You're the same as tobychrisx on twitter right?

Flyovers are for today and tommorw. It will cost three time the amount used today to build same tommorw. The need for it tommorw will also be more tomorrow than today. The flyovers will inspire change in development plans of the areas.

You see well but this is the Diobu area of PH. This area is like the Ajegunle of Lagos.

Brown roof everywhere.

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.

Mr Bini man, either you vote a Yoruba man or not it's your problem.

Either you vote a Yoruba man or not doesn't stop development of South West.
It doesn't stop Lagos Ibadan expressway
It doesn't stop Abeokuta Lagos expressway
It doesn't stop Ibadan - ogbomosho - ilorin expressway
It doesn't stop Ibadan - Ife expressway
It doesn't stop Lagos Ibadan modern rail way
It doesn't stop seaport in Lagos, OGUN and Ibadan
It doesn't stop metrol rail in Lagos Which is been extended to Ogun.
It doesn't stop OGUN being the industrial hub of Nigeria
It stop Lagos being the commercial center of Nigeria
It doesn't stop a Yoruba man being either president, Vice or Senate or speaker every four years.

It doesn't mean a Benin man will have that in the next 100yrs
It doesn't mean you guys won't be flying in the night.

Very dirty backward state that can only be comparable to Osun

You don't stay in ph so you won't understand. Ask any other person staying in ph and let them defend the ikoku, rumuokwuta, location bridges and even the essence of the one way flyover in rumuokoro, garrison and waterlines. There is a bridge in pepperoni and another one at location. These bridges cost billions and they Re very unnecessary

Itsrm:


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 most useless flyover in Portharcourt

Good development in our state of residence.

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

God bless Wike.

God bless Rivers State.

[b]God bless Nigeria.

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

We Rise.

Shut up

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?

The traffic on that axis is heaviest on the east _ west axis called Ikwerre road, however the also busy south to north end which is blocked upfront appears light at the moment due to the current dualization of the north end of the road.

lomprico:


Onne port and omagwa airport nko?

Is it functional like Apapa let’s not even talk about the new lekki deep sea port or the airport functioning half as MMA ?

Itsrm:


It will make more sense with the expansion of Iloabuchi Road. People going into Agip or Eagle Island can use that route decongesting GRA, Sanni Abacha and environ.

Iloabuchi and Azikwe roads are currently being dualization...construction is almost 65% complete

Sammy07:


Ah, why?

We are in comparison mode.

After that compare the 6 states in SWest with Niger and Borno states. I think we should get a better perspective by then.

Chekwume16:
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

You're not Rivers state based yet you know what Rivers people need more than them....funny folks.

Let's start with where you're currently so we can compare notes..

obembet:


Which road jam-packed?

Oh is that why PHC have 8 flyovers on a single road

10 ohhh ABA road if u factor eleme junction flyover

Ahaha

They will swallow SouthWest and collect change

Sammy07:


Lol, mouth Don change.

Have you been to Ibadan b4?

Ibadan is almost the same size as South East region.
Ibadan is almost the same size as Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River and Akwaibom combined.

Some part of it are Brownroofs, while many part of it ain't Brown roofs

na lie jor..
obio akpor(in Rivers State) is the biggest lga by landmass but you say ibadan is as big as it's host state and it's neighbors to the east and west..oga you dey lie..

kettykin:

That is the notorious Diobu area of PH. Guys living or who have lived there have 100% street cred in PH.

If you live there 1week, you go get better street sense.

Sammy07:


Ahaha

Lolz. But is Ibadan really bigger than Rivers and Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom combined?? I haven't been there before, tho I heard its big.

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.

Let me day something that most of u may not have thought of. Flyovers do not primarily ease traffic especially when done the way wike did it on Aba road. If you go to benin city you will not fond a single flyover in that city which is almost 5 time bigger than Portharcourt. In time past there was serious hold up especially around the ring road area, akpakpava, new Benin and even 5 junctions to mention a few. What the govt in that state did was put a law in place that forbids private and commercial vehicles from dropping or picking up passengers anywhere close to T junctions and intersections. You do not need flyovers per day to achieve your 8mins drive on Aba road. Think of it this way, remove the bridges at GRA, CFC, and Waterlines junction. Erect medians on that spot to discourage turning then do the following;
1. Build and interchange at the garrison, mile 1, Rumuola and Artillery.
2. Do a one way turning immediately after the mile 1 bridge that takes you back to the garrison end.
3. Do same as 2 at Rumuola interchange that takes you back to garrison end. Same with artillery junction.
4. Stop buses and taxis from waiting or loading anywhere near major junctions.
5. Fix internal/ minor roads to accommodate the traffic from Aba road.
6. Remove the slabs causing blind spots from under the bridges that would have been built.

