I just left Ebonyi state for Anambra... I wish i was in the position to make videos.
Apart from the fact that vehicle does not accelerate smoothly on the concrete road,Afiko to Okigwe road that was built just last year is now a mess. The concert has crack allover with pot holes...

Can you name the construction company handling the project you just posted?? Or better still name any capital project you know in Ebonyi and the construction company handling it?
Sorry to say Ebonyi projects are being over hyped. Even the airport is being handled by local labourers using bamboo for scaffolding. if you doubt me; name the construction company handling the airport project as we all know that Anambra airport is being handled by Craneburg, Nike flyover Enugu is being constructed by IDC.
Apart from the first 2 flyovers Umahi built in Ebonyi state, others are poorly and locally constructed by local labourers. Go there and see things for yourself... Starting from the beam to the walls of the flyover are carelessly casted with rough surface... This is why he is covering the finished work surface with PVC plastic panel in the name of beautification.

Till tomorrow asphalt road is far better than concrete road.

Oga you're disgracing yourself what stops you from taking the picture of the bad road you're talking about? I'm from urum in awka north but all governor umahi projects is world class,it doesn't matter if he use unknown company or known. All his flyover, roads, shopping mall are top class please stop your evny.

Mad man from the backward useless worthless ebonyi state. Ofcourse you dare not respond to me because I will disgrace you and your backward state here. Tell your governor to take your people that are hawking at Upper Iweka. Useless bunch of illiterate miscreants.

Just look at this nonsense that looks like rice milling plant. No major retail outlets like shoprite have agreed to go there, because it will be a bad business. How many people in ebonyi can afford to shop in shoprite, when the poverty level in ebonyi is over 80%. Useless miscreants

Freeglobe posting ebonyi picture online does not make me less Anambra, my family stayed in Abakaliki for 50years before they move back to awka and their house is still in Abakaliki till today. I was born and brought up in Abakaliki.

I can even smell your ebonyi smells from here. You can never be from Awka or even anywhere in Anambra. Anambra has no direct boundaries with your backward ebonyi, but you awusa people from ebonyi state traveled thousands of kilometres to land in Anambra. There are more population of ebonyi people living in Anambra than the population of ebonyi people living in ebonyi state. So it is very easy for an ebonyi indigene to claim to be indigene of Anambra because the only home they knew has always been Anambra.

Inferiority complex worry abakiliki people a lot. You are showing pics that don't reflect the true reality on ground in a backward state like ebonyi here on Anambra thread, is it for Anambra to accept abikiliki people as Igbos or what?

Biafrarep:


Don't mind those guys, because it was done by Umahi, the governor of a supposed poor state, then it must be village, local and not good enough.

Many of them have not driven on those roads but they will be condemning it with so much passion. One even said driving on it will spoil car, so it would be better if it was filled with potholes and gullies than smooth concrete? Another one rushed to bring YouTube videos from Ghana as the real deal, yet he forgot that Ghana is a country with access to international loans and foreign exchange earnings unlike Ebonyi that is just a state in Nigeria with very little resources at its disposal.

Rubbish!!

This just the point!

Abeg my pple make una dey travel and see biko.

I was a steady traveller on that route most times when I go by road down to CrossRiver’s quarry/cement sites at Akamkpa. Umahi roads are solid...his flyovers too are very solid.

You’re giving same energy dey gave our airport.

Mehn no name dem no give our airport. One said na abattoir,,d other said is poultry house.
We thank God our Airport has come to manifestation...more to come

ChimaAdeoye:
The reason I endorse concrete roads over asphalt roads in the journey to pave more roads are that;

1. They are cheaper and much more durable than asphalt (Especially when reinforced with small steel bars).
2. The can easily be built by low-skilled artisans because all you need are stones, cement, water, and wooden planks to retain the area for the concrete to harden.
3. Average 1KM asphalt road costs about N300 - N500 million naira, while average 1KM concrete road costs about N30 - N50 Million naira.

Therefore, for a cash-strapped developing country looking to deploy paved roads to reach as many locations as possible, concrete roads are the solution. You simply should not use the amount to construct 10KM of the concrete road to build just 1KM of asphalt road. Which ironically lasts half the lifetime of concrete roads.

Efforts to achieve a very high-quality finish on concrete roads should be ensured by the supervisor. It is not a reason to reject the proven technology.

On point

We don't need such cheap and corner cutting projects in Anambra.

If at-all there is anyone Soludo should emulate in terms of infrastructural project... He should emulate Dr. Chris Ngige (The formal governor of Anambra State) at least the result is there for everyone to see.

Comewhatmay, Asphalt road remain the best when it's well built.

