Really. That's my home and I lived in GRA. The roads were not in that manner while Oshiomole was governor. Barely two years now I have been out of naija and I am shocked to see this.
Ehnnnn!
Obviously Osho didn't do d road.
Because if he did, the road couldn't have gone bad in 2yrs

It can only be due to mud used to construct the road or acidic rain that caused this damage??

Chai Osho rek dis pple no bi small

I THINK THE BLAME SHOULD GO TO EX-GOVERNOR LUCKY IGBENEDION FOR THE POOR FINANCIAL STATE OF EDO STATE COUPLED WITH THE LACK OF GOOD AND MOTORABLE ROAD NETWORK IN EDO STATE.

Lucky Igbenedion spent 8 years diverting the funds of Edo state to his father business dynasty.

Comrade Adams Oshiomole met a bad situation on ground.

Edo state was a promising state that was milked to finish by the IGBENEDION DYNASTY AND THEIR SYCOPHANTS.

Adams Oshiomole "installed" Obaseki to cover his tracks. Instead of Obaseki to ease lives for his citizens, he makes it harder with some funny laws. Trekking is now the norm of the day in Benin. Even old people trek. grin. You ban buses from parking in most places without creating adequate bus packs for the populace. There was a party (APC). There was a country!

Oshomole deliberately left the roads in GRA to rot, except for Airport road & very few other roads.
Most roads in that GRA need side drainage.

It amazes me how people think they can develop a place with no drainage network in place. Heaping investments for flood to damage.

It has been a common practice in Benin, virtually 80% of the street don't have drainage.

Obaseki is a disaster of a governor. I wonder why it hasn't come to the national fore. That man is just something else. When he came in, he concentrated on roads in GRA(so he said). I'm surprised the roads are this deplorable. Even the roads he manages to construct are an eyesore. Sometimes I wonder if these people don't have eyes. He saw the wonderful roads Oshiomhole constructed, but he decides to go below par. TV road as at the last time I visited was taking donkey years, I don't know if he has finally concluded the construction.

Benin city is the pride of Edo. Most economic activities takes place in Benin,the best these governors could do is make the state capital a beffiting place.
Aside IGR we all know how much loans the previous administration took but there is absolute nothing to show for it.
It's the duty of the government to fix roads not individuals,waiting for the residents of GRA to fix roads is no brainer.
There are billionaires in Lekki axis in Lagos but the government still fix the roads.

Vituperations and aspersions aside, If you were in Benin as at 2008 before Oshiomhole took over the reins of leadership, you won't come up with your initial hogwash. Edo state was an eyesore and I mean EYESORE! The roads Oshiomhole worked on are too much to mention that I can't even remember some. He touched all sectors of the state but like all Nigerian politicians, he had his shortcomings.

Government is continum and Obaseki is a disaster when compared to Oshiomhole. If Obaseki started the same way Oshio started, we would've been here to testify. The same roads you mentioned are still there, what has Obaseki done about them? I'm sure you know how 3rd was, how 2nd was, how 5 junction was, how tomline was, how Siluko was, how New benin-Lagos road was? They're too numerous to mention and you come here to say "it's just asphalt laying". See ehn, if you don't have anything meaningful to contribute to a topic, just lay low and observe instead of coming to mess yourself up in public glare.

And lastly, have you seen a street urchin as averse as I am? You're really intellectually inept my dear.

Exactly! There are so many roads worse than this throughout Nigeria, but because its Edo State, some wicked set of tribalists want to put this front page. Why not show the bad roads in other parts of Nigeria and put that front page. Whats so special about this.
An ordinary armed robbers that burgle houses and rob people throughout the 36 states, if it happens in the other 35 states they don't put it front page, but if it happens in Edo this wicked tribalists will paste it front page.

The kind of negative news about Edo that they put front page is too ordinary and is common across many states.
They just want to put a disporportinate amount of negative news about Edo.

Nigeria you are being divided anyhow by a wicked set of people and co-consipirators and Nigerian lackeys to the enemy

Brother, you are the first person i have see who do not like the less congested ring road. If i were him, I would even ban those lawless bus drivers who do not have a single regard for traffic laws and then instill the taxi system. At least now, obaseki no dey owe workers. Some other state workers never see eighteen months salary for eye.
