This road can’t possibly be the priority. Surely it is far more pertinent to invest all the resources in powering up that country. Put electricity in all homes and industries, and watch how things begin to flourish.
Illiterate, during times of economic depression, one of the steps to recover is to embark on massive infrastructure projects like the coastal highway that has the potential to revive businesses, generate transportation, tourism, create new businesses and opportunities, new towns, new industrial zones, etc
@@user-fp5hq5kj2b Thank you for the insult! But it’s ironic that you commented on the very day that the realignment of the road was abandoned due to the uncovering of marine cables, highlighting the laxity with which they pushed this idea forward.
I take your point about the economic benefits of undertaking bold infrastructural projects in tough times. Nonetheless, people forget that Economics is neither gambling nor prognostication, it is a pure science, because every decision is tested in time. We have countless examples of such misplaced priorities in Nigeria. Yet, even the least sophisticated among us will see that there are many more advantages in powering the country than linking up a coastal road.
My sister you are an erudite journalist and fearless. We need more of your type and Rufia in in Nigeria
Of course. Rufia is the more reason I watch Arise TV daily .
Thank God we have the lady who is as fearless as him .
A lot of ancestral compounds were pulldown in Ogun State during Amosun era, today people are rejoicing.
The interesting thing about the project is that it does not concern those who are making MOST noise about it. Overwhelmingly all the citizens in those 8 coastal states are happy with the project
Thank God Rufai Now Has A Female Version, With Sharp Mouth
Stellar reporting!
Excellent correspondent
Honestly I love this Arise TV Journalists, they are fearless, bold, courageous, intellectual and intelligents. Infact they are complete. Kudos to this female journalist Laila Johnson, she is a professional heroine. Thanks .
Praise singer, well done o.
Does it mean we won't have beaches anymore in Nigeria or what?
Someone should please explain. Thanks
When people have it against rufai in some situation tough questions need to be asked . If Nigeria projects to world that it is democracy then so be it
Stakeholders meeting are supposed to be held accross the whole lenght of the road (from Lagos to Calabar) involving diverse parties that will be directly and remotely affected.
These consultations are supposed to be completed before any contractor is selected and any contract is signed. The findings from the consultation sessions will influence the choice of contractor and will form part of the details in the contracts.
The arrogance of this government is mind-blowing. Very insensitive, insulting people all over the place. Lying through their nose at every opportunity.
I cannot wait for 2027.
Such consultation s takes many months. In most cases, it takes years.
Laila,you did your job as a journalist. On the other hand, the minister acted like a bully. Some of the ministers forget that they are servants of the people and should always show humility on their jobs.
Thanks for calling him out on that ❤
I love you Laila. You are good
hmm, Is there any other place the government as prepared for the village?. the compensation can't restore the lost of the people. The government should be more considerate
We cannot erode history while evolving into the fuutre. We need a coastal highway but it's important that the route and impact is properly thought out and planned. Nigerian government has not shown good faith historically in many projects and seem to be rushing this one too. They make it hard to trust them given their history even if they are telling the truth...and sadly i dont think they're telling the truth.
I just want the govt to ensure they compensate these folks. Unfortunately the government owns the land no matter how sentimental we want to be... Again i hope these people are duly compensated and given another place to settle.
This woman na man 👍👍
Huh??
Government should find their own way on the old aliment that mention before,cus the village have been exist in centuries
Is a coastal road priority for a country that is in dire need of investment in education and healthcare, let major in majors not minors
Laila is an outstanding journalist.
True. I see nothing wrong with her speech- tone, pitch, facial expression, meaning etc.
Our people just get carried away when they wield power, sad. Elsewhere on this planet, the minister
would show patience, courtesy, calmness and empathy even if he were inwardly irritated by her searing questioning.
Now I know why the sentimental engagement with the Minister and this lady...her question to the community leader is instigating instead of being fair for both the federal government and the community....
She failed to understand that land use act gives the government power over the land...
Laila is my 2024 CHAMPION.....She really cooked the impudent, calcitrant Dave Umahi...she gave him a well deserved,
Obong of Calabar commends FG over Lagos-Calabar highway
It is a “strategic infrastructure that will boost commerce, tourism, transportation, and emergence of new towns and settlements along the coastal corridor”

Abeg I need her cantact anyone willing to help plz 😮
In a normal Country you do stakeholders meetings, impact assessments even before you put out a contract bid which should be competitive and then you go to FEC for approval and NASS for appropriation of funds. Why is this road such an immediate priority? Why all the rush? Why a Coastal road before the East. West Road that would connect all the major cities between Lagos and Calabar? Why borrow so much money at this time the FGN is bankrupt? Hmmm this whole thing smells like a scam and in a few years we will uncover the truth all because we lack investigative journalism in Nigeria.
cry more baby
Why can't you be happy for progress? Consider that this is the sacrifice the community had to pay for the place to be developed. But if this is just to make the government give compensation then go straight to the point>
FG is law unto themselves. THEY WILL INVENT THOSE PRELIMINARY REPORT and we must accept it. The presidency is personally interested in this project and what Nigerians expects is prudence and accountability of our resources. The cost of the project is huge and if i recall what happened to the likes of the moribund Ajaokuta Steel Company that has become a jamboree of waste, the people feel this project does not align with the immediate solution to the biting economic circumstances we have found ourselves: insecurity, deplorable road networks, unstable power, increased electricity bill, rising cost of living etc.
