The road is at 85% completion

MrEverest:
pure and undiluted sarcasm

seangy4konji:
I wonder if things will ever get better in Nigeria with sights like this.

There is no way you can live long in life if you pass that road every day of your life for 5 years.

ayonice:
this is what hausa foolanis caused for 39 years they ruled us.

prophetfire:
I am igbo and the truth is that whn it cmes to political leadership n political decisions,our people become foolish.they allow petty sentiments n emotionalism to becloud their sense of reasoning.

lastpage:


Everything you said was sounding PLAUSIBLE.... and l say plausible because most are in the FUTURE TENSE, as most projects that have been "achieved" by this fraudulent govt until.... the bolded parts!

To blame the sate of the road on the NATURE OF SOIL is the height of stewpidity by any illiterate that has access to internet!

I will tell you something today:
Early this year, l branched to see a Cousin of mine in Ireland-Dublin, on my way from the U.S.
I spent three weeks with his family and it rained EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of those three Weeks!
It rains so much in that place that they have a joke which goes that "The only reason you see an irish person in church is because he is trying to take shelter from the rain"!
I am sure those who are familiar with that country will bear me out on this.
I asked my cousin how they are able to survive with this kind of rain ... then he reminded me that "Life here has adpted to and conquered" the rainy environment.

Just use "Google Maps" to zoom-in and view the roads and streets in that country and it will amaze you! A country that does not have ONE SINGLE Natural resources o!
Reason l brought this up is that the country is an Island, completely out of nowhere and it rains there 90% of the time, (dont even talk about the kind of crazy breeze that blows there!) yet... You need to see the roads in this place! You will just love to drive around!

Solid roads, well maintained and very smooth.
They are not complaining about rain or soil yet here in Nigeria, somebody is repeating the same silly excuses that l have been hearing for almost twenty five years when l first visited the East?

How do you expect the roads to last more than "One season" when all the contractors in Nigeria do is just "spray asphalt paint on red sand" and call it road construction?
I drove on the Ife Expressway when it was just completed about 2001 and God, that was my best drive back then (In a V-Boot!) but because of the poor materials used by "Oni of Ife's company" that did that road, it collapsed within two years of construction.
Go and see the same road now, its a mess ..or are you going to blame "rain and soil" for a road in the South West as well?

How about using other methods like "Concrete" for such roads, if Asphalt has been failing since the days of Lord Lugard?
Or are we that daft?

A badly constructed road, due to endemic corruption, will not last more than one season but a well constructed road (using internation standards w.r.t. thickness of asphalt, the right type of base material, et.c.) will last at least 30yrs and all you need do is just small-small patching!

Some of the roads made in the days of Herbert Macualay, are still intact in some parts of Lagos, up till today!

NgeneUkwenu:
This is what we have in the south East after Six years of jonathan Ebele Azikiwe Goodluck Omereoha's presidency.

martinbillings:
Anyday someone ask what Jona has done for the Igbos, that person must surely incur the wrath of God. Please leave us alone, we have made our choice.

In Sapele, we have a saying; "two men no dey argue who him "osho" big pass make one say he dey go house go bring him own. Seeing is believing. Who no go fit show him own, make he quiet."
You see, Awazie who I had no hesitation picking to join the TEAM GEJ debate team has thrown down the gauntlet to all the devilish press liars who say the Second Niger Bridge is nothing but an election gimmick.
Well, if building it so people vote for you, is a gimmick, then so be it, but telling people it is not being built , is what has irked Chinomso. He wonders if the functioning Enugu International airport is also a hoax.
So like a man whose "manhood" has been challenged, Chinomso has taken down his boxers and his opponents have scurried away....and I hear Chimnonso even has a cold and it is not its full length yet....and still his opponents ran.

You see, APC people have no pictures to show for BUHARI'S TEN YEARS IN GOVERNMENT viz Borno State Governor, Minister of Petroleum, NNPC head, Head of State and PTF boss. They cannot show any pictures because Buhari gave all the contracts to his inlaw and all the projects are either destroyed or never came onstream. Babangida has Third Mainland Bridge to show us, Buhari none, not even an anthill or temitorium.
GEJ is however building at least 2 bridges that I know of. The Benue Bridge is making sense now and the Second Niger Bridge is now the cause of contention.

You see, that GEJ is building this 2nd Niger Bridge after making Enugu an International airport is annoying many people. To them, Gowon's "no victor, no vanquished" must be made a lie. The East must remain conquered. They must ensure there is no route from there out of the country. Now GEJ is balancing out development, and that just annoys.

