@@chinenyeozowara2196 That's scary because as it is there is Sand filling in the Lagos Lagoon, Wet lands in Lekki axis and the Atlantic Ocean. When the heavy floods starts the excess water needs to go somewhere. Any update on our Dam to be constructed at the Benue River so we don't experience that flooding in 2022 when the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon releases their excess water probably this year.
To be honest I think this is the fallout of the 2023 election and the way Obi won in Lagos. They've decided to "teach" Igbos a lesson. Remember the Oba who said if Igbos must vote for APC or they won't do business in Lagos? Why is Landmark the only establishment that's affected and why did they move the road practically into the ocean only to curve back after 1 and a half km? This is unacceptable and unfortunate!
"The old East-West road has not been completed yet, so why the rush to construct this new road? It is easy to destroy but difficult to build. The federal government has not been helpful, and every development we see in Nigeria has resulted from citizens' self-help. If you want to build a house, you have to build your own road to your house and drill a borehole for water since there is no public water infrastructure. So why are they so quick to destroy what they didn't build? It shows the government's impunity and callousness towards its citizens. In other countries, the government provides mortgage facilities to help citizens get fully built apartments for themselves and their families, but in Nigeria, it is different. Ironically, the company constructing this road does not have the expertise to execute this type of construction without impacting people's livelihoods and the environment. Something seems fishy about this contract. The senators and House of Representatives are silent about it, which is surprising since they are supposed to protect our interests."
This is crazy. A few government officials doing this on our behalf. Follow the original map. Why change it and destroy a lot of private investment and jobs. Government should see their role as business enablers and not people out to destroy private investments. Potential foreign investors will not like this at all.
You are being naive because you don't know the importance of this coastal road project. After some years the project succeed, igbo will still come that they build Lagos. Allow the owner of their land to do what they want and not you Outsider to dictate to them. Go to your village and build your Landmark
I really wish there is a solution to this that can be business friendly to landmark. But the thing I learned while trying to purchase a land for an uncle of mine is that many developers build on lands that are government acquisition or right of way, thinking “oh the government is not gonna come here”. Until the day the government actually comes.
@@zezetravels you cannot “purchase” land in Nigeria without a government-issued C of O, and you cannot build anything without government-issued approvals (of which the LASG reportedly issued to Landmark on FOUR different occasions). So, let’s quit making silly excuses for the government - they were either (at best) massively incompetent or (at worst) massively corrupt! PS: Furthermore, the principles of ADVERSE POSSESSION is still valid under Nigerian law. Government cannot simply wake up one morning after years of ADVERSE possession of land and proclaim the land to be its own without any adjudication. But in Nigeria, we’ve come to confuse the government with the sovereign itself and has normalized state ILLEGALITY!
Instead of this government to focus on revamping existing roads and other infrastructure!!! Why not use that money for maintaining inner roads, federal, state and local roads that are death traps??? Nigeria, government with no brain. Imagine the job losses, time , money wasted. OMG!!! Maintain existing infrastructures. So tired of these old, brain dead leaders jare. The more reasons Diasporans are scared of investing in that country. Some funny person will wake up on the wrong side of the bed tomorrow and come up with some rubbish they'll fail to maintain. Everyone will come with their agenda, dump after 4 years , another regime comes, dump existing projects and initiate theirs. SMH!
They don't own the land!!! You guys will not learn!!! They have no C of O.. and beaches are owned by the government, not private people. The land Landmark seats on is part of Eko Atlantic.
Which dirty sympathy, he has been making profit and charging businesses for land they didn't pay for. Go and look at Elegushi and the structures going up. Landmark will be forgotten soon.
What do they mean by, " Jobs won't be lost?" If the businesses are affected and they are not making as much money, jobs will be lost!!! This same thing happened to Sheraton Hotel Ikeja!!! After the hotel was built, the government then thought of the Opebi link, which took the natural ambiance of the hotel background away!!! Why can't our government plan things ahead of time!!! Not just an afterthought!!! Plan your cities ahead of time and stop anyone from disrupting that plan, in REAL TIME.
