Reference:
I am here your honour.
To proceed on the case of:

Emphasis is given to a road that was not campaigned about. That was not promised in any manifesto, while ignoring that which is critical to the good people of Nigeria, perhaps the most important highway in Nigeria.

Because I cannot understand on what planet this is a sensible scenario. I just cannot understand this country.
road that was not campaigned about.must road be in manifeso before necessary action take place ?

I'm ready for Violence, but I do get banned for very little things

I once got banned for 6 months, while the person we got banned together was only banned for few days

Everybody should be treated the same

If it's violence, I don't mind my bro

Nigeria the giant tumor of Africa
PresidentMUGABE:
The condition of one of Nigeria’s most critical highways has been getting worse for years and recently it ground to a complete halt for days. Al Jazeera asked people on the Benin-Agbor-Asaba road how they view this infrastructure crisis.

The contractor has achieved his aim and objective, which is to give the administration as much bad publicity as possible.

Campaigning indirectly for the opposition.

They shall all be exposed and dealt with
Senior man fear God

Even if you no fear us wey be human being, fear God grin

But wait was there no body commissioned to carry out monitoring and evaluation of the done work in phases? There ought to have been oversight on the work assigned to this contractor.You don't give work to a contractor and go to sleep only to see viral videos of the abysmal work done.It is embarrassing (correct me if l am wrong it is just an after thought).

I did not say you use foul language.
But your strong positions on what your beliefs are will always draw ire from opposing views.

If you must hold those positions you must be prepared,.grow a thick skin. This is a forum. It is the street of public opinion.

Ignore it.

Yes, if it will cost fifteen trillion naira. Money this country does not have, it should be a campaign issue because it is a major, major cost outlay that will either require raising taxes or securing credit. Both those who things are campaign issues in sane climes. That is if we call ourselves a democracy.

Are you being sarcastic?

What part of Tinubu campaign is coastal road and other infrastructure projects?

He campaigned on crashing petrol price but he hiked it instead. If we call ourselves a democracy then he should be out of office already.

Chief leave all these story, the APC govt has never been serious since Buhari entered.
They cannot say they didn't know the roads were bad, na damage control them dey do . If it's to give new road they can allocate over bloated trillion that they would benefit from.

Yeye people
