Obasanjo is out of ideas, he knows this is a very laudable project.

No be so dem talk for Eko Atlantic, that it's a failed project. Guess what, the US intends building its biggest embassy in the city, MTN is moving its headquarters to Ẹkọ Atlantic, Dangote refinery is having its head office there.

They will talk, but eventually they will calm
If Eko Atlantic takes 30 or 40 years, its understandable.
Not this useless road project that was corruptly awarded for nothing but corruption.

It is a corrupt misplaced priority awarded without an iota of due process and to a man convicted in two countries - Chagouri - a convict in the USA and Switzerland. Go figure.

Oga umahi mk we hear word. The elephant project is corrupt and fraudulent. 15trillion naira for road construction at a time Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. 15trillion that would be shared between Tinubu and his associate contractor Chagoury. If it were In US Tinubu would be been in hot soup by the senate for awarding such contract to his close ally.

I bet you u, Tinubu won't finish that road till leaves office. He just wan siphon money as he used to. Nonsense and ingredients.
If it were in US? Why Obama not in hot soup now even without immunity on top all his recent atrocities?
Same OBJ Govt wey wasted 16B dollars on power sector and yet ended up privatizing it.

Kettle calling pot black b OBJ, mk all of them getout.

Bro, just work on yourself, these people are the same.

Hope it's not this brain you are using to cross road??
See brainwashing in 2025. Most ShophistiWretched lot.
Road transport no de reign pass rail transport in this age. Waste funds on a road on a most swampy terrain to connect SW to the oil rich southsouth; instead of a more profitable rail connection from Lagos-Benin-Onitsha-Portharcourt with a spur to Uyo-Calabar. Who will maintain the less profitable road after Tinubu is gone?

Abegi make we hear word. Small thing if it were in US, every small thing if it were in US…if not for Trump and Elon Musk exposing the Massive fraud in the USA rn, somebody will think you comparing USA with 9JA was the best thing after slice bread and butter. But ofcourse two wrongs dont make a right. OBJ should realise that if he had done sth like ds already, there wouldn’t be any need for Tinubu to even think about it, somebody ask OBJ why we couldn’t achieve half of our developmental plans in every government he held sway as the chief accounting officer as a military and a civilian?

Don’t mind those kids. One of them engaged siding with Obj that this project ($8b) is a waste. I challenged him that same obj spent $16b on a missing/failed power project.

He said ehen, we made the mistake in the past, should we make it again? I said the road is right there for you to see and progressing. Like wtf?

Legacy? Oh yeah, because nothing screams "lasting impact" like a road that'll probably not be completed by the time he leaves office.

And of course, this was totally the project we were all losing sleep over. Who needs hospitals or schools or lights when we can have a glorified dirt path to nowhere?

Baba should respect his old age and rest, other past Presidents and Head of State are carrying themselves with dignity. A man that couldn't fix Ota roads leading to his house. Buhari had to fix some portion of the roads and Tinubu is continuing to fix the rest of it. How do you expect a man that couldn't fix any road leading to his house be happy with a man that's building a road that connects eight coastal states in the country?. He's not only doing that, he is also repairing abandoned roads across the country simultaneously.
Just like his daughter, Iyabo insinuated, I also think the bitterness of OBJ will follow him to his grave. Thankfully, Tinubu does not listen to noisemakers, he is too focused to be distracted.
Again, can you listen to the testimony of Gov Aiyedatiwa about FG projects in his state?. That is what Jagaban is doing in every state without making noise.

The pains of Obasanjo is that Tinubu will outshine him after his tenure. What Tinubu has achieved in south west, Obasanjo couldnt do quarter. Someone who could not fix the bad roads in even south west. Benin- ore shagamu -Ibadan and Lagos roads were death traps, alot of Nigerians lost their life there and Obasanjo couldn't carry out any repair until Jonathan that finish the Benin ore section and started the Ibadan - Lagos section, before Buhari also took it further to almost completion stage. Tinubu has completed it and there is ongoing repairs at shagamu section. Just look at the numbers of roads in south west that Tinubu has started. Obasanjo should go and sit down cos he is not the only former president or head of state. He institutionalized corrupt since return of democracy in 1999. He was the artichect of do and die election with open rigging. A president for eight years could not fix abekouta - ota road, is current abode.
