We may have several opinions about this, but the reason we criticize the Government is lack of infrastructural development & co, I believe the landmark project may be just one out of many projects that could be affected, the funds that would go down in this project wouldn’t be a joke for me to think someone wants to hurt or hunt another because he is from a certain tribe. Think about the development that the coastal road would bring to the country. Let him be fully compensated.
This Super highway Project can be re routed and avoid demolishing the resort which is worth Billions of Naira. Umahi is an Engineer for Gods sake, call for a reroute design? When the resort was approved for execution, didnt they refer to the Master plan of Lagos before giving him approval? And is the government willing to make 100% refund for the damages before demolition of any affected part of the resort? You cannot be pulling down a Nation you are trying to build. Use your sense of ingenuity Mr Minister.
Why destroy a beautiful beach front and replace it with noisy trucks and car polluted Highway traffic. The Cost of building this Fancy Luxury Coastline Highway is Huge. Nigeria is not known for highway maintenance. Nigeria current Road System are in deplorabe Conditions. Nigeria urgently need a Commercial and passenger railway system.
Please Mr Minister think of ways to avoid or reduce demolitions that would affect the livelihood of people because of this laudable project. If the span is reduced in such locations, I believe, the reduction & avoidance I am referring to, would be achieved. Thanks for kick-starting the project.
Hmmmm Complicated mindsets,,, Nigeria,, nawaoo,,, Is it that we're too big in number to be united or what,,, yoruba dey fire igbo,, Hausa dey fire yoruba,, Igbo dey fire government chai,,, Where do we go from here.... Religion dey one side dey bewitch Nigeria,, while tribalism dey make us loose focus then government dey take the opportunity to loot Nigeria.... Unity seems to be faraway from Nigeria with this mindset,,, I wonder... Always reading extensive meaning into everything tribally... I pray that God will someday help us by giving Nigerians the grace to breakout of the confusing mindset that the west and colonial interest has encrypted in Nigerians... Nigeria will be great someday... God bless Nigeria....
Demolition happens everywhere in the world but when its done in Nigeria its taken to be hatred to someone or unappreciate, Some Nigerians and your thier minds is so unbelievable . Bringing enthicity and tribalism
Go to kaduna and see what demolition has caused The state is owing a huge debt plus, Soo called compensation from the government don't acct for 40% of what those citizens initially owned.
You are wrong. Why should you destroy the biggest and best beach resort in Lagos and West Africa because of a road project when it can be bypassed underground or overhead? White men will not do that. You don't destroy your best things that you should be proud of. They should bypass it.
@@terminateurextra-ordinaire3925 are you an engineer , do you know if there is a reason that can't be an alternative. Let me tell you , the same the project is going to impact negative to some persons same way it's gonna impact positively to other persons.
What is the point of building road along a water coast? The water body is enough to support transportation of goods and people in a better way. The road should be directed to the main land. I don't think it is an economically feasible project. May be the reason is something I don't understand.
