this reporter is regreting for making the mistaking of placing nigeria in the 120th position after going through the positive remarks or comments. That is why i like punch new paper. As usual, punch would have placed nigeria on the last position. Since Naija no take last, it means we on the right track.

Come to ph, and you will see bad roads. I can comfortably say that there is no road in ph without a pot hole. Then go to Oyibo and you ll see a dictionary description of bad roads Eleme aba road is a death trap on it's own, east /west road nko. It's not today we started hearing these stories. Yet we buy new cars every day, where can you drive them. Who can comfortably drive as 150km/h without saying his last prayer? The government is not trying on roads at all. And all these indigenous constructn companies re not helping matters....corruption every where. God help us.

SlyIg: You actually mean that there are some countries in this world whose roads are worst than Nigeria roads? SMH ...



Imagine that lie, i have been to many countries that fell below Nigeria. eg Russia federation. i never saw any bad road in many cities i visited in Russia. I wonder how the roads were viewed. Uganda roads are like the Nigeria roads for sure. But the position of Nigeria should have been less than where it was placed. The worst roads in the world are in Africa. Nigeria have a leading position in the bad roads in the world.

How do you expect Nigeria to have a good,and Lasting ones,when most of the roads are constructed by roadside bricklayers,instead of Construction Firms. Nigeria roads are nothing but deathtrap.we have lost so many souls to these deathtraps.

daywatcher: So we our roads beta pass Ukraine and Poland? How Brazil come be 118th? Even Norway..80 something?

The article is misleading. A poll was conducted to determine peoples perceptions of their road infrastructure.
This is a perception index and does not in anyway reflect the comparative state of roads in the various countries.

The heading should read, NIGERIANS 12OTH WORST PERCEPTION OF THIER ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE.

DECEMBER 17th to 22nd IS ‘bad NIGERIAN road week’

December 17th to 22nd has been declared ‘bad Nigerian road week’.

We implore you to observe this day by posting online pictures of bad roads you have contended with this year in your neighbourhood and on your journeys. Kindly post a picture on facebook and twitter on this week.

Nigeria is not in a state of war, and yet we have roads that are so bad that you would be forgiven for thinking that we are just emerging from a civil war. How can we explain craters on our highways-craters that are so wide that vehicles have to pass through a bush path in order to continue their journey? How can we explain pot holes that straddle our local streets and states when our local authorities collect taxes as well as government allocations?

Is it possible to embarrass our leaders to action over the poor state of roads in the country? The answer to that question is a resounding ‘No!’ They know the state of the roads in the nation and they do not care. We the youth of Nigeria can however make our leaders uncomfortable using the power of social media.

The traditional media has been compromised by publishers who wine and dine with the people in power. Social media however is your voice, and you can use this medium to voice your displeasure. The power of social media is one that the president himself is aware of, hence his decision to announce his presidential candidacy via Facebook. Social media has brought down African dictators in recent years- dictators that were more prudent with their nation’s resources than our kleptomaniac rulers.

We are slowly arriving at a dangerous point where sane people begin to accept the abnormal with a shrug. Governors and the President buy private jets to fly across the country while the roads they are entrusted to maintain are death traps for the rest of us. Politicians are flown abroad for treatment while the majority of the population dies of treatable diseases every year. Public education is destroyed from primary to university levels and government officials send their children abroad to be educated. It is not normal, and we (the sane Nigerians) should stop accepting these things as normal lest we lose our sanity.

The work is plenty, but we shall start by bringing international attention to the state of roads in our country. Let us all mark this week, as a day to register our displeasure. Post a picture of a bad road, state the date it was taken, and location of the road that you feature.

Please send sms and BB messages to inform friends of this campaign. Also, rebroadcast this message to your e-mail contacts, and also post on Facebook and other social media sites. Let us unify and pressure our government to work.

We urge civil society groups to set up awareness programmes to coincide with the week, in order to publicize this campaign. Blog owners and young artistes are encouraged to use their popularity to promote this week of dissent and public awareness.

We talk too much without action in Nigeria, and you can be the one to change this attitude. Or are you not tired yet?

Remember that without activity from you, this message will not be successful. You can be part of a movement that seeks to ensure your comfort on Nigerian roads.

Invest as little as ten minutes of your time to this online activism. Send this message to as many people as possible.

In addition, Nigeria is occupying the 64th position in the world on the kilometres of paved (tarred) roadways with a total of 28,980km compared to the United States first position with over 4.37 million km of paved roadways. I think we have the wherewithal to achieve more in this aspect because of raw materials if only we can pool our resources together!
