Do you also know that tinubu appointed his son in-law as the head of federal housing authority.

Do you also know that tinubu facilitated the sale of eni oil assets to his nephew that is the CEO of oando.

And now you seyi tinubu as the board member of contractors running this coastal highway project

So what?

Nigeria doesn't have the financial weawithal to finish up this project, if we spend half of that amount in servicing and refurbishing existing roads, then this country would rank among the best in the world in terms of road network,it's totally unreasonable to spend that much amount on a single road when this country is currently neck deep in debt

Tomorrow when they pick you up for this fake news, and the DSS starts to give your bumbumbstrokes of koboko and dump you inside their dungeon.

Bro, there is no hiding place from any government invasive arms, so be careful with your online utterances.

Oh u said so what? I think we should stop fighting for a better country since you believe this is owk. Infact let nepotism and corruption prevail. All of una dey mad.

What is the essence of asking for better country when we have nicompo's who support there oppressors

Racoon:
This is one of the red flag or sign of this controversial project. No due process on the actual cost, pattern of funding and abuse of government provision in the award of public contracts. No competitive bidding.

This is what you get when criminal minded people are in government. Meanwhile, this construction is alleged to be awarded to Hi-Tech a company owned by the notorious Lebanese- Chaugoury brothers who helped the late Sanni Abacha to laundered Nigerian money.

Meanwhile this same Chaugoury is an a long time political ally of Bola Tinubu. So the well discerning Nigerian can see the connect. Dave Umahi will end up being the fall guy here. Same way he built an economically unprofitable variegated colour Airport in Ebonyi state.

Unah too get had mouth for this app...

This same analysis was what Atiku was saying then, but nobody care to listen...

South South people are so happy because of the coastal road that will be constructed and they have not hidden it, South West people are happy because the road will be constructed. The Northerners are not worried about it and have not said anything. But you see South East, they are very bitter because of that road. Why?

please do not sensationalise and tribalise this issue, does the naira have different face value across the different regions of Nigeria, until we realize that the problems of this country have gone beyond tribe and religious, it would be difficult to even begin the conceptualisation of the problems of this country talkless of addressing it. Divide and rule policy of politicians have taken hold of so many people in this country, and obviously you seem to be totally enmeshed in it

Mrford:


They are talking of scale of preference, you are talking about infrastructure. Who is against infrastructure?
Is 'East west road' not a worthy infrastructure?
And many other federal roads scattered round the country.
That project is just a misplaced priority.

Tribalism will kill you. Stay away from it. Where dem wan put coastal road in your East? So East should always be at the top priority. Why? Cos you are Igbos. Mehn! You need help. Real one. As in real help. Just reasoning anyhow.

Kwaramustgoodag:
always try to read and understand. Premium time don't criticise, rather, sane Nigerians don't as well. What they asking for is, why will they award the contract to a single company, that is a friend to Mr president without any bidding competitions from other construction companies and how did they came to the figure of the project funds. Even Lagos-ibadan express way that is not far, two contractors are working on it.

Lol!

Go.read my posts.....more coming. Tinubu will keep enriching his boys. I said it long ago. He will do outstanding projects and cover grounds, but he will.set his boys in all areas that you can't beat him again. Go ask Bode George, he will give you a comprehensive lecture.

And mark my words, he will use the law to back his actions. People like Yemi Osinbajo did it for him in Lagos...and there are still others doing it now.

So, don't complain. You never see anything. Mine is that they should just build the infrastructure. Yes, they will be so rich...but let them.just put things in.place. I have nothing more to say.

If you want to challenge him....go.to court. But I assure you that, he will beat you hands down. Yoruba may own everything in Nigeria very soon. Mark my words. Tinubu na master hijacker. I laughed when hausa followed him. They don't know who he is. Except he doesn't finish his 8 years. See...more to come. He will make Lagos a super nation. This is the legacy he is trying to leave behind.

