[size=14pt]Please referee. stop this match now! This is no longer a contest. This is complete smackdown! A complete mismatch! Who was the fool that put this match together? huh! TKO! [/size]

donphilopus: What have you been arguing over?? That Uduaghan is better than Oshiomole, or what??

Please click page (0) on the bottom or top of the page and start from the beginning. Stop being lazy my friend!

enm: This is why sometime I worry for for nigeria. See I am not one of those who just believe whatever they read without finding out fact behind the news or try to locate and digest every untold story in a story which is the real story.

For your information from creche to my working adult hood, my life is lagos. And for your information am a supporter of AD following tinubu to ACN then to fashola even canvass for him against tinubu on fashola second term bid, so if you see me not shouting apc and co its because am not so blind, deaf or dumb to know the truth from half truth to total falsehood. Let try calling a spade a spade not shovel.

The niger delta youth, yes most of them are unruly and disrespectful like some of us here in the west we say, they are one set of youth that do not shy away from questioning their politician or elders even their kings, that is why you see most of this politicians, elders and kings amidst heavily tight security whenever they are in their own domain.

So my brother you started this thread and it about delta and edo even though am from delta I stay away from commenting what I don't know about. So let leave it at delta vs edo atleast am getting to know something about the two state, as I said earlier leave lagos and jonathan out of this. Thanks

Please leave me and this guy alone. I have an appointment with him today. I am not even an Uduaghan fan. But on comparison, he is way way better than Oshiomole. Oshiomole is a fraud like most APC governors.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]For a man who claim Airport road in Benin was not constructed by EDSG led by Oshiomhole, then you msut be a mad man for sure

First you claimed it was only schools, now you have admitted that there are actually roads, but hmm..actually they are dirty.. hehe... you be real exotic clown .

Please exit this thread as it is not meant for "Ogogoro drinkers" as this thread concerns Edo and Delta states good governance comparison and only natural born Edo and Delta citizens should post developments in their respective states.[/quote]You cannot hide today. No matter where you go, I will follow you. There is no rest for you today! Oshiomole did not construct Airport road. He renovated sections of it and demarcated it. You cannot hide anywhere today.

Delafruita: you have the wrong interpretation of the law my friend.perhaps you should refer to section 4 and 100 of the 1999 constitution.then take your time to study the exclusive and concurrent legislative list in the second schedule.then you'd understand that the stance of the LASG is right.moreso lagos state has its own version of the FOI which can be used in place of the FOI

Absolute hogwash! Lagos state does not have any version of the FOI. That is bullcrap! Why are they running away from the FOI? What are they hiding? Why are they detering people from having access to the states information. Simple questions that requires simple answers, not the hogwash defense you have posted.

The only reason they are preventing the FOI is because of the monumental fraud they are desperately covering up. They are terribly corrupt.

Lagos state government is a monumental fraud and they will be exposed very very soon

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Really? No wonder the politicians from where most of you are from take you people to be foo.ls big time. I know you only started reading news about Lagos when Fashola began to show your type what good governance means, hence you think that the Ikeja IPP is the first in Lagos and also the first to power street lights in Lagos.

Use your etisalat mb very well to educate yourself... un doh [/quote]Which good governance did Fashola show? You mean the schools were children sit on the windows to write exams? You mean all the dilapidated schools all over Lagos? Or you mean that one funny 2 story building that agbameta keeps posting from different angles, like 100 times? Why did Tinubu go to the UK to treat common knee problem after your good governance charade? Liars unlimited! No rest for you today

