As a civil engineer, I find it surprising that people who have no engineering training will boldly fault engineering design decisions without understanding the background reason. The real question any critic should ask is: are the reasons behind this design change genuine? You are laughing with emojis because you are looking at a mega-infrastructure project through the lens of a tailor. A road route is not drawn in permanent ink. The diversion of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway from the immediate shoreline is not a mistake; it is a calculated decision based on very practical realities.  First, the original route directly clashed with the landing stations of Nigeria's international submarine cables. Building over them would mean risking a massive internet and telecommunications blackout for the entire country. Second, sticking strictly to the old coastal line meant the government would have to destroy multi-billion Naira investments, established resorts, and ancestral communities. One of them is Okun-Ajah. Therefore, diverting the road slightly inland saves the government billions in compensation and protects people's homes and livelihoods. Again, one thing we must not forget is that the Atlantic Ocean is aggressive. Because of severe coastal erosion, building a permanent highway right on the water's edge is dangerous. As such, moving the road inward creates a safe buffer against ocean surges so the highway does not wash away in a few years. Anything outside of this is a political talk. And I am not interested in that. Engineering is about solving real-world problems. So next time, before you laugh at a structural diversion, understand the facts driving it.
