Sometimes I ask, what does the Igbo man want?

1. Position in government, and he knows himself and embezzles the whole money and never develop his town.

2. Development, contracts wud be awarded and the kings of that community wud be fighting to take the whole contracts himself and eat the whole monies.

3. Do one road for them, one person wud stand selfishly to talk on behalf of the rest without consulting.

4. The real money for the constructed road may have accommodated street lights, the Igbo man wud do some and leave the rest and run to Lagos or abuja and live.

The Igbo youths should come to understand themselves and say, we want our places developed , even if the tribalistic government does not want to show his presence in our area what ever we get, we need full value.

Now people would be forced to come home and build industries themselves and they wud be self development that could and would draw people from near and far.

But the Igbo man wud leave his area or her area to our area to develop and make a lot of noise...why

I'm not interested in your irrelevant nonsense and silly distraction, that's a story for another day of your own different thread, the topic is about akwa enugu expressway and why 16 years of PDP and Jona = Abandonment.
And also why 16 years of PDP/jona didn't deliver any project in the SE even though you gave Jona and the PDP all your votes and he called you pillar of his support, but we didn't see any construction pillar, no expressway, no federal presence and not even the 2nd NB, nothing.
Nna, shut up sometimes...

seguno2:
Who opened up the Enugu airport for scheduled international flights?
Who opened up the east for railway revival?
Who started the 2nd NB, which Fulani bigot Buhari has abandoned as usual?
The gimmick of working on a road that he will soon abandon can only fool BMC workers and Buhari loyalists. It can’t fool reasonable, rational people. Try something else.

Fifthwave:
You're sexist, misogynistic and retrogressive.

When you see the quality of asphalting onging at ONITSHA- AWKA-ENUGU EXPRESSWAY, you would believe wholeheartedly that His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR is truly the ENYIOMA 1 OF IGBOLAND- true friend of Igbos. For over 16 years, this is the road Jonathan and his co-travellers in PDP refused vehemently to build; yet, they call him their brother. The man they hated without any reason has made the road a safe-haven. Thank you His Excellency!!!!

I didn't ask you to bore me with empty, half-baked and shallow rubbish. List the projects 16 years of PDP and jona started and completed in the whole of SE.


16 years of PDP and jona did not start and complete the 2nd NB, but it's under construction as we speak.

This is the only thing your votes and 16 years of follow follow bought.

Keep deceiving yourself ZOMBIE

InvertedHammer:
Hate him or love him.

If Buhari truly rebuilds the Enugu-Onitsha, Enugu-PH roads and 2nd Niger bridge, then he is the best so far for Igbo folks.

Politics is about interests and interests only. Whoever you love as President that cannot protect your interests is useless no matter how charismatic they may seem.

Only losers mix politics and emotion.

That's all.

...Buhari should order Julius Berger back to site - Stakeholders

There is anger in the South East zone over the Federal Government’s abandonment of the N140 billion ($700 million) 2nd Niger Bridge.
Investigations by The AUTHORITY revealed that the contractor, Julius Berger Construction Company, stopped work on the project which is being constructed under Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement since April 2015.
Concerned citizens of Eastern Nigeria and other stakeholders are appealing to President Buhari to direct the construction company to resume work on the project.
After a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on August 26, 2015, the Director
General of Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Aminu Diko, had hinted that work on the vital bridge would be suspended.
Dikko said: “The communities around that area are clamouring that their lands have been taken and that they have not been compensated adequately. As a matter of fact, we got a letter from the Onitsha Traditional Rulers Council complaining that they have not been adequately represented in this transaction.”
As that was raging, the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole called on the former Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, to explain to Nigerians the whereabouts of the billions meant for the bridge as according to him, $700 million was drawn from the Sovereign Wealth Fund for the project.
The bridge’s contract was awarded by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan during the second term of former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi.
Onolememen had then assured Nigerians that the project would be completed before the expiration of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in 2015 as part of efforts to deliver on the campaign promises of that government.
But Jonathan lost in the election and immediately the contractor left the site.
The bridge is said to have been reflected in this 2016 Budget with hope that something tangible would be done to construct the bridge.
All the several efforts made by The AUTHORITY to speak with the management, including the Managing Director of Julius Berger Construction Company, Mr. Wolfgang Goetsch, on why work was stopped on the project, proved abortive.
Some stakeholders, however, claimed that the construction giant abandoned work immediately President Buhari took over the mantle of leadership about 10 months ago, following a presidential directive that work at the site should discontinue.
An employee of the firm (name withheld) who claimed he was recruited in April 2014 at the site of the bridge, admitted that Julius Berger had stopped work at the project site since June 2015 due to non-funding by the Federal Government.
According to him, the company only did soil texture and property evaluation before leaving the site with almost all their working equipment.
“So, if the Federal Government is ever serious about the project, let it release the money for work to start,” he said.
Comrade Casmir lzukanne, who lives close to the project site, said: “We don’t know why they stopped work and we are not happy or feel comfortable with the Federal Government, because this is the only bridge that links the South East to other parts of Nigeria and it’s economic importance to our country cannot be quantified.”
The Campaign for Democracy (CD) was emphatic on President Buhari as it called on the Federal Government to mobilise to the site of the 2nd Niger Bridge to end the marginalisation of Ndigbo.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Dede Uzor A.Uzor, CD wondered why such a national project should be abandoned and politicised.
Other stakeholders in Onitsha, Anambra State asked President Buhari to direct Julius Berger to return to site to continue the construction of the Second Niger Bridge.
The President of the Amalgamated Association of Anambra Traders (AMATAS), Chief Okwudili Ezenwankwo and the Chairman, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) Nze Emeka Umeagbalasi, among others, called on Buhari to direct Julius Berger to return to site.
Ezenwanko said that he was hopeful that work would resume again at the site because he reliably gathered that the bridge was included in this year’s budget, which has just been passed by the National Assembly.
Chief Anigbata, who also said that the bridge was reflected in this year’s budget, expressed the confidence that Buhari will execute the bridge because of its strategic importance to Nigeria and Ndigbo.
He said that the Federal Government needs to put an infrastructure like the Second Niger Bridge on the ground to boost trade, commerce and agriculture.
But Umeagbalasi expressed doubt in Buhari completing the bridge, given his disposition towards the Ndigbo, saying that they are watching him closely.
He called on the Ndigbo, especially political leaders, rights activists and media practitioners to continue to mount pressure on the president so that he may have a rethink, even if he was not keen.
On their part, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Igbo monarchs and other stakeholders, called on the Federal Government, to as a matter of urgent national importance, resume work on the 2nd Niger Bridge.
The Coordinator of the Seven States Chairmen of Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), Mazi Alex Okemiri, said the suspension of work on the project stands tall among the injustices against the Ndigbo.

