ekineme: Generally, he did a very poor job there. A part from your suggestion, the road is generally not smooth. If I'm going to Ebonyi, immediately I enter those nonsense he constructed, I slow down from 120- 80 . The roads he did are too rough.. |

LegendHero:What brought about Peter Obi in this thread na. |

VULCAN: But the concrete roads constructed by Umahi are still intact with just the expected tiny cracks that are expected. The ones Obi constructed are either in total disrepair or have since been reconstructed from scratch. |

FatherOfJesus:This is what happens when you give a road contract to someone who has no idea of what it takes to construct even a 10ft slab of concreate. No single expansion grove on the road! |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by AuschwitzPrefec: 11:53am On May 07 |
Believeintruth: Sharp. Concrete roads are better suited for tropical climes than in temperate regions. Just as heating leads to expansion so also are freezing cold temperatures lead to more devastating contraction. It has been argued for years that govt should invest in concrete roads instead of asphalt due to their longevity and easier maintainance. |

Dijita: Too late for such question the project has already started so whatever you just take it like that. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by AuschwitzPrefec: 11:59am On May 07 |
Alex80s: Concrete roads are deliberated constructed with rough surfaces so as to improve the surface friction. |

The cement tech is a good one. But you see these contractors??.. very useless |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by CaptainFM1: 12:01pm On May 07 |
FatherOfJesus: You have some points partially! Comparatively with Asphalt road, concrete is still far better. For that level of damage I see on that concrete road, if it was asphalt, you would be seeing a deep valley if it is subjected to the same level of use. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by Believeintruth: 12:01pm On May 07 |
AuschwitzPrefec: try and be sensible and look before yapping rubbish. Concrete if no done properly leads to expansions that cause cracks also if the subsoil was not factored you will have this scenario |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by AuschwitzPrefec: 12:02pm On May 07 |
erico2k2: You guys are really born liars. I have plied those concrete roads constructed by Dave severally even during the construction phase and yes there were considerations made for expansion. Looking at the pics posted by OP, those tiny cracks are expected and only need bitumen to fill them up. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by AuschwitzPrefec: 12:06pm On May 07 |
Believeintruth: Allowance was made for expansion . I know this because I used to pass through one of the concrete roads constructed by Dave . The most important thing is not these tiny cracks but the concrete sinking on its own weight and so far the road is still standing and has not sunk in any of its sections. Those tiny cracks can be fixed by a three man crew. You guys are now insulting Dave despite him being the only working governor that has built more roads from scratch in the SE . Stop all these rubbish. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by erico2k2(m): 12:06pm On May 07 |
AuschwitzPrefec:crack is crack, what do you mean the got expantion slots, can you see any o the picture? cos I cant |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by AuschwitzPrefec: 12:12pm On May 07 |
erico2k2: That road posted by OP is still pliable and in far better shape than any rubbish Obi constructed that has since washed away You people are really funny A road constructed by Otti was washed away a day after commissioning but you guys are crying over a road with tiny cracks constructed 5-6ys ago . Continue. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by AuschwitzPrefec: 12:15pm On May 07 |
erico2k2: There is no way you won't get cracks as long as you are constructing with concrete that is expected to expand. FYI, all bridges in Nigeria are constructed using concrete with asphalt surfacing. Have they all cracked under the tropical sun? |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by Scarcity234: 12:15pm On May 07 |
We warned them! Umahi is a fraud. Umahi is a fraud! Umahi is a fraud! |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by erico2k2(m): 12:17pm On May 07 |
AuschwitzPrefec:This Dumb, what has Obi got to do with this shyte? concreate road will wash away quicker than earth road if not done properly, I don give a fawk what tribe or region who ever it is that done the road, fact is what is worth doing is worth doing well, simple, billions where allocated to these roads. |

LegendHero:This tell more of your senseless self. Umahi is a fraud! |

LegendHero: How do u compare an Engineer With a person who is not professional |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by erico2k2(m): 12:19pm On May 07 |
AuschwitzPrefec:If you understand simple Engineering you will get the gist that bridges are casted in segments and where these segments meet are the expansion joints. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by AuschwitzPrefec: 12:20pm On May 07 |
erico2k2: Umahi castigating Obi on condemning the coastal highway is what led to this useless thread by a rabid Obidient. You are now attacking Umahi's landmark legacies in Ebonyi state because he castigated your Messiah bitter Obi. See the tiny cracks you are amplifying as failed construction . Truly you Obidients are a special breed of lunatics |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by erico2k2(m): 12:23pm On May 07 |
AuschwitzPrefec:Read my post very well, I have not for once named anyone in my post. The Engineer or contractor who done this is at fault here, however who ever it was that allowed this to stand without calling them back to fix this is down to be blamed. And stop being ignorant about anyone who does no align with your reasoning being obidient or igbo or so and so |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by AuschwitzPrefec: 12:23pm On May 07 |
erico2k2: And the road you are condemning was constructed in segments as well. Do you expect the entire surface to be casted at once throughout the length of the road ? How is that possible ? Cracks are not an issue in concrete roads but rather sinking on its own weight and so far those roads are still intact. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by AuschwitzPrefec: 12:24pm On May 07 |
erico2k2: Go and show us the one Obi constructed that is still intact. Pathetic |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by erico2k2(m): 12:28pm On May 07 |
AuschwitzPrefec:if you can , go fru my profile, I did a 4inch slab on my compound in Nigeria and stamped it,I have done this by myself ie supervising it.I created huge slabs at 20feet interval for expansion. I am a flued Engineer with 15 years experience in the Uk, so when it comes to Expansion, I know my onions.Thishas nothing to do with otti or who ever it is, It has to do with doing what the contract speciffy. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by erico2k2(m): 12:30pm On May 07 |
AuschwitzPrefec:You are pathetic, ignorant as well, who give a flying fhuck what Obi did or did not do?your problem is some is castigating your subject, bravo! but guess what, I aint got a candidate and i don't care as far as the job is done. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by juliuscaesar(m): 12:50pm On May 07 |
The cost of the coastal road, which is estimated at 15 trillion naira, will give the country 24 hrs stable electricity in every part of the nation. Why is giving the citizens not a priority? We need 24 hrs electricity more than we need the coastal highway. 24 hrs electricity will drive the economy and reduce the burden on businesses, especially SMEs. |

Am sure this writer is one of those fronting for the wicked civil servants and construction companies that are not ready to embrace the positive change that Engineer Umahi is proposing... If you like write till Umahi finish his tenure as a minister ,he won't give up on the coaster high way design . |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by ChybuzzDD(m): 12:52pm On May 07 |
triple996: You're an idiotic tribalist. I knew exactly where you were going. You even have to also hate the Umahi that has been supporting your useless APC and Nigeria, while working against his region That shows how much hatred you have for anyone answering an Igbo name, even if he an Umahi, a Hope Uzodimma, or a Joe Igbokwe that is of no use to the Igbos. |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by LegendHero(m): 12:54pm On May 07 |
AMI3: So Umahi is the one building the roads by himself? All the good roads ElRufai built in Kaduns was because he is an engineer? |
Re: Current State Of Concrete Road Umahi Constructed In Nkalagu, Ebonyi. by Kunfu(m): 12:55pm On May 07 |
The gbagada concrete pavement that you're praising is constructed by Hi-tech, so what's your point. |
