Nwanne, i am currently in Nigeria and just about 10 days ago i traveled from Enugu through that road on my way to Lagos. Remember, before RCC started work on the road, people were driving from 9th Mile through old road to Awka; or from Four corner(Ozalla) to Awka and Awka through Nawfia -Abagana-Ogidi- Nkpor. RCC repaired one lane slightly, so that drivers could stop driving through the old on their way to Enugu or Awka. Major reconstruction is on the closed lane on the right where RCC is laying fresh asphalt and new drainage. RCC was awarded section 2 of the road, 9th Mile - Amansea. 9th Mile - Enugu is awarded to a company called CCC, but apart from little repairs around Milken Hill, the company is yet to mobilize fully to site. Awka- Ogbunike section is given to another company, but the details are sketchy.

kITATITA:
You can jump into Ekulu River for all I care. I don't have to prove my Igbo identity to you.
Let me tell you how politics is played. Obviously IPOB is popular in Igboland but not influential. IPOB can't influence anything. IPOB is not Arewa Youths, nor IYC nor MEND, nor Avengers; not even OPC. These are influential organizations; some of them sinister but influential. Ndigbo play politics of sentiments and popularity and not influence. On April 30, 2015, Ken Nnamni led a group of Igbo leaders to a closed door meeting with PMB. No press statement afterwards and no communique but the visitors came out fulfilled. Subsequent to the visit, the second Niger Bridge, Enugu -Onitsha Road, etc were accommodated in the 2016 budget. This year Mr. Nnamani led a group of Igbo politicians into APC. That is horse-trading. That is Politics. That is influence. He didn't have to curse or abuse or wish Buhari dead.

Eledan:


Are you sure you are Igbo ?
They don't talk like this, you've been able to detach unnecessary sentiments.

kITATITA:


We (Igbo) should talk like that. Tinubu is not in government but he influences the direction of governance. Ike Ekweremadu is Deputy Senate President; but is he as influential as Akpabio. How much Constituency Project did he influence to Igboland. In Obasanjo tenure, we had Ngozi, Ezekwesili, Soludo, Akunyili, Chidoka, Kema Chikwe, Earnest Ndukwe, etc. They couldn't influence anything, not even road or good project to the Igbo. They can't even drive home in a sedan. Show me any Federal Government project since 1999 and I will stop supporting Buhari.

betterABIAstate:
my view is not political but from the social point of view, weather its GEJ or buhari, I don't care. Nigeria is Nigeria

modath:

No matter how much Peter Obi, Arthur Eze & co try to rewrite history, IB didn't do nothing for Eastern Nigeria, bar enriching some VERY few....


Illegal economy destabilizing import waivers and over bloated contracts awarded to political cronies don't have trickle down effect on the lives of regular average Okoro & Ada so what was the fuss all about?

Bolustic:
Oya Our Brothers,

Come and say:

It's a lie,

It's GEJ's project,

Only Zombie will believe this

Photoshop

GEJ and you guys should bury your heads in shame.

At least, you should be grateful to the Afonjas who supported the government who deems it fit to construct what your hero couldn't give.

Goke7:


lies, it is ignorant fellows who hate each other, there is nothing like hate among the elites in Nigeria in respect of their tribe or religion bruv.

Goke7:


that is if APC do 16 years like PDP. No cheating

TonyeBarcanista:
Lol ko serious niyen. So I go wait till another 12-14 years?

wristbangle:


Answers to your illusion;

1. Get some questionnaires about OBJ regime, travel to Abeokuta, distribute it to people and analyse the response you will get from it.

2. We don't hate Igbos as you should know we accommodate every tribe in Nigeria including yours which is more. Bringing the IB hero was because he failed to carry out a tangible project in your region.

3. Show me


4. We respect your votes but do you respect ours?

EmeeNaka:
APC liars and cankerworms.
Can anything truthful come out of their minds?
Please someone should confirm before accepting this terrorism inspired lie.

Nightshift:
I am not going to insult you at all. You could be a kid brother to me. You wrote "portion completed" and i took you down by naming the areas previously done which is less than 50% of the Anambra state section of the road. But you can go on to twist facts in your mind but not that of thousands of fellow Ndi Igbo who ply the road everyday. I know that what matters to you is to belittle the huge efforts being made by the present FG on that road.

