NUJ Asks FG, States To Urgently Fix Federal Roads In Southeast by chumaster(m): 5:52pm On Sep 16, 2016
The Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) has decried the deplorable state of federal roads in Nigeria’s southeast region.

The NUJ calls on the Federal Government and governors of the five states in the region to as a matter of urgency, declare a state of emergency on the roads.

The National Vice Chairman of the union, Zone C, Chris Isiguzo, made the call on Friday at a meeting with the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, at the Government House in Owerri, the state’s capital.

Speaking in company of the NUJ executive members of Zone C, Mr Isiguzo described all the federal roads in the southeast as a ‘death trap’.
He identified the Owerri-Okigwe Road, Onitsha- Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Aba-Ikot-Ekpene-Uyo Expressway and Owerri-Port Harcourt Road among others as some of the important roads in the region.

The NUJ executive urged the Federal Government in collaboration with the governors to find a solution to the problem, so as to make life easier for the people of the south-east.
He also asked the governors to tackle the continuous attacks on the people of the region by suspected herdsmen.

In his response, Governor Okorocha blamed the road dilapidation in the region on previous governments, saying there were neglected.
However, he promised to call on his colleagues to see how most of the issues raised would be tackled headlong.

Ebele Azikiwe rehabilitated all the federal, state and local roads in South east, in fact he initiated the construction of 2nd Niger bridge.

Umu'igbo can testify to that.

South east, my south eastern brothers are not only confused but unconscious, today they say the want Biafra tomorrow they cry of being marginalized. I intentionally served in the east to know their way of life. The are the most disunited tribe on earth, igbos don't trust their next neighbor, that's why you will notice individual fencing around every building even if the building is two rooms BQ. Their tradition and belief support that every house must have an "OBI" this is like a small palace. If every man is a king in a small village how would they obey and listen to the real king of that village. Every nukes and crannies in the east you will see the inscription "autonomous community" meaning that they are not under the authority of anyone. As we speak there are more APC supporters in the east most especially Imo state than the so called PDP I worked as inec Officer in one of the elections people trooped out to vote for APC. Their indeginous APGA is as dead as the founder. There's nothing like respect to the elders in the east, as we speak there's no single political leader that the east can boast of unlike other regions like the north and southwest. No presidential material, no united ethnic group today you hear of iPod, Massob and so on. Outside their southeast, they are more distumited, after meeting of Igbo people in a particular street in Lagos, then another meeting of people that come from same local government in the east, then you see another meeting of people from same village and so on. I took time to ask old people about the origin of Igbo people they have different stories to tell. They can't even mention the name of their forefather just as Hausa history can lay claim to BABAYIDA and Yoruba ODUDUWA. Some of them claim that they are from Israel I wonder how they cross the Red Sea. I don't hate ibos an ibos man chidiebere is my best friend but I just think in my opinion if this wonderful, innovative and industrious tribe can come together they can rule world.

I'm still wondering what Jonathan did in the south east that made them love him so much. during his regime I used to travel from calabar to Owerri every month and I can boldly tell you that Ikot ekpene to umuhiaha road is the worst road in the country!!! sometimes I'll take a detour from Owerri to port Harcourt to spend a day or two with a friend at air force base in PH before going back to calabar. pH-Owerri road is horrible too.

anyone who has never been to the south east would think that the roads there must have been paved with Gold by Jonathan with the level of support he gets from them. it's a shame he couldn't even deliver one single federal road to them.
My south east brothers need to forget sentiments and accept the fact. Jonathan is a failure!!!

South East did not vote Buhari and they want him to fix their roads. How nah?

He made himself categorically clear that he will focus attention on zones that gave him majority vote.

Why ask.
People think Buhari is GEJ. He is not weak.

When you he say something, be rest assured that he will do it. Whether good or bad stuff.

That's why people's voted him

, it pays to think before talking, not after talking!!!! Igbos supported GEJ, not cos he did anything for us, but cos he is a Southerner!!!!! GEJ did absolutely NOTHING for South East, we just don't have the mind to betray Fellow Southerners, no matter the Southern Zone the person is from... unlike the treacherous afonjass that will not only betray southerners, but will also betray themselves!!! South East has always been shortchanged by the Nigerian government since time immemorial, that's why we keep saying we wanna leave!!!! So, if ur brain isn't functional yet, why not shut the hole in ur face, till it is!!!!