These business owners should have been consulted a long time ago about what the government was planning to do, not just give them seven days to quit. This is typical of a government that has no plan. Everything is done on the go.😢
@@muhammedmuniru9840 well... There are many ministers and we can see their track record I'm not taking away credit from Tinubu But I'm lauding umahi's quality as a man that will push for projects like this and carry them out with clean results
@@muhammedmuniru9840 secondly if you were any where as intelligent as you subject you won't be typing this foolishly by trying insult without making a sensible statement
I don’t think it will be wise to condemn our entire coastal line because of a highway(s), the road and rail can be moved inward like 2km along the coastline
I would have preferred that the humongous amount of money for that job be invested in the mining industry, where half the materials for the construction of that highway abound but remained untapped. Why should one expend N4 billion for a kilometer stretch of road no matter its soil condition? We have a surfeit of Bitumen and Granite, some of the basic construction materials, in the Nigerian states of Ondo, Edo, Ogun and Lagos, as well as Granite in Ogun, Enugu, Kogi, Ebonyi, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Plateau begging to be exploited. Why is Nigeria, the 6th country in the world with the largest reserve of Bitumen still importing Bitumen, to the tune of 268,000t last year alone, from far-flung countries such as Germany, Italy and India, when our 45.7 billion barrels of it lies untapped?! Could it be because importing such materials (in dollars) makes it an easier source of corrupting the system and making personal gain from public funds? Again, the abandoned petroleum refineries in Nigeria are capable of extracting Bitumen from hydrocarbon by-products. Why are they still lying dead with no plan to bring them back to life? ON GRANITE, another prominent road construction material: Why is Nigeria still importing this resource from far away countries such as China, South Africa, South Korea, India, Turkey and Italy, when we have a surfeit of it in the Nigerian states of Enugu, Ogun, Ebonyi, Kogi, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Plateau? It has become obvious that the importation of these materials is the main reason we are spending so huge an amount of N4 billion - no matter the exchange rate of the Naira to the dollar- to build a ONE MILE stretch of road in Nigeria. It is prodigal and unacceptable. It is the same manner of profligacy that exists in our Steel, Glass, Petrochemical and Aluminium industries which together form part of the foundations of an industriased nation. Nigeria has the basic raw materials to be positioned as an industrialised country if those resources are judiciously tapped, but "for where"? The lust for the filthy dollar through the award of huge dollar contracts "nor allow Nigerian leaders to think properly..." The next general elections must address this issue and no amount of religeous or ethnic-based preferencies must be allowed in taking such decisions. ONE MORE THING ON THE LAGOS-CALABAR COASTAL ROAD: Permit me to digress from the subject to a bit of politics. Remember, during last year's general election campaigns, Tinubu had publicly advised Lagosians and Yorubas that electing Peter Obi as president could only mean that Lagos will lose the advantage of continuing as the only state hosting the seaports to which about 90 percent of imported goods to Nigeria's 230 million-strong population berth, with the state benefitting in scores of ways from every imported item. That is the secret of Lagos' source of wealth - taking from what belongs to all. He had warned his people that voting Peter Obi for president will take away that advantage, as he, Peter Obi, will share some of those imported cargos to the seaports of Port Harcourt, Warri and Calabar, to the loss of Lagos ports. What Tinubu came up with to attempt to preempt that possibility? Announce the "Construction of a highway named Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road" to dissuade those clamouring for the refurbishment and opening of those seaports in the hinterland by providing a new road to keep the Igbos who make up the bulk of importers from asking for the opening of the ports at Calabar, Port Harcourt and Warri, which are closer to them than Lagos. Did you get the hint? While people such as Pa Edwin Clarke and ex-militant kingpin, Asari Dokubo and others in their likeness, wallow in praise-worship of Tinubu for commencing on the project that has too low a probability to inspire belief, given costs etc., time goes on and Lagos continues to collect those revenues from the ports, increased number of estate developers, tenants and the huge work force etc. that have both impacted positively the economy of Lagos State above those of other states. Let me risk a guess. That project will not be completed during Tinubu's term(s) in office. It's idea is to continue to deflect criticism from the South-South and Southeast re the absence of a functional seaport in their region, and to provide breathing space for Lagos State to carry on as the only destination for incoming imports to Nigeria for as long as it takes.
@@Diyeni-jj3qx like I said .. the old design included Edo and secondly it's a strench road ok? It connects... how do you have Ondo . And Delta and Edo that is in the middle of them is not connected?

I know what you are talking about now. Are they not different projects. I don’t think the coastal project affects the other but I’m not in government so what do I know
Even the Onirus - the original owners of the land - lost billions worth of property. Not everything is tribal, try and get conversant with things first.
Nothing good will ever come from APC govt, they know how to distract people with great projects, but wait for it, you soon begin to hear that Mr. Lagbaja didn't do this or that, very soon you will know that Seyi Tinubu is the recipient of the goodies and stylishly the project will end up in controversy
There must be a way to build this supper coastal highway without demolishing Landmark resort. Every engineering and socioeconomic problem has a range of solutions.
don't share this excitement. These businesses in the Landmark area.. Heart breaking, if you're a business person. 700km of road will not be finished in four years. Why don't we leave these businesses alone for now and go start the construction elsewhere?
