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

@@AdekunleEnoch-n1g 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.

@@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

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?
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.
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.
@@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.
if you spend a little time to research, u will kmow the project ideas started over 30 years ago. you will find that shagari started one that was supposed to run from sokoto to lagos... it was to end in Agbara estate to join the badagry road..it was a two lane road poorly constructed by today's standards
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.
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
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.
President Olusegun Obasanjo never conceptualise the idea. President Bola Tinubu is credited with starting the idea for the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway while he was governor of Lagos state( which was during Obasanjo tenure as President). unfortunately,Obasanjo who was three times in power and who should have built the highway in the 70s when Togo and Benin Republic built their never saw the need for it or have the idea. It was never on record that he conceptualised it. In fact, Okotie Eboh should have been the one to take the glory of conceptualising,not Obasanjo. Okotie Eboh,in the first Republic, romanticised with the idea but was resisted in 1955.
They are still building road that they will not complete, when their citizens are dieing of hunger they are constructing Road,what a shame to this useless leaders.
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
The problem with some people here in the comment section is like people without education. Most people Express bias analysis maybe bcos the road did not pass through their corridor. One thing I like about this project is the rail by the side which will bring serious fall in the demand of air and road transportation. Infact a lot of people will prefer going by rail because of cost and safety attached to it. Also, transportation of goods will drastically fall. Real estate developer Will take advantage of this opportunity bcos building a house close to ocean or River is always attractive. Infact to get land in all this corridor will be expensive bcos of the fast development that will take place. Remember that the private company contribution to this road in the area of money is about 70%.
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?

waste of scarce resources, federal highways/ roads are bad, why not repair them?, focus on projects that would generate wealth , employment and improve the degrading economy. its a waste of nigerias resources.
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.
