I boarded a cab for TWENTY NAIRA in Ibadan and I was stunned.It offers you partly Lagos bubbling style but most things are cheap.Ibadan ni joo.

True Ibadan is cheap but it comes with it's downside.

Recall flagging down a cab with a colleague of mine, when we came for a conference in Ibadan.

We needed to get to an ATM but all we got was blank stares from the driver.

He could not understand a single word of English, even broken down to the simplest phrases, and this was in the heart of the city.

We were almost stranded.

Tell me the credibility AIT has?
A TV station that is filled with Edo and Benin people
Stop hyping AIT, the aren't special....if you were saying Channels TV now I would just surrender to you...

I thought Edo was APC?

Tinubu has no case.

The court will throw it out.

We cannot return to the days of Buhari where the press is gagged.

What of crankshaft

mmsen:
I have to say that I am shocked to see people proclaiming Ibadan as the best city in Nigeria to live in. Have those people ever visited Calabar?

First place is Calabar followed by Uyo and Enugu.

All of the places I've listed are clean, orderly, safe, great roads (Uyo and Calabar in particular), great local eaters, with respectful and charming locals.

Abuja would be on that list were it not for the security issue.

I believe most of them have not really left Ibadan or are just doing so based on sentiment.

misterh:
Is there any 5-star hotel in Ibadan?

It was projected as one but it definitely falls below par maybe a 2 star at best.

Ilorin is way better than Ibadan.

cindicandy:
Please remove enugu from that list. enugu is a poor old reddish town with poor people. The list should go thus; Abuja, Ibadan, Calabar and maybe Uyo

Which Ibadan?

Is it there another Ibadan in Nigeria apart from the one i know?

Any time i visit Ibadan i wonder how people cope, i really pity the residents.

I cannot forget the rat experience i had in a supposedly 5 star hotel.
Would not want to go back there.

Enugu, Calabar, Uyo, Ilorin

So this is where Buhari will end up.

gebest:
we dont need him in APC

But you accepted Mbadinuju who was even worse than Orji.

ziryboy:
You must be a fool for posting this. In a region Boko haram attack every time, you expect people to go for mass protest? do you want them to be attack? Idiot like you, you can't even think well

Why not.

If everyone stands firm against Boko Haram then they cannot thrive.

abatically:
I'm surprised u failed to see the humor in that comment.

I suppose he was just being sarcastic.

lomomike:
Mr, I don't care about who did what when where or how. in cartalk we deal strictly on cars we don't politicize our thread that's why our section is one of the most sanest section. If anyone don't wish to dance to our tune, the person should go out or risk getting a ban.

Case closed.

Then you should close the thread because it is already politicized ab initio.

Also the post by spyder https://www.nairaland.com/2173197/horrible-condition-enugu-onitsha-express-road should be moved to politics section.

Thanks.

billy187:
bros!! u shld have told me this before i blew the transmission of my picanto trying to chase down an audi s6

Are you for real?

Even with my V6 Maxima, I have long learnt to respect S Audis.

I do not bother with them.

lomomike:
What has Sullivan Chime's rule in Enugu got to do with Driving a Porsche panamera in his state?
Na wa for Nigerians and politicizing of issues and trends.

Can you drive a Porsche Panamera on this road?

Adyrin:
Grave lie from the pit of hell!
I served in Benue state and I frequently use that road!
I even passed last week sef.......
They are working seriously on it!
God Bless Willie of Anambra State...he's really working!


Mind you; amma Deltan...

You are partially right the Onitsha end of the road is in a better state and is undergoing active repairs.

However the Enugu state portion, and also after Awka, is in a very terrible state and needs urgent attention.

That road is also very busy and should not have been neglected or given to unreliable contractors to handle.

It should be a national emergency.

If this story is true, then i must say that the decision by the Imams is a very divisive one.

The catholic bishops met with Buhari irrespective of his religious affiliation, they prayed for him and they interacted.

The Imams have a duty to pray for the leaders in power.

If they have misgivings about the government then this should be the best avenue to express it.


Will they also refuse to meet Buhari.

This makes one question what Islam really stands for unity and peace or divison and malice?

BeeBeeOoh:
Do we also thank or curse the man that promised to "Soak Our Dogs & Babbons In Blood Or,


Do we also thank or curse the man that made us to understand that, "An Attack On Boko Haram Is An Attack To The North

Don't try 2 make sumtin out of nothing my dear friend, u can do better than this.. Shalom

Period.

