Nope, the 2 bridges are different and in different locations with different access roads. The 2nd niger bridge is an example of a new road, but GEJ failed to impress with that.

plz what is the location of the 2nd Bridge and what states do both link, so i know we are same page .waiting

tayo200:
shit..who will marry her now??

very insensitive.

obailala:
If new roads aren't necessary (as you both claim), then I suppose the construction of the 2nd niger bridge and Onitsha bypass roads is a silly idea and this project should be scrapped while the FG focusses on rehabilitating only old roads?

Guy you just shot urself in the leg, the 1st niger bridge and the 2nd Niger bridge are both called Niger bridge(Last time one APC candidate said it doesn't exist),According to you lot they are the same abi?so one might be going the other might be coming,whats teh difference between this and dualization? cos from last I checked someone said dualization doesn't necessary mean new rds built.

babafirst:
Thats exactly what we are saying,the roads were not 'demolished'.Now to answer your question directly,if I demolish the house at number one wailing street the house remains the house at number one wailing street.And to further answer your question, your example of house demolition cannot suffice here because the initiative of a new road ,a new part does not rest with the man that 'renovated' the road.

Then what would you call a rd that use to be a single carriageway and now turned into a double carriage way or better still dualized
I think we are missing the point here.The fact is the benin lagos rd would always be benin lagos rd, the only new thing that can occur is to dig up the old rd and re do it.back in them days road underlay where red sand,now its sharp sand and cement plus stone mixture as in teh case of teh east west rd,these rd would last longer.No I cannot account for all rd listed here but the few I have gone fru.I challenge any body to tell me the state of Sapele to bayelsa part of the east west rd.

Dahveydson:
It's laughable how you choose to turn to fallacy and avoid giving any valuable points on the topic at hand.

You've already been manipulated if you cannot objectively look at an issue and refrain from spewing ignorance.

Learn to tackle the argument than the arguer.

Cheers

ofcos i dnt expect you to get any grasp of what i wrote up there,print it and laminate it, 10 yrs time it will make more sense.
Now go play with ur mates.

Whether they mean any good is not the issue here, the VP simply said no NEW FG roads were built in 10 years (a fact). GEJ supporters took it personal, labelled the VP a liar and rained countless insults at him. The VP has now responded through his spokesman by politely asking those labelling him a liar to kindly mention the names of the new roads.

FYI, the VP and his spokesman have said exactly the same thing, don't rely on the title of this thread or on comments you read online. Here's the direct tweet from the spokesman below.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/3452242_vp_png49928d4bb7aa374ea01de0ee0fcb2888

And yeah, just starting a project is clearly different from 'starting and progressing to significant level.' It is also different from completing, else the VP can be termed a liar because GEJ kick-started the construction of the 2nd Niger bridge and onitsha bypass road (which is obviously a 'NEW' road).

Well I get your point however they are the FG, what was the relevance for the first statement by the VP, to waht aim?He should stop defending their inaction with the bad of the past FG,the field is now open for them to initiate their plans,that is of they have any cos from waht I see, they are more confused than the previous FG.if you look back in history, which Fg started brand new rds and finished the said rd? The FG should know that government should be continuous not stop at where the past one stopped,in my book both the statement of teh Vp and his spoke person are meaningless and bears no meaningful promise to the good people of teh federal republic of Nigeria.

goodguygonebad:
All the people asking for NEW road to be built. I ask a simple question. Why would I build a new road leading to nowhere? Is there any road/surface linking two locations falling under the purview of the federal government that doesn't have an existing road linking them? If yes, then we can castigate them saying they never built any road.

I will ask all those asking for new roads to answer this question once again. Will you just begin to build new roads that lead to nowhere? Seriously?

Well said,These politicians know the youths and some Nigerians will swallow this hook line and sinker,where did they expect the new rds to come from regards Federal rds?.here people are arguing about waht is new or rebuilt or resurfaced etc.The APC leadership should stop being Opposition party and realize they are in government and get on with the Job at hand, this is what all APC supporters should be telling them not wail with them, they should leave the wailing to PDP supporters they are better at it.

babafirst:
I dey Ore now,I dey ask agberos whether another new road dey from Ore to Benin apart from the one wey dem renovate and the agberos dey look me like kidnapper.

the house you live now if you demolish it and build another one, would you call it new one or renovated one?
@nusirat same question for you as well,
My take leaves these politicians, they are all the same APC+PDP nothing new

Dahveydson:
Please try and think up intelligent excuses and stop showing your shallow thinking by spewing fallacies.

