akikooo. Tell me something. He got 198,000 earlier. This time around na 198 pieces of vote Igbo dem go give am. THIS BRIBE WILL NOT WORK.

SenatorJChris:
Do you expect me to tell you exactly where the road someone posted is? Do I look like Fashola. I am sure you haven't been on that road before now because if you do, you would admit that work has been going on even before Jonathan took over. The pace of the work hasn't changed either. It is not about who is in power here. The practice is to increase work during the buildup to elections so as to use it to score political point.

how much more intelligent can you be by labeling everyone whose opinion opposes yours as Ipob

Two projects central to the economic development of the South East zone were left unattended to and remain death traps. I refer to the Enugu-Onitsha highway and the Enugu Port Harcourt highway. Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President did not consider the two roads important.


[b]Anyim and Ekewremadu are from two neighbouring communities, though in different states. Anyim is from Ishagu in Ebonyi State while Ekweremadu is from Mpu in Enugu State. To approach both communities, you must drive approximately 30 kilometres on the Enugu –Port Harcourt highway from Enugu Airport. After the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku Ozala, three major turns to the left lead to Ishagu and Mpu, two communities of about 20, 000 people where the Federal Government, at the behest of the two gentlemen, sank an estimated sum of more than N20billion to build one of the best road networks in Nigeria.

“The tragedy is that the crucial Enugu-Port Harcourt highway, which connects Aba, Umuahia and Okigwe, remains a death-trap. These gentlemen prioritized roads leading to their village mansions, ancestral shrines and farmlands over the all-important Enugu-Port Harcourt highway. The Enugu-Onitsha highway with the highest vehicular traffic in the Southeast connects the commercial centres of Onitsha and Nnewi to Enugu International Airport, but the road to the airport is no longer passable. Yet, for eight years, Ekweremadu, as Deputy Senate President, signed off on the national budget before its presentation to the President for assent.

[/b]”It is clear to me that imperfections in the Nigerian arrangement are compounded, in the case of the Southeast, by a declining quality of leadership that has pushed the younger Igbo generation to embrace separatism and yearn for Biafra. If the two gentlemen who scrambled for and occupied the two highest positions zoned to the Southeast had acted in the collective interests of the zone, the state of physical infrastructure in the zone would not be as bad as it is now. “

The self-serving leadership of the Southeast which Offodile discusses with erudition and fearlessness in his book on Biafra may not have attributes peculiar to the zone’s leaders. Profound leadership deficit is a nationwide problem. Our leaders use the people as cannon fodder to be used and dumped while pretending to be service-oriented. Perhaps it is more pronounced in the Southeast.

By refusing to fix the critical but awfully dilapidated Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway which passes by what Americans would call their neck of the wood but prefer to build new, state of the art roads in their villages which in economic terms lead to the middle of nowhere, both Anyim and Ekweremadu personify the village mind-set which many current Southeast politicians possess. Interestingly, it is Fashola, the erstwhile Lagos State governor, who is now reconstructing not just the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway but also the other critical highway in the Southeast which has been in a total mess for years, the Onitsha-Enugu Expressway. Media accounts say the reconstructed part is far better than the original construction, with new drainage facilities and other things now being added.

Without using words, Fashola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has portrayed the wretchedness of what modern political scientists call prebendal politics in Nigeria, in which what matters is where you come from and the religion you profess, even though you may be worse than a barracuda in devouring the resources of your people while pretending to be espousing their interests. By reconstructing most impressively the Onitsha-Enugu Road and the Enugu-Port Harcourt Highway, among the infrastructure critical to the Southeast and by extension the nation, Fashola has thrown a huge challenge to Ekweremadu and Anyim as well as others around the country pretending to be devoted to the service of their zones. There is still hope for Nigeria, with selfless leaders like Fashola. May his type grow rapidly across the nation.

They don't deserve it..

Infact they don't deserve anything cos they are ingrates.

What they can't do, they never allow others willing to do get it done.

IjeleNwa:
am biologically existing in both parts and that doesn't stop me from. Criticising any one of them for truth sake. You are the tribalist bcus you don't even have a say. Save ur energy and stop quoting me bcus you are actually The foolish one here by quoting me since you don't care.

IjeleNwa:
I am igbo but. Trust me,I have seen a lot amongst this Yorubas,I have lived with them,I know more about them bcus I invaded. Their lands,but yet they claim to know it all while sitting in their ewedu nd agbo joint,judging,stabbing nd condeming people there hardly know. My take is that,I won't waste time to floor them when the needs arises. (I still remember how an igbo pastor was killed by yoruba fellow worsippers right inside the church bcus of jealous of annointing nd vision)

These pictures are not from Enugu - onitsha express way.

but in reality, there is no section of the road where both sides are tarred as at today. Work is going on only on the side of traffic inward Enugu. Get your facts right and don't deceive the public

Never knew Reno was so dumb!


Constructively criticize and remove sentiments. If you dont accept colonies, suggest other ways to manage the situation and stop spewing hate.

In a sane country where guns are licensed, Reno should have been shot multiples time a long time again.


Jeez! An opportunist he simply is.

That was then but now Fulani is in power, so we shouldt use the in power to control them,I think plating grass more in the North is better

This story is just annoying. The Ibom Specialist Hospital located at Ekit Itam, Ikot Ekpene Road, Uyo in Akwa Ibom requires far less than this amount to revive it, and make it a centre of excellence that will benefit the citizens, and even help to make money for govt. But no, Udom has not thought about making the hospital operational again. Instead, he wants to complete a governor's lodge that adds next to zero value, to the lives and purses of the citizens of Akwa Ibom. God dey!
