any pathway is a road. There was a complete overhaul of onitsha/owerri road. With the way it was and the way it is now, it is a complete new road to all of us.

Firstly, whether you agree or not is a story for another day, but the person I quoted was referring to GEJ, hence the focus on him. It is not also news that 99.9% of the attacks on the VP are from individuals sympathetic to GEJ, so please let's not deceive ourselves by feigning ignorance of why GEJ's name is mentioned here. I don't hate GEJ, he tried his best even though his best was appalling. What I dont like is the constant deceit of his supporters and that's what I usually attack, not GEJ himself.

Now why the focus on 'new' roads? The focus on 'new' roads is simply because the innocent mention of 'new' elicited these entire conversations. The importance of new roads are well documented, don't try to downplay the importance of new roads linking up new cities and creating short-cuts to bypass high traffic routes (the benin bypass is an example of a new road and the 2nd niger bridge is also a new route whose importance should never be downplayed).

Similarly, the priority given to fixing of old dilapidated roads over building of new ones is also well acknowledged and appreciated (I am not a dunce not to know this). However if this point was used as an argument, it would have been a more sensible approach and this matter wouldn't have lingered beyond 24 hours. However when not-too-smart impulsive defenders jump in, label the poor VP a liar, a fake pastor and call for his head, then that is exactly the sort of poor response which leads to all these needless debates over semantics.

It is obvious that some people cnt differentiate between construction of NEW roads and REHABILITATION of existing roads....why are some people so daft like this??

Your points are clear, but the whole arguments would not have arisen if the Pastor VP didn't start playing unnecessary politics. Fashola acknowledged that GEJ's administration did a lot in terms of road construction, but in a bid to remind Nigerians how 'terrible' GEJ's administration was, the VP brought up the issue of new roads. I say it to you that it was a needless point he made.

I can almost bet you that this same administration would exhaust their 4 years tenure without completing any new road. There are much fewer sites/locations that need new federal roads than roads that need rehabilitation. A sensible government will focus on the rehabilitation of the existing roads. I'm sure even the VP himself cannot name any route today that is in a greater need of a new federal road than for the repair of the existing one.

tsephanyah:
can u tell us one promise Apc sayed during election and was started talkless of completing,, I will go to Twitter and challenge that,,,, #lies is Apc and there motives is propaganda and conspiracy.

This dullness has reached epic and disturbing proportions. The 11 roads you mentioned above all existed before 2006.

Ezenwammadu, I suppose you should be an educated and enlightened person that should know the meaning of the word 'NEW'?

Now I do not have full info on the current conditions of all the REPAIRED roads you mentioned but at least I know the condition of the following which concern me:
- GEJ did not start the East-West Rd and he did not finish it. The road is still a long way from being completed.
- GEJ did not start the Abuja-Lokoja Rd and he did not finish it. A large chunk of the road is yet to be completed.
- GEJ did not start the Onitsha-Owerri road project, 95% of that project was completed under OBJ, GEJ only completed about 5% of the job and commissioned it.

I do not understand how or why these roads are being mentioned as NEW roads, these are roads that all existed before I was born. Even in terms of repairing the roads, GEJ only did portions, he didn't start and he didnt finish the jobs. So how these roads are CONSTANTLY being mentioned as GEJ's sole achievements completely beats my imagination.

Wrong answer, try to read and comprehend

Chuksyno:
Abeg enough of this new road topic from ACUTE POVERTY CREATOR known as APC. What is the need for new roads while we have death traps waiting since time immemorial for rehabilitation. I prefer and appreciate any government which consider rehabilitating existing bad roads to constructing new ones. Osibanjo can construct new roads especially from Abuja to Heaven and let us hear word.

BabaIbo:
What is the usefulness of constructing new roads when existing ones are bad... You want the Government to construct new Abuja-Lagos road when there is one linking them... Am not a zombie nor a wailer buh d VP n his aid f*ck up... Na d leg wey horse take start dem take dey know where he go reach...

obailala:
Point of correction firstly, the online reports about Fashola praising GEJ for constructing over 20,000km of roads is most likely a scam peddled only by an online tabloid (pointblanknews); not everything you read online is real cos I wonder how many kilometres of roads are in Nigeria for Fashola to claim that GEJ built 20,000km.

Oh yes, mentioning the lack of new roads may have been a needless point considering that fixing old bad roads is more important, but the irrational, disjointed and pointless defences by GEJ's supporters successfully made an issue out of a non-issue.

phemmyutd:
are these new built roads or repaired road? go back to the question and answer properly

banio:
People don't know the meaning of words again since they voted 4 APC. My dear carry go. So if a guy that has a white car should buy another white car, from APC's view both cars are old cars. Useless Morons