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Even your own fellow liars have abandoned you as more and more pictures burst their lies Even Deltans whenever they want to castigate Uduaghan always use Oshiomhole roads and Schools as an example for Uduaghan. #FACTS[/quote]You mean these dirty roads pictures you are posting is bursting anything? You are delusional bro. People have used Oshiomole as example because they were deceived. Now we are bursting the lies. Just the same way people used Fashola as example and now, he has been laid bare as a fraud. No rest for you people.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Did you not claim that it was only 30% of schools Oshiomohole has renovated? Hehe.. I am still posting roads and these are village roads which I am sure your own village would like to have if your governor was not serial looter [/quote]You are posting absolute rubbish and making a fool of yourself. Are those the roads you say Oshiomole has constructed that makes him a performing governor. Please go back to page 3 and 4 and see examples of roads which the castigated Uduaghan has done and come back and tell me how these dirty roads you are posting is commendable? Very big shame on you

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Hehe.. look who is calling some else a Visitor. Do you have a 10 x 10 plot of land in Benin not to talk of a house? I told you, stop taking that thin GEJ takes in the morning okay

As for 1st and 2nd East Circular road. Those roads are listed as part of the phase two Benin City renewal plan. Just like many roads in GRA. However, Oshiomhole have clearly said He does not want to construct road and leave Edo State with huge debt that it cannot service, so some of the roads may not be constructed in His time, however, these roads have been designed and only waiting for the contracts to be awarded once the necessary funds have been sorted out.[/quote]Just look at the hogwash of an excuse you posted! huh! After six years? You are a real big sycophant! You are shameless. After six years, you are spewing this hogwash and lying through your teeth? What a load of bile! Benin has one of the best network of roads in Nigeria. All a governor needs to do in Benin is just fix some strategic roads like 2nd, 1st, textile mill, Okhoro, Erie, Igun, amongst a few others and Benin will open up like a morning flower.

But no, all you and your thieving governor has done is propaganda after propaganda, just like they do in APC states. Noise making and more noise making. Shame on you people. You have defeated yourself on this thread.

Symphony007: the police has every right to investigate accidents. The issue here is why did they bring politics into a case that clearly had nothing to do with politics? Everybody connected to the case has come out to say the case has nothing to do with politics and the police are even retracting their statements. The police needs to be held accountable for politicizing the death of two innocent nigerians.

Who is everyone? You mean you sycophants on NL?

Olaolufred: A court is not death.
It is a place for justice.
I think you said the right thing.
Instead of IBU messing things up, the court will put it in proper shape.

Why are you crying and defending a murderer now? The video of the house is all that is needed to convince a judge that the guy is capable of murder. The video also proves intent. He has already shown his intention to murder his political opponents. It is a small thing

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Jatu Village road.

WARNING: Edo inter village roads are constructed tarred and not graded with red sand.[/quote]Hope you realize that you have posted only 4 roads since morning and out of those, only two are newly constructed roads and on top of that, they are not even up to one of the roads posted for delta state. They look very tiny and dirty.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Tell your puppet GEJ and the Uromi messenger Minister fo Works to release MM Way so Oshiomhole can expand it to 4 lanes as initially planned. As for 3rd East circular road and MM Way, you are confusing yourself. A stretch of that road is what was named MM Way. Just like in Upper Adesuwa road in GRA, the whole stretch is actually Upper Adesuwa all the way to Benoni, but in-between there are sections names after people just like we have here in the UK too.[/quote]You are a visitor to Benin so stop talking nonsense. Except the road has very recently been renamed, that whole stretch from Akpakpava to Sapele road round about is called MM way, formerly 3rd east circular road. IF the FG is the reason Oshiomole has not done the road, why has he not also done 2nd east circular and 1st east circular roads which also runs the same distance and serves almost the same purpose as the MM way? No rest for you today

All these APC sycophants can shout all day. My Llyod should go and explain himself in court.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]To think you are a Nigerian and you are spewing this rubbish that Lagos State IPP just came on stream is worrisome yet again! So lagos did not have an IPP during Tinubu's tenure that was functional? Did you even know what that first IPP was for?[/quote]So if Lagos has been using an IPP since Tinubu, why is there a very big generator under Ikeja bridge which is used to power the street lights around Obafemi awolowo road, Oba Akran roads and environs? I need an answer

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]You are on a long long thin! So Igbinedion Educational Centre is in 3rd East Circular road? Okada Fry Chicken is in 3rd East Circular road?

