Elipsis:
Are you serious? Even in developed countries, they celebrate the construction of meaningful projects.

We are not talking about digging boreholes or painting classrooms. We are talking about 3 flyovers located in very strategic areas of Port Harcourt, and you don't want people to celebrate it.

What exactly is your problem?
that guy get point sha, i dont think by this time we should be celebrating flyovers. How man go do na the situations we find ourselves

You are here talking rubbish.

We in Rivers know wike cannot compete with Amaechis projects.

Nonsense
As a rivers man is it not a welcome innovation. Whether built by Ameachi or Wike, it is for Rivers state and Nigeria at large...

That rumuokoro junction really needs a flyover

In all honesty it does not, when I was PH, passing there at night (2300 - 0200HRS) made me realise how spacious that junction is.

The traffic there is ALWAYS caused by traders and taxi drivers taking over 2 or more lanes in any direction from that roundabout.

Rumuokoro never needed a roundabout, this is just a facade for the governor to extort state funds for his private use via awarding contracts.

What Rumuokoro junction needs is strict traffic management and regulation of roadside trading. Even the governor knows this, but hey it's free money. Nobody says no to free money.

At the end it would be a fucking single lane flyover like the rubbish Odili built at CFC, and Rumuola

The silver lining hear is that the job is contracted to Julius Berger and they will do a quality job (single lane flyover, but still good quality), unlike the fraudulent contractors Rochas uses in IMO state.

I sometimes shiver at the stupidity that some of you generously and opulently exhibit.

Did Amaechi build roads with his money?

Is Wike building roads with his money?

What is this absurd mentality of comparing present and past leaders who should rightfully work for the people?

You think this is some sports where you get to pick teams and mock your opponents?

Daily, governors siphon billions meant for those that elect them. And the docile electorates are taking the sides of their master's and arguing over who they were the biggest slaves to.

What a shame!

Trans Kalabari road isn't the most necessary right now. Moreover, Trans Kalabari road is plied by Kalabari people returning home to festivities in Kalabariland whereas this road will serve interstate commuters drawn from almost allover the country.

If you leave in Port Harcourt,you will know, it's a very good development.

Rumuokoro does not need a flyover. It needs

1. Strict traffic enforcement i.e. stop commercial vehicles from stopping, parking and picking passengers in that area.

2. Anti street trading enforcement. Those traders that place their tables to occupy one full lane should be moved into the markets.

The roundabout is big enough to take any volume of traffic you throw at it! Even if you construct a flyover, as long as the two points stated above remains, rumuokoro traffic will remain a nightmare to Port Harcourt drivers.

i wonder what you think the people and traders in rumokoro really need right now in respect of the congested major road. Our government makes it look like putting all things in place in the country is within their caprice and we can do little or less about it. Nigeria is not a developed country. It is still the celebration of fly over era in Nigeria.

There is a reason our educational system is messed up and it is to ensure a steady supply of idíots who do not know their left from right. Ignore the bassstard.

What if I told you the traders at rumuokoro WANT the area to be always congested? They believe they make more sales when people are stuck in traffic than driving away to their destinations.

Rumuokoro needs flyover. The only flyover Wike is building that I find strange and unnecessary is Garrison. There is a rail flyover at Oroworukwo less than 300 meters on one side and another flyover at CFC less than 800 meters on the other side and finally it is a T-junction. The solution to the traffic is simply closing the roundabout as done by Amaechi in the past.

If you have been to Rivers State and drive or have entered a public transport to these three locations, you will appreciate the need for the flyover, I said this to some friends some years ago, the only means to ease traffic congestion in heavily travelled roundabout is a flyover.
Way to go governor.

I agree with you.

I think it is only an Artillery that is in urgent need of a flyover.

Traffic gridlock has reduced at Rumuokoro since the completions of SARS Road/New Airport Road/Obiri Kwere....networks coupled with the recent enforcement of the anti-street trading rule.

The Garrison Flyover sincerely is a waste of resources.
