Coming from an arrogant block head.. Human development equals capital development dimwit ..

It is called human capital development, Mr illiterate.

muykem:
You are reason like Peter Obi. If Tinubu can conceived Lekki trade fair idea as governor and it comes to pass. What's coastal road as president? Peter Obi has never come up with any status quo change ideas.

dude stop being dense. The project is never for the public interests but for selfist interests, now can you with your full chest bring data on how many jobs LFTZ has created so far and the amount of revenue the state has gotten from them so far. Bring verifiable statistics not wishy washy data

PressMyButton:
Trust me, the president's media team will ignore him as usual. Only an idiot will say a road infrastructure that'd pass through 8 states with the inclusion of train track is not a priority. Pls, someone should inform him that "the presidential borehole" he dug in Zaira has stopped working within two weeks, that should be his priority.

Hahahaha presidential borehole keh. Who dash Obi president

Gandrova:
I may not have supported Obi about his utterances or act before, he is 💯 correct on this. Why embark on a project that would be more than 4 or 5 years period.
It's a foolish project with huge wasting of resources.

This is most senseless contribution so far. Important projects often took more than 5 years everywhere in the world.

Paraman:
I don't have the strength for a dumb argument.

Stop being half clever you are dodging because you will be exposed with the falsehood you are propagating.

Danielnicks:


While I agree with Obi on this topic, note; I'm not a fan of Obi, but I really don't know how that highway is more important than the power sector.

Still this statement you made is just double standards.

I categorically put it to you, every politician that holds a public office is corrupt, they all steal. You would probably steal also if you were there. Obi also stole, so if Obi is a thief and Tinubu is a thief, why the double standards?

Secondly, you said we should look at the economy in the last 15 years, the PDP economy was a padded economy. The most expensive projects and budgets were done during the APC era, whilst the most expensive embezzlement and corruption was done during the PDP era. Kindly do your research before replying me please, because I usually appreciate intellectual statements grounded in fact rather than fiction. I will give an example; Emefiele, is being tried for embezzlement to the tune of approximately $5billion, the highest an official from the APC led government has ever been prosecuted for, whilst Sanusi laimdo during the Jonathan era, cried out that 20 billion dollars was missing from the crude oil account, guess what? Jonathan removed Sanusi from office for spilling the beans. Again kindly do your research well before replying. Thank you.

Thanks man.

Been long I saw a great lines and submission as yours. Devoid of insult and name calling.

But, are you actually insinuating that finance mangement in APC led administration is better than PDP?.

Yeah, about embezzlement....I agree that PDP are pro.

But you see in using unnecessary propaganda to draw down a local economy which on the long run will affect the economy of the State...give to APC

Talk about self induced insecurity?
Talk about igniting chaos between tribes and riding on their intelligency to gain a purpose?

I can't recommend APC for any nation

Are you guys so unintelligent like this? LFTZ has attracted over 50b dollars direct foreign investment. Several companies include Dangote refinery is operating from there. There is no need arguing much with you guys.

Oga give us the detailed figures and stop dancing everywhere. It is a simple thing, you cannot even give us accurate figures. How sure are you that the government is receiving revenue when these guys are specialists at creating SPVs that will siphon money.

What falsehood am I spreading

In 2022 our GDP was N202.4 trillion

In 2023 it was N234.4 trillion

It's projected to hit N296.4 trillion this year.

Make your own research and stop displaying your ignorance on nairaland. In this time and age we have the internet.

You dont believe statistics by the NBS and you want me to engage you in a conversation... I don't have the time to waste on you bro

Oga what is the current GDP and what is it compared to this time Last year? Stop trying to be half clever if it is data i will catch you in your lies.

OBI is right. better than ATIKU

Believeintruth:


Oga what is the current GDP and what is it compared to this time Last year?

Bro, I shared the figures with you, yet, you're asking me this question... Is this a joke or what?

I'm not understanding again o

I shared the figure for 2022,2023 and the projected figure for 2024 with you but you're still asking me a funny question.

Can you now understand why I don't want to engage you boss?

