It is very natural to be self conservative and it's not natural for one to self criticise but its good to always self criticise because in criticising ourselves we checkmate our success and also know if we are really making progress. So it's good to Criticise a government but if one must criticise a Government it should be Constructive Criticism. I must say that am not writing this post for speculation but because there is an urgent issue that needs attention.
Awka is located in Anambra state(the light of the Nation) and its the Capital of the state.To a great extent its a good Metropolis of Igbo people and there's a Federal Government University located in Awka. I wouldn't say that it's a very beautiful City, its a developing Town.The pictures shown below were take from Ifite road ( one of the minor Roads that lead to the Nnamdi Azikiwe University ) and as you can see the road has deteriorated for years now and Contracts have been Awarded to so many Contractors but still yet the Road is still in bad shape for years and the Local Government is doing barely nothing to Fix the Road. About two weeks ago when I saw a tractor working on the road I felt happy but on a second glance at the Road its easy for one to tell that there's no positive work on going(the tractor was sand filling the Drainages). In a bid of Operation ' light up the state ' all the Drainages on the Road are being sandfilled so that they can easily install the Street lights ( or I don't know the reason for the sandfill ).Now because of the Blocked Drainages ' used water ' which are meant for the Drainages now floods the Road that's why even in this dry season the Road is still flooded . This really pose a great threat to Motorists and Students as it has lead to Minor Accidents.
It's a good thing for a Government to provide Street Lights for its citizens but in doing so people's life should not be endangered. The Ifite Road is too small to be called a Standard ' one lane ' and inasmuch as motorists are struggling to keep in the lane I think there shouldn't be any Obstructions like Refuse Bins and bad pot holes on the Road. Am not writing to Condemn the present Government but to point to them a problem in the State.

That is Ifite-Awka axis leading to Unizik back gate. Around Madonna hostel to Miracle junction is very bad and needs attention. That's the truth.

I don't think this thread was created to denigrate anambra state

The intent might be to call the attention of the authorities to certain areas of the state.

I don't think it's one of those Peter obi vs Obiano thread or anambra vs abia thread.

But please change the topic ,some might feel offended with the topic and you won't be able to pass across your information

Good job OP.
They sandfill the drainages to create more destruction to an already damaged infrastructure and thereby have the legitimacy to budget more money for another contract work that will end in the ways of those before it.

These are some of the building blocks that when put in place will encourage return home. These are topics yanmiris should spend energy on and highlight to showcase to their Elders for intervention, instead of loosing sleep over what Ambode is not doing for Lagos.

My guy if you know the op is being truthful then there's nothing to retaliate about other than to ask your Governor to work on the said road,


Judging from the write up/pictures and the link therein, one could be convinced to believe that op is not pointing at the wrong direction.


what we all need is development and not siding one politician or the other.

The Op is mischievous. Let him go and post more bushes and call it Awka or Anambra. We do not need to respond to lies veiled with jokes. Even the side of the flyover he posted was when the project was still under construction. Let him go on with his jokes.

Indeed, Yorubas were never united..

"By the time the Europeans came, even the Yoruba people, did not even learn how to live with each other, they were fighting and all over the north, they were fighting everywhere, there were tribal wars."
I just remember only recently the Yoruba leaders said they want to break, break from where. The Yoruba are probably the people who economically enjoy Nigeria more than anybody, economically. So why are they going?"
