I think they mean where those structures are focused. Perhaps from Oniru to Ikota.

Which structures?

Below is what the spokesperson said:

Mr Olufemi Dare, said the initiative was directed by the Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi, to safeguard the highway from increasing cases of vandalism and misuse

He is literally saying 20 people will patrol the in the day and 20 people will patrol at night to safeguard the highway from vandalism and misuse.

How will 20 people achieve that on that much stretch of the road? Think am na.

Is it not wise to employ technology to monitor and report criminal activities on the highway from a control room to security personnel closest to the place?

To me, they just want to give those guys food to chop and possibly use them to arrest content creators who go to the coastal road to make videos to complain about standard & quality of work being done. There's no how 20 people on a shift can effectively guard that stretch of raod. Even the Lagos part alone, they can't effectively guard it talk more of Ogun state section, Ondo state section, etc

i know that you have an intense dislike for anything associated with APC , but you should not allow it to cloud your reasoning

this country has a serious vandalisation problem where infrastructure provided by the government is looted

it is the same reason trains are being derailed in the bush - because nigerians are stealing them

it should also be obvious to you that it takes TIME to dismantle a fence, or to wedge a manhole out from the road - and these are not items you can just run off with. all those patrolling need to do is sight the thieves and raise the alarm

it is also the reason why shanties are being cleared from the sides of the road because, these are also places your friendly neighbourhood iron condemn can temporarily store stolen materials [cue shouts of wickedness]

perhaps you are waiting until YOU have an accident due to a vandalised road, at which time you will come here to talk about how useless the APC government is - because complaining is easy

maybe you can come up with a solution to vandalisation of government funded infrastructure

the first step to securing anywhere is direct engagement of the community. members of the community already see when all this is going on, but they are not personally invested in stopping it. this is one measure that can be taken - as a first step

It actually doesn't make any sense. 20 people cannot patrol a stretch of road that is 700km long, that's basic common sense.

If you are genuinely looking for solution to vandalization of government funded infrastructure, then you will be talking of installing CCTV and use of drones which are more effective for monitoring the infrastructure than 40 people running two different shifts.

CCTV and drone cameras being used for monitoring the corridor is a more sensible approach to achieving security on that corridor. All they need is a control room that will be mounted by few personnel who would alert security agencies when they notice any criminal activities or acts of vandalization along the corridor. The nearest police or military formation closet to the scene will be alerted from the control room and they will easily apprehend the criminals live in action.

I find it funny that you think this has anything to do with like or dislike for APC. Just think about it again, think of the distance 20 people can cover on a 700km road within 12 hours shift; you will see the whole idea of " 40 people to guard coastal road " is just very ridiculous.

GloriousGbola:
it is not actually funny

in festac a b k have stolen most of the steel manhole covers for drains

two of my kids have fallen in manholes at different times. my car tire has gotten stuck as well
they were breaking concrete divider along lagos badagry expressway to steal reinforcement
the finger mesh barriers at oshodi etal have also been stolen
it is why some bridges now use ridiculous looking concrete hand rail instead of steel or aluminum

and we are soon going to have to do same for train railways

20 people in the day and 20 people in the night will guard 700km of road and it's not funny to you? 😂

So according to you it's the total 40 people that will prevent your car from getting stuck in man hole?

Is the coastal road the same distance as festac , Lagos-badagry expressway or Oshodi ?

Even deploying 40 guards to Lagos-Ibadan expressway is ridiculously funny , not to mention the Coastal road that is 700km

If you're getting a brand new vehicle, why would the servicing be very difficult? And I'm reading up that they're getting service outlets opened for customers too..

Not really going to be a customer for now because I don't really like it, but at least it's helping our auto market right now... Nigerian dealers shoulders dn come down small sha..

A vehicle being brand new doesn't mean you won't be servicing it regularly na. At least I know people who buy those Elizade Toyota , Coscharis and co take their vehicles to service centers for regular servicing, oil change, and general servicing.

I am saying if u buy BYD from China and you want to service it at BYD service center in Lagos, they won't service it for you. I will try and look for the guy's video and post it here. They told him their company policy only permits them to service BYD vehicles bought from BYD dealership store here in Nigeria, not the ones bought overseas and shipped down here.

If they stick to that policy, be rest assured that the news will spread and Nigerians may likely avoid those brands.

Even the ones bought in their dealership store in naija, the cost of servicing no be beans. I think the service center guy gave an estimated cost in the video sef.

Ibukzy:
You guys just say anything that comes to mind.

Do you expect VAR intervention against Argentina when there was no offence that met the threshold for VAR intervention?

Quoting VAR intervention numbers without showing whether the referee actually made any clear and obvious errors proves nothing. If Argentina committed no reviewable offence, then naturally there wouldn't be VAR interventions against them.

The statistic by itself doesn't prove bias, it only shows how many times VAR intervened, not whether those interventions were correct or incorrect.