Kukutente23:

If you think Nigeria is Lagos where Tinubu will just pick someone and start teleguiding him from his bedroom, then you don't know much about your country. Ask OBJ how far with Yaradua. Everything baba did thinking he was doing Yaradua a favour was reversed within the first 3 months with lots cheers from the north. Tinubu does not even speak Hausa!! If that road is not completed or at least close to completion by the time Tinubu's tenure expires, verily I say unto you, that project will be very difficult to see completion especially with the shady nature of its award.

You are the one who is naive.

Leadership is about building a network of followers. Is OBJ a leader? Nope. He led Nigeria in the 70s and he had no legacy left behind. He was giving another opportunity in 1999, he messed up again. Go and look at Tinubu of Lagos. He has more influence than Jakande sef. He is still there. So, it is not about Nigeria..but about the person.

Let us wait and see how the project goes. That was how they said Lekki toll gate was impossible. That was how they said Lekki airport and seaports aren't possible. They even mocked Eko Atlantic. It was conceived when he was there over 20 years ago. And the project is almost finished.

Guy, I am not a fan of Tinubu, but I have learned so much from him. I pick good things from him, and filter out back stuff.

Get sense. It’s a beautiful thing, but its not the priority. More pressing things needs our attention

SE people were also against railway to Niger republic , today who is right and wrong, today railway is only used to transport terrorist.
SE people were against Buhari but today same SW people that supported buhari is now claiming he destroyed Nigeria for Tinubu.
You may have the number but we know who are really politically correct and who really hate Nigeria. So because it passed SW you must support it even when you know it will not be completed in 20yrs. What happened to Ajokuta steal? What happened to our refinery? You guys are shameless and enemy of the country

[quote author=Terrahawk post=129808802][/quote]

Must you resort to abuse?
When u have nothing to say, you shameless and worthless pathetic liars resort to insults.
Is Tinubu not doing what I said in Lagos? Swear that motor kill you if I am lying.
We should not speak the truth.
Daft goat.

Terrahawk:
The cannibal morons from the south East are very bitter and hurt because the road will not benefit their region as with the south south and south west. Wait till they announce the commencement of the Greenfield Lagos to Abuja super highway before the end of the year, and you will cry even more till your eyes bleed. 😂
.

Are you talking about the Fraudulent Lagos- Calabar Highway that Tinubu is using to cash out and settle his election debt to Chowgury?

Topman7:
I honestly wish there was a way we could mark down all the people opposed to this project, and BAN THEM FROM USING THAT ROAD once it's completed.

They're so annoying!

Senseless talk. Is it your money alone that's been frittered away on the white elephant project?
NL has truly gone to the dogs.

Murketeer:
Lol 15 trillion ... that’s like 10 billion dollars ... this money will be enough to take care of our epileptic power supply

You are very correct.That money can even fund a deep water oil/gas field development, drilling and production cost including:
1. About 24 subsea wells + 1 large size FPSO( 150Kbbd)
2. And the country can recover the Investment cost within 3-4 years given current oil price .....
Anyway, wetin our so-called leaders...sorry looters sabi sef other than to dey launder money everywhere

Awarding a 700km road to a company that could not complete a 36km road is ironic

new businesses are going to spring up along the corridor,

When Buhari constructed rail to Niger republic, no mention of EIA or all the rubbish points listed. Now it's the time of the South to have their own infrastructure, people start wailing.

Nothing will stop the construction of that road.

They were against the 2nd Niger bridge too. They are always against infrastructure development. That's why the SE is ugly. Their best state Anambra is nothing to write home about.

Lolzz, baba with all due respect you appear like the one to stay away from tribalism. The person you quoted mentioned East-West road and you labelled him a tribalist because u saw the word "East". Omoh wahala dey o. Fyi, no part of east-west road crosses the "south-east region. Smh

You too should stay away from Tribalism. Na coastal road dem call am. And one from Calabar to Lagos...and the other project is Sokoto to Lagos highway. These are not new projects...they have been there and deliberations have been there. So, why new routes. Then he mentioned east. Tell me where it should pass in the east. Stop this nonsense. You just want east. Na only you? You have a coastal area that expand to other areas there? Or is there any highway project that has been in the pipeline to your place? No be so so bitterness you dey do all along? While others are networking, you are filled with bitterness....when the result of the networking of other is yielding fruits...you will definitely explode. Lol. More coming. Keep hating more.

