Coastal highway is good. But this is a misplaced priority. What Nigerians need at this moment is not coastal highway. Almost everybody needs electricity to survive in one way or the other. But I don't think Nigerians need coastal highway to survive.


.. if we can just achieve uninterrupted 16 hours out of 24 in a day, our economy will no doubt improve and experience a boom
By virtue of the new Electricity Act 2023 signed into law by the president, even you, YES I MEAN YOU, can now generate electricity by whatever means, distribute it to your neighborhood and get paid for it.

Electricity is now everybody's business, not FG alone.

Less than 70 km built for a road of 800 km ......best to keep your bragging right for pocket for now! You never even jam the 1000 plus 10 creeks and rivers in the Nigerian delta proper..............best option for the spendthrift in Aso rock is to take the Lagos end to warri and join it to east west road and join the Akwa ibom end at Ahoada to the east west road after bypassing port Harcourt ....save what is left of the 12 billion dollars for an east west rail line!
Hello O!!!

Is the Calabar end being built or not?

Didn’t the Wailers say “e no go pass Eko Atlantic” in Lagos?

Railway is coming with it too

You know what you are doing. You can focus on your games while we monitor real progress of the innovative and empowering coastal highway that will immensely benefit the nation especially the good people of South-South Nigeria. Enjoy your weekend cool
You see, this is the problem with many of you, you can't seem to engage in a constructive argument without resorting to insults.

The reason I asked was simply because I wanted to understand the facts. There's nothing wrong with sharing information about the coastal road project. If you don't have the details, someone else will.

I believe many supporters are part of the problem because some defend the government without being able to explain or discuss its policies and achievements. Supporting a government should go beyond tribal or religious sentiments. If you truly believe in its performance, you should be able to present its achievements with facts and convince others based on evidence, not insults.
Re: Akwa-Ibom Section Of The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road by Amalekki: 3:34pm On Jul 03
If you are truly interested in the details and rationale behind the coastal road you can easily search for it online. The way you write shows you are very capable of basic research, why limit your information search to the opinion of random guys on Nairaland?

More revenue for bandits . All Nigerian politicians are failure . Jonathan should have made a difference but he was a weakling . Tinubu=Atiku=Obi . Stop pushing this stupeed coastal road shitty agenda and stop this hardship and insecurity ravaging the land . Oyo kidnapped children are still with the kidnappers after 50days.

Nah, in the history of Nigerian politics, Obidients are by far the most uncivilized and uncouth. We have never seen their type before in Nigerian politics.
What facts can you use to justify this claim in the context of Nigerian political history
We've seen far worse. Obidients aren't even in the top three of the most uncivilised or unruly mob in the history of Nigerian politics.

So it's only when obi takes over as president that Nigeria will b safe?

So it's safe to say obi is sponsoring insecurity to give the president a bad name n once he enters it will stop
The bolded is nonsense to compare with "where is their cow"?This statement was made by tinibu during his condolences visit to the family of pa Fasorati.

That means tinibu's romance with this people did not start today. No wonder he always give them baptismal name of "repentant" whenever they are captured by the army. Tinibu never kpai or prosecute these terrorists whenever they are captured by the army instead of kpaing them (which is the best way), he would always look for a way of pushing them back into the society and, that is why insecurity is at it's peak in Nigeria today.

What has your state governor even your community heads done to boost security ? Do you have neighbourhood watch ? Security is everybody's business. A time will come in this country when no one will be looking at the face of one president like an hungry child for provision of security, everyone will be on his own. PBAT will make that happen. If you like dont work with law enforcement to secure your communities and keep dwelling on negativities.
This country is being restructured bit by bit but people fail to realize.
The last time I checked tinibu is the grand commander of the armed forces, not my state governor nor my community heads.

Have you not heard the stories of people or youths being arrested by the police or army, for defending their villages against these marauding terrorists?

Are you not aware that a boy was sentenced to death in the north for defending himself against a fula terrorist?

Defending tinibu is not an easy job.

Obi can never romance bandits the way tinibu does. Obi can never send captured terrorists back to the society in the name of "repentant".

