When some of you psychos on NL throw out garbage from moving vehicles or dump them on street corners una no know say e go block drainage? Besides whats wrong with some nigerians? I have seen worst flood pictures from American,European and Chinese cities. Are we so cursed that whenever anything negative happens in our country,we elevate it and turn it into an abomination of some sorts,forgetting the fact that it can happen anywhere? |

man smith:you forgot Eneka road. Residents of Woji are still wondering when the gulley by Assemblies of God church will be attended to. the gulley has been getting bigger for the past 2 years. i hope that rumuogba road edge of Artillery junction has not been given to an indigene to fix? this is corruption by different names. |

Mr Love King,this is real,I live and work in Port Harcourt,Our Gov has taken us back to 1800s where people do a lot of cameling. it is a daily routine to spend hours in traffic in port harcourt caused by bad road.Even as we speak,people are still trapped or walking home along aba road.this is no joke |
| Re: State Of Roads In Rivers State (the Home Of Red Mud!) by mansmith(m): 11:17pm On Sep 20, 2011 |
The Eneka axis is a no go area,if u take ur car there,sorry,u will have tales to tell.people living in okporo no longer use the main entrance, in fact taxis now stop by agip estate the u walk to aba road or the reverse if u are coming into okporo.The problem is that the govt is not interested in fixing the roads.Last week the commissioner of works Mr Giadon was on air to say that we should bear with them that the government asked the contractors not to fix the roads till the end of the rains i.e in 60 days time.He said roads fixed during the rains are more likely to collapse.But if u live in port harcourt,u will know that the rains no deh stop for here. |
| Re: State Of Roads In Rivers State (the Home Of Red Mud!) by mbulela: 11:33pm On Sep 20, 2011 |
Henry120:that is part of my problem.we are tortured for months while the roads are under construction, at the end we are presented with sub standard roads that collapse after a few months. i guess it enables another contract to be awarded,probably to the same indigene. sounds like a case of repeating the class after you fail. |

TRUTH IS MANY ROADS IN PHC ARE IN VERY BAD SHAPE. BUT THESE ROADS ARE ALL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. AMAECHI GIVES MUCH OF THE CONTRACTS TO HIS RIVERS MEN AND THESE PEOPLE ARE NO GOOD WHEN IT COMES TO ROAD CONSTRUCTION. I CAN MENTION MANY ROADS THEY CONSTRUCTED LAST YEAR WHICH IS IMPASSABLE AT THIS TIME, THIS IS NOT JUST A RIVERS PROBLEM, IT HAPPENS ALL OVER NIGERIA. THE ROADS IN PHC IS BY FAR BETTER THAN LAGOS ROADS. THE DIFFERENCE IS EVERY BAD ROAD IN PHC IS UNDERSTAND CONSTRUCTION, BUT LAGOS ROADS ARE A NIGHT MARE, FROM MY OWN POINT OF VIEW, AMECHI IS BY FAR BETTER THAN THE THIEF CALLED PETER ODILI. AMAECHI HAS BUILT THE BEST AND MOST EQUIPPED PRIMARY/SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN NIGERIA. HE IS ALSO DOING WONDERS IN THE HEALTH SECTOR, EVERY TOWN HERE IN PHC HAS A STANDARD HEALTH CENTER PLUS THE WORLD CLASS HOSPITAL IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A CANADIAN COMPANY. THE GAMES VILLAGE IN PHC IS SECOND TO NONE IN NIGERIA, I WAS THERE DURING THE RECENTLY CONCLUDED ALL NIGERIAN GAMES, THE PLACE IS LESS THAN 15 MINUTES DRIVE FROM MY HOUSE, SECURITY SITUATION IS VERY OK NOW THAN BEFORE, WE GO OUT IN THE NIGHT WITHOUT FEAR, IN SUMMERY, AMAECHI NEEDS TO ENGAGE ONLY REPUTABLE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES, AND THIS SAME ADVISE GOES TO ALL STATE GOVERNORS, AMAECHI HAS BUILT MORE ROADS THAN ANY OTHER STATE GOVERNOR IN RIVERS STATE, AMAECHI IS BUILDING A WORLD CLASS CITY FROM SCRATCH, THE GREATER PORT HARCOURT MEGA CITY. COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF, DONT BE FOOLED WITH WHAT U READ ON THE INTERNET, RIVERS STATE IS VERY RICH SO AMAECHI SHOULD DO MORE, PERIOD |

