Why do you Nigerians celebrate rehabilitated roads? WHY??

Are you guys normal at all? 😡🤔

What is there to celebrate about this road?
For a man that can't pay minimum wage.

Tellmeastory:
Is it beyond you people to build your streets like this?

This is not London. It's Kigali, Rwanda who have no oil.

Stop this senseless comparison. Have you been to Kigali in your life? Kigali is not even up to the size of Kano city. And that dictator is going for another term.

So, you want the governor not to rehabilitate the roads...at all, because, ?

You missed my question oga.

nairalanda1:
Both Ogun and Abia have low money, and also are not building good enough infrastructure...as seen in the road above.

The problem is, your states are poor. Abia that you are praising, the fact is,....it could be much better. Same for Ogun.

That is why you guys should start looking for leaders that would get you producing. And then we can start from there.

Me, I no longer decieve myself with 'infrastructure projects'. It is one thing to build road...to maintain am, na another thing. That is not a function of 'allawee from abuja' (IGR in NIgeria is useless....until it enters trillions of naira in states like Borno, and even your Abia and Ogun then we can talk...somehow)>


MOdifed

For the record...Ogun has 120 billion, Abia 20 billion naira. That is not much money in the big picture...yes the 120billion naira even.

Note that I ain't defending Ogun government uselessness. Or attacking Abia. Just pointing out that your states are poor...and the corruption makes it worse.

Abia state is building infrastructure with its IGR which is much lower than Ogun state IGR but Ogun state is not building any infrastructure.. Infact mentioning Abia state in the same sentence with Ogun state should be an insult to Ogun state and its indigenes...

Ogun state is richer than Abia state but Ogun state has bad infrastructures everywhere...

Abia state IGR is small compared to Ogun state jumbo IGR...

it is not about producing... it is about the will to build things...

how can you produce with bad infrastructure everywhere

Yes

It appears Nigerians use their brains for something else, their brains are clearly used differently....lol

omooba969:

Nope.

Yes, we all are cynical about what the government does, but there are times when they do what they are suppsoed to do, so hail them .

Even then, our governors can do better, and the fact is, Nigeria needs a government that can make more money.

Until both states and others too, including my own state...are making at least 5 trillion, and have better tax to gdp then we can talk.

Till then, I don't have much regard for them...


And until your state government charges council taxes of at least 100000 naira monthly to maintain those good infeastructure...they will spoil in 5 years time

We have seen it too many times....and we are tired of seeing it.

God bless Abia. God's own state

All these MuMu Otti errand boys ..
Tell am to increase staff welfare and salaries and stop bimonthly verification..

Make una stupidity end

Okoroawusa:
It still doesn't look like the best of roads.

don't say this in aba they will kill you,do you know how this people has suffered,you talking about best of road,24 years of pdp they had nothing,better say this in the comfort of your papas parlour

Bitterkola100:

Otti no wan make Abia workers enjoy at all..
D man just dey try recoup money wey e spend during the times he lost..

Naija bad roads will make u buy fake parts taya.

Abians should be happy this

This administration is better than the last two administration

so it looked best before it was worked on

God bless this present governor everything dey move well for Abia state e remain insecurity

naijapips04:
So this road and ordinary local government chairman dey fix for other states without noise is what Otti is borrowing billions to make noise about?

See ur bend bend mouth

Depriest2020:
Doesn't look like it will last, gutters already filled with dirts.

It is the duty of the citizens and residents to drain and cleanup the drainage.
The governor don try reach, he wont be the one to come and clean the drainage for them.

Our Lagos worst pass this one.

SensetionalGoal:
At least otti is working just admit it and move on okoroawusa!

Shebi rainy season is coming. We will know the truth then

States don't need to have better tax to GDP or 5 trillion to build infrastructure in the state..

The government does not need to charge council taxes of at least 100000 naira monthly to build infrastructure..

State governments can build farms and export the farm products and increase their IGR, states can build tolled roads to increase their IGR, states can build resorts to increase their IGR, states can build tech companies to increase their IGR.. states don't have to tax anyone to increase IGR.

This is about Abia state with tiny IGR outperforming Ogun state with high IGR and that is due to Ogun state corruption and lack of will to build infrastructure around the state..

Stop defending Ogun state corruption and mediocrity...

Ngwamankillyou2:
By 4 years to come all these nairaland miscreants attacking Abia will be on their way to our dear state with nylon bag.

But the problem we face is to screen them because they are exposed to Lagos HIV/AIDS...we can't let them in.

better wait till rainy season before you start bragging

so what's special about this?even ilorin, kwara state has better landscapes. I'm a landlord on taiwo Road ilorin and it has better landscape.

This rod is not clear in my eyes...looks like it open again in no time.!

Oti is doing well in terms of urban renewal and infrastructure especially in Aba. However, he should pay civil servants including Abia State University staff who keep complaining of many months of unpaid salaries and pensions.

That's why I can't get you guys to see what I see...everything for you is tribe.

You feel as if I am here to attack your tribe. Well I am not, but since you no want to see....

NIgerian states need to charge more tax, and ye need to demand better from all your governors...FACT.

iF YOU don't like it, or see it as me attacking your tribe, when I am attacking BOTH OGUN AND ANAMBRA AND ALL THE OTHER STATES, then sorry.

Better wake up. You can get better and deserve better than your 'I built roads governor.'.

Even my state where they have 'done things'..yawn.

Just like Eleyi One of Ogun State is building multi storey flyovers abi?

You missed the question boss.

Why do you guys celebrate the rehabilitation of roads?

Mediocrity every single time.

You build street road, no pedestrian walking. No single road marking. Open gutters. No commitment to proper drainage.

Mediocrity every single place you look.
