"Valued at over $200 million, according to Onwuanibe, the Landmark site is home to over 80 businesses and provides more than 4,000 direct jobs. It also generates over 2 billion Naira ($1.5 million) in annual tax revenue"

They’re prepared to lose $1.5 million annually in tax and 4000 jobs in these hard times. Why, because Tinubu and his all Yoruba advisers are real dullards who will not stop until they see the country in ruins. Even the CNN reporter is shocked! Funny thing there is, they think they’re dealing with the Igbos, but I bet over 50% of those 4000 jobs sent into the unemployment market will be Yoruba.

This is one of the most senseless comment I have read in recent time.

Sure. Lagos should compensate him and execute the fantastic highway.

Lagos is not the one doing the road. It is the Federal Government.

Umahi should compensate everyone on that corridor that legitly got the land before they thought about coastal highway.

I heard it has been in the work for years but not just a reality yet.

Oh MR Onwuanibe is one of the Panelist in Lion Program

Hopefully Mr. Onwuanibe gets properly compensated. Considering this is a first of it's kind project in our clime.Definitely High risk high reward project will be multihub (west, east and southsouth) one stop shop tourist centre trailing the coastal highway by Landmark company . If this works out, this will be a huge payday for Landmark team. major challenge for such project will be Financing, security and acquiring prime location for easy transportation of tourist (local and foreign).

Am wondering if it will pass through ore - benin highway or will there be another route?

The only thing they know as project in this country na road, flyover, school, hospital and market. Anybody wey enter office na these things e go do. Even if roads don Dey before, them go talk say dem wan expand am. These people can’t think outside the box to plan and execute life changing projects, now they want to put someone and a lot others out of business to build something that at the end of the day won’t serve much of its purpose same way that wike built a lot of flyovers that re not helping to decongest the gridlock in those areas.

is the road worth the economic value of the resort? What is the rationale for the wanton destruction? May God help us in this country

Bro, thank God the supervising Minister of works who is supervising the project is Igbo.
We should learn not to read tribal sentiments into every move of the govt. The country can't develop with this viewpoint. The government has asked him to file his claims.
Let us put a stop to victim mentality. It is well with Nigeria.

nahhhh we just want stable electricity

And the good roads.

They are not mutually exclusive!

Yes, they are always targeting Igbo business. God punish the minister of works who is a fake Igbo man. Na Amadioha go kill am and all his supporters. 😎

Rabies dog on the loose!

Lol... Are you been sarcastic or you really don't know the economic values a super highway connecting Lagos to Calabar will bring to the nation?

If you really don't know humbly ask me and I wld explain to you but if you are just being sarcastic... Fuuckkkk off

Really sad the road will affect that beautiful resort. I watched a documentary on the resort and really fell in love with the great work the man did and it impact on the state economy. However. I think the road is a bigger project which will have far more impacts considering the number of states it will cut across. The man must be properly compensated.

But the original plan did not involve where the resort is situated. That is the major point. The project was conceived more than forty years ago while Paul got the land in 2007. How come the Lagos state government did not know his land was obstructing a major infrastructural project?

Anyway, another day to know that no one owns land in Nigeria.

Once they hate the president their reasoning faculty get switched off!

If you must build a house outside the Southeast, let it be just a living house for you and your family and not more than one. If you must build for commercial purpose outside the Southeast, let it not be more than one and while at it, always think how to move your investments to the Southeast.

They are jealous and envious of you and your progress... Know this and know peace.

The short term plan should be to lease. The long term goal should be to park the wealth outside Nigeria. The die-put-mentality in Nigeria by Igbos has to change. There exist other places across the world to invest and actually OWN properties.

Quelme:
Constant power supply is what we really need.

Security first: state and local council policing first. Since electricity generation and distribution is now decentralised and government and individual efforts can continue there, it is no longer like waiting for FG to tell NEPA to give us light. But now, policing and correctional services must also be decentralised. Because without security, no other things will sustainably work.

Nonybb:
He is an Igbo man. It will be demolished. We've told this people to disregard one Nigeria and invest in the East but they refused

Your erosion region is a barren land. No reasonable person will invest in a place like that.

Energist:


Not really a white elephant, but it will later be abandoned. What's the essences of doing a new route for say Benin - Warri or the East West road? All the main towns are already connected. The project is meant to develop Lagos. That's just it. If the SSers are smart, they should ask Tinubu to start the project from the Calabar end also, with priority given to the railway.

Defective reasoning

MasterTeeUSA:
Nigerians always running to their colonial masters to complain. Why did he not write this in a Nigerian newspaper? Slave mentality

You did not address the issue but rather attacked his personality.

Interesting to note.

Image123:


Don't be unfortunate. He's not the only one affected, many more will be affected and compensated across 9 states. The FG has right of way by law. The man has duly and early enough been given the demolition order, which also urged him to file compensation claims. Stop thinking like a termite.

Could you please mention other places and ill-fated multimillion dollar projects where the owners were given seven days to vacate the property?

YesDaddyTill203:


Niger Delta is now Igbo land?

Ole barawo banza. Unity beggar with SS by force.

You are a bloody fool
Imo state with the largest gas reserve in West Africa is in the Niger Delta, same as Abia state. You think Niger Delta is a collective name for an ethnic group, it’s a geographical location with tributaries to the Atlantic Ocean. Olodo rabata

He mentioned yoruba advisers and left his brother DAVE UMAHI who is in charge of the project.

Again,YORUBA OBEDIENTS ARE FOOLS BEING USED!

Someone is eyeing the place

udomonday:
Nigerian govt is dumb, they can still find a way to build that road without destroying landmark beach, they can build a massive fly over across the landmark beach area and continue their road there after.

The original plan did not involve Landmark resort areas. That is Paul's first and main grouse. The second is the short notice to vacate the property. The third is that he obtained the licence to develop the property in 2007 meanwhile the project was conceived more than forty years ago, and first approved by Jonathan.

"Valued at over $200 million, according to Onwuanibe, the Landmark site is home to over 80 businesses and provides more than 4,000 direct jobs. It also generates over 2 billion Naira ($1.5 million) in annual tax revenue"

They’re prepared to lose $1.5 million annually in tax and 4000 jobs in these hard times. Why, because Tinubu and his all Yoruba advisers are real dullards who will not stop until they see the country in ruins. Even the CNN reporter is shocked! Funny thing there is, they think they’re dealing with the Igbos, but I bet over 50% of those 4000 jobs sent into the unemployment market will be Yoruba.

Please shut up. You are the real dullard. At what cost? That’s the question you should ask if you are not a dullard. That road project will most like attract more jobs than the whole of that resort. Secondly the multiplier effects of the road on Nigerian economy is far far greater than the $200 million resort. Several millions will use the road daily. The effect on the economy is uncountable. That’s how wise people think.

Just watch this thread will be swamped by weeping and wailings about marginalization and victimization very soon

The property value of 200 million dollars is a lie.
That it provides 4000 direct job is another lie.
There's no need to whip sentiments with lies.
He will be compensated.

If you find my broth unsavory, cook yours

Obirodents and IPOB have started wailing, grunting and peddling falsehood as usual. Igbos like to cry ethnic victimisation to have their way, imagine if Bob risky were to be Igbo. The social media would have been burning by now.
Igbos and ethnic victimisation, inferiority complex are like siamese twins. It's better to ignore them, because they will never change.

Oga Gerrard come on now!!! Everybody knows this thing but most live in vehement denial, they've elected to do no serious, deep thinking on it.

Anyway if it means that much to you send me over a couple of Big Breasted maidens for the weekend. I'm sure you have many on a list

Good Luck to Nigeria.
