......Government need to do something on these akokos, I don't even know how those roads can be fixed to double-lane, coz many houses will go down.

[color=royalblue]But there are empty lands just behind those houses.

It is not as if the place is conjested and the houses are skyscrapers.

How those narrow pathways are Federal roads is shocking[/color]

.....Agba Influencer turned humans to Boli - "roasted alive." Asssssssiiiiiiinnnnnnnn. If this ain't intentionally done to farm engagement then he is forcing the empathy.

[color=royalblue]Obi dey use plane. Pardon his mistake.

Okene-Falele-Lokoja is good, even though na one lane we dey use, and that's where that accident happened.

Na when you reach that roundabout and decide to face Ibilo and all the Akoko gbogbo-eru in Ondo, that's when you will weep for Nigeria. [/color]

raumdeuter:
BTW influencer of life don turn fortune teller

Even though the cause is yet unknown but it must not be unconnected with bad roads and insecurity?

Abeg shey places wey bad road and insecurity no dey no dey get accident ni?

Person wey invest state money in beer, does he know that intoxication is a leading cause of accidents

E fit be say Peter Obi sef dey use style hustle for Elon giveaway by farming with senseless tweets

[color=royalblue]Which insecurities?

Financial, spiritual, mental?

Something has to be done about these Hausa guys that move around with dagger like it's nothing...second person in my area that Hausa guys are killing in the space of less than a week, the first was a bike accident, the perp ran away when he threatened those that tried to catch him with his dagger, and the second murder was straight up daggering over a disagreement.

[color=royalblue]Na OdumoduBlck cause this one oh.

The ones wey dey my area no dey carry dagger[/color]

......we are paying ₦4.5T in total, we drop 1T as part of Agreement for the 700km Road Project not just for 47km.

Tell me Excuse the Contractor gonna come with?! Term and model are clear, the project shouldn't exceed 8yrs bro.

[color=royalblue]Lagos Ibadan than exceeded almost 10 years nko?

We have committed more than the contractor and that is the first level of fraud in the whole deal.

If the contractor pulls out after 47km nko?.

Person wey wan fund 70% never drop shi shi.

Ooohh! Chineke nna![/color]

Oasis003:


.......wrong! 1 trillion ain't paid fot just 47km, but as part of funding for the entire project. Its a clear message to the Contractor that FG mean Business.

It will cover beyond first phase.

[color=royalblue]If you drop 500 naira, you already know your share.

Since you know the 2nd phase isn't out, and the 1st is 47km, as a broke country, why drop 1 trillion?
[/color]

Oasis003:
......₦4.5T and it will be spread across 8yrs budgets.

[color=royalblue]You have paid 1 trillion first for just 47km..

So this road will not even be completed in the next 8 years?

[/color]

[color=royalblue]Nigeria no get money
Nigeria is broke

Of all the problems choking the nation, FG pushed 1 trillion for a brand new road. With just an initial phase of 47km?

My maths is bad, but that's like VI to Epe or nearing IjebuOde

That is what we thought best to tie our 1 trillion on.
[/color]

Oasis003:


X don chop Ban for clarifying the Coastal Road Project is an EPC+F Model. FG counter-fund is 30% while Contractor will be responsible for 70%.

Note: the Road will be tolled and first phase is 47.4km.

[color=royalblue]If the road will cost 15 trillion naira, how much will 30% be?[/color]

GloriousGbola:
i dont know what the rationale for the coastal road is - but in the current climate, if FG was to expand roads in ogbomosho we would see the same brigade calling the government wicked and callous destroying peoples ancestral home or something like that

but keep in mind that construction projects generate business and boost economy

a lot of subcontractors will be hired to provide different services

any mamaput within the axis will make money from selling to workers

izzou, better get people who sell solar floodlight on the phone - because they will def install solar floodlights on the road

depending on where you source it is between 200 to 400k for a single unit.

all the cement geng may hammer on the project as well .

add ironbender guild join.

[color=royalblue]I agree that good roads boosts economy, but sometimes, a road is just for people to pass...

