Sir, sorry please but what you are saying is not true, the state of our roads cannot be expressed by any dictionary word or phrase.

EliteStriker:


Do I look like a government public servant to you, this is how you guys support the politicians to impoverish the masses.

Every little helps. Citizens should not be surprised that if they build their homes with more professionalism and utilising more greenery, government roads will stand out in such terrible contrast, officials will not be able to escape the clarity of the deplorable roads in the saprophytic daze with which the atmosphere of mediocrity grips the Nation.

I'm already angry by default because of the way Nigeria is structured and it's been run by our leaders yet these thieves in power strive on daily basis to make us more angry

This was the fool who promised to stabilize power and give us light 24 hours within 6 months

This wicked man's utterance is a slap on our collective faces, more like telling us to our faces we can't do shiit

A day of reckoning shall one day come

Spits at one Nigeria

Na ogun go kill all of una.

You are on you own, 'cause the animals don't care.

Am hopeful the walls of Jericho will fall down flat very soon.

he hasnt gone to ogbomosho by road before

I think Nigerian should flood his Twitter page with pics of bad roads and its locations.

...but they are terrible...

Another foolish statement from educated man. Like servant like Boss! Being educated can't stop your foolishness because of your selfish interest!

With all due respect sir, you're spewing thrash and God will punish you and your generation.

I drove from Texas to California for 1500 miles which is almost same distance as a return trip from Lagos to Maiduguri and didn't see 1 single pot hole on my way.

It's obvious that you people are just heartless, callous and miserable. Your generations will one day pay. That country will soon implode and even the high and mighty will cry for safety. If almighty Gaddafi hid in a hole like a rat before he was caught, yours will be worse. You and your family will probably hide in a septic tank. Useless man!

The VC of AE-Funai should know that power is temporal as a result doesn’t last forever.
Since he refused to hearken to our cries and make a U-turn with regards to extension of payment of School Fees and Course Registration which he added N10,000 for late registration which he only gave 4 days as days of grace -Thursday and Friday while Saturday and Sunday are not working days.
FUNAI students have resolved to protest on Monday.
#NoBeSayWeNoGoPayButNaTimeWeNeed.

Please help us Spread the Information please.

After 10th of this month and we don't pay, they will withdraw us.

Please share this information.

that apo is an eyesore...... Not to talk of the nyanya axis

They're not only terrible,, they re dead trap

I AM GRATEFUL THE VOICE OF SOME OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS AGREES THAT THE MINISTER IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF IT. WHAT ABOUT CALABAR ITU ROAD MR FASHOLA YOU AND YOUR SHOULD SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE. BORROW EXAMPLE FROM MEXICO. ALLOW PRIVATE PERSONEL, BANKS, NURTW, STATE GOVT. TO BUILD FEDERAL ROADS AND CHARGE TOW GATE FEES TO RECOVER THEIR INVESTMENTS. WITH STRICT REGULATIONS. THE ROAD NIGHTMARE WILL BE OVER. MINISTER USE YOUR BRAIN.

He is right like these roads �

You're delusional. These people are definitely not in touch with reality.

Mr. Fashola..am disapointed in you for this statement..Please, go round the country by car and tell me the % of roads that are good compared to the bad one..The truth is that 95% of our roads are fucking bad..A[b]CCEPT OR LEAVE THE JOB FOR THE PERSON THAT BELIEVE THE ROADS ARE BAD SO THAT HE CAN QUICKLY FIX IT.[/b]

Minister of darkeness has spoken like a true gbatueyo.

nwakibie3:
Contrary to general reports making the rounds that Nigerian roads are terrible and not motorable, the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has said that Nigerian roads are not as bad as people think.

The Details: Fashola made this statement after the Federal Executive Council meeting where the sum of N58.4 billion was endorsed for the construction of Bida-Sachi-Nupeko road and the Nupeko-Patigi Bridge across River Niger, linking Nupeko and Patigi in Niger and Kwara States.

According to the Minister, “The roads are not as bad as they are often portrayed. I know that this is going to be your headline, but the roads are not that bad.”

He highlighted the paucity of funds and topography as major setbacks that stalled the process of road construction. He said poor topography levels in the South-South which can be likened to water tables were the reason road construction was so difficult in the region.

Opposing Voices: Fashola’s statement did sit well with Ibrahim Usman, Chairman, Infrastructure Development Committee, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria responded that Nigerian roads were deathtraps.

“I think the minister is being economical with the truth. The roads are terrible. Take for instance the Biu to Gombe road that took one-and-a-half hours in the past to ply, now it takes four hours to get from Biu to Gombe. The luck we have is that Boko Haram has not stuck on that road.

“Another terrible road is the Damaturu-Biu road. That also takes four hours when in the past it took less than two hours. That was where military trucks and equipment were seized and taken into the bush by bandits some weeks back. At least if the roads are good, cars can move with speed but when the roads are terrible, movement is difficult and it is easy for robbers to attack.”

Usman even added that he now abandoned his vehicles at home since they were no longer fit for Nigerian roads.

Timothy Olawale, the Director-General, Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) presumed that the Minister was obviously not aware of the roads he was talking about. He singled out the Ibadan-Oyo-Ogbomoso road as one of the numerous examples that demonstrated the deplorable road condition in Nigeria. He also added the road between Asaba and Enugu as another worthy example.

“The huge craters along the Oyo-Ogbomoso road can swallow vehicles. These are roads that were manageable before but they have gone completely bad. People spend hours on that expressway because of tankers that fall into the craters.

“The sad thing is that the government is not doing any kind of palliative work on the roads,” Olawale said.

“To say that the road between Asaba and Enugu is bad is an understatement. I think the minister is not in touch with reality. He needs to speak with his road maintenance engineers and get information about the true situation of Nigerian roads,” he added.

That's why we are like this...
We can Lie,
We can Denial

Thunder Fire your Generations..I wish you loose a loved one.. through Accident,on the same road you said it's not that bad... BASTARD

EliteStriker:


my guy you are not making sense, just listen to yourself. smh

In short, governors and people have same mindset. The mindset that builds a well considered home is the mindset that builds a well-considered road network.

95% of APC supporters will agree with you on this Mr. Minister..

The Minister has lost touch with reality. He's no longer the man he used to be. Just travelled to Abuja from Jalingo through Yola. The journey to Yola = 150Km too me about 4 hours. The potholes on the road was uncountable. Saw several broken down vehicles, no ambulances on the road & a lot of people stranded.

whatisthetruth:
See proper roads in the pics below.

Notice how they all have LANE MARKINGS plus no potholes. Just video game type roads.

I wonder why roads like these are hard to build in Nigeria?

Why? Why? Why?

Lol even In the next one billion years, Nigeria can never have roads like this and well maintained. Except only on one Condition. "If they evacuate all the Blacks or they go Extinct. And replaced with "White People"

This is what I don't understand about Nigeria... And narrow roads create bottle necks. Imagine calling a 2 lane road an expressway.
The pic you have up there is what Lagos Badagry expressway should be, but I see the design and I weep. Nigerians don't understand the meaning of free traffic flow.