Is it not a shame that this Niger Bridge is being built by GEJ? After all the shelling Obasanjo gave the bridge, did he think that the bridge needed repairs and then a second one?
The question the Ibos have asked and answered is AFTER TEN YEARS OF BUHARI IN GOVERNMENT, WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR IBOS? Even IBB at least chose an Ibo man as deputy, though a stubborn Ibo man.
Buhari chose his Northerner as deputy and no Ibo man was top 10. I am not talking about the fact Buhari was second in command to ADEKUNLE THE SCORPION's 2-IC. I am not talking about the fact that Buhari went and arrested Ojukwu FOR NOTHING!!! I am not talking about putting Ekweme in Kirikiri prison, under terrible conditions, while Shagari was flexing at home with his wife. I am not even talking about the many Ibos and Nigerians who have literally been his "dogs and baboons in the hands of Boko Haram".
I am simply asking APC to say what Buhari has done for Ibos and pictorially.

Goodluck Jonathan is empowering Ibo men including Pius Anyim and many others. Things that were exclusive to Hausa-Fulani is coming down East and they say "he is dividing Nigerians." Yes, anyone who does not kowtow to the usual, but empowers other areas is "dividing Nigeria.
So Awazie has pulled out his "anaconda", Let the APC people counter this, not by rhetoric and badmouthing and general witchcraft. They should begin to show us their "amgba" by showing us pictures and or directing us to THINGS BUILT BY BUHARI IN 10 YEARS OF GOVERNANCE, and then tell us when they have ever seen Julius Berger go on any building site to play Koso/kelekele.

So again APC, BUHARI HAS RULED FOR 10 YEARS as Governor of Borno, Minister of petroleum, Head of State, and PTF boss. Trillions have passed his office. WHAT DID HE DO FOR IBOS? SHOW US PICTURES!!!! GIVE US ADDRESSES.
Tomorrow we will hear another story that Buhari discovered River Niger or River Benue, show us the pictures.

emmasege:
You are right friend. I recently told a northern friend of mine that the reason for their blind campaign for buhari is because they want power to return to the north, particularly d n/west at all cost. As at this moment, I'm giving it to Jonathan not because he's good or deserves it but because the opposition party has failed to do the needful. If they really cared so much about rescuing Nigeria from PDP, they would forget sentiment & pick d best man in their camp whose sterling performance as governor speaks volumes & who's not known for any religious bigotry. I'd gladly join d campaign train of APC if they consider Babatunde Raji FASHOLA as dr flag bearer & a northern Christian as his running mate. I'd like to see a situation where we will have a southern Muslim as president & a northern Christian as d VP.

well i schooled in enugu, that place is trash. lets be sincere. onisha is a joke compare to asaba

emmysoftyou:
yes my dear it s very pathetic because nigeria my country is pathetic too.

pls i have one/two questions to ask yu after ur reply.
after displaying the pathetic and unfortunate federal roads that lead to onitsha-awka and enugu -portharcourt expressway...

are you guys now telling us not to vote for jonathan and who do yu expect us to vote for?

hansad:
[b]What is going on is a continuation of ever-Conspiratorial government of Nigeria - GEJ is a mere figure head.

Apart from rushing and building five lane express ways in the north, Nigeria's government is only busy in the south building the expensive East-West Road that joins oil producing states in the southsouth to the Southwest region, which has many roads and rail connection with the north.

A short while ago, VP Namadi Sambo also talked about his office approving a new Railway line running along the coast from Lagos to Calabar. The East-West road and rail line are in a most difficult water/land terrain hence, cost of servicing them alone if ever completed may be alarming.

We still have same conspiracy governance system established by northern military regimes that led them to building oil tunnel from the southsouth to Kaduna.

Nigeria has remained a country where resources are not judiciously deployed by leaders bedeviled by ethnic bigotry, a wasteful country: during the military regimes, ultramodern digital telephone exchanges were first built in very small towns in mostly the north, while big cities down south were struggling with old and dysfunctional analog telephone exchanges. NITEL latter died.[/b]

IGBOSON1:


^^^Did You just say Enugu is thrash?

donnypool:



yes i did

Mrval20:

It's either you haven't been to Enugu before or you're simply joking

IGBOSON1:


^^^Hehehehehe

It's obvious what his problem is!

dmozart:
LONG MEANINGLESS THRASH !!! What sort of impact do you want a Governor of Borno to make in Nkpor, Orlu, Ikwuano, Igbo-eze, ? Was it Buhari hat declared police action in 1966? Or Gowon? Every Soldier was conscripted to the war front, it was not a matter of choice....so do you blame Buhari for the war? I know you are a paid pen pusher, but not a very good one..... Next time, try post solid points, cos u r post was unnecessarily long and full of jargons. Buhari ga abu presidemt Nigeria 2015.

MrEverest:
God have mercy on us! Is it rocket science to build and maintain roads in the SE and in indeed the entire south. This is an assault to the sensibility of any modern day man.