I saw concrete roads all over Ebonyi, but nothing is there. Absolutely nothing

Buhari did IjebuOde to Okada. How many industries have relocated there because there is good road?

That was why i asked the question about ports, because the new reason is that it will link to all the ports. But is any activity happening in 99% of them?

We do not have the pockets to commit such for just one road. There's no need making it look like paradise will begin after the completion. [/color]

TemporaryHansel:
Delta has a seaport.

[color=royalblue]Okay. My bad.

So what exactly is happening there? Apart from something related to oil, wetin dey happen there?

popizaino:
Since you don't know,i will be patient to enlighten you.


The Oyo to Ogbomoso road is very critical to the economic of Nigeria. That you even asked shows how far you are from the reality of everyday nigerian. It is the road that connect the entire food producing North East like Kebbi,sokoto, and North central to the southwest all the way to lagos port. If groundnut pyramid still exit in Kano,be rest assured that it will pass through this route before landing in lagos for export.


The oyo - Ogbomoso axis is were trailers,tankers,containers get stucked for days because it is bad and a single lane.. They are yet to connect both towns together to the express. It has been this way since the days of OBJ. A reasonable person will ask when they are finishing this road before championing an entire new road especially someone from there.

[color=royalblue]Apart from being bad, it is very narrow.

If you cannot calculate well, when trying to overtake, na hell fire or heaven you go end up.

So many roads are like that.

In most of the numerous Akoko in Ondo, you'll see federal roads looking like streets. [/color]

liveLongNprospa:
You know this talk about redirecting business from Lagos because the apapa port is what brings alot of business dealings.

Exactly that's why.
Which I can understand but what I don't fully get is why shipping companies prefer apapa.
Even the newly constructed lekki port is still not as active as expected from industry gist.

So yes to mainly take business away from Lagos.

[color=royalblue]We once had that arguement here in 2022, and i said that almost no shipping line will want to do anything with another port apart from Apapa. The reason is because our waters are not safe.

Well, i was shut up by the Defensive midfielders of Buhari, on how our waters are the safest in Africa.

But that's beside the point.

If the country is import dependent, is the reason for the port to drag shipping lines with Lagos?

Will any shipping line have enough cargo from California to Ondo? Or when it berths in Lagos, dem go use badges begin carry am?[/color]

[color=royalblue]Please i want to ask an honest question. Forgive its foolishness.

What exactly with the rising number of seaports have in this country?

Lagos get three
Ondo wan get
Delta wan get
Rivers get
Akwa-Ibom, Cross river , blah blah blah

And Nigeria virtually exports next to nothing. I read sometime ago that vessels leave Nigeria almost empty. Just thousands of empty containers.

So what exactly will happen when everyone has seaport? Na to hustle importation numbers abi na another thing?[/color]

[color=royalblue]3 Body Problem!

Awesome![/color]

popizaino:
Didn't open.

But i know Benin down to Ekpoma to Irua was used to be very terrible down to Auchi. Then roads around Akoko edo,ibilo-town down to Okene were also very terrible. All FG. But na coastal road be our priority.

[color=royalblue]Still terrible as at March 2024, when i passed it[/color]

raumdeuter:
where does the 1st Niger bridge start and end?
Where did the 2nd Niger bridge start and end?

How many km was saved?

[color=royalblue]You are the one that brought this example here. Stop turning me around.

Because it is new does not automatically mean it will bring much economic growth, and that is what I have just shown you.

If you put a toll on both bridges, the old one will be profitable[/color]

raumdeuter:
How much was spent on 3rd mainland bridge and how many km difference did it make

Do you think 3rd mainland bridge was also an economically foolish project

[color=royalblue]How much was in our coffers when we built 3rd mainland bridge?

Start from there first[/color]

raumdeuter:
Are people taking the 2nd bridge ? If they are not then I will admit its of no use then so they can blow it up

[color=royalblue]The Old Niger bridge connects Onitsha, Owerri, Aba, PH, Uyo blah blah blah


The new one connects Enugu, Ebonyi, Benue.

