Were exactly are they

..

So if you dey build house... Because you don build first floor finish, u no go put furniture and fittings abi?

helinues:

No dey use your horrible situation to dey judge others

mr bragger

Senior man,you really talk my mind oh.

This current istration carry cart put for front while the horse deh for back.

Your guess is as good as mine!

All our existing roads deh very bad shape & deadly too but this government nor send at all.

E just deh unfortunate seh the country deh drift mode🤔

My oga, I tire for the government.

I used to run travel a lot by road a few years ago. Those roads are awful. Some parts of the so called federal roads are death traps. From Ilorin,to Ibadan, to Benin, to Bayelsa, to Minna. Awful roads, chief.

And many other roads ooo. But they won't do that. Instead, na coastal road Dem face. For trillions of naira. Ahhahn! What wickedness.

While the Lagos/Calabar coastal road would be an interesting sight, I have many problems with it:

1) The government should first tidy up federal roads and make them drivable and safe. I've been to many parts of this country, and our federal roads are a deathtrap. Roads should be easily drivable, without senseless potholes.

dederocs:

Your statement about roads being bad and this road being constructed makes no sense, this is a new route, a road that saves travel time, and connect south, east, North on a straight line...the governors with so much money should be fixing those roads that es through their states.

The role of the federal government is to fix federal roads. E no too hard.

Why construct a new road for north of 3trn rather than repair existing ones? Make it make sense.

Franking:


Freestuffng, Helinues and other nairaland Reno and Bwala, oya come and disrespect your family name.

They won't. Not in their blood.

Helinus plumbed a new low this morning. A 15 year old was remanded in Kirikiri without trial and Helinus was defending it. That's both brainless and evil.

At no time will any project of this scale not evoke questions, complaints and condemnation (in some cases). This is where the will of vision sets in - one that looks beyond tofay to the future. America built roads all over the huge mass of land - they looked ahead and didn't import these little, though valid sentiments, into what would be the I-10, I-20s of today. If you look at the vast road network of the US, you will see and understshd why this is as needed as d. We can't only be living for now or be working like locomotives - looking for perfection. Imagine all the states that this road is crossing through and how it it will impact logistics in 10 years time if I can do Calabar in 6 hours from Lagos. It's bigger than these issues you raise.

2) Will this road be completed on time? I have a strong feeling that this road will eventually be a white elephant project that won't be completed in the next 10 years. Investing billions on a long stretch of road while the existing ones are an eyesore is ridiculous to me.

3) Why wasn't this project bid for? Why was it awarded without other construction companies submitting their bid? Sounds very tyrannical and impulsive. For a project this large, and this expensive, there should have been a fair bidding process.

4) Why are we spending so so so much on a road, when we have other more pressing issues? An estimated cost of more than 3tr is to be spent on this road. Why? Why not spend same money on kickstarting 24/7 electricity? Why not invest it in interstate security, so that kidnapping would be a thing of the past? Why not spread the money across other more important projects?

So many questions, so little answers. I have many reservations.

Abeg make dem finish the road fast.
I wan trek from Lagos to calabar for VDM.
Lagos to Abuja no dey pay again. E don cast 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

1) Selective Bidding is an exclusive right to the Client.
2) Three trillion in Naira isn't alot of Money for such Magnitude of Work, check smaller jobs been executed by majority of companies in Nigeria and you will be waw.
3) This project is timely and well thought off, and it's economic importance cannot be over emphasise. We only hope for a timely completion.
4) If previous istration have genuinely tackled and area of interest, we would have had other sectors up and running. Our Budget unless their is improvement isn't fit to tackle multiply mega projects.
5) Various federal highways are been remodeled and works are extensively going on, unless you not in with reality. Those are roads whose budgets have already been factored out by the ministry.

2) 3tr is a lot of money in any currency. Why spend such when you can channel to more pressing issues eg 24/7 electricity? ☹️☹️☹️

3) The project is not timely. It's just a babel-like project aimed at making a name for Tinubu and his ev!l party

5) Please, show me the roads that have been remodeled and repaired. I wanna see. Genuinely.

MightySparrow:


Apart from floating Naira and subsidy removal, can't you see the aggressiveness in projects execution and funding?

Tinubu is not coming for a joke. Giving him eight years, so many things would be put in place. He laid the foundation of the greatness of Lagos. No incompetent person can rule Lagos now. Such a one will ridicule himself.
Let us be watching.

Are you kidding me?

Only if you know the IGR weh lagos deh generate monthly enh,yet lagos still be confirm slump.

No pipe borne water.

No steady electricity.

No standard hospitals.

No standard schools.

Etc

70% of Lagos money deh enter personal pockets & buying of luxury SUV'S law makers,political kings etc.

I was going to call you another bitterleaf but you already warned everyone not to abuse you!

