If you build a single lane road from PH to Lagos, you have built 638.7km of road. Two-way means 1277.4km.
If the road is dual-carriage, that is 2554.8km of roads for the 273 miles between PH and Lagos!




the charge-and-bail liar will soon return to his domain

So, based on your analysis, Jonathan has build from scratch the equivalence of 20 PH to Lagos Roads ( or 10 of ph to Lagos if it's dual carriage) in the last 5 years, can you do us a favor of listing these roads and their distances. That should proof Fashola wrong like you would like us to believe. Oh! Blind me !, new roads were constructed in the air and TAN will soon distribute 3D glasses to help us see them. grin

Bros your brain is outside your cranium really. No offense meant.
Along which road was the distance to new york measured if not via flight as the crow flies.

If you had a smattering of mathematical knowledge, you would have known that the shortest distance to any point is a straight line.

The distance from PH to Lagos is about 273 miles or 439 kilometers as the crow flies, but is it same by road which is about 638.7 km?
Use your brain first dear and ask google if in doubt.
(http://www.travelmath.com/flying-time/from/Lagos,+Nigeria/to/Port+Harcourt,+Nigeria)
Mumu. See who is talking. As the crow flies is referred to as a straight line distance between two points. The straight line distance between PH and Lagos does not change, whether you use flight or car. It will only take more time on land, not difference in distance if we're considering a straight line. Donkey, I dont need google for a simple fashola statement that slowpokes like you cant understand. Anuofia.

For the doubting thomases; I did house job in Zaria and served in Bayelsa State after, I has been opportune and satisfied to use the following federal roads in the past 2 years.
1. Abuja to Abaji to Lokoja newly dualized lanes.
2. Oweri to Onitsha
3. Kano to Maiduguri
4. Some parts of East-west road
5. Some parts of PH to Enugu express
6. Enugu to Ebonyi to Calabar express
7. Okene new express road
*** there are so many Federal government maintained express roads in the North and middle belt.
I don't know the total distance done but I appreciate the quality of road done by this administration.


Cumulative length of all these roads is not up to 5000 Km and not all has been repaired under Jonathan.

How did Fashola achieve his SAN status with his naivity. The crow flight distance is different from topographical distances. Is the distance from Lagos to London not measured by flight time and speed which is basic physics ? In construction, there is something called Topography differential Mr. Property lawyer.

Much thanks!

Rad1cal:
see this yeye people, you failed to realize that urban road construction isn't like using a ruler to draw a straight line, it involves numerous twist and turns to connect two location together.

As small as Lagos is, Fashola once boasted he has constructed more roads than Ghana, will you also dispute that fact simply because Ghana is larger than Lagos.



http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/11/12/lagos-has-built-more-roads-than-ghana-sleone-%E2%80%94fashola/

Fashola has claimed he has constructed about 371 km and is hoping to increase it to about 577km. The catch here is that the flight distance between Lagos and Abuja = 536Km



[size=14pt]You see why Fashola is a very foolish hypocrite. Tufia. [/size]

You talk like an illiterate. So how is flight distance measured? Another SI unit? We are talking about the distance apart between the two countries, not the time it takes for a car or a Boeing 997 to get there. Distance bro. Use your brain!

U r the person who shud think again.. U talk as if the distance apart Lagos and London covers more landmass than the country put together.....

Note: I am not validating GEJ's claim, but we shud look at the total landmass of our country North - South and East to West to know the possibility of constructing a 25,000km road

What the government actually says is that over 25000km roads have been constructed or rehabilitated. If you actually travel frequently by road to different parts of the country including the North and the South you can't fault this claim unless you are incurably biased. For example the Osodi/Apapa road is not new but if you ply that road you will see it is far better now than before but unfortunately I have met people who give the credit to Fashola and not the federal government whereas there are so many state government roads that are crying for attention despite the money the state is getting and the same people blame Jonathan for NOT DOING ANYTHING.

So GEJ built one-third of the roads in the whole of the US, please where are these roads? Ordinary Oshodi-Apapa is not complete but he has built 25,000 km roads. For convenience, he has built an equivalent distance of roads in 17 states of the US? Again please where are these roads o!

First, GEJ never claimed to have constructed 25,000 km of roads
He said that on assumption of office only 5000 km out of 35000 km federal roads was motorable but that they have increased that to 25,000 Km

He was in a haste to criticize.

According to CIA, total road network in Nigeria is given below. This includes states and federal toads,

Roadways total: 193,200 km
paved: 28,980 km
unpaved: 164,220 km (2004)

So Jonathan has refurbished and rebuilt 90% of Nigerian existing roads. Like someone said, is it the road to hell or to Otuoke ?
Government should be intelligent with their lies. They should at least credit us with little intelligence. We can't all be dumb and clueless in a nation of 170 million people.

For those who had yelled themselves hoarse over Benin-ore road refurbishment, the Government of GEF worked on less than 30km of that road and this is mostly around the Ofosu, Okada axis.

I will quote what the minister of works said at the commissioning :

Earlier, the Minister of Works, Onolememen, said that the Phase I of the project was 75 km long and that Phase II suffered a setback because of funding and technical challenges. He said the project has, however, recorded over 60 percent completion, adding that 61 other roads have been completed across the country.
