bloggernaija: Yeah right.
Privilege kid.
Borno what again?
Fashola should waste precious and limited resources on an inconsequential residential road and ignore major commercial roads because you are entitled to it ba.
Better go back to school and retake basic economics.
Scale of preference .
Opportunity cost.

This time around , do not cram it ,simply read it to understand.
If you are not satisfied ,go to your local government chairman

princemolak: Why will a Government abandon a certain area because They didnt vote for Him there,Nigeria as not Gone that Bad

That is a politically biased statement that does not hold water. The truth of the matter is that the resources of the govt is limited and the needs (not just wants) of the state far outstrip it. BRF has taxed the people to the max and their is a limit to wish you can increase IGR yet the money no reach. i will like the electorates to keep highlighting all these bad areas to keep the govt on their toes but to say that political affiliation is the reason why such roads remain undone is simplistic and childish. It is like the alleged ant-igbo agenda in Okota and FESTAC.

Anyone that doubts the allegaton of intentional marginalization should visit Borno way.
Just 500 meters away from this pictured spot towards Post office area,there's a street called Abeokuta street. It links Murtala Mohammed way to Herbert Macaulay way cutting through Borno way. 'Abeokuta street' was recently reconstructed from scratch-and it wasn't even this bad.
Guess what? A few ACN chieftains live on Abeoukuta street.
Please,just go out there and verify,no need to defend or insult anybody on this thread.

Andro Blaze: OP you have it good.

Come to Alpha Beach Road and you will know what neglect and vindictiveness is. Also when we ask our local leaders they say it is because we were sold to PDP too. What a wonderful democracy we live in.

pheesayor: I stepped out for lunch and decided to take pictures of a portion of the said "borno road". This is off alagomeji bus stop on muritala mohammed road. If this thread isn't out of mischief, I wonder what else it can be

publisher: Borno way located in the Ebute Metta East Area of Lagos state is one of the most prominent roads on the Lagos mainland.

Borno way was constructed to taste during the Jakande administration,well paved with side walks and street lights. Subsequent military administrations ensured that the road was well maintained,up until 1999. Borno way is an inner road that connects the famous Oyingbo market with several prime locations such as Adekunle, Alagomeji , down to Sabo,Yaba. Several businesses and middle class residential apartments are located along Borno way. Unfortunately,the current state of 'Borno way' starting from Oyingbo axis down to Adekunle will definitely bring tears to the eyes of long time residents of that area.

Many residents allege that Borno way (a state government road) is being punished because it's located within a PDP stronghold part of Lagos. The gist is that during Governor Tinubu's first term between 1999 and 2003,he had initiated the rehabilitation of Borno way but in 2003 people of that area voted massively for PDP during the 2003 elections and have remained punished and abandoned ever since.

A top AD local chieftain is quoted to have declared (in 2003) that the AD would teach 'Borno way people' a bitter lesson.
So,is this it?

Here are some pictures...

Peinstein:

Thanks for the pictures, these roads dont look as bad as OP made it to be.

realone2012: This ROAD isn't BAD enough I tell you!
Come to BADAGRY EXPRESS-WAY; A FEDERAL ROAD that links Nigeria with MOST WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES (I MEAN COUNTRIES). They have been doing that road since 2007 courtesy Fashola who forced the FG hand. The condition of the road is MORE THAN being WORST, and they are still at MILE-2 (which is not more than 100M from where they started the road since 2007).
This Country is a Joke!!!

talktimi: so in your warped way of thinking, it is wrong for the electorate to ask their political leaders for democratic dividends. Pls within the next 24hrs try and grow a brain. Ok

Warp way of thinking ?init
Why not ask for Gold plated Cadillac .
Since you expect rather governor to pluck money from nowhere and start performing magic.
You have to balance your expectation with reality.
My own street,the place I grew up was a dirt road for 40 yrs until tinubu tarred it in 2000.
We considered ourselves lucky because major streets were not touched.
This was due to the fact that every resident obeyed planning laws ,built properly and every landlord contributed money( self taxed) to build a solid drainage system for our area in the 80's
The place only flooded once in the early 70's and has not since the drainage system was built,
he later did the other roads as well.
Many major street in Lagos have never seen a single tipper of sand in their history
There are street that are not even big enough for a car.
I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE FASHOLA GOVERNMENT IS AWARE OF THAT PROBLEM .
BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THEY OPERATE.
IT IS PROBABLY SOMEWHERE LOW ON A LIST OF PROJECT ,IN A SPREADSHEET .
BUT TRY TO BALANCE YOUR EXPECTATIONS WITH REALITY.
LAGOS IS ONLY A RICH ON PAPER AND IN POTENTIAL
LAGOS GETS THE LOWEST ALLOCATION PER HEAD IN THE COUNTRY AND ONLY THROUGH HARDWORK ,HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO GENERATE FUNDS TO DO WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO
THOSE WHO PUT THE MOST PRESSURE ON THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE ARE EITHER NEW RESIDENTS OR ECONOMIC REFUGEES FROM OTHER STATES.
THE POPULATION AND PRESSURE ON HER INFRASTRUCTURE ENSURES THAT MONIES REQUIRED FOR THE BENEFIT OF HER INDIGENS AND PRODUCTIVE RESIDENTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE USED TO MANAGE THAT BLOATED POPULATION.

sammhi: This is what most of the inner roads and streets in lagos are... and is not due to any PDP stronghold.. ..only the major roads have been rehabilitated and beautified... that is the great deception going on so that visitors will say gov Fasola is performing
pls go to Aguda, surulere, most of Ajah and Lekki inner streets, Iyana ipaja, etc. you will wonder what the government actually does with the 500bn budget ..as even good roads are luxury
have you pass some roads in Ikoyi ...e.g. the road beside NNpc fuel station. Its state is same as this....
LASG claim to have 9000 roads and streets...can you say 10%(900) are vehicle worthy? I doubt but LASG has VIOs on the roads to check vehicles for road worthiness. Another fraud!!. When even their BRT are not road worthy...Fasola LASG is the greatest deceit of government in lagos I have ever witness...we can go on and on...