Or do you think everybody started passing the new one because it is new?[/color]

raumdeuter:
So you have to back up your claims and show how 1 trillion will fix all the roads in Nigeria.

The Agriculture in the North still feeds most of the country till today and they have roads to transport it to the market

[color=royalblue]I didn't say all the roads in Nigeria.

And yes, it is foolish economically to spend 1 trillion on a road, just for a 100km difference. [/color]

raumdeuter:
when they did Lagos-Ibadan rail, 2nd Niger bridge and 3rd mainland bridge people were not jumping trees to Ibadan nor swimming across the river too

So what is the point?

[color=royalblue]Well, the old Niger bridge is still much more busier and of more economic impact than the 2nd One.

You can ask around. [/color]

raumdeuter:
The main purpose of cutting subsidy is to invest the savings in Infrastructures, The infrastructure is being built, yet a section of the people are still complaining.
If 1trillion Naira is too much, how much makes sense to build a coastal road? How much was used to construct a similar coastal road in other countries

The importance of what the road will do to those states it covers makes economic sense to me. That was the same way 3rd Mainland did not make economic sense, Ikoyi link bridge does not make economic sense, 2nd Nigeria bridge did not make economic sense, Loko-Iweto bridge does not make sense until it does

[color=royalblue]Are you aware that we are not riding horses, paddling canoes or jumping trees to move from Lagos to Calabar?[/color]

raumdeuter:
That is because its Southerners who are more critical of road that will help them more

Northern opposition to Buhari, how many of them do you see criticizing the Abuja Kaduna road?

What is exactly the point of the criticism? Or we just critiize for the sake of it?

[color=royalblue]Maybe if the Northerners were critical enough to ask Buhari to invest that Niger Republic road money into their education or agriculture, they will be better off today.

1 trillion will fix every Federal road from the SW to the SS and back. Why waste it on one road?

Lagos to Calabar - 800km
Lagos to Calabar (Coastal) - 700km

So just to save us 1 hour of driving, we spend 1 trillion?
[/color]

raumdeuter:
Where do you get that I have a problem with Buhari from?
I dont have a problem with Buhari and he did what he could for his people and the entire country while he was doing project for the North he was doing railway for Lagos Ibadan, doing 2nd Niger bridge both important projects for their various region

[color=royalblue]So why start with a Southerner and Northerner comparison? Abi na to whip up emotions?
[/color]

raumdeuter:
I love Southern Nigerians

Buhari despite country broke built plenty road for North, even build enter Niger republic

A southerner dey there wan build road to connect most of the southern states but no na fellow southerners carry placard for head to protest

Later in 10yrs they will say why does North have better roads or infrastructure than us

When Buhari dey construct road, did we see Northern opposition like Atiku or Kwankwanso condemn it


Amaechi building Abuja to Kaduna rail, no Northern opposition
Amaechi building Lagos to Ibadan rail, Na southerners condemn am pass

Okay Tinubu carry the money go build Northern road since Southerners are satisfied and have too many roads already

[color=royalblue]So, you now have a problem with Buhari now, after drumming for him for 8 years?

And this is you trying to bring a ethnic plot into the whole thing? Are Southerners protesting because they are building a road?

The outrage is because we are broke, but we are using 1 trillion naira to build one road. Just one. Does this make any economic sense to you?

Buhari don comot, and suddenly e don dey tribalistic. [/color]

Itsrm:
All you need to do is listen to the reaction of the people there when Umahi made his statement and when she responded to know which one qualifies as a joke.

[color=royalblue]So why did you say she was rude?

What exactly did she say that was rude?[/color]

TrebleChamp:
A better angu 🤔

[color=royalblue]Sokoto to Badagry Highway is warming up.[/color]

Itsrm:
Anyone who thinks this statement was rude IMO has a low sense of humour. Umahi was simply joking. Even the lady was smiling initially.

[color=royalblue]But she was not joking too?

She asked Umahi to tell people around him to inteprete.

Why can't this pass off as a joke too?[/color]
