Again, it is a good project, but not a priority at this tight times.

There are already existing roads in need of repair at the fraction of the cost of the estimated cost of that coastal road that would serve an even more urgent purpose than the coastal road.

When this turns out to be the shambles it would eventually become, some clowns would turn on Umahi and his tribe and conveniently excuse the person on whose table the buck stops.

A road proposed many decades ago is still not a priority?

And the stupid reason is because some existing roads need repairs that are actually ongoing by different contractors?

When did governance become single-tasking?

Bobloco:
Can someone vouch for your integrity?

You are not ashamed that you continue supporting a shameless liar?

Bobloco:
Reno Omokri is a rabble rouser

More like Peter Obi has no integrity in him.

The government is still barking, not biting as we have advised numerous.

mjbaba:
How many people here remember, or are aware that current Super Eagles head coach George Finidi, once played for Ipswich when they were in the premiership?

He even scored 2goals on his debut and wore the hat of a fan to celebrate.

Seems you have a learning disability. Your argument is that people don't make it in uk. And I just gave you an example of how people are more likely to make it in uk than Nigeria.
Where they finally spend their money doesn't matter , the argument is have they made it or not over a given time compared to Nigeria. Ie carer in uk can save 3000 to 5000 pounds yearly while a minimum wage earner in Nigeria can't save 1/10th of it.
Extrapolate that over 10 to 15yrs and tell me who has made it.

You are still making the same mistake.

You saved £5000 in a year in UK and you say you have made it?

Money that will not pay for 5months of Nanny care if you have kids.

Meanwhile N500k that is not even the equivalent of the pound amount, will pay for nanny care for 8months.

Whatever you have saved in US or UK, is for later expenditure where you are. Stop comparing it to what a Nigerian saved for later expenditure in Nigeria.

As you do not earn the same, you do not save the same, and you will never later consume the savings the same.

They are 2 separate economies, and they do not meet at the point of savings expenditure.

The Tortoise when asked when he would return from his journey, replied that "not until I've been disgraced".

drsibz66:
So because you have 1 uncle or aunt that didn't make it In uk , every body who went to uk never make it. Even in Somalia , some Nigerians still make let alone uk.
As a carer in uk who earns minimum wage if you work hard and spend wisely you can save 300 to 500 pounds monthly after all your expenses. How many Nigerians on minimum wage can save the equivalent in 1yr in Nigeria.

That $300 to $500 the career saved in a month, is it not savings that will later be expended in that same economy.

If I save in Nigeria, I save it to later spend in Nigeria, so same applies to the savings in the UK to be later spent in the UK.

Stop tying your UK savings to a future Nigerian expenditure.

Didijiji:
that is almost 2.6m in a month for those earning 20k pounds


some peoples 2 years salary in Nigeria

Have you paid your monthly bills (house rent, electricity, gas, water, TV etc), or bought monthly supplies?

God forbid the day I will abandon a well paying Nigerian job just because I want to put on winter jacket in UK while my face is unhappy and my health is terribly under stress.

I do not mind doing it for a job or immigration to the USA where opportunities abound for even the very 1st generation of the immigrant family, but UK is a big NO.

The majority of Nigerians who have been in the UK since the early 1980s, they have not made it till today. Their children have not made it too.

The wise 3rd generation have embraced sport and entertainment, so that the curse of the UK will not happen to the 3rd generation of the family.

If you go to the UK, you are going there to suffer so that maybe your 3rd generation family can finally live wealthy.

But someone caught with N250m in his convoy is still walking about with his hypocrisy.

Is this the same Abuja that some clanswoman was telling me her fellow tribesmen should relocate to from Lagos?

The only place a clansperson can have peace is in his own village, where he has no choice but to accept that any policy cannot be a deliberate agenda against his tribe by his own tribe.

Ohaneze Ndigbo did not make any noise when Peter Obi or Theodore Orji were demolishing buildings in their respective states that year.

Just last month, Soludo of Anambra went on a demolishing spree, yet Ohaneze nor Moghalu's bigot wife made a sound.

We don cook dem soft.

They thought the minority can force itself on the majority.

A very big folly.

See how Mmesoma and the tribal supporters like Oby Ezekwesili has spoilt JAMB top scorers recognition for those who would be sitting for the exams henceforth.

Wetin many dey use secure scholarship over many decades, Mmesoma and her clanspeople rubbish am overnight.

Shame on them.

derecho:
Yarimo come o...it's Peter Obi again.

If I grill Obi 1 on 1, that voice he is still managing will disappear.

The way he was questioned about not building any school, is the same way he should be questioned about,

1. His foreign bank account in the UK when he was Governor.

2. His resignation from his private business 2years after he became Governor and then foolishly claiming he immediately handed over his resignation letter to his wife.

3. The Pandora expose as he tried to hide away his wealth under his daughter's name only after he became Governor.

4. Lastly, he needs to be taken to the cleaners on his minimalist approach to infrastructure that does not last.

DevilsEqual:
You're right bro
I attended a tech induction program recently and we had many tutors(up to like 15 of them)

At a point during the program, the project manager introduced himself and I heard one igbo boy from behind screaming : "Na wa o, all of una nq just Yoruba...I never hear one igbo name since Monday "

Bro, I just weak....like this is about upskilling and the only thing in this guy mind was the tribal identity of the tutors. Man even counted all 3days sessions

They are wired that way.

I know a tertiary school in Yoruba land that has state of origin associations that enable students interact with their respective state governments for benefits like student bursary and after school state job offers etc.

It was the Igbo students that still went ahead to form Igbo Students Association.

What was the need for?

To satisfy that innate clannish DNA.

