Omahi is really proud man. The same man who told us he was a billionaire at 25. Person wey I know reach house . Abi no be deacon dave again for Christ Embassy that year? So arrogant.

The person displaying arrogance was Rufai Oseni.
Journalists, all over the World, show respect when interviewing people.

Umahi is not his mate.

Jorussia:
I think this rufai oseni guy need to calm down and stop attempting to always force people to accept his submissions.I blame Umahi for coming to a station like arise TV to engage with somebody like rufai who thinks he knows everything the economy and governance.

Umahi should employ somebody like lere olayinka to engage with people like rufai on his behalf.I used to be a fan of rufai, because I love media interrogating govt and policies of govt.I can't remember when I tune in to NTA.However, Rufai said something in January this year that changed my attitude towards him.He said according to his sources of economists,the naira to USD fx for this year is going to be #2500.I was like is this guy real?Crude oil production was like 1.4mbpd from around 900k in May 2023.From that day I knew the guy was empty and his aim is to demarket the government and misinform the public.

Why does the minister feels Nigerians do not deserve to know the cost of the road per kilometres? Who does umahi thinks he is? The minister is just soo proud and arrogant.

In a sane society like china, Russia and the US, that man isn't even qualified to be a local councillor let alone a minister. We keep tolerating abnormal things in this country

Typical of black people, always shutting down interviewers ... Sometimes I wonder what we define as education...

Question: What is the costs for xx kilometer of road
Intelligent response: in the course of construction, engineers experienced minor land slides, and other difficulties, leading to incurred costs
The incurred costs can't be determined at the moment

How much did you release to offset these unexpected incurred costs?

This is not true Sir. Rugai is 100 percent right with his question. He is simply asking Unah into tell us how he arrived at the budgeted figure given all the factors you described in your post. Or are you saying these factors apply only to Nigerian politicians?

helinues:
Rufai can't be rude to people and be thinking he's always right. His question is not logical.

When you budget for a road project, there are unseen things in the initial plans, that's why the budget is always over estimated

For example, there are new linking roads to the Lagos Calabar coastal highway which wasn't in the initial plan

We too get problem for this country.
U know the amount in budget for that road why not divide it by the total kilometer to get how much 1km will cost and move on.

Every time Lagos - calabar coastal highway
What of the one going to sokoto

oga no fit explain because of the looting behind shared the money

.

The money that Omahi is spending is it his money? Why can't oseni ask or want to know how public funds are spent?

It is a shame that your likes will come here to defend politicians especially on accountability and transparency and even justify why they shouldn't be accountable to the people on how public funds are spent and used in a way that is not transparent, it reminds reasonable, sane Nigerians and men of integrity the level of decay of Nigeria.

You can defend him all you want it's your business.

Oga disabuse your mind and stop thinking in an autocratic way. Rufai is not rude , he is only doing his job as a journalist and you can't tell him what questions to ask you. If you have no idea to any questions you're are asked just tell them , it's simple and stop forming a monarch in live TVs. You ask a journalist to shut up ?

And you think you will get away with it ? Now tell us how that single action has improved the image of the country. Totally uncalled for and absolutely egoistic full of pride and hate for the poor boy looking to earn decent living. Or what is I don't need to report you to Mr president before you do exactly what to him.. sure, this tenure, government and everything will pass away but history will not.

The usual typical pompous arrogant statement, especially from the oppressors: who are you!

Bunch of thieves . Professor indeed. His fellow professor just resigned his position as a professor of certificate forgery . I hate this so called democracy more than anything

Then state the unique cost

Suddenly two professors from the land of the rising sun.
One alleged for certificate forgery as professor of science and technology. The other is a self acclaimed Prof in practice

AMINDA:
Why does Umahi feel Nigerians don't deserve to know the average cost per kilometer of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal road? Tinubu has centered his entire presidency around the road ( bad idea) to the detriment of other roads, and yet, the details of the project are still shrouded in secrecy. How much did the additional 100km to Edo cost and was it properly procured?

Even for a slow person, Umahi's explanation should not be difficult for you to understand.

Go back and watch the interview all over.

Stop defending rubbish.

Stop defending nonsense.

So what is so difficult in giving an account of your stewardship when the opportunity arrives. Would fashola have done that ? So if they ask you to tell them something about yourself in a job interview, all you will tell them is to look into your cv and stop asking you questions abi ? Oga that was a lost opportunity that could have explained in details what the project is all about then the level where the job is , the challenges, the prospects, and the need for more fundings because of the challenges of compensation of land owners who are using court orders to delay your jobs...., unforseen marine challenge just say something as an engineer in practice and not a prof.

Umahi is angry because Rufai had asked this same question again and again.
I remember watching the interview on channels when Umahi ran the cost per km and told him that not all per km areas are the same because some do not have impediments and some do have with varying difficulties.Not all per km will have the same costing.
Everybody knows that Rufai is an obidient.
Umahi is actually doing a yeoman job and he would finish most of his projects during the second term of Tinubu.Kudos to him.

Who are you? He is a humanbeing like you umahii

PARADIZEPRIEST:

WHAT NIGERIA NEEDS NOW IS TO PRODUCE MORE COMMANDO JOURNALISTS LIKE OSENI,TO EXPOSE THE EXCESSES OF POLICIANS AND EXPUNGE THEM TO CLEAN UP NIGERIA

so what exactly is your point? Have you ever listened to Mehdi Hassan of Aljazeera? He did worse to Buhari.

🤡

LARRYOBRAIN:
Hope Rufai too will not jump from the window?
In our culture, we respect elders; whether you are a journalist, it does not change the narrative

so you're saying that his life is at risk?

Jayhome24:
Igbo man and nog just ordinary ignore man Umahi was a governor and now a minister will ear tout like rufai oseni? It's not possible.

Being a Nigerian governor is not as honourable a career as you make it out to be. I suspect quite a few professionals laugh at most of them and are not impressed by them in person. Perhaps you are honouring the monies he has acquired for himself or the way he has used the offices he has occupied to accomplish certain things. If he really wants to know how he is truly viewed he should leave the halls of power.

Even if he is an 'obidient', does that mean he cannot ask questions? When we pay our taxes, are we given discounts based on who we support?

People should watch the full video and stop watching cut out shorts.

Umahi spoke well, he was pushed to make such statement. That guy called Rufai act unprofessional most of the time. He is too fond of himself. He is rude and arrogant and I think it's high time ARISE do something about him.

1Alex:

Mendi is not rude when asking his questions, same as Larry Madowo.

Rufai should go and learn from those 2

Look at Dave Umahi behaving like a God.Omo Ole jatijati.This man knows nothing about life! Can't he learn that he can sleep today and not wake up tomorrow?

Abaca,Abiola Yar adua and Mandela were all once alive but are now all gone!

Very disgraceful minister! All he needed do was to patiently explain himself but when you try to cover up inflated contract and cost of financing a project this is what you get.

God Almighty will change Nigeria's situation one day and give us good leaders.

The way we gives people professors in this cun3 baffles me what is professorial in his behavior now,is he too big to be answerable to Nigerians?he should honorably resign.
