Sad day!

nairalandposter:
This stuff needs a mechanized excavator, doing it manually is tasking.

And perhaps transparent covers ?

Yes oh.
Those giant suction machines will clean it up in 2 minutes, but I guess it will not give Igbokwe the publicity he's looking for.

Kano-Katsina road traffic is less than half of Enugu- Onitsha road.
Which one should be a priority in a normal society?

Good point

Tmania:
Senator Ike Ekweremadu, the representative of Enugu West in the Senate, has said that no constituency project will be abandoned in the district.

Ekweremadu, who was reacting to allegations of abandoned projects in the constituency, said Enugu West remained ahead in terms of implementation of constituency projects in the country.

The senator’s Special Assistant on Projects, Mr Jonathan Ivoke, said the former deputy president of the Senate, challenged any person who cared to come for a tour of the constituency to see projects which he attracted to the district.

He said, “The Ogwuma rural road rehabilitation project was first included in 2017 Zonal intervention project under Sustainable Development Goals in the Presidency.

Unfortunately, it was not awarded by the Presidency due to lack of funds.

It was then rolled over to the 2018 budget under Ministry of Environment and awarded.

The work involved is restoration of eroded surface and laying of asphalt and it is ongoing.

Umuhu Owelli erosion control project is ongoing, asphalt was laid before the rains and will continue after the rains because it is also included in the 2019 budget.

The Amata, Ituku erosion control project is also ongoing, some drainage work has just been done, awaiting asphalting immediately after the rains.

The road project at Mgbowo attracted by Senator Ekweremadu has since been completed by the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency and commissioned.

This can easily be verified from anybody from Mgbowo.

He advised the media and civil society organisations to always make proper enquiries from the respective MDAs.

Tracking of constituency project is a very positive development. It affords the citizens the opportunity of knowing what their representative does and how the FG MDAs carry out their statutory responsibilities.

However, I want to request that visits should be made to the Directors of Projects of the various MDAs for proper inquiries on project status.

I also want to appeal to communities to set in motion structures for the protection and maintenance of amenities sited in their domain,” he added.

I am a constituent of senator Ekweremadu from Anike area of Awgu local government area. Here is a partial list of uncompleted/abandoned projects I know personally:

1. Ugwueme-Nenwenta-Obeagu road. More than 100 million naira budgeted, less than 1 mile excavation work done at Obeagu end of the road, instead of the Ugwueme end as stipulated in contract.
2. Nenwenta access road
3. Awgu-Ugwueme-Isuochi road---contract has been budgeted, and awarded many times with nothing to show for it. What happens to the fund? The Anambra Imo river basin authority sponsoring this project had devised a clever method of not doing work, and getting a few corrupt individuals to sign off that the project has been completed.
4. Ugwueme rural electricity project--uncompleted. Abandoned with a few electric poles to show for it. It was never powered.
5. Ugwueme rural water supply scheme---this project was the most tragic, because after destroying the communities natural water supply system, the construction produced water for less than 1 week.
6. Awgu Oji river road---partially done

The Anike/Ugwueme area of Awgu voted massively for Ekweremadu, everytime, but they always got the short end of the stick, because the senator and Rep Toby Okechukwu insisted on working with the illiterate and corrupt individuals claiming to represent the communities.

Ekweremadu knows how to supervise his own constituency projects, like the road leading to his own home tome along Oduma/Mpu areas of Awgu, why does he rely on corrupt and hungry community leaders to tell him that these projects have or have not been completed? I make this assertion, because that has been his excuse all along.

If you collected 500 milion naira from the FG for a project, and you claim ignorance of the work status, because a few people signed off on the project after collect a bag of rice? Come on!

Please before coming to post verifiably false information on Nairaland, understand that you will be attacked with facts and figures. Our people are crying, dying, and you have time for publicity stunt?

Shame on you, Ekweremadu, and Toby Okechukwu.

Let break up and each region manage its road network.
Abi they want to build federal road using federal character.

Me I really tire
Most federal road are in bad shape.

That's another problem with this unfavorable federal system: it's punishing southerners from every direction. So-called federal roads in name only! They know that we have more rain in the south, the roads are more liable to damage, yet they insist of allocating more money for dry northern roads.

This speech is why Buhari is dangerous. Nigerians would be asking which country was he referring to?

Mrsheff:
Poor Magician, u can't even change Buhari to Donald trump....

Or find whitener for Tinubu teeth!

Instead of training 3 or 4 surgeons, and then have them take care of everything over a period of time.
God, why do we go backwards in Africa

Royalfurnitures:
IBB is one of the most detribalised northerners


Check out my signature for quality and durable furniture for your homes and offices

Detribalised?
No, he was not, despite marrying an Igbo woman.
Instead, he wanted to prove to Fulani people that he was one of them, eager and most willing to do whatever they told him. IBB even claimed Fulani heritage, before Sanusi told him, "no, you're not"
All of them who had the opportunity to move this country forward, but instead saw Igbos as enemy #1 always regret after leaving office.
IBB, the evil maradona set out to perpetrate the civil war, and he's just now waking up?