Igbos are not ashamed about their tribal inclination. They do not hide it. They are very vocal about it even in another tribe's domain.

What does the South of Nigeria truly want?

We lament that a Northerner built roads even into Niger Republic and sited many projects in his region.

Now a Southerner is in power and providing good projects that are not minimalist infrastructure, yet those lamenting the most are the same Southerners who lamented against the Northerner.

Distraction tactics

We know the Minister of Condolence this fellow voted for to be President.

They are never happy with good news and always craving for bad news.

KennethOkonkwo:
That your Second paragraph is very important. Igbo youth are more informed and Igbocentric that Yorubas.

Yorubas too get bastards! Chai!

The Igbos by nature are clannish.

They are very tribally inclined in everything they do.

DMerciful:
Someone came to invest in Lagos, Tinubu destroyed his business for no valid reason and you all are defending Tinubu's action out of tribal affiliations.

You guys don't know what you've done

Someone who was sold a parcel of land to establish his business, decided to encroach on federal government owned beach that nobody sold to him. Many did same like him and were all enriched by this illegal act.

Now the FG has come to reclaim the said beach to implement an interstate project, but all Igbos are supporting their Igbo land encroacher and making him an only victim when the FG is the actual victim.

When will Igbos evolve beyond this clannish approach to issues?

Dr Chinelo and others who lost their lives to this monster, must get justice in the most brutal of ways.

professorPABX:
I visited that place with two of my friends about 10 days ago. One worked with ICJ in Hague while the other is with AU at Addis. We were both students several years ago in a University in IBO land. They chatted this morning again about EFCC out of Court settlement with Cubana Chief Priest.

The Yorubas need to chart a course out of Nigeria. Our nature doesn't work with the people we are grouped with in Nigeria. The IBOS are now trying to win over ignorance, naive and confused Yoruba youths.

OBASANJO tried Sunday Afolabi, Tafa Balogun and Mrs Bolaji Osomo. I was in Abuja ( NASS ) during Yaradua's trial of Prof (Mrs) Nike Grange and Iyabo Obasanjo. I witnessed the travail of Patricia Etteh.

If Bobrisky were to be IBO and Chief Priest Yoruba, the Social Media would have been on fire by now. We spent 6 years with them, we know them.

Few days ago, I reminded people that Chief Afe Babalola's first office was among the demolished buildings at Ibadan for the building of Adamasingba Stadium. I don't know how an economic immigrant to Lagos will tie down the development, government and the people because of his business .

The Yoruba elites need to think deeply.

This page can spend hours on two or three pages because it concerns YORUBA and Voice of Reasoning. If it were the other people, before one hour, you are on the 10th page.

All that you detailed except the Ibadan part that affected Chief Afe Babalola, is well known to me. Despite that I am still under 40yrs of age.

The sophisticated Yorubas are the problem we Yorubas would have in the long run.

Akotiletas!


I would say I belong to that category, but the happenings in the Jonathan regime and my experience on Nairaland, gave me a bird-eye view to all that was happening in the minds of those I thought were my fellow country men

DMerciful:
We cannot behave like you, we're different

Your people are different because they suffer from a victim mentality disease that is ingrained in their DNA, making them resort to tribal solidarity Everytime they do wrong.

DMerciful:
It is not victim mentality.

It was targeted at landmark! Everybody knows this

You are irredeemable.

Your people can never be redeemed from this victim mentality.

Your people need to be psychologically and socially rehabilitated from the unconditional surrender of the civil war.

DMerciful:
He is the willing tool used to destroy the $200 million business of his fellow Igbo brother and he is doing it arrogantly.

He'd learn the hard way !

You mean his Igbo brother who encroached on the beach land behind his actual parcel of land?

The same land that was previously sandfilled by others with a purpose beyond his own business?

You would have applauded if Umahi was doing Nzogbu Nzogbu with his brother, rather than discharging his duties as a federal minister for all Nigerians?

DMerciful:
Umahi has got it coming

Because he dared to stand up for the project of his ministry and put your god, Peter Obi, in the dustbin of irrelevance that he belongs?

I am surprised that Igbos have not crafted a fancy name for him like you always do.

MsOnyi24:
We cry, then we get up and build back bigger, better and stronger.
Unlike you lot who cry and bark naked in the streets.
A nuisance all around the world, loud and full of jealousy.
All we want is our own port - isn't it one Nigeria after all?
Your hatred and envy will still never make you better than the Igbo business man.
One Igbo business person will still make at least 10 more business men through apprenticeships.
Thank fully they are now more open to accepting jobs in Abuja, once they arrive here they only return to your Lagos to pack their bags.

Who dash landlocked region port?

Why una no dash yourselves port.

Na that port matter dey make you die of envy the most.

I repeat, find your way to where you would not have to cry wolf all the time, knowing it is a social handicap of your people.

Agbonmagbe Bank

Established by Prince M. A Okupe of the Agbonmagbe royal family of Iperu Remo.

Doyin Okupe's father.

More like Minister of hypocrisy.

AutoConsult:
He has a point in my opinion.

But the coastal road is just as important as the other roads that need attention, and I believe the FG is working simultaneously to fix others too.

Meanwhile, contact me if you need to buy vehicles that can survive on Nigerian roads. Take a stroll through my profile for more enquiries.

He has no point.

That a new project is starting, does not mean work is not ongoing on others.

He is a Minimalist, so he has to reason as such.

See internal road projects that are being concluded, yet a typical Obidient is asking for bicycle lane and whatnot.

That is a typical Obi mentality that can never be assuaged due to the bitterness of electoral defeat.

What about other roads the government has been working on?
