some people in Nigeria are so under-educated that their sense of logical reasoning is damaged. How can the re-construction of a road be the reason why you want to vote for GEJ? Construction of roads, provision of electricity and water is supposed to be your fundamental human right, and not a privileged or yardstick to access ones performance. We should consider more critical aspects like; tackling of Corruption and Accountability of revenues and expenditures by these so-called God-sent snake-in-the-monkey-shadow politicians. You'll be surprised if they tell you how much has been pumped into that road in the last 12 yrs! PDP should kiss my black African ASS ![]() |

^^^^^ Very warped form of reasoning!!! So construction of roads is a fundamental human right and tackling of corruption and accountability are not ![]() Can I ask you which of these two are responsible for Fashola's popularity?? Is it construction of roads or tackling corruption ![]() GEJ is doing the right thing by fixing our roads, revamping the rails, getting the power sector right!! There is no vacancy in Aso Rock and only last saturday, the people spoke in one loud voice- They have rejected Buhari's CPC and accepted Jonathan's PDP!! |

Omo_Tier1: Omo_tier, the contract was 300 billion naira, not 30 billion naira. By the way, I agree with you with the patch patch on that road because that road was still a hot mess when I travelled to the east in February. Particularly the part between Akure and Efosu, and knowing and considering the 9ja factor, there is no way there could have been a drastic improvement in a couple of months. So I just wish some of our fellow nairalanders would take a trip on the road before they start giving credit |

PDP is like a leper, Yoruba call it eteee, while Hausa name it kuturu It means dont touch, isolate and outcast. you dont want to associate yourslf with them(all they undestand his their inviduals pockets). They always come with different covert stories during elections periods, sweet talking about 1 nigeria. After elections, they are gone to return in 4years. My pity only goes to all their fans n supporters both on NL n nationwide, cos you are not going to get naaadaa from them. you will only vote for them to slave for them for the next 4 years!!!! ![]() Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! |

PDP is not the party but GEJ is the right man… Hmmmh! I laughed So, what has GEJ done in 10mths to prove that he is the right man? •Stable Fuel Supply @ N65 Nationwide? But do u know that billions of naira went down the drain to do this when we cld have use a qtr of it to repair the refineries? Libya is under fire, Nigeria is the new international bride in crude export. We make N42 daily on these oil exports and it’s not showing in you and I. why? because the same money is channeled to exportation of PMS to achieve the so called stable fuel supply •Security is the worst we have had in 12 years. We now sleep with 1 eye cos of kidnappers and bomb throwers. The quality of a shepherd is to protect its flocks from the dangers of the wolves. Has GEJ done that? NO. So what makes him the rit man? •One of the basic amenities provided to citizens by its govt is electricity. 12 yrs running, no show and we are being told to wait till 2015. Is this electricity generation that hard? If Ghana can do it why is it taking ages in Nigeria? 6000MW was promised in Dec 2010. Not achieved n definitely not in 2015. •Most NL commentators are either out of job, w/o jobs or their present jobs not bringing enough to the table (my apology n no disrespect). But the truth is that when r you going to get the decent job or when is the govt going to support you? 2mrw, 2015, 2020? I don’t know. Millions wrote NNPC test last month for slots meant for 1000 people only, and you say we shld trust these Peedeepee Don’t isolate GEJ out of PDP. Show me ur friends and I will tell who you are. Wolves in sheep clothings. I rest my case; because I’m tired n my spirit is weak. Tired in trying to let my fellow citizens realized that elections are not tea parties but serious biz. They are not abt emotions; they are devoid of religions and tribalism. They are not about who has ruled for many years but who will take us to the promise land As for me and my household, we wont continue to do the same thing that we have been doing for 12years and still expect change in our lives……, |

Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by Nobody: 3:14pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
I'm with FKseun on this matter. As at today, the rating of that road compared to the Benin bye-pass or Benin-Warri road is only about 45%. Sincerely, we dont have the least cause to celebrate. If you dont drive a jeep, SUV or a company's car, a trip on that road cause Nigerian car owners pain, since you are for sure doing damage to your car. This same government a while ago gave out Lagos - Ibadan expressway to an international firm to manage. Specifically, you need to drive from Ibadan to Lagos (the other way round is slightly better) and you'll agree with me that accidents should be happening on that road every hour, if not for God's mercies |

