jarkbauer:

this is not Nigeria Jor

Uchiha Madara: I am having mixed feelings about this thread. On one hand, I have seen some nice pics of good roads, but on the other hand, we are still talking about roads.

This definitely means that in the next election, which would be 2015, some politicians out there will still be using roads to campaign. Now I do understand that roads are a very important part of government, but at this stage of our development, we should be more concerned about complex road solutions i.e new bridges to reduce traffic after massive road usage data interpretation and so on.

Word bank statistics have new road construction at $800,000/mile-lane, and road rehabilitation at a much lower cost. At this rate, with allocations given to states, a 4 year space would be enough to completely pave about 70% of roads in all states (not new road construction). Take Ameachi's Jet for instance at a rumored price of $45,000,000. That's enough for about 45mile-lanes of new road, so that's like 22miles of a two lane road newly built. Now if we are talking rehabilitating roads, then you can multiply that number by about 5 on average. so that would be about 110 miles of two lane roads completely rehabilitated.

Nigeria is changing, but at what pace? We are moving like an old man trying to find his way back around the gym, when our counterparts have already done about 3 sets of warm ups, and already have peps in their steps.

I don't want to grow old and still have to listen to a politician campaign about roads, and not in a good sense as I explained earlier, but about repairing a road that has been abandoned for so long.

Gradual Transformation Of Nigerian Infrastructure; Focus On Roads

agbameta:



Don't mess up the thread with stolen internet pics...

agbameta:

biafranqueen: Hey those are stolen too

luvinhubby:
o baje ti
But why is Lagos road the only one with toll gates and collecting money from motorists in all the pictures?

ROSSIKE: Abuja

agbameta:



To start with, it's either you are blind or full of something else because many roads in the pics I posted are not toll roads.



Many villagers have been begging for the same bridge for 30 years and toll or no toll, they still don't have any bridge.

The most sophisticated bridge in Nigeria and the best infrastructure in this thread is the same picture you quoted so We not only like our toll roads, we welcome and appreciate them.

meccuno: why are u filled with so much hate?

ROSSIKE:
Benin City