.many are arguing blindly for their morribound leaders- who have abandoned them.
If PDP could use 16- yrs in Power- without a Single Road 🛣️ Projects to Commission,All those Leaders should be in Prison by Now -
What happened to ALL THE BUDGETS -MONEY FOR 16- YEARS ⁉️
But at least,we can See What APC government is doing on ROAD INFRASTRUCTURES Development - Across Nigeria Infrastructures
Obedient - the defender of Falsehoods,how Now?
PDP didn't commission a single 100klm road in the whole southern Nigeria for 16years, it baffled me when someone from the south is complaining about the construction of coaster road.

Comprehension seems to be your problem. I've already appreciated the project in the comment you quoted. I voted Tinubu in 2023 because of 3 reasons: Electricity, Economy & Restructuring. I've stated this on many occasions in this forum.
I didn't vote him because of coastal highway. We all have priorities, highway might be yours, but not mine. Electricity is very important to my business. I prefer stable electricity to coastal highway. Most Nigerians also feel the same way. If you do a poll among Nigerians today to pick between coastal highway and stable electricity, over 70% will pick electricity over highway.
And most Nigerians dont know what they want even if it's standing in From of them wearing a hat. You talk like Nigerians are very intelligent people who actually know path to development in details. Let's say you vote for him for the above mentioned reason, What about those who voted for him base on renewed infrastructural development. Are they not pleased or we just talking you. Economy is intricately linked to good Infrastructures. We cant all agree on one thing but am sure that's something we can all agree on.

Let's cross this bridge first.

Power supply can only improve rwmarkably when people start paying a cost reflective price for their electricity.

Presently, its only Band A that is cost reflective and thats why they enjoy 20 hours or .more of power.

HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RAILWAY TRACK PROVISION IN LAGOS-OGUN-ONDO SECTION YET THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR RAILWAY IN CALABAR - AKWA IBOM SECTION?

I GUESS AKWA IBOM AND CALABAR ARE NOT FIRST CLASS CITIZENS, GOVERNMENT KEEP PUTING EVERYTHING IN LAGOS AND NEGLECTING OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AND YET EXPECTING A BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR COUNTRY.

APART FROM MARITIME ACADEMY IN ORON BUILT DURING MILITARY REGIME, THERE IS NO SINGLE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROJECTS IN AKWA IBOM STATE OTHER THAN POLICE AND ARMY BARRACKS DESPITE GENERATING THE LARGEST OIL REVENUE TO GOVERNMENT, NOT EVEN GOVERNMENT REFINERY OR PETROCHEMICAL PLANT.

EVERYTHING IN AKWA IBOM STATE IS DONE BY STATE GOVERNMENT, FROM BUILDING AIRPORT, TO POWER PLANT, HOSPITAL, STADIUM SEAPORT ETC ALL BUILD BY STATE GOVERNMENT. THIS LAGOS - CALABAR HIGHWAY JUST CROSSES AKWA IBOM BY MISTAKE, IF THEY HAD THEIR WAY THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT OUT.🥱
YET FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS BUILDING INTERNAL ROADS IN LAGOS, NORTH AND WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY.

May God bless you that's similar thing I said before I saw Ur post because according to him he taught stable or constant electricity will come for FREE at no or cheap cost.

And then I said stable electricity means high bill or payment for those that can afford it ....

Road without security is nonsense.
So because Nigeria has insecurity, we should stop building roads? Stop ports? Stop rail? Stop power projects? Stop schools? Stop hospitals? Stop housing? Stop everything until insecurity disappears completely?

That is not policy. That is opposition claptrap wearing a safety helmet.

A serious government must fight insecurity and still build infrastructure. The two are not enemies.

In fact, roads can even help security: faster troop movement, quicker emergency response, better access to remote communities, improved trade, more jobs, and less isolation for criminal gangs to exploit.

The logic is like saying a man with malaria should stop eating, stop bathing, stop going to work, stop paying school fees and stop repairing his leaking roof until the malaria disappears.

No sensible person lives like that.

You treat the malaria while life continues.

Nigeria must address insecurity aggressively, yes. But development cannot enter coma because criminals exist.

A country is not governed by pressing pause on everything until one problem is solved.