MCMLXXVI:
IMMBECILE! Can you not see the date on that newspaper I posted?
The picture you posted there is OLD, because I can AUTHORITATIVELY tell you that ALL those construction vehicles have COMPLETELY disappeared from the venue as construction has come to a grinding HALT!!!
Could you dull propagandists stop insulting our senses with your lies and stupiidity for once?
Rochas Okorocha started work on that road just for mere political points in November 2014 because he thought the elections would hold on February 2015 as planned. He NEVER planned to finish that road, but only graded it with the hopes of getting votes from those people before the rainy season. But since the elections got postponed, his ineptitude has been completely exposed by the rain season. No single road is motorable when it rains here! Roads without drainage litter the place, waiting to wreak havoc on innocent pedestrians and drivers at the slightest sign of rain.
Where is Rochas to be found today? He is still in London, running around with BUHARI!
What an immbecile!

I understand how you feel.

Many roads in Owerri become totally impassable during the rainy season due to very poor quality construction work and lack of drainage.

Worldbank axis from ideal suites round about to Imo housing round about has already turned into a nightmare.

Do you know the road that links government house to works road(madonna school), that road failed in seven days a world record.

The inland roads are of slightly better quality but the one continuous with ware house roundabout is already failing with several substandard patches.


Rochas really needs to stop cutting corners when it comes to road construction.

Who is Quilox?

What is MI?

Ondo state HA is depressing.

Oyo state HA looks like a block of flats.

highmood:
mind you, the state in the southwest and northwest i.e Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and Kano have people from different ethnic groups living there and many have different candidates who are endeared to them.

That is what many people fail to understand.

This is unlike the SE and SE that is not.

GEJ will win SE SS and NC overwhelmingly break even in SW and may lose marginally in NE and NW.

Nothing has changed.

Buhari can never be president and he knows it.

If a vehicles evades a check point.

The simple safe dutiful thing to do is to radio the officers ahead in the next check point to stop the vehicle.
Customs always have a chain of check points along major roads.

Especially in circumstances where a pursuit is dangerous and the vehicle is not seen as a threat to other citizens.

This is because the collateral damage from a pursuit may well be more damaging as is the case here.
Innocent bystanders may be killed in the process.


But because of greed and bribery the officers will want to pursue so that they will get the bribe themselves.

lolaluv1:
These customs and immigration people are very wicked. Our society needs to be purged, especially these men in uniform.
You need to see What they do to Nigerians traveling out for the first time.
WHEN they saw my virgin passport, they went on to act series of very annoying films.
Because I didn't buy PTA due to the rate, I told them I had my money on my card. Besides, my relation had travelled ahead of me and was going to pick me up at the airport.

They went on to ask if I had my 'authorisation to travel ' from my workplace. Wheres my hotel reservation. That I should go and print my statement. How do they know I'm not deserting my workplace (like say e concern them). Bla bla bla.

All was in a bid to extract money from me. Before all these, on sighting my passport, they had referred me to an officer in one nook like that, stationed to fleece innocent first timers like me of cash.

When they saw their ploy wasn't working, they now held on to the news that I didn't have PTA and said it was against the policy.

I have to write a statement about her, one rotund 'oga' announced. She has to go to the investigation room.

So I stood there eying them angrily. Watching as he scribbled words on paper.
One of them came close to me. "Ha, if you see all the young girls detained in the investigation room, all crying, he whispered conspiratorially.

He Then stared at me with a 'you don't wanna go there' look and walked away.

Through all that was happening, I held my backpack tightly, before they would slip something incriminating inside.

What a country!

That is not cool.

Is this how they are going to make mistakes with our economy?

This is what every true Nigerian should stand for not shouting sai Buhari like a programmed robot.

This is true.

However, the diversification of our economy started by GEJ must continue with full blast.

To hypothetically think that if Buhari wins (an impossibility) he would have claimed to have succeeded in stabilizing oil prices is laughable.

berem:
Liar number 4!
Go back, snap the road and upload the picture please!

Yes ma.

You expect me to leave what i am doing and drive to a road i will not wish my worst enemies to pass through just to get pictures for you.

Meanwhile you are yet to accept the glaring evidence before you.

This is very unfortunate.

If APC actually means well for Nigeria, it will be happy at the recent advances against Boko Haram but that is not the case.

berem:
Another pathetic liar! You are telling me as if i don't know the road too well.
All these ediots trying to score cheap political points by posting old pictures,Rochas is our next governor.

Meanwhile,go to the Imo picture thread and see the pictures of current bad roads i snapped and posted during my visit to imo state. That's just the true situation of the road,but lying about a road that has been fixed is totally unacceptable.

Please stop lying.

I find it very embarrassing.

I drove past that road just yesterday and i regretted ever doing so.

It is in a very sad state.
