The late Sen. Chuba Okadigbo once said, "if you’re emotionally attached to your tribe, religion or political leaning to the point truth & justice become secondary considerations, your education is useless. Your exposure is useless. If you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments, you’re a liability to mankind." …..Or in this instance, to Nigeria. cool

My main concern is that of what economic benefit is this road to Nigeria and was it in the agenda of Mr. President during his electioneering campaign or he just woke up to realise there is need for it?

I criticised the project when it was awarded because I thought that the trillions of naira it should engulf should go into more important industries, chiefly agriculture and power.

But then, I have come to understand that this country doesn't understand what is called a priority and that has made it a big mess!

Broda God bless you for your intelligent reasoning.

The main thing many people who claim to be knowledgeable (Obi and Rufai) seem to miss is that the project is not being wholly financed by the govt. Government is only paying about 10%. Umahi has said this many times but they never seem to hear or want to hear.

Government is paying for the 1st 34 Km out of 700km.

Rufai claims there were 57 active businesses that were impacted. Since he is now the mouthpiece of those businesses, can he list them?

As far as September 2023, talks began with HiTech on the project, where was Rufai Oseni? Why didn't he raise the alarm then, WHY NOW?

While raising the question about Landmark properties and alignment, Rufai Oseni refused to admit whether Landmark violated the right of way. He also did not state whether Landmark illegally utilized the asset in question. He also did not address the fact that only a marginal portion of Landmark was affected.

When the initial propaganda failed, they shifted to EIA and EISA. The Ministry of Environment already said they issued a waiver. But Rufai Oseni, who requested access to the audited books of someone's private enterprise, is not satisfied.

He also claims the owner of HiTech is Tinubu's personal friend. Does he want us to discuss his boss' personal friends and associates? Did they not give media protection to Emefiele, Okowa, PDP and Atiku? If they didn't, why were they hell bent on humiliating Tinubu with their boss even writing to accuse Tinubu of Noriega moment. If there was no personal or business interest for them, why did they take it so personal?

Then they accused the minister of staying in Eko Hotel and Suites; what has that got to do with anything?

On the surface, Rufai Oseni and Arise News have serious questions; but the questions are not balanced, because they have not asked Landmark questions. They have clearly taken a side and they are fighting for either personal or business interests. Yesterday, it became clear when they interviewed a former Commissioner of Police. The conversation was accusatory and not intermediatory. Answers provided by the government are never acceptable to them, but they believe everything the Landmark CEO says.

Rufai Oseni, you claim to fact check everything. Please fact-check whether Landmark rightfully owned that land and whether he was cleared to build there.

One more point to make: you claim there was no stakeholder engagement before demolition. David Umahi sat down in your studio to say that he met with the CEO of Landmark and that they adjusted their plans to spare his properties. You also asked why properties not previously marked for demolition and outside the right
of way were demolished. As a journalist, you ought to be aware that notices of demolition were sent to all affected parties and they complied.

How come only Landmark is complaining?

What is Arise News/Rufai Oseni's personal/business interest here?

PS: When a former editor and a firmer executive director of PUNCH newspapers had a fight over one of them allegedly collecting millions of naira from corrupt politicians and businessmen to give them positive press coverage and kill negative stories, both of them were forced out of the media house. It became clear that some journalists used the media to promote personal and business interests. So if you see any media house seemingly pursuing or protecting someone's business interest, even at the expense of the public good, money is involved.

How come Channels TV, NTA, TVC or AIT are not fighting or protecting any interests? Why certain journalists from certain media houses?

Rufai Oseni asked to see the acvohnt statements of someone's private business. Can Rufai Oseni publish his own accpunt statements so we are convinced he did not receive a PR contract to use his platform to demarket the coastal road project

Umahi hasn't been consistent with how the project will be funded. Says something today and says a different thing tomorrow. That's why Atiku called it a highway of fraud.

The loser of the election is not a futuristic politician. He never plans for the future. Because if he did anambra will be better industrialized, rather he claimed to save money for the states when he can actually invest in infrastructure and business he use to say up and down. Singapore 🇸🇬, Malaysia 🇲🇾 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 statistics is what he keeps telling people, but when he was there he couldn’t invest and attract such ideas to his states.
That coastal road is a great blessing to Nigerian southern states. Watch how investment will spread around that corridor easily, because distances to cover will reduce drastically. Companies that hardly leaves Lagos will easily start spreading along that terrain. We need to build futuristic infrastructure and not stuck to repairing roads of 1970’s.

Obi and his Arise news agents are failures and don’t have good plans for this country.

I have watched his videos, he has said it countless times. If you have watched his videos you wouldn’t be saying that except you just want to cause problems. He said it when responding to Atiku, he said it when responding to Pandora.

The entire project is to cost about $15b, govt is only paying $1b. That is why it did. Or go through the normal bid process.

My views are personal and had nothing to do with what Obi said. I didn't even read his statement on the project.

Do you think Peter Obi will destroy an already flourishing tourism business to award a white elephant project that is presumed for tourism to the most corrupt entity in the person of the the Chagoury brother let alone present a cheque of 15trilliob Naira to the Nigerian people for the project. You see, dodging the real issue here which is for Tinubu and Chagoury to recoup their own share of the Nigerian common wealth which part of it was spent during the election won't make us stop throwing the hard truth on una faces till they are sacked from this country never to step in it again which is bound to happen.
