    Welldone,you are the first youtubers or media to bring us up close and personal with this project.Shouldn't Nigerian media houses be here,at the site of such project,probably the biggest in the history of Nigeria?Those journalists are the biggest problem in Nigeria,lazy and corrupt to the bone.The train section only starts from jakande not ahmadu bello way.From Ahmadu bello to jakande is 50meters right of way,then it becomes 100 from jakande to include the train tracks.And l dont think that is a gas pipeline, are usually bigger thsn that or in multiple pipes if smaller.l think that pipe is for dredging sand from the depth of the sea to where they want to sand fill...l really hope federal government complete this project to calabar,not just a project for lagos state,it will really transform Nigeria's economy.Welldone mate and thank you.

    The road is a complete good idea and no question about that. But my take is this. End of Ondo state running from Rivers state to Calabar are primarily Creeks, mangroves and swamps, it will be near impossible to build a normal roads without running bridges like 3rd mainland bridges for infinite kilometers. This is exactly were the road will stop because the construction there will be mind boggling and 700 times more expensive. I wonder why they did not start this road first from Calabar and proceed to Lagos end as to test this project.

    Tinubu is replicating the approach of northern Nigerians by utilising our resources to develop Lagos. Nevertheless, this project appears doomed from the start and is unlikely to progress beyond Ogun state. Instead of pursuing this venture, funds should be directed towards the neglected east-west road. If Tinubu truly had the South's best interests at heart, this would have been a more appropriate allocation of resources.

    If some of you had travelled out of Lagos in the last w year, you will agree with me that the coastal road can be constructed without neglecting other roads in the country. The original coastal road was a baby of NDDC, and the moribond Eko Atlantic coaster road which the Lagos state government could not construct due to high cost is not been fast-tracked as a federal project.
    It is not a hidden secret that the Eko Atlantic is a baby of BAT and some of his questionable wealth are stocking in that project. He is trying to recover by all means necessary and Nigerians will have to pay for it.
    That project is not designed to be completed because HighTec does not have $15b to run that project. This is another scam. We will only see the Lagos section completed in the next 8yrs and nothing more.