Na why dem dey call am AGENDA na. They will wrongly interpret stats, rely on "eye-test" when data/stats doesn't favour their agenda and top things up with conspiracy theories that cannot be proven.

They won't show you goals Argentina scored that shouldn't have stood, they won't show you the law that was broken by the match officials to favor Argentina, but they will tell you the match was scripted just like they did in 2022. A competition that Messi won multiple Man of The Match awards to lead his team to lift the biggest trophy in World football; they say FIFA rigged it for him.

AirBere:

Yes oo. Same thing before World cup i no hear word with Portugal. As them flog Portugal, I no hear word with France. You'll think France had quality players in every position. Team wey Kounde, Digne, Rabiot, Tchumeni and Barcola are starters lol. The 2018 team had more quality but with less hype. Kante, Pogba, Matuidi, Griezmann did so much work in that team.

They're simply top heavy. The overall quality isn't spread enough in my opinion.

People got carried away with the prospect of attacking firepower of Dembele, Olise, Doue and Mbappe. They didn't look at their deficiencies in Midfield and Fullback positions. Everybody don calm down back to reality

I think someone here predicted that Nigerian Auto Dealers will reduce their prices once these Chinese cars start making it in..Nice one...!!!

Whatever money you think you are saving buying those Chinese brands, you will spend it via maintenance and servicing at their service centers.

Another thing is if you think you are wise and u decide to order the Chinese vehicle from China instead of buying from their dealership store here in Naija, they will refuse to service it for you at their service center. A guy who bought BYD from China made a video of him going to their service center in Lagos willing to pay for servicing and maintenance, they told him point blank that they can't carry out the servicing for him. It is against their policies. The went to different centers, he got the same feedback.

Imagine buying an electric vehicle and struggling to find where to service it even with ur money.

If these bottlenecks are not sorted, people will still run from the Chinese brands in due time.

Olise flopped almost throughout the knockout stage. Immediately it got to Rd 16 his assists dried up but his nonchalant fine boy football continued. He kept trying to nutmeg Spanish players that if you lose the ball to them, it will take you 4 Eke market days to get the ball back.

He did the same thing when Bayern played Arsenal in the group stage of the Champions league this recently concluded season. He ran into pack of bodies while trying to "drimble" and nutmeg his way out of Arsenal's defense, only for it to lead to Arsenal's counterattack for Martinelli's goal

iamoyindamola:
Especially oshodi and apapa, I remember environmental sanitation was strict then. We will finish cleaning surrounding and we will carry the refuse to a huge dump site

Exactly! Almost every area had those big refuse dumpster where people go to dump their refuse and the whole place stinks to high heavens. Na people wey dey stay such area dey suffer the stench and how dirty such places always get. You will see scavengers climbing onto the dumpster looking for any relic they can get lucky to find.

It was under Fashola they really phased that system out

Ibime:
Tinubu must have really changed Lagos

See people complaining about waste disposal only picking waste from local dump site

They must not know about SULO in the 1990s

Now expectations have changed. Na from front of house dem dey pick rubbish.

Tinubu Una 😏😏😏

PSP was introduced in Lagos in 1997 before Tinubu became governor. And it was under Fashola's administration that PSP really thrived and most dump sites were evacuated and compactor trucks started going to people's houses, major markets and streets to pick waste.

I still remember vividly under Tinubu's administration in the early 2000's most areas local dump sites where people will dump their waste which could stay there for weeks before it is evacuated. At least I remember going to dump our waste there with my sister on different ocassions.

This Sanwoolu administration is literally taking Lagos back to that Egypt; that's why people are calling Sanwoolu and his commissioner for environment out.🤦‍♂️

CLOUDRepublic:
Lagos is a mega city, it would have been much easier if the society has a good refuse disposal culture.
Also maybe the best thing is to hire more work force, but that will of course translate into more payment for refuse disposal.

We actually pay for refuse disposal and they don't come to pick it up.

What most landlords do now in Lagos is that tbey build utility bills into total package for house rents. If your PSP bill is let's say 3k per month for 2 bedroom flat, u will be made to pay 36,000 ( 3k x 12) as part of utility bills when u are renewing Ur rent for the year.

The landlord pays the 36k to PSP as Ur annual PSP bill instead of chasing after u every month for payment when LAWMA task force comes calling.

For someone who has made such prepayment, the least u should expect from the PSP operators is to come often to pick your refuse at least once a week like they used to do in the last. But nowadays they won't even come once in 2 months.

That should give u an in-let into what is fuelling the anger of the common man who pays his tax and tries to be as law abiding as possible.

They should get their act together and stop giving excuse of population overgrowth. When they are collecting the money for waste disposal they don't complain the money is too much.

Dem Don reduce Mbappe to who dey shake hands and clap all over the pitch. Me likey! 🤩