Tell that to your south east governors. Let them do the same project for you in your village and stop dictating to Lagos and federal government on what to do with their land.
You are saying NONSENSE @amumejitaiwo4813. What does doing projects that affect others people business without careful planning has to to do with dictating to the government and going to the east. You speak without sense! And it's quite unfortunate, you are part of Nigeria's problem
Sooner you realise that there’s no government…you will feel better. No security, no electricity and fuel is not affordable. Thieves are building road…😅
@@OlabanjiE like your father, who doesn't give you enough education to understand that Landmarks and others didn't buy the land and beach meant for the project. They stole it. None of their properties was touched or demolished. The government wants to develop a project that will be beneficial to all, and you are here reasoning like a termit or grasshopper. You are a bastard among us
The route passing through landmark is not up to 3km. This is where ideas comes in. . The road can go above the landmark area or an underground road tunnel. This idea can in turn make the landmark area more beautiful with this idea and thus makes it a destination to be.
Shalom Beloved MP MSE AND TEAM .NOTE THAT NIGERIA WANTS TO AVOID THE BIAFRA STATES ACCESS. THANKS GOD BLESS US ALL IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH NAME IN THANKSGIVING AMEN AND AMEN.
This mentality that the beach and access to it should belong in private hands drives me mad. Beach access and the beach itself is a natural public treasure that knowledgeable countries use to attract tourists. Go to any coastal city in Spain and you will have a promenade open to the public to walk, jog or bike from one end of the country to the other. This attracts millions of travellers to the country and they make billions. Not only that, beach access is good for the health of the population. I encourage Lagos state and other coastal states to tap into this easy infrastructural development opportunity and convert all beach side to public promenades. This will stimulate intra country tourism to such states as well as attract foreign travellers. Businesses will see more profit on the back of this as well. So I support the coastal road but make such there is a promenade beside the road linking the beach for public access. Private businesses should not be allowed to charge for beach access
How clean are the public beaches? What activities are there? How safe is it ? Landmark didn't just wake up and use the space. They got permits and the Government is well aware because they receive tax on everything Landmark
The only person that has said the only sensible thing regarding this costal road. But I sympathise with land mark owner because they invested heavily to bring that place to what it is today. However Land mark was only able to buy public space because Nigerian government is shitty government. Had land mark not developed that area; that area would have have remained swampy till date.
@@phillipsolabisi2029 How clean are public beaches? They are only dirty because of a lack of resource recognition. When Nigerians start looking inward we will tidy ourselves up. Its a simple thing to maintain what we have, its just a matter of our value system. The coastal road could be a sign we are starting to change our thinking.
@@longinusukenta Hello, I am making a rational point in support of public access infrastructure utilising the coastline of Nigeria. I am saying that the coastline we are blessed with can attract huge revenue for the country. Transformation of our coastline can stimulate the creation of hundreds of thousands of new jobs for very little outlay. It can revamp the travel and leisure industry. Lets not see conspiracy theories all the time.
All I see is witch haunt. Nigeria government is yet to maintain the existing road to south but quick to start constructing á coastal road that will cost Trillions of Naira.
land mark built the resort despite knowing eko Atlantic has rights to fill the shoreline in his area.The whole project may be sketchy(it is.) but land marks CEO is trying to 419 the government into paying for land that probably isn't worth what he says it's worth.
Saying someone is trying to be 419 is out of bound. You were not there when the business started and. You obviously have no idea what it costs to build anything.
There is an original planned path you say. Then why abandoning that earmarked road, I mean change it in a direction that not only affects but take out a complete enterprise a big one at that. We are talking about Landmark and other businesses. Is this not worse than discouraging, but killing local enterprise? There is no hope for entrepreneurship, local economy, tourism in the country. Government better change their mind.
Wow no wonder the call it highway to corruption, But you ll gat to ask a fair question. Since its going to take 30 years to built how about starting from Calabar where it does not run towards any kind of demolition like the proposed Badagry to Sokoto which the admit will start from Sokoto . The truth is the bridge wont go any farther than Yorubas states even at that you got to ask why all the coastal road madness when citizens lived in total black out .
