Bad Road: Obi Recounts Difficulties He Encountered Traveling To Edo By Road by DamnnNiggarr(op): 11:49am On Nov 03, 2024
Today, again, I came face to face with the deplorable state of Nigeria roads as my desire to join a great friend and brother, Gen Cecil Esekhaigbe, in Esan Central of Edo State, who was burying his mother was marred by bad roads.
I had set out at 8 am by road to Esanland to join him and bid his beloved mother, Mrs. Ebaidebheki Esakhaigbe, farewell, but little did I know that it would be a mission impossible.

Due to my previous experience with bad roads, while going to the place previously through Benin, I decided to avoid that route entirely and go through Agbor.

On getting to Agbor Junction, I turned toward the direction of my destination. However, I was shocked by the very bad shape of the road which was almost not passable by car. I persisted and continued on the journey for about 25 minutes into the road until it became completely blocked by a faulty trailer that had impeded movement, causing a great gridlock.

Then, I decided to take Ugoneki Road, which would have also led me to my destination. Again, getting to the road was another nightmare, making my journey impossible. The poor condition of many Nigerian roads breaks my heart.

Though it was impossible for me to physically attend, I remain in earnest prayers with my brother, Gen Cecil, for a successful event.

I use this opportunity to continue to plead with our political leaders, at all levels, to concentrate on maintaining, rehabilitating, and reconstructing our existing roads and other infrastructure rather than embarking on new projects that will never be completed.

I look forward to the day when Nigerians will be able to travel freely and safely on good and well-maintained roads in New Nigeria that is Possible. -PO

Obi should stop worrying himself about Nigerians. They don't deserve it, including over 90% of Obidients.

Na this particular road gave me a hell of painful experience back in April this year. My saving grace was the heavy presence of military checkpoints all along.

.. if you wanna know how it really feels to be in hell, just ply this road in a rainy night journey. Damn!

Na to begin calling out both federal and state govt for the deplorable roads in Nigeria. That particular edo state is very notorious for bad roads.

I don't know if it's better now, that year, if rain fall for Benin, nobody go fit commot from house until the water drain small.

Edo State undoubtedly has one of the worst road network in Africa. That state is Cursed with bad roads and useless governors.

Meanwhile, Peter obi is a Mumu hypocrite

How many roads did he build or repaired in his state when he was the governor?

Why did he single out Edo?
He should go to Abia state in UKWA east and see how tankers are falling.

but u say I never chop, where did u see bread?

No one is hungry like u Igbos, poverty is hugging you with both feets

It's only an Igbo that will ask someone if he has eaten cos food is a luxury to them

Na Igbo man kill him son for eating last meal in d house

Na Igbo woman use knife turture daughter for cooking one cup of rice

Many of u have your account details littered everywhere all in d name of bambiala but Una still believe others are hungry

It should not be difficult to award the contract for this road and have it tolled. The Calabar-Itu Road has been so terrible YET Ita Enang was a senior official in Buhari's administration and nothing was done. There was another major road that was awarded to Uzodinma (before he became governor) yet he too did nothing about it.

If I were a Chilean or Chinese Singaporean who visited Nigeria for the first time, I would question the intelligence of the citizens.
