The road through Ondo into Edo where it joins the East west road. Is that a new road or part of the East west?

Also the part being constructed in calabar to akwaIbom is that also the east west road

E be like say you never wake up to the reality

The Coastal Road ends at Ogun.

What Umahi wants to do now is widen the East West Road by 2 meters since it covers the stretch of the South South states. The East West road starts at Edo.

There's no Ondo anymore.

The Coastal Road starts from Lagos to Ogun. Shikena

Theflint1:
Hear more than what was said by the projects lead engineer ?

We dey wait

Professor in Practice

raumdeuter:
You are the ones carrying the news while I am waiting to hear more of the details

But since you know you can tell us more

1. What happens to the Calabar end that work is ongoing, does it also connect to the East west or there was no Calabar end of the road from begining

So if you say this is Lagos -Ogun, Do you also tag the other side Calabar-Akwa Ibom road

How many Kilometers of road end up being completed vs how much was initially planned

The road that diverts at the end of Ondo into Edo will also pass through areas and provide the alternatives to commuters

The road that diverts into Edo, is joining the East West road.

East West road has already been existing before APC was born. That's where we pass to the South South

Don't come and tell us it is an alternative.

liveLongNprospa:
The way them first commot landmark.
Bruh make everybody mind dey.

These guys go collect money just to benefit 2 states.
Omo

This robbery pain me guy.
Because I know that as folloish as ND leaders are, the people deserve so much better for the fact that they have suffered shege.

Tinubu had to wait till he completed the Lagos -Ogun axis. Fixed street lights, and hired Coastal guards, before he remembered that Ondo, Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa cannot be done.

Hehehehehe

Bola Ahmed Ajudua

raumdeuter:
What of the section that begun from Calabar is that abandoned too

You should be updating us nau

Na me you dey ask.

The East West road does not connect to Calabar..Does it?

liveLongNprospa:
Guy.
This was one very very very expensive lamba, you know how many people lost their homes in the whole land reclaiming process.

Ancestral homes oooo.

All because of tribal/financial fucking greed.
Yes ND governors are useless so that means the FG can just run the ND people street??

Any ND person who wants to see and enjoy the Coastal road should go to Ogun state and take pictures

I remember that Winhomes saga, and how they have been dragging the matter since.

Now, the road ends in Ogun. Tufiakwa

Theflint1:
I still can't believe they would have planned this thing for this outcome...seems so crazily corrupt.

I mean the project could have sold simply on what was feasible, there was merit enough, and they could have gone about it without raising dust.

Omor the nature of this corruption get as e dey

Money that would have revived many roads is what they went to waste at the Coastal road

Just came back, and I spent 5 hours at Okada. The distance was not even up to 1km

Bad roads with trucks breaking down everywhere.

liveLongNprospa:
This has nothing to do with the governors.

The FG did an assessment.
The FG signed off on that project.
The FG started the project.
They finished Lagos ASAP, finished Ogun ASAP and then suddenly the FG realised that oh part of Ondo and bayelsa and delta cannot be worked on because it will cost too much money.

This is after doing an initial Comprehensive Assessment.

God will punish anybody that will tell people in the future in this forum that other people should return to their states when the benefits of this robbery starts pouring into Lagos state account.

Its the blatant way of robbery that is annoying me.

Exactly.

You cannot tell me this is not deliberate.

Finished and completed Lagos and Ogun, then come and tell us that others cannot be done. They should go and join the East West road

This one na im we dey call "Carry person Handicap"

liveLongNprospa:
ND people as usual have lost out on this apparently.

To make it worse, FG knew ever since that it was not feasible.
Like from the very beginning they knew.

Okay you decide to do white elephant project that we all know is an avenue to steal, make SS states atleast enjoy am, you still removed that one but conveniently left Lagos and Ogun state portion.

The Coastal road was the anthem all their governors sang when they defected

Coastal road will heal the sick
Coastal road will bring stable electricity
Ati be be lo.

Well, make everybody dey go Ogun state go see the tourist site.

The lamba is over

Dangote has extended his IPO by two weeks.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

BlueRayDick:
It's just unfortunate. They know if they decide to fix the existing bad roads instead of starting a phantom project, they won't have enough to steal.

The people that amuse me most in all of these are the regular everyday Nigerians who actually took it upon themselves to defend the white elephant project. They thought those who asked questions hated Nigeria , but they loved Nigeria most.