This is so stupid. How much enployment is sustainably generated thanks to Landmark and how much due to a plain highway? Landmark was such a gem of a project. It added beauty and a seriously needed enhanced relaxation aspect to Lagos. Something is fishy here. Can' t this highway just be re-routed given tbat a road alreeady exists? Why build a road by dumping sand into the sea and destroying the livelihood of people? Even the cost aspect is tremendously high. The approach is not solution-driven at all. Come on, Nigeria. ...PLEASE. I know that you can do so much better than this.
Why destroy businesses on the ROW of the highway with which greatly impact the livelihood of millions of Nigeria. Why don't they use tunneling for that section of the road and preserve these businesses and jobs. Why must we use archaic method of construction when there are modern and cheaper methods of construction.
Forming conclusions based on assumptions can be risky. It's noteworthy how personal interests are taking precedence over public welfare in the discourse propagated by certain underqualified analysts. Their perspectives, clouded by tribalism and self-interest, are narrow and fail to consider the broader economic advantages of initiatives like the coastal road. Prioritizing individual agendas over the larger macroeconomic benefits undermines the potential gains for society as a whole.
Please list the benefits and also why the rush for this project. Why waste $15b to on this road. Why landmark when there is alternative route. This is wickedness to target and igbo business in lagos
@@ShedrackLawrence-shed if this is true,I think it's time for the igbos to start taking their businesses to the east as this will speed up the development or the region ✌🏽
@@ShedrackLawrence-shed The Nigerian coastal road project presents a myriad of economic benefits. Firstly, it enhances transportation infrastructure, facilitating smoother movement of goods and people along the coast. This can lead to increased trade activities, stimulating economic growth and development in the region. Additionally, improved connectivity can attract investments in coastal areas, spurring job creation and entrepreneurship. Moreover, the road infrastructure can bolster tourism by providing easier access to coastal attractions, thereby generating revenue and employment opportunities in the hospitality sector. Overall, the Nigerian coastal road project holds significant potential to catalyse economic progress and prosperity along the coast. We should strive to conduct thorough research to understand the impact of the project on businesses and residences without attributing it to any specific ethnicity. Certain areas, once under exclusive federal jurisdiction, were reclaimed for the project, but this does not involve demolishing landmarks. Let's refrain from spreading false information and engaging in online displays of ethnic prejudice.
Please educate yourself before spreading hate. There is a longstanding Supreme Court ruling that all coastal shoreline from Badagry to Akwa Ibom belongs to the Federal Government. Some of you don't care about the truth as long as it doesn't feed into you victimhood narative.
@@MrJhomeDesigns mumu.. umahi was appointed to supervise federal government works and plans, not to originate them. In this case the appointed umahi has no say or he will be replaced. The Eko Atlantic City needs the ocean land in front of landmark, that is why the coastal road was used to remove landmark there. The coastal road project is already an abandoned project, the goal is just to reclaim the ocean land along landmark to Eko Atlantic.
At the end of THESE Huge financial Coster Project..🛣 We all gonna love it and be more pleasure and please with it.. & We ain't distracted by no body's business emotions
The best Nigerian beach, called BAR BEACH, was destroyed to build Eko Atlantic City and nobody die!! Why is landmark so special that it can't go for the general benefit of whole Nigerians? No foreigner comes into Nigeria because of Landmark beach, it's just one of the attractions to be seen when people come into Nigeria.
Another point that is not considered is that the plan for that road had been designed during Tinubu governorship tenure and not just now ! Why all this Faiz !!!
Shoreline belongs to the federal government. And especially for national security reasons, shoreline can’t be in the hands of an entity or any individual. But good luck to Landmark.
No land “belongs” to the federal government… Abegi go and read your Constitution (incorporating the Land Use Act) instead of relying on the functionally-illiterate pronouncements of the Minster. The Constitution and the Act VESTS (emphasis added) land on the government to hold in trust for the PEOPLE. Accordingly, government does NOT own any land. Rather, it’s job is to administer land use on behalf of the PEOPLE!
Bros you don try... just give Tinubu a ripe stake in Landmark and on to the next. We know what it is. na naija where money talks and bullshit walks and Jagaban is the biggest thief of them all.
