I love this man so brilliant, resourceful, eloquent and thoughtful. He's so objective. I always love is comments on public issues.
Mr. Osita is one of the finest brains in Nigeria, very balanced in all he does, very knowledgeable any day, anytime and in everything.
Kudos man!
The first time I have watched a program on channels Tv multiple times. Kudos to the eloquent Chidoka
Osita Chidok is always a mobile seat of wisdom, giving sense to us his listeners. He knows the roads that will serve Nigerian economically. Grateful sir O.C.
Mr Chidioka. As far as Nigeria road is concerned, you know your onions . I respect you for great analysis. Kudos.
He is capable way beyond Nigerian roads, my brother.
One of the most eloquent and intelligent ex-minister....
By far…. And very knowledgeable if I may add.
@@ounmore2893I concur
Thumbs up for Osita Chidoka. This is the kind of people the president should have brought closer to him for advice on matters like this.
For the nonsense ge is saying. Mention a country that make a CAPITAL project a public conversation.
The intellectuals knows that what is saying is tribalistic undertone.
Na him grammar you dey reason abi.
Wetin be him achieve as frsc boss and aviation minister with all these plenty talk
@@donmarlone989 That selfish project must not stand, when Yoruba goes to Oduduwa republic they can use the money from their gold and agbero generating revenue system to build that road
They know, but all project they approve is to loot. That’s why they go for stupid projects
@@user-hj9qj4td7q
You wey your state lack good federal road, lack clean water and electricity is talking about coastal road.
Mr Chidoka is more intelligent than you and stop trolling on the comment section as if you're anywhere relevant.
As a one time trailer driver in Nigeria who has navigated the 36 states, I can tell you that Osita has the Nigerian road network at his finger tip.
It also doesn’t take away the fact that he is just eloquent and has not positively impacted this nation, Mind you, he studied in Singapore where Lee Kuan Yuu solved a lifetime national crisis, I keep wondering when we will implement the things we learn abroad.
Also, I can speak as a one time road user and freight forwarder at Apapa warf that indeed the coastal highway 🛣️ is almost useless.
That’s a waste of fund in a dying economy.
Legacy my foot!
He was Corps Marshall with the FRSC.. so he has to know the Nigerian road network.
@@obainomilano I agree, it’s still possible that in our celebration of mediocrity over meritocracy one can function in that office and be ignorant of our road networks.
Thank Mr. Osita for your wise analysis and objective views. I'm from Calabar, Cross River state, the project is needless it's of no use to us. The road from Calabar to Uyo, Akwa Ibom is not motorable though they've been trying to work it for years. The FG should fix Calabar Itu road period not the Lagos-Calabar Coastal road
You've said it all, God bless you.
i from cross river state.
Tinubu's only intention is to destroy the relevance of seaport cities like, Calabar, Portharcourt and Warri and promote only Lagos. Why is Tinubu working against the dredging of the Calabar seaport if he is intersted in developing South South?
@@el-rufaithebanditslover2313You are the only person that seems to decode the whole deception. Why will FG be interested in linking all the coastal states when all Tinubu with his men was supposed to do was ensure that all the seaports are operational. Why would someone from Delta or Rivers or Calabar come to Lagos to clear his goods when there are seaports in those states? Does it mean that only seaports in Lagos will be functional? And these people were clapping their hands for a project that was filled with deception. They will soon clamour for the road to link Badagry Seaport so that only Lagos seaports (Apapa, Badagry, and Lekki) will be the goto location for all vessels coming into Nigeria.
God bless you my brother
To secure the cyber, we dont need to tax Nigerians
- Mr. Osita Chidoka
Osita Chidoka, very sound, brilliant and articulated man, he's a delighted man to watched anyday
God bless u sir, Mr Chidi u ar a good Nigerian . The Ibo man. Is the most dynamic in Nigeria
Chidoka you are adimistrative material
The problem with Nigeria is that the rightful people are mising out from the right position.
This is the best counter argument I’ve heard regarding this highway project. I hope the federal government is listening.
