Peter Obi has said that the Federal Government should not build the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway because there are uncompleted projects all over Nigeria. But there were also numerous uncompleted projects all over Anambra during Peter's eight year tenure as Anambra Governor, yet Peter Obi invested in a $30 million beer brewery.

For example, Anambra under Peter Obi, became the erosion headquarters of the entire world. Please fact-check me. They also suffered perennial flooding that kills Anambra residents and destroys billions of properties perennially. Yet, Peter Obi did not complete the erosion and flood control projects initiated by his predecessors.

Lagos had even worse flooding than Anambra, due to the Atlantic Ocean flooding Victoria Island, but Tinubu and Fashola reclaimed land from the ocean, and ended that annual flooding, and even built a brand new city, Eko Atlantic City, out of what was once covered with water.

But Peter Obi's focus was on beer. Perhaps he wanted Anambra people to console themselves while flood and erosion destroyed their communities.

Tbh, the erosion problem in Anambra State and other places would cost those states millions of USD to fix and they simply don't have that kind of money. So, it's best to just create proper drainage systems, plant more trees and avoid rapid deforestations as preventive measures.

Indeed, Reno is absolutely right with regards to the reclamation of lost land (due to the Atlantic Ocean surges) to create Eko Atlantic City which helped to STOP the horrendous floodings back in the 1990s and 2000s that overtook Victoria Island around the Modupe Osikoya Street, Ahmadu Bello Way, IMB Plaza and adjoining areas.

Victoria Island would have been completely submerged by now due to climate change and increasing ocean water volumes. In the 1950s and 1960s, the vast lands at the Bar Beach area still existed but gradually got submerged and lost to the Atlantic Ocean. Eko Atlantic City is a brilliant public-private partnership masterstroke from the then Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State and Gilbert Chagoury's company and that saved Victoria Island, Lekki/Ajah areas from total submergence by the Atlantic Ocean. Though the land is quite expensive to get as of today, the U.S. Embassy has invested in huge tracts of land at Eko Atlantic City and that shows how much confidence the U.S. goverment and others have in the ongoing real estate development at Eko Atlantic City.

‘Obi instrumental to erosion control’[/b]

By The Nation on September 5, 2014

A former Minister of Environment, Mr. John Odey, has said former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi was instrumental to the creation of the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP).

Under the project, the World Bank will finance the control and management of erosion in some states.

The former minister recalled how Obi almost single-handedly pushed for the project, even when his colleagues were lukewarm.



Odey spoke yesterday in Abuja at the official launch of the project at the Transcorps Hilton.

He urged communities to key in into the project.

The World Bank Country Director Marie Francois Marie-Nelly said there was need to seriously tackle erosion in Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu, Abia, Edo and Cross River states.

She called for ownership and domestication of the project, especially in the affected states.

The World Bank chief hailed those implementing the project for their innovation, which emphasises reclamation and control.

Marie-Nelly said: “I have visited Edo and Anambra states. Under Peter Obi, I was pleased with his commitment, which he demonstrated by being the first to pay the state’s counterpart funds of N500 million for the project. Ebonyi, Cross River and Imo states have also paid theirs.”

Environment Minister Mrs Laurentia Mallam said erosion had caused havoc in several states and deprived the people of arable land.

God Thank you for making Reno bring up this topic.

Bobloco:
Reno Omokri is a rabble rouser.

It's now obvious that Reno Omokri is using Peter Obi to create content

Suddenly, Peter Obi criticism of the project becomes something to talk about but Atiku, his boss was the first to criticize the project even went as far as describing it as a highway of fraud

thesicilian:
Peter Obi needs to go and apologize to this man Reno Omokri. This neck pressing is getting too much

Oxb90:
The way this man is going about Peter Obi matter, im fit poison Obi if im fit see am one on one. These criticisms are more of hatred than otherwise.
