hmmmm, but bro what is the solution

me i wish we let them go

they have make online space toxic

i am tired of fighting and typing every time


It is very tiring. Many worldwide cannot even imagine the horrid situation Nigerians are in. I.e having to fight each other so much and so hatefully to the extent there is little or no energy left to fight our common enemies and problems.

A nation primed to forever sabotage itself and set to perpetually fail if we continue as things are currently constituted.

The solution is for Yorubas, and all other progressive ethnic groups, to work for and insist uncompromisingly on a return to regional autonomy. Let us not leave it to Tinubu alone. We must try to get involved to force the hand of political leaders.

Not only will regional autonomy grant us the freedom to develop our region as we please but the era of busybody hateful and malevolent obsession of Igbos with Yorubas, and everything happening in the SW, will end as no Nigerian ethnic group will be sparred attack if they continue to linger in the business of others rather than face their own affairs.

Regional governance will tasks us all to focus on developing our respective regions with our human, mineral and material assets.

You will be named and shamed under it if you keep focusing on other people and their region rather than on yourself and your region as Igbos have always obsessed with doing against the Yorubas even from the days Azikiwe's main aim in life was to make Yorubaland an annex of Igboland.

Name state with a better pipe borne water system than Enugu and get 100k

Do you want to deny that Enugu can barely provide pipeborne water to over 90% of its residents?

You think you are conversing with someone who has not toured that your shithole ye@st?

Look , whenever I tell any of you folks in real life that I have been to your Ye@st that is the time they all stop boasting shit to me because they know I know they are lying and that their SE is one big dumpster fire .

How much toll would you charge on that road

3rd mainland bridge takes 170,000 cars per day... Say this one takes 80,000 cars daily in fact 100,000 cars

Say you toll it 1000 . .. That's 100 million per day

That's 36.5 billion yearly

Would take you 22.5 years to breaks even... That's not even adding maintenance and cost of toll collection.. That would shift it to 30 years minimum

You know what the interest payment of that loan would be after 30 years?

Even if it's at 5% the intrest alone would 40 billion

So it can't even generate enough revenue to pay intrest


You are pretty dumb, guy.

Never said it not useful.. I said projects like that should never be down when your economy is struggling like we are now or done with borrowed funds

Is that too difficult for you to understand?


mrvitalis:

And what is the economic benefits of 3rd mainland bridge?

A simple fairy system that can carry people and car would do and generate billions

All you APC people know is to build worthless projects that u can brag with, that's all

For you that's governance

GDP growth, HDI and other relevant development stats means nothing to you

Dou you even read your post over before pressing submit?

By the way, the APC did not build TMB, the Military did.


Your post is not only sad and embarrassing, but it's ridiculous and disheartening that we still have people like you with an anti-progress and development mentality.

We are talking about the second-longest bridge in Africa, it moves people, goods, and services, and even the economic importance of this bridge is immeasurable.

Just imagine, that countries worldwide are developing, and building massive infrastructures including bridges, but backed-thinking people like you think we should stick to ferry boats in 2024.

My joy about the coastal road when completed is the reduction in travel time, reduced transportation cost from Lagos (the most populated state in Nigeria) to the SS..I think the minister said From Lagos to Calabar will be 4 hours...It means i can travel to Calabar in the morning and by evening,im back to Lagos without my neighbor knowing that i travelled.

There are just so many more countless benefits to that road, first off the economy of all the places along the route will improve, and it's time for Ijaws to benefit from being Nigeria.

Like someone earlier said, freight traffic will be diverted on there freeing up the inner roads.

Let's just hope and pray the government doesn't allow anyone building mega churches around the route.

Even if it is tolled, I am yet to see any downside. Dem go chopulate moni, true, but na Naija we dey and pipo no go vex as dem see di benefit.

You build infrastructure after investing in the people

As your people grow richer then need and can afford certain infrastructure then you build them


You don't build infrastructure and expect development

Enugu provide more pipe borne water than any state In Nigeria

No state comes close

Enugu water issue is obviously because people can't dig borehole like other states

Does Lagos or above have pipe Borne water?

So you'd rather ferry the millions of people that cross the third mainland bridge daily so that the government can make money.

