easterners are known very well for xmas travelling but obj and his allies are about changing the story.
for the first time in history they(xmas travellers) would have to wait because the roads are no longer encouraging.
on a normal day, travelling from lagos to east will take 3 days(please read; vanguard 22 nov 06) so think of xmas period.
unfortunately the air is no longer the safest means of travelling in nigeria.
it will be worthy to note that the oil from the east contributes 95% of nigeria's revenue yet no good roads.
there is an able efcc which have been combating corruption since inception and the lagos - benin - east expressway have been awarded as contracts by different ministers to different companies but till date no news.
all we hear on daily bases is , impeachment, privatization, banning this banning that. which way nigeria?

lol.i just find this funny so do not mind my reply."The best way forward is backward"

Chidi Chris,
the way Nigeria must go is forward.
The state of the roads is proof of governmental failure.
It is a pity that those of us travelling will find it difficult as a result of these. With the airlines an unsafe alternative the question becomes which way to go truly?
In another matter, PDP must go away!
