- The Lagos-Calabar coastal highway promises to revolutionize Nigeria's transportation system. In this video, we will explore the project details, specifications, benefits, and controversies associated with the project. Nigeria's coastline, stretching from Lagos in the west to Calabar in the east, throbs with economic activity and scenic beauty. For centuries, it has served as a vital trade route, connecting communities and fostering cultural exchange.

This coastal road will open many pple eyes and know we also have beach in Ogun, Ondo, Bayelsa, Rivers and CrossRivers.
And you think it’s the road that prevents people visiting your beaches in Ogun, Ondo, Bayelsa, Rivers and Cross River?! SMH 🤦♀️
@@therealist2866😂thats how Nigerians think
Facts
Keep deceiving yourselves
Everyone worried about landmark, we're other businesses not affected? Plus the government owns the coastline, he used is land already and still used 250m of government's land whilst government just wanted to collect back 50m, plus our coastline shouldn't be commercialised, Is there any country in this world that commercialises it coastline not even Benin, I want to be able to drive to calabar, chill on the coastline when tired and get back to drive, beaches are meant to be accessible and free, there's nothing wrong about the project, plus we are not even funding it, reduces traffic congestion in the normal route, faster, plus most major highways in the country are under repairs or construction, why are we all mad, this road will build tourism, business along there will boom, even supply of good and services will become less because of less longer route
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.
@@samuelbrownsonmfon9204 again the road started from Kuramo beach, it isn't the only beach affected, plus they're not destroy any permanent landmark building, Landmark is using government land, so rest
@@user-cz9ph3ks5b if you can sleep at night with the fact that over 2k people would loose their jobs. So of us can't. You say no structure is destroyed I ask what good is a beach without water. Kindly name the beach that are affected because of the coastal highway??
@@user-cz9ph3ks5b I realize you dint understand how investment works. what about the businesses on the beach and their staff. Incase, you are so uninformed let me juggle your memory. There is something called land permit , land use charge and several steps before you establish such a business in Lagos. The Government would not keep quite while such structure is built without making sure due diligence is followed.
@@Smartcat-zo5cm again it's government land and thy want to use their land, whatever makes you sleep at night, the destruction parts were already done at jakande already, nothing has been destroyed on the coast, they are only sand filling the beach at landmark, plus why are you worried about one person's business at the expense of national development? Why no others? We heard nothing when kuramo beach was sandfilled, once again the coastline shouldn't be commercialised, it should be free, that's how a coastal country should be, go to Benin, SA, USA etc you will see them
Without sounding immodest, If not lack of fire sight, why this project now when most federal roads are so bad
Well done and well balanced ... Good Job
imagine investing 15 trilion massively into Energy (Alternatives, Petroleum and Gas), Agriculture, masive Health, Security and Aggressive Industrialization thereby boosting the fragile economy with massive production..stabilizing the economy and ensuring steady growth and development before embarking on this project that will place more pressure on the economy???? This is just typical consumption ..we need vigorously productive economy then we can run crazy with projects like this....our refineries needs to start working asap...we need to completely stop importing LNG, Fertilizers and Petrolwum products asap...pls oga president you guys should set our priorities right firstly haba!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly my point. there is time for everything and this is definitely not the best time for lagos calabar highway. create a moving and more stable economy before embarking on such projects. To me this is more like consumption than production.
Yeah and when you the genius build the Massive agriculture and industrialization you will transform to superman and move them in the air.
@@naijasoldieroflove No you don't have to have super man. You just need to fix the existing road and it would be sufficient at least for now. Then when you start reaping the benefits from the investment you use that money to do project like this. Also, there should be other alternatives why not railroad. Less footprints, safe for carrying large goods and services without endangering the lives of motorists. Also when it comes to moving Nigeria forward, although road is crucial, electricity should supercede road.
@@naijasoldieroflove are you telling us that there are no roads along the lagos calabar axis?
Nigeria ought to shift focus from chasing shiny objects to the untapped economic potential in its rural areas through large-scale agriculture. Building infrastructure to connect these rural areas with urban centers and utilizing idle lands for diverse food cultivation could lead to exports worldwide. Otherwise, the reliance on imported goods, bought with scarce dollars, will only continue to devalue the naira.
What are you even saying. This project will open up vast economic opportunities and activities that would affect a lot of rural communities along the coastal region positively.
@rotimikayode1072 what happen to other federal government highway road? Did they not open vast economic opportunities? Who is benefiting from them? Why must it be road? Why not rails which can move goods and services safety without endangering the lives of motorists. This project will cost $10 billion usd (15 trillions naira). Is this the most pressing issue in Nigeria today?
@@goldeneyejunior7425 You cannot see beyond the bridge of your nose. I actually don't understand you at all.
@@rotimikayode1072 lol....okay oooo make una enjoy your road If you think road is the number 1 issue in Nigeria today.
@@goldeneyejunior7425 u must be joking
I am watching from i-way.
Revolutionize
This project is a perfect idea for connecting states within the southern regions of Nigeria, but they should compensate everyone affected awesomely. Good compensation that's where everyone should be concerned. For me I want Nigeria to work for us all.
