Sanwo-Olu did not initiate the rails project.

He doesn't have to..
Besides... Sanwo Olu..initiated the Red line rail project which is longer than the blue line only the blue line was met at no less than 50% completed ..
Sanwo Olu also paid for the trains for the redline which are now in Lagos And 2 sets of electric trains for the blue line

The part he is constructing cost no less than 70bn..

The cost of wike's flyover combined will never match the cost of the blue line not to talk of combining it with the red line..

The economic impact.
Contribution to growth, development and ease in transportation can never match

No state governor's project beats sanwo olu's flagship project in just under 4 years..

Wike's flyover have little benefit and impact .they are merely to deceive naive and gullible folks..

Flyovers are something Lagos has been building since the 1970s..no big deal..
With all the flyovers Wike built plus the existing no. of flyovers he met.. the total is not up to the no. of flyovers in Lagos state

My bad I shouldn't have included calabar.

South east is almost same size as Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwaibom.

So I'm free to say Ibadan is almost the same size as Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwaibom

They are sleeping in Delta state. Ebonyi, Kaduna, Kano, without oil revenue, all have left Delta state behind

Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom is bigger than Ekiti, Osun and Ondo. I might even throw in Tiny Lagos to the mix. So I don't get your point.

Is Ibadan same as Oyo state??

Is the SWest bigger than SS in Size??

A better Nigeria all around is all we want at [/b].

God bless Wike.

God bless Rivers State.

Nigeria will be great in our lifetime whether the evil ones like it or not.

With the support you give to BOKO HARAM supporter like Buhari, Nigeria will never be great again.

I'm Bini and nothing on earth, I repeat it, nothing on earth will make me cast my vote for anyone from southwest at the national level of Nigeria's election.

The 2015 election exposed what no book of history will ever tell you about southern Nigeria. The Yorubas as a people has never voted any southern candidate completely who is not from their tribe.

Many of them will come here to try to prove me wrong but check the election results from 2007 to date. The result will show you that if Tinubu isn't on the ballot, they would vote another northern candidate against any other southern candidate. That is the fact.

So, how come they vote Jonathan in 2011? I think your brain is malfunctioning

Anyone who is futuristic will know the monorail was never a bad idea.

My brother it is too early to argue with anyone who supports APC.

Originalsly:
Just curious ... to anyone who knows that area..... from the photo the heavy traffic is going from left to right .... west to east... but the flyover is from south to north... with very light traffic. How would this flyover really help? .... because I can't see how it will reduce the west to east traffic. Can you explain?

I live in Portharcourt and I can tell you that 80% of the flyovers are useless. This particular one is the most useless among them. It leads to nowhere other than his (wike's) father's church. If you look at the picture very well you'd notice something else other than the irrelevance of the bridge on that spot. The flyover is like an elephant seating on a narrow lane. He merely used the flyover to chase out the Igbo traders at Ikoku to pave the way for one of his numerous supermarkets scattered all over.
Imagine having 8 flyovers on a straight road of not more than 10km. The traffic is still very much in Portharcourt because pple don't live on the flyovers, they will branch off to the minor roads at some point and this is where the real traffic is.
Udom, umahi and sanwo Olu are miles apart when it comes to pple oriented projects. Even ganduje's flyover is much more strategic and purposeful than all of Wike's bridges.

Sammy07:


You're the same as tobychrisx on twitter right?

Naaaaa

2007 presidential elections had the major candidates from the North so, we can conveniently excuse that one.

However, for 2011 the major candidates were Goodluck Jonathan (PDP) & Muhammadu Buhari (CPC) In that election, the Southwest cast a combined vote of 2.78m for PDP, while CPC got a total 321,618. Nuhu Ribadu of then ACN got a bloc vote of 1.36m from the region. Voter turnout for entire southwest was 32.9%.

In 2015, PDP which fielded Jonathan garnered a total votes of approx. 1.8m from Southwest while APC (Buhari) received 2.4m votes approx.

Now, your comment states that "...Yorubas as a people has never voted any southern candidate completely who is not from their tribe" & my question to you is since 2007, how many Yoruba politicians of note were on the ballot? And for the southsouth which you so boldly claim; since 2007, how many votes did you guys cast for presidential candidates who were not from your region?

It's a known fact that Yorubas vehemently rejected Obasanjo in the 1999 & 2003 presidential polls so much that during the latter, he'd to cut deals with Afenifere & then AD (or was it already AC then) to support his candidature; that was the election that launched Tinubu to prominence as he was able to see through Baba's deception as he was the only one among Southwest governors that survived PDP's political onslaught.

You are within your rights to not support a Yoruba presidential candidate but do so without casting aspersions on an entire ethnic group as what you accused the Yorubas of may also be said of your Bini people as well.

Cheers.

God please forgive this bitter soul. Do not pay him according to his cruel heart. Whoever that sees good efforts occasioned by you and condemns it is in satanic league. But this one needs forgiveness for he speaks out of frustration.
This Flyover alleviates the perennial traffic jam witnessed at the Ikoku junction that motorists avoided like a leprous junction.
Go to your state you won't go. Your business is to criticize efforts made by others .

Wike is another useless niger delta crook. What is the role of all these useless flyovers in ph. He just started constructing them during his second tenure cos he wanted the presidency. The worst is that the flyovers are just a waste of resources. Those are the least of things thT ph needs right now

Senseless post. If this is true, why did he flag off more after he already lost the presidential primaries.

Ask those who live in the City to tell you the impact of the flyovers

The bolded is issue with Nigeria. Lagos has been building flyovers since the 70s as what na? Federal Capital abi. You have seen PH that has not been building flyovers since 70s The one in Mile 1 was built yesterday. The one Ambode/Sanwo-Owu built at Pen Cinema is fly-under

Cities and Town build infrastructures according to their development rate and accessible funds but since it is in PH and not Lagos, you have found it convenient to make rubbish of it. I'm very sure you will have been happy if they weren't built so you can grin and say PH lacks basic infrastructure as flyovers.

Deceit will kill you one day.

If you're moving about with your leg or public transport (which is not a bad thing) you may not appreciate the flyovers.

I moved from Zenith bank Rumuola road to tank junction in 8 minutes. That journey would have taken 30-45 minutes in the past. I would have used more fuel, put more wear and tear on the engine and spent productive time on the road

You say having 8 flyovers on Aba road is useless. My brother you are very wrong. Look at what is happening at First bank Junction along the same Aba road. The hold up sometimes starts from that junction down to Rivers state government ICT centre opposite pleasure Park. This is because the volume of vehicles coming from Rumuola and the Volume coming from Artillery is too much for that junction. If he had constructed another flyover there, you would have thought it was useless. However, it would have prevented the gridlock sometimes experienced at that place. Hopefully the incoming governor will put another one there.

Now let's talk of people oriented projects. Is the law school a people oriented project? How about the campuses of Rivers state University he built in remote areas to bring developments to those places? The Dr. ODILI cancer center nko? Is it people oriented?

You see if you remove your bias, you can easily see that Wike has done tremendously well.

the one way bridge all in Obio akpor and phalga local governments wihout employment, no pension , no scholarship, no human development scheme. wike is as crooked as tinubu no difference .two touts despirate for power
