Passed this road last around 2003, it used to be a beauty to behold. Our maintenance culture is zero, from the federal, state and local governments, they've all failed Nigerians.

We have a constitution that has outlined how the accountability would work. Instead of shouting big words how about going and holding the people with state monies to account?

One of the worst roads in Nigeria.
There is a saying in akwa ibom "once you meet any pot hole on the road as you are travelling eastwards from akwa ibom, know that you are in south east."

Thank you for this thread. Wait for my narration...

This happened opposite Ndume Otuka secondary school, along this so-called ikot Ekpene road.

Due to the poor state of the road, I stayed away from Keke-napep and boarded a bus.

As the driver was moving, swerving through the swampy pool that has become the road.

Then it happened. I watched as the Keke in front slowly tilted to one side, and in a second, it got submerged, both driver and passengers, drank a mouthful, and I happened to witness it all from my front seat.

The occupants, two big boys, and ajebutter girl. They all crawled out from the Keke, covered in mud as people gather to witness the situation.

Thanks to some able-bodied men, the Keke was dragged out, but the day have been ruined.

Imagine one that starched his shirt, and the other was draining water from his bag. Documents ruined.

Ikpeazu is yet to finish Abia state...

This is one of the reasons why restructure Nigeria would lead to better development for Nigerians.
In a restructured Nigeria, the FGN would have no business with road construction.
The governments of Akwa ibom and Abịa States would be responsible for the construction of the roads linking their 2 States.
And if they fail the people can hold them accountable, after all government house is not far, unlike Aso rock.