The last part of this video is blackmail. I hope people will learn that one day one administration will wake up and reclaim government property. Demand for compensation if you have legal documents and stop all this blackmail.
The cost is outrageous! That project will not be completed in 4 -8 years because of corruption! There are a 1001 ways it can be built without touching landmark but for tribal sentiments and malice!!! Nigeria dey play.
They managed to exclude Edo state the heart beat of Nigeria. And Hitech belong to Thiefnubu and his crew. These ones are Edo /Bendel haters by default. ....... Awolowo Babangida and the Fulani gangsters Obasanjo Tinubu That whole coast is the bight of Benin and you excluded Edo from such an infrastructure. Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! The politics to keep Edo under developed started since 1867 and note Edo will be great Again.We can and we will make Edo great Again.
Lol is edo a coastal state? Delta is a coastal state and it will pass through Delta. If you can move Benin down to the coast tho, maybe your wish will be considered. imagine saying Oyo/Ibadan is excluded from a coastal road! Or you want them to leave Delta and reroute the road through Benine just so it can pass through it?
@@oluwatayoalabi This Nigeria ensured that what was left of Benin Kingdom must be destroyed or stagnated. The story you are failing at is probably older than you. So get your books and read about this space on the face of the earth. I can't do that for you.

The coastal road was conceived under General Gowon. Even Lagos State Government had to abandon a big hospital project along that route because of the road. If Landmark has any government approval, let him produce it.
The Federal Government did not stick to the original route which is the water corporation road which is still undeveloped because every one avoided it because of the road. Now this new route cuts through landmark only and returns to the original route
So the road can not pass through another place. Shaii, i laugh that Igbo man. Those that have eyes let them see, and those that have ears, let them hear.
The CALABA and LAGOS super high way should please start from both ends CALABA and LAGOS. Understand me please . Start now from the CALABA END now PLEASE IMMEDIATELY and the super high way construction ceremony meets at Sentral end point and commissioned. Thanks for the good work.
Since the project is huge one , the should compensate the landmark and continue the project , is done allover the world even in Dubia during thier metro project sky scripers was brought down and compensation paid ,
This is a great project, there will always be losses and gain for a project like this. It will affect some existing businesses and at the same time, new ones will be created as a result of the project in all the states it will go through. More than any thing, millions of commuters along that route will be positively affected. Over all the gain supercedes the loss.
Hitech is owned by tinubu. Tinubu awarded a 15 trillion naira project to himself and Nigerians are quiet. By the time they are done with this country it's only God that will help us
Why is no one talking about the businesses that will be destroyed and sending the employees back to the street to look for jobs? Although the project is good, people will also be out of jobs.
Let'face it, you call it Landmark Beach Resort. What does that tell you. It means that that it is by the beach or in fact over looking the water body. If a ❓ need be asked, can't government wear a human face for once and realign the path of the earmarked road. I want to believe that it is possible. So government(FG and Lagos SG) should better do something, leave Landmark and it's outfit alone. Please for the sake of the economy of both Federal and State governments, IGR, business, entrepreneurship, especially tourism, chart an alternative course for the Lagos-Calabar highway.
My problem with this project is that I see it as a conduit to misappropriate funds. Why was it awarded to Tunubu's company (Hytek). I'm sure the project did not go through competitive bidding, but awarded to Hytek to enable Tinubu recover the huge money he spent during and after the elections.
Demolition of a Multi billion Naira business ROI is totally wrong. The road can go above the Landmark as a bridge with a reasonable high above sea level or they adopt an underground highway tunnel of 1.5km. Either way it's an additional beauty of its class in that area which will further add to the beauty of that location, state and county at large. Let's get this started people. Make we preach this idea until it sinks into their thinking cap. We will benefit from this in a long term. I can't wait to hit that road on a long adventure journey.
