Let's Be Ready Anything is possible, Our Leaders are not helping matters either, If USA should colonize us fine.

LOW IQ DUNCE.

They will colonise your MOTHER’s puna.

Bastard slave.

Look at the whole Africa OPENING EYE and rejecting imperialist exploitation while LOW IQ Nigerians drowned in inferiority complex are stupidly asking to be colonised.

YOU ARE SO HOPELESS AND STUPID, YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE BLACK RACE.

Don’t get it into your thick skulls that colonialism is a system of exploitation and resource theft designed to enrich the coloniser at the expense of the colonised.

EVERY CHILD IN AFRICA KNOWS THIS.

EXCEPT LOW IQ NIGERIANS.

You are a complete EMBARRASSMENT.

PHAYOL81:
We have enlightened them on many of these benefits and more but the critics are hell bent on promoting their vilifying political agenda to frustrate its construction. I don't understand how we can't head on with this edifice and still prioritize the rehabilitation of our bad roads.

WHATEVER THEY DO OR SAY THOUGH, THE ROAD MUST CONTINUE AND BE COMPLETED IN DUE TIME.

Because the project is not in Igboland it is a ''wasted venture''.

ComeToJesus:
Go and do your 30k internet attack dog job. Stop yawning all over the place..

Go and hang out with Simon Ekpa.

Better still, go and continue your sit-at-home.

Who released you?

Emergency NIgerian.

ComeToJesus:
Roads that are in normal terrains, Nigeria has not been able to maintain in over 30 years..

Its the one that is closer to the rivers and the coasts that Nigeria is willing to construct and maintain. Coastal roads wear out faster. Salt water impacts negatively on roads and adjacent infrastructures.

Yawwwnnnn.......

Thank goodness the leaders don't have your inferiority complex.

Franking:
Everything you mentioned is true ON PAPER only.

...

What do you mean 'on paper'?

Lagos rail was ''on paper'' for decades before it became REALITY.

WHEN IT WAS STILL ''ON PAPER'', idiots like you trashed it and said it was just an avenue to embezzle money, and that nothing would come of it in 100 years!

In fact I remember when SHOPRITE was about to establish in Nigeria.

On this same Nairaland, you had MANY PEOPLE saying it was a wasted venture by Shoprite, because ''majority of Nigerians live on 1 dollar a day'', and could not afford to shop at malls.

But today they are opening new malls almost daily in Nigeria!

So just because YOU and your ILK are pessimistic like cursed people does not mean we WON'T execute projects!

tnerro1:
Una never tackle insecurity, una Dey talk about tourism. One negative incident can destroy the tourism dreams. See Abuja kaduna train, is no longer what it was before, people are no longer confident in boarding that train anymore, and if u do, u pray hard all the way till u get to ur destination.

NO. You tackle insecurity WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY building infrastructure.

Because INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT creates OPPORTUNITIES, which are vital to ending insecurity, as YOUTHS become GAINFULLY EMPLOYED.

Ballzproblem2:
china is not battling fuel scarcity.


china is not suffering from yuan devaluation


china has good economy.



All these I stated above Nigeria has none , continue defending this useless government na you and your generation gl suffer am ,when next election reach your children children go still sell their future for 5k

IF YOU HAD A WORKING BRAIN IN YOUR HEAD, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IT IS PRECISELY INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT THAT PROVIDED MASSIVE EMPLOYMENT TO THE CHINESE, WHILE IMPROVING THEIR EASE OF DOING BUSINESS, AND OPENING UP BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES TO MILLIONS OF PEASANTS WHICH ADDED TO GDP GROWTH AND ANNUAL INCOME, WITH WHICH THEY WERE ABLE TO COMBAT THEIR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.

THEY DID NOT COMBAT THEIR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS BEFORE BUILDING INFRASTUCTURE.

IT WAS THE INFRASTRUCTURAL REVOLUTION THEY EMBARKED ON, AT GREAT COST TO THE PEOPLE (INDEED UNDER COMMUNIST MILITARY DICTATORSHIP) THAT LED TO THEIR ECONOMIC EXPANSION.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO BUILD WEALTH AS A NATION. TO GROW YOUR NATIONAL INCOME AND ANNUAL BUDGET.

YOU CANNOT SIT DOWN ON A 30 BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET WHEN COUNTRIES LIKE THE USA HAVE A 7 TRILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL BUDGET, UK, 2 TRILLION, FRANCE, 2 TRILLION, SOUTH AFRICA 120 BILLION, ETC.

