You have a fair point there, but that doesn't mean we should keep mute about these situations and act like they don't concern us or that, nothing good can come out of acts like this. The only way evil can triumph in a society is when good people do nothing about it. We need to go beyond propaganda and start off a course for justice. We can't continue like this!

If you read through my very first post keenly, then asking the question you gave deserves a rhetoric. This is nothing personal. It bothers us all. Even if you dont ply that route, there is no saying you don't have a relation who frequents the road. Hence, what i seek to achieve by this thread is to ask every Nairalander (certainly not everyone will respond nor have answers to my challenge) who has pictures of the road to post here. And even if you do not have at the moment, whenever u pass through the road, it takes nothing from you to get a picture of the devastation that road has become. Thus, showing the govt the state of the road is a collective task of all concerned citizens.

More pictures.

Kobojunkie:
@Poster, how exactly are you showing the Government the deplorable state of the roads??

Is this a question?

Why are u guys behaving like Madridistas with the way you rant and grind over each other? Pls, this sudden behaviour is unbecoming of a true cule. We are a class act, and that is what we stand for.

I thought this road was fixed just before the election - How many times will they attempt to fix this road.

Guess u know better.

More.

Benin-Ore road. Gully on a highway

Benin-Ore express road.

The state of the Nigerian polity is best explained by way of drawing close attention to the challenges faced by its citizens. Nigeria is doomed, I must confess. And as sad as it is, the solution to the many problems is very simple and affordable; if only everyone can stop being 'greedy' and live for the common good.
I travelled to port-Harcourt yesterday to make a product delivery. Despite that, the product is clean and not contra-banned, one still had to 'settle' policemen and mopol. Imagine the no of check points from Lagos to pH and how many policemen that "robbed" one off 50 naira and 100 naira. The guess u make is as good as mine. Aside the police ppl, the roads are deplorable. So bad! And u might ask, why do u have to settle wen u goods are clean? But then, who wants to be delayed? Imagine a police officer asking for custom duty? That is silly!

However the reason for this thread is just so we make comments, share pictorial experiences of the highways in Nigeria. God, those roads are death traps. No wonder, costs of transportation increases all the time inspite of a constant price of petrol over the last 2 yrs or so. And pls, enuf of this "God help us" crap. Only weaklings and unseriius ppl settle for such expressions. Its our fight and not God's. God does not promote corruption. We shouldn't make mockery of God.

Its a known fact, most of our leaders don't use the roads. They go by flight. As such, given the wide popularity of Nairaland it is my belief that they can easily come across whatever feelings we air out here. Now, your contributions.

There is no way this is Craig David. The mofo in the picture looks like one aba trader. Hahahaha

Hey Mcleo007. Thanks for your response. I'm looking for a tailor for my personal use. Is the phone number you provided your number or the tailor's?

Yeah, the number is mine. Call and I'll direct u to him. He sews both male and female. Btw, do u stay in Lagos? The tailor stays arnd ketu while.

I'm interested.

Funny thread.

Like someone has pointed out, its good you point out in clear terms what it is u want. Are u a designer with a fashion label, and looking for tailors to employ or u just want a reliable tailor u can always call for ur tailoring services? Whichever category u fall under, there are tailors to suit ur need.

I run a clothing line that deals with corporate african wears, western (office shirts), suits and boxers. All we produce are ready made. Call me, 07033801718

Big ups bro. Dont relent, and always keep up the repping.

Ok.

Prices ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Don't think there is any reason per se. Perhaps, not a lot of black guys have been in contact with Arab chicks. And the cultural differences between both race may be another factor to look at. Anyway, @op if ur're Arab and got a chick to spare, i can give you my contact so you hook me up with one.

Dude is not bad actually. He can do better anyway. Me believe the most thing every Nigerian wish for, is regular power supply. With this in place, every other facet of the economy will have a strong kick.

That was a steal. Rosell just pulled off one of the biggest heist in the history of football. I was first against the deal because of the rumoured 40m we were gonna pay but I think it's a fantastic deal now.
Sanchez, probably, was the most wanted guy this summer and to get him for the price we got him is really a great business.
  He's an excellent winger. He is bringing a lot of pace into our side which is something we currently lack. Lots of tricks as well. He does a lot of backtracking too which makes him the ideal Barcelona man. He loves to cut-in from the flanks and shoot(something we hardly ever do) and he shoots quite well. He can also play as a centre-forward.
His stats last season for Udinese were bloody impressive:
Apps: 27(4)
Goals: 12
Assists: 6
He was the best player in Serie A last season.
Can't wait to see him in action. Hopefully, he'll hit the ground running.

Correction bro, Sanchez rarely tracks back, something that occasionally puts his side in trouble back at Udinese. Hope he emulates the hard-working Pedro who doesn't feel reluctant to track back whenever the need arises.

Relationship is more exclusive than friendship. Arguably, both are similar in a sense.

@op, i can arrange a stud for you if thats what your're out for.