Abeg take am easy with your Sapele water this morning [/quote]3rd east circular road (or Murtala Mohammed Way ) starts from that junction or round about up to akpakpava road. Interestingly, that major road in Benin is in a very sorry state as we speak. Kada fried chicken (not Okada fried chicken) is on the junction of the two roads

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Hehe... FYI, We know Lagos Street lights are powered by IPPs built by LSG. I am sure even your fellow liars on the troll would deny your claims. Like I said, nothing wrong in powering street lights with generators and in fact the street lights in Ring road in Benin City are connected to the same grid as Osadebe avenue, which is linked to the generating set in government house, hence the reason those street lights are always on.

However, in Effurun and Sapele, the very few roads with street lights ( which Ibori actually put in place) are powered by generators which is not an issue but that Uduaghan's wife is the Diesel contractors that supplies the diesel that powers them is the real issue dude [/quote]Lagos state IPP just came on stream not long ago and is still not connected to every street light or traffic light. Before the IPP came on, Lagos state street light were powered by generators. The generator at Ikeja under bridge is there for all to see. You cant hide bro

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Let me ask you, where in Sapele road was actually good? Is from Adesuma road junction, from NNPC side, or is it MM Way junction heading towards boundary road or Reservation Road? I mean where along Sapele road was good? Can you tell us please?[/quote]Sapele road has always been one of the good roads in Benin from when I was a kid. The stretch from Ring road up to 3rd east circular (which you call MM way because you are clearly a visitor to Benin), has always been good. But the gutters were not paved and most of those sections were not demarcated.

Garri the 1st: The picture below calls you a LIAR just like Taharqa..

The pictures doesnt show a constructed road. Everyone who lives in Benin knows that Sapele road was not constructed by Oshiomole. JUst like airport road, akpakpava, Ekenwan roads. Oshiomole has not constructed any new road in Benin city. That is a fact. Maybe outside Benin city, but no newly constructed road in Benin city

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]The street lights being powered by generators is not the issue, the issue is they Uduaghan's wife is the one supplying the diesels for the generators and the street lights are switched on 3 or 4 times every week and by 4am or 5am they are off. This is a FACT.[/quote]Again you make a fool of yourself because Lagos state street lights are powered by generators with diesels provided by Fashola's wife. You are making a fool of yourself my friend. Lagos state actually started that practice and many states are copying it including Ogun and Rivers states

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]I shameless liar! You mean Sapele road was constructed by GEJ .
By the way, this thread was to showcase good governance in Edo vs. Delta state, so please just watch in 3D ( if you even have a 3D computer screen or 3D wifi tv at home ) as we speak in pictures [/quote]Sapele road wsa not constructed by Oshiomole. You always make a foool of yourself with your shallow propaganda. Sapele has been a good road since I was a kid. One of those roads that has always been good and just needing little touches from time to time, just like ring road. He paved the open gutters and demacated the road. I can credit him for that, but he didnt construct the road

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]First you claimed it was only schools, now you are admitting that roads have been built! I prophesy over your, that 2014 is the year you will start to confess and speak the truth IJN, say Amen

I said I have over 21 roads of pictures to upload in Benin City alone. Over 35 roads out side Benin City completed. Shame my archiver server is down unah for hear wen.[/quote]I have never changed anything I have posted. I am not like you. I said clearly and will repeat it to your deaf ear that I only rate him in schools because he did some schools. I dont rate him at all in roads because, like I posted above, he has done very little and he didnt build those roads. He renovetd them. In some cases, like Sapele road, he paved them and demacated them.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Which new project? In Effurun? the same Effurun where the street lights are powered by generator that Uduaghan's wife company also supply the Diesel and the lights are only switched on three or four times a week [/quote]First you made a fool of yourself when you said th street lights are power by generator because many Lagos street lights have been powered by generators too.

