It's a good idea but I have some reservations about it.
One is frictional drag on the vehicles. Frictional resistance on the tyres will be greater thereby slowing the car down considerably requiring the driver to apply more torque to move faster with increased fuel consumption as the attendant effect.

If it is coated with asphalt, then it would still be vulnerable to faults and cracks hence potholes would surface in no time. Though the depth of the potholes won't be as deep as using asphalt on compacted earth.

The wear on vehicle tires would be much more due to increased friction. Such technology as well as the use of interlock should be limited to inner city roads like streets and all because of durability. It's use on the highway and interstate however would have higher economic disadvantages especially on users as millions would be spent daily by users on car maintenance.

Just my humble opinion.

Show us video where Okorocha said that. Don’t come and wail on NL n don’t send me senseless website from Ipob, PDP n foolish Igbos.

Video where he shamelessly stated the quote.

A simple Google search doesn't cost much. If you didn't see the video, then you are not up to date as far as Naija news is concerned. It was all over the news.

So this is what we are suppose to be celebrating in Nigeria OP! This road is death trap!

Any road less than 50km is not worth celebrating!

Any road less than 200meters width, with no corridors, no side works, no streetlights, no interchanges, no highway direction boards, no road markings, no drainge is not worth news!

OP, This is 21st century. Building a road is no innovation. The internet is a very broad network consisting of millions of users within and outside your narrow brain range. Please stop disgracing us!

Kindly read what you wrote there again. You don't have to try to sound smart.
For one, this is a country road. A road linking villages and a lot of times won't have drainage for the most part except select locations identified for flash floods.
Secondly, you only saw a section of the road and you are ranting about interchanges, direction boards, streetlights. Really? A road linking communities and you are talking about interchanges and streetlights?
Even though the op may have exaggerated a bit due to excitement, it still doesn't warrant the bile you spat up there.

Heyah! The wife has beat common sense outta him. It's not him talking, maybe it's the wife.

But on a serious note, how can a strong soldier like obj beget a wuss of a son? If not for the trademark "basin " mouth I won't believe this is obj's seed. But then again, maybe it's obj's uniform that elevated him.

Betnaija things. Check all the sports betting shops. He has probably spent it on betting and ran away from home. I"ve heard of cases like that.

And the stupid corper Jide published her name?

But wait o! As poor as buhari's family is, an ordinary ADC defrauded them of N2,500,000,000? Common bodyguard? God abeg! End Nigeria. Please just allow buhari to look for north Korea trouble so that Kim can just dash Naija one nuclear strike. One can't keep hearing all these things and remain helpless.

You are lucky he didn't swallow the ear.

Some people will read this and will still say that Ambode’s 2nd term is about Tinubu’s greed. From all indications, Ambode didn’t live up to expectations, both at party level and at the citizens level, so the question is, why should he be given a second term, when his first term has so many negatives?

My question is why did it take Ambode's rift with Tinubu for guys like you to realize that Ambode hasn't done well? I thought he was the best performing governor before now up until a couple of months ago?

All I saw here on NL was Ambode is working...abule egba, epe, iyana ipaja...folks were just reeling out achievements like a surveyor's tape. What changed?

Oh I get it! This is the Buordillon effect!

Na wao! Gmelina trees that are in almost every primary school in the east? 250mil per hectare? Nigerians need to rise up. Wake up from slumber.

blueAgent:
Did US lose any of this War's you mentioned?

They lost Vietnam war, they lost in somalia. Russia lost in Afghanistan. Go back in history and ignore propaganda. It is a well known fact.

This is the most sensible post on this topic. Unlike say UK or US where politicians have ideologies, our politicians are just in it for themselves, and will join any platform that offers them the best chance. She wanted to try her luck in APGA and saw that her chances were slim to none, so went back to PDP which might give her a better chance of success. They all do it, and their performance after election is all the same: woeful.

The only party that has a clear cut ideology in Nigeria is APC...ideology of hunger.

deboysben:
Come to think of it how this fat fool left pdp barely 3 months to apga and return back again.



This is political rascality at the peak.

She is a pretty lady not a fat fool. This is election time, so expect a lot more Cross carpeting.

deboysben:
Shame no dey for this woman's bag

Cross carpeting is a normal feature in Nigerian politics, don't take it to heart. The politicians are the same people they are irrespective of the party they belong. Parties are like garments, your garments don't change your personality. They only serve to boost your appearance...for a while.

Now y'all can see why I have no atom of respect for Nigerian soldiers. Big bullies! The way I feel when armed robbers are killed is how I feel when boko Haram deals with them...indifferent.

Once you join the armed forces in Nigeria, the common civilian automatically becomes your enemy that you must conquer. What a shame. Bunch of misfits!

wildkat:
I love the tactical maneuvers u just mentioned. Are u aware the US has and renews its tactical maneuvers for a Third World War? They're always prepared. Though the US and Russia have never really confronted each other, if not by proxy wars like the gulf war of 1990-92. The Russians provided the Iraqis with all sorts of weapons, logistics, tactics/maneuvers to humiliate the US, but American tactics rubbished all what Russia had on ground for Iraq. Infact the Gulf war was an eye opener to the Russians that they needed to sit up, because almost all their weapons and tactics found it hard to score a point against the US. Moreover, how many times have u seen or heard the US advertising their weapons or matching in squares, saluting missiles, just as Russia and North Korea does? The US has the deadliest weapons both chemical and hardware in their arsenals. And when it comes to tactics and logistics, my broda Russia still dey learn.