@lemiphil2388 you know some people are hell-bent to find fault in just about anything. Even if you are walking in water, they will say you are raising dust.
Nice project idea...I hope they will not abandon the poject half way!...very typical of nigerian project. However demolition of Landmark is totally unwise.
Why this fire brigade approach at all time whenever government is planning big projects in Nigeria they should have given people time to arrange themselves for the project instead of the unnecessary pressure they are subjected to and what a right violation on the innocent victims !
I sniff currupt selfish interest here. Dear African ministers it not illegal to put your citizens first rather than your own selfish business interests.
Landmark is the only beach affected by this new route. The fact is that Landmark beach need not be destroyed at all as the Water Corporation road which landmark is asking the FG govt to return to is undeveloped and is more cost effective for the government to use. it is totally unfair and unjust to want to take the livelihood of 12k people and add them to the over 10m employed youth when there is an alternative route. it's simply baffling. Mind you after destroying the Landmark beach and taking away 12k jobs the road goes back to the Water Corporation Road to protect many other ocean front properties further down the road. SAVELANDMARK BEACH
This project on the Lagos end is a no-brainer especially considering the collateral damage and the fact that this coastal highway will only be few miles from the high capacity lekki-epe expressway. In my opinion, the funds from this project will be better spent fixing, modernizing and securing our current highways and railways nationwide. We do not need such a project now.
Is it only ibo man properties that were been abolished for the coastal road, let us stop tribalising issues ? Some people are just awakening tribal sentiments for no reason
The project will start and end in Lagos. Ajaokuta , Nigeria Airways, Satellite Program, National Health Insurance…………………etc. This project is just to benefit a few individuals. Who owns the Hi- tech company? Where is the proof that they can handle such a contract. Nigeria ( Glitches) will certainly happen to this project. I am not a prophet of doom.
You can’t spend all that money building bridges when a lot of the citizens live in slums. Take Makoko for example, why can’t the government build affordable homes for the people and create jobs for them? All these agberos loitering could be employed to clean the streets, pick litter and empty bins, patch up potholes etc.
Please ask federal government to go under with tornnal to save landmark investment it can be done everything is not all about demolition let us use wisdom for once the tornnal will not be more than 2 or 3kilomitres and everyone will be happy.

All this road project is just a politics to borrow time to spend in the office.
Tinubu is suffocating Nigerians with high cost of living and all he dreams of is 700km of road anf railway.
Please support your Tinubu in peace. Not everybody is that gullible.
@@Southernview3k okay, this is a free world, you're entitle to your opinion, I won't insult you. Chao
The Government, the minister of the Government of Lago, and the owner of the beach resort should come together
We may have several opinions about this, but the reason we criticize the Government is lack of infrastructural development & co, I believe the landmark project may be just one out of many projects that could be affected, the funds that would go down in this project wouldn’t be a joke for me to think someone wants to hurt or hunt another because he is from a certain tribe. Think about the development that the coastal road would bring to the country. Let him be fully compensated.
This Super highway Project can be re routed and avoid demolishing the resort which is worth Billions of Naira. Umahi is an Engineer for Gods sake, call for a reroute design? When the resort was approved for execution, didnt they refer to the Master plan of Lagos before giving him approval? And is the government willing to make 100% refund for the damages before demolition of any affected part of the resort? You cannot be pulling down a Nation you are trying to build. Use your sense of ingenuity Mr Minister.
This project will be completed in 50 years. Can put money on it
They will only take some portion of the road
I wish they could be more strategic. Maybe reduce the lane on that spot to 3
THIS IS WHAT'S WE WANT IN NIGERIA GOOD QUALITY ROAD
Mugu
Thank you Mr President - BOLA AHMED TINUBU 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Why destroy a beautiful beach front and replace it with noisy trucks and car polluted Highway traffic. The Cost of building this Fancy Luxury Coastline Highway is Huge. Nigeria is not known for highway maintenance. Nigeria current Road System are in deplorabe Conditions. Nigeria urgently need a Commercial and passenger railway system.
