Loquacious Umeahi.., very arrogant.., highly opionated.
Because he is some sort of armchair engineer, he thinks he can bully everyone who dares to ask basic questions about his ministry.

The man is a case. This was the same guy who as the Chairman of South East Governors forum, continued to wail about the marginalisation of his Ebonyi state! I mean, you are the chairman of the governors forum, the longest in that position, you set the agenda, you chair the meetings, you read out the communiques. The south-east does not have a regional budget.

The whole allocations to the states are done straight from Abuja by the APC government, into each states private accounts. No state shares resources with you or directs you on your states policies. Essentially , you are the Oga Kpatakpata of your state. But because you want to inject divisions so you can ingratiate yourself to the folks in Abuja, you had to cry wolf and make your colleagues look bad...

Very anyhow character that talks before he thinks...

KIDfurniture:
The late husband’s was a PDP NATIONAL CHAIRMAN - today the family of the killer is a member of APC & APC ONLY celebrate evil

Aayemojuba:
So the husband family get justice while the two kids become an orphan

TimeManager:
It seems we are forgetting a very important part of this whole process. The President did not singlehandedly approve the pardon. A Presidential committee was inaugurated from across the spectrum and they came up with recommendations which were submitted to the council of state for approval.
Unfortunately, some people read only to comment and get likes but not to understand for future reference. This goes to show the level of our educational systems, producing graduates who are quick to talk but slow to understanding.

-Kiss the truth!

simpleseyi:
So Federal Government College, Ilorin is a Christian school that is just tolerating Muslims, abi?

Pierocash:
Just reading the headline even without opening the thread, I knew it must be from South West .

Brendaniel:
I have answered your question, why are other sectors aside construction failing under Wike, from teachers going on strike, to lack of water, insecurity, armed robbery, kidnapping and terrorism and so?

Doesn't it tell you something that he is only focusing on where he will benefit from....

Brendaniel:
Is it only roads and buildings he came to do as minister, if you wanted a project manager as minister, you people should have just gotten one instead...

Brendaniel:
Because that's where he will eat from, the rest of his responsibility as a minister can rot for all he cares...

Jeffy1206:
says who? 😕

truthera:
Hmmm so 2027 rigging program has official been activated. Amupitan is a yoruba man from Kogi state appointed by Tinubu the president another yoruba man, participating in the next presidential election.... exposed of submitting fraudulent documents in the last electon?

SeeWahala:
I'm just happy that the entire country as well as International bodies and business partners are seriously taking notes of the hypocrisy and tribalism of the average Yoruba man in Nigeria today 🤗

2027 no far, we go rendezvous and compare notes by then

Curious345:
This is good news because the election was taken away from Peter obi and given to bola Ahmed tinubu obi came first atiku came second tinubu came third

Originalsly:
Who is the host? .... who is the guest? When you invite someone to your house ...who is the host? ..who is the guest? Who calls the shots? ..who is in control? It's no o different on any show like this. This guest believes he was in control. Do you expect the host to allow him to run his mouth as a long as he wants to? He was allowed to carry on wailing for 20 minutes... what should the host have done? Spineless people everywhere.

Jeffy1206:
you never see better journalists yet, you de yarn nansense. Rufai was even lenient sef 😏

Smartcitizen:
Only God in heaven knows the kind of background most of you are coming from that holding leaders to account for the people is always seen as an insult.

Please desist from this parochial/ native mindset for goodness sake.

givedemwotowoto:
I think we both agree the ban is illegal. They have state constitutional authority to exist for specific purposes highlighted in the OP, but not to impose or pronounce bans.

Very true as an engineer and professional in my own field, I can answer such question no big deal.
I simply start by schooling Rufia by telling him that alot of dynamics comes to play in costing per kilometre such as the ecological factors: land, swamp, rivers, estuaries, etc, social factors: cost of settlement and resettlement, of communities alone this corridor of coastal road, disruption and management of traffic in areas with preexisting traffics, etc.
After speaking on this and other costs that constitute the total cost for coastal and by extension in kilometre then I will tell Rufia that averagely on solid land with good load capacity this is the amount, on swampy areas that need to excavated and sand filled this is the average cost and so on and so forth.
Then finally I will then tell him that the contract is a living document that can always be reviewed for technical, political, economic reasons for example the coastal road is having an extension or detours to in Edo State see linkhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/thenationonlineng.net/lagos-calabar-coastal-highway-tinubu-approves-100-km-extension-through-edo/amp/).
So my friend, a public servant must act as one. He has the responsibility to answer to the people who's taxes and common wealth are used for such project and paying of his salary through the journalist or the press men. No be him papa work.

We should stop celebrating mediocrity.

Note: Don't mind my typo and other error, just multitasking with 5% attention on this comment

Julius1995:
They make all sort of exceptionally stupid excuse for the captors. Everlasting slave.

symbianDON:
omor! This your line of reasoning ehnnnn.....na wa o!!!

JetApartment:
No, Useni should prostate and say "please daddy sir" can I ask you a question before asking Umehi questions...you have just confirmed what the reporter is ecoing. You will do far worse than Umehi if given a chance to be a Minister, you will even tell all reporters that they should go on their knees before asking you questions like school children because you have made yourself an unquestionable emperor.

Qoko:
You forgot Umahi is public officer and it’s bound to answer any questions even those questions were asked by a 15 years old Nigerian

descarado:
Go and study journalism and charisma. Maybe when you qualify, you will be in a position to ask journalist how to ask key questions everbody want answers to.

A public servant should work with humility. Journalists ask the most annoying questions. If the minister is smart, he can tactically evade the answer. They have pr that tea has the. How to answer questions. This is nigeria where professionalism does not count. A BBC journalist will ask him that and more. For every interview, there is what matters. For that interview, that is what matters and the minister owe Nigerians explanations. Money do not erase low self esteem. That iwas what was ate that man up

Racoon:
My friend Dave Umahi by accepting to be a minister has became a public servant or figure that is subject to public scrutiny. Stop defending irresponsible civil servants who thinks they are gods on their high horses.

BadBradley:
What is correlation between age and levels when a public officer appears on radio or TV and he is being asked to inform the public of his activities?

kayperry:
Are you really asking me that question after watching that show, i will bottle feed you

1.Oseni just gain More recognition as a slaying journalist , Rufai he says it like Nigerians would have say it

2. Oseni gained what millions of Nigerians are not privileged to have, hold public servants accountable

if i was Oseni i would be glowing seeing how i made the Minister so uncomfortable even in his office, naa small e remain he for ask for hand fan 🤣

He did allow Umahi talk, was Umahi really talking abi e wan tryin to show he is bigger, i am a professor cumma learn , you know nothing you are to small did that one come on Air to talk abi to fight

anyilalaz:
Simple question: how much is the coastal highway cost in terms per kilometre?
