Paid propagandist whixh part of the capital Abeokuta is crawling with pothole ?

So you e pect Ogun state to neglect it inner road tp do road linking Lagos so those of you working n paying taxes in Lagos can have good roads ba ?

Do you have any untelligence to comprehend how much money Lagos as to fux all the roads adjorning Ogun state ? Where do you want Ogun state to gwt such amount to fix the roads ?

Is the federal givernment no longer responsible for interstate roads ? Do you call out state governor for Lagos Ibadan or federal roads linking Imo n Abia or you are paid to tarnish the image of Ogun state or it governor ?!
How did Akwa-Ibom state do it? You'll say 13% derivation formula.

Agbara section of Lagos - Badagry express owned by ogun state is the only deplorable section of the express road. Big shame

When we told them that apart from Lagos which was built by Nigeria...that many South Western states of Nigeria is in terrible state ....they will argue and say Ogun has the highest IGR

I was at Abeokuta and the road to Abeokuta is an embarrassment,the environment ans villages are 18th century dwelling

But let us all claim Lagos

I went to that area near the agbado-crossing train station recently to see someone. I had to park my vehicle and asked some guys to look after it, then trekked to where i was going. I entered from kola bus stop through nureni yusuf road. That lagos portion.too isn't passable to cars, The ogun stretch was worse, in fact, worse than a village farm road. I've not seen any apc governor in the south west that's doing the people right. Ekiti road is a death trap yet they'd be claiming it's federal road, same federal tat their party is controlling. I don't know why people love suffering and smiling in this country. Despite these glaring failure, they're still defending these guys. Humm!

Dapo Abiodin.didn't even win the 2nd term vote but tinubu forced him in tru rigging. I hope they'd shine their eyes well in 2027, provided they've never been served enough sour wine by the apc yet.

Another strategy for rigging election is Nigeria is by declaring the result inconclusive, especially in places where the opposition parties are winning. Come 2027, should this nonsense happen, Nigerians must protest and keep vigil over their votes.

Unluckily for you I went to Abeograms, if you live in Abeokuta you know what school that is n it proximity to the locations you asked me to drive from.

I was in Abeoka barely a month back n drove Ijaye just stone throw from Idi Aba without noticing a single pothole. I came in tru Lagos dtove over the bridge in Ijaye n went as far as Unab.

I drove tru Oke ilewo to Moshood Abiola poly so what exactly is your point n i did not notice any signifucant pothple. This is not to say Ogun state deserve beta but claiming the capital is riddle with pothole is complete falsehood n totally senseless.
Chief, he's not wrong. I don't know how much you know Abeokuta but these places you mentioned are located in the city center, so the roads are smooth, although with potholes.

Even on the so-called smooth roads, you'd find deep potholes in front of BGC, FMC, and Kemta, Idi-Aba. Did you even know that the road stretch was abandoned before OGTV?

Okay, let's leave that. Drive to Isabo, Nepa Road, Imo, Nawarudeen, and Kuto, the come back with your report. Unfortunately, these places are very few miles to the government house, but are in shambles.

Have you been on the Sam Ewang Road linking Idi Aba recently? I really doubt it but you would be filled with rage. In addition, Akin Olugbade junction is an eyesore. Brewery to Ita-oshin road also needs rehabilitation. In fact, There's a major road at Rounda which has been abandoned since his first term.

All I mentioned here are even major roads, that's to tell you that the inner street and smaller roads are worse. Guess what? All the roads leading to the Abeokuta train station are largely not motorable.

Laderin – Ewang, Leme–Ijaiye, Magbon inner road (beside Governor's Office), Itoku–Kobiti, Bode Olude, and many uncountable roads have been left untouched.

I weep inside every time I pass these roads, it's a big shame.

I just don't understand what is happening with the successive governments in Ogun State. The governors are always very pretty in terms of infrastructure, especially roads! Ogun State is supposed to be a very good state as a result of all the big companies and industries which translates to very good fortune in terms of IGR.

I just don't understand. Ogun needs a governor that's interested in turning things around not those who want to just fulfill the ambition of having been a governor in his lifetime.

Maybe they should borrow someone like Wike for a period of two years to open their eyes to the needful.

Buy a brand new car today and run it within Ogun State for a period of one year and see what it will look like. This is not supposed to be happening in a state that has good IGR and also gets allocation in billions from the center on a monthly basis.

Ogun State government don't construct roads

mamaafrik:
May the life of ogún state governor at old age be exactly the way he manages the ogún infrastructure.
He's channelled all the money into his petroleum marketing company called Heyden. He's busy opening more outlets. Politicians trade with the masses lives in this country. It's purely business. They give the masses a paltry sum and take the rest, as if they voted themselves there.