since the era of chief Anenih till date, how long will it take PDP to complete the road? do not just showcase as if it were a new project awarded within the current political dispensation, SAME TO PDP |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by princeonx: 3:59pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
Come-on people are you guys serious? asking someone for pictures of a fixed road? How many miles pictures do you want him to post? A little fix is better than those death traps we call roads in naija even though I know they will be washed out by the first three rain fall due to cheap material. |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by jamesugo: 4:05pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
If fixed, tribute to GEJ. For many years, this road has been a death trap. I can now travel at ease. |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by funken: 4:28pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
Please stop insulting our collective intelligence with this type of post. Resurfacing is different from rebuilding!!! How old is the road?? I am not a student of history but i am sure that road is definitely more than 20 years old (conservative estimate). I was abroad sometime ago and i saw them reconstructing a major highway, which they said had come to the end of its useful life (which was about 30yrs). Believe me this highway made Benin Ore and Lagos Ibadan look like mere bush paths!!! How many times have they fixed this road on paper? Where did the money go to? Yes he has 'fixed' it and made it passable, but considering the importance of this road to the ecomomy and how much that has been budgeted and "SPENT" on it, , pleaaaasssssseeee, i expect more, |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by otokx(m): 5:04pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
Talk is cheap, the roads are still in a bad shape and the rains are yet to start. Benin to Warri is manageable but Warri to Port Harcourt is a different kettle of fish. |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by PapaBrowne(m): 5:08pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
funken: @Funken Yes I also expect more, but I'm no ignoramus, so I expect it to be made passable first so people can stop dying on it, before it would be reconstructed!! If they have to start reconstruction today, it would take at least 4 years even in America to complete, so where do you expect passengers to use in the period of the reconstruction. We have to be realistic please. This road was a death trap for ages. I remember twice travelling through that road. Because there was an immense hold up, vehicles were passing thru a bush road. We joined on the bush road and there was a huge hold up in the bush for over 5km where we stayed for hours! If you ever experienced the horror on that road, then you will commend a man who just got here 10 months ago and suddenly the road is passable. I rode past last week and we did Benin- Lagos in 3hrs cruising at something like 150km per hr with little or no hindrance!! That was impossible 6 months ago!! The fact that you hate Jonathan doesn't take away from the fact that the road has been improved immensely! |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by otokx(m): 5:12pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
You were cruising at 150km/h at the good portions; did you see all the plenty police and custom stops? Did you pass the Warri - Port Harcourt route? D |

PapaBrowne: You are supposed to be arrested for attempting suicide. Your life is too precious for us , you have no right to play with it that way ! |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by Beaf: 5:17pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
PapaBrowne: Thats true, I somersaulted at a place on that road called Oniparaga. Anything done to make that road better is welcomed with open arms. I recall posting about two months ago that the contract to fix the road had been signed and the very same naysayers claimed it would never happen. In fact, the next day, there was a counter thread saying govt announced a contract whereas Julius Berger claimed not to have signed. Two months later, and we know better. Well done GEJ. |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by PapaBrowne(m): 5:18pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
otokx: Benin to Warri is manageable ![]() otokx:We cruised at that speed on the Benin Ore section. There are no checkpoints on the way to Lag, its only when you are returning you see checkpoints. On Warri-Benin you can do 200km per hr if you fit, the only wahala is the number of checkpoints. Warri-PH is not yet smooth but the dualization is on top gear compared to before Jonathan came to power!! |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by PapaBrowne(m): 5:21pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
Beaf: True that!!! The beautiful thing with Jonathan is that when a contract is signed, you can be rest assured that the job would be done!! That's what we can see from all the projects coming to fruition in such a short while!! |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by honeric01(m): 5:22pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
Fixed ![]() Is this the kind of highway Nigeria and Nigerians deserves from PDP after 12 years in office? this patched paths is just few seconds drive, don't let them deceive you. I posted this before, the OP must have passed this part of the road, came here shouting the road has been fixed, infact this was in January 2010 (Yaradua's era), if truly the roads have been fixed, why didn't a person that SUPPORTS PDP AND GEJ like hell stop by to take just ONE picture? JUST ONE PICTURE? he said he couldn't because it was too sudden, that means the part he drove through must have been a patched part and not a re-constructed road/highway. LIAR!!!

^^^^^ ^^^^^ Mr Honeric, I will probably be able to paste pictures for you later 2day!! So just chill. I said I passed the road and it has practically been fixed. Fixing it was not what impressed me. It is the quality of fixing that impressed me. It's amazing that you would be sad that a road that had been a death trap is finally being fixed. Thats a pathetic way to live. Lets forget the fact that its Jonathan that fixed it and lets just celebrate the fact that people would stop dying aimlessly on the road. Lets Celebrate progress, no matter where it comes from!! |

I havent gone tru dat road in a long time but anyone who really went tru dat road shld convince us with pix. @Arosa, u 4got 2 change d background 2 green. Also, roads dont grow, men construct them. it's definitely impossible 2 av a 5lane expressway constructed witout 9jas being aware |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by owobokiri(m): 5:59pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
Lost a friend who visited Nigeria last month on that raod. He was going to PH from Lagos and their bus had an accident at Benin. I heard over 20 people died as a result of that Just like that and he is gone. This is a road that has been under perpetual construction/reconstruction for ages. Sick. |

and Booboo79,you too. I Don"t even understand why you are angry.I am sure you have never traveled on that road before.So you wont understand the joy people are expressing to GEJ where many Government has failed. I am sure you are one of the CPC guys, Power will never go back to the North Again.Saturday is just some few days away.Some of you can take a deep dive into the lagoon , It is not compulsory for us to remain one, Buhari and his followers can go and form their own republic where Milk and Honey will flow. |
Re: Benin Ore Road Has Been Fixed!(Some pictures) by sparkle10(m): 6:26pm On Apr 13, 2011 |
I travelled on Benin- Ore road this past week and I was beyond impressed. The reconstruction of the road is virtually complete (just a few kilometres left) and majority of the bad spots are gone. The whole road is been totally resurfaced and the work is so well done. I was beyond impressed at the work been done there!!@poster, last March, I drove to PH travelling the road after 4yrs. I was apprehensive thinking I would spend Hrs in hold up due to bad road. My brother, I was stunned by what I saw. 70% of the road repaired and work still going on. Ughelli-PH road was a greater surprise. GEJ is really humble and not a propagandist. He does so much and yet very little. Stays focused even in d face of detractors. Since that journey, I knw I had found my president. |