Secondly, you are a liar as usual when you claim the generators are only switched on 3 or 4 times week.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]You are a shameless human being.

How many lanes are in this Sapele and Akpakpava roads picture below?[/quote]This was was not constructed by Oshiomole. It was demated and paved. It was never a bad road. So your propaganda is crap

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Hehe.. but the Pictures are for real nah Why is it so difficult for you people to accept the truth? I have not even posted pictures of the new Osadebe avenue layout, Benoni Street, Upper Adesuwa road, Abudu central road, Auchi central roads.

As for schools, I am sure during the LG council election campaign when Oshiomhole visited villages to campaign, you saw the pictures of the schools there. Virtually all of them were looking like the ones I have posted here.

Hehe... Do I care where Lucky Igbinedion is now? NOPE... but do I care that Edo State is reborn? Absolutely YES! So watch in 3D as I burst your lies with Pictures [/quote]YOu have been repeating the same pictures over and over again. What else have you got to post?

1. Let me help you by listing the roads that have been fixed in Benin. Ring Road was renovated, not built. Ring has never being a bad road. Only needed some clean up and decoration which Oshiomole did

2. The demacation and expansion of Akpakpava road, which was started by Osunbor, was completed

3. Ekenwan Road, just up to around Mat-Ice was renovated and demacated.

4. Airport road was demacated and some portions renovated. Note that none of these is a new road

5. Sapele road was demacated. This has always been a good road

6. Some parts of Siluko road and textile mill road were renovated. This I liked because it helped movement withing that area

7. Some streets around Egharevba street was renovated allowing cars coming from New Benin road to come through costain down to ewa road. This is the best I commend Oshiomole for in all his roads.

8. Some roads inside GRA were renovated

9. The drainage down mission road is being built but work has since reduced since his second term


What is the state os the remaining roads in Benin?

1. 1st, 2nd and 3rd east circular road are eyesores.

2. Mission road as we speak is a gully infested road. Note that this is one of the most important roads in Benin.

3. Erie street and evirons, an eyesore.

4. Ogbe quarters and environs. Terrible

5. Owina, Agho, Erhunwhuse roads, comatose

6. Okhoro road, comatose

7. Textile mill road, comatose

8. Ikpoba hill roads, comatose

9. Lucky way, the only major road constructed by lucky Igbnedion is fast turning into a moat

10. Sakponba road and inner roads, comatose

11. Adolor road, not even motorable and still flooded as usual

12. Uwasota road up to Ewharake spare part market, a complete gully and a jungle. If you take your car through that route for one month, it is dead, gauranteed.

Should I go on?

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Uyi,
I think you are mistaken by thinking the paved roads done by Oshiomhole are mainly in Benin City. When PDP begin to say that Oshiomhole has abandoned Benin City for villages.

My archive server appears to be down else I would have posted pictures of kilometers upon kilometers of village roads tarred, with bridges in ovia, Abudu, Igarra, Ibillo, Fuga, Auchi, Ewhohimi etc.

The same with the schools, with 4 model schools currently under construction.

To think all of these are being done with the very thin Edo Budget compared to What you see in Delta says alot.[/quote]You are a liar. Benin is my place of birth. My second home. Where do you know in Benin? You are a shameless liar. The only thing I can commend Oshiomole for is the renovated schools and they are not even up to 30 percent of the schools in Benin and some few in other LGAs. Oshiomole has over 300 SAs with official cars. They all litter the state house playing drafts and cards. Even Maleke and Picollo are SAs. Oshiomole is a big fraud. Even the Akpakpava road you posted was started by Osunbor. Lucky that you all castigate is the right hand man of Oshiomole right now and all the old PDP crooks are now in ACN chopping fat. Liars

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Still on School - Niger College.

WARNING : Newly built schools in Edo State have complete Desk and Chairs with tiled floors, glassed windows and well decorated metal doors[/quote]I can count on my two hands the number of schools renovated in Edo state. 70 percent of the schools are still in comatose. If you want, I can start calling them for you.