Bro stop trying to be smart it doesn't fit you at all. See what i meant is what is our GDP this April and compare to this time Last year. then we can talk.

professorPABX:


Lagos Calabar Highway Project is a PPP requiring only FG commitment of 15%. Can you get a company that is is ready for a PPP of Sagamu, Ore to Onitsha road or Sagamu to Benin Road, FG is ready to pay the 15%.

You should ask OBI who was an economic adviser to Jonathan to name one Road Project executed by Jonathan in South West? 2. He should name one Interstate road that began from Lagos or any South West State when Jonathan was in power. OBI is a trader. This is a P P P road. FG only needs to meet 15% of the fund. Atlantic City, Lekki Deep Seaport and Dangote Refineries are the only bitterness he can see.
I pity him.

You people have forgotten that when OBI was the Economic Adviser to Jonathan the road from Lagos to Ore was worse than Ore to Onitsha and Ore to East West Road to Portharcourt. The time you spend from Ore to Lagos was almost thrice the time spent from Asaba to Ore. Why didn't he start from Sagamu

You sound like one of the online supporters paid 25k per month to defend the government. I don't blame you sha. Country is hard and man must wack. Here is an article on the inadequacies of the project written by Dele Sobowale (NOT OBI ooo). Maybe you'll now read to understand and not just to criticize Obi.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/04/why-lagos-calabar-coastal-road-might-not-be-completed-by-dele-sobowale/

that Niger-Nigeria project was meant to benefit the north. these politicians are supporting projects that will benefit their regions first. i think this is why ATIKU is against the lagos-calabar project

kokoA:
Inasmuch as I don't completely disagree with him I'd like to also ask him what he said when Buhari/Ameachi began the Nigeria/Niger Republic railway line project, between the two projects which one does he think will benefit Nigeria and Nigerians more?

We are not through with April, you're asking me for the GDP figures, where do you want me to get it from?

Oga i asked you this question so that we look at month on month data. Oga stop trying to be smart, it doesn't fit you at all. Oya bring March data and bring for the similar time last year let us look at the data.

Holluwhakemmy:
Peter Obi always opposing great things just because Tinubu defeated him

This is the mentality of the average batidiot. Zero sense, zero thinking faculty.

Tell me, what's the value of spending billions of dollars on a road while there are other more important things your useless country should focus on?
There are already roads linking Lagos to Calabar so what's the use of this so-called coastal road?

Your country is currently generating less than 3000MW of electricity for a country of more than 200million people. Some university campuses abroad generate up to 1000MW for use only within the campus and the hostels. Instead of your useless leaders to use this funds to fix the power sector they're using it to build a road, and brain-dead fellows like you cheer them on

Paraman:
So Obi want the Government to fix all the roads all over Nigeria in less than 1 year?Mumu man

This is the same way some idiots were wailing about Eko Atlantic City when Tinubu started the project.

and how is the Eko Atlantic city going?. In as much as we anticipated it completion, the project has been abandoned just many of its kind in Nigeria

Thank you for your generous compliments, I am quite honoured.

Let me simplify this for you, permit me to use numbers here; Nigeria dethroned South Africa as Africa's biggest economy since 2013, during GEJ's era and as been at the summit since 2013 till now. IMF projections lately shows that before 2025, Nigeria's economy would be 4th in Africa due to the devaluation of our currency.
Now to put it in perspective, South Africa's 2024 budget is totalled at a $100bn+, whilst the biggest budget ever proposed in Nigeria is Tinubu's 2024 budget at 25bn dollars. In which 9bn dollars would be borrowed. So we can't even effectively fund our budget. Note; no budget since 1999 has been entirely funded by our revenue. They'd always have to borrow, infact the borrowing was so deep that some our debt was forgiven by the Paris fund of 2005. Our biggest annual internally generated revenue was in 2023 at NGN12trn. Whist our budget in naira this year is 28trn. You see how whack our economy truly is? Numbers don't lie

South Africa's internally generated revenue is $80bn.
We are one of the least taxed countries in Africa, it is not magic our revenue doesn't correlate with the state of our economy. Ergo, a padded economy. If we are the biggest economy we ought to have the biggest financial power!

