Apologies accepted.

But I feel this govt seem to want to play to the gallery using it as their modus operandi. FYI I wasn't too impressed with GEJ.

I hope the VP will be able to show us roads STARTED and COMPLETED after their 1st tenure.

We will have to wait for that.
Yeah we have to wait till 2019 to get their report card. As for the continuous blaming of the past regime, you cant completely blame them for that. 95% of those lambasting them are purely supporters of the last admin who deliver their bashings based on a comparison. So it's not unusual to see the apc continuosly referring to Jonathan's regime.

Secondly, this is virtually the first time we are actually having a change of power from one power block to another; that's why the blames seems strange to you.

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.
Imagine this mumu people! So they should have carved out a road out of no where ? Repairing roads is as good as building new roads where did they expect the roads to come from ? If not roads that were existing but in bad conditions. This people are zombiez.

Out of three assertions, you don't know about two.

Why didn't you just keep quiet.

What's your JAMB score? Do your people enter high institution with 33.3%?
I asked you for evidence of your other 2 assertions. But even before you answer to that, it's already evident based on your answer to the 3rd question that you have failed the entire exam. A pupil who is incapable of simple additions and subtractions, it's pointless to serve such a pupil with further maths. Go to bed. grin

Re: Laolu Akande Asks Nigerians To Name Road Projects Completed In Last 10 Years by psamuel618(m): 11:06pm On Mar 01, 2016
How and where will they construct a new road from? Why is GMB not making good his promises?? Why travelling all over the world when his home is on fire? What good have come out of his travelling? Keep on blaming past tenure for the remainning years you got to rule and not do something reasonable. Ewu... Hear the President said he never promised 5000 for unemloyed youth and Lai Mohammed said APC never promised employment, they only promised to creat more companies... I think his name should be Lie "Lie" Muhammed. APC!!! SHAME.

I asked that question because am 95% sure there won't be any new road STARTED and COMPLETED by this regime. In all honesty it was a silly statement, why make that kind of statement if its not to make the public have ill feelings towards the last administration a feeling people already have.

As someone pointed out, govt is a continum, if road are roads are incomplete complete them regardless of if they are New or existing roads.

When will they stop blaming the last administration? Is it not because of their incompetence and impunity in the last adminstration that they were booted out?

I just feel we as a nation are not doing the right things and will continue to shortchange ourselve until we decide to practice true federalism/regionalism by building strong institutions. The other problem is leadership orientation - this is a major problem.

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.
Though I do not like to partake in this type of argument because i think the ruling party should rather concentrate on moving Nigeria forward than continue to blame the past administration.I will how ever mention one road which was started and completed three years ago.This road has never been tarred since Adam and Eve.It is Mpu/Okpanku,Akaeze road.Off Enugu/Portharcourt express way. Connecting Enugu and Ebonyi states..That road leads to my..formerly village but now TOWN.Thank you GEJ.

Many Nigerians disagreed when Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said that the Federal government in the last 10 years have not constructed a single road in the last 10 years. His spokesperson, Laolu Akande, has asked Nigerians to name road projects completed by the past administrations in the last 10yrs.

If Osinbajo through his aide can condescend this low to ask this kind of question instead of telling and doing his own bid, and despite the fact that the present administration's work minister who has all the records has earlier said the government of President GEJ constructed the highest number of roads ever in the country, then I must say, it is SAD!

I need not say more.
You have said it all nicely.

Is this how low Laaolu Akandes journalism has gotten just by breathing the fresh air in Aso Rock?

I am saddened and dissspoinnted to say the least. Yemi !!!!

What are their campaign promises, that is what you ask them first. If they cannot deliver let them quit or they should keep quit.

They knew how the economy was when they were campaigning so it is not an excuse for them not to work.

The VP innocently made a simple statement of fact that NEW roads were not built. Since last week, losers and airheads all over Nigeria have been calling him unprintable names. In view of that, there is nothing wrong in his spokesman asking this kind of question to clear the air.
Innocently, or ignorantly you meant?
Be that as it may, a man in his shoes and position should not express such ignominy, that's all.
Assuming that's what you wanted to hear.
