You want to waste your energy this weekend bah?
Once you hear a person talking like that, you should know you are addressing a born slave with a wild case of Stockholm syndrome.

PHAYOL81:
Good piece there but let's be sincere with ourselves, the new administration is just a year old and with reforms being introduced that are meant to impact a change in our economy's outlook, there has to be a shock. Let's give them some time especially as they're working resiliently to improve the situation.

It is obvious that he does not even understand what cybersecurity means.

OH SHUT UP, with your ONE TRACK MIND.

Go to India. Doctors are doing Japa to US and Canada daily.

But foreigners STILL travel to India for medical treatment.

I know your simple mind cannot comprehend such complex realities.

Dumbasses with free internet.

Olusegun Dada traces the origin of the project as far back as 1955 and explained it didn't kick off in the 1st Republic.

He explained that construction began during President Obasanjo's time in what is today East-West Road. He also said President Tinubu extended the plan from the Epe axis to the Lekki axis.

He explained the funding model which is reasonable.

He further explained the benefits, including expanding tourism frontiers, enhancing job creation and boosting GDP.

Mention one currency that have been in an upward trend since the past 15yrs till date.

Even your Almighty dollar has lost it's purchasing power when your compare what $5 can buy in USA 2014 and what the same amount can buy for you in the same USA today.
Even though the naira has consistently lost values, it not @ 50% yearly rate.

I am trying to point out to you how miserable hatred and bitterness has ruined you, you are here talking about English comprehension.

REDshouse:
The President as a person or leader can operate from any part of the world, the world is globalised and u can effectively rule or lead as far as u are connected by phone, internet or any other means . . They can only be present if there is need by invitation by National Assembly.

CommonSense1967:
The positive impact of the Lagos Calabar coastal road on the Nigerian economy will be huge and generational.
I have tried to explain to some why this is a brainer but they seem bent on looking at it from a political and sentimental perspective.
Even if Obi was President and he proposed this road, I would have supported it with everything I have.

Nigeria has a long coastline and most are not been used to their full potential. Imagine how many beaches will open up from Lagos to Calabar, imagine world-class hotels, imagine the potential for resorts in many areas.


Look at it from the potential benefits instead of the potential delays and costs.

Projects of this magnitude will experience delays, cost overruns, and many other problems. But we must still start it and plan for potential hiccups as we go along. No matter how ell you plan there will be issues but that is not enough reason to back away form it.

Godfullsam:
So according to you, Nigeria should be losing 50% of its currency value every year.

You are wishing this to a country you called your own and where you have children and relations?
See how hatred and bitterness have rubbished your life?

Sprinklepee:
I never wan answer this op now. Why you dey think the coastal highway nor fit work, na people like una dey go against the development of this country yet una go dey blame govt.

helinues:
All those places Nigerians have been travelling to and enjoy such kind of coastal road projects, how have they been doing it that we can't replicate same in Nigeria?

shortgun:
It's truly baffling to see so many foolish people participating on this forum believe whatever Reno Omokri says without verification and it's troubling that Reno Omokri who lacks coherence and stability on his posts still manages to convince some people with his deceitful rhetoric.

Reno Omokri's modus operandi since he put out the challenge is to constantly block individuals who provide proof of schools built by Peter Obi as governor. He subsequently goes on to undermine their credibility with false information and creates the impression that no evidence has been provided....this has been the plan from onset.
Any rational person will not waste any time to see through Reno's tactic.
It's concerning and worrying how many people are fooled by simple trickery.

OUK At 64, The President, Nigeria May Not Have.

by Uche Aguoru

The name, His Excellency Senator Orji Uzor Kalu means different things to different people depending on how you perceive the persona of this successful businessman, politician, former governor, and Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Many perceive him as a tactical, bold, and courageous politician who bares his mind without inhibitions irrespective of whether he is right or wrong, others see him as an enfant terrible with a magic wand that evokes success and dominates his environment.

