An Ebonyi based civil society group has called out the minister of works, Dave Umahi over the deplorable state of the roads in Ebonyi while he served as Governor of the state .

The Group under the auspices of Conscience of the Ebonyi people frowned at the cement roads built by the minister just under a year as minister.

The group spokesperson, Oleka chike has called on the federal government to come to the aid of the people in Ebonyi state as the roads are becoming a nightmare for Travellers and commuters.

Oleka warned that , the minister has refused to listen to the people of the state to build quality roads instead of using cements that are not durable .

This road as bad as it is which road did Pandora criminal Peter Obi did that can stand toe to toe with this ?

You obidient ipob fools keep labouring in vain to tarnish Umahi's but who God as bless 3 trillion of your hate filled ipob father can not bring him down.

magoo10:
one agbado urchin said ipob went at night to pour acid on the road
how foolish can some people look trying to defend what is obvious.

i pity ebonyi people with the debts they will pay in future.

this scenario played out in imo state when rochas was building roads and bridges every where.

For someone that "schooled ... and ... graduated in 2018," I expect you to be able to communicate in a sensible and civil manner without resorting to insults and name-calling.

Fine, the roads were constructed in 2016. That's about 7 years. Now tell me, should roads constructed 7 years ago be this bad when there are are also roads in this same country that lasted decades (despite poor maintainance) before they take up the condition of these 7 year old roads?

If it is new to you that roads do last over 7 years and still be in good shape, I won't hold it against you, I'll just encourage you stop applauding mediocre project.

Needless to say that my comment have nothing to do with the governor or state. I don't care about any politician neither am I a fan of any.

Lmao. Wahala for Umahi wey be Ipob still come be Apc join. The delulu don enter deluxe version like this

Funny guy, u should know umahi won Ebonyi state when he was in PDP. That said am obidient and I Love Umahi, i was happy when he was appointed minister of works.. people have different oppinion about different things, obidients are millions on young Nigerian... we have different perspective of something but have one thing in common, We want a working country that our parents couldn't give us!

This shows incompetence.

Not understanding material science and engineering. Has cost Nigeria finances trillions, then the added corruption money involved is almost a trillion.

We think say na to snap picture with oyibo be the only wisdom. While you were 419 ing their people, they were 419-ing your future.


Any African country that thinks that Europe or asia will come and build infrastructure like roads and buildings for them, is an unserious country. They will rather financially invest or donate money, than build it. These countries are loosing those kinds of labor skills. Latin America are the labor builders now, especially for 12 stories and below; even them will soon graduate to designers only like the Europeans and some parts of Asia. Sometimes their theories are wrong, because they are loosing the labor skills; one wrong mix or missed timing can compromise cement roads before they harden.

These developed countries are still good in agricultural labor and skills, they are good with engine design and production, they are good with computers, and medicine research. They don't have time to come and be building one place for an African wanna be king. If na big company you call, dem go just send some low ranking personnel to go supervise the work, send one high ranking person to go close the deal. That loe ranking person, go use your project learn, get im trade hours up.


Africa lacks experts and leadership.
Africa also lacks growth mindset. Skills like infrastructure, takes 7 to 8 years to master. It is a team work. Also knowing what to do when a machinery is not available.

Africa is dead last in machinery building.
Africa is suppose to be the highest builders of cranes, all sorts of cranes. Any building, any building related thing, any road, any road machinery, any road maintenance and upgrade, Africa are suppose to be the experts of that, for the next 50 years. Not just in labor, but also in design and research.


Hopefully the incompetent projects no dey everywhere like that.

Zonefree:
Using Lagos and Ogun standard, these roads are clean.

Catapault:


Talk talk talk.

Set up your own crane building company nau...

Na to point fingers?

Africa is this, Africa is that.

Africa is not a person standing somewhere.

It's YOU.

That is actually quite wrong. For starters, steel reinforcements are absolutely useless when building roads. The main issue here is that the idi0ts that built those roads forgot to take thermal expansion into account, when the sun comes up, that hard cement will expand and crack, and with regular use, completely destroyed in a matter of months. What a real engineer would have done if he wanted to build roads with cement would have been to do it block-wise, putting flexible buffers between each and every block that make up the road to allow for afore-mentioned thermal expansion. In tar roads, it is the tar that serves the dual purpose of adhesive and flexible buffer between the gravel that it is mixed with.

MasterTeeUSA:
Steel reinforcement are absolutely useless...which school did you go to? What will distribute the load bearings coming from trucks? Please pay attention in school...maybe they shouldn't use steel reinforcemt when building bridges as well. No wonder we have roads that don't last long...because of mindsets like this. There is a reason why we use reinforced steel in buildings specific to the type of buildings you construct. In case you forgot...go back all the way to Young Modulus

Alusiizizi:


The force profile for a bridge is completely different from road supported from underneath by the earth. For slabs of cement used to build roads, the force is almost entirely compressive, whica unreinforced cement blocks can manage without issue, while bridges will typically have much larger force profile, including torsion, sheer and compression, hence necessitating the use of steel reinforcements.
