Honestly, with the way I've gotten used to better living conditions in the US, I often wonder how I'd cope if I were to live in Nigeria again permanently. 3 Likes |

wwwtortoise: Do you know that badagry express way was commissioned and started before Ikorodu express? Yet, Ikorodu express which has about more than 7 bridges was completed within 2yrs if I'm correct.. What I feel is the Pointer While Badagry express is an Ecowas Project but Ikorodu express is a Federal road co-owned by the state, however the state took up the project and was fully financed. Hindrance The same CCECC construction company that'd handle Ikorodu express till completion is also handling the Badagry express road. SO, why complete the former in a short time and yet to successfully complete Badagry road? The Badagry road is facing a serious Financial problem. It lacks proper finance. So, since the government is not releasing adequate funds for the project, the company works with the available funds they received and when it finishes, work stops. Unfair to the Users People that plies Badagry express are subject to surviving and smiling situation since they have no other alternative route. The Government has been so unfair to people that plies this route and not even considering the fact that they will be subjected to paying for the express in the future as there are tollgate points. The Ikorodu express has no tollgate built yet they are quick to fund it because the likes of Tinubu,fashola and akinbode has vast land investment "estate and landed properties". There is not a day or week that passes without a vehicle falling down on that road. A lot of people has recorded major lost due to the bad road. I sympathize the millions of people using the route.

A lot of person are praying for their companies to transfer them outside Lagos. Lagos is noisy as a military personel told me this morning. \politics has spoilt and destroyed the nature of Lagos Badagry Expressway. Why give such a huge project to CCECC alone. that project is meant for arleast 3 construction compsnies. See where Berger handled, no stories till date. from Mazamaza bridge down to theatre and island. very fine. Chinese clowns are busy destroying and jumping to another long range area to avoid the contract being split or given to someone else to the detriment of innocent Lagosians. 3 Likes 1 Share |

AmazingELixir: Calm down my boy and learn from people more knowledgeable than you are. Nowhere in my post did I deny the existence of the deplorable state of the said road. Rather I simply opined that the bottleneck to the speedy construction is simply lack of adequate funds. Learn to understand after reading okay.

The #200bln collected from woldbank by Fashola government as loan is now down the drains. He initially promised that the full length of the road would be handled in four segments by four different companies and completed in just one year. I watched Fashola later during APC campaign @ Iba, shamelessly telling their supporters that the federal government was to be blamed for the current condition of the Lagos- badagry expressway. He maintained that Lagos state government only came for intervention and that the road could not be completed due to additional imputes to the designs. Such as the railways, pedestrian and flyovers, forgetting the promises he made in an interview. My annoyances was the inability of the members of the communities to ask him why other ECOWAS states were able to complete theirs. Non indigenes were denied their voters card if not, APC would have since been forgotten in Lagos. My joy today is that those who voted for APC then are suffering on the same road with us. To tell you the truth, Ambode will win again if he leaves APC because, the party is the only impediment to his performances. 1 Like |

Berankis: You made a good point there, I've been using that road for the past 8 years from Benin Republic to Nigeria, one can't imagine the bad road and rackless drivers using it everyday, I think Lagos have to do more since they are in ruling party.

agarawu23: You've got me here. Your comments is the main reason I stayed back at home for over a week now. The little money I make on ride sharing is spent on car part repairs. My dad ones queried me that I don't support him financially despite my going out to share my ride, he hardly believes that I sometimes don't feed just to ensure my car is mobile until I decided to sit at home, when he calls, its either I'm sleeping or doing other things. His words now " the road are terribly bad". The thought of staying with friends on the mainland for the week is hampered by a fact that I cannot leave my wife at home alone in our very quiet and bushy environment along badagry I now reside. I just pray God touches the heart of whomever is responsible for the road to as matter of urgency do something about the road. Funny enough there are alternative roads the state government can work on, that will bring succour to the masses (from iyana era through okoko and from mile 10 in Volkswagen bus stop through a community called IRA to mowo town to Tedi village and come out at either abule oshun or abule ado or free nija or down to mazamaza before connecting mile 2 bridge. I pray God touches the heart of whomever is responsible for the roads again. 1 Like |

You are stupid!!!! quote author=wwwtortoise post=71127312] ![]() To say that the government of Lagos State is unconcerned with road conditions all around the city is false. I have plied badagry express way a number of times and sincerely, there are lots of construction ongoing. However, I think the major setback is inadequate financing (depending on the contract terms) which is always a halting factor in every work-in-progress. [/quote] |