Government can not remain insensitive to the welfare of its people
How do you develop economy when there is no infrastructures?
I don't know why the noise about this good project for the betterment of Nigeria.These people are too hypocritical.Arise TV behave as if they are the mouthpiece of other media houses in Nigeria.No matter the noise and politics from Arise TV, the project has come to stay.
Why do they always like standing behind someone that's been interviewed? What kind of a people are these? The moment they saw their friend and kinsman was been interviewed, they rushed to stand behind him so that they can be seen by the camera.
Are you new to this planet..?? You just moved to earth..??
Why do people join on stage when someone has been announced the winner of an award category??
You obviously did not listen to what was said. A whole community is on the verge of being wiped out and you are bothered about the members standing behind th3 reporter?
Lmao is this a serious comment
Myopic statement the lady spoke excellently and I assure you that if you are part of the community being pulled down you won't be here saying all these rubbish you are vomiting
Learn to punctuate your sentences.
Where does it begin, and where does it end? 🤦🏾♂️
@@everydayhen go use am collect monies for bank fool Mr English
Smh.....Are we these gullible in Nigeria? How can the Federal Government hold stakeholder meeting after the project has been awarded and job started! Is this democracy? The idea of building a coastal road is good, but it is not a priority. How can road be more important than electricity. Lives depend on electricity....the economy depends on electricity. Increasing power supply is more of a legacy project than road.
Why wasn't this project, as huge as it is, a focal point of Tinubu's campaign? About security, he talked about recruiting more people into the military and embarking on farming to feed the recruits, yet the idea of building a coastal road with all the economic benefits never came up! Our politicians always settle for paths of least resistance. They have really understood the people who do not understand themselves. We are not serious.....#wearenotready!!!
Interesting how you people sit behind your keyboards and say the road is not a priority...if they don't work, you will complain...how will Apapa be decongested if they don't spread out ports
@giftedchild9490 I would admonish you to make your comment without appearing unintelligent. Also, read between the lines and make an informed argument of your "own" position. Do not assume all virtual commentators are dimwits. Having an opposing view is healthy for our democracy. It shows that people are becoming conscious of governance.
If I understand your argument of "how will Apapa be decongested if they don't spread out ports."
I will start by informing you that the coastal highway is not the same as the development of sea/dry ports. The highway is designed to connect 9 states, commencing from Victoria Island as the point zero and not Apapa. Although it tends to pass through the Lekki Deep Seaport, I had in a latter submission, spoken about the need for Apapa Seaport to be considered, unfortunately the design starts from VI.
I clearly stated that the idea was good but not a priority. Coastal highways do not resonate with the needs of Nigerians like electricity. Since it has commenced, the striking issues are as follows:
1. Considering the importance and economic benefits of the highway, why didn't it form part of Tinubu's campaign promises? The idea was completely muted. Atiku's voters' perception dropped when he made a remark during the 2019 presidential debate that he was going to sell the refineries to his friends. Even the APC used it against him.
2. Why was the contract award process shrouded in secrecy and not transparent?
3. Why was it awarded to Gilbert Chagoury (owner of Hitech), a fraud genius and friend to President Tinubu. Chagoury has been indicted/convicted for fraudulent acts in some countries, including in Nigeria and the U.S.
In addition, erratic power supply has forced multinationals to wind down operation in Nigeria and even relocated their plants to other African countries. These companies cited huge costs of running generators, among other reasons for leaving the country. Look at SMEs...for this sector to flourish, it needs power. How do we consume made in Nigeria products if Nigerian manufacturers find it difficult to operate their plants.
Another argument is that our politicians choose paths of least resistance to tick their scorecards. Nigeria has an abundance of gas that is enough to power the continent, yet no meaningful (capital-intensive) investment is made in the sector. This same highway being built with over 15T Naira will require the budgets of almost 3 or more ministries to maintain every 5-10 years after completion, even though they claimed it will be tolled... These are the arguments!!!
From high performing state governor to playing chihuahua for a failing regime with questionable legitimacy.
How are the mighty fallen!
Misplaced priority from one govt to another. I often who advised them. How much revenue to do intend to generate from this after spending over #1trn on this project? Why not divert this to relevant projects. Well, the nation is a joke, that's why a Minister could joke about a serious matter.
This road will never be completed and the government will use this villages as an escuse
Umahi may have ruined his political career with the outrageously costly Lagos -Calabar road that Tinubu will abandon once the South-West end of the road is completed. It is amazing how Umahi has allowed himself to be used by Tinubu to damage his once promising career with this bizarre costly ostrich project - when most federal roads are in shambles
This is Nigeria, EIA can not,l repeat can not stop the construction of anything in Nigeria or else even the ministry of environment would be demolished without compensation.😂😅But this road is very important,as long as it gets to calabar not just lagos l keep saying.Hope Laila is alright?She looks and sound overwhelmed or under the weather somehow.Sending you love and light laila,stay strong!❤Thanks.