Keep deceiving yourselves
What happened to east west road?
And you honestly think that they will complete it even in the next 40 years
@terryzamani9478 are states in the southern region of nigeria nt already connected? what is the state of the road connecting these states?
Are you praying they shouldn't complete it? @@jonahigbokwe394
You know one thing about our leaders, problem they have is only when they take something that then don't suppose to give it to , someone who are not even deserve it so it just get them wrong and making the Nigeria to move forward sence many years ego,
This is a good job
My question here still remains what happens to Dangote refinery and lekki Sea Port because they are at coastal bed will govt go round it, flyover it or demolish the beach part?.
But you should know by now that those structures you mention never encroached on FG land and therefore are not and never were in danger. The road design and route is about 20 yrs old, if not more. Landmark’s case is different. They appropriated land that wasn’t even allocated to them and used it as part of their business assets. Even then, they have been spared demolition apart from the beach front which was never theirs.
The route map you have on your video is completely wrong as that is not a coastal route. The route of the current Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway does not go through Edo State.
Edo no join oh
Is this what will solve Nigeria's economic problem?misplaced priority...fix power!fix power!!fix power!!!
8 years to deliver, 😮
what about the Lagos Calabar railway project
Is the lagos -calabar highway thesame as the east-west road? please clarify. thanks
Yes, with few changes.
@@amgoodd Not at all. It is a completely new project. East- West Road is not a coastal road.
@@rotimikayode1072 I beg to differ. It’s the same.
@@amgoodd It's not the same.
@@rotimikayode1072 Thanx . It’s the same.
Y'all would be called to order when the road gets abandoned for 30 years. Is it Nigeria again?
Calabar is in the south not east
Calabar is in Eastern Nigeria.
Better called Corruption High way
Why 8 years with the latest technology now
Hopefully not the same kind of “game changer” that Buhari’s ‘change’ brought to Nigeria…😂😂
😅
This is lagos coastal highway, Calaba thier is only a deception because this wont go beyond lagos state. If 47 kilometer of road costs over a trillion naira without the rail lines, how much did you think that it will cost to do 700 kilometer?
Pure deception...the project will only terminate in lagos..every one is aware.
Cos Tinubu is using fed govt resources to develop lagos.
The road itself have zero impact at this time,who ll drive in 700km with 1000 naira fuel prize
It will be great not to have unnecessary check points and corrupt policemen along the road.
Hmm roadblock on a 5 way highlane... Nothing go Suprise me in Nigeria
Who said Jonathan did not touch east west road? Abeg lets be factual
Promises premises for loans and looting as usual to abandoning?
Has bola tinubu not been in government and presidency since 1999 to date? So, what is new and noises for?
Wrong road map
Tinubu conceived the idea man.... Give him flowers.
@IdrisYusuf-df6bz how will nigeria benefit from the idea?
Pollution
"Lagos - calabar eye way" 😂
You can cry all you like, English is not my first language. I am only using English to communicate with people who don't speak my mother tongue (YORUBA). I am a proud YORUBA man and I can speak my mother tongue fluently. At my age, I am not interested in perfecting or mastering English. I live in the UK and i have met people from all over the world. English people cannot speak my language as much as I speak their language. The intelligence in what i say is what matters not the pronunciation. 'eye way or highway, you know what i am referring to and many people who have see the video know what i am talking about. anyway, thank you for the comment and to anyone who heard 'eye way' i am referring to 'highway'
I hope this will be another white elepant project
You hope it will or you hope it WON’T? Which one?
Contract to hitech, where he has high interest. Dey play. Now reclaiming more land from the sea for eko Atlantic
They are not reclaiming more lands than it was planned. Dont forget, Eko Atlantic City is phased.
Who constructed Lekki Epe expressway? Who reconstructed Apapa Oworonshoki expressway with concrete reinforcement? Who is currently constructing phase 2 of Lekki Epe expressway from Eleko junction to Abraham Adesanya round about? HITECH ok
Na lies full this video sha
Lie to yourself
A project that Nigeria doesn't, why not fix the existing roads that connect Nigeria, complete the Lagos to Kano railway, why build new project when Nigeria cannot generate electricty
You are right about fixing existing roads. However, I don't think that should stop new projects. There must be government agencies responsible for road maintenance etc. But we all know how corruption and mismanagement is a big problem. I hope these Agencies can be held accountable so that all the budget allocated to road maintenance can be used appropriately.
My friend, development is not linear. You do not have to finish one thing or solve one problem before addressing another. Even the USA and China have huge internal problems they have not solved in various sectors but push ahead with others. That’s how it works.
‘So if you don’t know, now you know”. Peace.
Typical Nigerian mentality - always chasing shiny objects.
@@fabuchap2545just because USA and china is doing something stupid doesn't mean that it stops being stupid . No sensible government will pour this amount of money on road when they don't have suitable supply of electricity
@@vitalifoma9189exactly. This road will not generate 1/10th of the economic activity steady power supply will. Even if it's just 18 hours per day of steady power, the difference will be massive.
8 years for a road of 9 statesz and yet the first phase is only Lagos states 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dey play. Tinubu is just doing section of the project just for his personal interest