Government owns the shoreline. Case close, even the Ibori royal family lost more than this one. Sympathy but this project will be great for Nigeria. Compensation should be paid to all the legit people with legit documents, Umahi and his team will get it done.
Oga boys has to eat by all means, this is not about development its obvious its another white elephant project waiting to be abadan soon. This is why is so easy to loose money and life in nigeria.
Tribalism is a very bad thing in Nigeria. Because you want to destroy the business of somebody that you feel is not from your tribe. The original plan was there, but to show your wickedness, you diverted it.
Immediately i see the news...i browsed for the owner of Landmark beach ...and the answer i got made me to understand why the lagos govt is doing this. Igbos should go back to their state.

I have lived in Europe for over 20 years now. Have travelled many countries in Europe. I've never seen something similar. Thanks to social media, we are able to see all this. This present government plan is to destroy Nigeria. The time Nigerians realised this, especially my Igbo brothers, to stop investing in Lagos.The better for them.
This is the height of wickedness. Sanwolu and his master Tinubu are evil people. The problem is that they do not know God. The Bible teaches that "If you see the violent perverting of justice in a province, one should not be moved because there is (God) who is higher than them." At the end of the day, this man Paul and his investors and tenants will have their day. Nobody can profit from wickedness, and the wicked shall fall into their own pit.
I don't know about Tinubu but calling Governor Sanwo olu evil is a derogatory term. The irrevocable decisions to revamped the route is outside his discretion.
All these propaganda don't cut it, if China wants to embark on any developmental project , they don't even talk snorts like these, but here in Nigeria we are overly sentimental.
You are saying NONSENSE sir. Because somebody does what is wrong by force doesn't make it right. If somebody kidnap your children and say its because you give birth too many children, would you accept?

Landmark has NO Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) this is a fact and the beach (land) belongs to the government. Mr Umuahi went as far to make adjustments and has said none of landmark buildings will be touched, except the shanties on the right of way and he has kept to his promise (though he isn’t obliged legally to do so). Oniru beach was greatly affected but we haven’t heard one word from the Oniru’s . Why are the Igbo’s making EVERYTHING a tribal war? For goodness sake why?

Landmark should have properly informed their people.They acquired part of the land that wasn’t allocated to them and they know that.All issues has been straightened out with Federal Government of Nigeria on this matter.Let us all be properly informed….
talk about the change of the original road design plan....so something like this wont happen to you in future...God is not sleeping remember
Just ur name says it all. Why the change of original plan?
Watching this and I’m brought to tears. Why is the Federal Government being callous?

So a road that'll serve millions of people should be suspended because of a man's business ?
@@emmanueladebayo6327 you wicked fool, has the federal government finished others roads they started for years now. I'm sure you are no where in life, thats why you don't have a problem with this obvious wickedness by the FG.
@@emmanueladebayo6327we really lack empathy.
are you sure you would be saying this if you/your relative is the owner of landmark?
Why am I having a feeling with this documentary that arise tv is making case for landmark investors rather than being objective in the presentation ?
If you invest in a shoreline, it's a risk to your business. If nature doesn't take over. Government will do one day.
Hope this Sand filling won't have ecological problems for Victoria Island, Lekki, Ikoyi and Lagos Island.
lol their minds never go there…same people looking for investors are making the ones they have business collapse
@@chinenyeozowara2196 That's scary because as it is there is Sand filling in the Lagos Lagoon, Wet lands in Lekki axis and the Atlantic Ocean. When the heavy floods starts the excess water needs to go somewhere.
Any update on our Dam to be constructed at the Benue River so we don't experience that flooding in 2022 when the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon releases their excess water probably this year.
To be honest I think this is the fallout of the 2023 election and the way Obi won in Lagos. They've decided to "teach" Igbos a lesson. Remember the Oba who said if Igbos must vote for APC or they won't do business in Lagos? Why is Landmark the only establishment that's affected and why did they move the road practically into the ocean only to curve back after 1 and a half km? This is unacceptable and unfortunate!
