Why do ibo people hate this project ?

Because it is a literal direct bridge between SS and SW and they see this project opening coastal communities to development. The hate to see those prime lands being developed and occupied by the indigenes because the see those lands and the entire SS as their future reservation in their deluded Biafra project..


This is why only them and them only are bitterly complaining about this project.

With this road , someone travelling to Cross River from Lagos will totally avoid the SE and for good measure.

Eve someone travelling by road from Abuja to PH will simply drive to Benin, connect via the coastal artery road and be in PH in no time sound and safe.

Why people terming this coastal road as fraud? Who is the person under this trend?
If it is a fraud it should have extended to Edo then.

Individual should challenge their governors to utilise the allocation given to them properly. They can used it to restore the health infrastructures and facilities, manufacturing industries and others in the states.

The route was earlier announced, but unfortunately it did not include Edo State. Today, the difference in length from 700km to 750km is because a miracle happened here. The President directed that the highway must run from Lagos to Ogun, Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and end in Cross River,” Umahi said.
Na trial and error project? No design, budget and contract terms?

Tinubu is God's gift to Nigeria!

He's a born achiever and a visionary like no other.

Tell me, why Nigerians wouldn't want him to continue transforming Nigeria to the glory of God and humanity?

Some people just love to hate him out of envy and jealousy.

Why?

Even with this piece of good news, they would still castigate him, flay him and "roast" him unjustifiably.

Na dia trademark!

Any good news na source of pain to dem.

Na wa for Wire Road o!

Something that had no EIA, no community consultation, no RFP, no competitive bidding, no public notices and no appropriation, what do you think?

There's no project that does not require going back to the drawing board.

So adding an artery link directly to Edo to connect to the coastal highway is now fraud?

It is a fraudulent project from head to toe:

1. There was no EIA

2. There was no community consultation

3. There was no RFP

4. There were no competitive tenders

5. There was no appropriation as constitutionally required

6. It was awarded by fiat by-passing the BPP

7. It was awarded to a crony of the president

8. The awardee is an international convict

9. The price is exaggerated (at one third of the value of the budget)

10. It was by no means a priority and was made one

Wow! See uncommon vision and patience. The coastal highway was conceived 47 years ago by jagaban

History would definitely be kind to Akanbi

Am sure some people will begin serious condemnation because it didn't pass through their doormout

I have warned them, you can't wish evil and see peace. You can't wish destruction and see development, you can't wish hunger and see plenty.

See as the beautiful coastal road will miss some people.

I only sympathies with the rational ones among them, the spirit of their negativity is now spreading, yet they won't stop hating and abusing

My initial impression of the road was that as you ply it, you would be having a view of the Atlantic Ocean from your starting point in Lagos to the end of the highway in Calabar.
But now that it's diverting to landlocked States, is it still "coastal?"
Yes the adjoining roads will link directly to the main coastal highway. It’s a master stroke for opening up the rural roads and connecting the locals to the city highway

Edo state is quasi coastal and is linked to the ocean by the Ethiope river. The koko port in Delta is in proximity to Edo.

Edo people, shey you don dey see your enemies ooooo.

Anything good is anathema to them.

They hate good news. They hate progress. They hate positivity.

Edo people, please take note.

Very soon, the lambanus lienus from agulu will start roaming your state to share 5..5 million as usual when the campaign starts grin

If truly you live in Lagos and have also been to other states, if you are sincere you will appreciate that at least the leadership of Lagos carry human face even though they are not perfect compared to what happen in other states including your state.

Finding it difficult to appreciate the architect of this is something I cant wrap my head around, the hate and envy from outsiders that benefit from Lagos and its leadership is demonic and unjustifiable.

If you are sincere, you will appreciate and celebrate the Coast highway

Alls fair in politics. If you can match politics with development then 👌

This coastal road has been mooted in Nigeria for ages. The Badagry to North road is there as well. No one had the balls to drive it through - so no surprise sections of the polity are upset.

Would be upset too if someone beat me to a vote winning idea 😔🤦😌

It ain't really about the project but about Tinubu. Any project or action that could make the President popular is what they complain about and condemn. The two failed presidential candidates will be pained now, but they cannot openly condemn the Edo inclusion

We the real Nigerians are behind this project, I already drove on it at least 4 times from VI to Jakande and looking forward to using to to Eleko soon.
This is the greatest project in the history of Nigeria. It will open up rhe country
The haters can not see this from the same perspective as you and will soon come for you. How some people can claim to be so oblivious of the economic impact of this laudable project still remains a mystery to me. but thank God, the man PBAT does not even look at faces. He just faces his government and his legacies.

And I do not appreciate the architects of corruption. narcotics and destruction of federalism.

If you are sincere, you will look at all the issues I raised and think deeply concerning the corruption involved.
