I mean the south itself is just as undeveloped. So that statement amuse me to no ends.

I dare say it's extremely rare, almost impossible, to find such an eyesore in northern Nigeria.

Then you haven't really been to the north.

Julius berger and RCc too big ,just give this road to those China construction ccc and watch magic happen .. spiritual koo .. spiritual nii .. so if them put interlocking for this road ,ur spirit go come come out .. I wish u know d sorry state of ayobo-ipaja road in Lagos before those China people handled it .. most Nigerian construction companies are very incompetent, I stand to be corrected

See the roads leading to Enyimba Stadium

I feel like throwing up looking at these pictures.

zionmade2:

During construction of dat road in 2005 those tunnels were opened and drained. No lets use along east as a case study. Go there now and stand by ulasi or danfodio and tell me wat u notice.
Before opp our ladies was constructed d last time a very big fish was removed from opp st anthony and since den d road stood. Anyway i will rest my case here

Hmmm....interesting. .. a fish was responsible for bad roads.....wonder if they're moving that fish around?

zionmade2:

D same company dat constructed other roads in aba dat is still standing today has constructed dat road. Dat road has been constructed more dan 3 times since i knew it. It doesn't even last for 2 months.
I have been there bro. I know exactly wat am saying. Visit those vicinities where most thieves were burn, d roads get damaged almost immediately they are constructed.
Ulasi, dikenafai, danfodio all comes to my mind

you people should stop arguing joor the road is aba made and anything made in aba is ....

Danfodio is even worse than I left it in 1989 for Abuja. I was there in July. U can't even enter from the east. You have to enter eche road and then cross over.
I wonder why they build roads without gutters. Its a waste of time, knowing Aba's terrain and topography.

Aba brings tears to my eyes each time I go there or see pictures of it. That's a town that ordinarily can feed Abia state from IGR alone if well managed. I wish this governor well. Wish others were as serious.

I'm sorry this your spiritual talk no make sense at all.

Things of dat nature doesnt make sense to those who dnt operate at that realm.

Ur analysis is wrong on all counts.
1st of all,remember Aba is just a town in Abia and not d state capital.
In d north,such a town might have just 2 or maximum of 3 tarred roads,one federal road passing thru d town,one to d local govt headquarters which might also serve INEC office,divisional police office etc wc are usually sited near each other and maybe a 3rd leading to d major market.d rest will just be laterite roads though the north is lucky cos they have more of sandy soil which gives off less dust and retains little or no water.This road in question is one of d hundreds of roads in Aba and U can't compare it to a typical local govt in d north that at most will have 5 or 6 tarred roads.
U have to also factor in d issue of rainfall and soil type.Aba will have had up to 10 episodes of rainfall by now while d north central hasn't had even one yet talk more of d so called core north and Aba has a loamy soil wc retains water more and this is clearly not good for roads.
Let us not even go into other indices of development.In a whole local govt U might have just 2 secondary schools and 4 primary schools or at most double of that.Usually 1 general hospital and almost non existent private hospitals except in d state capital or few in few commercial towns.
When U analyse my write up,remember I am not talking abt d state capitals and yes,I've lived in and traversed 85% d north,I know what I'm talking about.
I doubt if there's any place in d south where ppl still drink water gotten from d same ponds where animals drink from by now but it's still a common sight in d northern hinterlands.

The governor should lobby the federal to do their roads in that city.

See them, never blaming their governors.

You have been told ;Julius Berger. Make we see that winch

Greeninho:



One thing you must understand is that all adjoining roads to that ohanku empty their inexistent gutters on that road and the road has a poor drainage system. There are manholes (tunnels) on that road (ohanku) that lead to riverside but its blocked. I have always maintained that roads that lead to or that cuts across markets and outskirts of the city should be dualized. Such road cannot be repaired by unknown construction company. That road should be dualized and the drainage system opened and directed to move waters back to riverside instead of what is obtainable now. Berger, Arab contractors, inter bau or even rcc can do it.