Guy concentrate on JOB hunting, when you get more responsibility to pay rents and feed your family, the reality of how the Nigerian politicians manipulate its populace will hit you and I dare say you will be the wiser,keep living with ignorance.

excel101:
Promise ke, we're saying that they've not fulfilled one of their over 20 promises, you are asking of more promises. My bro APC are the biggest scammers in 9ja history.

Even Budget sef dem nor fit pass,its almost one year now.

ooshinibos:
these are re-surfaced roads ( not new roads ) used by politician to siphon money .....these roads are now deplorable ..

Have you traveled from sapele to Ughelli? or from Benin bypass to Bayelsa

amtaken:
There are many of them in Akwa Ibom built by Akpabio and reimbursed by the Federal Government.

They dont know,I asked someone here if they forgot state govt where mandated by teh FG to build then Bill the FG, Nop they 4got that,typical zombies and rice eaters.

anytexy:
You too na daft. If you did not tell us what you mean by New road. Shey they should create new road inside bush or the road should pass through your compound?

ahah Him follow eat that rice dem dey talk about,mayb the new rds shud be created in teh Air

Omonigeriarere:
You dey mind those imbeciles? EVen the Lagos-Ibadan Express Road GEJ used to campaign despite the fact that it is not a new road is not half done.

Guy if you check it says 10 years, GEJ ruled 6 yrs, This drunken spoke man said in 10 yrs PDP did nothing, so 10 yrs ago where was the East Rd at? the Lagos rd at? 10 yrs ago is 2006 just so you know.in 2008 I drove frm warri to PHC, all that was seen as the east west rd was attempt to build the bridges.Go there now and see.

Gaskia:
A man who has books but does not read is not different from a man who has not. A man who has a large yam barn but dies of hunger is not better than a pauper. A hard stone in the middle of a river has a dry core like the stone in the desert. OF WHAT USE ARE 'ROADS' THAT ARE NOT MOTOR-ABLE OR MOTOR-ABLE WITH PAINS? why would you embark on entirely new roads when 'existing' ones are of no use...'this would be the wisdom of a fool'.

GEJ took the FG all time tarred road record from 4,000KM to over 24,000KM and Foshola gave the testimony then Osibanjo Osibande and PMB are having migraine over this statement of fact.

The empirical evidence available as given by principal witness 1 ((PW1), Fashola) is 4000 to 24000 km in 6 years which means 20,000km in 6 years implying 3,333.33Km per year.
PMB and Osibande have spent approximately 1 year, how many kilometers or old roads have they fixed and how many meters of new roads of the designed and constructed?

Thank you very much

obailala:
You call the VP a liar when he makes a factual statement, now his spokesman has put forward a simple question to you and your ilk to expose your folly and this is the answer you can come up with? A question?

Answer the freeakin question put up by the VP's spokesman or cover your face in shame.

You are still following these thieves thinking the mean any good right? Cant you see they have changed stance? moved the goal post in the middle of the game?
Now with his statement he is tell us rds where built but not completed.
was that the stance of the VP few days ago??
VP says no new rd was built
VP's spoke person says No built rds where completed
So who is fooling who?

Dahveydson:
Your argument is invalid. Governor Sullivan of Enugu state, constructed a brand new road linking Enugu to Nsukka.

Now that's a state. If a Federal Government of 10 years cannot show a single new road it built from scratch then it is a disgrace and shouldn't be defended.

Again, Governor Sullivan didn't abandon other states road but improved and maintained them while he built that road.

Like I said, your argument is invalid.

The likes of you are the reason the FG take advantage of Nigerians cos you lot don't even know the diff between ur head and ur neck
Where you not alive when teh FG back then gave the mandate for all state govt in Nigeria to construct Roads and Bill the FGThis where things like direct labour agencies came to be in places like Delta State I dont k now why you guys would come on here to argue about politics and Economic matters when you know next to nothing about your LGA in the first place.So plz if ur state govt failed to co nstruct, repair and maintain any rd Hold them responsible.Starting with ur Ward councillor.

mynd1:
Gbam! Where r wailing Zombies when u need them most?

Another gwaro chewing sympatizer, what a loada Craaaaap.So the question is now *about Completed rd projects,I thought he did not start any at all/ ****
So now we agree he did start so me,
Bunch of cattle rearers,U are indeed doomed in ur quest for the support of this certificateless president.

huntax:
Must people always compare present and past governments whenever issues arise? It's becoming childish to be frank. Even the purest led government encounters challenges. Jonathan wasn't improving and we opted for a change in government. If this one doesn't improve, we will do the same. Stop making it seem as if Jonathan would have done better. If the vandals were killed like fowls, you'd all come here and accuse Buhari of being a military man.