Mr Chidoka blew me away with his knowledge of Nigeria. 👌 Excellent presentation by the able Minister and the moderator of Channels Television 📺.
His answer to the Atiku allegation is just so brilliant.
He truly knows his road and has been on it. Brilliant mind Mr Chidi
Brilliant man, would’ve loved to see you in Atiku’s cabinet
He was there Jonathan cabinet, what did he do?
He was minister of aviation during Jonathan presidency and our airport was well run, checked it out
@@driverkingdom2469Lol.. you guys dont say the truth to each others. If the coastal highway was direct to east I know what you guys was saying will be another thing. During the election what's the gain the president gain from the southeast? Nothing. So for the country to be good the country need infrastructure so shall it be.
ONLY an IGBO man have the lion heart , the willingness and the zeal to Fix Nigeria .
take it or leave.
Just the way dey fix east. Mumu talk. Which lion heart. Show me any activist that is popular from east.

If they should doubt you let them allow the Igbos at least for once. They've been in power for more than 60yrs yet nothing to show. Born to rule has turned to born to loot and destroy 😂😂😂😂
This man is Cerebral.
Nigeria needs more people like him
Chidoka is very articulate and sound. I wish the FG will listen and implement all his recommendations.
Wow! This man is really intelligent. How I wish the president and his handlers will look beyond sellfish intrest and listen to his suggestion.
The wrong people are truly in government in Nigeria.
Thank you Mr Chidoka
It's sweet to say, what was his efforts in changing d face of road safety... Mtcheew
@kamaldeenaolatunji7282 why are you deflecting?
@@godwinella from? To join u in praising?! I am sure if this man had danced to ur biases, would u b saying this? So, how u see things is the right way, others don't hv perspective?
@kamaldeenaolatunji7282
They are analyzing the Lagos Calabar Road and its demerits and wastages, but you want to carry the conversation to where we do not know.
How about addressing the numerous cogent points he raised rather than deflecting to a time that was over 20 years ago? We cannot go back to when he served in FRSC , which by the way, his tenure saw the digitization and ease of registering of many FRSC process so I don't even know what you are complaining about. But even then, can we go back in time to prevent him from serving at FRSC? If you can then go ahead.
But we can do something NOW IN THE PRESENT about the corruption and share wastage of resources that this white elephant project of Lagod Calabar Coastal Highway. Focus on the matter at hand and stop deflecting.
..Ignorance the say is bliss...please make google your friend.. and you will see what he Chidoka achieved at age 35 and beyond.
He hasn't attained the national stage in a vacuum!..Show him respect!!!
Mr Chidoka! ...
See intelligence abeg👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽
Just listen to his descriptions,
This man have the entire Federal road network in his brain 😮
Everybody is talking about brilliant man, and get distracted from the main issue,...thete is fruad here, let's expose it.
It's always brilliant listening to people that will always speak the truth to power. Chief Osita was Apt in his submission. Seun,l implore you to always bring in people that will not come to talk politics in your studio. The Lagos/Calabar coatal road may not be a bad idea but it's not what Nigeria need at this point. Period!!
Noting more.
Putting the cart before the horse
Mr Chidoka has displayed immense brilliance and knowledge in this matter.
I hope those who should listen are actually doing so.
Nigeria govt need to listen to this guy. He’s making sense to me. God bless you! Mr. Chidi.
Tinubu is fully aware of what he is doing. This coastal road is going to end at Lagos state. He is deceiving gullible ones that the road will run to Calabar. However, well done, Mr. Chidoka for your enlightenment.
Bitter people of the southeast, na una go tire. If you think you can sabotage that project, try it and let's see. *demons and enemies of progress whom like nothing good for nigeria.
Tinubu is not a failure
The man made a whole lot of sense in this interview. I watched it and was enlightened.
Sincerely.
Even Atiku Abubakar has challenged them to start the road from Calabar if they are sincere....
Q²@@dsd-dugbe
Mr Chidoka knows his roads
Abeg this man is so wise ❤
Good, coming from someone that knows our roads, there's nothing one can move to Calabar since it has seaport.