The problem with ohanku as I highlighted is the same problem with faulks road, ngwa road and cemetery road.

You have a clear understanding of the problem with the road. Faulks road is being addressed as we speak. I pray the governor to expedite action in resolving whatever issue is keeping him from addressing the road. Emeka Wogu scored a low in this regard. I saw his house, I mean ancestral home, in one of the pix. What a shame!

Lordave:
You've said it all!

All i can see are brown roofed houses and erosion-ravaged roads. I thought the Igbos say iron sheets don't get corroded in their region. No wonder they are trooping to westside due to desolation and despondency of their crime-infested enclave.Anoufia!

zionmade2:
I schooled at d brown 5-storey building showing in one of those pics. Ohanku has been reconstructed many times and stiil no way. D last time i was around there a life was lost during d construction.
I told my classmates den and am still saying it today so many years after.
So many blood were shed on that road only second to ngwa road Junction. So many thieves were burnt on dat road including someone who only stole maggi. In as much as there was a time aba needed to purge themselves of thieves but so many thieves whose action were not worth death were burnt on those roads.
Until something spiritual is done they can construct dat road a thousand times it will go back to dat state. Aba has so many blood on their hands and dat city require spiritual purging

Their is no hope in this country, so far as most people reason the same way as you. use quality materials with good drainage to make that road and let me see the devil that would affect its condition. Everything mustn't be supernatural.

lolz, u hv a point but I think it's poor drainage that caused this. From an engineer's point of view

Being a Northerner, there are just two states I have not visited in the North and the states I have visited, I explored them very well and based on my knowledge, I can say without any fear of contradiction that there is nothing like this in the North.

But, conversely, many states in the South have sights like this.
Now, is it these sights they call development and advancement?

If a picture of one bad road in the North is uploaded by one bigot, you will see them self-service out their lives on that pic, meanwhile they have things like this.

Someone rightly observed on this thread; this should be one of the wonderful legacies of PDP administration that they wouldn't allow us to rest. I know, one confused wailer must blame APC for this "wonderful achievement".

The federal should do the federal roads.

True talk. Well spoken l can remember when I passed through Taraba plus Adamawa . Forget Southern Nigeria is far ahead in development in almost all indices to Northern Nigeria

This is an eyesore! Aba is the worst zoo i ve ever seen .Over to Onikuje of Kuje prison. If the so called the most commercialized town of the yeast can be like this,then one wonders how their eldorado Biafra would be. The way the ojukwus develop other places one would think their towns would be better. Nonense chest beating buffoons.

man! stop talking Rubbish! did you witness the big fish removed? were you there when it happened? seriously stop! talking shiit!

Aba needs a total road overhauling. Every single road in Aba needs to be touched.


I believe Okezie will do justice to Aba roads with the level of work going on now on different roads.


The topic of this thread is wrong cos ohanku road doesn't lead directly to Aba stadium.......

we are all in shambles...

so a big fish was responsible for this sorry state of road?

Bro they may believe you but my stay in Abia state ,Aba to be precise. Why most road are not constructed in Aba and some eastern part of the country is spiritual.

Originalsly:
Hmmm....interesting. .. a fish was responsible for bad roads.....wonder if they're moving that fish around?

the guy mentality just baffle me.. chai so one big fish was responsible for this sorry state of road..
hmm too much of spiritual belief isn't good

No wonder enyimba has not been playing their home games @ thier stadium because of the sorry state of the road.This is an eyesore.The govt of abia state should do something about this road.

I actually schooled in Iheorji, no proper construction have been done on that road. forget blood

zionmade2:

U dnt really believe in spiritual if u do u wont tell mean dat.
We watched one die in ohanku during construction , we watched on die infront of our ladies. If u live aba go around d most notoriuos spots for burning thieves u will understand wat am saying

so what u ar saying also happend in other places? Eg: lagos

Is it not Abia State?? Home for dead infrastructures. From TA Orji to Ikpeazu every bad Governance was back 2 back.
