Fish Rot, Motorists Stranded For 4 Days in Gridlock On Agbor-Edo Expressway by givedemwotowoto(op): 3:21pm On Aug 24
“Look at this bus transporting catfish. All the catfish have di€d inside the vehicle because of the gridlock.”💔🥲

—Passenger laments over the severe gridlock on the Agbor–Edo expressway, following the bad condition of the road.

How do you convince these people that there was justification for starting a Coastal Highway of Fraud worth trillions of naira when existing highways are dilapidated, in a so-called broke country?

Hmmmm!

And you just condemned the coastal road. While i dont doubt there is looting there, it is just not funny how you just bad wash the coastal road. But if they picked this road instead of Lagos....looting too would happen. So, the issue here is which is more important since they were surely looting too if this road was picked instead of the coastal road.

So, Lagos that is given all of una high VAT to share doesnt deserve more? How many people live in Benin? Compare it to Lagos?

While I am a human and i feel for the owner, but do you care about billions that used to get destroyed in that LEKKI highway? Go ask how people used to suffer there. Yet, they are the ones dashing you all high VAT year in, year out.

How much revenue is this particular road bringing to Nigeria? Lets compare it with what Lagos is? Over 30million people in Lagos, and you still keep talking. Make dem kuku abandon Lagos na....and dem keep reparing your roads na....and they keep collecting VAT from Lagos too na...se na N10M or less (maybe around 2M) this thing I am seeing is....go see how billions used to get destroyed in Lagos..So, let the billions rot na...and go use billions to repair road because of this small million all in the name of tribalism.

Mainwhile, the same coastal road you washed down is passing the same Benin. Why are you people like this?

Go read my old post before you label me apc person.

They are doing Ijebu-Ode to Ibadan road today on tv and South -South and south east are crying over the state of the benin-delta roads. EVEN after all our governors joined APC, still practicing tribalistic governance.

Is it a crime because we voted PO?

This is what doing business looks like in Nigeria. Who will compensate these guys for this, so that they can remain in business? The coastal road idiots will tell you that Tinubu's government is business friendly.

Call Umahi to defend it and debate Obi.

Who will the fish business owner blame? Look at how the country is destroying her own

The politicians are busy with elections and forgot their primary assignment

If Nigerians refuse to see signs, they'll surely experience wonders!

They're busy building coastal road. It's unfortunate that these leaders are just wicked and callous.

Kai.

Someone’s life investment in the mud 😢😥😓
You no provide work, we manage source money start business, you mischievously fail in your responsibility to provide basic amenities to make our self established businesses thrive , yet you open you gworo eating mouth and low sense of reasoning and call Nigerian youths lazy?

Nah Ogun go kpai una one by one 😡😡😡😡

This is very sad. Giant of Africa still couldn't fix her road in 20 first century. I pity the person involved

Nigeria still has a long way to go when it comes to building and maintaining highways to a good standard. In my opinion, Nigeria is not among the top 20 countries in Africa when it comes to road infrastructure.

Just look at countries like South Africa, Kenya, and the North African countries, where you can see much better-developed highway systems. Nigeria has very few true highways, and many of the major roads that do exist are shared by heavy trucks, large buses, and small cars, creating congestion and making transportation more dangerous.

To be honest, if I were still living in Nigeria, I might think that the way things are currently done is simply the normal way things should be. But after seeing how roads and transportation infrastructure are developed and maintained in other countries, you realize that Nigeria has significant room for improvement.

This is very sad! So, to this day, no one has figured out the cause of the gridlock or how to alleviate it or find even one solution to this problem? 😒😒
Re: Fish Rot, Motorists Stranded For 4 Days in Gridlock On Agbor-Edo Expressway by Eriokanmi: 5:12pm On Aug 24
On his failure mandate they'll continue to stand. Awon alariwo edaa. In Buhari's administration, sukuk funds were used to patch those roads and made them memorable. Tinubu cannot build one-tenth of the roads buhari built in 4 years, if lucky to spend 8 years in office.

Even the little coastal road done, pesin no fit hear word again. Erosion has taken over a large portion of it as we speak. They're still backing him for a re-election. He's won already. Nat to crown him remain..mtcheeew

She should collect 50k from HacheNoire and start akara frying business to recover her loss
She'll make millions in no time
Ask Lithiumite. His wife is in the business and she recently complained to him that she is tired of counting millions everyday

This is not well at all.

A special incident could be the reason for this considering its an exception.
Re: Fish Rot, Motorists Stranded For 4 Days in Gridlock On Agbor-Edo Expressway by Osariemen12: 5:19pm On Aug 24
If the owner is not strong enough to bear the loss, the bad government in Nigeria has killed him.

Fix the existing roads and forget about the useless coastal road.

They know the problem. They have other priorities.

This one's #1 priority is returning Tinubu as President
