This is the greatest PR disaster that has ever befallen Israel since 1948!

Rufai Oseni is a politician not a journalist! He has every right to hustle.

So people have not be travelling from sokoto to lagos since 1979

Your logic is bewildering. People were traveling from Lagos to Ibadan long before the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was completed.

Duke! We are tired of the public rants and platitudes: “We have to manage what we have; we have to be productive…” bla bla bla. Tell us what tou think is the better way forward?

A mysterious opening post. Why do these guys hate Lagos? Wetin Lagos do them?

mrvitalis:

Your opinion not facts

Economic benefits for the government have to be financial for the government to count

Okay o. LOL

mrvitalis:

For the transporter yes... But for FG the builder it offers zero economic benefits... It's a feel good projects... Just like cocoa house, second niger bridge

They are bad to build in a collapsing economy

How is this difficult for you guys to understand is what I don't get

Your position is absurd.

If you agree it has economic benefits for the transporters but none for the FG then your macroeconomics sucks. Any government project that enhances the income generating capacity of its citizens has economic benefits.

Kindest regards.

mrvitalis:

I did not define what economic benefits is or are

You can't define it to your idea also

It has a standard definition

See below

According to your own example of economic benefits, the following items stand out:
Lower costs, Profits, Net income, GDP growth…Are you saying you can’t see how a bridge could impact any of the above parameters?

Let us use a transporter for an illustration.
If a bridge shortens the distance from A to B, then it saves fuel and thus lower costs which means more profits. It also saves time enough for him to make more trips and earn more income. With more income over time he pays more taxes to the same Government that built the bridge! And when you aggregate a lot of transporters using the bridge then we see significant impact on GDP. You should get the drift now.

mrvitalis:

Does having a nice bed to sleep on so u wake up healthy have economic benefits?

Now this is getting ludicrous. I now realize you have a “trade” mentality. To you, the only thing that has economic benefits is what directly makes money! My mistake! LOL.

Obi’s handlers have not helped him at all. And this says a lot about Obi’s capacity to surround himself with excellent lieutenants. Now everyone knows he lacks vision!

mrvitalis:

That's not economic benefits that's ease of living

Reasons its called a feel good projects

That's not economic benefits

I’m surprised you rejected that as an economic benefit. You don’t believe a facility that shortens distance travelled or saves time has economic benefits? You don’t think with more time and less stress others can do more and earn much more?(!) This is so elementary even a Danfo or Molue driver knows the economic benefits of The Third Mainland Bridge!

That Lagos-Calabar super highway will so transform the Niger Delta and bring about the age long development the region deserves.

The Landmark guy has no right over any lands or coastlines in Lagos or anywhere else in Nigeria to start with, so what is the madness about?. Let him relocate to UK and set up beach along their waterways and see if UK Govt. won't jail him and his money.

No jupiter will stop that highway.. just imagine people criticizing IBB back then over 3rd mainland bridge. Truly common sense is not common.

The Landmark company will be compensated.

These dissenters have no idea what a highway is, especially this coastal project! They only see it as another road. Incredible.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
What an interesting and refreshing read.

He knew Obi very well and succinctly delivered a well tailored rebuttal to Obi’s complaints. One of the best articles I’ve read in recent times.

Obi deserves every bashing he got from the author of this article. He called Obi a “minimalist” incapable of “grand visioning.” In simple English, Obi is unfit to be President! LOL.

See as Seun Kuti decimated his own reputation with fake news. He shamelessly ate back every word belly full! It must have been very painful.

High blood pressure over “His Excellency” Peter Obi

The Sokoto-Badagry expressway is not a new project. In fact, the construction of the road commenced in 1978 and then abandoned in 1979! I’m surprised at the utter ignorance of those suggesting the road is another new shady project. After all, same road was discussed in the Senate back in 2021!

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road and The Sokoto-Badagry expressway are strategic roads and have been in the pipeline for years. You guys should be grateful you now have a President willing to make real the completion of these excellent projects.

harvenghor:
That coastal highway must be shut down it's a charade

Reno’s wahala with Obi na fight to finish… He has truly succeeded in making worse Obi’s already diminished image. Reno don become Obi’s worst nightmare!

A PhD wrote this?

AntiMarxist:
So you mgbekes now admit Obi never built any schools but rather invested in miracle centres that produces frauds like Msemona.

Good

Hahahahaha…

Obidients are too drunk on Hero lager beer.

StOla:
A man with no standards.

None whatsoever! A paapaapa presidential candidate.

What is this inordinate obsession of some Nigerians with the US dollar?

SoNature:


What's the connection between what you wrote and mine? Be it generation, transmission or distribution, all those subsectors need power infrastructure to function optimally.

Tinubu has already signed a bill to empower states to generate, transmit and distribute power. And I am saying that given the title of this news story, this news doesn't add one megawatt of electricity to what currently exists in the national grid.

Understand first before you reply.

Currently, we generate more power than we transmit or distribute: some Discos even refuse to distribute additional power generated! Therefore of what use is an additional million megawatts to the grid without an expanded distribution and transmission sector. A State Government attempting to close a part of this deficit is a welcome development.

Perhaps, you prefer to have Ekiti State to go all out to generate and transmit and distribute its own power project. That would be fantastic but more costly. In any case, it will be better to start somewhere than do nothing because of lack funds to prosecute a greater power project.

SeeWahala:
Hahahaha 😆 Agbad0rian dey explain . . .

He go explain taayaaa




YET




No EVIDENCE

There’s nothing “agbadorian” in the opening post. The verdict of “No EVIDENCE” is empty without countervailing facts or argument!s

The scathing response to Atiku’s criticism was unnecessary, and even counterproductive. Onanuga could have done a better job on addressing some of the issues Atiku raised.

I don't just get it , I don't understand this people called men of God, which one is abido Shaker again?he should also use it to bring a bag of rice to 20k at least.

Perhaps he’s working on it!

A law needs to be passed in the house of assembly where people cannot just open churches and say things.

Kenya practised this. It working so we'll for them. This public redicule of the christian fate must end.

Not all Tom, Dick and Harry should be allowed.

Religious freedom…his own interpretation of the Christian Faith. Let God be the judge of the true Christian Faith.