So you mean that Buhari did not give the South any infrastructure?

Go back and read what you quoted again. He said East - west road. You would have googled east-west road on the internet to better understand what he was saying. But ur antennas quickly flagged at the very mention of east. Wahala dey o. He mentioned east-west road and not just east.

anonymous1759:



My personal take , I don’t think there’s any project in Nigeria that’s transparent even if it’s an open bid , they’ll still award the contract to who they want .
If you criticize this project you should do so too to all the projects across Nigeria.
Picking which project to criticize will make it bias , develop countries still face things like this ,
EU chairlady Ursa is been accuse of some COVID shady deals , no continent is perfect, let’s say no human is perfect but some are more transparent than the other that’s the difference.
To me as long as you execute the project in a place like Nigeria I’m ok with it , because In Nigeria we’ve leaders who receive money for project ending up doing nothing and still working freely .
By international standard of corrupt practices all past Nigerian leaders should be in jail I don’t know who you support but you did because you seen he’s a lesser evil or preferable but not perfect.

I support the project because Lekki deep seaport , Lekki bridge and 2nd Niger bridge was done through that way and it worked . The benefits outweighs the disadvantages.

First of all, let me make it clear that you supporters of APC have enabled the lowering of the bar and standard of governance in Nigeria since your party took over in 2015. Suddenly you guys now have clarity of reasoning and understanding of how things work in Nigeria, and you are ready to give benefit of doubt at every turn in which questions are raised about governance issues. This was not so before 2015. You guys were anti-corruption and change agents then and every report of government ineptitude was usually met with disgust by you guys.

Secondly, it is a lie to claim Lekki seaport and Lekki bridge were constructed that way. Both projects were PPP and Lagos state does not have a kobo especially in the seaport. As for the bridge, it is less than 2km in length and heavily tolled. I can bet that 80% of Lagosians have never used that bridge. 2nd Niger bridge was bidded for and awarded to Julius berger since the time of Jonathan. So there is no similarity whatsoever in the mode of execution for those projects. Lekki bridge is more or less run like a private business. Are you saying a 700km federal road that has seen private businesses demolished will be run like a private enterprise when completed? That will even make it worse than initially envisaged.

The issues being discussed are germane to the sustainability of the project more so that it is most likely it will exceed this present govt's tenure. If you fail to understand the issues but jump to defend just because the President is your favourite politician or kinsman, then you are not doing any good for Nigeria or the project

Guy, I am not a fan of Tinubu, but I have learned so much from him. I pick good things from him, and filter out back stuff.

Let us investigate your claim that OBJ left no legacy behind in the 70s. The place called FESTAC in Lagos today was built by Obasanjo regime. So was National theatre, National Stadium and the NNPC which basically feeds the nation today. OBJ built the first refinery in Nigeria in PH. Yet you say he has no legacy. What exactly do you mean by legacy?

In 1999, he brought revolution to telecoms in Nigeria and that phone you are using to type is made possible because of his efforts. Yet you say he has no legacy. He built 16 thermal power plants all over the country in his 8 years. Yet you insist he has no legacy.
Lekki seaport is a private investment. Same with Eko Atlantic. You guys either go claiming private investments as legacy of Tinubu or you go claiming the works of his predecessors. Are you by any stetch saying those investments would not have come to Lagos if Tinubu was not governor? Lagos had 2 seaports before Tinubu. Lagos had Banana Island before Tinubu. You guys just mix things up. If Tinubu was gov of a state like Osun that has limited private investment exposure, it is obvious you guys will have almost nothing of note to point as his achievements.

My point which you have not refuted is that Nigeria is not Lagos. OBJ tried same thing with Yaradua and failed. The North are the most power hungry part of the country. If you think a Northern president is going to be saying Yessah to one man in Bourdillon, I tell you that you know next to nothing about your country.

Every reasonable person already knows that the project is just a means to fraudulently loot trillions nothing more.
