Show us video where Okorocha said that. Don’t come and wail on NL n don’t send me senseless website from Ipob, PDP n foolish Igbos.

Video where he shamelessly stated the quote.

See as you just wasted explanation. The person you were explaining to would not even understand half of the things you wrote

Fawklicant:
[s]Kindly read what you wrote there again. You don't have to try to sound smart.
For one, this is a country road. A road linking villages and a lot of times won't have drainage for the most part except select locations identified for flash floods.
Secondly, you only saw a section of the road and you are ranting about interchanges, direction boards, streetlights. Really? A road linking communities and you are talking about interchanges and streetlights?
Even though the op may have exaggerated a bit due to excitement, it still doesn't warrant the bile you spat up there[/s].

Abatvic:
With no proper drainage, it wont last. The durability won't even stand the flood.

CaptainFM1:
This technology is yet to put to the rigorous test by Danfo drivers, Dangote Heavy utility trucks and heavy fuel trucks. Don't conclude on its durability yet. And mind you, its not the first concrete/cement road in Nigeria.

Acidosis:
Road without storm water drain?

ibukunobi:
Dangote did a far better one in my Town, KABBA TO OBAJANA VIA LOKOJA ROAD.

Philinho:
PDP Govs doing wonders while APC Govs are paying salaries in percentage .Up Adeleke

tigerclaws:
did they consider friction during the rain because cement seems to be more slippery than tarred road


modify

Thanks to those that made it clearer to me

AdeMavrodi:
It started by dangote. Cement road is also on Obajana to Kabba road in Kogi state and it's constructed by Dangote construction. Pls note that it is an extremely expensive project not economically viable in Nigeria

So “country road” is supposed to be built anyhow? See the reason your post makes no sense that's why I cancelled it.

Even if he built a good country road, so? He is the governor! The one they pay tax to. The one with their Federal allocation! It's his job, why is it news worthy?

Fawklicant:


And your point is?

laplace19:

The practice is to use a lower water-cement ratio making the concrete mix a little stiff(and not slippery) with higher compressive strength (minimum of 30N/m^2) achieved.

Road without storm water drain?

Mailthaddeus:


It's not a must that all roads must have drains, especially in rural highway with low flood susceptibility. Even in the USA, such roads exists

flyca:
This road is not news worthy.

Fawklicant:


You shouldn't have opened it then. Besides, that wasn't my grind with you so don't deflect.

To the op, it's news so don't take it away from him. Izit your posting
People are learning from the thread already so chill Einstein.

It's a good idea but I have some reservations about it.
One is frictional drag on the vehicles. Frictional resistance on the tyres will be greater thereby slowing the car down considerably requiring the driver to apply more torque to move faster with increased fuel consumption as the attendant effect.

If it is coated with asphalt, then it would still be vulnerable to faults and cracks hence potholes would surface in no time. Though the depth of the potholes won't be as deep as using asphalt on compacted earth.

The wear on vehicle tires would be much more due to increased friction. Such technology as well as the use of interlock should be limited to inner city roads like streets and all because of durability. It's use on the highway and interstate however would have higher economic disadvantages especially on users as millions would be spent daily by users on car maintenance.

Just my humble opinion.

lexy2014:
oya explain what u read

flyca:

The caption was interesting. And I opened to see the details. Alas, death trap road. However, yhe more appalling thing seems to be the dumb skull defending it. # Pukes

flyca:
Jos lukat the nonzenz!
So this is what we are suppose to be celebrating in Nigeria OP! This road is death trap!

Any road less than 50km is not worth celebrating!

Any road less than 200meters width, with no corridors, no side walks, no streetlights, no interchanges, no highway direction boards, no road markings, no pavements, no drainge is not news worthy!

OP, This is 21st century. Building a road is no innovation. The internet is a very broad network consisting of millions of users within and outside your narrow brain range. Please stop disgracing us!

It's actually very easy for an empty barrel to make real noise because that all it knows how to do.

Every argument on this thread flies over your head because you can't contribute meaningfully...it's above your exposure level. Now you are trying to engage me on the news worthiness of an op's thread? Asides the news worthiness, please outline how the road is a death trap or kindly ignore me and move on.

Godyke:
The down side of this technology is that it causes tyres to wear out easily than normal tarred road. A friend who went there to work with his car came back complaining of how the road has been wearing out is tyres under short period of time
