All I can say is Fashola is a failure.
If you see what Benin Abuja road currently looks like, you would pity for Nigerians.

And et this government approved the highest of Budget for ministry of works.

I wanted against Fashola being given any serious portfolio but no one agreed , this same Fashola couldn't complete a mere 35kms of Lekki Wow road in 8 years despite spending 35 billion naira and setting up a fraudulent toll gate on it ma d yet someone deemed it fit to give him federal roads ..Fashola is the fraudster that first started construction a km of road for 1 billion naira and today it's the norm with most state governors

Commuters and road users were stranded yesterday following a serious traffic gridlock after a portion of the Calabar/Ikom highway caved in at Iwuru, Biase LGA of Cross River state, cutting the road completely into two. A bus which was filled with passengers traveling - fell into to the sinkhole. The number of casualties is yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing this report.

Traffic was brought to a standstill after the incident as motorists devised alternative routes.

According to reports, the highway has remained a nightmare for motorists and commuters for years now, as they spend over five to six hours driving to Ikom from Calabar, instead of two or three hours due to bad road.

Two and half years,yet we cannot point out one single achievement of this government. The annoying part is that some fools will still blame Jonathan.This same fools will service their cars after three months and I wonder why don't they wait for their cars to break down just like Buhari is waiting for Nigeria to break down?

So the road was in excellent condition before fashola came in right? All Nigerian politicians are failure don't just point out fashola cuz if that road had been done by obj or GEJ it will still be good by now.

And we say we have leaders in this country, 2019 idiots would come out en masse to vote in crooks.

We deserve what we get, these useless leaders would divide the masses along religious, ethnic and tribal lines while in the centre, they unite and share the money, attend ceremonies together and sometimes make noise in the public like they are enemies(eg wike and ameachi) to make the supporters believe he enimity is there.

Lemme give you an example, if one million youths from every state plus the capital congregate in Abuja for a week, that's a figure of 37 million block the roads leading to Aso Rock demanding a complete restructuring of the country to make the it profitable, I bet you, Buhari and the national assembly must bow to pressure, but would never happen because of the sentimentalism, and tribalism in us.

If any group rise up to make any demonstration against the president even on national issues(eg his health grounds) some stupid northern mofos would jump on his defence. Some of them here say instead power would leave north, they are willing to vote him for the second time, and these are individuals hunger keeps ravaging day in day out.

This country would never get better under this current status quo, anybody telling you otherwise is
lieing
to your face

Very crazy set of losers (aka leaders). btw, it's lying, not 'lieing'. grin

In cases like this, some of the passengers will be like :

1. Did this happen because of the debt I owe the Oracle?

2. Oh! My pastor / babalawo was right.

3. So! These stubborn tenants want to end my life not to come and collect my Rent?

4. ..Because of these Ogbanje Amaka that I am running after that I would have ended my life.



In all these they will fail to understand that these are natural disasters preventable by good government

Nigeria keeps running in circles. Until we privatise all our highways, we'll keep constructing and reconstructing every 5 years. Nobody that plied the once beautiful Owerri-Onitsha road in 2012 will believe that road is so bad now that vehicles drive against traffic.

Do you know the meaning of sinkhole at all? The portion of the road had been eaten by erosion over the years. If sinkhole happen, it's in twinkle of an eye in a good ground. There has never a report of sinkhole in Nigeria.

Lalasticala should change the heading.