However both countries are the most powerful. But one pass the other

The same noise was made during Vietnam war, same during invasion of somalia. Same mistake Russia made in Afghanistan. With all their tech prowess and maneuvers, what happened?
Naturally, israel and Palestine no be mates, but what happened over a decade ago? We just pray that such a day never surfaces when Russia and US or China etc will have to square it off. It will be mutually assured destruction.
With all the Nukes in stock all around the world, nobody is a write off.

Trust any news from buhari's govt at your own peril. This may just be another way to siphon some $$ for election. After all they initially said it was activities of miners.

Now a U-turn has been made and it's now seismic activity. Opportunists.

Johnboom:
You may have a point, but Russia will not mess with USA, main while USA mess with them northing happened. Do you hear what Israel did to one of their weapon of recent. Wake up from your dream bro.

No dream here my brother. Just facts. In international diplomacy, there must be aggressions and one doesn't react to every aggression.
It takes wisdom to select your fights carefully. None of them can afford an all out war now, not US, not Russia, not Israel. There'll be a lot of grandstanding but nothing sufficient yet to provoke a full scale war. Whenever you are mentioning US/Russia confrontations, just know that there's always the EU/israel mix in the scenario.
Russia mostly acts alone with China and the other axis just standing by the sidelines. Their involvement is mostly a promise, not a fulfilment.

wildkat:
True talk oo oga. But at the end of the day, no compare Russia with US oo. person wey pass u pass u. The US lives and breathes for weapons

Never underestimate anybody based on their size or perceived deficiency in capabilities. US was thoroughly embarrassed in Vietnam and Japan and even somalia. Russia was thoroughly frustrated in Afghanistan. Israel was embarrassed by Palestine just a few years ago. Warfare doesn't necessarily mean you go about bombing civilians, there are rules of engagement.
Russia doesn't make noise. They don't feel the need to, but when they make threats, everybody pays attention.
Same with China who is more interested in dominating the world through a more subtle means...economy.

US issues threats Everytime and the problem with that is that at some point, someone is bound to dare you and call your bluff and when there is a semblance of balance of power, standoffs and threats turn to negotiations.

If anything history has taught us that not all wars are won on the strength of a military might. Many are won when there's singleness of purpose and tactical maneuvers.

Welrez:
Well, Russia may be up there, but they are not really as good as the US.

My dear, the major difference is propaganda! Who makes the loudest noise. Just like in Yoruba fights, it's who makes the most noise that wins not who punches harder. It almost never occurs. Just put on a mean face, make bogus threats, clench fists and make body movements. That's all. No punch.
That's US and Russia.

The most important part of a marriage is the parents consent as symbolized by the acceptance of dowry or bride price. Ceremony or no ceremony. The rest is jara.

Christians also need to learn to separate Jewish/Oyinbo traditions and culture from our African traditions and culture. We infuse Jewish and oyinbo traditions into christianity, then we call our own traditions fetish or archaic or mundane. Such is the practice of today's Nigerian Christian and it is fueled by all these fine boy pastors and con artists.

Some churches will tell you that you must do white wedding before traditional as traditional is seen as unclean and fetish. Such ignorance.

A marriage is already blessed by God once dowry is paid and accepted. Go and read your Bible, don't rely on what the con artist priest says.

Why are some people this wicked? "Madam palm wine powerless!" Zebrudaya o! God bless you for this !

I thank God he didn't kill any civilian. That's all they know how to do.

Cockk and bulll story

Psychology departments in Nigerian universities should do well to include APC as a case study for mass hypnotism in their curriculum.
Yesterday Ambode was doing well and the best performing governor in Nigeria, today he is a nonentity not because of his failures, but because baba said so. They cite LAWMA saga as one of his misgivings for " removing food from boys' mouth to chop". But visionscape employs thousands of people at the same time.
This isn't about good governance, but a revenge mission by those who feel he hasn't allowed them free access to the till. Yet they are the first to scream corruption in other quarters. The sad thing is that, the majority of the supporters are zombies with no benefits whatsoever coming to them from their denial of good governance. All that matters to them is that Baba from buordillon has decreed it.

APC supporters are the walking dead. Their brand or specie of zombieism is yet to be determined.

In other words, they want to extend one man's influence from buordillon to kwarra

fallout87:
Fake news.

It's Buhari, his cabal and Tinubu who masterminded this foolish plan to arrest a Governorship aspirant days before election.

They are only backtracking because the backlash they will receive internationally.

Anyways, the damage is done.

What this APC government represents is nothing but tyranny and evil. If Adeleke can manage to defeat military might and massive rigging, they will use this nonsense as fall back plan to remove him through backdoor.

Pathetic wicked party.

Look son! It's called politics. No hard feelings. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. If Adeleke's hands are clean, he need not fret.

topeayan:
My region South West presently has poor fund managers as our Governors. I think FG needs to control excessive borrowing this is too much jare.

South West is in the pockets of one man that is why you have such a high liability ratio with little to show for it except Lagos and partly Ogun. I pity the next governor of Osun state whoever he may be. He would only continue the borrowing as I don't see what could drive IGR in that state presently and sufficiently to service these debts. Na wao! Osun is always a subject of bailout, yet staff salary is owed upwards of three years. What are these loans used for then if it can't drive revenue generation?

Fake! Southern African steeple are even more gullible than their Nigerian counterparts.
