If you knew the political statement this man is making with this project and the grumbling from the Nigeria's power bloc most of these ignorant online bandits had shut up with their colored orientations. Go ask when this particular proposition was hatched you will understand the huge ranks this bold Nigerian man is closing for us.

I see so many ignorant people here. So lemme comment devoid of politics

The "Coastal road" being built by the FG mostly runs inland through the coastal states.

It's not really that it runs along the coast from Lagos to Calabar. It is simply a road that connects the coastal states. Most of it will run inland when completed

Also, the main issue I have with the project is the vagueness and obscurity with which it's being implemented

A journalist today asked Umahi whether the environmental impact assessment has been made public, the minister couldn't give a direct answer

Slytiger:
Enemy of development.

U call that development? Because u support BAT no mater what they do. Someone is talking with fact and u call him enemy of development. It's well with you.

Now I can see clearly that Bola Tinubu's supporters have gone bonkers true true.


Just take a look at the countries they are comparing with Nigeria that have no working infrastructure; from electricity to rail to even ordinary security we don't have.


Over 60% of our major highways are completely worn out, Tinubu and his gang of looting criminals did not see the existing roads to rehabilitate and make them world class, it is to start a new white elephant project to siphon trillions and enrich his proxy company HiTech via concession agreement that will make the so called coastal highway to be tolled.



All the countries they are copying their coastal highways and pasting here have solved most of their major infrastructural needs. They have steady electricity. They have good roads. They have security. They have functional modern rail transport. They have subway transport system.


But here is Nigeria with over 70% dilapidated federal roads going on a foolish jamboree of using borrowed trillions to construct a coastal highway that will be abandoned project last last.


It is well with Nigeria, mad criminals with senseless tribal-bigot supporters have hijacked the leadership of Nigeria, Nigerians in Nigeria are in big soup

Oh wow! Then from this map and the intended route on red, show me where the coastal road is.

Only the Lagos part is on the coast.


Road that will be abandoned after passing Ondo

A wise government will link all the coaster road via train to deposit agricultural product to major market like mile 12

Zxcvbnmghtr:
very FUNNY people

The Northerners are the ones that are ,'suppose' to be shouting their hearts out as per, the super project though a Nigerian project, it is a project that is DIRECTLY beneficial to the South at most. The North should be the ones crying bitterly but it is not their nature to wail.

But these BITTER people crying and crying sincerely need prayers to be freed from their CURSE.

Don't worry, by the time Tinubu hands over to the North. The ocean will be extended from the South to the North by the Northern president. You will still cry and cry and cry.

If you add all of their investments in Lagos it is not up to the investment of Dangote in Lagos who is from the North. Empty vessels makes the loudest noise. 😂

your heart is filled with hatred, May you not be alive to witness the next president of Nigeria

White elephant project as usual

What happened to PH to Niger railway 😏

flokii:
I'm not in the mood to school you on "investment" and its many enablers for economic prosperity of any nation. most of you can't see beyond your nose.. Road is a critical infrastructure for ease of doing business and for more investments to spring up around the surrounding area.

Please let me ask, how many road did Goodluck Jonathan or his predecessors in PDP that y'all have been hyping build?.. how many did they repair??.
Hatred is bad I tell you.

Stop arguing blindly guy, u no get Sense that person is teaching you so learn. It's a simple question, have u been able to maintain to old roads? The answer is NO. Na people like una dey make others say Nigeria can never work. U r so blind to see the truth.

so many dont know the great pleasure in driving down a coastal highway with no aim in mind and just enjoying the drive...

Khyrvxjzy:
nigeria has greater gdp than south Africa

most of una funny.does South Africa have light,do they have internet.since morning today zenith bank has not allowed any one make transfers.u don’t see that abroad.why do Nigeria lie copying countries that have planned themselves.the project is a beautiful one but we are not yet ripe for it.That u have a higher gdp than a country doesn’t not mean u and them na mate.even Ghana is ahead of Nigeria let alone South Africa.

can't you see rail line there?

