“Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, he also believes to be true” – Demosthenes, 384-322 BC, VANGUARD BOOK OF QUOTATIONS, p 224

If you honestly believe that the Lagos-Calabar Road will be completed in seven years, then you probably have rocks where brains should be; and you represent one of the cardinal reasons Africa might never develop for centuries to come. Nothing is more distressing than watching highly educated, erudite, well-informed and apparently patriotic media commentators destroy their reputations once they become officials of the ruling party.


The transformation first struck me when President Yar’Adua was elected; and several highly-respected editors and columnists were appointed to high office. The less said about that episode, the better. But, the matter did not end there. Jonathan succeeded Yar’Adua and individuals who were previously contemptuous of GEJ were again appointed to high office. Suddenly, they became ferocious defenders of the man they once condemned. Apparently, with regard to some Nigerian media personalities, “every man has his price”. Nobody should believe us until we are appointed to high office. Then media men reveal our true colours.


That is only a preamble to the matters arising concerning the biggest project in Nigerian history. My senior in the media, Dan Agbese, writing in the DAILY TRUST, two Sundays ago, had lamented the nation’s atrocious record with regard to abandoned projects. He briefly mentioned the Lagos-Calabar coastal road while expressing fears that the road might also join the league of such projects. I sent Dan a short message stating without fear that the road might never be completed; that it will stop any time Tinubu ceases to be President of Nigeria. Even Vice President Shettima if he succeeds Tinubu will not continue it because the decision to embark on it was hastily made.

SEVERAL QUESTIONS NEEDING ANSWERS

Before Tinubu’s Halleluyah chorus group – editors, Chairmen of the Editorial Board, columnists and guest writers – get all worked up, I am only asking them to be professional, honourable and to put on their thinking caps and answer a few questions. They might just be able to convince other Nigerians that this is not a bogus venture which will cost Fellow Nigerians trillions of naira later – without yielding the returns on investment promised.

The place to start this discussion is to establish some facts (facts are sacred as they claim, but don’t always practice) which are incontestable about this project.

One, it is the largest project in Nigerian history; covering nine coastal states each with different topology and all of which are now well-settled. Two, the road to be carved out will be 700 kilometres long; may be an African record, but, by far short of the Guinness Book of Records – which is the coastal road from Canada to South America – 30,000 kilometres long which took nearly 80 years to complete.
Three, although, the Federal Government has embarked on it, through a ‘SWEET HEART’ deal with a contractor, nobody actually knows how much it would cost the nation. But, over N1 trillion has been paid in advance to the preferred contractor. Four, it is doubtful if any of the state Governors, except Lagos, knows exactly where the road will pass through their states and what they will be asked to surrender to the FG for demolition. It is quite possible that no state has been formally requested to donate land for this purpose.
Five, it is uncertain that the National Assembly, NASS, was informed and its consent sought to embark on the journey. Six, whose brainchild was the idea? When and how was the original proposal presented to the Federal Executive Council for deliberations? Bearing in mind that Ministers were not appointed until August 2023, when did David Umahi know that this gigantic project was going to fall on his laps? How many pages of document were originally sent to his office to convince the engineer that this is a project that can be executed in seven years?

Seven, the President, while launching the project in Lagos State, on May 29, 2024, proclaimed that the “Coastal highway will boost 30 million businesses” – according to various media reports. If you believe that drivel, then you will believe anything.

Permit me to start from number seven; to ask the questions which Tinubu’s true believers would not ask – for a simple reason. I still strongly believe, like I. F Stone, 1907-1989, that “every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed,” – until they are fact-checked and found to be true. When the statement credited to a government official, irrespective of position, points to future expectations, then, the first thing to do is to determine the credibility of the speaker. The second thing is to subject the statement to critical analysis in order to assess whether available information supports it. If there is one thing politicians do routinely, and without remorse, it is to make empty promises – which their fanatical party members and media mercenaries spread as gospel truth. It is expected that some erudite media practitioners are already writing and talking as if 30 million businesses have been boosted. But, wait a minute.


How many businesses are there in Nigeria now? All the attempts to obtain a more current set of data were frustrated by Nigeria’s lack of a timely data base. The closest available was from moniepoint.com, which revealed that “39,654,385 macro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) operated in Nigeria in 2020; as against 41,543,028 in 2017.” DAILY TRUST chipped in the information that 3.1 million registered companies existed in 2019. Given the fact that Nigeria’s manufacturing sector had been shedding members, it is doubtful if the numbers of MSMEs and registered companies would have increased significantly since 2020 from approximately 42 million businesses. Tinubu, and his disciples, would want us to believe that 70 per cent of the nation’s businesses will be boosted by the coastal highway.

The first question is: How stupid do these people think we are? The second is: Can anybody publish within 48 hours the perspective study undertaken to arrive at the self-deceptive figure? Third, since this is not the first coastal highway ever built, can anybody in that government point to another precedent to assure Nigerians that this “road to nowhere” will boost 30 million businesses nationwide? I have a hunch. This brainwave originated from the same source(s) where the announcement of MAERSK Shipping Lines agreeing to invest $600 million in Nigerian ports. That hoax was actually supported with fake audio-visual presentation which was a tissue of lies. Why believe them now?

Now, we return to the first statement of fact. A federal road, 700 kilometres long, passing through nine states is contemplated in a country where the FG does not have a square inch of road to call its own, on account of the Land Use Decree of 1978, the obvious questions are: When were the Governors told of the peoples’ land they would be asked to forfeit? Can somebody show Nigerians a copy of the letter making the request? Obviously, all the Governors have an obligation to their people.

