DailyNews:
My brother is beyond Goodluck Jonathan issue...that guy is one of the best if not the best president Nigeria has ever had.

Ibadan-Lagos Expressway that Obasanjo and co abandoned, GEJ came to rescue it...Apapa-Oshodi Expressway nko?

Nigeria is just too complex and corrupt to be handled by one man without other key-Nigerians' maximum support.

Goodluck is being sabotaged even by past Nigerian leaders who wants him to fail like them...and I keep wondering how Nigerians expect him to turn to a magician that will change Nigeria's long-lasting mistakes overnight.

Our brothers from the north ruled Nigeria for many decades without doing anything aside looting money for themselves and their family...no Nigerian cried fowl except for few...Obasanjo who was the next God-sent man to have turned Nigeria's misery into success never did it, instead he further spread public fund looting, political witch-hunting via EFCC, silent killing of oppositions, etc and now a man with the heart of a servant, Goodluck Jonathan comes in and all Nigerians woke up from their forever sleep to criticise and curse him daily and demanding for magic; God is watching all of us.

Goodluck Jonathan, pls keep doing the best u can and leave the rest for God, simple- when u are gone, Nigerians will start celebrating u, that's their way since 1960 of course.

As for those talking bout not voting for Goodluck come 2015, I have a message for you all- whether u vote for Goodluck or not, Goodluck has already won the election because there is no better candidate so far and I see none coming forth soonest.

Confused citizens!!

I keep telling people not until we rise up and fight for our right and what rightly belong to us . This country will not get better or move forward. This country belong to all of us not to them the politicians, roughs in power. How can 70,75 and 80years old dictate or plan the future of we the youth of this country. It pains me a lot and I weept each time i sleep and wake up only to find that Nigeria of today is worse than yesterday because it will never get better. Not until we do away with tribal sentiments and religion hatred and the fear of going to hell and the pride of going to heaven. The God'allah 'amadioha or sango will not help us .our extremism in our various religion is the major cause of our backwardness .

Re: Jebba - Mokwa Road. Where are the contractors by lertee(f): 3:09pm On Oct 20, 2014
Wow,this OP beat me to this. I was about opening a thread in relation to this particular road.

Jebba to boode saadu is normally a 20min drive but we spent 3hours on that road,when we got to boode saadu eventually,we had to divert towards babaloma road where we burst out towards maraba,this isn't the normal route but because the road was blocked.
At saadu,young able-bodied men mounted road block and took advantage of the bad road to extort money from travellers, I was so furious I had to wind down the glass to shout at them.
In my words I told them never to vote for anyone in 2015,if anyone comes to their place for campaigns,they should set them ablaze(yes I was that angry). They have been cheated upon and the state of that road has been like that for a long time. The place is more like an abandoned haunted land,funny enough there is a local government secretariat in saadu.

The road I expected to be worse in mokwa-Bida road but I was impressed at the level of work done on that road.

The state of Jebba-boode saadu road is a big shame on the local,state and federal government.

Ymodulus:
8hours of pain, 480mins of suffering, 28,800 seconds of sorrow.

I do not belief in the existence of Hell fire as religionist paints it. However I must say that if there is anything more hotter than fairy tale Hell fire, then it is the JEBBA - MOKWA ROAD from Kwara to Niger STATE. And I have been there. 22:09 Military Time, 10:09 local time, Sunday 19th of October 2014. From a cold mild beautiful sunset to a boring, regretful day. From happiness to sadness, joy go sorrow. This has been my ordeal as I ply the road heading from Lagos Down to the North via the Jebba - Mokwa Road.
Before I go on , I am Ymodulus, some call me psycho but you can call me the Man who is on the road to Hell and is yet to be out.


JEBBA Experience
I got to JEBBA around 1:49 Pm, I was excited on hearing from the driver that we are on the JEBBA - Mokwa road. Reason for my excitements are not far-fetched. 1 for the fact that I felt I was close to my final destination and secondly I have always reamt of seeing how beautiful thing road I as Paine by the Minister of Works on an AIT Raypower Show called Political Platform. Note that am an addict listener of the radio show political platform on radio fequency dial of raypower 100.5 Hz abuja. And the issue of federal roads have been one Amaechi Anakwe, has been really hitting on. He has interviewed the Minister of Works in person of Mike Onolememe an in all interview, he has been speaking wonders of major road along the federation like the Benin - Ore , Lagos - Ibadan, Kogi - lokoja, JEBBA - Mokwa road. Am not here to tell you about the kogi lokoja road, no am here to talk about the JEBBA - Mokwa road.

1. I can vividly recall The minister of Works saying the JEBBA - Mokwa road has been awards and its [size=18pt]80%[/size] near completion. This I heard with my 2 ears not that I was told, no. I heard it from the Minister mouth my self. I was happy and felt the Minister is working but to my greatest surprise today cleared my eyes. All the figures or percentage quoted by the Minister are all false. I am on the Jebba- Mokwa as at this Time of posting making it roughly 8-9hours all because of the Poor state of the road. What I saw with my eyes I asked if the contract the Minister said was awarded is spiritual rather than physical.
2.I cant categorically say I have seen the best of the best roads in Nigeria, I have been to 33 states in the federation this year alone and I can Boldly and categorically tell you that what I know for sure is I have seen the worst Road in Nigeria.


Acts of the Law enforcement Bodies.
If you ask me anyday i will say only Police fficers collects Bribe. But today i learnt that even the Army do, but in a big way (N500). Federal Road Safety workers all sitting and laughing eating Pop Corn and one stupid fellow asking for Bottle water from the driver. Local Vigilantes men asking for N50 or any form of tip. Boys on the road repairing the road blocking it until the driver drops some form of bribe. Let me not deviate as the acts of the law enforcement agencies are not my reason for writing this, but the state of the road and the lies been heralded by the Minister.


Solution Available
Drivers are going back to follow a place call Jaji. Now at Jaji they will pay some ferry me sum of N1000, after which they drive the vehicle on top of the ferry and the ferry will cross the water to the other end of the river bank and journey continues.

Lastly
I have vowed never to ply the JEBBA - Mokwa Road again in my life time. I will rather revert to the former option (flight). Its easier and no stress. Just that these days Aero airlines are acting funny. Increasing ticket fare from 25k to 36k on the queue not on their website.

Pardon me I can't write in full as am on my Mobile phone. Also forgive me of all grammatical errors as I can't screen proof at this moment. Below are some pictures I took before my phone was seized by a military officer and he deleted some photos off. I learnt a lesson never bring out your phone close to the military Dogs they are beast. Right now am at the JEBBA federal electricity generation Plant. All cars brought to a halt.
I will have to stop here my battery is 6% and the Xiaomi power bank given to me by Initialize is dead. It proved it worth today. Here are some photos. Am to upload 30photos but if they are not up to 30. Kindly know that my phone is dead. And till I get to my destination, may be Tomorrow or next I will upload more and if you hear no more from me. Then know that I died on the JEBBA - Mokwa road


Do you think you have a govt?

Hmmmm. Am seeing things. You know if she sees this you in soup.

The road in my opinion is not as bad as the Kogi -okene lokoja road. That's the worst road ever. I followed there during the raining season and it was something else.

I am 100% convinced you av not driven on d ilorin-jebba road b4. Trust me, lokoja-okene is paradise compared to the ilorin-jebba road. At least I still comfortably make okene frm lokoja in at most 40mins.
