Bad govt bad roads and infrastructures

I plied this route during my NYSC days in the late 90's on my way to Kebbi State
It wasn't as this bad then.

Authorities concerned should go back to work on this road asap.

Ymodulus:
8hours of pain, 480mins of suffering, 28,800 seconds of sorrow.

I do not belief in the existence of Hell fire as religionist paints it. However I must say that if there is anything more hotter than fairy tale Hell fire, then it is the JEBBA - MOKWA ROAD from Kwara to Niger STATE. And I have been there. 22:09 Military Time, 10:09 local time, Sunday 19th of October 2014. From a cold mild beautiful sunset to a boring, regretful day. From happiness to sadness, joy go sorrow. This has been my ordeal as I ply the road heading from Lagos Down to the North via the Jebba - Mokwa Road.
Before I go on , I am Ymodulus, some call me psycho but you can call me the Man who is on the road to Hell and is yet to be out.


JEBBA Experience
I got to JEBBA around 1:49 Pm, I was excited on hearing from the driver that we are on the JEBBA - Mokwa road. Reason for my excitements are not far-fetched. 1 for the fact that I felt I was close to my final destination and secondly I have always reamt of seeing how beautiful thing road I as Paine by the Minister of Works on an AIT Raypower Show called Political Platform. Note that am an addict listener of the radio show political platform on radio fequency dial of raypower 100.5 Hz abuja. And the issue of federal roads have been one Amaechi Anakwe, has been really hitting on. He has interviewed the Minister of Works in person of Mike Onolememe an in all interview, he has been speaking wonders of major road along the federation like the Benin - Ore , Lagos - Ibadan, Kogi - lokoja, JEBBA - Mokwa road. Am not here to tell you about the kogi lokoja road, no am here to talk about the JEBBA - Mokwa road.

1. I can vividly recall The minister of Works saying the JEBBA - Mokwa road has been awards and its [size=18pt]80%[/size] near completion. This I heard with my 2 ears not that I was told, no. I heard it from the Minister mouth my self. I was happy and felt the Minister is working but to my greatest surprise today cleared my eyes. All the figures or percentage quoted by the Minister are all false. I am on the Jebba- Mokwa as at this Time of posting making it roughly 8-9hours all because of the Poor state of the road. What I saw with my eyes I asked if the contract the Minister said was awarded is spiritual rather than physical.
2.I cant categorically say I have seen the best of the best roads in Nigeria, I have been to 33 states in the federation this year alone and I can Boldly and categorically tell you that what I know for sure is I have seen the worst Road in Nigeria.


Acts of the Law enforcement Bodies.
If you ask me anyday i will say only Police fficers collects Bribe. But today i learnt that even the Army do, but in a big way (N500). Federal Road Safety workers all sitting and laughing eating Pop Corn and one stupid fellow asking for Bottle water from the driver. Local Vigilantes men asking for N50 or any form of tip. Boys on the road repairing the road blocking it until the driver drops some form of bribe. Let me not deviate as the acts of the law enforcement agencies are not my reason for writing this, but the state of the road and the lies been heralded by the Minister.


Solution Available
Drivers are going back to follow a place call Jaji. Now at Jaji they will pay some ferry me sum of N1000, after which they drive the vehicle on top of the ferry and the ferry will cross the water to the other end of the river bank and journey continues.

Lastly
I have vowed never to ply the JEBBA - Mokwa Road again in my life time. I will rather revert to the former option (flight). Its easier and no stress. Just that these days Aero airlines are acting funny. Increasing ticket fare from 25k to 36k on the queue not on their website.

Pardon me I can't write in full as am on my Mobile phone. Also forgive me of all grammatical errors as I can't screen proof at this moment. Below are some pictures I took before my phone was seized by a military officer and he deleted some photos off. I learnt a lesson never bring out your phone close to the military Dogs they are beast. Right now am at the JEBBA federal electricity generation Plant. All cars brought to a halt.
I will have to stop here my battery is 6% and the Xiaomi power bank given to me by Initialize is dead. It proved it worth today. Here are some photos. Am to upload 30photos but if they are not up to 30. Kindly know that my phone is dead. And till I get to my destination, may be Tomorrow or next I will upload more and if you hear no more from me. Then know that I died on the JEBBA - Mokwa road

everything u just experienced i did experienced it last year august, was travelling from kwara to abuja through this same road. it was an unpleasant experience

Hadizy:
Hmmmm. Am seeing things. You know if she sees this you in soup.

The road in my opinion is not as bad as the Kogi -okene lokoja road. That's the worst road ever. I followed there during the raining season and it was something else.

this girl u sabi naija roads. but i think that okene-lokoja road is bad during the rainy season. but that mokwa road na hell fire o

My God! You are a comedian I swear. Your mimickery of the Hausa accent was so on point. A gaisheka Dan uwa. Ina ka tashi a arewa halan?

OP I believe your question is rhetorical. Even those who awarded the contract don't know where the contractors are!.

Bear with me on the picture quality, had to over resize so the network can upload

That is monkey tail. We call it Mokite in Warri.

You should have traveled by air my dear or is the place not connected by flight? Why would anyone subject themselves to such a horrible and tortuous land voyage?
Please life has no duplicate.

PresidentT:
Bro! This ur headline brought unpleasant memories. March 7th 2013 I was on that road. I'd left Paiko en route Minna- Bida-Mokwa-Jebba to Ilorin. I wept! I lost two tyres! My AC compressor got spoilt. Engine seats gone! I was at the mercy of those trucks and the sahara-like sand dunes! Worse still no fictional ATM on that road!
Honestly that road is the worst anyone can ever drive on! Is simply a nightmare!

pratically a bad .. day

yes na . ur dp deceive me

I ply that route very often as far back 2006, when I leave minna by 6am, I arrive lagos by 3pm because then the roads were rehabilitated and in good shape. The money obj spent of road rehabilitation, the jebba mokwa route was a beneficiary. But over the years due to lack of maintenance, coupled with the fact the route is frequented by tank drivers and trailers, the quality of the road depreciated, gets worse during the rainy season.

Jebba to mokwa is better now but jebba to illorin is very very terrible.

Fresh Air!