In Lioness Season 3 episode 5, people like that were referred to as "useful ediots"

Scammed the whole country that they are building a masterpiece that will connect Southern Nigeria.

Even put a rail that will link Onitsha



After every every, na Ogun state the road go end.

Lagos Coastal Highway

Olowunl01:
STEM in the bin, na Accountant dey provide marvelous engineering instead of Minister wey be Engineer

Hopefully he can now divert the funds and focus on fixing the existing bad highways.

A wonderful Engineering indeed.

Person never build road finish, e don name am.

They better change the name to Lagos -Ogun Coastal Highway

Every road I knew as a child was named after completion.

Only Tinubu named the Coastal Highway after himself, when construction was ongoing

Lagos to Ogun Coastal Highway

The same highway Delta state governor and other SS governors use dey brag

BlueRayDick:
Can any APC supporter tell us what will happen to the proposed rail line they intend to build alongside the Coastal highway? Will it also "detour inward" alongside the road ?

This one go be A marvelous engineering



That money they poured from Lagos to Ogun state, would have fixed few horrible roads in Nigeria from start to finish.

Ndi Wonderful Engineering

A wonderful engineering

BlueRayDick:
It depends on the Dangote arm of business u are talking about tho. I know quite a number of people who carry cement for Dangote Cement and they are independent logistics companies . There’s a reason why Dangote always issue disclaimer when they say “ Dangote truck kills 5 people at Obajana”.

What usually happens in that instant is that a certain “ Jesu Seun enterprise “ is carrying Dangote products out of Obajana cement plant , then the driver crushes a car and 2 bike men . While the truck may have Dangote logo attached , it’s not in the record of fleet of trucks belonging to Dangote logistics .

I agree with you that there’s a company called Dangote transport company, but they don’t even oversee half of trucks carting the Dangote logo .

Half? Lol

Cement is just one arm of Dangote, and that's the only place you'll see independent contractors, because the demand is high.

There's Salt, Sugar, even limestone sef. All these ones na Dangote.

He bought 5000 trucks for refinery alone. All na under Dangote.

He has the largest fleet of trucks in Nigeria.

BlueRayDick:
Most manufacturing conglomerates in Nigeria like Dangote , Nigerian breweries , Nestle , etc do not carry their products by themselves anymore ; instead they sign contracts with logistics companies like TSL logistics , BHN logistics , GPC energy and logistics ,etc .

The aforementioned logistics companies sign contracts with the manufacture companies undertaking to carry their products for them safely to the customer’s destination . By so doing , the risk that should be on the principal manufacturer is transferred to the logistics company .

It is the headache of the logistics company to hire drivers , ensure they have proper training , ensure they deliver the good to customers with little or no issues in the course of the carriage process . The principal like Dangote , Nestle , NB , NBC , etc have their own logistics department breath down heavily on the neck of the logistics company.

They ensure the logistics company has insurance for all goods carried on behalf of the principal and ensure that the carrier (logistics company ) settles liability to the principal’s customers first before any further story .

Unfortunately , a small logistics company may not be able to meet some of these conditions

Dangote carries his goods by himself. He has a company specially for that; Dangote Transport.

Multipro Enterprises, the makers of Indomie and Hypo are the owners of BHN. Na BHN dey carry their load

Nigerian Bottling Company (CocaCola), are also the owners of AG Leventis. Na those ones dey carry Coke up and down

Many of them have mastered the art of separating the Logistics from the Production.

But you are correct that many outsource it to others

Something is seriously wrong with that guy.

The mechanic must be an illiterate then. Diesel engines do not need plugs sef as the piston powerful air compression is enough to ignite. Diesel ignites a little stronger than CNG which gives a little less torque which affects a how it picks up speed.

The pressure of fill up has no effect on performance though.

A friend who uses it only complains about long queues which is understandable given the massive difference in price.

If I travel long distance, I will definitely go for it because profit margins will be greatly increased.

Lol. You sound like a theory man. It's good

Firstly, reliable mechanics for diesel engines are scarce. Maybe they are available for trucks, but for buses and cars? It's a nightmare

I have a Sprinter and my Diesel engine is OM642. There's OM651. There's OM654. There's T1N. They all are Diesel, until you have a technical issue, and you'll be jumping from workshop to workshop. Diesel engines are much more than knowing it has powerful air compression.