Yyeske:
Was the Onitsha and Awka end of the road fixed by GEJ or PDP? Give kudos when due, it takes nothing from you.

For those who don't know, that part of the road was fixed by the Anambra state government and hasn't been reimbursed yet by the federal government.

Nightshift:
Shut it please, you are making a big fool of yourself here already!

Yyeske:
Who fixed those portions you're talking about? Was it GEJ, PDP or Anambra state government?

NgeneUkwenu:
You go fear Jab

stonemasonn:
I hope the road is well constructed..

muykem:
why wailers are avoiding this trend?

shamecurls:



You need to start eating well......


Avoid fatty foods, it congest the skull and deplete brain functions.

sleekdre:

Sharrap there!!! Was GEJ not working on roads in the north during his term.

obailala:
This sounds good, fingers crossed, a significant percentage of the road (or even 100%) would be completed in good time.

Whynotthetruth:


1)If I don't need questionnaire to know SW opinion on Jonathan...why should I require one to ascertain their opinion on OBJ? That discrepancy or different yardstick for same folks will tell you about the bigotry I am talking about...

2)SW hate and Envy Igbo...Fayose was insulted beyond words for recognizing SE technical & entrepreneurial prowess and daring to send SW youths there as apprentice...Your accommodation of different tribes is an illusion. STOP THE LIES. Lagos has different tribes because of its political and economic history which has NOTHING to do with your tribe's hospitality but Nigeria's leadership and her political decisions. Igbo sojourn alot not just in SW but all over Africa and the world at large just like Chinese. Ogun is experiencing what we call economics of scale... NOTHING to do with your hospitality or docility. The litany of hate speeches from SW leaders and technocrats against Igbo is a testament to your "love" and this is confirmed by articles from renowned northern writers including Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Junaid Mohammed, Umar Ardo etc...And who made you their representative? If Jonathan failed to carry out any project there, How's it your headache? But to me as an Igbo man, Jonathan gave SE more voice and identity than any government in the history of Nigeria since 1966.

3)...Taking into account the electoral behaviour of the South-West since independence, the zone has proven
itself, without exception, of incapable of voting anyone other than its own. In the 1st Republic, it voted mainly Action Group in favour of Chief Obafemi Awolowo with about 69% voters’ turnout. In the 2nd Republic, it voted 78.75% of its total votes cast for UPN in favour of Chief Awolowo, with 70% voters’ turnout. In the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the pattern was repeated more or less the same, except that the total percentage of SDP’s votes in favour of Chief MKO Abiola rose up to 84.5% in the zone. In the 1999 presidential election, mainly because the only two candidates for the presidency were both from the South-West, the zone’s voters’ turnout
was abysmally low (48.09%) with about 68% of the votes cast to APP in favour of Chief Olu Falaye. 2003 also recorded poor voters’ turnout with 71% of votes cast for Obasanjo’s PDP. In 2011, with no Southwestern candidate fielded by any of the major parties, the South-West voted PDP when a functional alliance with the CPC failed to field in Sen. Tinubu or his nominee. Besides, with the vicious experience of AD in 2003 when the PDP
Federal Government uprooted its governments in five states of the zone, the South-West cannot now afford to risk having an opposition PDP government at the federal level again; certainly not after the hard pains
and toils of forming the APC. It is therefore existential for the South-West to vote APC at the presidential election....2015, Osibanjo came Now, compare this to the Republican nature of SE

4) Really? Remember, lagoon statement? Remember your secession opinion? Remember your Igbo presidency opinion? So which way starting from this thread have you and other SW folks respected SE votes Now, drop similar incidents from SE or her leaders against SW Am waiting because facts and evidence don't lie

let me be sincere with you, if bubu can construct Onitsha-enugu road, enugu-aba-port Harcourt, 9thmile-makurdi, umuahia-ikot epene and aba-ikotepene road, mark my words. I will personally vote him in and upload my voters sheet on nairaland, why again will I vote any other person?
I'm not interested in this segregationism and party rubbish.