In response to your concerns;
1. Government is in continuum, rehabilitation of existing roads is ongoing. The ongoing new roads in all 6 geopolitical zones of the country is PBAT's legacy project. You can educate yourself more on these projects through Umahi's press briefings.

2. The projects are scalable, meaning each completed section can be put to immediate use. 30km that will be commissioned this May 29, will ease tremendous traffic on the lekki corridor and bring back beach goers and tourism to that axis. Check numerous YouTube videos to see for yourself.

3. Every government does single source for projects of huge exigencies. OBJ gave Lagos Ibadan express road to Bi-Courtney under competitive bidding. For 10 years the company did nothing. Until Jonathan cancelled and awarded to 2 consortium of JB and RCC. Single sourcing.

4. Anytime road infrastructure is done in an underdeveloped area, value of land in that area goes up. Do you know why? More properties are quickly developed in that area boosting economic activities immensely. Watch the YouTube video of the costal road to give you an idea of the vast economic activities that will be unleashed in that region. If you can afford it, invest in that region now! You will thank me later.

5. Security is the fabric of every society, ours is peculiar. I have said it before, the Edo hausa hunters lynching is a reflection of where we are at the moment. Solutions cannot be all kinetic.

6. Electricity ecosystem is being reworked. Similar to what OBJ did with telcom, to be mostly private sector driven. We will get there as well.

Happy to engage in a reasonable argument here.

The role of the federal government is to fix federal roads. E no too hard.

Why construct a new road for north of 3trn rather than repair existing ones? Make it make sense.

Your statement about other roads being bad and this one being constructed is senseless, millions that live along that corridor appreciate the road, it saves travel time and reduce cost of travel, this is a new road, we never had a road that connects Nigeria so easy, I pray the road finishes timely, it will boost economic drive and movement...and it's a safer road to travel on.

The road is not for North, it connects vi to Epe, connect Lagos to South South and southeast, the road benefits all.

Try to talk with sense, even though you think the road has no benefit for you, it has benefit for millions of Nigerians, don't always be myopic.

1) A highway Engineer knows that isn't money when it comes to such type of road. Forget the Figure, that is lean. Such reducing reducing travel time from lagos to Abuja to 4 hours isn't a bad one.
2) Once you have a competent hand who knows exactly what he is doing , ensure you harness him to the Fullest. The minister of Works, knows exactly what he is doing ,We can't say the same for Power. In the first instance ,haven't alot of Money been put into the Power sector before hand ? Unless Tinubu is convinced he have gotten a minister like Umahi in the Power sector, then let's keep waiting. Heard him speak and he knows his trade.
3) Drive around major highway and see, I need not start listing . Like I said earlier, roads which haven't been worked upon are still under review.

When and England wanted to start euro tunnel project they started from both England and at the same time, our own coastal road project everytime they keep showing us ibeju lekki where is calabar end of it ?like sowore said tinubu wanted that road for lagos city project if your thinking that road will reach calabar then you will also believe one day all Nigerians will be enjoying 24/7 electricity or every house in nigeria will have 24/7 water pumps

Lols, I know you may not be from the East , but with this statement of yours, just like they made it that before you comment on the Muslim thread you will swear that Allah is your god.....

So it is here, any criticism against Yoruba/ Hausa Fulani Muslim Government is a compulsory oath that you are from the South East ...

So Pathetic.....but we move regardless

like the east west road that has been under construction for ages? Waste of resources! If the government rates citizens they would have known that the coastal high is not in the list of needs of an average citizen

NetbizBoss:
What has this istration done in Akwa Ibom State?
The Lagos Calabar Higher that the y are talking about. It is only Lagos section that is being constructed. after this first term it will be abundon just like Buhari decieve us with the construction of Calabar Itu road. After he won second term he abundon the road

Construction is on the way in Cross River State.

That means you do not know those people. They do not have shame.

They will most likely use the road before you, they will even snap pictures on the road, post it on their social media and still abuse the project in spite of that.

That thing called shame or burying one's head in the sand non de their dictionary

Are you ing this istration? If yes anything written about this government and the coastal lines are rubbish. Come out to condemn the exchange rate, hyper inflation, executive rascality, corruption, insecurity, and a lot more going on in this istration before we can engage in constructive arguement. You have to show that you have brain and human sympathy before expecting sane minds to hear from you.

Not dragging tribalism into this but if your papa could solve a quarter of these problems, he would have ended at least A GOVERNOR.

One of the failures which your father probably ed to you is the INABILITY NOT TO RESEARCH OR CHECK FOR FACTS. If you had checked for facts, you'll know that government just completed the Lafia-Akwanga-Makurdi Rd and is akready working on the Makurdi-Otukpo-Anyigba rd which has been dead since the time of Obasanjo and David Mark. Do your checks well, many project which were left dormant these past years are now under serious construction.

The problem with some of you is your believe in MEDIOCRE POLITICIANS.
