What happened to the order he gave on the reconstruction of same Asaba Benin express way last year? Or have we forgotten that Tinubu gave order for the reconstruction of same road last year?

They should stop playing politics with this road and begin work on ground. The talk surrounding the road is now getting too much we need action

3 posts on the first page.

The first post said that the government wanted to reconstruct the road, but was prevented from doing so by the contract with Hartland. It said that Hartland did a very bad job and government wanted to take over the job from them.

The first and second posts say that Hartland's contract has now expired and so government can take over the road and they have now awarded it to HiTech.

The third post said that government did emergency work on the road a few weeks ago and that Hartland was supposed to do the emergency work but they couldn't.

I hope they will not add a toll gate to this project after the construction. I no trust this Dave umahi and im oga

Until




Commence

Everything that has to be done in terms of infrastructure is now at the whim of the president, what happened to appropriations based on represented needs of the people by the state and national assemblies

A month or two to erection, road amendment with substandard materials na wall flood

After more than three years in office, Tinubu is only now ordering repairs, redesign and dualisation of the Benin Asaba Road,a route motorists have endured in deplorable condition for years.

Were they sleeping under a rock all this while? Nigerians needed urgent action,not years of suffering followed by another announcement.

Fixing a road you neglected for years is not a presidential legacy.And this belated announcement will not erase Tinubu’s massive failures or stop Nigerians from voting him out. Nigerians need results,not propaganda dressed up as achievement.

Elon musk might not have money more than umahi, while gullible agbadorians are busy hyping him

I prefer they put toll gate bcoz it'll be an assurance that the road will be maintained by the concessionaire and we wouldn't be visiting mechanics every Saturday.

You expect Tinubu to fix all the roads in Nigeria at the same time? Common be reasonable for once. Ever since he took over, it's been one road or the other. Umahi has never sat down in the office for a whole week. Why can't we be reasonable? That road is a low level area, just a little above the sea level. Let's be patient, it's not Tinubu fault that the road went bad but it's his responsibility to fix it and he's doing so many simultaneously.

helinues:
Sorry where are those bridges and new roads? How will bridges and roads put food on masses table?

Boss no vex oo, I just want to sound like those confused opposition so they can know how irritating they have been when it comes to Nigeria progress

Sound like the confused opposition when they also bring up corruption plaguing the present administration. Unfortunately your thinking is always skewed towards tuning a blind eye to that.

This one na BIG LIE!! Do you know the level of negligence it takes for the Benin -Agbor road to get to be as bad as it is? Not to talk of the Benin - Warri road?? Shebi una see say one senetor from Edo state don stop to dey make noise?? E get why. We don't expect all the roads to be fixed at the same time but we expect that significant progress would have been made in 3 years plus given the finiacal position of the current administration as per subsidy removal. Anyway sha what do i know.

Some folks don't understand that a federal road dualization is the highest money laundry machine in Nigeria.

The hyper inflation of such project should worry any well meaning Nigerian

Greenodds:
Don't mind those Greedy evil thieves, that road will now become a nightmare for travellers because they'll start causing serious traffic in the name of road construction.

The problem is Tinubu’s misplaced priorities and supporters like you who defend them without thinking rationally.

If he had prioritised repairing Nigeria’s major highways from the beginning instead of committing humongous sums to the coastal road,a very strategic and important Benin Asaba road could have received urgent attention much earlier.

Now you’re asking Nigerians to be patient after years of suffering,as though this road only became deplorable yesterday.Umahi refusing to sit in his office means nothing if motorists are still battling terrible roads.

Your kind treats political leaders like demigods,encouraging them to see themselves as emperors rather than servants of the people.Leadership is a duty to serve the people,not a crown that turns politicians into emperors and their supporters into worshippers and glorified sycophants.

Stop defending poor prioritisation as though it were an act of God.Tinubu chose his priorities and Nigerians have every right to question them.You cannot neglect existing roads,announce belated repairs, and expect applause for doing what should have been done long ago or what is expected of him as a president.

Roads that have been long forgotten are remembered. Lagos, PH, and
Abuja have overshadowed everything.

The reason I don't crucify Wike deeply is his massive rehabilitation of roads in Rivers. Lagos State used its wallet to renovate many federal roads too,.and then took FG to court to recover most of the amount spent. But most of otjer states governors are rubbish.

This is why I just dont like hearing the noises of South East. They kept saying they are marginalised. What is wrong in going to borrow and get these roads fixed. Then, mount pressure on the FG. The money will come out anyhow from FG. Their old governors like Rocha's Okorocha preferred to build statues. Lol. Many of them went into airport construction also. Lol. Misplaced priorities. Can they make FG cough out the amount spent on those useless projects that arent yielding them profits?

And one went to invest in beer. Very nauseating things to hear. And they are packaging the useless man as the Nigerian messiah. Lol. Person wey go the Pandora avenue to outsmart them all.

Na waoooo! FG sef no try at all. Imagine. Just doing dualisation of a a major road. Not good at all. Buhari even forgot the whole of SE. Mehn! That man really beefed them seriously.

The bolded comments here shows you've NEVER traveled before!

The entire stretch of road from Benin to Asaba, from Benin to Warri, from Benin to Lokoja have collapsed. Tinubu have spent almost four years in office and nothing has been done about it.

How long does it take to reconstruct a hundred kilometers stretch of road?

Elections is on the horizon and all of a sudden he's issuing orders for road reconstruction.

U dont get it, how do you redesign a road that is dual carriage to be dual carriage again?

Umahi, Seun, APC, PDP, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Muslim, Christian, etc

Those are the things that people post when they cannot respond intelligently to my posts.

APC, Wike, Tinubu and Umahi are the things you post since the trailer load of corn reached your barn. You no longer post intelligent contents anymore!!!

Well everyone breaks! Guess you've been broken. Roger that!!!

Last year the government ordered that the road should be rebuilt. There's a video of Umahi's confrontation with officials of the construction company. The road was concessioned to a private company by the previous government.

The company damaged the road instead of maintaining it. Government wanted to void the contract, but the company would have sued the government, so they couldn't do anything.

The contracr has now expired, so government can take over the road.

But I guess you prefer that they don't do any work, since election is coming. They should wait till after election.

Very good & cheering news

You don't have the capacity to know what is intelligent and what is not. I post whatever I want, as I have always done.

The problem for you is simply that you want to control what I post. It will never work.

I guess these are Umahi, Wike and whatever nonsense you are yapping about.

All this nonsense that 175 is posting is simply because he likes Obi and hates Tinubu, so he wants to force me to only post good things about Obi and bad things about Tinubu. It's a waste of time and will never work.

I will post whatever I want, whether it's good or bad about Obi and whether it is good or bad about Tinubu and there's nothing he can do about it.

Why are you crying like a sissy?

Block me

Like my existence depends on your posts here?

Guy take time ooo

You see, as I said at the beginning, the goal is to derail this thread. That's why they've been posting attacks on me instead of addressing the topic of the thread.

175, mindlog and co have not addressed the topic of this thread even once.

Remember what I told you last year that I will do to anybody that comes to my threads, ignores the topic and attacks me? I have already blocked Mindlog and it's time for 175 to follow suite.

Hahahhah naptu2 the APC cornist