SO YOU MUST INCREASE YOUR NATIONAL INCOME.

THE OIL INCOME IS A PITTANCE FOR YOUR HUGE POPULATION.

HOW DO YOU INCREASE THAT INCOME?

BY CREATING A LARGE NUMBER OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, AS BUSINESSES PAY TAX, WHILE GENERATING EMPLOYMENT.

THE COASTAL ROAD WILL ATTRACT MULTIPLE INVESTORS FROM HOME AND ABROAD.

THAT IS HOW DEVELOPMENT WORKS!

CommonSense1967:
The positive impact of the Lagos Calabar coastal road on the Nigerian economy will be huge and generational.
I have tried to explain to some why this is a brainer but they seem bent on looking at it from a political and sentimental perspective.
Even if Obi was President and he proposed this road, I would have supported it with everything I have.

Nigeria has a long coastline and most are not been used to their full potential. Imagine how many beaches will open up from Lagos to Calabar, imagine world-class hotels, imagine the potential for resorts in many areas.


Look at it from the potential benefits instead of the potential delays and costs.

Projects of this magnitude will experience delays, cost overruns, and many other problems. But we must still start it and plan for potential hiccups as we go along. No matter how ell you plan there will be issues but that is not enough reason to back away form it.

Excellent comment.

I'm even thinking of business I can set up there, and I'm not even from that region! Talk less of people from that side.

opamoses1:
The burgeoning tourism industry has also motivated local people who used to work as migrant workers in more developed cities to return to their hometowns.

My best part of the article.

And I can see that EASILY replicated in Nigeria with this coastal road.

You can set up even one small joint between the road and the ocean, near your village there, and make serious money.

Thanks for this information, OP.

Good job.

Nightwolf1:
That the road didn't pass through the South East is never the issue. The issue is, there are abandoned projects all over the country including an East West road already serving the same purpose for which the coastal highway is designated. That East West road is in terrible condition and lives are being lost on that road everyday. Put it in order and channel the rest amount of money to areas that needed utmost attention. Not a project that won't be completed under 20yrs.


Again,15 trillion Naira is a huge money earmarked for a project that never followed due process. Perhaps it could have been less than what Dave Umahi wants us to believe.

Too many grey areas associated with the project are the reason for reasonable doubts.

THE EAST WEST ROAD IS BEING REHABILITATED AS WE SPEAK.

IT IS NOT ABOUT “DO THIS ROAD BEFORE DOING THAT ROAD”.

THEY ARE WORKING SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Image123:
The remaining will be updated as Reno updates. It seems Obi needs to carry his family and close friends to go and beg this Reno fellow. The 'violence' is getting hot.

Here's part 2 as promised.

Fourteen: He claimed that the US President pays for his own food, but a search on the White House website indicates that the White House food budget covers most of the costs of the US President's meals, although there are some that the President pays for.

Fifteen: I employed 60% of Anambra people in IBL Brewery (IBL employs less than 0.06 of Anambra’s population).

Sixteen: Out of 150 players in the American NBA, almost 100 are Nigerians. But Nigerian players in the NBA are less than 3%.

Seventeen: I did not leave debt in Anambra (actually, he left debt, according to the Debt Management Office).

Eighteen: Tinubu sent out WhatsApp messages against me that I would destroy Lagos (actually, the blast was sent out by Powell Glad Legbe, an Obidient).

Nineteen: Nigeria exported less than $30 billion in 2021 (Nigeria has exceeded $30 billion in exports for over a decade).

Twenty: I am the first Governor to be impeached and reinstated in Nigeria (actually, Ladoja was the first).

Twenty One: I have never been involved in corruption (according to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, Peter Obi corruptly ferried money out of Nigeria and stashed it in secret accounts). For this, he was investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in 2022, and that case has not been officially closed.

Twenty Two: My investment in SABMiller is now worth $100 million (actually, the Obi government’s investment of $12.24 million is now worth only $5.38 million).

Twenty Three: The Governors of the Southeast founded ESN (actually, ESN was founded on December 13, 2020, by Nnamdi Kanu).

Twenty Four: I have only one wristwatch (Peter Obi has been photographed with multiple wristwatches).

Twenty Five: I don’t fly private jets (pictures don’t lie!). Obi has been pictured alighting from multiple private jets.

Twenty Six: The British government apologised to me after detaining me at Heathrow. Enquiries from the UK High Commission in Abuja indicated no such apology was offered by the British Government to Mr. Obi.

