TheRealestGuy:


Ignoring all of your statements, my question to you is simple - why did the project not go through the bidding process via the BPE as enshrined in the laws; and why was their no Environmental Impact Assement completed before commencing the project?

Or should we not ask these questions because Tinubu wants to build Nigeria?

The same way he built pipelines straight from lagos state govt coffers to Bourdillon?

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!

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?

DeOTR:

So the government should leave developmental projects and focus on feeding you and buying you fuel, or what are you even saying?
The last time I checked, FG does not sell foodstuffs, fuel or distribute electricity.

Sannisege:
The coastal road as an alternative road will reduce stress on the internal roads thereby making them last longer. New communities will also spring up along the coasts leading to more economic activities and depopulation of already overpopulated internal urban and rural areas. How about travel time reduction? The advantages are endless.

Dpharisee:
You got it right, its simply because of tribalism that the support 15T for a road project while all the federal roads in bad shape across the country got N300b in the budget

LadyExcellency:


People are talking about the cost and economic wastage. As a father, you plan your family. You don't leave the children's school fees and feeding to start a new building project when the house you are living in has a leaking roof, and broken doors and windows. You don't tell the wife and children to shut up and don't sleep in the new house whenever you finish it. This is a ridiculous statement.

anonymous1759:



Why are you guys bitter ? Government is only paying 30% or less-in this project the rest is public, private partnership that’s why they’re tolling it which is reasonable, if FG was the one providing everything then I can listen to some of the criticism.

Kukutente23:

So since the road will be tolled and the people who use the road will pay tolls, it is okay for the contract to be awarded in a shaddy manner? What if the total real cost of the project is the $4bn to be contributed by FG and it was simply inflated to $15trn to justify the tolling?

Una generational wailing has just begun

LadyExcellency:


Are you human or something else? The issue of national interest is under discussion by all parties involved and you there make it a kitchen gossip and tribal matter?
Shit, shame on you. Nigeria will never move forward with this mentality.

The constant reminder to sycophants, the people deserve accountability.

Many of these people who write rubbish are mocked outside of Nigeria. Go check out all of the current wealthy nations. They began by developing infrastructure. Whether the economy is in depression or not, we must put structures, roads, railways, and seaways in place. We keep shouting that food is expensive...while farmers complain about bad roads. Consider how much food, oil, and other large items will be transported by rail across the entire region. And then the road will be preserved.

Many people are just educated illiterates in Nigeria.

I don't like Tinubu, I am not his fan... but during the election, I said it clearly that he would build Nigeria like he built Lagos. However, we will have his boys everywhere. Thuggery will reign... and many other bad things. Nigerians prefer him, and they have him. Shikena. Make dem manage am. But building infrastructure is not out of place.

Nigerians are gluttons. They prefer palliatives. Or have them use magic to put food on their table. They do not see the economic value in constructing this railway and road. They will finish it by the grace of God. Tinubu does not have records of abandoned projects. He is a man who chooses a follower to replace him and keep his projects going. The evidence is still in Lagos. He has many flaws, but I believe we should let this phase pass.

To me, let them keep putting infrastructure in place. We have reaped too many benefits from subsidies. Let us make sacrifices for our children and generations to come. Let us sacrifice for them. Even these politicians are embezzling, and we can do nothing. As long as infrastructure like this exists, we will eventually be able to confront corrupt politicians and control corruption.

Finally, it is beneficial to have opposition. While I condemn those who oppose this project, I still appreciate them. Everything requires checking and balancing.

Let us move Nigeria forward.

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.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
Tinubu is dead, arrangement already going on in the US to hand over power to shetima, that's the Latest breaking news. Shetima is currently in USA, Tinubu location is unknown. That has always been a situation in this country

CharleyBright:
Tinubu lo kan.
Anyone that think Tinubu doesn't intend to recoup the millions of dollars he threw in the elections, is out of his/her mind.

By the time Tinubu

Your stupidity and ignorance is laughable and pitiful. You sound like a pathetic bitter slowpoke.


.


.
My worry is the way his very dangerously ambitious son - Seyi Tinubu is hovering around the seat of power like a vulture will make the even more deep.
Emi lo kan is far from Awa lo kan.
But am happy that the Emi lokan supporters were the first to compose and sing the Ebi kpa wa sound track.
What you sow, you will reap.
