9jatriot:If you fear God and truly sincere with everything in you, you will know that more than 90 percent of that road has not been completed. I'm just wondering why you should celebrating a road project that only about 15 percent of the road has been completed as if you are new or a baby in Nigeria. Go to rivers state and see the mono rail started by Amechi... What about the Abuja -Lokoja super high way that was also celebrated some years ago without completion today. Common, from your writing, I guess you should be smarter than this. 🤔🤔 |

So, you think its 🆗 to take ¼ of the Annual budget of a country and build a coastal, mammywater highway to be used by twenty thousand motorists, while highways all over the country, used by tens of millions of people have failed? Rehabilitation of such highways will cost less than 3 trillion, but we are using 15trillion to build a single highway |

southsouthking:. Someone that we defeated his own master Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, we humiliated he Obi himself in 2019 while he was hiding behind Atiku the Cameroonian husband of all nations, and when he Obi came out from hiding behind Atiku, we humiliated him again. Now tell me, who is the nightmare? The serial loser or Tinubu that is whipping him everywhere ? |

MEGAWATCH:. Don’t mind him, the money used in construction of that road should have been used to establish more baby factories in Owerri and shops for production of fake drugs in Upper Iweka |
| Re: Daily Evening Rush-hour Traffic On The Coastal Highway In Lagos by simpleseyi: 2:28pm On Jan 30 |
adecz:. Money that used have been used to build baby factories and get plenty girls in there to produce babies for sale to Arab Slave traders. You need medical examination |

9jatriot:The post was justifying the construction of the highway just because cars were using the Lagos end of the highway. And I was saying just because cars were using the highway at that end shouldn't imply the construction of the highway is justified. Traffic congestion has always been a problem in Lagos so any road built in Lagos will always be used to ease traffic. The Lagos State government should construct more roads in Lagos and not using a coastal highway running from Calabar to Lagos to ease traffic. It has never been difficult for other southern states to access Lagos by road. There are already existing roads connecting Lagos to other southern states. So the coastal highway remains a wasteful project. |

One more road does not hurt anybody. Yes, the fact that the road is already useful even though it is not even close to being constructed already justifies the use of the road and a slap on the face of those who opposed it. Yes SS states already have access to Lagos by road so do Northern states, but how many times have you heard anyone condemn the Sokoto Badagry road, why is this one such a headace for you guys?

The APC paid spinners carefully changing the narrative fron the viability of the full 700km stretch to that of the lagos section. Very daft of them. |

| Re: Daily Evening Rush-hour Traffic On The Coastal Highway In Lagos by Nefort: 3:05pm On Jan 30 |
9jatriot:One more road actually hurts when we have other pressing and more important issues to solve. Do we have have constant electricity? Do we have adequate security? Have we repaired other important roads that are currently not motorable? We have to address these more pressing needs before embarking on a far less significant project such as a coastal highway. I mentioned previously that the fact that the road is currently used in Lagos doesn't justify the construction of the highway. The Lagos State government is responsible for building more roads in Lagos State to ease traffic and not using a coastal highway to ease traffic. I don't know much about the Sokoto-Badagry road and if it is urgently needed. If I figure out it is not urgently needed I will condemn it as well. |

If it hurts you, it does not hurt positive people. You do not know about Sokoto Badagry road but you know that of coastal road that leads to SS. Anyway, the same way all these other roads here make us happy: Key projects, often utilizing concrete pavement, include the Enugu–Onitsha Road, 2nd Niger Bridge access roads, and Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway. Enugu–Onitsha Road (107 km): Funded partly via the MTN Tax Credit scheme. Enugu–Onitsha Road (72 km): Reconstruction by CBC. 2nd Niger Bridge Access Road (17.5 km): Dualization and construction. Enugu–Abakaliki Road (36 km): Ongoing construction. Lokpanta–Enugu Road (61 km): Dualization. Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway: Major rehabilitation sections. Enugu Bridge at Artisan Market: Completed reconstruction. Akpoha Bridge, Ebonyi State: Completed construction. Aba-Owerri Road (NNPC Depot Expressway), Abia State: Rehabilitation. Umuahia to Aba Road: Construction project. Angingali-Udobi-Udona-Umo-Uwana-Ubalaka Road, Imo State: Construction. These projects are part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, with the Federal Ministry of Works, led by David Umahi. Nefort: |

