Dangote is not the only refinery in Nigeria. Moreover the marketers can also build a local refinery.

Judolisco:
I don't agree with that, buhari started it.... If terrorists and bandits can be released then no one deserves to be in jail

So Tinubu falls his supporters hand there. I hope he reverse himself on that one too.
They should stop breeding and recycling terrorists / bandits.

Judolisco:
he has corrected himself.... It's good he listens.... Shey buhari go hear una? And na Nigerians dey in charge of d list... I'm sure people must have collected bribes to input some people name inside d list

What of the pardoned terrorists and bandits?

DomPerignon:
. He should expect the cost of freighting to include the cost of returning back to China with an empty vessel since there is nothing Onitsha can export that China or the rest of the world will need.

What of kidnapping and drug trafficking? Are you saying China does not need development?

Self denial. From Fulani herdsmen to cult. Eventually they will come out to admit that it is all Igbolani all along . No one is fooled

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.

nedu666:
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.