Oshiomole is a fraud. All the roads he has done is not even up to one FG road. That is why they keep repeating the pictures of ring road. Oshiomole is a big fraud

ilugunboy: You talk carelessly often.

Any semblance of truth in most of your post get enmeshed in your oaf and desire to put all PDP inefficiencies on the door step of the opposition leaders.

Tell your Oga to quit if he is running out of ideas on how to tackle the Multi-prong problems bedeviling this country..

He is saying the truth and we will continue to shout it loud! Did Tinubu and Buhari not come out to support Boko Haram and resist the state of emergency last year? Did they not? Answer me? The evil axis of Aggrieved criminals are trying to cut our nose to spite our face. Criminals. See your fellow sycophant, ndu_chucks have opened a pathetic thread advocating GEJ renew their oil licenses so they can support him. Criminals and wicked souls trying to bring down Nigeria. Just know that when you eventually bring it down, there will be nothing for you to rule.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]@theoctopus, when you decide to come out of the bush and chat like a civilized human, we can have a conversation.[/quote]Look at the thread a supposedly civilized man opened. You opened a thread to propagate the blackmail of the northern oligarchy. Something we already are aware of. You have now proven us right! You are both an ignoramus and an arrogant foool who still think Nigeria belongs to you lot in 2014. I will never stop calling you who you really are. You are a big foool for insulting Nigerians

— January 2, 2014

A couple of years ago, travelling on Nigerian roads, especially the federal highways was a nightmare to most Nigerians. The road and power sectors were rated by the citizens as the most neglected infrastructure by successive administration. In the last two years, the horizon is being brightening for the road sector and the year 2013 has stood out with some of the country’s notorious roads turned to highways of pleasurable ride.

This is attested to by the testimonies of major stakeholders in the industry, road transporters, especially luxury buses operators. For instance, in early July 2013, at the peak of the rainy season, members of the Association of Luxury Bus Owners of Nigeria paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Works, Arc. Mike Onolememen, in his office at Mabushi, Abuja. The curiosity of the visit lay in the fact that, rather than being an occasion to catalogue the woes of transporters, the latter came to express thanks for the vast improvement in the road network in the country. The luxury bus transporters were led by the association’s Secretary, Mr. Frank Nneji, who is also the founder of ABC Transport Company, which is quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

About six weeks before that courtesy visit, ABC Transport Company had slashed its fares in a widely published advert in The Punch newspaper of Monday, May 20, 2013, with the caption, “The Roads Are Getting Better,” and gave its reason solely as the marked improvement in the country’s arterial roads. Again, in October, the Chief Executive Officer of Ifesinachi Motors, Prince Emeka Mamah, added his voice of praise to the Federal Government for the remarkable turn-around in the state of our highways.

This is the fitting background to a deep appreciation of the steady transformation of federal highways through the urgent efforts to reclaim the national road network from the abject state of disrepair, which the President Goodluck Jonathan administration inherited. With unflagging commitment to the rehabilitation, construction, and expansion of highways, the Federal Government is catalysing economic growth and national integration through road transportation. The wastages and suffering of a couple of years ago have been largely eliminated as travel times on some of the country’s notorious highways have been considerably reduced. This is why it is easy to appreciate the import of the courtesy visit by luxury bus owners to the minister of works, and the deserving praise they showered on him.

By June 2013, the Federal Ministry of Works had completed 32 road projects covering a distance of over 2,000km. These include the dualisation of Ibadan-Ilorin road section I (Ibadan-Oyo) in Oyo State; reconstruction of Vom-Manchok road in Plateau State; dualisation of Onitsha-Owerri Road (section I) and Onitsha Eastern Bypass, in Anambra State; completion of the rehabilitation of Funtua-Gusau-Sokoto road (section II: Gusau-Talata Mafara) in Zamfara and Sokoto states; completion of the rehabilitation of Katsina-Daura road in Katsina State, as well as completion of the rehabilitation of Ijebu Igbo-Ajegunle-Araromi-Ife-Sekona Road (section II) in Ogun State.

