Can't nigerians build their roads without the input and assisstance of foreigners? In a country of millions, we depend on foreigners to build roads, find, drill, sell and refine oil, we depend on foreigners to manage our national football team.
This country sucks big time.

Your point on foreigners building our infrastructures has always worried me.
If it is not foreign it’s not good enough in Africa.
If it’s not foreign in Nigeria it’s never respected.
There is still no major project that is led by an African design or Construction company, it must be foreign. The foreign multinational companies even laugh at us. What is the point of teaching these courses in our Universities.

I agree with you on the type of Education curriculum instilled by the colonial masters. I believe the main reason Nigeria and most African nation are lagging behind in infrastructural development and why our airports looks like a local bus station of Poland, poor Utilities, middle age books in libraries, technology, 35% connected to National grid and bad roads is a mixture of corruption, lack of vision and mediocrity. You can agree with me that being smart is not the problem of a Nigerian. Take a Nigerian student to go and study abroad, He/she will come on top of the class. Our medical students can recite the whole human digestive system off heart. Some problems are listed below:

University Funding – No Nigeria University has a major endowment fund used for research. Every single year, our centre of learning still close down , it is not uncommon to see 2000 students cramped up in a lecture theatre been taught with a very small blackboard.
Poor Technology and laboratory – Which Nigeria University can boast of a Civil Engineering laboratory that can be used to perform a simple buckling test on a column.

Corruption - I’m not talking about state and federal level, even if the funds managed to get through the state, the Dean or VC will still steal His own share.

Zero Faith in Nigeria by Nigerians due to years of disappointment, I can testify that 90% of all the brilliant students I know have left the country on graduation and are doing very well as Doctors, Engineers etc. in overseas.

I can’t believe we still bring Lebanese, Egyptians to build our roads, these people will not even be contracted to build toilets in the UK.

mikelbewise:


Well, foreigners do the same for America and other Asian countries .

No I don't agree the company I work for and many I’ve seen never penetrate the construction industry of American, I asked why?
The Answer: America does not like/allow foreign companies to build their roads and bridges.

Go and check the major California rail projects currently going on, they are mostly designed by Bechtel, Jacobs etc.

Of course you can use foreign expertise to enhance what you have, it is not uncommon to see a foreign company building a structure in the UK, but when you go foreign all the time and have no home alternative, then your Engineers will be mediocre, there will be capital flight and also your national security is in jeopardy as they know where to attack during war.

With all amaechi's gragra,he still did not win. GOD pass man. Wike carry on with the good works.

nnachukz:
What Amaechi could not achieve in his two tenures, Wike has done in less than a year.

Is it that man who behaves like a woman ?

You didn't add Ubima Bypass and Port-harcourt-Omerelu-Owerri highway

Hahahaha. Chucks e be like say u be yeye man. U self knows that no way that could have happen.
Com mon wike hasnt even begin anything. He hasnt done 0.5% of what amaechi did.

Honestly I don't like the style of govt of most PDP goovernors and the party itself I am not APC member either, not even a politician but I love this Wike style of government unlike the noise making Foyose govt. Honestly this Wike is performing, sentiments apart.

hinwazaka:
Construction of dualised road is not a new thing. Mr Govenor, complete the Monorail, and I will know if Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ are working or not

God Forbid!!!

Nyesom Wike is a fraud and nothing but a photo-op Governor. This is a man as Minister of Education did nothing and cant point to any achievement in the education sector besides embezzling money.
He achieved absolutely nothing as Minister of Education and this is the man people expect to perform as Governor of River State. I can predict his performance use of substandard materials for projects,inflated contracts,massive corruption and more debt for Rivers.
Before you get a promotion you have to achievements to show,what can Wike point out what he achieved as Minister of Education,here lies the problem of Nigeria,rewarding failures and thieves to be leaders of the States with the biggest budgets in the county and 4-8 years from now Rivers State residents will be wondering were they went wrong. Africans were never meant for self rule

Chai!!!
This one still neva recover from the back 2 back defeat of him party ooo.
Anyway sha. Wail Till Jesus com.
Wike till 2019. Based on performance, Rivers ppl will decide weda we want wike or som1 else. until den, Wail easy bro. 3 mor years is a long time.
Chai!!!
Sucks 2 b u sha

You are liar, but in some way you are right!
Amechi never build a single, single lane road! All amaechis road were dual carriage roads.

Even the dual carriage you are seeing in the wike's picture was started by Amaechi. Wike have never initiated a single dual carriage road by himself. All wike's initiated roads, woji road, Oroigwe road etc are all narrow single lane roads (like the face me I slap you house corridor).

Happiness87:
if I give you the contract will you use substandard material or not.

Do you have the best machinery to work, even the ones you have was it not imported??

You sound very senseless. You saying you can tell who will use substandard materials by their skin colour? Do you know that whites also cheat? Many bad roads we have were built by foreign companies cutting corners. I am sure it was trusty, ignorant dullards like you who gave them contracts based on nothing but their skin colour. Shameless thing defending her self-hate.

The Governor General. Working without dependant on Nigeria budget. Please teach them how to do it your own way. God bless Rivers State.
