What are you up to ? you failed to understand the import of my message, contructing roads is not a straight line graph, you will have to bypass certain obstacles which will increase the overall distance unlike using a flight route which is rather straight.

You are not so smart to also believe that Fashola has constructed more roads surpassing the distance between Lagos to Abuja.


Don't change subject. A mile is a unit of measurement. If Jonathan 'boasts' of having done 25,000 miles of road, the obstacles and non-linearness of said roads is irrelevant. Jonathan produced the figure, not me or the APC! Your car has a gauge to measure the miles it traverses. How can that be so hard to understand?

Roads are not constructed based on nautical miles, because cars are not airborne vessels yet and nautical miles will measure the straightest path between points in the air following the curvature of the earth.

http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/science-questions/question79.htm
A nautical mile is 1,852 meters, or 1.852 kilometers. In the English measurement system, a nautical mile is 1.1508 miles, or 6,076 feet.

Will you shut up and stop chatting shiit, comparing distances via flight against topography influenced road construction is the height of foolishness.

Taking a chopper from Ikorodu to Badagry is pretty straight forward, now take you car on a trip and tell if the distance covered will be the same

I challenge you to also defend Fashola with the fact below .

Governor Fashola who spoke at the official commissioning of New Plants and Equipment of the Lagos State Public Works Corporation at Oba Ogunnusi Road, Isheri added that in the last three years, 251 new roads comprising 371 kilometres have been completed within Lagos.

He explained that currently another 44 roads that will provide 77 kilometres of new roads are under construction and would be concluded within the next six months.

Governor Fashola also said in addition to this, another 60 new roads that would add 129 kilometres are under construction and would be completed beyond the six months timeline.

http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/11/12/lagos-has-built-more-roads-than-ghana-sleone-%E2%80%94fashola/

Fashola has claimed he has constructed about 371 km and is hoping to increase it to about 577km. The catch here is that the flight distance between Lagos and Abuja = 536Km

For the doubting thomases; I did house job in Zaria and served in Bayelsa State after, I has been opportune and satisfied to use the following federal roads in the past 2 years.
1. Abuja to Abaji to Lokoja newly dualized lanes.
t This road is not complete and mind you, Jona didnt initiate it.


3. Kano to Maiduguri
Jonathan didnt touch that road. It's not a new road.
7. Okene new express road
I challenge you to tell me where this new road is. This road is so bad that I spent 4 hours in traffic last december.

Globacom submarine fibre optics cable is 10000km long between Alpha beach Lagos and bude beach London with landing stations in Ghana, Spain, morocco etc. This indicates that the actual direct distance (nautical or not) between Lagos and London is far less than 10000km.

25000km completed Road construction claim by FG is definitely not true.

Please when u construct an expressway of 4 diff lanes of 40km each (seperated by big gutters), please if u ve been to onitsha lately u will see that type of ziks roundabout to the bridge. please how many km of road was constructed? Am just curious oooh, is it 40km or 160km?

Mind u, that submarine fiber optics cable is on a single route unlike most express roads in naija which might consist of 4 to 6 diff roads on the same route. Assume in the case of electricity wiring on electric poles of 50km, how many km or cable will be used in the case of low tension wiring which consists mostly of 4 lines? If u can ans this correctly, then u will know how roads are measured.

How did Fashola achieve his SAN status with his naivity. The crow flight distance is different from topographical distances. Is the distance from Lagos to London not measured by flight time and speed which is basic physics ? In construction, there is something called Topography differential Mr. Property lawyer.


still. ...25,000km is still a lot...where are they...I think we should demand for a breakdown.

Even as a SAN, how does he measure those roads he builds I lagos state? This man truly knows what he is doing, trying to wash many people's brain and deceive them with lies which he has succeeded in doing, @least these nairaland dummies are a typical example of his target population. Cheers

Flight distance is more or less straight with no twists and turns. I mean just one straight line bro. You don enter plane before? The numerous roads within Lagos alone may even be longer than than the fight distance to London if calculated as one straight road.

Previously against you but u ve said where u are coming from

Earlier, the Minister of Works, Onolememen, said that the Phase I of the project was 75 km long and that Phase II suffered a setback because of funding and technical challenges. He said the project has, however, recorded over 60 percent completion, adding that 61 other roads have been completed across the country.

6. Enugu to Ebonyi to Calabar express
7. Okene new express road
*** there are so many Federal government maintained express roads in the North and middle belt.
I don't know the total distance done but I appreciate the quality of road done by this administration.

Onitsha-Owerris road is 80km, so 50 of such roads would have been built in the south east alone, there is no federally constructed highway in SE that runs up 80km without pot holes and cut-offs. In fact, Onitsha-Owerri Rd is the longest FG road in S/E that is in good condition. BTW, Benin to Shagamu is 350km-i.e 22 of such raids would have been built in South west and south south.

point of correction the double added lane on akpakpava which is 2nd down to dawson to ringroad to ugbowo to five juction including five juction roundabout was done by edo state government and not by gej more over the road was even done in yahadua administration not gej though the ugbowo asses was not completted by then due to the death of yahadua which was now been completed by gej, but the double lane expantion was done by osholemohle andd not federal government
