Today,Monday 9th September,2011,I took a trip down memory lane in company of my elder brother from another mother;Mr.Clement Siakpere.
This trip was nostalgic for me because it was a trip back to my BEGINNING as an independent and fully qualified BACHELOR.
Having lived with Siakpere and his family after graduating from school at the P.T.I.,I had eventually saved enough to get a place of my own and that was how I ended up in a one bedroom apartment in the remote end of a then developing NEW LAYOUT/UDOGUN AVENUE,off Jakpa road in EKPAN.
At that time(2001),life in New Layout was hell for inhabitants as there wasn't a single tarred road and the entire layout was powered by just one 33/11KVA Transformer.
Government presence was NON-EXISTENT in terms of infrastructure.When it rained,we swam through the roads and during the dry season,the sand made our "Okada-ride" a hellish experience.
I lived on the end of a street(25 PETER OKEME) that was the end of another street and I know how many people visited once and never repeated(not that I blame them).
Life in New Layout was only "new" in name for everything pointed to the stone age of underdevelopment albeit infra-structurally!!!
You can therefore imagine my consternation and utter shock when Bros told me I needed to see what UDUAGHAN had done in New Layout.
I am sure the pictures attached will
tell the rest of the story,especially to those who know what it used to be to live in New-Layout in the late 90s until as recent as 2008.
I commend the COURAGE of Comrade Engr. Igbini Odafe Emmanuel and his team at the DIRECT LABOUR AGENCY for the actualisation of this uncommon TRANSFORMATION.
Indeed WE WILL FINISH STRONG.
DELTA,THIS OUR DELTA,MUST BETTER!!!

When the righteous are in power, the people rejoice. Uduaghan transformation agenda is working. God bless the architect of modern Delta State

Theodore Orji is indeed a performer. These Nigerian Governors are wicked to the common man.

May God forgive your hypocrisy.

So you expect us to be celebrating for a construction of 1km road? By the way that is why he was elected and it was not done through his personal fund..Scratches my balls, smells my hand and spits on thread before walking out on thread.

It is well!!!

Lol

This is surely another way of putting smile on the faces of Deltans. Na jeje jeje we dey goooooooooo! Safe arrival is sure as Udughan leads the way.

What Orji and this thread have in common is that Orji's lapdogs post these sort of appalling pictures as "legacy projects" and "transformation".

This governor dey try sha

nomsov147: This governor dey try sha

Try how?

The man is sitting on N472bn 2013 budget, the 4th largest state budget in Nigeria and the population is only 2.5 million.

smh....

Oh! Jesus christ!!!

And this dunce of an OP posted this pix as an achievement?

I am die!!

It's an uncommon transformation, and the governor should be commended for this.

Damn, look at poverty!

P.S: Are side-walks against the law in Nigeria?

I blame the Northerners for stealing our Oyel and using the money to build Lagos and Abuja....

^^^Well i can't argue with the 'uncommon' part of your post.......it's not easy to see poorly built roads in a relatively rich state!

Where is the transformation? I no fit laugh eee

Akamu and Stew: I blame the Northerners for stealing our Oyel and using the money to build Lagos and Abuja....

agbameta:

Having oil and collecting huge sums off oil proceeds amounts to little or nothing if you don't have skilled, dedicated and credible folks with good sense of duty and purpose.

^^^^^^

What I said yesterday..

Wow! I'm usually not easily impressed but, just wow!

You usually don't come across roads built to such high standards very often, not even in developed countries.

Look at the sidewalks, look at the lanes, look at the street lights, look at the street signs, look at the way they removed all the sand from the road, ensuring it is in mint condition.

Bravissimo Governor for a job well done, some people try to build to international standards, but you have shown here that you aspire to build to intergalactic standards.

Don't mind these clowns... The poster of this thread is a disgrace, and it is people like him that encourage medicocrity and substandard cra*p in the provision of public services.

Any governor who builds a road without this basic infrastructure should be chased out of office:

Lemme just assume this as sarcasm

I came here to see abuse on uduaghan, am not disappointed.

Others are transforming a state and we are transforming a layout.

Poster, look through all the projects built by ibori, you will not see anyone that bears commissioned by ibori. Those who perform do not need to highlight it, the people have eyes and they see

Where did you get your population figure?

Wats is happening in delta state is not corruption but satanic. Dis rd u guys are talking abt was constructed by NDDC and not by d governor. D only tin dis antichrist of a governor did is d interstate bus(uduaghan bus). Warri is being managed by d people not d govt if not it Wud hv decayed more Dan d level it has. Ibori was an angel compared 2 his antichrist cuzin uduaghan. And d only mistake Ibori made was 2 make him d governor.
