It's not about liking the givernment in power. You people always like to change the narrative when it doesn't fit you. First of all, it's not coaster road, it's coastal road. That's said, Coastal road is a very good project, people love it, I love it. It's right behind my house. People's problem started when there was no bidding whatsoever for the project. Secondly people complained that the government is focusing mostly in Lagos. That's people's anger my friend, not whether it was a good project or not.

Thanks for the correction, yes Coastal not Coaster! it was a typo. My concern is how Nigerian miss their focus, we can demand accountability without destroying the Project.
We like it when we see outside, but if it's in our country we talk down on it and discourage it. The Coastal Road is one of the multi-state project in Nigeria Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Cross River States, a total of 7 States. This project was not build for Lagos State alone It will open up over 700km of our Ocean Coast lines for tourism, promoting blue economy and generating employment.
Why should anyone attack this project. Yes we can call for accountability but let's preserve the project.

You have just admitted that he is a collosal failure.why not stabilize the economy so that students can pay their sch fees instead of giving out loans

See a farmer forming to being an economists. Most time, there is no point engaging with people like you, who either has extreme hatred for the president or is completely ignorant.
Aside, nobody has told me what they will do differently.
Are you going to keep the wasteful Subsidy
Or Retain the multiple deceptive exchange rate. You haven't said a thing than ra.nting

HIGHESTPOPORI:
With borrowing,and high fuel price and insecurity everywhere,don't forget high cost of governance

Imagine without those reforms, you will almost be a refuge by now. We were already borrowing to meet salary during Buhari.

poiZon:
If we go by ur response, then i think u r part of the problem.
Buhari in 1984 shutdown jakande's rail initiative that could have spiral into what china is building today, but in 2015 same u n ur likes thought it wise to vote in a serial economy killer and a grandiose failure to lead Nigeria to eldorado.

Again you betrayed yourself. So in your words,your problem is with PBAT and not the Coastal Road!

kutashi:
You are quick to mention the one Buhari shut down, only to forget Lagos-Ibadan and the cargo one from Lagos port to Kaduna initiated and completed by Buhari! Record fastest gigantic completed projects ever in the history of Nigeria! But your focus was on the coastal road by ...!

Always hypocrites!

I can't still see what you are saying. How does finishing Lagos Ibadan expressway justify shutting down the Metroline 42years ago. My point is that Buhari wasn't visionary 1984,the same way some of you are not visionary about the Coastal Road. That's my point.
By the way, as laudable as the Lagos Kaduna kano Niger Republic Rail line is crucial, Buhari couldn't finish it because people like you were abusing him that he's building Train to His country Country

MrSly:
How much is the cost of the coastal road owe kilometer? Can you comprehend it? To unusual govt is corrupt and uses overly inflated cost of project to enrich themselves. Nigerians are aware and so they no longer enjoy the trust of the people hence the reaction they receive. Again they have misplaced priorities. How many Chinese people are beheaded after being kidnapped from school? How many are sacked from their community? Does ghost drive on coastal high way.

It's the lack of projects like this that leads to extreme unemployment the leads to crime.
The over 700kilometer costal road will undoubtedly open up tourism along that route employing millions of people. You guys are so shortsighted

Offpoint1:
We criticize because we know the projects are means of stealing for our politicians, it'll never be completed during their tenure or in 30 years time.

You see how long it take China to complete this project? That's less than 4 years... Nigeria would have taken 50 years and cost 100x

Is that why Buhari killed the Metroline in 1984?

Mbanda:
List tinibu legacy projects in Lagos let's verify.
Enough of Obi this, Obi that.
Meanwhile tinibu is currently the president of Nigeria and we never see anything meaningful do, where did all these "he built Lagos" come from?

Tinubu is less than 3years in office, he's done well with his reforms and road infrastructure. Plus others like the student loans etc

franchasng:
Which coastal highway?


The one that Tinubu's government awarded to Hitech, a company that Tinubu's family have a stake in? Is that how Xi Jinping awards government contracts in China? If Nigeria was China, Tinubu and his entire cabinet will be languishing in jail after a nationwide protest rocks the nation demanding his immediate removal for constitutional violations, nepotism and bias leadership!



The coastal highway project that was awarded with corruption and violation of our national laws which states that every government project contract must pass through public bidding and contract vetting and awarding processes that involve hundreds of contractors submitting their bids and quotations, but your coastal highway got awarded without public bidding and with over inflated cost that can even complete this very largest railway station being talked about. Please if you dont have something meaningful to say, just scroll.


Meanwhile, Chinese government didn't abandon their dilapidated old railway stations to start this new railway station just to score some cheap point and to steal China money from the overpriced project. Abeg pack one side, we are talking about serious nations governed by sincere leaders that are working for the communal prosperity of their nation and you are talking about Nigeria led by a cunning man ruling Nigeria with bias mind and nepotism to favor only his people and region against other parts of the country, is that how Xi Jinping developed China? Have you ever visited China before? I have and I almost cried like a baby even without knowing. Plz dont get me upset pls pls

Typical of your type. You haven't addressed my point.

We Nigerians are quick to appreciate good projects but yet kills such initiative in our country!
1. Buhari in 1984 shut down the Metroline that the government of Lateef Jakande proposed for Lagos.
2. Some Nigerians are today criticizing the Coastal Road and the Lagos, Sokoto Road.
We need to support transformative project irrespective if whether we like the government in power or not. It's our resources, it out life time

Honbright:
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly cautioned the Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, against interfering in the affairs of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, advising him to focus on his ministerial responsibilities and allow party structures to manage internal matters.