Use ships and ferry or even Cruze ship between Calabar since it's only passengers.
Make it look like fun, tourism, stop demolition and restore landmark now, 50%of those working there are south/south ppl.
Those who know road are not on road, but those who knew not are on d road
I'm obidients I've never condemn things like this my question is why did y'all not say second Niger bridge is a waste? Most people complaining are people who aren't on the coastline regions wickedness is in ur blood
You don't know what you're talking about.
Even Itu road in Calabar is in bad shape for years The Federal Government has been on that road. The truth about this project is that it's just going to end in Lagos.
Trust Nigerians, even when the project is going to be beneficial to the Nigerians in that axis, people will always challenge it. Has he done his findings? If he has, he should provide us with information so we can be on the same page as him and not just give us intellectual information.
@@VinoeP from Lagos to Calabar is not viable enough to waste that kind of amount of money in this difficult, Mr Chidoka is in order, no ethnic group in Nigeria knows Nigeria too well than ndigbo, that coastal road will be like the international airport built by Dave Umahi in Ebonyi state that nobody is using as we speak, his state remain one of the poorest in the country, the money he would've invested in the lives of the youths of his state who are very hardworking but you see them everywhere hawking gala and Pepsi, I don't he's wise enough to be challenging the likes of Mr Peter Obi, he lack capacity to do so, they should go back to the drawing board and get their priority right.
@@VinoeP exactly
We complain of lack of infrastructure right now we've got one but they're all blinded of the stealing that will happen instead of recognizing its benefits as well
one thing is sure with or without this project the govt will still steal so why not we accept the one that has been carved out for this project
I'm from Cross River state i know the benefits of this project believe me so many of here have been looking for alternative route to escape South East death trap
Igbos and IPOB shouldn't even condemn this project because at least some day if they get their own country we in Cross River that are NIGERIANS won't need to pass their country to go to South west NIG
Osita Chidoka is the man any day any time, the only man with the most logical argument on this matter and many other matters I might add. He is detribalised, young, smart & intelligent. I wonder how some elevate Peter Obi above Gems like this. Even though I support the project, he sure has a solid point (cheapest "ship") however rail/road is faster that nails it for me.
I'm seeing him becoming a president first before Peter Obi
Peter obi is better than chidi.
I respect chidi.
Obi is not your typical show person but knows everything that you think Chidoka knows. The mistake some of you make is to think that oratory is the only yardstick for judging intelligence. A person without oratory skills might be more intelligent that the orator. But it is not to say Chidoka is not not great.
@@el-rufaithebanditslover2313you nailed, Thks
@@el-rufaithebanditslover2313 Osita Chidoka was once FRSC Marshall Corp and Minister for Transportationa and Aviation. He know his onions well. Far better than Peter Obi that his cult followers are trying too hard to sell as the next best thing after slice bread.
If you've been following the polity for over 10 years, you will understand. But I don't expect PO fans to grasp it.
You spoke like former Aviation minister you are, man with wisdom
Follow who know road... this man ought to be the minister
Exactly, he should have been minister of works.
Can we please clap for this man Chidoka the end of the interview is the last nail to the coffin
This man is beyond intellectual
The wrong people are ruling us. Imagine this dude as a transport Minister. Very sound mind.
Even if he's Transport minister nothing will be done because the man at the helm of affairs is thinking in reverse gear - how to win (rig) the next election. He cannot be more catholic than the pope.
Osita too sound
My great boss Mr Osita Chidioka, I really enjoyed this your analysis and with all due respect sir, I love your peaches sir. God bless you more 👌 ✌️. You Nail it like a wonderful son of igbo land 💪
I am always delighted to listen to this brilliant anr outstandindung lad. What a man!
They are not trying to solve any problem. The clear objective is laying hands on the national treasury, hence the violation of almost all known regulations.
David Umahi is only a 'loyal' servant working for his stomach. 'Stomach' infrastructure!
Always Interesting listening to an intelligent man speak.
What about Train project to link all regions.