That red line sef no even dey for coast

Las Las billions would be wasted and project abandoned 🥱😒

kettykin:
And what is the gdp of those countries, what is the level of infrastructural development there

JAMB question.

Kepukepu:
There's no way it will make sense to a non-sentimental person that a country with horrible internal roads is building an alternative route with borrowed money instead of fixing the existing one.

It's tantamount to throwing away your dirty plates because you cannot wash them to buy new plates.

You will still throw the new plates away because of your bad culture

Tell these assembly of mad people now supporting Tinubu's criminality in the name of Yoruba egbe kiniko politics.


We all shall be alive to see the end of this funfare.


Our comments will stand as testimony when the time comes

So you are building for pleasure instead of need.

Una don craze for this country, I swear

So you didn't see Buhari that did 8 yrs or GEJ that did 6 yrs as President to convince, it's PBAT that is just clocking 1 yr in office that should fix all the bad roads in Nigeria for you.
Make I no just jam you, I fit shoot you walahi.

helinues:
Those who have issue with the coastal highway should boycott it when it's done.
We no need any shalaye to the naysayers

Beautiful you, brother!
LOBATAN!
If you can't use the Coastal Roads,then,go up the mountain side!

i understand that you have an issue with someone building such coastal highways, and will never see the need for it (even if they explain it to you as if you were a child)... while i am just admiring the various coastal highways that the OP posted.

I don't have a problem with the coastal highway project itself. Even if this present administration wants to abandon previous dilapidated highway.

Some mischievous people just want to turn to whole thing tribal and I'm disappointed in the comment of moghalu's wife, very careless and unnecessary remark. To imagine tmrw she will want to parade herself as first lady of Nigeria.

My main issue as with other white elephant project is that it won't be completed in the next 8 yrs n the next govt will abandon it.
Tinubu has shown himself lacking in political will or financial prudence to pull out such feat.
Its a 15 trillion naira project n this wasteful administration hasn't shown any competence since they come on board to convince anyone except sycophants that they can complete that road within 8 yrs.

So what happened to those who paid the price to have the highway constructed. Is that not sacrifice in vain?

This should be the crux of the matter, not that FG is against Igbo people business.

helinues:
Let me respond only to your last question. For north heh, the presidency can only do little, sebi we Southerners dey at least value lives kinda, it's left for the northerners to put their act together and talk to themselves.

No be foreigners/outsiders dey kill them, na same them dey kill themselves

No bros. U r wrong. I guess you know what a ripple effect is. We are still nigeria and one nation not divided. OK. So if u talk about excluding the north what happens when a northerner rules again? We need to stop this disease called tribalism it's eating us so badly.

helinues:

Be sincere, of all problems in this country, is Coastal highway really our most pressing issue??

The OP need to understand what misplaced priority is. Also when you consider security situation around the country, some projects are better left until security improves

Are Russia/Ukraine drama not entertaining us? Of course there would be ripple effect but minimal.

Their senseless drama alone na comic relief

Kepukepu:
But South Africa hs more money available in terms of IGR and reserves.

bro what are you saying
nigeria have more igr more than south Africa

are you igbo

Vuvuzela or loud speaker?

Countries that work with existing highways not a country where all the roads are broken and all the politicians are thieves...

no, I don't see the need for a project that will last 20 years or may never be finished when the existing ones are a mess. I'm sure every thinking person knows that this is not rocket science.

Maybe I will see the need if they start maintaining the existing roads. We are borrowing the money, we can't waste it because your likes want to play a coastal road just for the fun of it

flokii:
Most of them travel abroad with their eyes closed..

China is building bridge in the sky, while many other countries in Europe have super highways that connect all their cities, with subway system too.
We know the sore losers are only pained that PBAT and his team have hit the ground running and are performing beyond expectations.. In 3 yrs from now, Nigerians will be smiling.

if ignorance was a person. Umahi said the highway will take 8years and what will make Nigerians smile 3yrs from now? BAT supporters low IQ

You have said it all. And that's exactly what will finally happen. Useless government with stupid brainless supporters
