They all know what she said is insensitive and demeaning. But they’ll rather defend it than say nothing.

Biodun556:
Both ends are used to named road eg lagos Ibadan express road. If it starts and end in coast then it is a coastal highway

Don’t give coastal another meaning.

A coastal road runs along the trail of a sea. The one they’re doing is no longer a coastal highway.

Are there seas in the SE?

Them go think say na AI, shame go catch haters of Nigeria. They'll manufacture all kinds of excuses and metrics. They won't do same if the news was negative.
If you notice how Obi was laughing hysterically at people whose business has collapsed in Nigeria in the last interview with Chude, you'd know all those things na gimmick.
Make i see if i fit find one video

This part of Peter OBI’s interview with Chude is living rent free in my head.
I’ve laughed so hard this morning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I didn’t realize that my Presidooo could laugh this hard!! 😂😂😂

Tinubu & his APC urchins must check their Blood Pressure after watching this… pic.twitter.com/tjoHcFKKbJ

Bloomberg had your type in mind. Isn't God wonderful?

You don’t even know what market cap is.

For 8 years you lots paraded Buhari as laying foundation, rebuilding Nigeria.

There is even a clown with phd on twitter back in 2015 that said after 10 years of Buhari becoming president, people in the USA and UK will be hustling Nigerian visa.

Clowns and delusional folks.

Why not mention the market cap for both companies in USD?

Ushame:
Why d bleeching


I be Urhobo man... Many of our people are now half cast....

That skin color looks natural to me.

I don’t see any team beating this French side.

Oliseh, Dembele, Barcola, Mbappe.

They have a formidable attack and strong defense.

Na dem get this World Cup to lose.

Bovis:
This poster has no knowledge of what it took to clean up Oshodi and its environment. I have a first hand account from many stakeholders and my friend Ademola Oshodi how the Tinubu administration compensated them with landed properties, jobs and skill acquisition. Tinubu literally laid the solid foundations that Fashola built upon

Ademola Oshodi is now a senior special adviser to the president and anyone in doubt can reach out to him to corroborate what I stated

LOL.

When did Oshodi start working with Tinubu and how did they meet?

You don’t know him as he’s not your friend.

Everyone is poor and rich.

Poor isn’t just the lack of money. Rich is not the abundance of money.

If you measure education by only how rich you are, then sorry for you.

Elon Musk is richer than anyone alive today, but his rockets and space tech function because of intellectuals not rich men.

Just end the war. You can’t seat comfortably in your presidential palace with your children and wife and go about forcing other peoples families to a war that shouldn’t have ever happened.

Old men will play politics while sending younger men to go die for wars they know nothing about.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
You are trying to be smart by half. Anyone that read your previous post would think Lagos had excellent transport system prior to the governors enugurangers listed. Perhaps, you think you are talking to kids here ba.

Lagos didn’t have excellent transportation system before Tinubu, didn’t have it after him and still lacks it.

The only time there was a sense of normalcy in Lagos was during Fashola’s regime and Ambode’s.

If you claim Tinubu mentored Fashola, why did he have a fallout with him leading to his second term? Why didn’t he do what he knows best, remove Fashola and fly another candidate. Let’s see if the people won’t vote Fashola regardless of the party he ports to.

Tinubu tenure was a disaster in Lagos. Fashola was the man that changed the face of Lagos and everyone alive then appreciated it and didn’t give his credits to Tinubu.

It’s you APC supporters that started attributing successes of Fashola and others to Tinubu during the build up to the 2023 elections. This is because you guys were kids when Tinubu was governor and knew nothing.

When Jakande built his in the 80s, ordinary Lagosians and civil servants were the highest beneficiaries.

E reach APC/ACN turn civil servants can’t even access it talk more of ordinary Lagosians.

Vixlot:
informal term for a large, high-speed highway or freeway with multiple lanes.

Based on this definition, the road you are advertising is a superhighway?

OlujobaSamuel:
Ewo tun ni superhighway
Superhighway is the latest vocabulary in 9ja, we have moved from International Ultramodern State of the Art Largest longest biggest etc

They use those words to bamboozle their ignorant supporters.

A standard dual carriage road is what they’re tagging superhighway.

I blame our education system though. Churning out duller people every year.

Whenever some Nigerians open their mouth to say there are some people in Nigeria that are richer than Dangote, I just shake my head.

Guess where they say those people are? They sell clothes in some market.

No Nigerian, politician or business man is as rich as Dangote. None.

Something wey you suppose live for local chairman to commission (if at all necessary).