When we talk about economic benefit, we're not talking about making money. We're talking about the changes and impact on the economy that the project provides.

Let's even go with your ferry idea. How big would it have to be to carry the volume of people on the third mainland bridge daily? What would the traffic gridlock all over Lagos look like without that bridge?

The guy is most probably a developer. They're the ones capable of such galactically idiotic level of "reasoning".

You said plenty thing and said nothing... What exactly is the economic benefit of 3rd mainland bridge

It has zero economic benefits as it doesn't generate revenue

Is it a bad project no... But it's a feel good projects my only issues with feel good projects are when they are build in period of economic hardship or built with borrowed funds

You empty guys just shout and make zero point

Note ;- it's obvious most of you guys quoting me don't even know what economic benefits means... So far no body have been able to name one economic benefits of the 3rd mainland bridge or even second niger bridge

Those are feel good projects
are they good yes
are they important yes

But should never be built on borrowed funds
Should never be built when economy is not growing

How do you invest in people without infrastructure?

Don't you have to build schools, colleges and universities to educate and train the people? Don't you have to build roads, and bridges to transport people to places of work and education? Don't you have to build hospitals to heal the people?

Btw, how do you grow richer without infrastructure? How do you trade, and move goods and services without roads and bridges or 200 million people must only depend on the ferry and products from our industries and manufacturing plants must be transported to markets and other locations via ferry only?

Do you not see how backward, ridiculous and absurd you sound?

You replying everyone with the same intelligent comment.

This your economic idea is for myopic leaders that lack visions.
Any serious leader with vision will look beyond the present economic realities and go ahead to execute any projects he feels will bring massive development and reduce the suffering of his people.

According to you, Nigeria should only consider project as good as the 3rd mainland and lagos- Calabar coastal road when they have excess money on ground.
When exactly is that time going to come? On the other hand, you are saying Nigerians can continue to suffer or wait till eternity before any govt can make any feel good projects a priority because the economy is poor.

USA and other developed countries have a lot of feel good projects which they executed with borrowed funds because they prioritize the well being and comfortability of their citizens above the debt they will incur.

That is also why they are in massive debt despite their massive developments.
Everything should not be about executing only projects that will generate money, Nigeria is not a business center. Nigeria is a country whose citizens deserve a better life no matter the economic reality.

They've all turned minimalists after it came to light their Obi has nothing to show for 8ys as governor of Anambra.

They now say it's better for government to save money into private portfolios that will be stolen by same governors and later used to build substandard boreholes in the north .

Still in shock no body including you have been able to name just one economic benefits
Stop pretending not to see where folks have outlined some benefits.

A lot of people including me are too shocked to begin to attempt to respond to this kind of thinking. That will be too mentally draining, however, these gentlemen or/and ladies have written out a few. Even this is scratching the surface.

To even think that you claimed (I believe I have read that somewhere) that you hold an MBA.. This makes it even more frightening.


Georgry:
Arrogance is a disease, basic knowledge of economics will tell you that there are different types of government expenditure, there are expenditures that the government are not expecting to directly benefit from which you are suggesting.

To your question, the importance of that bridge cannot be overemphasised, it reduces the number of car or canoe accident that would have been happening always without that bridge because of the large number of people that use that route daily, that's health benefit..

It also improve transportation efficiency. It ensure smooth transit of goods and services thereby Ifacilitating trade because it reduces the number of hours that you are supposed to use to move your goods and services without that bridge, it also makes the movement of goods and services easier and smother.


That's just 2 importance of that bridge, I studied finance and banking, I can even right a project about the economy benefit of that bridge in Nigeria and I'm going to score an A.

Yes it's good, but borrowing money in a struggling economy to build a feel good project is why we are here today lossing 50% plus of our GDP

Let me ask you did... Building your house is it bad? , buying a car is it bad?

Now what would you call a man who's monthly income is 500k but expenses is 800k

He gets loan of 100 million that would increase expenses to 1.2 million based on pay back

He then use the 100 million to buy house and car, then set aside 3 million for investment

What would u call such a man?


If our revenue is greater than recurrent expenditure and debt servicing... Now we can use the extra to build infrastructure ...

Right now making your people richer, growing GDP and revenue should be number 1 priority
