Are you daft or are you just trying?
This road is not news worthy! If it's a village road, then that gives the governor right to build it anyhow? No side parking pavements, no railings, no streetlights, no markings because it's a village road? You guys are just annoying! So why bring “a village road” to NL to celebrate?

Even if the governor wants let him build with his spit! It's his job as the governor. We cannot be celebrating road as achievement in 21st century. Get sense or get out! You and that Fawklicant!

ehnnn...i wouldnt fight nature....its too expensive.....

1miccza:


Might not be as expensive as you think , besides i feel it should have been factored into the original plan, but i think it's in the plan and will happen eventually. That Governor Is the real MVP..

bantudra:


you have to manage what you have and do the best possible out of it....

1miccza:


You are spot on there and if i might add and achieve the best with the little resources at your disposal..

So this is what we are supposed to be celebrating in Nigeria OP! This road is death trap!

Any road less than 50km is not worth celebrating!

Any road less than 200meters width, with no corridors, no side walks, no streetlights, no interchanges, no highway direction boards, no road markings, no pavements, no drainge is not news worthy!

OP, This is 21st century. Building a road is no innovation. The internet is a very broad network consisting of millions of users within and outside your narrow brain range. Please stop disgracing us!

If I go through your post right now I will see where you are celebrating Aregbesola modulated salary.

The practice is to use a lower water-cement ratio making the concrete mix a little stiff(and not slippery) with higher compressive strength (minimum of 30N/m^2) achieved.

Trump101:
Ebonyi state Governor, His Excellency, Engr. Dr. David Umahi, who has carved an exceptional niche for himself as an engineer by profession has successfully introduced what may be largely adjudged as the most DURABLE ROAD anywhere in Africa; called the CEMENT TECHNOLOGY ROAD construction.

This type of road built with cement, concrete and other materials is the very best in road construction, and its durability and warranty is meant to last as long as 50 to 60 years according to many renowned construction and engineering firms.

As you can see from the image, this type of road network with cement technology has been constructed across the 13 local govt of the state by Gov. Umahi's administration.

The roads are DURABLE, weather friendly, and highly qualitative.

Many state governors, including most of the governors of those reading and viewing the genius and signature road construction of Gov. Umahi in Ebonyi state can't boast of this type of quality roads in their state.

You don't need to doubt this or see it as propaganda, or blowing the whistle. Simply visit the new and very beautiful Ebonyi state and see things for yourself. Gov. Umahi don't do shit, he gives concrete RESULTS, and delivers on promises.

Can your Governor do this?

I doubt!

this is why naira land is still relevant today because of pple like you. Intelligent comment... Hat off my head for you.

To the best of my knowledge, i know those soils in the east are liable to erosion , so i feel if there aren't any channels for water to flow off, it will eventually eat into the road but not to worry @okenwaa has cleared my doubts already..

KunAviero:
Yeah, President Buhari was talking with Dangote about building roads with concrete some years back. I wonder what happened to those talks.

okenwaa:


Bro nothing will eat into the road....it'll be asphalted...

Don't u even know that the more it rains on it,the stronger it becomes....that's why you pour water on any German floor when laying the foundation of a house.

That of Nigercem has been like d@ for years and is still getting stronger as the years goes by.

I don't even know whether you're arguing about the soil in the east or the good road.

Wise governor

1miccza:



No one is arguing, i was only trying to point out why we might need drainages no matter how small and if you had read the quoted tweet, you'll realize where i said you cleared my doubts, that road there is what we call INNOVATION no leader has thought out of the box in Nigeria so far..

Trump101:
I can't agree less sir. Gov. Umahi is a genius. He has repositioned Ebonyi state and we owe him all the love, support and solidarity.

okenwaa:


Aiit...sure.

But why we must need drainages ain't cus the road will spoil or smtin, just to avoid the road turning into a swimming pool during the rainy season. Apart 4rm d@,.,.nothing will happen to the road.

TimeMachine:


You dey mind them ?

But the technology is good, but the governor is supposed to do a better job. Drainage is needed, and all he needed was to replace butimen with cement and construct a nice road with gutter. But he bleeped up in attempt to show the 'thickness' of the cement to justify his inflated budget.

I love politicians, because they can lie, and steal without being jailed. I will like my kids to be politicians, but for me, my destiny is to have politicians in my pocket.

tigerclaws:
did they consider friction during the rain because cement seems to be more slippery than tarred road


modify

Thanks to those that made it clearer to me

dochenaj:
Except the road project is uncompleted, I think it is risky to leave the edges of the road that sharp and high. The road should taper down on both sides.
While the thickness of the road is admirable, I am not an engineer so I wouldn't know how durable this alternative is to the regular coal tar.

Humbleiyke:

Oga please speak English that we can understand, we are not in physic class!

Naijazeus:
Saw the road in Eda and I was full of praises for the governor. The thickness of the road alone will keep your mouth wide open.

Thumps up for the governor.