Well, it is people like you are the problems of Nigeria. EIA is the most important project before any project is commenced. How a project affects people is very important and in a civilized clime, EIA is paid very much attention. LAILA Salami grew up in London, so she knows the importance of law and adherence to law.
The rush to do this road is because of the quantum of bribery and thievery that will come from it. Coastal road is important but not at the expense of the impacts it will have on people. The original design saw this problem but Emilokan, who rigged himself to be president does not care and Umahi, who once flogged a journalist when he was a governor is too arrogant to obey the law. As an Engineer, he knows the importance of Environmental Impact Assessment.
@@user-jh6cx4jk8i You are contradicting yourself.
How come the accent changed here, while it was different when asking the minister question?
It shows that they are fake
Laila did not change her accent, that is the way she speaks, born and bread in London. Do you want her to speak the agbado accent?
@@niyiadetoun4081.... so sorry for una...na so her accent be...the minister just embarrassed himself...
You need to get an appointment with a ear doctor 😊
thank u my brother for noticing the accent but u kn evil tv station n propaganda have fail..
So people from the village can understand Laila, but the idiot who has turned himself into a tin god said he cannot understand Laila, umahi is losing his mind because he has been made minister. Shame on him, he will not be a minister for ever. Being a minister should not make an old man go mad and just talk anyhow
Umahi is a praise singer and a blantant liar. Never trust him. He praised Buhari with all his breath, but now Buhari is evil the same Umahi, speaking with both sides of his mouth .
Useless set govt
who is the govt to give the EIA not the same govt.u ask foolish questions n ur bad,evil plans fail in arrival
Hmmm. Na waoooo for you ohh
Sentiments...Laila a journalist is not qualified to give govt on how the project should be executed...stop aggravating already fragile and gullible citizens
Arise or asleep tv no matter what they call you, your pwner nduka obaigbena who is a relative to atiku's running mate and former cbn governor emefiee is still butter atiku lost the election. He can be bitter till the day he kicks the bucket, this project has dtarted and it must finsh and more projects to come. Una never see anything.
Too much bragging. Yet still poor. You don chop?
Seems most of Arisetv staff or journalists are sadist
Yes, they are saddist, especially their shortest man Rufai
Arise Journalists, the best in broadcasting media. They are well informed and speak truth to power. Rufai Oseni stands out.
Haha stop listening to them. Your problem with them solved 🙏🏻
Because the Arise journalists do not toll the line of ThiefTinunbu, they are now sadist to you. You think Leila na your average brown envelope journalist like the type you have in TVC news and Channels TV? Leila fears no one and she is a professional to the core, Leila always ready to ask tough questions with facts. Dave Umahi trying hard to dodge Leila EIA report questions, Dave Umahi thinks he is clever half by dodging Leila's EIA questions, Dave knows too well he is going against the law by not carrying EIA and abide by it before sending bulldozer to demolish people's livelihoods, Dave knows and thinks by dodging the questions from Leila he is smart. Nemesis will catch up with him in due time.
@ikennaiwuchukwu6949 if you think they are not brown envelope journalist , oga, go and pay your tithe so God can open your eyes...
It appears that Arise News has benefits to gain by its partisan reporting in support of those whose buildings/structures have to be demolished to give way for the Road construction. If this lady who is trying so hard to speak with the English accent would learn about the English and their law, she would know that even in England when it comes to the use of private properties for the use of public benefit - the benefit of the larger society - the private individuals including communities must accept the consequential outcome as patriots. It's obvious to me she's a mole, one of those planted to inhibited the growth of Nigeria. May be it's time to investigate the true financial sponsors of Arise News and its staff excluding Dr Abati, for his objectivity and contrary view to the other Arise News reporting as foreign stooges, when reporting or analysing important national matters.
You want your county to be like America 🇺🇸 but yet you don’t want to feel the pain , you can’t eat your cake 🍰 and have it at the same w, no pain no gain , for development to come , so many buildings will go down . God bless tinubu . For pitobi you will soon join Nnamdi Kanu in dss custody
Arise doesn't stand for anything good. Ever seeking the downfall of Nigeria...
Open your own TV station
Like i said, arise TV is always looking for a way of critising this government. Are there no other people there that go in line with the government decisions? Seriously, when will this station know that the time for the campaign is gone? Obi is what you are always working for, and Nigerian will not be daft to choose him as their president.
Think before you talk
I only heard someone speaking through the nose…..I couldn’t make any sense out of what she is saying. Next time let her talk straight without fake accent. This is Nigeria
Are you really ok??
Ode!
Go back to school
She has no accent, she just lacks self dignity and confidence. Which accent is she using ,very inferior personality.
@@emekaokeke5893 not surprised. Obi supporters have no concrete argument than insults….
