They didn't discover anything. Land speculation, food speculation, dollar speculation, even love speculation has been in existence in Nigeria since AD1950. Everyone takes advantage of their neighbors to make wealth here. It's not a discovery. They learnt it here

And of what use is a land when there’s no money to establish on it?

The country so broke and they’re just doing everything to survive first. When things comes back to normal, they’ll be alright..

There are resources under that land that worth more than the price the land has been sold. Zimbabwe is a land of gold and diamonds. The problem with African leaders is mental and physical laziness. Rather than explore, extract and process those minerals into finished products, they rather sell raw and get enough cash to embezzle that can take care of just their linage

Upload pictures let me see if it's what I am thinking

This governor is a brainbox and silent reformer. Most illiteratesbin edo don't rate him because they are used to road and gutter constructing governments. But this man came on a higher pedestal building Edo power plant, Edo refinery, Edo ports and now toll free emergency medical services. Of recent he has tried to correct his lapse in the area of road construction which the illiterate masses disdain him for. He is one of the first governors to setup a bill to create state power regulatory company. Edo has tiny resources and this man would have done better if he had just 20% of the financial resources delta state has. He is picking a technocrat to succeed him unlike the cursed okowa who picked an agbero to destroy delta from where he stopped his destruction

What's the difference between tribalism here in Nigeria which Yorubas and Igbos exhibit towards other tribes, and racism which eastern Europeans exhibit towards blacks (Yorubas and Igbos)? Sometime I just laugh when I see discriminators of other tribes complain of being discriminated against by other nationalities

Yorubas and Igbos already discriminate against each other so why do we find discrimination strange? Is it because it's coming from the Chinese?

Thank God you said if the government is sincere, so do we have to gamble with 28 trillion to confirm if the government is sincere?

Besides 28 triliion will benefit Nigerians more presently on power than the coastal roads....

28 trillion will serve power to all Nigerians that will be used at the same time everyday, but coastal roads cannot be used by all Nigerians at the same time everyday.

I am not saying the coastal road is bad but in order of priority, which is more important now to an average Nigerian?

OBJ alone spent $16 billion on power with nothing to show for it. Buhari also and GEJ signed billions of dollars on power sector especially that Siemens contract - there is nothing to show for it. Now power has been decentralized so that state and private sector can create what they want. We should not expect further waste of money from federal government along that line but push our state governors to set up their regulatory companies and invite private power companies from abroad since you and I know our politicians are not sincere with the power sector. For now roads and railway especially have not been decentralized to allow private sector participation, so let tinubu work on the road. Road is the only project our politicians can do with up to 50% success rate. Building companies or investing in power historically have always been a waste of public fund. The money has been always looted 100%. But for road atleast 30 - 40% of the money would be spent on the road. There is partial sincerity in road project implementation compared to power sector project with 0% sincerity

Brendaniel:
Does that justify the government spending about 28 trillion on coastal road over electricity?

Which one is more important to an average Nigerian now?

if the govt is sincere, the coastal road will speedup urbanization of riverine communities which have been abadoned by federal government for 60 years. These communities produce the oil used to develop Abuja and Lagos. It is fairness to have an access road into these areas instead of putting only barracks there to suppress the locals while forcefully drilling the oil. Road is a dividend of democracy and every Nigerian including those coastal or riverine areas have a right to benefit from it just the way city dwellers have benefitted. Road drives urbanization especially a major federal road of this magnitude. The accompanying railways too - you should see land developers buying lands along these areas, building hotels, petrol stations, bus terminals, houses and beaches in less than a decade. Everything shouldnt be about urban dwellers alone. New cities have to emerge, villages have to be urbanized. The cost of transportation from calabar to Lagos will reduce because from the riverside, the distance is shorter. Also, tinubu is not a fool. The biggest challenge with dangote refinery is the distance from Lagos to where raw crude is. In the future, rival refineries such as Bua refinery located in the heart of the Niger delta where the crude is located will be more profitable than Lagos refinery. Tinubu is only trying to help Lagos based refinery compete against the rivals in the Niger delta by shortening the distance from warri to Lagos by truck. By canoe, ore in Ondo to sapele in delta is about 30 minutes, you can't compare that to 2 and half hours of the present road. The railway component is because of crude oil transportation - he is not interested in opening up Niger delta ports, but in transporting it's crude to lagos. Tinubu doesn't really like pipe because of the excessive vandalism

Even the southwest ie Yoruba people who are internationally known financial fraudsters, yahoo boys and internet fraudsters have not built a training college yet neither do they have colleges for human ritual and other criminal activities they originated here in Nigeria. So I wonder why this eket man would go so far

Oboy. Maybe they are working just to get fame because 10k doesn't qualify to be called salary

i have anger issue against peter obi, he can never become president

If you are intelligent enough you would know by now that you are just suffering from Igbo hate. Most of you in the south west were trained to hate the Igbos and SS people by your immediate community. You cannot be free from this bondage as long as you don't know what your problem truly is - the problem is not really obi. Within you, you passionately hate other Igbos too and you don't want to see them shine or outshine you. You will rather wish them death. That's jealousy and hate - 2 in 1 package. You are really suffering o

Infidelity is the curse of the south west people. The grand reason for their marital woes. Any lady marrying from there will just be used as a sample for toto experiment and dumped for another

Shitty look, shitty music. Only people with low IQ from same zone with these shitty musicians hype the kind of music they produce. I Know lots of Dem musicians lacks good command of English and it reflects in their lyrics. The worst of all is portable. I don't know why that zone keeps producing shitty people with shitty looks who make shitty musics and lot of energy wasted hyping same
