Omowale2023:
How?
The last time I checked, Government is continuity. You don't start such an ambitious project like the coastal highway without doing the ones you meet on ground
That's why we keep having incomplete and abandon projects all over the place.

You guys don't factor in the fact that the road is divided into segments. The Benin /Asaba axis would have been completed before the whole section of the road is done. Whichever portion of the road is completed can be put into use. Also, if you read my first post well, I did not say Govt should abandon existing roads and only concentrate on the new roads. I just highlighted the benefits of the new one. Yes, Govt is a continuum. I am sure in 100 years to come, some roads will still need repair or new one constructed. But many of our people are one way in their thinking. This thing is not mutually exclusive. I.e you build new road and then abandon all old /existing roads. Both can happen simultaneously. I am sure there are existing roads in the country that are currently being rehabilitated. All the roads cannot be done at the same time. And you cannot also say you have to wait untill you repair all the existing roads before you build a new one. I hope it is clear now.

Nigeria is under represented going by our population. Senegal is only 18.5 million people.

Konquest:
You have a brilliant point there. Regardless that road would still have to be rebuilt using the standard method of using bitumen.

Second, Edo State is part of the bitumen belt which is the 2nd largest reserve in the world after Canada and the bitumen belt extends from Lagos to Ogun to Ondo (the epicenter of the bitumen reserves) and Edo States. Yet nothing is being done to maximize the extraction of bitumen with bitumen refineries for road construction and other value additions. The bitumen reserves is officially more than the entire crude oil reserves in Nigeria!

Agreed!

Once the Coastal road is complete, there will be less traffic on some of these roads which will make repair work easier and quicker . A road like this will go from main / primary link road to alternate / secondary route connection.
But some, one way thinkers and myopic people will tell you not to construct a new road untill all the existing one are fixed.

Some humans and Government are terrible. Exchanging dead human remains like iced fish.

Mentally deranged.

Ifeanyi😂. Anybody reading this here surprised? Nobody.

Reno is a baggage for any of his handlers. That is how he embarrassed Jonathan with his Wendell Smith saga

NgeneUkwenu:
When will Peter Obi and his IPOB minions learn this ?

They also need to come out and protest..

yarimo:
Why will sowore run away

He learnt it from Ojukwu..

This man will not respect himself. This is why a nobody like Dele Farotimi will malign and defame him in a published book and still get away with it.

If this democracy fail, it will be because the Judiciary let all the criminals loose on the country.

Fake drugs and medication is also a major cause of kidney failure and all kind of disease. The South East indigene are mostly guilty of flooding the market with these fake products.

Even if the road is tarred with gold at zero cost, the bad belle people will still not be happy because their candidate lost the election.

She is a very beautiful damsel.

Igr is not achievement. Taxing your people for bragging right is silly

Tax is what government use to provide infrastructure and basic amenities.

Brake failure signifies poor vehicle maintenance. Dangote should be ashamed and be convinced that he has blood in his hand.

Says a conman swindling his congregation.

When your role models are not industrialist, entrepreneurs and genuine business men, then sorry is your name.

Omo ologo. Seriously, this guy needs to be at the world cup....

Unfortunately South East does not have the population, peace and tranquility to be able to benefit from projects like this.

Serves Reno right. Bloody hypocrites.

Some people could be myopic and destructive sha.. What manner of sabotage is this?

WizardOfNG:
Precisely. That's why I said earlier they are trying to use one individual to claim credential they have never merited or exemplified as a people.

Even in the whole SE, how many Yorubas are permanently domiciled there? 400k max being generous?

Yet how many Igbos in the SW thriving, buying properties, running successful businesses etc unimpeded? At least 8 million.

Which sane person, from any nation of the world at all, will you put these facts before and they will agree Yorubas are the "unaccomodating tribalist", as Igbos are desperate to claim, because of the anecdotal testimony of one individual.

Are they not the same ethnic group where an Igbo elder proudly proclaimed they do not sell land to outsiders meaning they want no equitable assimilation of non-Igbos in the SE?

A joke thread to be honest but I am not surprised considering it is about the champions of victimhood and hypocrisy.

400k for where? I lived in Enugu before and I can tell you that the number of Yorubas, you will find there will not be up to 4,000. In the entire SE, they are not up to 10,000. A number that you will find in just 1 local govt in Ekiti state.

bentenny:
I have seen one that belonged to a friend and was issued by the same government officials!

Can you share it here? Anybody with genuine documents, I'm sure can take the matter to court .

Propaganda on steroids. The number of Yoruba in Enugu is far less than you will find in small street in Akure. Very few and insignificant.

bentenny:
Who issued the clearance documents to the investors before they started development of the land?
Was it not from the same government officials?
Unless you are actually concluding that there is complicity within those same government officials...
Either way,its bad business for Lagos state as other investors will take their funds to other states and who loses at the end?

Have you seen the clearance certificate issued to any of these people?