Pics below: Ebonyi flyover. Take a close look at the beam. They are not even straight. They are not only covering the poor work with aluminum panel but also put parallel barricades on the flyover...

After that mall is completed it will automatically become the largest in Nigeria, Igbo pride and point of hate for others.

Nobody can compare asphalt with concrete especially in its advantages to moist retaining, clay like Igbo land soil.

I remember listening to one seminar when I was in Bini and the structural engineer proposed that unlike the Northern part of Nigeria where asphalt is OK, for a lasting road to be done in the east that the contractora must make use of concrete (and that was almost 4 years before Umahi became Governor).

I think that man's degree is not for fancy. Seeing him implement what took someone years of research shows that he did his homework before embarking on it.

The attitude of some of these guys claiming to be Igbo can be very disgusting. I don't know if it's just inferiority complex or just crab mentality. If Umahi were to be from outside Igboland, they would have been using him as yardstick for good governance.

Ndi uchu!!

If my memory serve me well, the Structural engineer holding the seminar said that Igboland actually have no business with asphalt, except as a top for a very thick solid slab else it will be like sticking glue to wet substance.

And also he said that the life span of the two places concrete ahead plus concrete requires less maintenance.

Asphalt will require more maintenance every 3 or something years and will last for less than 20 years (average of 10-20 years depending on the maintenance), that is if the maintenance is followed religiously (something I think we cant boast of in Africa) but Concrete requires less maintenance (maybe whenever) and occasionally topping but will last up to 50 years

So you see, no matter how much many will try to soil Umahi name or his peculiar achievement in that concrete road, one thing is certain, in the next 20 years Ebonyi will be one of the few or only Igbo state to boast of working road because at that time, all our asphalt has wearied out and politicians will start using it for campaign.

Forgive them. I don't think they know what they are doing.

It is a general something. Just like this throwing Igala jabs at Anambra was actually started by the same Igbo people here who are not from Anambra but now e dey shame everybody including them. Some even take it to the next level by saying Obiano is Igala.
Same with the Beautiful Obiano's Airport looking like a ware house.

This is why they say never defame your brother in public because the person you are telling it to will use it to laugh at you.

Remember this word he used to describe the Mall, it will be used by enemies of Ndigbo in few months time when it will be unveiled as the biggest in Nigeria.

Largest rice mill, you are correct

RCC used concrete as a sub base on the roads that Ngige built and the road they are constructing from Umunya. Same with the company that reconstructed old Enugu road.

But the reason many street roads collapse is poor drainage and poor soil stabilisation. The local contractors compact the soil and overlay it with asphalt. Water does not run off completely but sometimes collects. Eventually during the rainy season when the water level rises and then falls during the dry season the soil underneath changes shape and cracks appear and then pot holes.

There are also places where the soil has high clay content such as the oji axis and amansea. Clay soil retains water and has poor load bearing capacity. To construct roads in such places requires doing what RCC did at Ore which is excavate the clay and replace it with a stronger sub grade.

Soludo govt should do a state wide soil mapping if it has not been done. This will help determine what materials to use to construct roads, drainage system and erosion mitigation. They should also reform the Ministry of Works, partner with external donors, bring in experts, staff it with qualified engineers to construct local roads and drainage systems according to proper engineering specifications.

In terms of drainage, they should replace gutters with underground hdpe drainage pipes. Install water, sewage and cable pipes alongside them. Let it be a 30 year project building out a proper city wide integrated underground drainage, water and sewage system for Awka, Nnewi and Onitsha.

Mktinsight the useless frustrated jobless hopeless old man, no one needs your advice. You are older than Soludo, your mates are contesting elections while you are sitting on nairaland like a duck spewing out of point.

Ö si nö ‘you’re older than Soludo’

Imaxdocuments be calming down no be fight biko

By the grace of the almighty, at the assumption of office,Soludo should embark on a radical road reconstruction beginning from the state capital which is also a vital part that mirrors Anambra state and then to Onitsha and then to Nnewi et al

The three power houses of Anambra should have their roads fixed. If Soludo fixes those roads...our pple will push him for 3rd term sef

Yea, Anambra has abundant road networks but the question we should be asking is this,’are they motorable enough?’
Honestly I can’t wait for Soludo to start his magic. March 2022 seems too far

So it has gotten to the level of you Nigerians acting film for us on Nairaland like you do on our streets these days.

Offline, you Shameless Nigerians play actor and boss films where herdsmen act as Unknown Gunmen while the other terrorist act as soldiers shooting them.

Now you two monkeys, are here to act Ngwá vs Anambra film.

The Northern baboon is claiming Ngwá while the Ile Ibinu monkey is claiming Anambra.

Lol. You Nigerians are simply simple and unreasonable
