Delta State: A State With Poor Maintenance Culture and
Lacking Continuity in the Business of Governance
Day 10 - Sunday 22nd August 2015: This was an outing
day to catch up with my childhood friends in Warri. Our
travel route plan was: Ughelli to PTI Junction, via PTI Road through Jakpa Road to NNPC Housing Estate Road to Deco Road linking Warri-Sapele Road to PTI Road enroute Ughelli. To link Jakpa Road from PTI Road the travel time was in excess of 20 minutes because of the failed portion of the dual carriageway by Uvwie market.

There were intermittent pothole sections on the entire route, and the most disheartening section was the Warri-Sapele Road, where you find the ill-planned and ill-conceived BRT scheme. How can a government see such gradual rundown of major roads in a city and seem to turn a blind eye. What are the functions of Direct Labour Agency (DLA)? Is there continuity in government policies, programmes and projects in Delta State?

Governance is about the citizens and making their lives and the environment they live in worthwhile, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The government should as a matter of utmost urgency initiate and declare a state of emergency on potholes on Delta roads. We cannot sit by and watch the infrastructure put in place with huge sums of money waste as a result of poor maintenance culture. The pictures below are just eyesores, period.

clearly the delta state govt is under performing vis a vis the funds it has

The local govt is also under-performing

But the major problem is not the govt of this area but the people and the way they think

Until you change your way of thinking and support Biafra

Funny how people live in a pit latrine of the zoo called Nigeria and still drive 10million naira cars inside it

Or how a man like Emami Ayiri is role model for people who come from this area

Nigerians are baboons and monkeys who do not know that the world of today is more collaborative

Build and develope your enviroment and stop mindless worship of money

Why don't your roads/streets ever have side walks instead of the people having to walk next to cars like wild animals on a reserve?

Nigeria is just one huge, freaking slum.

I tire o. I hope Gov Okowa perform better than his predecessor.

I will support PMB and be a loyal fan if n wen only Uduaghan is brought to answer for his looting. Uduaghan looted delta dat even ameachi n igbinedion shouted "God forbid".

He destroyed d roads, n built a non-functional pedestrian bridge wit almost 50million at ugbuwangue.

If PMB n apc wants support from d niger deltans, Ameachi, Igbinedion, Uduaghan n Peter Odili shud be prosecuted, jailed n dia loot recovered.

It's a painful thing to admit but since Ibori left power, Delta state has never had a leader. In Warri, new roads have not been built and all the old roads built by Ibori's regime have been left to decay. I wept the last time I was in Warri (last year) and I promised myself never to go back there if possible; the entire city was an eyesore.

From what I see in these pics, things are even worse... Tufia!

Front page plsssss
