All these GEJ haters!

Why did the OP not post the pictures of the section of the Okigwe to Enugu section of the PH-Enugu road which has been repaired by Setraco? For your information the contract for the total repair of this road has been awarded and is being done in stages. Why also did the OP not display the road from Enugu to Abakaliki which will eventually connect Ogoja and Bamenda in Cameroun? Or did the contractors working on those roads fall from the sky?

It is well known that because of the nature of the soil and heavy rainfall patterns in the South-east and South-south, roads in this region do not last. Repair them with asphalt and in two years they will fail.

Rather than criticize GEJ repeatedly, we should support the push for the use of new technology to be used in road pavements. The use of asphalt in the South-East and South-South is not a workable solution. Dangote is developing one using a grade of cement. Tomorrow the Igbos here will say they do not want something like that because it is coming from a Northerner.

Everything you said was sounding PLAUSIBLE.... and l say plausible because most are in the FUTURE TENSE, as most projects that have been "achieved" by this fraudulent govt until.... the bolded parts!

To blame the sate of the road on the NATURE OF SOIL is the height of stewpidity by any illiterate that has access to internet!

I will tell you something today:
Early this year, l branched to see a Cousin of mine in Ireland-Dublin, on my way from the U.S.
I spent three weeks with his family and it rained EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of those three Weeks!
It rains so much in that place that they have a joke which goes that "The only reason you see an irish person in church is because he is trying to take shelter from the rain"!
I am sure those who are familiar with that country will bear me out on this.
I asked my cousin how they are able to survive with this kind of rain ... then he reminded me that "Life here has adpted to and conquered" the rainy environment.

Just use "Google Maps" to zoom-in and view the roads and streets in that country and it will amaze you! A country that does not have ONE SINGLE Natural resources o!
Reason l brought this up is that the country is an Island, completely out of nowhere and it rains there 90% of the time, (dont even talk about the kind of crazy breeze that blows there!) yet... You need to see the roads in this place! You will just love to drive around!

Solid roads, well maintained and very smooth.
They are not complaining about rain or soil yet here in Nigeria, somebody is repeating the same silly excuses that l have been hearing for almost twenty five years when l first visited the East?

How do you expect the roads to last more than "One season" when all the contractors in Nigeria do is just "spray asphalt paint on red sand" and call it road construction?
I drove on the Ife Expressway when it was just completed about 2001 and God, that was my best drive back then (In a V-Boot!) but because of the poor materials used by "Oni of Ife's company" that did that road, it collapsed within two years of construction.
Go and see the same road now, its a mess ..or are you going to blame "rain and soil" for a road in the South West as well?

How about using other methods like "Concrete" for such roads, if Asphalt has been failing since the days of Lord Lugard?
Or are we that daft?

A badly constructed road, due to endemic corruption, will not last more than one season but a well constructed road (using internation standards w.r.t. thickness of asphalt, the right type of base material, et.c.) will last at least 30yrs and all you need do is just small-small patching!

Some of the roads made in the days of Herbert Macualay, are still intact in some parts of Lagos, up till today!

emmasege:
You are right friend. I recently told a northern friend of mine that the reason for their blind campaign for buhari is because they want power to return to the north, particularly d n/west at all cost. As at this moment, I'm giving it to Jonathan not because he's good or deserves it but because the opposition party has failed to do the needful. If they really cared so much about rescuing Nigeria from PDP, they would forget sentiment & pick d best man in their camp whose sterling performance as governor speaks volumes & who's not known for any religious bigotry. I'd gladly join d campaign train of APC if they consider Babatunde Raji FASHOLA as dr flag bearer & a northern Christian as his running mate. I'd like to see a situation where we will have a southern Muslim as president & a northern Christian as d VP.

Hmmm.... You speak wisdom o!

But let me add, how come is it that we cant have "independent Candidates" who have no "party Affiliation" (at least not those "two sides of the same devilish Coin"..PDP/APC)?
I reckon if it is funding, a very "sound independent candidate" can raise money through donations from all Nigerians that are dying to be rid of these two leprous fingers called PDP and APC (Jonathan and Buhari)!
Why must we always have to chose between either "being blinded or being deaf/dump"? There must be capable and selfless Nigerians that we can still point to, right? Or has the country got so rotten to that point?
Devil and Satan na the same thing as far as l am concerned

Very Sad!

warri boy,indeed!

nah warri all the way..

If hear you say GEJ till 2019, may your life be ruled the way he rules Nigeria

you know it already. I thought you wil not complet the comment

Arch1:
must she be hired before she higlight the poor state of the federal roads in the southeast? Are you going to deny the obvious fact that the PDP government have failed Nigerians?

