See how they have turned my travel thread into a political thread.
how is political? I say people should be who they say they are. Ngeneukwenu has been claiming female until he bursted himself, which complaining about ebonyi bad roads and car reflection showed he is man.

One hour and ten minutes. Impressive. Speedboats are fifty minutes, meanwhile passenger boats are two hours. Looking forward to enjoying this in the future. The Nigerian Police with their dubious ways will start kidnapping people on the road in a bid to enforce checkpoints in the area.

Yes it is always spoiling on the water but then it's always 45mins ride if it doesn't spoil.
Depends on the engine horsepower.

All in all, it is averagely a 1 hr journey.

I said the first few people that commented on the thread turned it to a political thread. Fighting over which govt fixed the road and all that. Got it now?

The major bane of APC is security and aybe inflation but when it comes to infrastructure, PDP does not coe close.

Fr all those claiming all the road projects in the country were stopped because of the coastal road, I know they will still not agree that they have been lying.
It's like you were born yesterday
Only infrastructure in 5yrs of GEJ twart that of 10yrs of APC
It's just that APC have people louding it for them.
GEJ constructed over 15 universities
Over 45 almajiri schools
Renovated and constrctuted over 15 airports
Built major dams

I hope you will vote for the party that made this possible after donkey years of the project being a pipe dream .

If you like go and vote for the candidate that said infrastructure is not important.

Or vote for the one who said he will sell all fg assets to his allies .
No need to tell him, he won't listen if even Tinubu turn Nigeria to Japan those losers won't still agree so don't waste your data either they likes it or not Tinubu will only vacate Aso Rock in 2031 anything short of that is dead on arrival.

I am not even in the mood to start addressing your lies.
Infrastruccture wise, PDP does not come close to APC

That is what happens when you have a competent engineer like Dave Umahi.
I can testify that Dave's company is quick to finishing infrastructures.
The man dey supervise projects himself everyday, you can't give him an excuse.
That was what he wanted to do at ministry of works but those guys get strong head. Na we be our own problem jare.

Aside the project, %80 of projects Dave handles are strictly monitored by himself and being a practical engineer as well gives him room to do that.
I've severally seen him at sites, the way he instruct his foreign engineers you would conclude that he really knows what he's doing.

I remember that incident but I am not sure I fully understood what happened. He wanted them to be coming to work early or something like that and instead they locked the gate nd locked him out, because he wanted to enforce it abi?

1 hour 10 minutes? By water it's around 1hr 15 minutes. Boy that island is very far by water. I wonder how they discovered it by canoe.

The way some of you talk is appalling! A minister that supervises poor quality projects is competent bah? Make u continue nah cry

Aside this project, Dave is a very reliable engineer he might be crooked with the quality of his projects but you see that project, he will always supervise it himself.
Dave is the only competent minister Tinubu's government have ever produced, kiss the truth.

My neighbours in Aba, the Hallidays from. Bonny, will be so so excited. Many couldn't attend their dad's burial from Aba due to fear of crossing the oceans via speed boats. Pastor Halliday was a good man to the core. A man of faith, honour and principle. He was a praying machine!He impacted my life positively.God bless his soul.
God bless his wife and children.

Good video maybe you should edit it and add commentary to update where you are at different stages
The imagery is great but difficult to understand will make a lot of sense if you edit it and add commentary

This is a waste of money according to Peter Obi. The money should have been safe in Peter Obi Bank so Mr. President will be telling Nigeria how he left trillions for incoming President.
When did PO talk about this Bonny road as a waste? Haba make una slow down with the lying naaaa.
