In describing his 14 hour road trip from Abuja to the Benin-Sapele road, Umahi says: "We came to a point where we have trucks parked on the pavement for over 5 kilometres."

Which pavement is the man talking about? Where is it? undecided

Umahi goes on to say: "I have agreed with the commissioner of Works, Edo State (the young man that is standing near me) - they will open the drains immediately so that the water will all go out and then the contractor will maintain the roads."

Which drains? Does anyone see any drains in this video? undecided

Was this just a question of poor phrasing or this man is indeed living in an alternate reality? undecided

Agbadorians are the most stvpid set of humans that their government can never be trusted. Umahi may be good but likely to fail under the agbadorian government. Forget all these grammars. Fashola made more noise. The end justifies the means

Personally I think PDP were in a dicey position... Only a powerful Politician like AA can go head to Head with Tinubu and Buhari's ACN/CPC ... PDP had always been fair to SouthEast
Did he win? Did obi not perform better than him with an unknown party. If not for what happened in Rivers and Akwa Ibom, Obi came at least second in that election.
Northern PDP just played clear, tribal politics just to spite Igbos as usual. Saying Igbos can't win Presidency 'for now'. The same thing led to Buhari's coup of 1983. The fear was a potential Ekwueme Presidency.

Umahi is trying so hard not to speak ill of the immediate minister and the immediate past administration, but you could tell, he's dissatisfied with the state of roads and shabby works done by the minister without engineering knowledge


We still refused to understand that ex governors has nothing to offer as a minister..

I say this because Nigeria should not turn a section of the country that has produced some of her best brains into outcasts and expect to progress.
Do you honestly think that a Peter Obi Presidency would have been business as usual?
An Igbo man will find a way to bring tribe into everything, what are your brains made of?
Wike is suddenly not an Ikwere man anymore, he is suddenly an Igbo...

You have a point... I have always held the position that the 80s coup was simply to stop Shagari handing over to Dr Ekwueme

Nobody would had predicted Obi's dogged performance, he would have won if he had the right popular NorthWestern Vice

So I really think Desperation to win at all cost made PDP force Atiku on the Party

I accept you criticism of Fashola who then do you give the credit to his superb performance in Lagos ? Note that Tinubu Ambode n Sanwolu are yet to accomplish half of what he accomplished as governor.

As governor only Fashola worked on substantial inner road around Lagos n buy water treatment plant the others no look the side of the latter at all.


oz4real83:
not entirely correct. Who don useless, don useless. If three ministries were merged and given to Fashola, all may not have had significant improvements but there should have been one of those ministries to point at that had improvements, unfortunately, none shocked. He was very vocal before getting the position that it doesn't take rocket science to fix power, did he fulfill what he boasted about? He became useless immediately he left as governor, unfortunately, he always spoke the loudest embarassed

So This Road Umahi is yet to construct he will be using his personal money or Igbo money. This is why reasoning with foolish igbos like you annoys me. Everybody know Fashola under performed for whatever but denying him of the credit of the little be did just shows you are hatefilled bitter bigots.

This Umahi everybody be it Yoruba Hausa Fulani is saluting as not constructed 0.2 metre not to talk of a single km of road I hope you know ?

Oga second Niger bridge was awarded long before Fashola emerged minister and it was on PPP arrangement, so not even Buhari could have twarted the project. Julius Berger would toll the road. Fashola input there was merely supervisory

Exactly. Combining those three and appointing a SAN to head it shows how empty Buhari is.

Imagine appointing an engineer as minister of justice or say attorney general of the federation.

Nigerians love to lament after the fact but can never get things done in the heat of the moment.

We were all here (except those just graduating from kindergarten and earning their first phones) when this issue arose in 2015 and the talk then was that 'it doesn't matter', and the fans were vocal in saying the ministerial post was an administrative one and I quote, 'did not require the ability (know how) to carry a shovel'.

They said it was Mr. President's right to appoint whomsoever he wanted. And then the national assembly, the final safety feature, the airbag of good governance was turned off courtesy of yes men led by an agama lizard. Shey 'cooperation' is synonymous with success abi? We said it all back then.

A nation that does not have a thriving democracy where wide, dissenting views are not regarded with cautionary values will always stumble from one pit to the other.

The state of Nigeria reflects our values and our knowledge. Both sub par.

Past behaviours is the best way to predict the future..... since umahi started politics how many roads have been built by him or other politicians that have lasted a minimum of 6 months?

As a governor which road did he build that lasted 6 months?

To cut long story short I m don hammer with all this talk of road this and that.... a few billions coming into his pocket


I mean when you go work do you announce say you dey go finish the report, start your work, or even announce wetin you want to for the day at work to your colleagues talkless of boss ( we citizens are the boss to umahi)...

They say if you are sitting in a table with 5 people and if you can't figure out who the mugu is in 5 seconds, then that means you are the mugu.

Actually Fashola paid the Counterpart funds before contractors were mobilized, and he superzised the project from start to finish... So that technically makes it his project

And he had made it clear that the initial design of the bridge wasn't use, and a new one was designed

Because that was the terms of the agreement before he came in. And that was during GEJ's administration

He would have had a strong VP (Tambulwal) if PDP gave it to him. PDP will remain a dead party until they recognise the Igbos. Unfortunately, so will Nigeria.
If you want to build a strong entity, ensure no key stakeholder is left behind.

with the little i heard from the HM David Umahi, I can tell u all for free that this man knows what he is doing. As an hydrogeologist and engineering geologist, am pleased with his explanation and the need to carry out some test on d road b4 designing and construction and contract should be given to a registered engineers. concrete pavement is the way forward too. if na 3 govt can do, let them do it and leave the rest for next govt.

Ikwere is a subgroup of Igbo. Not that you don't know, just that you want to act dumb. Amechi is Ikwere too, curious you didn't mention him.
Also curious that you are talking about tribe when all your politics is tribal