Others think of him as a man who is always courting controversies and never allows himself to get lost in the crowd even if he has just a partial grasp of the issue on the table.

But my evaluation of OUK suggests him as a hardworking and visionary character who lives his natural self, displays openness, is very humane, unpretentious about life, and is very vociferous, he doesn't hang onto malice and cannot display ethnicity or tribalism.

As a businessman, Orji Uzor Kalu was formidable, influential, and vast, he built his business empire at a very young age and is the owner of a conglomerate that consists of an array of successful companies, among which are Ojitex Furniture Company, SLOK Nigeria Limited, SLOK Vegetable Oil, SLOK Paper Factory, SLOK Airlines, Sun Publishing Limited, First International Bank Limited, and host of other international businesses under SLOK group, he is an employer of labour with thousands of Nigerians working and earning a living under his business empire.

In Politics, Kalu is persuasive, foresighted, outgoing, and confident, he is also analytical and creative, an astute politician with strategic thinking, and an amiable personality.

He became the governor of Abia state in 1999 upon the return of the 4th republic politics and during his time as governor, he pioneered most of the developmental milestones subsequent governors have been building on including the Aba Independent Power Project that is being celebrated across the country today, I can vividly recall how he recovered most parts of Aba from infrastructural decay, parts of cemetery road and other areas of Aba was fully submerged under the mud then, save for the intervention of OUK.

He established an indigenous home-grown and people-oriented security that effectively contained and to a very great degree decimated the activities of criminals and mafia groups that brazenly held the commercial town of Aba to ransom unchallenged, overpowered the police and were even imposing taxes on residents and grounded commercial activities until OUK stepped in, he established and equipped the Bakassi boys that later became Abia Vigilante Services and charged them with the responsibility of returning security and sanity to Aba and Abia state at large and till date we are yet to see a better equipped and more successful Vigilante outfil in the whole of Nigeria.

During his time, OUK was rated as the best-performing governor and Abia was the most celebrated state in terms of infrastructural development after Lagos at the time, he influenced the context in which development could be evolved and sustained and that earned him the moniker "ACTION GOVERNOR"

OUK is referred to as the father of Abia Politics because most successful and less successful politicians in Abia State started under him directly or indirectly.
As a governor he prioritized education and health care and made primary education compulsory and free, Yes, he has his lows as a human but objectively one can attest to his visionary, charismatic, pragmatic, and sterling leadership qualities.

Little wonder he remained relevant even after leaving office as governor and without any political position for close to a decade.

As a Senator, it is debatable if any other senator had attracted more developmental projects to the zone than OUK or outperformed him as a legislator, he has attracted the construction of rural roads across the 5 LGAs, which make up Abia North senatorial zone, he has also attracted construction, and Renovation of public schools and hospitals, and had delivered empowerment items and scholarships to his constituents among other numerous achievements in the green chambers that earned him a recognition as the 2022 Best Senator of the Year in constituency projects.

The truth is that Senator Kalu has always demonstrated deep-rooted concern for the welfare of people particularly the underprivileged.

Senator Kalu is a revered political figure whose opinion on national issues is never taken for granted, a significant personality whose achievements and inputs in business and politics will remain embossed in Nigeria's history.

His Excellency Senator Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is one outstanding stakeholder in the Nigerian project whose contributions to the growth and development of the country's socio-economic and political development have been very significant.

Though often misunderstood, he has always lent his voice to the injustice and imbalance in our political system and has in many political seasons signified intentions to contest for the presidency.

Senator Kalu is very eminently qualified with all the characteristics and qualities of a prepared leader, but sadly he may not have the chance again to be president unless, by some divine arrangement, the present political equation does not favour his ambition given his geographical identity as an Igbo Man
Senator Kalu will be celebrating his 64th Birthday on Sunday 21st April 2024 Let's wish Mmiri Riri Enyi Ndi Igbo, a happy birthday in advance.

