Fashola/PMB don't care about that road instead you have soldiers on road block every 1km collecting cash from the transporters plying the road under the dilapidated state of the road. No joy.

IntrovertedK:
do you know how many times SW governors repair/fix federal roads with state money? Few of the reasons they always owe salary down here. Your governors don't always have to wait for FG to fix everything, they should go ahead and fix it with state fund and hold FG for refund. It is easy to get such refund from FG than dragging them to your state to fix their own mess especially when you are in opposition. Your politicians are lazy and useless in SE.



Tell me how many states that fixed FG roads have been payed so far?

Let's leave emotions out of this. GEJ, with all his good intent for thenIgbis did absolutely nothing on that road


People like you are the reason Nigeria remains a shithole.
So if GEJ didn't fix it does it mean the current government should not fix it?

Whobedatte:
If you think an aboki bigot would fix the road , you are on a long thing ..
If your own GEJ couldn't do anything regarding the road for over 5 years , then he failed himself and his people .


Mentality like this is why we remain a shithole.

For those that have been following my comments here on NL, they would have noted that I have said that most Federal Roads in the South East is very bad. PH-Aba-Enugu road is bad, PH-Owerri Road is bad (IMO State Section), Onitsha-Enugu Road, Ihiala-Orlu Road, and so on.


FG hasnt refunded Rivers State up till date for fixing the Rivers part of PH-Owerri road. And some neophytes that know nothing are commenting rubbish here.

we usually move in our shuttle bus with the military escorts cus some expatriates move with us.


for security reasons they prefer that direct route through Oyigbo express straight up to Intels camp.
In terms of security, the road is safe. The route links areas that are urban.

Calabar Itu highway that year

Calabar - Itu is called Rolling Thunder. It is as if there is tectonic movement underneath the earth. Repair it, turn your back and it is in shambles again. That road has no solution.

You ain't gat no reasonable pictures to back up your claims and yet you want the world to take you serious?

You spent up to 3 hours on a road journey that should normally take nothing less than 40 minutes grumbling all the way but yet it never crossed your mind to take some pictures to show how terrible the road is.

Nigga, you dumb.

He is talking to people who know but choose to ignore it., the people who matter. If you don't know that road by now you don't need to know. We who travel across and traverse that region a lot know it.

The fact is that Aba-Portharcourt is a very difficult section due to to a number of things:
Traffic is immense.
Encroachment on the Right of Way by all manner of commercial activities degrades the road protection very quickly and the road itself mended several times over recent years collapses easily.
The ground conditions are poor and not well appreciated. The terrain in that section is the transition between forest region in most of the east and the mangroveto the south so there is a lot of sub soil movement. The quality of road construction normally done in the delta with regards to the sub-base protection should be extended all the way to Aba if the road is to last.

Meanwhile you are adviced if heading to Portharcourt to instead turn north and onto the Owerri road and link up the Expressway at Eleme junction through the great land of Etche.

But you guys are also forgetting Umuahia - Ikot Ekpene. Very soon that one will be reduced to a single lane. Try any decent speed on it and you are bound to come head on with a Dangote on your lane. Had three near misses in the last two years. Nigerian roads are fun.
Re: Aba - Port Harcourt Road, The Worst Road On Planet Earth by Silensa(m): 12:13pm On Dec 01, 2018
maybe, but you need to see Okigwe - Owerri road. then compare. while comparing you can take a detour to Enugu- Umuahia road. visit also Owerri -portharcourt road. in fact try and visit all federal road in the east.
then you can judge

Federal government road.

As failed as the Federal government under judrin.
Which roads did PDP construct during their tenure, you have to be fair with this govt, there are so many projects taking place now, it's a matter of time, that road will be constructed.

OP ABA road is still a learner cheesy

There is a place called ALAKIJA and IYANA IBA in lagos state.

In principle the distance between alakija and Iyana iba is 5 minutes,

However, in reality you will spend 5 hours on this journey on a "good day" and be only lucky to escape a whip from the khaki boys at Barracks (ojo cantoment)

Now listen carefully, there is no exaggeration in this statement. You would spend 5 hours for a 5 mins trip between ALAKIJA and IYANA IBA on a "good day".

Who no go no Know.....

And yes, that is part of what is called LBE - Lagos Badagry Expressway!

Remember the way FASHOLA said it? 10 Lanes and 2 light rails -- All for you!

Lagosians plying that road eat breakfast and dinner inside their vehicles - It is truly all for them.


OP to be honest with you, you are just making noise. The Lagos Badagry Expressway is the only road in the world that google map shows red line traffic with 45mins delay around 1.30 am in the morning. And yes people returning from work are yet to get home by that time and them go still comot that same morning to work, how person wan take last for this lagos.


The problem is that yoruba people are very one kind in nature.

There is another place called CELE and MILE 2 Along OSHODI - APAPA expressway.
My friend i recall in the days of GEJ, they protested bla bla bla about that road and floods at the 2nd rainbow axis....GEJ corrected that error.

But this people keep quite, dem no talk anything since BUHARI enter o.

Now from CELE TO MILE2 is actually 6 mins in principle. However, the road is good ooo, but yoruba people allowed that road to be turned to trailer park. Buses now ply oneway on the left flang.

And the grand finale .... HAHAHAHAHAH ...... MILE 2 TO LIVERPOOL TO APAPA......... This one no be road again ..... this is the new crude oil....

Uniform men stay openly ontop mile 2 bridge day collect like 15k before trailer go pass, the trailer pays, pass and go in to park on the expressway. That road is no longer a road but a park. Yoruba people no fit talk.

Thank you for the revelation.

I say Aba - Port Harcourt road is the worst road on this planet right now because it's just inconceivable that any other road could be worse that this one, the way is right now

I 'm sure anyone that has journeyed from Aba to Port Harcourt recently will bear me witness...it actually takes up to 3 hours these days to do a journey that should take about 40 mins!
