But doctors in Lagos went on strike the same time in Anambra for a year. And i recall tinubu advised Fashola to sack doctors? Haba stop being dense.
It was a lie
Why are you now using Tinubu as your standard, I think you obidense believe no one likes Obi

That's the problem wit you guys, you guys keep prioritizing infrastructure over human development, infrastructure is good but how do you justify having a second Niger bridge from the government and yet your minimum wage from the same government cannot buy you 1 bag of rice, not even half bag of rice?

Thank God you used the word might for Peter Obi....
There is no assurance Obi will do better,
Jonathan that you all supported was there and he was only pleasing the north and leaving out second Niger bridge and railway for South South.
You people are just pained because Obi is not the president,
Obi can never do better, just name his achievements as a governor in Anambra.
He performed below expectation and his people began to insult him,

Shalaye is not even needed about this.

Those who are not happy about the projects should boycott it when it's done.

Simple as Abc
And it’s not going to be done in PBAT tenure. This project will take another 30-40yrs to complete … when the President could have been adding 2500 MW per annum to the national grid.. 10k MW in 4yrs.. Another 4 yrs 10K MW.. in. 8yrs, he would have added 20k MW…it means economic and industrial clusters like Lagos, Agbara, PHC, Warri, Aba, Onitsha, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja, Benin etc will tripple their output.. more jobs and 💰💰 for Nigerians.

This is a just a way to compensate his cronies.. Chagourys in buillding Eko Atlantic… most importantly, to tipple their real estate appreciation value.

You are stating the economic importance without knowing the direction of this road. Poorly tutored agbadorian.


Now show me where this road project will pass through in Rivers State and name the location.


Very senceless comment.....

Make sure you don't run away from my question.

There are evidences even from nairaland
as at when he was the governor where his Anambra people were criticizing him for poor performance.
If Obi could allow doctors asking for better welfare to be on strike for more than one year, he has nothing to prove that he is workers friendly

Beach resort on the Atlantic Ocean in Banjul, The Gambia. There is a newly constructed coastal highway in Banjull, but it is not on the coast.
I am only excited about the rail aspect
No need for that road..its just a waste of fund..
On top N1000/ litre fuel...
We have pressing needs in Nigeria than roads...
Power issues ..Insecurity everywhere.. unresolved...

Travel.and see ?You guys always like deceiving yourselves

Are you fishermen.? Do your people travel on water? or settle by the waterside?
There are Yoruba riverine people in fishing communities from Cameroon to Senegal
You arrogantly assume you are more widely travelled than everyone when the opposite is the case.
The Yoruba are fishing in Ibeno Akwa Ibom and can educate you about the West African coast.
So stop all this textbook deal about mangroves. What do you know that is mangrove have you seen it before.??
Palm Grove in Lagos and much of Bariga oworonshoki and Lagos State was very similar to parts of Bayelsa creeks before the 60s
The Bodo Bobby road is nearly done and the coastal road will favour Bayelsa
From Patani to Effurum, all in Delta state along the East West road, what is the condition of the environment?

Can you build a coastal highway beside an existing East West road? Coming from Bayelsa to Delta state, by the left side of that road, where is the land to build anything? Are you going to build the road in the swampy forest?

Did you even consider the numerous bridges and water tributaries along that road?

What about the swamps and mangroves?

You haven't fixed the dilapidated East West road only to jump up and started parroting your fraudulent coastal highway as the best thing on earth.

Like I said, name the areas this road project would pass through in River State if you want to challenge.

All that stories of fisherman and dwellers from from Abidjan to Egypt is absolutely diversionary.

If they fit remove landmark beach and oniru beach worth billions of naira..Wetin be common village wey dem no fit uproot??🤷‍♀️
That is the problem. Landmark beach is just a place of leisure with direct ocean view with beach sand.

Come to Delta state, Bayelsa state and Rivers and show me something like the landmarks condition.

Ok you want to uproot villagers from their own dwelling places because of road, right?

Go to Bayelsa state you will understand the condition of living in those areas.

