Some roads may have lanes when just constructed, but as soon as they start to fade away, that is the end of the lane marking on that road, almost never to be re-marked again.

Generation after generation of Nigerian drivers keep adapting to the lawlessness of driving on roads without lane markings, further worsening the already chaotic driving situation aided by low level enforcement of law and order by the police force.

I guess to some, we should rejoice at the fact that we even have roads in the first place. Unfortunately, these people are somewhat justified, in the sense that, the unsightly sight of bad roads pervades the entire country.

All in all, we need to promote order in our society and lane markings are a step towards order, at least in terms of road transportation.

You cannot aspire to become a developed country and ignore the details, because the details are far from trivial.

ARIARIA IPP
installed capacity: 2 MW
licenced capacity: over 9 MW
consumed capacity : under 1 MW
Type. runs on gas (supplied by shell gas pipelines)

This facility has the ability to supply the power needs of both residential, commercial and very light industrial facilities of the ariaria-faulks-osusu axis of Aba. Unfortunately, many people in that area are yet to key into such an opportunity to get cleaner, safer and cheaper power.
The State government of abia seem to be the people buying more into this project, as this plant powers most of the streetlights being installed in Aba today. I think massive sensitisation/ marketing should be carried out to make more business's and residencies key into it-while we wait for the reactivation of geometrics power plant in ABA

I'm not Yoruba but u are already biased

Is it zoning? (They already had Obasanjo, Osinbajo) how many president North produces
Is it Oduduwa republic threat? (Like the igbos Biafra) They Stick to one nigeria as of now
Will it be Resource control ( Nigerian states depend on SS oil )? Like seriously
Will they threaten to Shut down lagos for non Yorubas? (The commercial center of Nigeria) I don't even think what to type here

Tinubu will simply be grateful that he was not sent to jail after all he stole.
If he makes noise, he will be given the Abacha treatment whereby his loot will aggressively be pursued like Abacha's and his 'returned loot" will be used to finance special projects in the budget.

hope is federal govt that's building it ooo, because that's a federal road

Am happy you know they have questionable accountability.

If it were you, wouldnt you monitor the funds?

Especialy when you need it to yield something that would be profitable for you too.

America does not quite understand the words "Corruption" and "Nigeria" when they are in the same sentence. Nigeria will give them a 900-page document of trash and unnecessary "long-story", just to discourage accounting for the money.

I love the English word "Obfuscate" because it totally sums Nigerian government officials strategy to make sure that the more America looks, the less they see. If they seriously want to track how their money is spent by the FG.

hey the project is a world Bank/newmap project,Abia could only meet the criteria to buy into newmap around 2016.
Just don't doubt me, google is for everyone including you-you would see notices for submission of tender for this project a year or two back(through the Federal government of Nigeria). The final design got approved last year and last paper work finished this year.
contrary to your assumption, demolition work (so the road can become a six lane road)and the drains on ph road (which is a federal road by the way) has been completed, demolition to enable ngwa road become a four Lane dual carriageway has also been done before now.
like I said earlier, browse and confirm about the "Aba flood mitigation project"

the above link is for submission of tenders a year ago.


https://newmap.gov.ng/update-on-implementation-of-initial-21-sites-and-table-of-new-sites/
the above link is from the newmap site as of 2017/2018.you can also see projects done by newmap in many states of the East. I hope you are convinced now?

No need wasting your time to convince me the sky is pink when it is blue. I am not referring to New Map erosion control projects, I am referring to dualization and total reconstruction of Ngwa road etc. which you claimed.

Everyone knows that Abia state has performed so poorly in providing or improving infrastructure for its people compared to other states in Nigeria. So for Abia to suddenly wake up with brand new roads dualization projects when every other reasonable state is cutting back smells heavily of fish.

Don't worry, in a few months we shall see if these audio road projects ever happened. Mind you, i'm praying that Abia State govt. is serious about a project for once.

It took years coming but, Abia state government just signed off on the reconstruction of ph and ngwa road with the world Bank(those roads are responsible for the gory pics of aba on Nairaland ) .
the contract covers the dualisation and total reconstruction of ngwa road, the reconstruction of urrata and obohia roads as well completing the new six lane ph road as well two flood collection ponds and a network of gravity drain pipes. For just a counterpart fund of 750m-thank you World Bank /newmap.Contractor is a collaboration between heartland (already working on ph road) and a UAE firm. construction to take two and half years.
https://www.sunnewsonline.com/abia-pays-n750m-counterpart-fund-to-world-bank-for-roads-flood-control-in-aba/
newmap also just rounded up on 3 erosion control projects in the State (Mrs ngozi okonji iwela's village is a beneficiary ).if we had keyed into newmap as early as Anambra, maybe our case would have been different

This news is so fishy!

So Abia state government didn't find it expedient to do these roads since oil price was between $65-$80 dollars from 2015. It is now that it fell to below $30 dollars that they will suddenly find the money for such massive rehabilitation and total reconstruction?

I laugh in Arabic!

Imo Government led by Uzodinma rounding up Relief Market road. I believe those who followed this thread can also notice that since Uzodinma took over it has become active once again.

MainJoe:
“There is no provision for even the President to take the Law into his hands and then begin to mete out punishments to citizens without recourse to the constitution."

“The right to property, fair hearing and liberty are constitutional rights. No Governor has the power to dismiss these rights under the pretext of enforcing the COVID-19 regulations."

“No Constitution allows a Governor to become the maker of a Law, accuser, witness, enforcer of the Law, the prosecutor and the Judge at the same time. It is primitive,”

When you read the words of the SAN, there is no way Wike is right. But, we get even lawyers defending Wike breaking the law, claiming people should Obey laws.

If people blatantly support a wrong action, the person that made the mistake will feel he is right and continue in the wrong path.

People should shun party, tribal or religious affiliations and always stand by the truth. If not the country will remain in its irredeemable position.

SirToby:
Just like how Buhari removed Onnoghen. Firm leadership

Yes, if the laws of Nigeria said Buhari could use Police to arrest the Chief Justice of Nigeria and remove him.

In any case, I moved from a non-Buhari supporter out of my love for Nigeria to presently a staunch Buhari supporter out of my belief that Nigeria should suffer for their deeds. The best plague to afflict Nigeria is Buhari because he will so turn this country upside down.

Nigerians have been sold a big lie of integrity and fake "change". Money indeed disappeared & things indeed changed ~ for the worst