@ OP; a little Objectivity will do u good, since u posed as a journalist try giving balanced report; this so called roads are all under construction and if its Ada George road u snapped the contractor has finished his sub surface drains and center medians; they are currently waiting for the rains to subside b4 d can commence earthworks; pls try to stop spreading false hood; PH and BY have very difficult terrains coz it rains @ least 9 months a year and no meaningful work can be carried out for @ least 6months when the rain is @ its peak. The Governor has issued a stop work order on all road contractors till November due to incessant application for variations. I'm not a fan of Ameachi coz I think he's wasteful just like every other Governor (including Niaraland's almighty Fashola) but let's be objective. PS: NTA Road and Rumuola Road also passed throu dis same phase but now all dat is history. |

I dont know how you came to that conclusion about my objection. However, you can do better by telling us the "true"state of roads in Rivers. Thank you hardywaltz: |
| Re: State Of Roads In Rivers State (the Home Of Red Mud!) by Johndoe100(m): 4:36am On Sep 21, 2011 |
Rhino.5dm: The true state of the roads in PH is that they are under construction, the work is ongoing as you well know. You and the people who put this on the front page have an agenda it seems. Your well known dislike of we the Rivers people is well known, however I think you envy us. stagger: You mean the work in progress? I fully support the policy. |

Shame on you Poster Till thy kingdom Come, you can never compare lagos to PHC, despite its status as a former capital which gave it all it has. PHC is and will continue beating lagos HANDS DOWN You have been put to shame by every testimonies here. come to PHC and see what lagos hasn't and will never have SHAME ON YOU ALL (think sey lagos na PHC mate) |

Johndoe100: You know the roads are under construction because na you award the contracts right? The roads are under construction, but no road construction tools or machinery in sight, no construction workers, not even a single shovel in sight, How pathetic. |
| Re: State Of Roads In Rivers State (the Home Of Red Mud!) by YoAdek333(m): 6:15am On Sep 21, 2011 |
Like most of Nigeria no governance just elected and ministry thieves! I am sure multiple contracts have been awarded for these roads for the past 30 years and this is what we have to show for those inflated contracts. I guess the people that benefited from the contracts can buy jeeps to reach their mansions located in front of this eyesore. Most elected officials should hang their head in shame. |

LOL. . .FUNNIEST thing is that some Nigerians WILL defend anything even if it is KILLING THEM! Please continue. . .those roads are straight express to wherever and the government is the best that exists in the world! I don't see anything wrong with those roads at all. . .some people are so unfortunate to have annoyingly well-tarred roads leading into their freaking backyards yet they are NOT happy with this one?  Well, in all seriousness, enjoy the roads, no complaints at all from me if the people who swim across the roads love it! For your information, I can drive at 50 kmph on the roads in front of my house (which is over the speed limit), the roads are NOT even perfect comparing with other roads but it is WAY better than the roads in PH, Lagos-Ibada, Benin-Ore and guess what, it is fixed every now and again! Well, suffer-head fits you guys over there, please enjoy it!  |

The jokes is on you to prove otherwise. I don't know why people get angry when a spade is called a spade. Even if the roads are under construction, the onus is on you to prove it. Only the devil will not want to identify himself with predicament those people. The situation is critical! . . .The only respond i expect from you clowns is to post a contrary picture or contract document detailing the scope of work, not some trash. I gladly awaits your proof.
