No mind people though it is a necessary structure that should be there in the first place is there was adequate planning

My dear...a governor that's not performing comes in and start building fly overs here and there then his praises increases... fly over that'll be useless even in years to come

Is better to build overpass than to chop the money.

They have this belief that it is easily a reference point for the world to see what is on ground

Showoff

if these flyovers where built in Lagos , some people will not allow internet to rest , now that the governor of a much over looked state is building it we critics have woken up from their slumber

E be like say you no no Nigerians. From North to South, East to West we celebrate all the celebratables
When somebody gives birth, we celebrate. If somebody is giving birth to only boys, the day they have their first girl child they celebrate.
Wedding, death etc na celebration. It is same thing that propagate to governmental bodies: when government/governor/president sink borehole(s), celebration; when a bad road is graded (not tarred o), celebration; if governor or even house member gives sachet water to people, na dance party!

It has been observed that Nigerian governors love building overpasses .They are so obsessed about it .And after building it,they enjoy posting it online to receive accolades for good performance . I'm not sure who started the trend but it seems to have become a mainstay and prerequisite for what is considered development by Nigerians.
It's become so bad that even if a Nigerian governor fails in other areas , he or she would be venerated for building one or two overpasses and other vanity structures outside of the realm of government's obligation. With that said , The Nigerian governors and by extension the citizens have wrong perception of the purpose of an overpass. The truth is that most of Nigeria's towns do not need overpasses , all they need are wider roads and traffic signs . Overpasses are meant for like freeways ,especially around interchanges , which Nigeria has none of . Most of the Nigerian overpasses i've seen look so out of place . Perhaps only Abuja and Lagos and to some extent Onitsha expressway even look like freeways and would need a few .

I think wider roads would do than overpasses. A few overpasses would do where needed ,and when there's actually real freeways . Nigerian governors , Please stop embarrassing the world by building vanity structures that are outside government's obligation.

Overpasses are a necessary necessity.
Have you ever wonder why skyscrapers are being built? Skyscraper saves the land around you as you can build towards the sky with no limit. Creating wider roads consumes more land then overpasses safes you the headache.

In years to come, those places you don't see reason why there should be an overpasses would be in need of it. Population increases on the daily and so also vehicular movements. Better to prepare now and I think Lagos State should be a good example,they never expected traffic would ever look like what it is now.

How will a flyover built in the right place become useless?

well better late then never.. because of years and years of lack of development.

Rubbish, senselessness, cluelesnes, bitterness and jealousy is all I can see in this foolish post....

It is a subject of Nigerian society. Fortunately, governors of the states in Nigeria are integral part of the silly society. Circles would have been better suited for city transportation than flyovers however Nigerians are odd variables because they can never obey the rules. Do you think Nigerians understand who has the right-of-way when two vehicles approach intersection at the same time from different directions? Or do you think the society is disciplined enough to know? Have you wonder how some of the drivers were ever allowed to operate a motor vehicles?