Please Mr Minister think of ways to avoid or reduce demolitions that would affect the livelihood of people because of this laudable project. If the span is reduced in such locations, I believe, the reduction & avoidance I am referring to, would be achieved. Thanks for kick-starting the project.
Hmmmm
Complicated mindsets,,,
Nigeria,, nawaoo,,,
Is it that we're too big in number to be united or what,,, yoruba dey fire igbo,, Hausa dey fire yoruba,, Igbo dey fire government chai,,,
Where do we go from here....
Religion dey one side dey bewitch Nigeria,, while tribalism dey make us loose focus then government dey take the opportunity to loot Nigeria....
Unity seems to be faraway from Nigeria with this mindset,,, I wonder... Always reading extensive meaning into everything tribally...
I pray that God will someday help us by giving Nigerians the grace to breakout of the confusing mindset that the west and colonial interest has encrypted in Nigerians...
Nigeria will be great someday...
God bless Nigeria....
Demolition happens everywhere in the world but when its done in Nigeria its taken to be hatred to someone or unappreciate,
Some Nigerians and your thier minds is so unbelievable .
Bringing enthicity and tribalism
How much compensation are they giving to the people they're demolishing their Lives work?
My brother I tire
Go to kaduna and see what demolition has caused
The state is owing a huge debt plus, Soo called compensation from the government don't acct for 40% of what those citizens initially owned.
You are wrong. Why should you destroy the biggest and best beach resort in Lagos and West Africa because of a road project when it can be bypassed underground or overhead? White men will not do that. You don't destroy your best things that you should be proud of. They should bypass it.
@@terminateurextra-ordinaire3925 are you an engineer , do you know if there is a reason that can't be an alternative.
Let me tell you , the same the project is going to impact negative to some persons same way it's gonna impact positively to other persons.
What is the point of building road along a water coast? The water body is enough to support transportation of goods and people in a better way. The road should be directed to the main land.
I don't think it is an economically feasible project. May be the reason is something I don't understand.
Dave umahi said 8 years
I assure it'd take 4 years
Been waiting for him to kickoff a major project which is something he's known for
These business owners should have been consulted a long time ago about what the government was planning to do, not just give them seven days to quit. This is typical of a government that has no plan. Everything is done on the go.😢
I am sure they did. Naija people no dey hear word and they won't tell you the whole story. The Seven days is after all previous warnings had expired.

@@muhammedmuniru9840 secondly if you were any where as intelligent as you subject you won't be typing this foolishly by trying insult without making a sensible statement
I don’t think it will be wise to condemn our entire coastal line because of a highway(s), the road and rail can be moved inward like 2km along the coastline
The landmark beach to relocate to anambra.. there's a virgin beach in anam
river bank, you mean?
Am very sure this road wont be completed by 2030
I would have preferred that the humongous amount of money for that job be invested in the mining industry, where half the materials for the construction of that highway abound but remained untapped. Why should one expend N4 billion for a kilometer stretch of road no matter its soil condition?
We have a surfeit of Bitumen and Granite, some of the basic construction materials, in the Nigerian states of Ondo, Edo, Ogun and Lagos, as well as Granite in Ogun, Enugu, Kogi, Ebonyi, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Plateau begging to be exploited.
Why is Nigeria, the 6th country in the world with the largest reserve of Bitumen still importing Bitumen, to the tune of 268,000t last year alone, from far-flung countries such as Germany, Italy and India, when our 45.7 billion barrels of it lies untapped?! Could it be because importing such materials (in dollars) makes it an easier source of corrupting the system and making personal gain from public funds? Again, the abandoned petroleum refineries in Nigeria are capable of extracting Bitumen from hydrocarbon by-products. Why are they still lying dead with no plan to bring them back to life?