"The old East-West road has not been completed yet, so why the rush to construct this new road? It is easy to destroy but difficult to build. The federal government has not been helpful, and every development we see in Nigeria has resulted from citizens' self-help. If you want to build a house, you have to build your own road to your house and drill a borehole for water since there is no public water infrastructure. So why are they so quick to destroy what they didn't build? It shows the government's impunity and callousness towards its citizens.
In other countries, the government provides mortgage facilities to help citizens get fully built apartments for themselves and their families, but in Nigeria, it is different. Ironically, the company constructing this road does not have the expertise to execute this type of construction without impacting people's livelihoods and the environment. Something seems fishy about this contract. The senators and House of Representatives are silent about it, which is surprising since they are supposed to protect our interests."
This is crazy. A few government officials doing this on our behalf. Follow the original map. Why change it and destroy a lot of private investment and jobs. Government should see their role as business enablers and not people out to destroy private investments. Potential foreign investors will not like this at all.
You are being naive because you don't know the importance of this coastal road project. After some years the project succeed, igbo will still come that they build Lagos. Allow the owner of their land to do what they want and not you Outsider to dictate to them. Go to your village and build your Landmark

How do you “compensate” a beach resort for the loss of the beach?!
I really wish there is a solution to this that can be business friendly to landmark. But the thing I learned while trying to purchase a land for an uncle of mine is that many developers build on lands that are government acquisition or right of way, thinking “oh the government is not gonna come here”. Until the day the government actually comes.
@@zezetravels you cannot “purchase” land in Nigeria without a government-issued C of O, and you cannot build anything without government-issued approvals (of which the LASG reportedly issued to Landmark on FOUR different occasions). So, let’s quit making silly excuses for the government - they were either (at best) massively incompetent or (at worst) massively corrupt!
PS: Furthermore, the principles of ADVERSE POSSESSION is still valid under Nigerian law. Government cannot simply wake up one morning after years of ADVERSE possession of land and proclaim the land to be its own without any adjudication. But in Nigeria, we’ve come to confuse the government with the sovereign itself and has normalized state ILLEGALITY!
Instead of this government to focus on revamping existing roads and other infrastructure!!! Why not use that money for maintaining inner roads, federal, state and local roads that are death traps??? Nigeria, government with no brain. Imagine the job losses, time , money wasted. OMG!!! Maintain existing infrastructures. So tired of these old, brain dead leaders jare. The more reasons Diasporans are scared of investing in that country. Some funny person will wake up on the wrong side of the bed tomorrow and come up with some rubbish they'll fail to maintain. Everyone will come with their agenda, dump after 4 years , another regime comes, dump existing projects and initiate theirs. SMH!
I don't even know what to say..
Please maintain the old plan, roads can be built in the interland
We don't know the implication of this sand filling as it stands
Landmark should develop state of the Art Swimming pools for the remaining available to them. My empathy and support to them.
They don't own the land!!! You guys will not learn!!!
They have no C of O.. and beaches are owned by the government, not private people.
The land Landmark seats on is part of Eko Atlantic.
Which dirty sympathy, he has been making profit and charging businesses for land they didn't pay for. Go and look at Elegushi and the structures going up. Landmark will be forgotten soon.
Ei 😂
@@TheBronzeSage So Landmark takes rent from vendors on that beach? Seriously??
What do they mean by, " Jobs won't be lost?"
If the businesses are affected and they are not making as much money, jobs will be lost!!!
This same thing happened to Sheraton Hotel Ikeja!!! After the hotel was built, the government then thought of the Opebi link, which took the natural ambiance of the hotel background away!!!
Why can't our government plan things ahead of time!!!
Not just an afterthought!!!
Plan your cities ahead of time and stop anyone from disrupting that plan, in REAL TIME.
Tell that to your south east governors. Let them do the same project for you in your village and stop dictating to Lagos and federal government on what to do with their land.
You are saying NONSENSE @amumejitaiwo4813.
What does doing projects that affect others people business without careful planning has to to do with dictating to the government and going to the east.
You speak without sense!
And it's quite unfortunate, you are part of Nigeria's problem
Sooner you realise that there’s no government…you will feel better.