OR
Focus on Electricity in Nigeria.. which will Trickle to all Sectors in the country
This present government has not done their deep due deligence on the project. They're out to make money for themselves. Personal interest supercedes public interest.
The truth is that there's impunity in ongoing project and my worry is that Umahi who is boldly showing his face everywhere defending the indefensible may one day realise he has been used.
No you got it wrong... he has not been used but doing the right thing to the country.
@@mikeabiodun1428 The same way Emefiele was doing the right thing during the Naira redesign policy and now. It appears he was the biggest criminal in the history of our country.
My brother you make sense, one day Umahi will be jailed by his friends now
@@Buike19415 Lol my brother why is it only southeastern are against the highway costal way? Ask yourself and your david umahi is telling you guys stop creating enemy for yourself. All i see is that all of you want peter obi to rule the country that is why you are against what comes from tinubu.
@@edithogie6462 You mean peter obi?
Thank you Hon. Chidoka for this wonderful take.
Great mind. We hope the power brokers listen.
Very insightful and analytical
Waw, this guy is seriously loaded
Very compose with words and well cuture
Nice thought.
I really dont know why the president cannot call this off
The national assembly and the top civil servants have lost the plot as they themselves corners all the advertised projects in the tenders journals. Those who come for equity must come with clean hands. This current government is an extension of Lagos state rot.
To have a conversation on 40 years 40-year-old project, every smart person in Nigeria is now an expert.
Now you understand thanks my brother, let them know what high level of intelligent we operate.🤣😂👌
Thank u former CM... So full of knowledge
This man what he is saying,,,he has the knowledge
Listening to Umahi last time on Arise and people were applauding him shows how fantastic criminals Nigeria politicians are when the want to loot public fund, they rather die than to use there knowledge to help their country, but I thought what is happening to Emiefele now should have be a lesson because one day will come Umahi will give account of this project and that time Tinubu won't be in the picture to defend you, just continue deceiving yourself thinking that Nigerians are fools. Good one, Mr Chidoka
I think this is gonna be the biggest mistake of this administration
Chidoka knows his onions. Truly, he transversed the Nigerian roads when he was FRSC Marshall.
This man is always clear on his responses as one that knows his subject ; really, we need to ask questions about the financial viability and financing of the Lagos Calabar Coastal highway
Great question. What problem are we looking to solve with this coastal road? Fixing the existing roads would be cost beneficial and make more sense
We don't have roads in Nigeria the poorest African country have roads more than Nigeria!!
An intelligent submission
Person that knows Nigeria, see as he dey mention the roads and major cities
This people they don't want good thing to come out from tinubu to let them get mouth
This is another project for the boys! Elephant project!
Chidioka is should be an administrative course that should be studied.
Brilliant analysis. I always like listening to this guy
Highly intelligent man
BAT doesnt want a legacy project, he can easily do that, he has already ceased it, took it, snatched it and ran with it.
I agree with Osita 💯. The idea of this project is unnecessary, ill-conceived and is not economically viable but some myopic minds won't understand. Nigeria is even too broke to fund it.
Alternatively, let's repair and dualize existing interstate highways and expand the standard gauge railway network across major cities.
Okay, tell us layman’s what you mr.prescient sees that we don’t ? Since we are so myopic. What’s the problem with building a new road. If you were to tell any country fix all old infrastructure before beginning any new ones, the world would be in a state of inertia 😂
@@kyne7509
Because it's all about scamming the people and running away with their money 💰. And you won't be able to do anything 😞.
What about the Road's implications on Nigeria's Blue Ocean Economy Strategy ? The assertion that because there are Ports on Onne,PH, Calarbar, etc along the Coast still doesn't substitute road & rail network along the Coastal line. The Atlantic Coast isn't an Inland Water Way Traffic . How many International Ocean going Vessels make Port calls outside of Lagos to PH , Onne? Exceptional cases when it involves oversize cargo meant for Projects like in Oil services. The Coastal Road will open up other Costal States currently under developed in areas of Agriculture, Mining , Aquaculture, Tourism & Hospitality etc , amongst other potential Investments that will move to those areas. My suspicion is that this road is seen by some section as a Political & Geographical stroke to build a bridge amongst the Ethnic Groups along the Coast especially the Oil producing States whilst further isolating the hinterland secessionists groups from the Coastal Communities. This may be the real unverbalised anger some section have about the road. I am not making excuses for the alleged corruption involved in the contract award process. Is anything corrupt free in Nigeria ??