ON GRANITE, another prominent road construction material: Why is Nigeria still importing this resource from far away countries such as China, South Africa, South Korea, India, Turkey and Italy, when we have a surfeit of it in the Nigerian states of Enugu, Ogun, Ebonyi, Kogi, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Plateau?
It has become obvious that the importation of these materials is the main reason we are spending so huge an amount of N4 billion - no matter the exchange rate of the Naira to the dollar- to build a ONE MILE stretch of road in Nigeria. It is prodigal and unacceptable. It is the same manner of profligacy that exists in our Steel, Glass, Petrochemical and Aluminium industries which together form part of the foundations of an industriased nation.
Nigeria has the basic raw materials to be positioned as an industrialised country if those resources are judiciously tapped, but "for where"? The lust for the filthy dollar through the award of huge dollar contracts "nor allow Nigerian leaders to think properly..."
The next general elections must address this issue and no amount of religeous or ethnic-based preferencies must be allowed in taking such decisions.
ONE MORE THING ON THE LAGOS-CALABAR COASTAL ROAD:
Permit me to digress from the subject to a bit of politics.
Remember, during last year's general election campaigns, Tinubu had publicly advised Lagosians and Yorubas that electing Peter Obi as president could only mean that Lagos will lose the advantage of continuing as the only state hosting the seaports to which about 90 percent of imported goods to Nigeria's 230 million-strong population berth, with the state benefitting in scores of ways from every imported item. That is the secret of Lagos' source of wealth - taking from what belongs to all.
He had warned his people that voting Peter Obi for president will take away that advantage, as he, Peter Obi, will share some of those imported cargos to the seaports of Port Harcourt, Warri and Calabar, to the loss of Lagos ports.
What Tinubu came up with to attempt to preempt that possibility? Announce the "Construction of a highway named Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road" to dissuade those clamouring for the refurbishment and opening of those seaports in the hinterland by providing a new road to keep the Igbos who make up the bulk of importers from asking for the opening of the ports at Calabar, Port Harcourt and Warri, which are closer to them than Lagos. Did you get the hint?
While people such as Pa Edwin Clarke and ex-militant kingpin, Asari Dokubo and others in their likeness, wallow in praise-worship of Tinubu for commencing on the project that has too low a probability to inspire belief, given costs etc., time goes on and Lagos continues to collect those revenues from the ports, increased number of estate developers, tenants and the huge work force etc. that have both impacted positively the economy of Lagos State above those of other states.
Let me risk a guess. That project will not be completed during Tinubu's term(s) in office. It's idea is to continue to deflect criticism from the South-South and Southeast re the absence of a functional seaport in their region, and to provide breathing space for Lagos State to carry on as the only destination for incoming imports to Nigeria for as long as it takes.
That road is a fraudulent project that will not be completed
So they cut Edo out of the project and Obaseki is not saying anything.
Stop our gas and oil if they think we don't deserve any federal project
Edo is not on the coast. It’s only the states by the Atlantic coast that are a part. Check your map pls
@@Diyeni-jj3qx like I said .. the old design included Edo and secondly it's a strench road ok? It connects... how do you have Ondo . And Delta and Edo that is in the middle of them is not connected?
Check your map.
The man is trying to plesse Tinubu as Amaechi did to Buhati.m building train track to Niger republic.. now Dave is focus on Lagos and contract given to Tinubu boy as usual.
I don’t know about the old design so I can’t talk on that sir/madam. But the news channels have only mentioned the coast. I believe a connection will be done to Edo and even south eastern states if everything goes well. Let’s watch and see
@@Diyeni-jj3qx go on TH-cam type Lagos calaba railway project you will see it... this new designed same railway bit Edo state is cut off. . Tinubu beefing Edo bcs of Obaseki.. is the FG not taking our oil and gas?
How could they do this ?
Edo people in diaspora bring in goods from Lagos alot .. needed this rail alot... this is nonsense bro
I know what you are talking about now. Are they not different projects. I don’t think the coastal project affects the other but I’m not in government so what do I know
They are targeting igbo businesses
Even the Onirus - the original owners of the land - lost billions worth of property. Not everything is tribal, try and get conversant with things first.