Again, Rivers State, they should prepare to uproot Bua's refinery and the Nigerian Ports Authority Including Onne wharf.

The Road was designed by Architects in the Fed Min of Works and I don't know if you are more knowledgeable about road design than them. He doesn't have to show you where the Road would pass bcoz he was not the designer.
Now, go and get proper information from the designers of that road before presenting it here.

I have asked that places should be named because some us knew conditions of the environment along the coastal areas. Some places are impassable. It is a long stretch of water bodies.

That's the mistake you guys keep making, no wonder you people could support Buhari for 8 years and now Tinubu...

How can you say infrastructure before human development, it is human development before infrastructure.

That's why you have so many infrastructures in Nigeria that are not utilized or vandalized by the people the government failed to develop

Oga quash that lame talk, the most important thing is they seem to be the best option among other options
Maybe you don"t understand what an "enabling environment" means .... cos where will that human developed thrive if infrastructures are not readily on ground

So you are against a project that is more tenable to achieve but you want govt to invest money in a power sector that as proven to be a bottomless pit, since the days of OBJ till now do you know how govt have spent yet nothing to show .. power grid is still below 5000mw
Are nigerians not enjoying 2nd Niger bridge today, and did it take 40yrs like the nonsense you are quoting

What ignoramous like you don't know is a good road network have great impact on production and prices of goods which are the integral parts of economic activities

Dude the map you showed is the coastal line and not the road. Secondly can you explain the humongous amounts for this project of it links existing road infrastructures. Thirdly the road is not linking all then ports that one is a lie. It is not linking Koko port, Warri port, PH port or Calabar Port. Even at that there is no economic sense to link all the ports via a 700km road. That one is pure BS. That money should have been channelled to renovate existing roads and build new ones that connect the ports to the hinterland.
Buhari proposed coastal rail. Tinubu add road to the rail so the rail will be at the middle of the road. It is now two in one

Best options, Buhari and Tinubu were your best options ?

Do you buy a car to give your child who has not learnt how to drive yet?
available options is what decides best,

The highest score in a class determines the best student, i.e if the highest score is 39/100 that is the best student ...simple analogy

Yes ! cos my own father gave me is benz V-boot to learn driving.

there is a reason the last thing God created was Man ... think bro

And you did trial and error with the V-boot... the same way Tinubu and Buhari are doing, that's why you are ok with them doing trial and error with over 200 million people

The reason why God created man last is because God's work is perfect not trial and error, going by your analogy then we don't need to go to school, we should practice on the Job with trial and error... God is not Tinubu or Buhari, there is a reason why we learn to do....

And lastly Tinubu was the worst candidate in the entire ballot among all the contestant, wrongest person as candidate, I will be more comfortable with an ss3 headboy as candidate on ballot than Tinubu, the problem with you guys supporting Tinubu is you people don't know him...

Again you want to tell me that Buhari was better than Jonathan?

Read my comment from last year immediately Tinubu was sworn in, the red flags on Tinubu were just too much for any right thinking person not to see....

The story is not diversionary it is to tell you YOU are in no position to tell anyone to travel because the Yoruba are more travelled than you today and than your ancestors yesterda
Stop talking nonsense about mangrove
Do you know what mangrove is?
Do you know what Ikeja or Palm Grove looked like in the 60s and 70s??
Have you ever been to Patani or Effurun before? You are asking people to travel are they on the coast ?

If you aren't embarassingly clueless on this fraudulent road project, begin to name areas this road will pass through.

Besides I gave you specifics. Name the areas in Rivers State this road will pass through since you claimed to have travelled more than myself.

I'm also coming for Akwa ibom and Cross River state respectively.

As for Yoruba people traveling more than others, that is village stories told by stupid people.

1. The road will connect all the 7 ports in Nigeria together

2. The road will serve as alternative to lagos-ibadan expreway.

3. All major cities in South West and South South will be connected together.

4. The 700 kilometer road is not entirely new as there many federal roads within it so it served as way of repairing the bad federal roads

5. The coastal road will have rail, this will assist the new refineries to easily move their products.