Take your money and run, that's a dangerous company run by illiterate or half educated people who will treat you worse in the future.

How do you direct that thunderstorm to Enugu, please.

Igbos survived Babangida's victimization, they too will survive Buhari!
Iseeeee hhh!

When a bad teacher couldn't teach they blame students.
When an unqualified doctor couldn't heal they blame patients.
When a police system is in effective, they blame many unsolved crimes on the people.
...and when a complex society like Nigeria caries out for a leader; demented, and uneducated, backward thinking tribal warlords like Buhari jump out to claim the throne, and then have paid agents like @poster come here to absolve the same man who promised to solve our problems of all sins of not being able to perform. From the economy, to security, to taking more than 6 months to get ministers working, to nepotism/corruption, this president is worse than a failure.
You seen why we h ave no hope as country?
On the average, Nigerians are much easier to rule than say American, Europeans, or the Chinese, we just want basic things, not even much.

Buhari has problems closing Benin Nigerian boarder, but leaves the entire northern boarders open for illegal herdsmen from everywhere. According to Fulani tradition, there is no boarder between nations from Senegal to Chad.

Somethings don't make sense.

Did he say anything about nepotism, as in hiring only your family members first to government positions?

kmcutez:
That is a Yoruba name, not Igbo. Seems your eyes are playing tricks on you. What does Olaudah Equiano mean in Igbo?

Your brain is playing tricks on you!
Obviously, you have never read any of Olaudah's articles where he introduced himself, described his home town, their language, and culture.
Better not make a fool of yourself by these questions, ok!

kayfra:
Jesus is Igbo by extension

Not sure where you're going with that, but any blind person can hear the phonetic similarities of my comparison.
Jesus, Mohammed, and co are newer phenomena to Hebrew as a culture. The World, and certainly Igbos did not start 2000 years ago.

Igbos, Ibos, Ebos, Hebrews: said my great grand dad, are the same!

aremuforlife:
That is part of OBJ failure as a Yoruba man who has ruled this country twice, we shouldn't expect a fulani man to support suppressing a fulani communities.
Let's hope that another Yoruba president will do justice to that.

Don't count on a Yoruba leader to liberate Ilorin from the Fulanis. An Igbo president with good understanding is your best bet!

Beautiful picture!
But why him forehead resemble muslim forehead?

sawdi:
Which one is ba turenchi?

Are you telling mez that there is no church in Kano where Christians worship? Is that what's you're telling me?

The question is not whether there is a church in Kano or not, the question is whether the Kano state government allows Christians to build churches, officially!
So, please don't confuse the issue. I don't mean roadside illegal churches that will be demolished at the next almajiri rioting session in Kano! It's ok, if you don't know, because this is well known fact inside and outside Kano, Sokoto, and even Katsina.

sawdi:
What are you saying? I schooled in Kano and there were churches. I remember vividly when some students will ditch the school church for the ones outside.

Ba turenchi d'allah!
Just show me a church building approved by Kano state government since 1960 inside Kano city, and I will pay you $100 immediately, in minutes if you accept Paypal!

EdiAbali:
If prophet Muhammad was alive in this 21st Century, he would be the number 1 in CIA terrorist list,

Many countries would ban prophet Muhammad from entering their countries, including Muslim countries,

just like they are doing to Zakir Naik

Nice input!
Many Nigerians don't even know these facts about Islam.

kogi2010:
mr man go to zungaru road and nomansland see 4 ur self n if I may ask what part of kano are u

Hotoro, and Sabo.
Even catholic church approved before the civil war destroyed b y fire was rejected for renovation in Sabon Gari. Nomansland and airport road have no new legal church!

abdulkayus:
Churches are still being built in Kano up till today, u can come and see it urself. The number of churches in kano are more than what u can imagine.

I lived in Hotoro for many years, and I know the local rules and regulations-both written and unwritten!

Sultan of Sokoto is useless to a democratic Nigeria.

BroadStreetBull:
Are you sure that you will say the same thing if El Rufai demolishes a church in Kaduna and tells you that the church was causing traffic and they refused to repair the road?

Are you sure you would say the same thing?

When was the last time a church was allowed to be build in Kano or Sokoto?
Hint: think when the British were in charge.

Despite the Billions and billions being spent by Buhari to fight BK, soldiers don't even seem to have decent feeding!

Say no to trial by media!
How do you even convince us to the facts of this case in one thread?
That primitive tactic used by Fulanis must not be adopted in Igboland. Go to court and make your case, not N/L.
