this is the road connecting tWo A*C sate EDO-------LAGOS

make them handle their shiiiiit

What?

The amount of money spent on repairing this road in the past forty years will have built a viable rail line between Lagos and Benin several times over. There are some things about this country that just defy understanding. Sometimes I just wonder how this country can produce such a depth of ignorance amongst so many, many people.

If I was in government I will suggest all interstate highways be sold to state governments and focus all attention entirely on rail transport starting with the most congested routes to gain economic traction and build development momentum from there.

luckygeee:
na who we go blame, Buhari or APC?

Blame PDP as usual

The Road has been like this for like 2 years, and the funny thing is that it's never dry even during dry season.

luckygeee:
lol, God bless the federal republic of Nigeria

for what

Is that Blue thing also a Vehicle on a Road?

tactius:
Put a toll gate after fixing the road...and use the money raised to fix and keep the road in good repair.

It is the only realistic solution.

i dont quite agree with you, we shouldnt pay through our noses because government wants to do its primary duty

Poor drainage system is d major problem in Edo state. Nomatter how they spend on road construction or rehabilitation,once there is poor drainage system all is nothing.
It's not only Benin ,go to Ekpoma u'll see d same thing nd Auchi!
I fink they need to spend money on good drainage system network. Not just giving a road drainage system, but networking all d road with a good drainage system

This is a portion of the Benin-Lagos road located at Ishihor Benin city directly opposite the Army school of Supply and transport S&T barracks Isihor. this bad road usually leaves many commuters stranded especially after a heavy downpour as many drivers will bluntly refuse to take that routes for fear that their buses would be damaged. many vehicles have been damaged in this portion of the road and only a brave few would dare to take that risk.
Shops and business owners cited along the expressway have been made to count their losses as that road is inaccessible by customers. even the popular Megom bar and Osunpec filling station can only enjoy services during dry season and the latter has since closed its business.

DANGERS!!!
Many drivers in other to avoid this bad and over flooded portion of the road have decided to take the ONE WAY route which has claimed the lives of many road users. even the soldiers in the barracks are guilty of taking this ONE WAY route that led to the death of a female UNIBEN student some years ago.

APPEAL!!!
We therefore call on the Federal Government and the ministry of work to come to the aid of road users and make sure that a proper drainage system is constructed. we plead that enough life has been lost already and a lasting solution be carried out.

please lets make sure this appeal gets to front page so the neccessary agencies will be aware!!!

Your headline is totally misleading. I left my house from Lagos to Owerri three weeks ago, my vehicle did not touch muddy ground until I got to Benin/Asaba bypass and also muddy ground at Upper Iweka Onitsha. Please stop deceiving so many people here.

Dirty yoruba shit land. Keep waiting for the government to fix your villages. Slaves

I schooled in uniben, so I know the history and origin of that flooded area. First it an indictment on the kind of civil engineers we produced and the kind of government we have, who see substandard as the common man dividends of governance. When RCC was constructing this road back in 2012. I knew this problem will arise .since the road starts from total filling station at dawnson , a covered drainage from there to oluku bypass was the ideal thing to wade off run off water. The soil mechanics of the total length will indicate a high soil retention ability .The exact position of this havoc is megom junction opposite S & T barracks. The asphalt layer is higher than the ground level of the S&T section while the other is the same .since their is no drainage system the water gathers and flows directly into evubmore street thereby causing untold hardship for the street residents. They decided to use bagged sand as a embankment for the water.it was so high that anytime rain falls the water is trapped.

When you ask them now, this is what you'll hear:
Buhari: "sixteen years of PDP"

Fashola: "sixteen years of PDP"

Osibanjo: "sixteen years of PDP"


Oshiomole: "sixteen years of PDP"


Irresponsible bunch!

EXTRA LEVEL

There was a country. The only thing now is to hand over it to God..or our former colonial masters or to split to 3 parts

Extra level

The bad roads aren't the causes of accidents

But I tot they said Jonathan fixed it.

it is one thing to fix, another to maintain

anochuko01:
looking like a potential armed robbery spot

The people that need to fix the road has already robber the citizens
I guess u are talk of the likely second robbery

fairfora:
Erosion on Lagos road is quite historical. Thanks to Jonathan during oshiomohle administration, who revamped uselu-Lagos road. Erosion velocity there used to drive away taxis in those days. As a youth corper in 2003, I witnessed one which sacked almost every resident in that area, up to uselu market.

Is Uselu road a federal road?

B1ak3:
Is Uselu road a federal road?

yes. It's been there before the bypass was constructed , it was the major road that links other parts of the south south and south east regions...I guess you asked because I mentioned Jonathan lol

fairfora:
yes

Ok thanks. I was thinking it was a state road

tactius:
Put a toll gate after fixing the road...and use the money raised to fix and keep the road in good repair.

It is the only realistic solution.

I left home 1987
there was one tall gate-- road was ok
visit four year later there was four toll gate the road was wrong'
people working or managing the toll gate steal the money

what nonsense is these? i thought these road was rehabilitated 4 years ago. .so it has gotten to these point. ....when will things be ok in this country?

Another looting avenue for politicians

Fixed four years ago but incompetent rogue Bubu cannot maintain and continue the work since it is not in his part of the country.
Buhari is the most divisive president we have ever had.

Are you sure the road was rehabilitated in 2012
According to the BMC people, Jonathan did absolutely nothing. So please check your date and reconfirm.
