Silence seems to prevail in recent times amongst the critics of the deplorable state of Nigerian roads. Perhaps, ‘there is something ominous in silence’. People have cried, shouted and protested the lost of lives and property particularly on the federal roads still the situation is getting worse day-by-day

If top government officials travel by road often as the common Nigerians do, of course they would have done something on these roads the first day a crack appeared on any of them. But they and their families travel by air where greater safety exists and where each life lost or abused is accounted for. But roads such as Lagos-Binin road are mainly for the poor and less influential members of the public who are not only exposed to numerous dangers on the road but sometimes get to their respective destinations very late in the night. As they arrive late at their destinations they are exposed to further dangers owing to the highly flawed security system in most parts of the country. Silence may prevail in the present times but certainly one day the situation would be reversed and the officers of the state will be made to really account for their stewardships.