That did not make any difference in 2015 and that region abi village was generally irrelevant. We've already minus all your worthless votes.

Osyabj:
Speak for yourself only.

Your discredited, patently corrupt pdp does not and will never speak for the Igbo nation of over of 50 million independent minded people worldwide.

The Igbo nation appreciates the good work Buhari is doing in the greater Eastern Region states of South south and South East!

Pdp sponsored ipob and it failed. Pdp and Jonathan blew up crude and gas pipelines and it failed

Now pdp and thief Obasanjo wants to start a fake looter new party. It will fail as well.


Even if the pdp thieves convinces the Eastern region states of SS & SE to vote 100% pdp, the looter party can not get 5 million votes from the Eastern region. Period.
C
Election is not won on the pages of social media, but by the number of real people who actually go out and vote.

Pmb will remain after 2019. And all pdp minions can go and jump into the river Niger, where they belong.

Anuofia.

Jona was not a terrorist, but he denied you the basics and left you terrorized and dying on death trap roads all over the SE like stone age existence, but it doesn't matter as long as you are allowed to hate and show the world how bigoted and hateful you are. Of course, you don't care.

Jona your hero, didn't give a shit about you, your leaders care less either. ekweremadu for almost a decade in the Senate looked the other way while your roads perished even though yearly budgets runs through his official desk before going to Jona for signature, but never bothered to add 1 kobo for roads in his own SEm same way you've had works minister, aviation minister and so on, but they all slept on the job and forgot where they came from, but at election time, they fill you up with hatred and finger pointing away from their own callousness, incompetence and dereliction of duty. .


We know your main preoccupation in life already, you don't have to keep reminding us.


With all your hate mongering, bigoted and tribalistic ways, PMB remains a better person because he's not acknowledging your odious behavior, he's doing the right and Godly thing by making sure your sons and daughters won't keep dying on the death trap roads and highways in the SE, something Jona and your own leaders care less about.

Same with the 2nd NB your leaders and Jona refused to build, PMB and Fashola's name will be on the commissioning headstone to serve as another positive reminder for many generations to come that the people you hate so much came to your rescue, not Jona or any of your own neglectful, mean-spirited and incompetent leaders.


Hate kills.

There are things a woman should neve say or do, what you typed up there portrayed you as a classless bitter lady filled with hate. A dude may type that crap & look cool, but for a lady its just what a low class prostitute may type.

I don't know you, but am seriously disappointed

fineroad:
Why should you clap for Buhari for doing the least he could do? Doing that one Federal Road in South-East out of myriads of abandoned Federal Roads cannot deserve a clap or consideration. And of course, the project will be abandoned immediately he is sure of the votes. So please spare us those propaganda.

Pataricatering:
can you pls face politics and not concern yourself with how women should talk or not . You called her a prostitute yet in your mind you have class ! You talk like a tout but think you are a gentleman ! Take her up on the issues she raised if you can !

GavelSlam:
And this is based on what precedence?

seguno2:
Precedence of cancelling Lagos light rail by Jakande in 1984 since he was a military dictator who did not need anyone’s votes.

GavelSlam:
What does that have to do with elections?

Are you aware Nigeria was already under Austerity measures due to recession from Shagari's time as President ?

Do you know a barrel of oil we less than $20 at the time?

seguno2:
Making excuses for the serial failure?
Austerity measures, recession yet the dullard was importing milk, vegetable oil, rice, sugar etc as Essential commodities “Essenco” with the Nigerian National Supply Company, NNSC thereby worsening the situation?
Please keep your excuses to yourself.

GavelSlam:
They were essential commodities because we weren't producing.

Contracts have been issued and cancelled by all successive governments. So you can pick and choose.

After his 18 month stint one served for 8 years while another did for 5 with approx 6 months between, neither thought it important to revive the rail.

Perhaps it was just a white elephant.

Then why will your deity (Buhari) make campaign promises which he can not fulfil and propagandist remark against the previous administration, only to assume position of leadership to be this clueless, directionless, nepotistic, bigoted, incompetent... The list is endless
