling crude, and also subsidize other things like food to alleviate the hardship. Just with time, we will get there but it won't be easy because a lot of enemies of Nigeria are fighting this solution.

Lemme ask you something I don't want to go into other things. The money we got from subsidy were is it. Remember we have borrowed twice in this administration. So what did we use the subsidy money for?

They said we spend trillions of naira in few months so we're is the money

CyracksMrBlogger:
is he the one hording fuel to sell at exorbitant prices?

Bros he is the president of the federal republic of Nigeria. During buhari tenure we didn't experience this level of scarcity. Tell yourself the truth and also not only fuel but virtually everything is too expensive. Did you vote him to make things expensive. If he is doing well I will support him but to me it's almost zero over ten

ukaegbuikedia:
E don RED.........!!!

But I know we must definitely get out of this. This is the best time we'll have to show patriotism.

Though am not a member of the devilish APC.

Oga this man is messing up the country and you are talking about patriotism. Ok maybe we show allow him finish us before we wake up

Too early to lament. Since we refuse to learn a lesson we will continue to make mistakes

Do you guys want him to break down. The man is old and he need some rest. This what happens when u vote a vegetable
