[quote author=adamusuleiman1 post=129833181][/quote]I am looking forward to travelling on this road to Calabar in the nearest future...
Imagine connecting and travelling the entire Coastal States of Nigeria under Eight Hours of driving.
That would bring a lot of fresh air to Nigerians. We will become more connected as a people.
The abandoned Tinapa Project by created by Donald Duke in Calabar will definitely benefit from this project ............. places like Obodu Cattle Ranch in Calabar will be much more closer and reachable on time.
Money will move around through this road when completed.
Beeb1e: Hello everyone, I got a call from a man in the Village (Elele, Rivers State) on Tuesday night, that we should look for a way to come and carry our mother as she has slumped and was rushed to a hospital, where she was in coma.
He explained to me that my mother went to demand for the payment of the debt the man is owing her and he angrily beat her up, he stripped her , tore her clothes, her underwear was torn too. I’m literally crying as I type this. Everyone that tried to stop him he chased with the machete. Now my dad is late , else he won’t have tried this.
I am in Lagos so I’ve not seen her my sister that was able to travel to Elele to see her sent me the pictures.
She is out of coma now, but still unable to sit or stand or talk. We also noticed she is bleeding from her private part.
We arrested the evil man with the Elele police but the community Igwe bailed him, he is a known person in the community and owns a hotel there.
I really want this man to receive this level of Physical pain or more, because my mum almost lost her life.
I don’t know what to do or how to go about getting justice for her.
We are at military hospital port harcourt now.
Please head to the nearest Police station to make a complaint against the man.
Take as many pictures of the brutality and injuries your mum sustained.
AbokiWam: I A thread hit front page few days ago and I saw people critizing Okpa saying it is tasteless
maybe you bought from someone who is still a learner
Okpa over moi moi 100 times..
Moi moi especially the one that isn't hot makes me sick.
why would anyone say Okpa is tasteless..
such person should check his taste bud asap
I first came across Okpa back in the 90s while on NYSC service at University of Nigeria, the students call it 6 to 6, because it holds the stomach well.
emkz: One of the presenters of the Morning Show on Arise News, Mr Rufai Oseni, took to his twitter handle to continue to question the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project.
LocalFARMERS: Some hunters who hunt with Dogs, fight over an Antelope one of their Dogs caught. Each of the Hunters claimed, it was his Dog that caught the Antelope.
Umahi said: "Sister, I was raised in the village, me I no dey hear phoney...... I need interpreter oo...."
The meeting was not where journalist will be asking for EIA report for the project.
Arise journalist should know their bounds.
It was a problem solving forum for people getting compensation for encroaching of the right of way a project that had been on the drawing board for decades.
OldBeer: Maryanne Moghalu, the wife of former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) deputy governor and ex-presidential candidate Kingsley Moghalu, has sparked a social media storm with her recent social media post cautioning against investing in Lagos.
In the wake of the contentious dispute between Landmark, a prominent real estate developer, and the Federal Government, Maryanne Moghalu took to Social media to share her advice. Her post, which has since garnered over 200,000 views, serves as a warning to potential investors regarding the current climate in Lagos.
It's worth noting that Kingsley Moghalu was the presidential candidate for the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in the country's general election in February 2019.
The controversy surrounding Landmark and the Federal Government has raised concerns about the stability of investment opportunities in Lagos. Maryanne Moghalu's post adds to the ongoing dialogue about the implications of such disputes on the business environment in Nigeria's commercial capital.
There are a one thousand and one places to invest without any issues in Lagos.
People like this woman are the ones who think money can buy anything in the name of investment.
Domaining101: Popular Nigerian Travel and Tourism YouTuber Tayo Aina, has come out to share his take about the current controversies surrounding the coastal Highway project that resulted in the demolition of the popular Landmark Demolition beach in Lagos.
Tayo Aina who has almost a million subscribers on his YouTube channel mainly focused on travel and tourism, communicated his thoughts through his verified social media handle saying -
Tayo Aina
This one just dey rant for nothing sake. Building a resort on the right of way of a national road project is not an investment.
SoNature: The only things that matter to us in Nigeria is chasing after women, betting, drinking, religion and corruption. Everything else na cruise. Nigerians are not even serious humans!
When I heard the owner of Landmark argue that he knew about the road project, acquired his land so that the road could run behind it and that this administration came on board and altered the project course to run through his beach front, I was shocked! Why are we always like this in this country?
PS: I didn't know that Tayo has left the country. People in government and the lunatics who support them make it very difficult to honestly like this country.
Don't be fooled.........the coastal road predates all the development happening along the coast.
Gistmedia10: The Sokoto State Government according to reports on Tuesday, provided twenty operational motorcycles to enhance the efforts of the State Command of the Department of State Security in combating banditry in the eastern part of the State as reported by NTA on Tuesday.
During the presentation of the motorcycles to the State Director of the Command at the Government House, the Secretary to Sokoto State Government, Muhammad Bello Sifawa, emphasized that the gesture aims to bolster the Security Forces' endeavours in safeguarding the lives and properties of the people in the State.
These should have gone to just one local government council for street patrols.

Are these meant for delivery and dispatch of letters?
naptu2: Bash Ali was a Nigerian boxing legend in the 1980s and 1990s. However, since the early 2000s he has been trying to enter the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest boxing champion.
President Obasanjo initially wanted to sponsor the fight, but AIT sponsored a warm up fight against another African boxer and Bash Ali performed woefully in the fight, so Obasanjo pulled out of it. Since then he has had serious problems with every sports minister because he has been trying to force the Federal Government to sponsor his fights.
These are previous Nairaland threads and posts about the issue.
What is Bash Ali still looking for...........he was a former world champion and he has never deem it fit to produce Boxing Champions like himself from the ranks of teeming youth of this country.
What a tragedy he is....I have watched him time without number over the years embarrassing himself looking for sponsors to organise hard to believe boxing shows for himself and not the youth of this country.
If he doesn't apologize, the minister should go ahead and sue him, to teach him an eternal lesson he will not forget in his life.