Twenty Seven: Peter Obi claimed NEXT was dissolved. Investigations revealed that the UK government did not dissolve the company. Rather, it was punitively struck off after failing to file annual returns.

Twenty Eight: Peter Obi claimed that apart from Venezuela, Nigeria is the only OPEC nation not meeting its quota. That is a lie. Data from OPEC's website shows that no OPEC country meets its production quota.

Twenty Nine: He said Nigeria has 60% youth unemployment. However, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, this is false.

Thirty: Peter Obi claims he is a nationalist, but as Governor, he threatened to sack non-natives of Anambra in the Anambra State Civil Service, an unconstitutional act.

Reno Omokri

Good heavens!

This is dramatic and stunning. 🤩

In fact I’m speechless! 🤩🤣

Every word typed is a heavy blow to Obi’s jaw! 🤣🤣

Because they are governed by tribalism.

If the president is of a different ethnic group from theirs, he becomes their target, and they ignore the conduct of their own state governors

It’s usually the Igbos who reason in this backward manner.

Bobby4090:
The Mayor of Dubai has spoken. The fraud says he's fighting corruption. He should start by giving up all the assets he fraudulently acquired in Dubai and all the ones he fraudulently acquired during the days of privatisation.

DON’T MIND ATIKU.

LOOK AT ATIKU SITTING IN A MANSION IN DUBAI, AND TALKING ABOUT CORRUPTION.

ATIKU, WHERE DID YOU FIND THE MONEY TO BUY MANSION IN DUBAI?

Sannisege:
Reno is ripping apart the lies of Obi and his psycho followers.

I swear.

And Obidients can only respond by abusing him! 😂🤣🤣

They can’t contest what he is saying. 😆😂

One thing about Reno is that he’s a meticulous researcher.

He knows his shiit!

He can single-handedly wreck Obi’s presidential ambition.

Obi better find a way to go and beg that guy, because he has the goods on him! 😄

DMerciful:
These are not really what is needed to develop Kano but human capacity development.

Kano should focus on education as the highest priority so that insecurity will reduce to the bearest minimum

How will you develop human capacity without good roads and infrastructure?

What is human capacity surrounded by potor potor?

Sladem05:
😂😂 Nigerian weed must be good. Nigerian politicians will never be able to maintain a good society. The country is way too corrupt to achieve something like this.

Ode, it's already been achieved. Ever heard of a city called Lagos?

otipoju:
Now Imagine traveling from the doorsteps of your house to another city 24 hours away and the roads are like this from the beginning yo the end.

Some may not be as fresh looking...but they are tarred and lines are marked from your house to your destination.

That is what you experience in the USA and this is what all our stolen monies should be spent on. We have no business with untarred roads in Nigeria with the kinds of money we had.

Now Nigeria is getting broker day by day.

US annual budget: 7.6 trillion dollars.

Nigeria annual budget: 40 billion dollars.

By African standards, we are rich, but please, leave US out of our discussion, I take God beg you.

Do you know the annual budget of Stanford University, USA?

9 billion dollars.

Just ONE university in America.

Is that not 1/4 Nigerian annual budget?

Harvard University, their annual budget is 6 billion dollars.

Cornell University, 5.4 billion dollars.

Yale, 5.7 billion dollars.

I don't know where you people get this idea that Nigeria is rich.

AMAZING.

The 2nd longest bridge in Africa, the 11.8 km long Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4U3O5rPChU&ab_channel=TayoAmele

I doff my hat for Dave Umahi.

First class official he is.

A proud symbol of Nigerian competence.

Third Mainland Bridge did not look as beautiful as this even when it was first commissioned in 1990.

One could be forgiven for thinking it was an expressway in Dubai or Tokyo looking at it now.

Incredible.

Siberia01:
mortgage of course..

Very soon the African continent will be empty ...

If Canada had half of our resources..I don't know how developed it will be God

Empty head, Canada has more resources than Nigeria, and has only 38 million people.

''Canada is one of the few developed nations that are net exporters of energy. Atlantic Canada possess vast offshore deposits of natural gas, and Alberta hosts the fourth-largest oil reserves in the world. The vast Athabasca oil sands and other oil reserves give Canada 13 percent of global oil reserves, constituting the world's third or fourth-largest. Canada is additionally one of the world's largest suppliers of agricultural products; the Canadian Prairies region is one of the most important global producers of wheat, canola, and other grains. The country is a leading exporter of zinc, uranium, gold, nickel, platinoids, aluminum, steel, iron ore, coking coal, lead, copper, molybdenum, cobalt, and cadmium.''
