Still in doubt? Take a drive to Akampa, Cross River State and see the work yourself.

For emphasis, this is the Calabar section and not Lagos. Folks like the liar above have been going from thread to thread lying that the project starts and end in Lagos. Apart from the Calabar section that’s ongoing, work is also ongoing on the Ondo state section.

Some enemies of progress said it will start and end in Lagos

I'm getting old. I'm now mixing up Operation Seadog and Operation Odion and I can't remember the name of the 1995 operation in Lekki.

I can still remember what happened, but I can't remember which was which.


I think it was Operation Odion (in 1987) that President Babangida flew from Ribadu Road to NNS Aradu in a navy helicopter and he and the service chiefs observed the operation from the deck of the frigate. Nigerian Air Force Alphas and Jaguars participated in the operation and I saw as they flew past the ships.

Now was it Seadog or Odion that featured NNS Ambe? The point of the exercise was for NNS Ambe to land amphibious troops in Lekki and for the troops to invade land from sea.

I think Operation Seadog was in 1985.


There was another operation that I remember very well, but I don't remember its name. That was an army exercise in Lekki. They put up fox fire signs all over the place.

naptu2:
Senator Sekibo's statement that NNS Aradu is like Air Force 1 reminds me of the only time that I saw that happen.

I think it was Operation Odion in 1987. A helicopter flew President Babangida from Dodan Barracks to NNS Aradu and he and the chief of general staff (Admiral Aikhomu) and service chiefs observed the operation from the ship (I can't remember if it was the MiGs or the Jaguars that the Nigerian Air Force used in that operation). We saw Babangida on the bridge with his binoculars, watching as the fighters flew past.

Of course the difference between that and other events is that it was an exercise, an operation and it was held on the open Atlantic.


What we had in 2005, 2010 and 2023 were fleet reviews. A presidential launch was acquired for the 2005 fleet review (this caused controversy in the media because people complained about the cost) and President Obasanjo watched the review from the launch. That review was held on the Elegbeta Channel. The launch was refurbished for the 2010 review which was also held on the Elegbeta Channel. The 2023 review was held on Commodore Channel and President Buhari watched the review from aboard NNS Sokoto.

Ever8090:
Who go come use the road when Gumi boys are increasing their massacre?...

If ask me, Tinubu should suspend every other thing he is doing, including falling down in Turkey and focus all energy and resources to flush out Gunmi and Satan of Sokoto and their boys if not some people celebrating the good development coming up might not witness it in full...

HacheNoire:
Damn! This is massive!

A lot of development will be coming up along that coastal road. Gas station, hotels and shopping malls.