According to sources familiar with the development, the President specifically invited the minister to a closed-door meeting held in Lagos. The meeting was also attended by the National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda.


During the meeting, President Tinubu was said to have expressed concerns over the minister’s alleged involvement in the political activities of the party in Ondo State.


“I appointed you a minister, but it’s obvious you’re getting distracted with politics. Recently, you were accused of disturbing the peace of our party in Ondo State during an interview on Channels Television, and now your actions are proving that allegation right,” the President reportedly said.


Sources further revealed that the President advised Tunji-Ojo to concentrate on the administration of the Interior Ministry and avoid actions capable of creating tension within the APC in Ondo State.


The development comes amid growing political discussions surrounding the internal dynamics of the ruling party in the state.

OP, what is your source, this looks like a lambagini.

LagosOrigin:
They will all work against tinubu re-election in 2027, that's for sure.

Yet they were not strong enough to secure their own election even at party level.
Aside, the positions are not birthrights

Sonnobax15:

Informants come trust kidnappers pass Nigerian police

Cuz you fit pass important information to police,make the same police later label you an accomplice to the crime itself,say how you take know

Instead of you as an informant to dey wait for your compensation after giving information to police,na handcuffs you go later see as reward

What is your intentions with this comment? Discouraging citizens from cooperating with the law enforcement agencies or what do you stand to gain by this very insensitive comments

tnerro1:
Too late to defect, all the parties have submitted their membership register to INEC. If your name no dey the register submitted, you can’t contest on the party’s platform for any position

One of the best decision of the new Electoral Act

BarrElChapo:
You must be a very small boy 😂

How small? 8 years as Governor, 16years as Senator, that is a total of 24years!

Goo0dHardDick:
Atiku is the most fool.ish politician ever in Nigeria.

Instead of allowing the south to complete their 8 years before handing over to the North. Now it's going to be kwankwaso taking over immediately after Obi's 8 years

After Obi's 8years. I see you

Isobug:
But you declared him dead 2 years ago? Maybe second killing shaa.
I knew something like this must sprout out.
Meanwhile assuming the US provided only intelligence and surveillance as you said, wetin come remain again? Person provided intelligence in your own country, hmm

Give the Nigeria Military their dues on this achievement

FSBoperator:
You leave registered party members go dey meet your so-called Elders to do what for you?

Instead of locating every registered party member within your constituency which you can easily do by getting their addresses and phone numbers from the party registry, you went to meet some retired but active 419ers masquerading as elders .

With this direct Primaries, every aspirant must open a campaign office within his constituent zone and engage mass volunteers to manage phones and go on a door-to-door campaign meeting every party member

But instead yiu go buy drink for some useless elders who probably are not even in the APC

One of the best commentary in Politics section of Nairaland

YoungLionken:
This one sef wan start. Women ehn, especially when they mean you.. "Hell hath no fury than a woman being scorned"..

In addition, as a man, always avoid a woman who is big on negativity but very small on appreciation. She never reminds you of how you've been there for her either through joke or seriousness, but quick to renew a past wound...

How do you even wish a potential father of your child evil? She's obviously a bad woman. What If tomorrow it's proven that CP is the father of the child

1nice:
This post is necessary please to remind those insisting to sabotage southeast Igbos from getting 2027 Nigeria presidency.

Where is the justice, fairness and equity if an Igbo can not be the president of Nigeria in 2027?

We are waiting for the war!

Again you refused to speak to the real issues, instead you've defaulted into the old format.
The truth is that our revenue is bleeding and TSA must be implemented strictly and transparently.
But to put this paper as a review of Tinubu government only is a disservice to the hard work that has gone into putting this document together.

gabbytabby:
Una too lie

You people should allow an honest discussion about this beautiful policy paper.
By spinning it for political gains, you have destroyed what should have been a beautiful contribution to national dialogue by the legend Olisa

DatNiggaDaz:


Looting 20trilliön all in the name of City boiz poverty movement is politics 201

Data boiz and delusi0ns

Try and read before coming to comment and state where the policy paper accused the current government. The paper is challenging the decade long systemic leakages in our Federation Account Remittances and I completely agreed with him
You guys should allow this policy paper to survive. Let's have sincere contributions

givedemwotowoto:
The money has been disbursed for reelection campaign.

After election, they’ll impose more tax to recover the borrowed money.

Nigerians will see shege x5 if they don’t fight to remove this tyrant from office.

Try and read, and stop been lazy. He reviewed revenue leakages across over 15years, not a Tinubu government issues only.
I agree with him, what you guys are doing now is politicize it and destroy the intention of the policy paper.
He has requested that each Presidential Candidate should specifically speak to how this will be fixed. Fair enough, you guys should allow this policy paper to form the basis of a genuine election discussion

Justnation:
This is horrible 20 trillion?, tinubu and co has stolen Nigeria dry while punishing the ordinary people with unprecedented inflation and poverty

Hello,
Where did he accused the current Government in the policy paper? Simply because y.ou c.an't read.

We should start by inviting Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to account,then Buhari, then Tinubu.
And if this document and policy paper is worth it's paper, it should have done more investigation and send petition to Efcc instead playing politics.
What are we supposed to do with this now.
220million Nigerian to start investigation.
This is Politics 201
But if you read the conclusion, it says it's a product of decades of Revenue leakages and all Presidential aspirants must clearly speak to it in concrete terms. No vagueness.

osuofia2:
He should have just replaced him, instead of creating another agency that will be gulping scarce resources

The function are completely different. The span of the insecurity is huge
