why wont you think like this when all what you read is Tunde Ednut page.
It is not just about building road but tonwhat benefit?
If we fail to utilise those places, it could become another breeding place for terrorist.
This road will open up more areas for development and also reduce travel tome from 13 hours to 6 hours. You will have 7 hours to safe and be more productive . More transfer of product across the country. Do not let us politisize it, why cant he tell the president to stop Badagry sokoto ?

3- Gbosas for you, bro 👍.
You have sense and God will bless you.
Sometimes,you need to stop galvanizing with low lives,so that you can see Bigger Picture 🖼️.
Tinubu is not going to stay on the Nigeria Politics forever,but he is making Positive Impacts for Life 🧬,
•For Example,
- Reducing the Time -Scale Spent,
on the Roads - from 12- hours - to 6- Hours, means,you can even go to Calabar from Lagos and you are back same day! WOW!
-This Excuses started with Obi and followed by Atiku,so we are not surprised 🙀 by their Social Media gaulible audiences!
•To Hon UMAHI:
Please Continue What You are doing - Day and Night,as you Open the First 45- kilometers - to be Used By this December 2925.
God Bless You Sir.
*We learnt that THE WORLD 🌎 INVESTORS GROUPS ARE ALREADY INVESTING-HEAVILY ON MANY ESTATES/ LAND -OPENING 🪟 UP ON THIS GREAT ROADS 🛣️.
•KUDOS TO THEM,
- FOR BELIEVING IN NIGERIA!
NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT IN MY LIFETIME 🧬!
We Shall All See it's Competition and Usages!

They're showing themselves. This road is the main reason the north are not happy with pBat. They feel the road would bring more development to the south. They don't even care Sokoto badagry is ongoing too.
But when Buhari constructed rail way to Niger republic.All of them kept quiet

Even though I dislike Tinubu. As a South South boy, the Coastal high way is Welcome. It's not the reason why insecurity is not being addressed.

Any Northerner who is against the Coastal high way project should go and hug transformer.

For this very reason, Atiku will never have my vote.

They won't make any comment on the Sokoto-badagry road but will keep attacking the Coastal road project.

We are wiser.

Still can't justify the rationale behind this very expensive Coastal Highway, when we can use a little fraction of the money to maintain the already existing roads linking Lagos to Calabar.

Your brain can never plan for the future.

Guy God bless your thinking but some Mumu southerners don’t reason this… that’s just the fact….

simpleseyi:
If you Northerners like, you can continue killing yourselves. City Boy JAGABAN will not carry Juju to go and fight your sons whom you groomed for banditry. E no concern us. We Southerners are securing our borders.

As for the Coaster road that is making you to convulse, you go convulse tire, Tinubu is not Rotimi Amaechi who abandoned his people and built railway to Niger Republic, or Goodluck Jonathan that abandoned the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and the 2nd Niger Bridge, but instead gave me money to you Northerners to build Almajari schools which your children still refused to attend

Corruption is killing our Country speedily.

Like father, like son!! Road construction across the country can go on side-by-side funding for insecurity. Why should other critical sectors stop functioning or receiving funding just because of insecurity? Instead of directing specific questions at the northern political and religious elite on why insecurity is pervasive in the region and spreading from there to other parts of the country, he's busy talking about stopping the Lagos-Calabar highway.

AnonPoet:
The replies to him are funny

Insecurity?
Did PBAT tell the leaders of the Sharia state adopt Sharia criminal justice system. The Boko Haram and its offshoots, the bandits, are gunning for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.

If he had blsned Olusegun Obasanjo who should have nipped Sharia criminal laws in the bud by outlawing the bloody Sharia laws then.

Let the 12 sharia states rescind their adoption of sharia criminal laws so that Boko Haram and its offshoots will close shops.

I he is Wright

helinues:
Ok

They think they can blackmail president Tinubu . When they are tired of killing themselves, they should let us know

No problem... Let your president get his next votes from Yoruba people simple. See everyone go get sense last last.

yes na its sweet to say.. all the resources should go into the security situation that some people in that region even support and treat them like your brothers and kids. the world is leaving Nigeria behind while we engage with some godforsaken people. all the budget should even be channeled into the situation. they should fence the Country from kogi down with electric fence so una fir continue the play.

The road dey pain the man ?

Racheal45:
Nigeria people are not ready for change
Why attack the guy
Watin he talk dey correct Abeg
Insecurity na major issue now
use the money to buy arms for the security down to vigilantes

Dem tell you say Nigeria broke?

JASONjnr:
Out of ignorance, you believe oil is transported by road and not by pipelines channelled beneath the sea..

Out of hatred for this government, you think that the coastal road will not benefit the igbos when in real terms it is to unite the entire south.

Ignorance is when you think that the only operation in oil and gas is transportation of crude..
I hope you know that almost all the headquarters of all the oil companies are in Lagos. What does that tell you about access to the field operations from the cooperate office?

which road do you know that is linking Lagos to Calabar? Name it now before I curse on you.

You still have to be financially prudent when you plan for the future.

There are over 50 bridges from Warri to PH. Some parts of the road are reinforced because of the swampy terrain.
Imagine a parallel Coastal Road that would be closer to the Atlantic.
Definitely it should not be our priority.

People like you will not understand, don't worry.

It's not rocket science. Let me throw more light.

There is an existing road network from Lagos to Benin to Warri to PH to Calabar.

There are over 50 bridges from Warri to PH alone. Some parts of the road are reinforced because of the swampy terrain.

Fuel and Gas is only transported from NNPCL to marketers or from Dangote to marketers...