Granted, most of them behave like emperors once elected. But, there must be a limit to impunity. Is it possible that all the Governors – majority belonging to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, conspired with their APC colleagues to deny the people of every state the right to know that their ancestral lands were being offered to the FG; and that millions of them would be rendered homeless, jobless and destitute? Which Governor, worthy of the office, can come out and admit to such betrayal of his people? And why?

I strongly believe the Governors were ambushed and bullied to submit to the FG.


The seeds of future conflict might have been sown by this conspiracy of silence.

The road might not go beyond the boundary of Ogun State.

We should give them the benefit of doubt. If there's anything the APC government is good at, is they know how to deliver capital project.

We will be here Inshallah the criminal president just want to giveaway #15tr Nigerians money to his fellow thieves.

As a famous son of the south-south Ben Bruce, said, “SINCE YOU DON’T LIKE THE ROAD, WHEN THEY BUILD IT, DON’T DRIVE ON IT!”

Anything that goes to south-south is going to “nowhere”.

The same south-south that is feeding your mothers.

Idiots.

mrvitalis:

APC don't know zilch about growing the economy.

Real omoluabi speaking. Tinupoo slaves are senseless. I laugh at the useless minority tribes that are cheap to deceive by pitching then against Igbos. You people better get your priorities right. Road linking your populated cities are bad and someone is promising you coastal highway running on empty uninhabitable swamps

😄

There’s no country in the world that has finished it road construction, if they can get up to 500km in 7 years with other project, they deserve respect.

Nay sayers. How many abandoned project have you seen in Lagos?

“every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed,”

Let me add that Propaganda does not deceive the people; it merely helps the APC, Tinubu, and their supporters continue to deceive themselves.

Hmmm!

Most South-Southers feel betrayed by this criticism. Only Tinubu's opponents in SW and most of SE oppose this project. Some things should be left unsaid. To be honest, if this project is completed, the support gap between BTW, SS, and SE will widen significantly.

Akpabio and Tinubu are seriously uniting SS and SW. Hmmmm! Look at it deeply. While Igbos are just making it extremely hard to unite with them. Do you really think SS will follow their Biafran agenda? OK, oooo. But there are roads going through SE now. Their son serves as the Works Minister. But anything about SS, if it does not benefit Igbo, they spoilt it. And then some irrelevant SW too join them. But the truth is that SS will only count this man's article as a trash. Lol.

Regardless of what you say, I support any infrastructure development. This is what we need now. We need to connect everywhere.

Na food una want. Gluttons. If we sacrifice food to complete these infrastructure development projects, it is a win-win situation. We can not do much until we have a system in place to prevent looting. But at least, let them build Nigeria. What is so hard in this? Instead, let us put pressure on Tinubu to complete it, or ensure that the next president does. This should be our goal. Everyone should go to their constituency and ensure that their representatives begin submitting developmental ideas and projects to the presidency. Let us all wake up and press their heads. Let's stop this bitterness here and there.

As Ben Murray Bruce has stated, if you do not like the road after it is completed, do not drive on it.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
We should give them the benefit of doubt. If there's anything the APC government is good at, is they know how to deliver capital project.

Which capital projects?. How much does it cost?.

As far as I am concerned that project looks like money laundering scheme because that project will take three administrations to complete it and you all know politicians in Nigeria will rather take the glory than giving it to another administration to carry the glory.

omoiyamayor:
There’s no country in the world that has finished it road construction, if they can get up to 500km in 7 years with other project, they deserve respect.

'There's is no country in the world....' Why do you people like using foolish statements like these when it's time to defend nonsense. Oya pay citizens like other countries in the world, you people will start foaming in the mouth.

Bizibi:

It doesn't look like a money laundering scheme; it is a money laundering scheme in all ramifications.

Labour about to go on strike, civil servants are dieing of hunger, d already built roads are death traps , no electricity yet u want to build new roads, more of it ,I wonder how developed world will be rating our iq ,if tomorrow they say we are animals we will rush to fight, I hail us more 3 years to go

That project ends max in Lagos outskirts

The same way some ediots denied second niger bridge. One of my coursemate even promised not to plight the bridge whenever he is going to Imo state. They are bunch of ediots that pray for their country to fail

...the ones on nairaland will rather hide under their blanket in shame

BitterTruth0001:


lol even Onanuga cannot answer these questions
Is it these ones on nairaland that will answer ?

Abacha's loot will be a child's play by the time Thiefņubu finishes with Nigeria

They deceived Nigerians that the contractor would finance the project but secretly wired over #1 Trillion to the same contractor.
.

Conduit pipe for looting.
Tinubu family get lion share of it.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
We should give them the benefit of doubt. If there's anything the APC government is good at, is they know how to deliver capital project.

did you read the article at all? what benefit of the doubt are you giving? how is it possible to conceive a project of such a magnitude and start executing it under just one year? what is the benefit of this road to nigerians? what is the state of the existing roads along lagos calabar axis that a new one is now an option? which capital projects is APC government good at delivering and at what cost to nigerians are these projects?

..the only people who are in support of the highway of fraud are the cheap good for nothing hungry minions..who depend & support lies, deceit and propaganda to feed themselves and their hungry families..

..they are hungry desperate pieces of APCshit..

Iganmu to Badagry is still uncompleted after over 20 years, that's to tell anyone with a working brain that Umahi and his team are just being deceptive.

That road project is a farce. Just like ebonyi airport, umahi has jumped into another unrealistic project. Atleast from that money, tinubu will get like 2trn, umahi 1trn, the rest will share another 5trn. Embezzlement galore.