No security, no electricity and fuel is not affordable. Thieves are building road…😅
@@OlabanjiE like your father, who doesn't give you enough education to understand that Landmarks and others didn't buy the land and beach meant for the project. They stole it. None of their properties was touched or demolished. The government wants to develop a project that will be beneficial to all, and you are here reasoning like a termit or grasshopper. You are a bastard among us
They should move to other areas. The beach is just sand. Your cients are human beings that visit the place not the sand.
This is callous moves by the FG. The original plans should have been adherd to. This is one of the reasons Africa's growth is slow. Sad indeed.
Hope investors learn their lesson especially if you are not from Yoruba leave Lagos
Clap for yourself
Your comment is as EMPTY as you are, suegbe.
hmmmmmm...I am speechless.... I love this beach.... But why?...
The route passing through landmark is not up to 3km. This is where ideas comes in.
. The road can go above the landmark area or an underground road tunnel.
This idea can in turn make the landmark area more beautiful with this idea and thus makes it a destination to be.
That idea would be ideal for a "listening and selfless govt" unfortunately, not this one🤷🏽♀️
Shalom Beloved MP MSE AND TEAM .NOTE THAT NIGERIA WANTS TO AVOID THE BIAFRA STATES ACCESS.

GOD BLESS US ALL IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH NAME IN THANKSGIVING AMEN AND AMEN.
This mentality that the beach and access to it should belong in private hands drives me mad. Beach access and the beach itself is a natural public treasure that knowledgeable countries use to attract tourists. Go to any coastal city in Spain and you will have a promenade open to the public to walk, jog or bike from one end of the country to the other. This attracts millions of travellers to the country and they make billions. Not only that, beach access is good for the health of the population. I encourage Lagos state and other coastal states to tap into this easy infrastructural development opportunity and convert all beach side to public promenades. This will stimulate intra country tourism to such states as well as attract foreign travellers. Businesses will see more profit on the back of this as well. So I support the coastal road but make such there is a promenade beside the road linking the beach for public access. Private businesses should not be allowed to charge for beach access
How clean are the public beaches? What activities are there? How safe is it ? Landmark didn't just wake up and use the space. They got permits and the Government is well aware because they receive tax on everything Landmark
Thousands of hotel resorts all over the world are built in front of beaches. Stop making excuses for what is going on.
The only person that has said the only sensible thing regarding this costal road. But I sympathise with land mark owner because they invested heavily to bring that place to what it is today. However Land mark was only able to buy public space because Nigerian government is shitty government. Had land mark not developed that area; that area would have have remained swampy till date.
@@phillipsolabisi2029 How clean are public beaches? They are only dirty because of a lack of resource recognition. When Nigerians start looking inward we will tidy ourselves up. Its a simple thing to maintain what we have, its just a matter of our value system. The coastal road could be a sign we are starting to change our thinking.
@@longinusukenta Hello, I am making a rational point in support of public access infrastructure utilising the coastline of Nigeria. I am saying that the coastline we are blessed with can attract huge revenue for the country. Transformation of our coastline can stimulate the creation of hundreds of thousands of new jobs for very little outlay. It can revamp the travel and leisure industry. Lets not see conspiracy theories all the time.
Badagry - Seme road is still not in any conversation
All I see is witch haunt. Nigeria government is yet to maintain the existing road to south but quick to start constructing á coastal road that will cost Trillions of Naira.
land mark built the resort despite knowing eko Atlantic has rights to fill the shoreline in his area.The whole project may be sketchy(it is.) but land marks CEO is trying to 419 the government into paying for land that probably isn't worth what he says it's worth.
Yoruba Fool
Saying someone is trying to be 419 is out of bound. You were not there when the business started and. You obviously have no idea what it costs to build anything.

Na bad belle dey worry you
There is an original planned path you say. Then why abandoning that earmarked road, I mean change it in a direction that not only affects but take out a complete enterprise a big one at that. We are talking about Landmark and other businesses. Is this not worse than discouraging, but killing local enterprise? There is no hope for entrepreneurship, local economy, tourism in the country. Government better change their mind.
All i have to say is that, those who are affected should be compensated accordingly.