That being said, the refineries that is functional does not transport fuel rather, fuel is transported from Lagos to different states including your eastern states. For marketers like AARano to retail to your tribesmen. Point is, NNPCL refines crude from overseas and transport the finished goods to sell in Nigeria.

That doesn't relate to your initial claims about the coastal highway.

Again, which eastern state is a field operation for PMS?

Enemies of progress are on the prowl.Just imagine what will happen to the south,if Atiku his father is the president.God will continue to expose the real enemies of Nigeria.I can not understand, whether this one was sleeping when buhari used south south oil money to build railroad to Niger republic, when no south south state has a railroad except rivers.This his careless talk has put a final nail to his father's hope of being Nigeria's president.like father like son.

bayplus:
In as much as I am no fan of PBAT.

Let me give you an insight.

Those who argue that we should focus on the repair of the existing road network fail to realize that as we move everything by road, the existing road network will keep deteriorating faster within months of repairs. 1) Most of our road networks were poorly constructed abinitio,, you can see some of the roads already going bad before commisioning and the resources to fully re-construct them with quality materials is no longer available. Besides it makes more sense to decentralize the roads with new ones through a different routes.

Every truck going from 35states and Abuja from lagos must pass through Lagos -Ibadan Expressway way. No other road Corridor. And for nearly 50yrs. It has been the same.

How long can over-used road last? Especially with petroleum tankers frequent explosion leaving many of the roads in ruins.

While it is ok to repair the existing roads, we need to open new roads so the existing ones will not be over-used.

Imagine if those going through Many towns and villages along Lagos -Calabar highway and Badagry-Sokoto high way will boycott Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and use the alternatives being constructed.

This will free up traffic and make the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway last longer.

Just imagine a family of 10 using one car, the driver will drop the husband to work, come back and take the wife also to work in a different direction, take 3 of the children to different school. Go back to to the wife to take her to Balogun market for shopping, go back and take each of the kids back home, do same.for the husband and when the driver complain the car is over-used and it is rapidly developing faults and the family needs to get additional car, everyone thinks fixing the fault is all that is required, forgetting that over-use will automatically shorten the life-span.

Have you wondered why commercial vehicle engines do not last as much as private ones?

My point here is.

Lagos -Ibadan Expressway was constructed in the 70's. About 50years ago , like most roads in Nigeria, when the population of Nigeria was about 60million, a truly developing country must add additional roads infrastructure to the existing ones every year.

It is myopic to assume that the construction of additional roads is unimportant for economic development of our country.

If anything, development of any town is usually followed after the road is opened.

I can understand opposition politicians condemning it because they see it as a plus or legacy for the incumbent and it is in their interest to condemn everything and anything so the people will have no reason to vote the incumbent.

But for discerning Nigerians, as many roads as the politicians are willing to contruct should be a welcome idea because if they do not use the money now, it may end up being stolen.

If Badagry to Sokoto highway or Lagos Calabar highway is abandoned now, there is no guarantee the money will be used for what some people consider "more important "

Therefore, is it not better to have these additional roads constructed to free up the over-used state of the existing roads?

Thanks for the insight.

Yes the coastal highway has some benefits, but definitely it should not be our priority, considering the humongous cost.

Regarding the problem of heavy duty vehicles on our roads, the solution is Railway transport system.

Arutan:
It seems you are not aware that this coastal road was part of the major project infrastructure mandatory to be provided after the civil war for the purpose of national reconciliation, rehabilitation and reconstruction policy. While the similar RRR projects located in the north were constructed, that of the south , particularly this coastal highway was completely abandoned by most of the heads of state/presidents predominately from the north.
The north never and would never construct this coastal highway as they see that it will widen the development gap between the north and south, instead they opted to concentrate on the north and Abuja. It takes a determined southern president to actualize this project. If it is stopped, forget, you can kiss infrastructure development in the south goodbye because the north will never do it. This is the best opportunity for the south for this project. It will be enough as a major gift to the south by this presidency. My home is directly in the Niger Delta and this project will positively impact our people.

Let's leave the politics of balancing projects across North and South for a while.

Hammylawali:
You’re part of the problems of Nigeria. How can you reason this way?. Are you educated at all?. Developed countries are building lasting roads with modern technology, but you still want to patch roads azikwe, awolowo and tafawa balewa constructed centuries ago. Are you cursed not to meet up with standards?. Dubai’s tourism that is just how many years old, go and check the way they invested massively in new infrastructure, but you still want to fix old roads and be using 13 hrs for a 6hrs journey. Wake up and think progressively and not regressively.

Massive infrastructure without national security will lead you nowhere.

Do you realize that when there are more roads or routes there will be less pressure on the existing roads? Stop thinking like Peter Obi the man is a shallow thinker.

The main purpose is to have easy road access to south south crude oil without the rigor of traveling through the SE states . It a “sophisticated “ political maneuver.

After the construction, the SE can go ahead and have their own country, no one will care as long as the oil is still accessible.

You use pipelines if you want to move crude oil.

but you want badagry -sokoto highway to go ahead.if you have depth you will you supposed to know all the wealth of our country come from those coastal states, but you people still want the area to wallow in poverty and remain neglected.But i and other patriots are supporting tinubu on this, and advise you not to use this road when it is completed

Do you even understand what operations means? Operations does not mean transportation of products.
Operations means finance, maintenance and servicing , HR, marketing, healthcare, supply chain, logistics, security etc. All these are coordinated with Lagos office and somehow needs to be delivered to the field offices in the south south
I am done talking to people who don’t know their left from right.
