This is Nekede/Ihiagwa, down to Obinze road, in Owerri west Local government area of Imo state. For over a decade now, this road has never been attended to in a way that suggest the government really want to fix it.

Nekede/Ihiagwa road is one of the busiest roads in Imo state, leading to A federal university of technology, a federal polytechnic, a monastery, a police training school, an industrial/business cluster, one of the biggest market in Owerri, one of the best seminary Bethel and a whole lot of other public and private establishments, yet the government hasn't deemed it fit to fix this road for good.

This road is the only express way to most villages in the local government area. While coming from the Owerri capital city through this road, you'll first meet Umudibia Nekede, then Umuoma Nekede, Ihiagwa, Eziobodo, Okolochi, Emeabiam, Umuokpor, Umunoha and Obinze... The indigenes of these villages are in tears, agony and filled with sadness because of the bad state of this road. The road has gotten too bad to an extent that the muddy water and sand now flows into people's living houses and compounds. This road has gotten so bad that, passerby's do not even see a space to put their legs while using the road.

We're not talking about vehicles and motorcycles... Those ones find it difficult to use this road because of the ugly state and concurrent damage it causes to their vehicles. Now the few commercial motorist that had to summon courage to use this roads charge exorbitantly to render transportation services to people within this area.

Before now, transportation fare from Umudibia to Owerri used to be #50 (fifty naira only) as time elapsed and the road started getting worse, it rose to #100 (hundred naira only). But as i type, the motorist here charge as much as #300 (three hundred naira) and a few others #400 (four hundred naira) from Umudibia Nekede to Owerri capital city.. A 15 minutes drive journey. Do we blame the motorist, definitely NO, we should blame the government for this difficult situation our people are facing.

When Hon Emeka Ihedioha was declared winner of the 2019 guber election in Imo state, he promised to fix this road. A few months later, work began, drainages were constructed and red mud were applied. The people of Nekede and other neighboring communities rejoiced and supported the contractors. Most of us had to volunteer to work for them free of charge just to ensure the road was fixed. I personally had to wake up every morning, stand in front of Assemblies junction to control traffic for the contractors, free of charge, all was aimed at ensuring nothing stops them from fixing this road... But our hopes was cut short when the former governor was dismissed.

The announcement of governor Hope Uzodimma gave us fresh hopes, after all, he would have mercy on us and continue to fix this road, but things maybe didn't work out as we hoped and now we're in severe pain over this road.

We're suffering, our people are having a tough time because of this road, shops and stores situated along this road doesn't make sales anymore because people do not ply the road to buy goods from the stores. Everyone is crying, the poor persons can't afford #300 to and #300 fro for just transportation to Owerri capital city.

We government's urgent intervention on this road, for crying out loud, this is a busy road. I wonder what these whole situation would look like when school finally resume and students flood everywhere again.

The good people of Nekede and other neighboring communities call on His Excellency, Governor Hope Uzodimma, to please use his good office to attend to our needs, please sir come and help the lives of these poor masses. Fix this road and make this situation easier for us. We'll forever be grateful if you do.

SHARE TILL IT GETS TO THE GOVERNOR, HE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS PLEA......

PLEASE SHARE, MAKE IT GO VIRAL � � �

defending your governor??

This is bad mehn!........Okorocha no try for that state at all........Uzodinma pls sit up oh.

iuiu

The Paris of Africa.... we have free swimming pools on every street


No wonder Lagos is so congested. Who would want to live here ? Even a pig would be suicidal here.

Let's blame TINUBU for this

So sad, and we have monetary budget for that projectc

Na waa a

This is a road that connects two federal institutions:

Federal Poly Nekede and Federal University of Technology Owerri...

What a pity

Really ?
I thought views like these are exclusive to Ibadan or anywhere in the SW as everywhere in the SE is a paradise.
Odiegwu

I think the road is currently being worked on.
Govt take forever just to fix anything at all, even the slightest takes a very long time let alone roads....
Kudos for bringing it to public notice...

nothing new....thats normal story in nigeria..
please i would like to ask this question that have been disturbing me...
in nigeria as a whole, which do we have more between bad roads and bad leaders

Ok

In this day and age, we still have roads like this?! How embarrassing!

Who would have thought that in 2020 our government will still have issues fixing our roads! Why then do we pay taxes?

Mehnnnn, see my hood. Owerri ndi ngwori, it shall never be well with anybody doing this to my ngwori area

Naija no dey carry last at all...

Somebody will soon faint, because I can't count how many times my buddies in that area have sent me pictures of projects going on there.

If you're looking for a way you can add extra money to your bank account click my signature to join a free masterclass where I'll be sharing something very beneficial. This isn't referral or pyramid scheme. It's a remote job.

Some people will see this and start yabbing one tribe or the other..... Forgetting that bad leadership is everywhere, and it's what has gotten us into this situation.

Has anyone tried going to Ijesha in surulere and witnessed how bad that road is. That road was last done during Fashola's first term and it has not been maintained ever since.... It is an eyesore... Now if I'm going there, I'll rather drive through Kilo which is also bad, but not as bad as the Ijesha own.

Following the inner streets at lawanson to get to Ijesha is equally worse, you'll just keep dancing inside the car till you reach your destination. It's even worse when it rains.

What about Akobi crescent road that leads to Owokoniran? I can go on and on....

The truth is that bad leadership has brought us to this point. Our so called leaders are just there to share money, while they hope you all continue to stay divided so you won't come for their heads.

since 2012 I left nekede .na wa o

fruits of the god of mbaka,
since mbaka said that his god told him that gave imo people
uzodimma as a blessing to imo and this is what we see so far, I think whatever uzodimma achieved in imo state will be the fruit of that mbaka's god, for me I STILL think that it can still turn out good for all of us including the governor himself

come enugu

It would never be well with APC n rochas

This road was good as of 2010

This country has never been in better need of a revolution.

nawa oo
Lord ave mercy

meanwhile I'll design a brand logo and flyers for your business for 2k

A major road in this state

this is bad I feel the pain of those people
like you'll have to wear shorts to cross road or use a canoe

Chai see my former school road oo, Nekedwire!!

Useless state
Useless governor

���� supreme court governor

The earlier we wake up and start holding our our governors accountable for our annual Allocations the better for all of us.

They prefer blaming the north while their leaders keep siphoning their allocations.
