One year on from the heartbreaking loss of Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre, we continue to remember them.
Our thoughts remain with their loved ones on this emotional day ❤️
Let it be known when the coastal road construction started
There was no EIA
That is illegal
Anyone that does that has broken the following laws
The primary law in Nigeria that mandates an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) before starting a project is the Environmental Impact Assessment Act, Cap E12, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN) 2004. Originally enacted as Decree No. 86 of 1992, this legislation forbids both public and private sector developers from embarking on major projects without prior evaluation of their environmental impacts.
The Federal Framework
•The EIA Act (Cap E12): Section 2 of the EIA Act explicitly restricts any public or private authority from authorizing or undertaking projects that significantly affect the environment without an early-stage assessment. Section 13 sets out a "Mandatory Study List" for Category I projects (such as large-scale agriculture, airport construction, coastal reclamation, and mining) which legally cannot bypass a full-scale EIA. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
•Nigerian Urban and Regional Planning Act (Cap N138 LFN 2004): This law complements the EIA Act by requiring an environmental impact report before physical planning permissions or development permits are granted for major commercial or residential projects. [1]
The coastal road construction started and 1 month to its completion that was when the EIA was released
I got stranded one weekend and needed to make an urgent transfer, but Zenith Bank decided to misbehave. I called my girlfriend and asked if she could lend me the money, promising to send it back the moment my transaction went through.
She said, “I don’t think I can.”
I asked why, thinking maybe she had a genuine reason. She replied, “You know I don’t like taking money out of my savings.”
I asked again just to be sure I heard her correctly. She repeated the exact same thing.
I simply said, “Okay,” and ended the call. A few days later, I ended the relationship too.
It wasn’t even about the money. It was realizing I couldn’t count on the person I was planning a future with when I genuinely needed help.
One year ago, football lost Diogo Jota and his brother Andre. The special memories Diogo made in the Premier League and Portuguese football will forever be cherished by the millions of fans around the world he inspired.
Dear Lucas Herrington,
if you ever read this: The 31 y/o CL winner Leon Goretzka, player of 6 times CL winners Bayern & 4 times World Cup winners Germany didn‘t dare taking a penalty for his nation when they needed him. You did it at 18. You are so brave & a hero in our eyes ❤️
God see my heart that all my fight for the lack of due process has been vindicated with the EIA resort that was only completed 1 month before the coastal road was commissioned
The EIA further said the coastal road will cause flooding!
Adire and Ankara can’t be the uniform for all NYSC members across the country. We are all not from the SW region.
The current uniform is sexless, detribalized and smart.
NYSC is still one of the few programmes that genuinely promotes national unity by exposing young Nigerians to different cultures, people and ways of life.
Rather than focusing on cosmetic changes like uniforms or ceremonies, we should be addressing the real issues affecting the scheme and investing in practical, long-term entrepreneurship education.
The FG should rethink this.
How do I tell people that Prince Adeyemi’s case with Gbaja is a tip of the iceberg in our federal budget?
The National commission for the Almajiri and Out of School Children Education situated in Abuja will spend 1,400,000,000 ($1.1m) on “Rehabilitation & Construction of Obasanjo-Itele Road & Idogo Township road” in faraway Ogun state”
🤦🏽♂️
Nigeria is officially a joke
An EIA is a prerequisite before you start a project
The EIA of the coastal road was only completed 1 month before the coastal road was commissioned
The coastal was commissioned in May 2025
EIA was completed in April 2025
Mr Umahi has more questions to answer
It’s obvious when we asked for the EIA they didn’t have it
Construction on this highway officially began in March 2024. Releasing or finalizing EIA components a year later (April 2025) and commissioning the first phase in May 2025 means the project was built retrospectively. This defeats the legal purpose of an EIA, which is to prevent harm rather than document it after construction.[1, 2, 3, 4]
