See proper roads in the pics below.

Notice how they all have LANE MARKINGS plus no potholes. Just video game type roads.

I wonder why roads like these are hard to build in Nigeria?

Why? Why? Why?

My dear, after visiting countries like the picture shown, where things work, I'm tempted to conclude that Black Africans are a different species from the common Homo sapiens. At best, maybe we are a sub-species of the Homo sapiens.

Summarily, I don't blame the whites that think we are less of a human being than them. Apparently, there's something in us that differentiates us from each other.

Hunku Fashola

Your head is not correct oh!

I guess we should create a thread where everyone should be asked to submit the pictures of the state of roads in their communities..

Nairaland should be a voice of the masses.
But I'm afraid, even Seun is afraid of the government..
.
He won't allow it

This Man is high on cheap weed.

It seems all this People , fashola, Tinubu etc are saying all this rubbish on purpose in other not kill their 2023 presidency hope.


Check this iyana iba road if it not bad,those coming from Alaba international, barracks down to first gate will testify.

You mean like China’s impressive roads? Bridges that cross mountains?

I hope you were not trying to say other developed countries have worse roads than us.

loud the volume abeg

This is the road that passes the front of Bida poly.
The contract has been awarded since 2007 or so while the work has been moving at snail speed. Now this ones are reawarding the contract for 58bn for a road of less than 50km overall. This politicians will not die well.

EliteStriker:

Dear respected Minister, Sir you have the floor.

how bad do you want the road to be.

He will still deny he ever said such.
Serious government providing stable electricity in 6 months was technically denied, so don't get worked up.
Minister of Agriculture said their was no hunger in the land, now this.
All I have for this current government is prayers. My prayer point is between me and God.

johnlvis:

Mad men in govt

SHIFT FOR ME MAKE I FELT.

Until he or one of his family members get crippled on one of the bad roads...

Very useless minister

The deception is becoming clearer by the day. 'Square peg in round hole' minister. His nature is the reason why he was comfortable legalizing and directing that, electricity consumers should purchase for electricity companies, the meters electricity companies will use to measure and dispense power to them. where else in the world does that happen? surely a sophisticated slowpoke. SAN indeed. Spits.

I had respect for Fashola but no more!

justtoodark:


you know nothing....their are very difficult roads in this world that will make you shitt your panties if you know,you have to cross them....

Did you see the recent list of nations wit bad roads in Africa? It made FP recently.

Contrary to general reports making the rounds that Nigerian roads are terrible and not motorable, the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has said that Nigerian roads are not as bad as people think.

The Details: Fashola made this statement after the Federal Executive Council meeting where the sum of N58.4 billion was endorsed for the construction of Bida-Sachi-Nupeko road and the Nupeko-Patigi Bridge across River Niger, linking Nupeko and Patigi in Niger and Kwara States.

According to the Minister, “The roads are not as bad as they are often portrayed. I know that this is going to be your headline, but the roads are not that bad.”

He highlighted the paucity of funds and topography as major setbacks that stalled the process of road construction. He said poor topography levels in the South-South which can be likened to water tables were the reason road construction was so difficult in the region.

Opposing Voices: Fashola’s statement did sit well with Ibrahim Usman, Chairman, Infrastructure Development Committee, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria responded that Nigerian roads were deathtraps.

“I think the minister is being economical with the truth. The roads are terrible. Take for instance the Biu to Gombe road that took one-and-a-half hours in the past to ply, now it takes four hours to get from Biu to Gombe. The luck we have is that Boko Haram has not stuck on that road.

“Another terrible road is the Damaturu-Biu road. That also takes four hours when in the past it took less than two hours. That was where military trucks and equipment were seized and taken into the bush by bandits some weeks back. At least if the roads are good, cars can move with speed but when the roads are terrible, movement is difficult and it is easy for robbers to attack.”

Usman even added that he now abandoned his vehicles at home since they were no longer fit for Nigerian roads.

Timothy Olawale, the Director-General, Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) presumed that the Minister was obviously not aware of the roads he was talking about. He singled out the Ibadan-Oyo-Ogbomoso road as one of the numerous examples that demonstrated the deplorable road condition in Nigeria. He also added the road between Asaba and Enugu as another worthy example.

“The huge craters along the Oyo-Ogbomoso road can swallow vehicles. These are roads that were manageable before but they have gone completely bad. People spend hours on that expressway because of tankers that fall into the craters.

“The sad thing is that the government is not doing any kind of palliative work on the roads,” Olawale said.

“To say that the road between Asaba and Enugu is bad is an understatement. I think the minister is not in touch with reality. He needs to speak with his road maintenance engineers and get information about the true situation of Nigerian roads,” he added.

make him condition be like Nigeria roads

Teewhy2:
I think when our politicians get to Abuja, they seems to lose touch with what is going on in the environment and begin to become the enemy of the people.
Is he saying these are the type of roads he drives on when he travels abroad.

Fashola is loosing it. Does he travel on Nigeria roads at all?

Is there any repercussions for saying this? Of course non. You now understand why he can talk anyhow. But the day of reckoning is coming

like this one is not alright...mr minister just pay a visit to my hood by road your body and car structure will never remain the same