If you build bridges at every turn you will soon turn the city into a concrete jungle.

Take a cue from the presidential hotel junction by Aba road, you'd notice that you would have to turn right to GRA junction before you can turn towards artillery. That's how GRA, Waterlines, market junction and even the first bank you mentioned should be. Turning into the road at every junction causes gridlock. Block all the T junctions and intersections and build interchanges, mind you not just flyovers, to tackle the volume of traffic.

As for the pple oriented projects you mentioned, yes he has built campuses and the law school. The question is to what end? The law school right at the nose of rivers state university will create no more than shop floor jobs for the pple of the state. Would you compare that to the red or blue rail in Lagos or the Ibeno deep sea port project in Akwa ibom. Let's not even talk of the congestion the law school will bring to that area when it kicks off. If he must do it like he did why not take it to greater Portharcourt or even Etche or igirita. All of this is close to Phc.
You do not spend that amount of money and call it pple oriented when primary and secondary education in your state us in comatoes. What kind if development according to you will the law school attract to that tight area of Phc or rivers state as a whole.

24SEVEN:


Udom has not done anything. Akwa Ibom is still a village compared to Rivers.

Rivers is not same thing as Phc bro. Udom has opened up many rural roads and also done we'll with the airport and airline. What about the deep sea port to mention a few.
As for rivers, it is just a glorified concrete jungle. No plans no direction. The gov wakes up and builds over bloated fly overs where he could have blocks maybe an intersection to redirect traffic.

24SEVEN:



Lolz. But is Ibadan really bigger than Rivers and Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom combined?? I haven't been there before, tho I heard its big.

Nay but definitely bigger than 1 of the state. While the 3 combined is a little bigger than Oyo state

boldtruthalways:

Stop talking trash. If you have moved on that road some years ago, it will take you more than 4hours to move from Oil mill junction to Garrison or Park but today, in less than 30mins, you are there. Yes 8 flyovers looks much but that road is the major road in PHC, it has made live now easy for the people. Moreover, this is his 2nd tenure when many Governors in Nigeria don't even do much but steal alone, but he's busy trying to deliver some dividends. Wike is not perfect but he has done well on infrastructure. Give it to him. There may be other areas he did not do so well, that's left for another discussion but on infrastructure, he has done great.

Leave that girl called Obembet, she doesn't have a car. Her own is to sit inside bus and taxi everyday and be making opinions. People that actually pay for wear and tear of vehicles that are caused by stress on the road will know that Wike has done on our road infrastructures.

Sammy07:

Ok, Maybe bigger than Bayelsa. That is a very large city.

Chaiiiiiiiiiii...... Obaseki is a curse. Tueeeehhhhh

chrisxxx:

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 .

Your problem is ignorance and lack of exposure. If you swallow everything like this hook line and sinker you'd remain forever a slave. The fly overs are mostly unnecessary but you are as blind as a bat to see.

Airport, Seaport and whatever you wish to add have been in PH for eons. PH first Seaport was built in 1912( 110years ago). Airport was in 1970s thereabout. So what the fuss.

We are talking urban renewal and redevelopment due to expansion in population.

So would Wike build more airport's and seaports when we already have atleast 2 of each??

Benin city is bigger than Portharcourt even if you add igno Etche and Choba to Phc. I have lived in both cities.

I dont reply less informed persons like you. watch the supreme court upturn the judgement of the Judges in wike's payroll

So why is Lagos building more airport and seaport if it wasn't necessary. So when there's is expansion in population you build bridges? Whatever happens to opening up new areas like the greater Portharcourt his predecessor started or completing some of the housing projects or even initiate new ones. Apart from Lagos state other state are lagging in urban renewal my brother. The thing is, like is not a standard when it comes to good governance. No elected leader in Nigeria is tho.
