Mr Aboki:


So how is Akwa Ibom State and Rivers State able to fix FG roads in their states?!

Maybe its because in Lagos, Fashola uses 1 billion Naira to build 1 km of road and then mounts a Toll gate on the road for us to pay to pass. Then still collects taxes from us.

My guy, Fogerrabout!

Mr Aboki:

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Common Sense.. Its a Federal Government road, so lets leave it to continue reducing the population of Nigerians. Mr. Common Sense, If Lagos State government emulates the likes of Amaechi & Apkabio who build F.G roads in their state and collect the refunds from the government, Eko will Baje. Mr. Common Sense, Lets wait for eternity for the Federal Government in Abuja that has over 5000 roads Nationwide to think about to come fix this road for us, while more people die on that road by drowning. ARGH!! Mr Common Sense, now I get it.. If the road remains like this, its a win win for Lagosians, Every death = Aso-Ebi and Owambe, Every spoilt car = employmemnt for mechanics, Every stuck car = Money for touts, every dead person = one less mouth for LASG to worry about..

I love your common Sense mr. common Sense.

ba7man: So your definition of common sense is when the FG corners well over 50percent of Nigeria's generated income and shares the remaining over 36 states.

The states with their various responsibilities still have to help the FG fix the roads while the FG blocks their efforts without plans of fixing it.

Akwa-Ibom can comfortably fix Federal Roads because their population is barely 5million but they receive almost the highest allocation in Nigeria.

Lagos with a population almost 4 times that of Akwa-Ibom is still fixing Ikorodu Road and Badagry Expressway, Abandoned responsibilities of the FG and they still want to add more to it. Face it, FG is a failure.

You think you know the definition of "Common sense" but you truely don't.

My SW brothers, take heart, their plan is to slow down development in the west because they're ACN states and for other regions to catch up but its through pressure diamonds are made.

We will continue to lead them because we know pressure.

i will quote your post with one of my post at the first page. thanks

Mr Aboki:
Because its Lagosians not President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Usman Akpan Udeme Jonathan (GCON, CCAF and Egberipapa 1 of Nigeria) that would die on the road..

ochukoccna:
People like you do not aid the cause of Ebele Jonathan
Those Lagosians are not from Mars you know
Or is he no longer their president too?
You sure must be a ciizen of mumudom as spoken by Lagbaja here https://www.nairaland.com/1386370/lagbaja-responds-okey-ndibe-mumudom

Aint we all..

Demdem: I can still remember the commisioner of works in Lagos claiming that the FG hasn't refunded the money used in re constructing some FG roads in Lagos.
Why should they embark on this again if retardeen haven't paid the ones he owned?

Emmadani: u dey mind al dis south west pple,any smal tin dey wil blame federal govt.Federal govt owes rivers and akwa ibom about 150 billion naira each in federal road construction yet akwa ibom state govt are stil constructing more federal roads and federal govt as also given dem permision to construct sum oda federal roads,d ones i know which are the uyo-oron road dat wil cost about 10 billion naira and six lane uyo-ikotepkene-aba road dat wil cost 50billion naira.Yet u no go hear noise 4rm rivers and akwaibom pple,but if fashola cover 1 porthole person no go hear word...!When i read about lagos owing d highest external debt am always like wtf.Lagos owes about $611,000,000 external debt,no other nigerian state come close to figure only d likes of kaduna at $215m and cross river $113m.Few states are around $100m while d rest are unda $100m...!Wit d high IGR of lagos state n d huge allocation it receives on a montly basis wit dat kind of debt,whr is al dis lagos money going into?Eko oni baje o.SMFH...!And pple wil tel me they want tinubu to rule dis country,so that nigeria's debt wil increase double abi?God4bid.

lastpage: With the kind of "MENTALITY" on display on this thread (and its same on most critical threads), l think NIGERIANS are A CRAZY BUNCH and NIGERIA IS PHUCKED!

*F.G awards Road contracts to its cronies (Anenih, Ogunlewe, Fashawe, e.t.c) knowing fully well that these criminals would not do the road (or just pour red sand on it!) .. knowing that these criminals would just embezzle the money.
--- But what can someone like the President do?.. when he himself is a known thief and treasury looter (even by proxy, at times)

Instead of lashing out at the F.G, the morons that most Nigerians are, "see it through TRIBAL/POLITICAL PARTY LENSE"!

*State Governments whose citizens are suffering and dying on these roads try to do the roads.
-- F.G, fearing that they would lose "popularity" at the expense of the opposition party, will put all sort of obstacles on their path and outright erect sign-boards warning the states to stay away from repairing the roads!

Yet, my Niggas would still blame the states for not repairing the roads!!