See senseless comment.

So they should leave the sector unregulated, untaxable and not harmonize it with the larger picture of development? Ip0bs sha

Jlow2:
South Africa with 50m people re generating above 20k megawatts, egypt is 50k mega megawatts, Nigeria is still below 3000 and they re building highway from Lagos to Calabar with 15trillion just loot away the money, Nigeria is just a shame of a country, why not repair the existing road with a fraction of that money, electricity will seriously drive the economy of this nation, many industries, factories small and medium scale enterprises have collapsed due to lack of electricity , the companies and factories still existing run losses because of high cost of diesel and low patronages because of how expensive things have become, it shall never be well with apc band of demons

Toh

As long as what you are using the loans for are visible, we have no issue

loffyloffy:
Better than the initial proposal for the road. 🛣️

Nobody cares who handles the contract as long as it delivers on its promises and saves the country money. 💰

Hitech has a track record of delivering such complex projects and are willing and able to bear the bulk of the cost, so why should we go to China? #SupportLocalBusinesses or does that only applies to Airpeace?

loffyloffy:
Bigger ..and better 10lanes plus a provision for rails against 4 lanes.

Cost per km 4bn as against 11bn

loffyloffy:
Yet they are building a bigger,better and cheaper (in dollar and naira terms)road, that initialy planned. Plus the potentential for a rail line on that axis.

AlvinOO7:
Criticisms are welcomed…but, this man needs to know when to keep quiet. Haba!
Wait for your turn na!

I am a Christian, I know Israel is not a Christian Nation, but I believe the Bible and as such I believe they are Gods chosen people who rejected God's only begotten son Jesus Christ.

DeepSight:
Look, I don't think there is a point in quibbling about the details - all of which you are very wrong about. This is because Your last line is right.

What you fail to see is that that last line being right does not render religion solely or mainly responsible for the backwardness of Africa.

Many other factors are at play and are far far far more important.

DeepSight:
I am sure I dont need to say anything - you yourself know how lame this response is. The United States is a very religious country and has always been and has always been on the path of steady progress. There is no corelation between the emasculation of religion and the progress of the United States. And Europe has been largely religious throughout most of its progress. Deviation away from religion is fairly recent in historical terms.

Finally you just had to be silent about Greece, Rome, Egypt, Persia, didnt you? You had no choice but to ignore these references.
What these references show is that societies can, do and have progressed with religion.
Thus, its not just about religion as I said.

If anything, it can be argued that religion has in fact contributed much to many societies, in terms of education and charity for example. Most of the earliest universities were set up by the Church, for example. The Big Bang Theory was propounded by a Catholic Priest.

And the fact that I am saying all these things should give you cause for pause because you know just how much I detest religion myself. I am just trying to make a point to you: you are singling out religion as the single cause of Africa's backwardness and that is simply not so. The matter is beyond just religion.

Vulcan24:
Defeatist approach!

Moral did not exist in a vacuum, morals are taught in religion!

Am not sure u are following! Where's the morality that dosent follow a religious belief? Point it out!!

Fo your own good, don't argue to win, argue to learn

DeepSight:
United States is one example and Europe before the late twentieth century is another.

So was Greece, Rome, Persia and Egypt.

Vulcan24:
Are u a graduate? These ur questions are taught in GST courses!
Each subject or profession is an integral part of mans morality, religion and science!

What they produce in each compartment is not independent of each other! The man who made phone if he had been smoking colos at his young age and drinking concoction at the bar who wouldn't have lived or had the education n sense to invent a fone ?

Look at the man who invented Kalashnikov, look at the writings of Plato, book written by Hitler, the art of da Vinci, Handel music....all these great men are products of the embodiment of religion, moral and science. In real times their environment and an interplay of their innate skills developed by education.

Am not supposed to be educating u on the integral functions of moral, religion and science but I felt u are a young man needing tutelage
