How come the Northerners and Middle-Belters are not complaining about this road project? Why is it only the Balotellis of Nigeria?

1. The road will connect all the 7 ports in Nigeria together

2. The road will serve as alternative to lagos-ibadan expreway.

3. All major cities in South West and South South will be connected together.

4. The 700 kilometer road is not entirely new as there many federal roads within it so it served as way of repairing the bad federal roads

5. The coastal road will have rail, this will assist the new refineries to easily move their products.


You guys have not thought of how long this project will take. 8 good solid years and you not even sure if it will be completed. So is this what Nigeria needs at the moment?

So those existing roads have ten lanes and rail
Is it the existing road that's to be expanded or is it that you don't know how to read maps? Go back and check the map you posted and stop advertising your ignorance. How can a coastal road pass through Ore in Ondo state. Haba!!

Such confidence in ignorance

Why should we be concerned about where it will pass in Rivers State? Should everybody be asking where it will pass in their State or town/village to justify the economic benefits of embarking on the project? Think Nigeria my friend….not just about your State.

I'm highly sceptical about this coastal highway coming to fruition. I'm suspecting that it won't get to the South South.

They are talking about coastal areas. They don't know that coastal areas around here are peoples villages. It is different from what you have in Lagos state. The shorelines are swampy with mangrove forest and creeks.

Are they going to evacuate them from their ancestral lands just to construct a road? This is why I'm asking where this road would pass through.

You think you writing to the uninformed minds.

Please can you;

1. List The names of the seven ports and ascertain connecting distances in KM of these ports from this high way?
2. Can you justify the execution of this project if the existing Ibadan -lagos higway is in a fairly good condition and if disparity in distance is not much?

3. Please list The names of the major cities in both south south and southwest to warrant the economic importance of the project?

Mention the names of the areas where this road will pass through in Rivers state. I didn't ask you for that fraudulent map.

Even Self, the map the guy showed is the one carrying the normal already existing road. I.e Lagos to Benin, Benin to Warri, Then to PH etc.

I have been patiently waiting for the actual map of where the coastal road will pass because i know that the project will be too tough.

Why i said so is because, the Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers state end have a lot of tributaries and estuaries that are very large. How roads wan take pass those places? Them go build bridges tire. Because those place na so so creeks, many rivers, and swamps plus large brackish water bodies joining the Atlantic Ocean full there.

The whole project can't be completed in 8 years. Even the first phase would take 3 to 4 years to complete, and they have about 4 phases or thereabout.

For us, once the phase 1 (VI to Lekki port/Dangote) is completed, we are fine and we would celebrate it. If not Tinubu, other governments should take it up from there and complete the remaining. Government is a continuum.

Well I’m surprised because most people have been abusing the south east as the road isn’t connected into the region according to them

You mean this people cannot spare just a few meters out of there vast mangrove ancestral homes for a road that will benefit them?


You need to see these areas and believe me you would begin to doubt this project.

They don't even have lands to start with and the little in their possession is what you want to take for road construction?

This present FG can't construct road on swampy areas stretching beyond 3 states.

Let me give you a glimpse of what those areas are like.

If you are travelling from Yenegoa in Bayelsa state to Warri in Delta state, along the East West road, it is swampy on both sides with mangroves plantation. We are talking about over 15 bridges along the road before you get to Warri.

You need to see this road yourself and the environment. In that way, you must ask pertinent questions concerning this coastal highway.

It is coastal because the states involved have sea ports

Coastal road is named as such because the states sharing the road houses Nigerian ports. It does mean that the whole road will pass on water
Another ignorant, meaningless drivel.
You must think Nigeria is the first country to build a coastal road. What's the business of ports with a coastal road?

It's obvious you have travelled along that road from your explanation.

This is the reason I'm asking them to name the areas the coastal highway would pass through if they are serious. In Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers State including Akwa ibom is a no go area.

Just an avenue to channel SS oil resources to the SW.

Nothing more!

Buhari built pipeline from the Niger Delta to Kaduna..

Tinubu is building a coastal hugway from Lagos to the Niger Delta.

If there was resource control, everybody would have been busy developing his region, not connecting pipelines and highways to other people's resources.
You are NOT well informed.

That's a newspaper article Web line below from March 2024 featuring Chief Edwin Clark who is a foremost Ijaw and Nigerian nationalist commending the President Tinubu administration for starting the Lagos to Calabar Coastal highway construction.