The minister of interior just a few weeks ago said some bandits were arrested at Katsina airport while returning from Makkah.

Superhighway. The new vocabulary APC and its data boys use to bamboozle themselves.

Lithiumite:
Those who thought it best to enshrine the zoning arrangement saw it as the best option for national cohesion and inclusiveness......of not a certain region will hold perpetual advantage over the other by producing every president.

No region can hold perpetual advantage. Northern votes alone cannot make a northerner president neither can southern votes alone make a southerner president.

Until it is enshrined in the constitution, anyone is eligible to contest. It’s left to the people to decide.

I won’t vote you just because you and I are from the same region or the same tribe.

Coastal highway.

Road wey no past sea coast una Dey call am coastal highway.

Shioor. Olodo uprising.

Parachoko:
PDP had 16 years, but they failed to fix all this roads.

If the PDP fixed the roads, maybe Asiwaju will just be spending all this money he's using to fix this roads on the Power Sector

You say it like PDP 16 years ended in 2023. APC has been in power for 11 years now.

After almost a decade of the APC FG doing this nonsense rehabilitation of BH members, it’s now you guys in the senate realize it’s bad?

Looking at the website, you can easily tell something is off.

100 years longevity? I doubt that.

Concrete or asphalt, if the roads are done shabbily as our politicians do, they won’t last.

What matters is quality of job done.

THMT:
Use Ebonyi state roads as case study. How are the roads today, the pot holes are so much you would think all the crabs in Africa relocated there.

If this kind of roads are so good economically, how come other countries are not doing it to save money?

I stand to be corrected because I still believe a well-done asphalt road is better in the long run.

Concrete are actually more durable than asphalt roads and have longer lifespan.

Problem is that those roads in Ebonyi could have been done with low grade materials. That’s the fear I have with the man turning almost all our roads to concrete. If the quality is bad, it’ll be a disaster just as those in Ebonyi.

Asphalt on the other hand provides smoother ride and can be easily repaired.

Start making the 2.5 million every month.

CharlesCNG:
What kind of desperate politics weaponises human disaster just to score cheap points?

So because Lagos experienced flooding, some people have suddenly concluded that the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway caused it. By that logic, did the coastal highway also cause the recent floods in Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Benin and other parts of West Africa?

Across West Africa, the current flooding pattern has been linked to torrential rainfall, climate pressure, rapid urbanisation, poor drainage, blocked waterways, waste dumping and settlements around flood-prone areas.

Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire recently recorded deadly floods after days of heavy rain, with authorities and climate experts pointing to extreme rainfall and urban drainage problems, not any Lagos coastal road.

Even in Lagos, the explanation is not mysterious. The Works Minister has blamed blocked drainage channels, illegal encroachment on natural waterways, poor drainage infrastructure, indiscriminate waste disposal and long-standing environmental problems.


Now, if someone wants to argue that the coastal highway worsened flooding in a specific location, fine. Bring hydrological evidence.

Show the natural water path that was blocked. Show the before-and-after drainage design. Show the engineering report. Show the exact section where the road obstructed stormwater flow.

But don’t see flood in rainy season and immediately shout “Tinubu road.”

That is not environmental analysis.

That is opposition rain-making.

Flooding in Lagos is not new. Flooding in West Africa is not new. Heavy rainfall, clogged drains, low-lying coastal geography, bad urban planning and blocked waterways have been causing floods long before the coastal highway entered the conversation.

So let us sympathise with victims, demand proper drainage, insist on environmental safeguards and hold contractors accountable where evidence exists.

But weaponising flood tragedy with lazy propaganda is shameful.

Stop defending aimlessly.

The commissioner for environment and water resources of Lagos admitted on live television that flooding around Ologolo and its axis are as a result of the coastal highway.

You can go on arise tv YouTube channel, search for it and take a listen for yourself.

The governor and minister are only trying to play cover up.

Why act surprised?

Don’t you see how he talks to his guests on his radio show?

Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.

lexylaw09:
Atiku should not even be on the ballot paper in order to honor the zoning agreement 🤝... Power will go back to the north after four years.
Atiku doesn't have integrity

Zoning agreements amongst who?

Zoning is APC and political parties problem. Nigerian constitution has no business in that.

Anyone can contest.

Richtaiwo:
I'm struggling to understand this. Are you saying pipe-borne water has only just become available in Enugu State after 3 decades? How, exactly, have people been getting by all these years? Surely, you're not suggesting that there are still communities relying on ponds for their daily water supply.

Even almighty Lagos has no pipe borne water.