Unverbalised anger is not a crime punishable by the law Sir.
@aromaye, I love your insightful contribution, we have other people who refuse to see the brighter side of the project. A new road opens a new frontier. I remember the professional of engineers came up with a road plan that runs through the whole country, just like the major express way that connects all the states in America.
Sound interview!
Intelligent man .
Apt
BRILLIANT analysis…👏
Always stopping good projects when they are not included
Agree with chidoka.
He is making 100percent sense
Just hear Chidoka saying what he knows.❤
But tribalism won't allow the president to appont Chidoka.
They prefer incompetent, yes- men.😅😅😂😂
And then tell us to pray for our leaders..😂😂😂
What did he achieved when he was the Minister of Aviation? You think some of us have forgotten the abysmal record he left when he was there?

Nice interview, food for thought
This is unstoppable. It is a great development project that Nigerians will appreciate on completion. Don't be cynical about it.
Tinubu opened up Lekki Penisula area that you people are cravings for today some years back when he was a Governor,and Lekki Phase 1 was a glorified village with no electricity. Before Tinubu became a Governor, people should know that there was no traffic light in lagos, and no street lights anywhere in mainland.
Well spoken. We don't need coaster road, is a wast of resources. Let him use the money he want to use to construct that coater to repair all the federal roads in Nigeria.
Are they not in the country, they stopped retrogratory attitudes that have left us without critical infrastructures.
Can amendment, adjustable and reconciliation continue with the ongoing process. Instead of starting and stopping and recommencing.
They should be progressive and leave trivialities
This roads are for private investor for dangote refinery and more. This country tire me 😢😢😢
You think so.......you mean the ones that has left the country, or the ones that is coming
Dey play........
Sound argument
I totally agree with Osita Chidoka. This costal highway is a jamboree and waste of scarce resources, it’s not economical and sustainable. Simply a means for Tinubu to defraud Nigerians through HiTek with dave umahi as a willing enabler.
What Chidoka said here is exactly what the visionary Peter Obi said last month. Stop this wasteful project and fix the existing Nigeria roads
Nice one Dr. Chodika
“Naunu” can change it, God knows when.
Although, Mr Osita has made great sense.. the government should Ponder on Legacy project that will uplift the lives of Nigeria
I wonder how long the Lagos coastal road will actually take to be done.
Government is talking of transparency. They knew the procedures to follow. But Corruption is involved here.
It's a selfish interest. Spending that money on all federal roads across the country will serve a better purpose than the coastal highway. A bet you, this project will end in Lagos. But what do I know. The way government handles taxpayers money is unbelievable.
This kind talk is not new for ABAT. It is important to note that Lagos was never the same again after governor Tinubu same way Naija will never be the same again after President Tinubu.
When he opened up the Lekki corridor back in 1999, apart from chevron, swamp forests and scanty beaches, there was nothing on ground. But 20 years later the story is different. Ppl are going as far as using their own modas do ritual so they can live in Lekki. All they did was to build standard access road.
For the most part, many of the naysayers back than are no longer around today to eat their words but thank God for preserving ABAT for us to do it one more time.
Just shut up.
Your ABAT has been president for 1 year. How is Nigeria faring?
Post any evidence of projects completed by ABAT as Lagos governor 1999-2007?
@@mrmaxwellogundufirst you said "shutup" then next thing you're demanding for evidence of Lekki-Epe expressway. Pls make up your mind abeg.
David umahi, please don't scam Nigeria with illegal coastal road project, go and rehabilitate the old roads.
Chidoka doesnt want funds spent during campaign to be fully recouped with profit
People why can't we forget about politics and use those who have capacity and knowledge in Nigeria.... putting round pegs in round hole....who is not impressed with this discussion.May God help us.