In life there must be comparison to make a difference, the only govt we can compare PMB is is that of GEG,good or bad so deal with it.

Stalwert:
Change being sabotage by criminals who do not want any progress for the country, but Buhari will lock their evil faces in jail. They privitaise NEPA just to make money for themselves, we are yet to see any measurable impact from this disco of darkness

when we told him then this was the case waht did the likes of you say? we were wailers abi??

rottennaija:
Why is GEJ always looking like a suspect?

ahaha SW people oya OBJ turn don cook, that is if this news is not craap as usual

Abbeysupar:
So what are we saying now?are we saying that our economy has crumbled or about to.

About to

pendusky:
Do you really understand that? Federal Govt have their road marked, they cant be new, so repairing and reconstruction is the same thing as building a new road because they remove the old one and build a new one. You are telling me that the East-West road which you have seen the pics is a repair road?

Guy leave these people maybe when he pulls down his father's house and build a new one it would be termed repair.

blkmum700:
only China devalued their currency few years ago and you can see the opposition from western countries if you follow the news,China devalued yen to gain trade advantage over others China is an exporting country and will gain more,Nigeria is fuc.king importing everything,won't work for us.

Go and read history .the highest devaluation of currency war done by Germany after the 2nd world war.

kITATITA:
Someone please educate me; is there any country in a monolith economy that got better after currency devaluation

yes plenty, instead of staying on nairaland ask google, America,china,Uk Germany all did

Hi all, can you please help with this issue or give a suggestion, have got fog light on my bumper that is always, its connected to work with the headlights and not stand alone. problem the bulb usually burns out after a long trip or after a while. what is the possibilty of;
1. getting a good DRL in place of this ordinary bulb to work independently with car starting or,
2. getting a good grade bulb to connect to parking light.
bottom line is i just need the lights to last and work alone independent of the headlights. Any good rewire/tech in house that you can recommend.

Cc: Ikenna, Sienna... thanks (car is a camry 2000/01)

Most proper reason, while installing teh Bulb you are not meant to have contact with the bulb glass part, as this creates heat points,which eventually burns out a hole and allows the tungsten to oxidize.
When installing the next one make sure fingers do not come in contact with bulb, only hold the metal part that fuses into the lamp holder,cover teh glass bit with tissue or some comes with a foamy bit round them most of the times.if this doesn't wrk then you have an electrical problem

I thought some ekpas claimed that Fashola said GEJ built 25,000km of very good roads? They claimed that Fashola said GEJ built more roads than every other Nigerian president, 25,000km of standard beautiful road, yet in my entire constituency in the SE and even the SS, they can't point out a single road which was started and completed by GEJ. And then sensible humans begin to wonder where these 25,000km of very good roads were built.

GEJ was indeed a curse to Nigeria, not just because of his ineffectual leadership, but rather because of the way the irrational love for gim has totally messed up the minds of a majority of south easterners.

But he did,it was o n channels news and various main stream media in nigeria

When the Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo made a claim last week that PDP did not construct any single New Road throughout their 16 infamous years in power... Some people who are yet to recover from their political miscalculation in the last election, came for his head, branding him a liar and also circulated pictures of less than 150 Km REHABILITATED Benin-Ore as their Only defence...

However, that is not the basis of this thread.
I am from the South Eastern Part of the Country and one of the most neglected regions of the country by the past governments...

These roads I am going to unveil thus, lead directly to my State from other parts of the contra, depending on the route one chooses to ply...But unfortunately the roads are in a very bad and unmotorable state...

There is no way one will pass thru these roads without dropping and heaping curses on the past governments, especially goodLUCK EBELE Azikiwe Jonathan, our adopted Son, in whom we hugely supported and still being regarded as our best...

Take a look at these Pictures:

1. Onitsha- Enugu- Portharcourt Expressway


2. Aba-Ikot-Ekpene-Uyo Expressway..

This is why you guys are very backwards, instead of you now to draw the attention of the present day FG to look into your plight you are here criticizing someone who's govt did the bit they could and long gone,lets see waht this new govt will do,but with your frame of mind you will only criticize them 2019.Go and ask PMB to do something about the rd b4 you repeat same story 2019
