On the 12 of august, a nairalander by the nick, Abdulizom shared sordid pictures of the horrible state of both sides of the Adeje axis of the Benin/Warri express way, how travelling through the road had become a nightmare due to the deep gullies which cut both sides of both lanes.
Initially, it was one lane that was damaged. That was over 5 months ago. Consequently. Motorists diverted to a single lane. But with time, the second lane caved in, making the road impassable particularly once it rained.
Relief came somehow as motorists diverted to the Old Adeje road, before joining the main express road at Otomewo or via Opuraja road at either sides. But at this very moment, the old Adeje road leading to Otomewo has also been damaged. Vehicles are literally now crawling on the roads. A journey of Warrior to Sapele that usually takes 30 minutes now takes 4 or more hours. As expected, transport fares have equally doubled or tripled in some cases.
To crown it all, the ember months are here. A time when high volume of traffic often find its way to the oil city of Warri.
How long will a people continue to groan and moan like a people without a leader? What did we I'm Niger delta do you Nigerians that you all are treating us like thrash? How can the federal government not spend a naiara I'm maintaining our roads, we who produce 95% of the nation wealth, yet it is throwing trillions fighting insurgency in the desert?
Only God will judge u all.

Wetin consign me?

Going through Amukpe -Eku- Ovurie -Osubi road isn't upto 2 hours not to talk of 3 or 4 hours. But I understand where you are coming from. I ply that road daily (Warri to Oghara) and the fair can go as high as #1000 when the drivers want to misbehave.