This is more of an indictment of the Lagos state government and it's inability to provide for vehicular traffic within it's sphere of responsibility in the Lekki-Ajah area. The Federal government should not be building roads for intra state traffic. It is supposed to be an intercity highway and if it is bogged down by Lagos state traffic, what is the point of having someone driving all the way from Calabar and into Lagos traffic, and what is the difference between this and the Lagos-Ibadan expressway that has become urbanized and traffic prone. If folks are fleeing the Lekki- Ajah freeway for any reason, that is the road that should be worked on. I was in that area over the yuletide and could observe the lack of infrastructure to ease traffic. The lack of overpasses for crossroads and turnoffs, the narrow side streets feeding into the highway leading to numerous choke points. As for the so called coastal road the designers should take a cue from the way highways are designed for Abuja with service lanes for slow traffic and minimal turnoffs and u-turns. It simply cannot have entry and exit points on every adjoining street or else it will go bad in no time. It is supposed to be an interstate highway. PS, it is the same problem with the Gwagwalada area of the Abuja -Lokoja highway and the government keeps on repeating this error. Interstate traffic gets bogged down there because of the mixup between highway and state-way infrastructure. Instead of building a separate carriageway into Gwagwalada from the Airport road long distance motorists coming from Kaduna or Lokoja are forced to share the same tarmac with folks heading short distances into town with unwieldy u-turns and choke points causing serious delays. |

9jatriot:building coastal road around Lagos Ogun axis isn't bad , but from Lagos to calabar is rubbish & waste of fund and can't be completed in the next 30 years, politicians don't see mistake in anything they are doing that I'll benefits there pocket |

wwwihy: 9jatriot: wwwihy:No one really needs special wisdom or intelligence to understand the concept of priorities! Over ₦15 trillion for a brand-new coastal road, while abandoning federal highways that carry 99% of the traffic to rot for years is pure misplacement of priorities. The very short Benin–Warri critical stretch for example that should take 30–45 minutes if patched up, currently steals 2-3 hours of people’s lives daily, and this has been a nightmare for close to a decade. Only a miscoscopic fraction of the cost of the coastal road would solve this and thousands of other similar problems faced by millions. So no, this isn’t about being 'anti-development' or partisan, this is just basic common sense. You don’t abandon serviceable infrastructure to chase shiny mega-projects that may not even be completed in 20 years. Poor prioritization is poor prioritization! I understand where you guys are coming from though, and its clearly not from ignorance. Rather it’s driven by blind political loyalty or possibly ethnic sentiments; you guys just feel a need to endorse whatever the government does while opposing watever the opposition says. So a debate on this is really pointless! |

Non-sens and ingridients..... All the roads that are simultaneously going on, did the coastal road stop it? Diesani is being tried in the UK for money stolen from Nigeria, there is no noise from you guys but the guy who says rather than make money available to be stolen let us use it for projects it then you guys start speaking grammar. Priority ko priority nee. All the roads that are being done right now, did they stop? Key projects, often utilizing concrete pavement, include the Enugu–Onitsha Road, 2nd Niger Bridge access roads, and Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway. Enugu–Onitsha Road (107 km): Funded partly via the MTN Tax Credit scheme. Enugu–Onitsha Road (72 km): Reconstruction by CBC. 2nd Niger Bridge Access Road (17.5 km): Dualization and construction.

So many things are wrong with that road. An interstate road with just 2 lanes ![]() They're even busy building estates and apartments beside the road RaptorX: |

Is there anyone that has claimed that it is up 10%. It is a long term project and has always been so but enemies of the country were/ are against it regardless. MEGAWATCH: |
| Re: Daily Evening Rush-hour Traffic On The Coastal Highway In Lagos by MEGAWATCH: 5:49pm On Jan 30 |
9jatriot:Enemies are people who starts celebration and claiming winning when the football match is just starting. They are not good sports people, they are trouble makers who are not interested weather the match will go in their favour or not. This is exactly the character most of you keep exhibiting for politicians and that's why the keep taking this country for granted. You must do better for your future if you are smart. 🤔🤔🤔 |

9jatriot:Please will you shut up there already? Why is it that anybody who doesn't believe in BOOTLICKING the politicians will be called a name of your choice? Peter Obi has his problems just like Tinubu and all the rest, but kindly learn how to detach yourself from politicians so that you will give a very good judgement. I just hate propaganda either from politicians or from anybody, so you need to understand that. 🤔🤔 |
