Aren’t Biafran tired of issues involving Nigeria? Noise makers

I think there is more to this landmark demolition than the government is telling Nigerians.Other countries without beach are looking for ways to create artificial beaches yet Nigeria is destroying a beach.A coastal highway that would need a beach to enhance the road,that would need a beach to justify the existence of such road is being destroyed.Even the distance of the alignment before it goes back to the original alignment is so short it does not justify destroying a beach for..Further down the coast, the road is away from the shoreline, avoided even smaller bungalows yet they are bent on destroying landmark beach?🤔There is more to the destruction of these places than federal government is telling us.Also Arise news,please dont only bring us infrastructural news when the minister is visiting,it would make more sense and impact if you report on the state of the country's infrastructure independently, with or without government visitation.Nigerian infrastructures would improve drastically the moment the media start showing interest,not only sending a reporter when the minister is going to be at the site.Thank you.

Yet the government does not think it's necessary to fix the existing roads before thinking of a new one. If the coastal road is necessary, why not start with the bridge from Oron to Calabar and commission it for the people to start using and allow people at the beech in lagos more time to relocate.

I told him that I do no more interested just because of that. 7 years after, late Governor Akala of Oyo-State started the Akala dual carriage highway, and the land fell on the offset to the road. Landmark owner lived in abroad. If it has been developed country, would he flout the laid down rule. Though, I pity the probable loss of his investors money. But does the Landmark man doesn't carrying-out enquiry and feasibility study before embarking on such project, or he believed that once he buy over the corrupt land ministry officials, there will never be problem after?

Lol creating new roads when they haven't fixed the existing ones 😆😆 this country is just 1 big comedy sitcom .

Tinubu will never do anything that will not favor him. He careless about others. Very soon all those properties will be acquired by him. The man wants the whole country to be his own property

My question is what happens if Tinubu later abandons this road project because of the resources to complete the project?

The beach should be free for all

Why do government allow to sell the land before at the first place

Do you mean no compensation for people who have properties there? How much has Tinubu and his gang of looters sacrificed before now?

Once again, Tinubu showing us all what an unmitigated disaster his presidency has been. Is this not the same Lebanese company that hasn't had a major project in their resume? Tribalism out of the picture, did this company actually do their homework? Just because it's a coastal highway does not mean it literally has to be on the coast. What I'm seeing so far at the Landmark site from all indications means that far more material (dredging) and effort will have to be utilized just to combat the effects of encroaching water and rising sea levels. What will this coastline look like in 10, 15, 20 years from completion? If the current road network is any indication, then this road is in serious trouble. What a waste. How can you speak of the commercial boost this road will provide when you haven't fully optimized other forms of transportation provided by our waterways and rail? At N15t, when will this road pay itself? Just like fuel subsidy removal, Tinubu rushing headlong into hasty decisions without due diligence. I'm especially concerned with the speed at which they're breaking ground. Why the rush?

In a sane country the government protect their beach for tourism, but in Nigeria reserves is the case, what a shame.the Italians have a coastal highway is about 450 to 500kms but no beach or tourism village was destroyed

What’s obvious is that landmark doesn’t have a strong legal claim. If they did, the conversation would have sorted out in court. Landmark was well aware of this risk, took it and now they crying foul. Don’t understand this la smart fellow.

How

This country is useless. You can build around it or over it. This property does not have to be demolished. Why do you Nigeria always seek to destroy in name of development. Coastal roads usually go around establishments like this. Look up Highway 1 in California. That's a coastal highway.

One question, why start from Lagos? This white elephant is a payoff to some friends forever, this project will not be completed in 20yrs. I bate the next three years the Lagos state portion will be completed and the rest will take 20yrs. The miracle worker will serve for one term, "you will learn "😂😂😂😂

Landmark was not the most affected, even though he was making the MOST NOISE. The most affected business is Bolaji Ariyo of Miami Chula Beach Lifestyle. Then there were three other beach property owners making 5 altogether. Mediocre Arise TV did not think it was important to tell the story of the other 4 beach investor.

Destruction of economic life as a sacrifices for what exactly?

The problem of this country is the thier not taking, government should come out tell Nigerians what you going to gain for build this road. Not to destroy people property.

Any of you condeming this road now and later in future speak good or see the importance of this road to the nigerian economy, thunder must fire you at that point in time. Make we just dey watch.

After how many decades federal government couldn't finish East west road in niger Delta. Now embarking on another unrealizable project. Madness, madness and madness.

Building in Lagos is waste of time. I can never do it

Let's not be too political Development must cost us some sacrifices and we just have to start from somewhere Persistent political attacks on this project involve playing down the overriding long-term benefits that will position the country on sustainable development path. Irrespective of these criticisms, the coastal road, when completed, shall still be numbered among Tinubu's deliveries of good governance. The era of project abandonment should be a thing of the past. Tinubu has started well, despite the current tough times that will hopefully not last forever.

The money we invest in building this road is it really necessary? Why don't we use this money invest in creating industries and making Nigeria to have electricity like Ghana or beni Republic than demolishing people's property

Sentiments won't change the story. Demolitions for new infrastructures development is an issue all over the world. Economic implication is part of the sacrifice. The beneficial outcome in terms of transit and business transaction will restore any potential losses due to the road building. It is a national pride and benefit to the people of Nigeria. Linking Eastern region to the western business hubs of Lagos will become a landmark success in the longer run.

Hi @themark7948 Although I am a nobody I have an opinion about this. Here are my thoughts about this. I live in the USA and for the last two years, my family have visited Nigeria with me. They have been to Landmark about 4 times in those two visits. The amount of human traffic there and businesses is much more than we have at our coastline beach here in Galveston, Texas. The coastal highway is good but the change of design that directly impacts these businesses with international funding Is very bad. Multiple jobs, at minimum 1,000 jobs will be lost. Probably one of the best tourist attractions in Nigeria will be destroyed. Due to the history of similar projects in Nigeria there is great fear that this project may start and never be completed. It is tough to market the demolition of this facility and others around it as a good thing for Nigeria at this time.

Sacrifices indeed

This is exactly what normal Nigerians face daily as the Government stops their projects middle of the way and these projects are tagged as abandoned property all over Nigeria. Landmark has Foreign investors hence why this is a News.

Many costal roads in Western world have been washed away because of Climate change. Nigeria cannot maitain Coastal road

As long as I'm not in support of the demolition, but you cant tell the owner of a property what to do with his properties, Federal Goverment owned all the coastal roads in Nigeria and any construction around the coastal way must leave 250 meters set back, Which landmark did not honor.

They just abandon the project today......check the news

This is why you should NEVER invest in Nigeria especially in Lagos with Bigot Leaders. no amount of money that can compensate this.