Egypt's defence budget last year was $6bn, Algeria was $5bn, Morroco $5bn, South Africa was $11bn. Nigeria was just a measly $3bn and yet we complain about insecurity, we have more security personnel than these countries but they spend more on security than we do. All we know how to do is lament and complain, not research. A truly patriotic citizen would take his or her time to digest the intricacies of the state of our economy.

Bro, make this research yourself too. I'm not here to spoonfeed you.

I have given you the data for 3 years(2021,2022,2023). If you need it by month basis, go and download the pdf yourself on NBS website.

Ever8090:

I won't blame you.

You have not been to Lagos state before not to talk of visiting Eko Atlantic City. You're in Agulu, writing fable about a place you only read about on the internet.

Pandora paper is always on the offensive

Believeintruth:


Oga give us the detailed figures and stop dancing everywhere. It is a simple thing, you cannot even give us accurate figures. How sure are you that the government is receiving revenue when these guys are specialists at creating SPVs that will siphon money.

OGA give us the detailed figure and stop being dense.

How do I convince Peter Obi and his mediocre crew again. Tinubu came as governor in 1999 and grow Lagos IGR from 500m to 6B before he left, today Lagos IGR is around 50b. The record is there, why is the money coming from? It's also on record that Peter Obi did not grow Anambra IGR by 20% in 8years due to his mediocre mind.

You are one of the reason why a white man will look at us and call us monkeys . Because you guys use tribalism in everything that has to do with Nigeria

Now what he said , be honest to yourself is it true or false? Deep down you , you know the truth

Read this if yoh didn't understand him

“Most of these roads, vital for economic growth, regional connectivity, and overall development, have been under construction for several years if not decades now and are unlikely to be completed any time soon due to poor and unplanned funding.

Wetin Obi no dey question ❓

Lol.. this man is really scheming himself to be loved by hausa fulanos in d north who have condemned the project benefitting the south. Obi should know that David Umahi/ Tinubu will complete it, d way Buhari completed the railway from kano to Niger republic. Obi is just appeasing the North over 2027 project. They will fail

EmeeNaka:
Peter Obi is right. The so called coastal highway from Lagos- Calabar is a huge project such as which Nigeria has no history of completing. That is why they started constructing from Lagos axis, just to ensure that Lagos is completed before the 8years or 4 years tenure elapses. We know about East-West Road that had taken ages, yet not completed.
It is important for Federal government to put in place a plan for adequate funding of all uncompleted Federal Road project littered across the country before embarking on another monumental projects.

I read news paper about the IBB aka third mainland bridge in Lagos in fact the white man from BBC says the project was a mirage that's it was not possible for Nigeria Govt to construct n now it was a story of the past

mrvitalis:

Yes ooh those of you that know governance move GDP from over $500 billion to mere $250 billion


We hear you experts on governance... Kee building infrastructure that can't even break even

U use 1 trillion to build road... But want to give SMEs 50 billion then wonder why our economy is shrinking... Your ignorance irritates me

You people just like to criticize what you know nothing about because your Oga is playing dirty politics,
What is the achievement of Peter Obi in Anambra State that made you to think he will perform better as a president.
South South deserve the best and they have been neglected in the past.
The money for the road is not wasted because it's going to be recoup through toll later .
Other road projects are still going on alongside.
Nigeria deserve great and landmark project like this, it's even small compared to what developed nations have built.
Not like mediocre bore hole project that peter Obi built in the north that looks horrible and doesn't last

Paraman:
So Obi want the Government to fix all the roads all over Nigeria in less than 1 year?Mumu man

This is the same way some idiots were wailing about Eko Atlantic City when Tinubu started the project.

You are the idiot and the mumu , eko Atlantic city is a city not a country.

Nigerians have three major pressing need now and you fools are supporting this clown

The economy of the country is going down
Food price is going up
Fuel price is high and you monkeys are here supporting all this nonsense road thing

Tell us,it's not Obi that said this,bc,I doubt his economic prowess!
Must you follow Atiku,nonsense he said on this Project,concerning the benefit!
Shame!

This man just go on doing his presidential chance a huge havoc with this utterance. Fine we have bad roads here and there that should also be prioritized （infact, many of them had already been）but that doesn't mean some other frontiers shouldn't be opened.
Our road networks is meagre for the vast landmass and population we have, to start with.