Secondly, refill pressure matters. I entered GIG and I discovered their JET Mover buses use CNG. I was interested and engaged the driver. He was the one that told me that refill pressure affects performance, as the gas will easily burn.

We drove into a NIPCO at Benin. They said the refill pressure was low. He immediately drove out and went to buy Petrol and continued his journey.

Just do your due diligence when you want to jump into any of the above options oh. What you read and see has more hidden details than reality

Why is this guy so pained?

swiz123:
If you are into transportation, why aren’t you using CNG? Install at least a two 100L cylinder and take advantage of the CNG station spread across the country.

The only disadvantage from what I have learnt is an insignificant loss in torque.

1) Loss of torque, especially if the refill pressure is low

2) Long queues everywhere.

And the moment you install CNG, mechanics become scared to work on your engine.

Amoto94:
Na so I go form agronomist dat year make our community-based organization lose money for farming we invested about 2million 10years ago, na only 5 bags of maize we see. Our cassava cows and fire chop dem, our maize erosion wash dem away. Na so dey begin talk say we committee members don chop money. That was when I realized analysis is different from reality.
Business people are trying

Chai. So sorry

Sometimes, the first lesson we learn in our experience is usually the hottest.

Every business looks good on paper. It is when you enter, you'll know why people aren't much or haven't thought about your idea. But still, that your idea would blow if you can learn to stay and understand the failures.

chrisooblog:
Crazy. I think the fuel regulators should find a way to build schedules for announcing fuel adjustments. I know South Africa usually does a monthly announcement which at least gives business owners relying on fuel time to hedge and adjust.

All these price fluctuations is what will make the price of commodities stay high, because people must hedge by all means.

What exactly is making diesel high? Petrol is the same, Diesel is high.

pocohantas:
They are good at this. Even the girl wey build "Lagos Life" game, they have calculated $1m in two days for hee.

That was how one was saying if you buy a Sienna for transport, you will do 5 trips in a week...

5 trips?

If you even do two, you don try. Do you know the queue you'll meet at the park waiting to load?

Many of them are just online experts...Zero knowledge about the business

raumdeuter:
Baba na so me sef chook head inside trucking in Naija many years ago. They told me companies need this, contracts plenty. I Didn't make a single penny

I only knew the Geography of Nigeria from places they told me my trucks broke down, plus numerous sleepless nights and phone call credit to Naija.

Did I tell you I have 2 primary school friends who died from HBP between 2021 and 2023. Both were into logistics.

One of them the wife met him in the morning slumped in rhe living room dead beside his laptop that he uses every night to track his trucks every night instead of sleeping

One lesson I have learnt in Nigeria is that you must be involved in any business you decide to enter.

I don't mean monitoring it virtually. I mean physically. You must understand the risks, equip yourself with knowledge. Learn and relearn.

Anything short of your concentration is going to end in tears

raumdeuter:
The reality of running a business without money to launder or masterclass Akintayo to sell is tough in this climate

Na when people get on TikTok and SM to yarn that you do this you make this to deceive newbies. I just shake my head say when you ready to tell us the truth about your business we go tune in

I saw a content creator talking about how juicy truck transport is.

Mere listening to him was pissing me off, because you will know that this one has not even traveled with a truck before, talk more of knowing what it takes.

If you see how he was calculating money wey e never make ehn...I just dey laugh.

The ones in his comment section were just asking how to start.

KingTom:
Your own better, I wan wanted to be Nigerian and waylay the man as a contractor so I put 1,950 against the 1,880 price only to wake up now and see 2,300

Na wa!

Wetin cause this spike in price now?

raumdeuter:
I know say you dey like criticize Men of God, dont you think its Time to visit that pastor wey dey spit inside fuel tank

I woke up to an alert of their balance, and I was even happy that this client na sweet client

Na when I enter station see 2,100, I Begin boil.

GloriousGbola:
Sorry man

Thanks Chief

After doing all my calculations and accepting a trip using 1890 as my Diesel price

Only to wake up this morning and see 2,100 where I am

rabazamba:
The funniest part is that he is going to bed this night feeling like he achieved one huge feat something wey Dangote dey run on a stead

I tell you

Whoever advised Tinubu to announce the 100 naira discount is not a good person