Nothing good will ever come from APC govt, they know how to distract people with great projects, but wait for it, you soon begin to hear that Mr. Lagbaja didn't do this or that, very soon you will know that Seyi Tinubu is the recipient of the goodies and stylishly the project will end up in controversy

The original plan of the road wasn’t supposed to affect landmark. They changed the plan.

Its sad some Nigerians are easily impressed even to their own detriment.
Landmark resort is way too important for tourism
Literally every foreigner visit that resort
So because of landmark, people in Calabar should suffer to transport themselves to Lagos? Do you know how difficult it is over here?
don't share this excitement. These businesses in the Landmark area.. Heart breaking, if you're a business person. 700km of road will not be finished in four years. Why don't we leave these businesses alone for now and go start the construction elsewhere?
The last part of this video is blackmail. I hope people will learn that one day one administration will wake up and reclaim government property. Demand for compensation if you have legal documents and stop all this blackmail.
The cost is outrageous! That project will not be completed in 4 -8 years because of corruption! There are a 1001 ways it can be built without touching landmark but for tribal sentiments and malice!!! Nigeria dey play.
They managed to exclude Edo state the heart beat of Nigeria.
And Hitech belong to Thiefnubu and his crew.

That whole coast is the bight of Benin and you excluded Edo from such an infrastructure.
Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!

Lol is edo a coastal state? Delta is a coastal state and it will pass through Delta. If you can move Benin down to the coast tho, maybe your wish will be considered. imagine saying Oyo/Ibadan is excluded from a coastal road! Or you want them to leave Delta and reroute the road through Benine just so it can pass through it?
@@oluwatayoalabi This Nigeria ensured that what was left of Benin Kingdom must be destroyed or stagnated. The story you are failing at is probably older than you. So get your books and read about this space on the face of the earth. I can't do that for you.

@@bamialabi Your silver brush is pure.
The seven day is just too small at least three months will be ideal that construction firm will use that period for other logistic.
If APC had not hounded GEJ out of office this project would have been completed by now. This was birthed under GEJ.
As una wan take break people houses now na em una dey find
The coastal road was conceived under General Gowon. Even Lagos State Government had to abandon a big hospital project along that route because of the road. If Landmark has any government approval, let him produce it.
The Federal Government did not stick to the original route which is the water corporation road which is still undeveloped because every one avoided it because of the road. Now this new route cuts through landmark only and returns to the original route
So the road can not pass through another place. Shaii, i laugh that Igbo man. Those that have eyes let them see, and those that have ears, let them hear.
They should share it among seven construction giants
As long as the higway is maintained. Nigeria has a history of poor road maintenance.
The CALABA and LAGOS super high way should please start from both ends CALABA and LAGOS. Understand me please . Start now from the CALABA END now PLEASE IMMEDIATELY and the super high way construction ceremony meets at Sentral end point and commissioned. Thanks for the good work.
Since the project is huge one , the should compensate the landmark and continue the project , is done allover the world even in Dubia during thier metro project sky scripers was brought down and compensation paid ,
This is a great project, there will always be losses and gain for a project like this. It will affect some existing businesses and at the same time, new ones will be created as a result of the project in all the states it will go through.
More than any thing, millions of commuters along that route will be positively affected. Over all the gain supercedes the loss.
Hitech is owned by tinubu. Tinubu awarded a 15 trillion naira project to himself and Nigerians are quiet. By the time they are done with this country it's only God that will help us
I love this project, i supported Peter Obi, but because of this project, i will vote for APC next election. But will slso need 24 hour's electricity..
So if APC starts it, you think Obi will not carry-on with it?
Dey play😅 you supported Peter Obi but you want to vote Tinubu in 2027. Continue. Your body go tell you.
Why is no one talking about the businesses that will be destroyed and sending the employees back to the street to look for jobs? Although the project is good, people will also be out of jobs.