I am a Yoruba from the southwest and i know that almost all the federal roads over here are also bad. The OP's pictures arent peculiar to the southeast alone.

President JonaTAN has failed Nigerians

Bring out these type of aligation u know it wil give my rival more power, and u know, i left those place to be completed in my second tenure. So make una calm down.

Many thanks to the OP for this exposé. I drove from Ibadan to abakaliki yesterday and the journey was smooth until I got to the onitsha-awka-enugu expressway. Its a shame that some people would rather resort to lies on this thread about the state of that road.I drove a Nissan xterra and got stuck twice.Thank God for the auxiliary gear of the car that bailed me out.Had to take the car to a car wash at ogoja road immediately I entered Ai. The thought of even going back next weekend churns my stomach. Yet some people still want us to believe all is well with GEJ's disposition to the Ndigbos. Truth is there's no sign of construction work going on save the one at awka roundabout( I doubt if its not the state's govt.project).
My heart goes out to those with smaller cars plying that road.Bottom line is your cannot drive your personal car on that road and not curse the government of the day.
Lesson learnt: Next time am coming to abakaliki,the option is to leave my car at asaba and join PMT from osha to Ai(N1000 max). shikena!

Arch1:
The Igbos will be shocked at the appaulling state of the federal roads in the southeast when they go back home for christmas this december

virtually all the federal roads in the southeast are in terrible conditions

onitsha-enugu-PH road = zero
east-west road = zero
umuahia - ikot ekpene road = zero
2nd niger bridge = zero etc etc

JonaTAN has failed the igbos. JonaTAN has failed Nigerians

sorry

GEJ is really working. Let him buy dangote cement of #1000/bag to fix that road. onyara

Nigeria is just a zoo.

Idacrux:
@op u are very correct,i passed through that Death fosaking road yesterday on my way to Nsukka from lagos;I pity the Igbos still fightin cos of this daft called Gej.infact,i suffered in dat axis yesterday.the road i plyed is onitsha-awka road..very bad.God of iron go punish anyfool wey sey Gej till 2019.

Shatap! Pagan. There's nothing like 'god of iron'.

GEJ till 2019.

More pix

This o.p is a chump. As if jonathans tenure is over.....this is the more reason why u should vote him in the next election to continue his work from where he stopped in the s.east...why not show pix of the onitsha-owerri road and ogoja-ebonyi road? Are this places not south-east region? Do u think the f.g pick money from the streets to complete all projects at a time? Ogoja-ebonyi road was in bad shape, even before genesis was made, if not for the intervention jonathans govt...your cohorts wount see those ones. This your pull him down syndrome and pathetic cynism is getting achaic.

Ogbonaikenna:
do you have comprehension problem? I said the road is under construction. The road hast been constructed up ogbunike after ogidi. Umunya portion is bad no doubt. Gej is working atleast he is constructing the road but obj couldn't do that road throughout is eight years rule.

Oga dont waste your time on this simpletons. Gej will finish working on those roads before he leaves office as nigerian president. He has done that in ebonyi-ogoja road, those days drivers do carry their wagons on their head to cross that road. Am wondering why the o.p didnt post the onitsha-imo road....na apc construct dose ones?

D paradox is still puzzling to me:how can d Ibos,one of d most enlightened ethnic groups in africa,wt close links to d jews(one of d most distinguished grps on earth),allow a man as GEJ,frm one of d most ...ethnic grps in africa,wt a questionable ph.d to hoodwink them to supporting him.
Yes,Tinubu and his ilks don't deserve any decent human being's support,but for God's sake y can't we seperate d man Buhari (a God sent individual who wud do more for d Ibos dan GEJ can ever dream of),from apc as a party.
These roads I remember right were passable @least some yrs back,wt hopes of dem being renovated,but 6yrs down d line dis is d gift gej has for d east,inspite of d massively inflated votes frm dat region.

d last time I checked, Igbos were part of Nigeria society wen ur so called 'god sent' man ruled, but I still can't find wht 'he' did for d Igbos even uptill today............
.
Any Igbo man dat vote for Buhari, must really hv a memory problem. Atleast GEJ wasnt d Gen dat massacre my brethen, ur 'god sent' man was & still killin ma brethen in d north uptill nw. Civil war is still fresh in my mind.

donnypool:
well i schooled in enugu, that place is trash. lets be sincere. onisha is a joke compare to asaba

Which place is trash? where are you from to start with?

