If my memory serves me right I remember earlier in the life of this administration Umahi said on TV if given 7 abi 17 trillion naira he would fix all the roads in Nigeria.so how come just one road is taking 15 trillion?

You don't want tax reforms

You don't want economic reforms

You don't want Dangote Refinery.

You don't want PH, Warri, Kaduna refineries

You don't want Lagos-Calabar highway

You hate Sokoto-Badagry express.

Even second Niger bridge, you were sad,

Train nko, you kept crying

You don't want improved GDP

What you want is "shambles"

What you want is bad news

All you pray for are bandit, BH and IPOB attacks

All you wish for is for people to die

All you like to hear is "Nigeria has happened to you"

Yet you go to church to pray for a miracle,

You go for Umrah and fast for your personal turnaround,

Sorry!

May PBAT succeed and Nigeria will be great 🇳🇬
❤️

Please make no mistake, it was the president and his men who were fighting against Dangote refinery all along because of their Malta blending facilities. The Opposition has supported Dangote refinery when the presidency wanted to kill the dream when the facility came on board.

Still don't understand the rationale for embarking on this highly controversial and expensive coastal highway from Lagos to Calabar,
when we have a similar existing poorly maintained road that runs from Lagos-Ogun-Ondo-Benin-Warri-Bayelsa-Port Harcourt-Akwa Ibom-Calabar.

After 2years, only 30km out of 750km was ridiculously commissioned...
From what the salesman President is saying doesn't it begin to occur to you that this project may just be a private enterprise geared at generating income.....

In time to come.you will begin to hear, 'my road is the only way to get to.....'. This may just end up becoming presidential.gratuity.

Personally I will be observing if attention is given to the so called alternative roads because they may end up being the competition that must be put down.

Not a bad idea if we can recall some people's ancestors to come and pilot this country.

Olodo, who gave the go ahead to sell crude in naira to dangote? Who actually sold the land to dangote? Who created the free trade zone to facilitate the conception of the refinery.

Some of una don chop bitter leaf so tey d tin dey affect una anus wey una dey take think 😄😄😄

@beey2 - You wrote -

Criticising without evidence is a type of malady. Hold your head with your two hands and shout "oh my God please heal me and deliver me of madness"

I wonder what you mean by this. I said Chagouri is a convict. Google is your friend. He was convicted in two countries - USA and Switzerland.
That is a fact. You can as well seek healing if you need evidence of something so well known.

Asiwaju is on the right track; nothing can please the habitual wailers and losers. The only thing they won’t criticize is anything coming from their messiah.

Naysayers like you said same thing in the 60s when the third mainland bridge was to commence,they stopped at nothing in slandering the govt of the day and castigating the project,but look where we are now several decades later,imagine Lagos without the 3MB.

Why is the media so silent about the fact that the awardee, Chagouri, is a convict in two countries?
Are you building infrastructure or prosecuting a convict?

At the pace the job is going, it can't be finished in 5 years.

Delta to Akwa Ibom has very swampy areas and sandfillong some of those creeks alone will take time.

Let the President and his handlers learn to tolerate dissenting voices.
They should not tolerate dissenting voices. They should totally ignore them. Those people are distractions. A great man have a purpose while others have just wishes. When you are going to the market for a particular commodity, your focus should be that commodity and not the noises and nuisances all over the market.

You observed very well, AkwaIbom to Delta is very swampy and requires sandfilling. It is not only sandfilling, coastal roads require many layers and time for sedimentation and piling. You cannot just rush, it is against engineering principle.

The Lagos to Ondo area is very swampy also and expected traffic very high.

30 kilometers commissioning is a landmark achievement. It is like a Ship moving against tidal wave and strong storm and very unfair winds in the high sea. Lagos area is full of obstacles - political, tribal , physical and legal obstacles. Tinubu moved against the obstacles and forged ahead .

Only Goodluck Jonathan and Tinubu presidency can do this project. Jonathan wanted to start the Lagos Calabar Coastal Railway project in 2014 but postponed it to his second term but lost election. Buhari appraised it and abandoned it . Only Coastal States former governors as President can start the project. Since Jonathan left government, the route in Lagos and Ogun have been taken over by Real estate and telecom infrastructure development. If Tinubu didn't start, the project may never see the light of the day.

David Umahi tried. He is an Engineer. Even if 300kilometres or 400 kilometers is done at the end of Tinubu's presidency, the remaining states would fight for the completion.

Oh, so for you, it is normal for governments to award contracts to people convicted internationally for fraud?
And you believe that doing such things will progress Nigeria?

And you cannot see that when you are awarding such a contract to a convicted fraudster you are preparing the ground for fraud?

Enjoy. You people will get the kind of country you deserve.

Nonesense hailing . How can a president in his right sense start such wasteful project in an ailing economy after borrowing the country to stupor?

Economy- BAD
Borrowing - Too much
Other roads- Still BAD

Why not face every other roads that are bad in South South?
Rubbish talk!
Can you name the so called other Bad Roads that was never Awarded by Previous government of your PDP,yet the Money 💰 🤑 for it gone, EMBEZZLED BY your party now partially an LP?
e.g East- West Roads,
-Lagos Ibadan--Express Roads-that was once given to a Lawyer,etc?
- Benin - Ore Road 🛣️ - was once Awarded to a PDP - Mrr Fix it-what is the Outcome of that Road till today?
• the Bad Economy was Caused by your Emiefiele - -who run down the CBN then and till now- the NTrillions Money in Ways and Means Couldn't be Accounted for.
-Also,the Multi-Billions of Anchor 🔱 Borrowers Farmers Money is gone forever ♾️.

Mr Man,stop your rubbish talk,for you don't see anything good in this government!
Which President Men are you talking about - can you name them?
Tinubu would not Stop Dangote,when he was the very one that brought Dangote to Lagos,gave him Lands,etc.
We all knew that Dangote was fighting the Many Cabals in Oil 🪔 Industry.

[b]Is it not funny that dav umahi is from the east and it's his people that are discrediting his effort the most just because of PRES Tinubu. The road is very good. [/b]If you are on the island and needed to go to asaba for example, you don't need to go through third mainland Bridge enroute LAGOS ibadan express way down to sagamu any more.