That's good if the government can do it
Any Igbo man investing in Lagos at your own risk. This people are jealous of you and will do anything to destroy your businesses
Let'face it, you call it Landmark Beach Resort. What does that tell you. It means that that it is by the beach or in fact over looking the water body. If a ❓ need be asked, can't government wear a human face for once and realign the path of the earmarked road. I want to believe that it is possible. So government(FG and Lagos SG) should better do something, leave Landmark and it's outfit alone. Please for the sake of the economy of both Federal and State governments, IGR, business, entrepreneurship, especially tourism, chart an alternative course for the Lagos-Calabar highway.
They should start from elegushi. Lagos island is already congested.
My problem with this project is that I see it as a conduit to misappropriate funds. Why was it awarded to Tunubu's company (Hytek). I'm sure the project did not go through competitive bidding, but awarded to Hytek to enable Tinubu recover the huge money he spent during and after the elections.
Make all these landmark Dey to Ibadan Abi
Demolition of a Multi billion Naira business ROI is totally wrong. The road can go above the Landmark as a bridge with a reasonable high above sea level or they adopt an underground highway tunnel of 1.5km. Either way it's an additional beauty of its class in that area which will further add to the beauty of that location, state and county at large. Let's get this started people. Make we preach this idea until it sinks into their thinking cap. We will benefit from this in a long term. I can't wait to hit that road on a long adventure journey.
Why not start it from calabar
And why not start it from Lagos? Why does it matter where it's started from any way?
@@mrjohn7930😂😂😂 I tire my brother. As if the road doesn't go both ways
@lemiphil2388 you know some people are hell-bent to find fault in just about anything. Even if you are walking in water, they will say you are raising dust.
Nice project idea...I hope they will not abandon the poject half way!...very typical of nigerian project. However demolition of Landmark is totally unwise.
I am sure they will save landmark at the end,Tinubu is not a wicked person
Invest in Lagos at your own peril.
Why this fire brigade approach at all time whenever government is planning big projects in Nigeria they should have given people time to arrange themselves for the project instead of the unnecessary pressure they are subjected to and what a right violation on the innocent victims !
It's this reall
World is reclaiming valuable coastal lands and estate, Naija NO! Reroute to inland or bypass.
government should reroute the road project, landmark beach must not be touched
I sniff currupt selfish interest here. Dear African ministers it not illegal to put your citizens first rather than your own selfish business interests.
the need of many suppas the need of few... let that sink
Landmark is the only beach affected by this new route. The fact is that Landmark beach need not be destroyed at all as the Water Corporation road which landmark is asking the FG govt to return to is undeveloped and is more cost effective for the government to use. it is totally unfair and unjust to want to take the livelihood of 12k people and add them to the over 10m employed youth when there is an alternative route. it's simply baffling. Mind you after destroying the Landmark beach and taking away 12k jobs the road goes back to the Water Corporation Road to protect many other ocean front properties further down the road. SAVELANDMARK BEACH
This project on the Lagos end is a no-brainer especially considering the collateral damage and the fact that this coastal highway will only be few miles from the high capacity lekki-epe expressway.
In my opinion, the funds from this project will be better spent fixing, modernizing and securing our current highways and railways nationwide.
We do not need such a project now.
Is it only ibo man properties that were been abolished for the coastal road, let us stop tribalising issues ? Some people are just awakening tribal sentiments for no reason
The project is ongoing .. It has started ..A billion ibos can not stop it
The project will start and end in Lagos. Ajaokuta , Nigeria Airways, Satellite Program, National Health Insurance…………………etc.
This project is just to benefit a few individuals. Who owns the Hi- tech company? Where is the proof that they can handle such a contract.
Nigeria ( Glitches) will certainly happen to this project.
I am not a prophet of doom.
You can’t spend all that money building bridges when a lot of the citizens live in slums. Take Makoko for example, why can’t the government build affordable homes for the people and create jobs for them? All these agberos loitering could be employed to clean the streets, pick litter and empty bins, patch up potholes etc.
