mikeansy: you dey mind them? if they are truly patriotic as they claim, would they celebrate such news on yahoo! ? why cant they trend the other 70 percent of federal roads that are in top shape? #myroadisbetterthanyours by the time lagos ibadan is completed, I will wait to hear this class of Nigerians will say. this so called road is under apc supervision in lagos. where did yahoo get this pictures from? you and i. from our facebook and twitter handles. yahoo will never tell a place in the us or uk have no power and they run on generators. continue to project your country how you want the whole world to see you, then complain when you go out there and they abuse you and extra check you before they let you in. kontinu |

Nigerian roads are bad, both at the state and federal levels, but, the greater shame should go to the FG, I am sure the total distance of roads at the Federal level is far less than that of intra city roads of 2 or 3 states combined, the FG gets the bulk of revenue in the country 56% compared to 44% for all other organs, there is no single justifiable reason for the FG not to over perform, those who are comparing a state to the FG are diminishing their arguments, FG has far less responsibility and more revenue than the states and its infrastructure should be top class. |

Hmmm, I thought the Chinese, Indians and others are smarter than the black man, i wonder why none of these smarty pants thought of shaming their Nation into doing better by plastering all their ills online for the entire world to pass judgment on them. The Chinese are the stupidest they hide everything. 1 Like |

atlwireles: ^^^^ The info I have requested for is critical to holding government accountable. I have stated this several times on this thread. But the FG and those who defend it have refused to make the info available to all Nigerians in a clear and unambiguous format. Is this for sinister reasons? Is it because most Nigerian roads that are in a poor or bad state are federal roads? Is that the reason? |

VolvoS60: The highest percentage of bad roads in Nigeria are the so called Trunk C roads that fall under the purview of the local government area councils. The reason is that they are mostly made up of closes, streets and cresents that don't really carry much vehicular movements. Also budgetary constraints makes the local government not to meetup the demand of fixing them. |
Re: Nigeria Road Shame Makes Yahoo Homepage. by atlwireles: 7:55pm On Nov 07, 2014 |
VolvoS60: I can boldly tell you the federal roads in my state, benin-warri, warri-asaba, npa expressway, east-west road. Are the best roads in my area of the state. We don't have that many federal roads, most of our village and small town roads are state and local wahala. NNDC helping many local governments improve their roads, does not make them federal. This is my personal experience. |
Re: Nigeria Road Shame Makes Yahoo Homepage. by VolvoS60(m): 8:29pm On Nov 07, 2014 |
atlwireles: ^^^ My other question still stands: is the federal government owing states any money for road maintenance and construction? Robbing Peter to Pay Paul? |
Re: Nigeria Road Shame Makes Yahoo Homepage. by VolvoS60(m): 8:40pm On Nov 07, 2014 |
pendy79: ^^^ Not sure what you mean up here. Trunk C roads are bad because they are made up mostly of closes, street and crescents? Or trunk C roads are bad because they fall under the purview of LGs? Your last comment about budgetary constraints is a classic example of the aberrant character of Nigeria's political system. LGs are responsible for trunk C roads but LG chairmen cannot be held accountable because state governors have decided to take over the allocation due to LGs. Interestingly, this daylight robbery cuts across party lines. How can this country develop where state governors have completely emasculated LGs? How? |

VolvoS60: You seem very earnest, and it's likely that your support or participation in the campaign is with the best of intentions, but from my perspective the campaign is naive . And, as for not responding to your other post , with all due respect, i rarely do so. This is not meant disrespectfully. Finlay, you're wrong, i am passionately pro Nigeria Nigerian although not at all Afrocentric. 1 Like |

Litmus: ^^^ Of course I am earnest. I cannot afford not to be. We have long passed the stage of worrying about naivete or what outsiders will think about us. I spent a lot of valuable time a few days ago on another thread tackling a fellow called patriot4 who had a similar argument to yours. He, like you, was more concerned about image and perception. There seems to be a preoccupation with image among those who do not support holding leadership accountable. Holding leadership accountable is one the key responsibilities of citizenship. It is a sacred duty. Without it we are lost. If I may ask, how can you be passionately pro-Nigerian and yet apolitical? |

hercules07:It's a shame, and very reprehensible, that the Federal Government "makes" and controls so much money yet it does absolutely jack shiyyyt to deserve it. And to add insult to injury the Federal Govt does nothing for the people, not even those from whose lands the resources that keeps the country afloat flows from. They turned their people to destitutes and a few just split the money among themselves. If you've even been to certain parts of the Niger-Delta,youll cry for Nigeria. It's a very heart wrenching situation. |
Re: Nigeria Road Shame Makes Yahoo Homepage. by ayindejimmy(m): 7:01am On Nov 09, 2014 |
In this aspect, PDP and APC have failed collectively. The Federal roads are not good and States roads also leaves a sour taste. ....most politicians are corrupt. Forget their party affiliates |