Before he became governor, his heyden office inside Ikeja GRA was non functional. He had almost closed down the company. The moment he became governor, the whole thing changed overnight.

I still blame tinubu for all these nonsense. He was the one who went and picked him. So, it's not only dapo who should be blamed but the one who endorsed him. Amosun tried a little but the contractors he brought did substandard jobs cos of corruption. Those roads have become dilapidated now, in less than 2 decades, starting from 2 years after construction.

Whenever I see someone perform, I give credit irrespective of his party affiliation. I see what the dancing governor is doing. I visit osun regularly. I was at asubiaro recently, from there to wesley guild ilesa. My question is, why is it that only the opposition party governors are doing well in their respective states nationwide? See Seyi Makinde, perfect guy. He's doing so well and without noise. See Otti for example. He even hired popular contractors to do his roads, not minding the cost. See the IPP lighting the industrial part of his state. Abia won't see all these benefits until in near future. Wherever there's a good road network and constant electricity, the development is always very fast. Government will generate more revenues in return and people's lives would also be prosperous as businesses spring up. Oyo will never forget makinde. Agbara estate that used to serve the nation has a very bad road network now. Check all apc states, if its not banditry, it's bokonharam or kidnapping or corruption cases.

I read a comment in which someone said Yayi erected street light in many parts of abeokuta. Don't fall for it, ogun people. It's another disaster coming, worse than dapo abiodun. All he's doing is a campaign strategy oo. If he gets there, you'd see nothing, he'll first take that money back grin grin. He'd not do anything. Naso amosun start. How people forget things so soon. Shine your eyes ogun people. Never make another mistake. Vote a credible candidate and monitor your votes this time. What did Yayi do for us as lagos 2-term senator before he ran to ogun to contest for same office? He did nothing. Is it same person that's promising you magic in ogun state, run ooo. I talk my own.

Haven't I said it in the past that Dapo was the worst thing to have happened to Ogun State as a governor? But posterity will judge him. How do you expect someone that cannot even write his own name well on a piece of paper to govern a state? How on earth do you expect someone that cannot read a complete statement to be at helm of an affair? Abiodun was a nightmare. Truly he came, he saw but he failed woefully.
Dapo Abiodun is a total disgrace.

Thanks bro. Don't mind him, he wants to be arguing with people that lives here. This current Ogun governor no try at all upon the huge allocation he's now getting from FG. Na so so unfulfilled promises all the time.

Ogun government should do something about it, dis is raining season o

Meanwhile, First to comment 🤗
Ogun state deserves a visionary leader that would create a development plan for the state like that of Lagos (By Tinubu). Unlike Lagos state, Ogun is lacking in all major aspects of governance such as roads, electricity etc. No one can tell me when last the government constructed a road in outskirts apart from Abeokuta and the governor's senatorial district. The Second lane of Mowe -Ofada road is left untouched since Governor Ibikunle Amosun's time. He laid te foundations, did the drainages and paved one lane, since then the road that is supposed to be a dual carriage has been operating as one lane, limiting the developmental opportunities of the area. that road serves as alternative to the Lagos -Ibadan express whenever there's traffic. A focused and performing governor would have gone ahead to complete the road. Same goes for Arigbawonwo Loburo road. Never paved ,just dusty....and that is the situation for all inner roads and streets in the state.

huh

Abiodun is one of the most wicked governor I've ever seen in terms of governance, that man is so dull when it comes to doing his job..

Otti's 10days as a governor is better than 8years of dapo abiodun as a governor, that man is just an opptunist, who shouldn't have been allowed to be a councilor not to talk of being a chairman or governor
Re: Roads That Link Ogun And Lagos Are Only Good On The Lagos Sections (Video) by Fcwilly: 9:25am On Jun 14, 2025
Let there make Ogun as part of Lagos state so that development can come in, that state is truly in a backwards progression.

Re: Roads That Link Ogun And Lagos Are Only Good On The Lagos Sections (Video) by Besuccesful(m): 9:28am On Jun 14, 2025
I was telling someone yesterday that why ogun state don't use to do road. Anywhere Lagos and ogun state link up go and check ogun state will not do there own part. In my area at ikorodu, Lagos and ogun state have a meet up point, currently Lagos is interlocking the Lagos area meanwhile ogun state look away.

I don't know any government that is worse in South West than ogun state. To me they are the worst in terms of neglecting road. Even while obasanjo was president for years he could not fix ota road, it was goodluck Jonathan that later fix that road for them.

Meanwhile, they keep on signing budget yearly for developmental purposes. The money we no see, development we no see. Some people truly deserve the hottest part in hell fire when they die.

What a wickedness to see your own state under developed and look away.