There are also a number of on-going road dualization projects of major arterial highways in the country. These include: Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja Expressway; Kano-Maiduguri road; Lokoja-Okene-Benin road; construction of Loko-Oweto Bridge over River Benue with approach roads in Nasarawa and Benue states; dualisation of Suleja-Minna road in Niger State; rehabilitation of Benin-Ore-Sagamu Expressway, rehabilitation of Sokoto-Jega-Kontagora-Makera Road in Sokoto, Kebbi and Niger states; rehabilitation of Ilorin-Kabba-Obajana road in Kwara and Kogi states, and several others. What is heart-warming is that significant progress has been made in these on-going dualisation and rehabilitation projects.

In addition, the construction of a new bridge over River Benue at Loko-Oweto is transforming into a reality, with the structural members fast springing up from the under-waters. About 150 piles have been drilled along with one reinforced concrete abutment, while 22 piers have been constructed. The project has already reached about 35 per cent completion, ahead of the planned progress. To this, we should add the Second Niger Bridge at Onitsha, and the flag-off of the total reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. In fact, 2013 witnessed the flag-off of the reconstruction, or major repairs, of a number of very important roads, including Mokwa-Bida Road, Akure-Ilesa Road, Mbaise-Ngwa Road, Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Sokoto-Tambuwal-Jega road, and Owerri-Umuahia road.

The conclusion is, therefore, inescapable that more happy motoring days beckon on federal highways.

Also, a number of roads have been given a new lease of life under the Road Development Programme of the Federal Ministry of Works via the Road Sector Development Team – the collaborative platform between the Federal Ministry of Works (on behalf of the Federal Government) and the World Bank. Some road projects that have benefitted from this programme are: Jebba-Lafiaji road in Niger State; Takai-Albasu-Gaya road in Kano State; Nafada-Gombe Abba road in Gombe State; Hong-Mubi road in Adamawa State; Okpala-Igwurita road in Imo State; Ado-Ilumoba-Agbado-Ikare road sections A and B in Ekiti State; Dingaya-Galambi-Rungo road in Sokoto State; Rumukurshi-Chokocho road in Cross River State; Akure-Owo road in Ondo State; Kurfi-Chiranchi road in Katsina State; Lafiagi-Mokwa road in Niger State, and Lafia-Doma road in Nasarawa State.

All these are not paper projects or the proverbial elephant projects as Nigerians who ply them or are the host communities and beneficiaries have attested to the government’s commitment to their execution.

The Apapa-Oshodi Expressway was a source of embarrassment and agony to many Nigerians before the administration of President Jonathan. Serious attention has been given to the road, resulting to the completion of section I, while work is progressing on the Trailer Park, Dedicated Bridge leading to Tin-Can Island Port from Liverpool Round-about, and the entire section II, Phase II from Beachland Junction to Cele Bus Stop.

Work is almost completed on the Benin-Ofosu end of the road where motorists hitherto suffered prolonged delays occasioned by perennial failed sections. A major part of the road has been asphalted while work is progressing on the recently awarded contract for the reconstruction of the outstanding sections on Benin-Ofosu-Ore-Ajebandele-Sagamu (Phase III).

The Kano-Maiduguri dualisation project is the major arterial highway connecting Kano to Borno states, via Jigawa, Bauchi, and Yobe states. The road is 553km long and was awarded in five (5) sections to five contractors. The progress of construction was however hampered recently due to insecurity leading to the kidnapping and death of some expatriate personnel. However, the Kano Western Bye-pass Flyover has been completed and opened to traffic. As government intensifies efforts at restoring normalcy in the North-East Zone where these projects are domiciled, the Federal Ministry of Works will also accelerate its pace of work.