One can still recall how OBJ strangled Lagos state for four years, just to bring it to its knees!
WHY: Because state allocation was tied to number of local Govts (which should rightly be tied to population size) ..and Lagos rightly felt that with a population of about 20-million, it deserves more local Govt than some states in the North with a quarter of that population but has more Local Govts than Lagos state!

A sensible OBJ would have said, l will only give you what you earn currently, irrespective of the number of lOcal Govt you "arbitrarily create" by yourself. End of story.
But the idiotic baboon chose to deny the state, its Federal allocation till the Eediot was disgraced out of power while trying to change the constitution ala-Mobutu style, for a third term!

*When Yar Ardua came to power, it was agreed that since the F.G is noted for its looting of funds meant for infrastructure, states which construct roads that belong to the F.G (due t urgent need) should be reimbursed, states like Lagos, which are ruled by thieving Governors like Tinubu, felt it was an opportunity to "extort money" from the F.G!

---Lagos repaired some F.G road but inflated the Bill ... and expectedly, the moaning F.G refused to pay!
Even where the cost was not inflated, the F.G saw it as another opportunity to strangulate the state (opposition-party ruled state!) so as to give them a bad name, make the citizens of the state grumble and be disgruntled so that possibly, they can switch their allegiance to the F.G party (PDP).

*Now, if anyone comes here and tell you that "Tinubu" did not contribute to this problem with his brazen stealing of state funds, that person is simply an "Ostrich".
Any sane President would think twice before doling out any more money to Lagos state, seeing the way the Tinubu has cornered ACN and the allocation of Lagos state, even to the extent of demanding by threat, allocations to Local govts! (I would not even bother to go into details of the roguery and shenanigans of this master-looter!Posterity will write his/their history and it will be damning!)

Having "analysed the genesis of the problem", l will expect that sane people )in government and the masses alike) will look at the problem and proffer a SOLUTION WHICH ADDRESSES AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM!

PROBLEM: Bad roads in lagos (most F.G Roads) and the dying thousands of Nigerians (Yes, not only Lagosians die on those roads, trust me on that) dying daily on such roads.

SOLUTION: FIX THE DAMN ROADS ASAP! Simple and straight forward enough, right?

PROCESS:
1.) [b]Get "QUALIFIED EXPERTS and ACTUARIES to determine the "STANDARD AND COST OF EXECUTING EACH ROAD PROJECT".[/b]
2.) Tie jail terms and possible executions by firing squads, to anyone who sabotages such National infrastructure by embezzling the funds and not doing the projects on time, properly and to order.
Whether Mr. President has the courage to do these or whether those useless Assembly (Sin-nators and Reps) have the ball to hold him accountable is another factor)

3.) By Public tender, give the road to the best Coy available; if need be, give it to foreign Coys leek Julius Berger, Guffanti, e.t.c. I recall that one of the roads (Ile-Ife road was given to the company of the Ooni of Ife; that thieving and disgrace of an Oba did a shoddy work and embezzled the money! Ofcourse, the contract was payment for his infamous "the man is talking sense saga" during the IBB must go and Abiola must die era!
Same Ooni of Ife said Yar Adua was doing 50-push-ups per day when he is already kaput, weeks ago!
Such a "disgrace to the Yorubas and everything Tradition stands for". He is a THIEF!)
I digress.

4.) Realization that no matter the political differences between parties, who rules where or where the road lies, Nigerians must not be allowed to be dying like chicken, on our roads NEEDLESSLY!
Thus, whatever it takes, those roads MUST be repaired and re-constructed.

5.) Finally, we the Stewpid and gullible masses:
How long shall we be at each others throat, defending shyte, defending thieves and treasury looters, just to make a silly point? Dont we realize that we are all in the same "sinking Boat"?
Dont we realize, as Micheal Jackson will put it, "They (Politicians) dont really care about us"?
They only care about how much they can steal, buy Private Jets (to ensure that they never have anything to do with those roads) and go abroad for medical check-up when they fail to build and repair Hospitals in Nigeria!
How stewpid can we be (as seen on this thread), by "taking sides" and defending them with all sorts of stewpid and up-side-down "logic"??

Roads/Transports affects everything and everybody! ...even if you dont drive on it, the food you buy, the provisions you use are transported on that road! What about your extended family members? What about your Gateman and his family? What about your office worker who lives and plies that road?
Maybe Madam (Dame) Patience Mother would still be alive today, if she had told her husband (Mr. President), the "home truth" about the state of that road? ...[b]what goes around will eventually come around.

