Communities located along the right of way of the ongoing Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway have knocked David Umahi, the minister for works, for referring to their ancestral villages as shanties because skyscrapers weren’t built there.

I didn't support this white elephant project, but this is why it's important to make your ancestral homes look decent. If Igbos are telling Yorubas to go and build their villages, it looks like an insult. Now, Umahi is threatening to clean up your communities without compensations and Oladotun Kazeem is out here wailing. 113 Likes 14 Shares |

This öne na small matter. Street Parties or popularly known by the locals as Owambe can be organized preferably after friday jumat Service until early Sunday morning Just make sure the people there are happy. Enough food like rice, amala with stew or gbegiri mixed with ewedu, meat orishirishi like shakky , kpomo lot to drink & good music. Invite Fuji music stars to give live music. The construction can go on in peace at the same time. All we want is peace & development 4 Likes 1 Share

The gods must be angry with this coastal highway of corruption. Never seen a project so submerged in controversy. Government projects are for the people, but when so many voices pick holes in such a project, it means all isn't well. If not for ulterior motive, how would such a big project be so rushed without proper alignment with the stakeholders? 1 Like |

Speaking on Arise News, Kazeem said it is an insult for the minister to refer to some people’s ancestral homes as shanties because he was looking at them from the helicopter. “Where the minister is calling shanties are graveyards of ancestors of some people. And I believe that the minister is also from a village in Ebonyi State; he cannot allow his ancestral village to be wiped out as a result of a statement calling them shanties. “That’s even an insult, in Yorubaland, you cannot call a community a shanties just because you are watching from the helicopter and you believe those buildings so far they are not skyscrapers; they also have the same rights as those that built skyscrapers,” the lawyer said. straighttalk:the lawyer na obedient from agulu 1 Like |