Arysexy:
No amount of name calling, propaganda, by apc agents will make we igbos vote for a terrorist party like apc. The junaid muhameds in apc should concentrate their effort in SW where their slaves are up to lick their a55.

between two evils, we chose the lesser. GEJ is a lesser evil.

The onitsha Enughu express was done by Gowon i guess after d war, since then we have had hausa and yoruba taking turn to govern, how many Hausa and yoruba president remembered that igbos are part of Nigeria? Obj spent 8 years playing politics with onitsha owerri rd.

Thunder fire any apc goat that insult the intelligence of ndigbo bc of this road.

don't mind the ediots, bucorrupt has been there with nothing to show for it, obalooting was there also yet nothing happened, had it been they did the needful back then we shouldn't be talking of road construction any longer,by now it should be maintaining the road and forging ahead to other parts of development.

donnypool:
nah am a warri boy. yea i have being to enugu, its trash

and warri is heaven on earth bah? have been there,there is nothing in the town your gyrating abt, you guys don't believe in building a worthwhile house and town planing is zero there.Pls nextime don't compare Enugu with the decayed zone you called warri

My Friend shut your mouth; don't you have Governor in your state? Ask Obiano he knows the truth of it; Igbos that can take money for anything! some communities are even calling president names because of common borehole meanwhile they have Councillor; Chairman; Reps; Assembly; Senators and Governor. President can't do everything!
#@My View Anyway#@

Obiagelli:
ludicrous is the only grammar that can describe the support for gej from this region.

There's no alternative. Buhari is not an option

Zikamax:
This is Nairaland Forum not campaign forum. Besides if u no like GEJ go knack ur head for wall u can as well go hug transformer wey dey ur neighbourhood. U think say to rule a country dey easy, not even a country but a country full of fault finders. If na dat yo-rubber guy wey una want come win, una still go complain. If na u dey dat seat, u fit change anything U fit change d prize of garri for market Fuel nko Biko GEJ till I ......because there is God ooooooooooooo!

Stop exhibiting your folly in public! God, is this your defence?

Sometimes ppl compare newly built modern town to old city like Aba, Ibadan, Onitsha etc. See ppl of uyo claiming how beautiful itd more than Aba forgetting that Aba is more than 100yrs.

We lack visionaries as leaders. Someone calling Enugu trash is a very big insult....see ordinary asaba. I blame our eastern gov.

Kasyn:
oh really?,ENUGU is trash? If enugu is trash then i'm afraid you must be stupid not just a BIG phoool.......onitsha a joke when compared to asaba(a capital of an oil rich state)? Bro,you must be stupid,i must tell ya because this is like comparing portharcourt or uyo to Aba! You want to claim you are from asaba(western igbo),right? So i could start beefing asaba,right? I already know where you come from......

This is the Onitsha End of the Road and they have been working on that place for the last 20 months, please how long those it take to finish it. Under Construction Indeed!

Ogbonaikenna:
More

GEJ for lyf, if u lyk dis tym around waste ur vote, ur road will b more worst, I only pity TAN who are making false advert abt him.

donnypool:
can anything good comes out from the east?

Definitely, NO. They are born to FOLLOW, never born to LEAD!!!

GeneralShepherd:

Then you will continue to SUFFER and SMILE if you allow ethnic Bigotry to mask your thinking faculty.

For all I fuckin care no fuckin government is good in dealing with infrastructures they ar all thieves big thieves money is wat dey want @ op if u sit ur gat dem assss on dat seat at aso rock u will steal more than them PDP OR APC they are all thieves we need revolution

adaybayor:
in your shallow mund you must think you are making any sense. if the bridge construction has started show us some pixs. Tandroid.

duaghterfukcing gaping cvnt, always keen to display his ignorant dumbfuckery, hazard a guess on how long it takes from award, reconnaissance, to sourcing, to supply, to ground work, to diversion, to project completion in a project of this magnitude, so I can ascertain if your brain is still domiciled in you numbskull. lemme know if enlightening you is worth it or just an exercise in futility akin to teaching almajiris on your mentors payroll advanced algebra.

hazard a guess.

You showed us the bad ones can you show us the good ones too. Because am sure they have good roads from onitsha

Why don't you be a little honest?you should also snapped some parts that's is reconstructed like the cashew three areas of the enugu ph exp way.I guest you tut you are the only one who plies this roads. Jonah has tried you can hug transformer for crying out loud....jobless man

GeneralShepherd:
Stop exhibiting your folly in public! God, is this your defence?

Dear, don't be such a chump, actually u are d one exhibiting ur folly in public cos u are not really what u claimed u are-U DON'T MIND UR BUSINESS!

There is God ooo. Where is our money