We are too selfish, so self-centered that we are willing to sacrifice our own lives ...just to spite other people (Tribes, origins of other state, members of other Political parties, e.t.c) or just for some temporary advantage like our able friends Reuben Abatti, Oshiomole (as NLC Presidnt), Segun Adeniyi (Thisday), Fani Kayode (loud & uncouth mouth!), e.t.c[/b]

That is why l think we are a dying specie, a morally decadent specie and we are phucked...except we begin to immediately shine-our-eyes!
It does not stop us from bickering and bitching but we must know where to draw the line... and this l must say, is our greatest failing as a People!.

dos-santos:



ogah i doubt if u have any common sense.

you are blinded to knw dat LASG have hundreds of thousand rd as his responsiblity.
besides all the motorable federal rds in lagoss became motorable no thanks to fashola. agege motor rd, ikorodu rd, western avenue,currently working on badagry/mile2 expess way, ikorodu/mile12 express way, i can go on and on.
He didnt just pave the federal rds, he also ensured there are working streetlights on the entire stretch of the rds. mind you, the streetlights on rds are always on throughout the night.

mumu ppl always beclouded by sentiments. the federal govy shud be embezzeling all d money and only d states govt must be held responsible for FG failures.
i will advise u visit ur psychiatric doctor

dos-santos:



b4 u start saying all sorts of jargons, can u come up with fact to back ur claims about LASG:

we dnt reason like fools in southwest , every Tiers of govt have their diff responsibilities and allocatns accrued to them to cater for it.

is it reasonable to blame;
FG over a state govt failures
state govt over FG failures
LG over SG failures
SG over LG failure

its like a child blaming his fathers younger brother over his unpaid school fees when is father is alive and financially capable.

some ppl need to go back to their psychiatric doctor for a more potent pills

oyedun82: obasanjo during his regime gave segun ogunlewe former minister of works to construct that road but they all embezzled the money! Later wapco decided to construct the road 4rm sagamu to mosimi buh dis xo called politician and d obas never agreed to it and was ready to sue wapco back then which wapco later construct a mini road inside their factory for private car to pass through!.

Government are not ready to construct that road except to fill it with clay soil during rainy season. Ogun state govt is the worst govt have ever seen.

Emmadani: so which governors do not pave roads nd also install street light.When i tel al dis lagos pple to travel out of lagos dey wil not hear.When u travel from abia to akwa ibom state,when u'r leaving abia and entering akwaibom,if care is not taken u wil drive and forget ur name.

dos-santos:



b4 u start saying all sorts of jargons, can u come up with fact to back ur claims about LASG:

asha 80: i do not think the abia end of that aba ikotekpene uyo road is good.i know that akpabio is working on the akwa ibom end but it orji working on the aba abia end?

Emmadani: so which governors do not pave roads nd also install street light.When i tel al dis lagos pple to travel out of lagos dey wil not hear.When u travel from abia to akwa ibom state,when u'r leaving abia and entering akwaibom,if care is not taken u wil drive and forget ur name.

dos-santos:




for your info;
i have been to every region of nigeria(26 out of 36) including abuja, u cant tell me nonsense. the nature of my job made me widely travelled both in and out of nigeria

like i said go for your pills, your keeps deterioring by d minutes

Emmadani: i try vry hard but i dnt stil get wat dis nama is tryin to say.Ekpo.

Emmadani: dat orji of a guy sef i no just undastand am.D man na slow poke.D abia end is notin to write home about.I heard a rumor dat akpabio wanted to cari out d road construction al by him self,but orji no gri.Akwaibom av completed about 70% on its own end while abia state av not even started anytin on its own end.

andyanders: That road I by passed from Shagamu through Ogijo to Ikorudu on my way to Lagos, is what one can tag as the worst road on earth.
The former Minister of Works, then Ogunlewe was so stupid that he failed to do that road when I asked if any government official EVER came from that area. Obasanjo also as I was told failed during his reign to EVER impact on the people within that area.
Worst is the case of their light as PHCN as I was informed do not give light to the area and most of their transformers are not working as most f them were installed in the eighties. I was even informed that they stay without light for more than 8 months.

Amosun and Fashola has even failed to look into the plight of the people with that area because they NEVER see any reason only blaming the Federal government as they refer the road as Federal road. Must the people suffer to stay alive? No good road, no water, no light and when these politicians needs vote, they will find their way to these areas to get their vote and off they go.

There are lots of companies situated along the road from Shagamu to Ikorodu.

Jonathan should look at the plight of these people and reconstruct this road for them as it will help reduce the journey of people travelling to Lagos if they should go though Shagamu-Ikorodu through the NNPC at Fasnmi depot.

Fresh Air is coming to that Road soon... Eko will not Baje because Jonathan is involved..

dos-santos:



shey dis one get sense @all. okay hin sick. aaaaaaaah na 4 house dem don dey do am. eeeeeya ssorry

asha 80: abia residents really need to vote against whoever orji wants to install as their stategovernor in the next election.as for now they have to live with him till next two years.

I-B.:
I appeal to those constructing Mile12-Ikorodu road not to stop at Ikorodu roundabout, it will be great if they can apply the standard of construction to Shagamu-Ikorodu road.