How do you “adequately compensate” a beach resort for the loss of the beach?! 🤔
Can't they see the normal route would lead to more destruction? Plus government owns the coastline 250m back, so why the noise
Who did they piss off? 😮
Exactly, JALOUS people trying to distroy them
I pray the project not eroded by nature afterwards😮
It’s not the costal road. Eko Atlantic need to expand with the costal road behind it. Landmark is just a small point, costal villages are next.
Wow no wonder the call it highway to corruption, But you ll gat to ask a fair question. Since its going to take 30 years to built how about starting from Calabar where it does not run towards any kind of demolition like the proposed Badagry to Sokoto which the admit will start from Sokoto . The truth is the bridge wont go any farther than Yorubas states even at that you got to ask why all the coastal road madness when citizens lived in total black out .
I could cry I love 💕 this beach 🏝️ y’all government is so backwards 🤦🏾♀️
Its a big shame
This is so stupid. How much enployment is sustainably generated thanks to Landmark and how much due to a plain highway? Landmark was such a gem of a project. It added beauty and a seriously needed enhanced relaxation aspect to Lagos. Something is fishy here. Can' t this highway just be re-routed given tbat a road alreeady exists? Why build a road by dumping sand into the sea and destroying the livelihood of people? Even the cost aspect is tremendously high. The approach is not solution-driven at all. Come on, Nigeria. ...PLEASE. I know that you can do so much better than this.
Why destroy businesses on the ROW of the highway with which greatly impact the livelihood of millions of Nigeria. Why don't they use tunneling for that section of the road and preserve these businesses and jobs. Why must we use archaic method of construction when there are modern and cheaper methods of construction.
Forming conclusions based on assumptions can be risky. It's noteworthy how personal interests are taking precedence over public welfare in the discourse propagated by certain underqualified analysts. Their perspectives, clouded by tribalism and self-interest, are narrow and fail to consider the broader economic advantages of initiatives like the coastal road. Prioritizing individual agendas over the larger macroeconomic benefits undermines the potential gains for society as a whole.
Please list the benefits and also why the rush for this project. Why waste $15b to on this road. Why landmark when there is alternative route. This is wickedness to target and igbo business in lagos
@@ShedrackLawrence-shed if this is true,I think it's time for the igbos to start taking their businesses to the east as this will speed up the development or the region ✌🏽
@@ShedrackLawrence-shed The Nigerian coastal road project presents a myriad of economic benefits. Firstly, it enhances transportation infrastructure, facilitating smoother movement of goods and people along the coast. This can lead to increased trade activities, stimulating economic growth and development in the region. Additionally, improved connectivity can attract investments in coastal areas, spurring job creation and entrepreneurship. Moreover, the road infrastructure can bolster tourism by providing easier access to coastal attractions, thereby generating revenue and employment opportunities in the hospitality sector. Overall, the Nigerian coastal road project holds significant potential to catalyse economic progress and prosperity along the coast. We should strive to conduct thorough research to understand the impact of the project on businesses and residences without attributing it to any specific ethnicity. Certain areas, once under exclusive federal jurisdiction, were reclaimed for the project, but this does not involve demolishing landmarks. Let's refrain from spreading false information and engaging in online displays of ethnic prejudice.

No land “belongs” to the federal government…
Abegi go and read your Constitution (incorporating the Land Use Act) instead of relying on the functionally-illiterate pronouncements of the Minster. The Constitution and the Act VESTS (emphasis added) land on the government to hold in trust for the PEOPLE. Accordingly, government does NOT own any land. Rather, it’s job is to administer land use on behalf of the PEOPLE!

This is the height of wickedness. Sanwolu and his master Tinubu are evil people. The problem is that they do not know God. The Bible teaches that "If you see the violent perverting of justice in a province, one should not be moved because there is (God) who is higher than them." At the end of the day, this man Paul and his investors and tenants will have their day. Nobody can profit from wickedness, and the wicked shall fall into their own pit.
I don't know about Tinubu but calling Governor Sanwo olu evil is a derogatory term. The irrevocable decisions to revamped the route is outside his discretion.
