It's a coastal highway; has nothing to do with the State Capitals or major cities.

It would traverse coastal towns and hopefully attract investments and development to these towns over time.

is the road intended to connect humans, or connect swamps with ocean? Are these the humans that will be driving on the road?
Don't roads lead to places where commercial activities are happening.

The map I'm even showing you makes it look as if some of the places this road crosses has solid land. It is a road across floodplains and mud.

After all, why aren't those cities themselves closer to the atlantic other than knowing their environment.?

But that coastal Niger delta is porous (hence this road will need hundreds of bridges). Believe it or not, those communities access or are reasonable close to the atlantic. because that region is a grouping of muddy uninhabited islands and flood plains



What this road MIGHT do is block those place's access to the atlantic. Because Nigeria builds lowe idiotic bridges that ships cannot traverse, so it will effectively make Lagos the only coastal city in Nigeria

You have to know the geopgrahy of the places this road will cross and know why humans don't live there. It is mud and water, and is undergoes extreme flooding when it rains. this of Makoko in Lagos but with less people

This map shows that that they don't plan to do any roads in those areas

Only someone who haven't been to those places would dream. Of doing roads their

Some of those rivers are 5km 10km wide at those points they drew the maps

Every Niger Delta person who sees this map know it's a scam

The swamps in those places most of those mangroves are floating on 10m waters

The thought of this coastal road blocking ship access for ports in Delta, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom states never crossed my mind! Any bridge as low as that new 2nd Niger bridge would sound the death knell for seaports in the aforementioned states!

Roads can be diverted to give way for seaport.

The proposed site for Ondo seaport won't be affected by the coastal road project. I don't know of other states though

I am not familiar to the Delta and beyond side but I very familiar with Ogun and some part of Ondo. Your assertion is false that Lagos will only be the coastal road.

Most igbos oppose the idea because they know that is the grand play. Sometimes when we're talking who want us to be their enemy will get ginger.

But unbeknown to me, it is also blocking every major Niger Delta port and excluding every Niger Delta city.

OP, it didn't pass through Ikeja, the capital of Lagos State

Ofodirinwa:


It still touches Lagos the city, that is the main point. I'm not saying capitals should be connected, Im saying why is a Lagos Calabar road by passing 90% of the commercial centers of the states it bypasses.

Mind you the road will take land from indigenes
the road will more than likely block the seaports of the established cities
the road will be more easy to access as a Lagosian than as a Warri, Benin, PH or Aba man

Most Lagosians live on the mainland and the location of the Coastal road is very far even from the largest and most populated LGA in Lagos. You are actually contradicting yourself to a large extent sir

Ok so the cities on Ogun are worth of connection, the cities of Ondo are worth of connection, Lagos is worthy of connection. But

Port Harcourt

Uyo

Warri

Yenegoa

Benin

are villages

If they can by pass Calabar they would. This is a play to assure Lagos remains the only port as commerce is shifting to the Great Niger Delta region in Nigeria

If you people need more evidence. Go to the section directly below PH. That is open sea. That open sea will have a bridge on it.
if you pay attention, you will see that this open sea is wider than PH as a city, meaning they will build a bridge that spans the entire width of PH over the ocean. This bridge, if it is low hanging, is the end of the the PH sea port.

The real purpose of the project will become obvious very soon. Since you can't stop it, don't make a fuss about it.
The swamps of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers is the real deal. Nobody go tell them.

Okay suggest any other route from Lagos state to Calabar without passing through Ogun state

Abeokuta is the capital city of Ogun state, the road did not pass there. But the express line connecting Lagos to Abeokuta/Ibadan

Ondo state is the nearest state from South West To South South
