The bad state of Enugu-Onitsha Express Road...(photos)
Photos show the extent of deterioration
of the Enugu-Onitsha express road. The part of the road in the pics
is around Umunya, Oyi L.G.A of Anambra State. And they have a govt here? Wow! More pics after the cut...
THIS IS FEDERAL ROAD IN THE EAST, TYPICAL OF ALL FEDERAL ROADS. OUR OFFENCE IS THAT WE SAID NO TO POGROM. NO VICTOR NO VANQUISHED WAS A RUSE. WE ARE STILL BEING VANQUISHED BY THE VICTORIOUS HATERS OF NDIGBO.
But hausa has not bn president in dis democracy (d past 16 yrs) until buhari 3months ago. Yaradua was president for only 1and a half years.
You considered d last president ur brother: why didnt u mention anythin abt pogrom being d reason for ur bad roads then? This is d reason why NO ONE takes u seriously. Ur arguments are dishonest.
Shut up onye Ara it has been like that since ur dummy gej's regime anu ofia u r dying for one stupid drunker from ijaw okay what did he do for igbo's n south south not even 1 good rd
This road is the main reason I believe GEJ loves the Igbos, after 6years of his government, after so many promises, a road that was constructed by an Hausa man, the Jonathan that loves the Igbos so much left it in this condition. Yep he appointed many Igbos into his cabinet and that helped rehabilitate this road and many federal roads in the southeast. You're a huge disappointment GEJ.
That Road is a federal Road. What I do not understand is why Peter Obi despite his closeness to Jonathan, failed to use his closeness to ensure that that particular road is given an utmost priority. All he did was to hop into a plane with jonathan when other regions were pressuring the federal government for their own dividends of democracy. If Jonathan did not build that road, I honestly do not expect Buhari to make it a priority when the region unanimously voted against him. Igbos should get Peter Obi to build that road with his money.
But the road is halfway completed. They should just try and finish it abeg. Imagine if this red sand catch person for dry season eh. All clothes will turn to red. This sand is what scares the shit outta me traveling to the east.
This particular road is in a very bad shape. I ve used thid road on several occasions and it wasn't funny. Something urgent needs to be done to this road. In btw, our amiable governor Willie Obiano is really doing a good job
Pls ask them. The ONLY reason was tribal & religious. Nothing else. If d APC candidate had bn igbo they wld have called tinubu d best politician in Nigeria & abandoned jonathan. Predictable pple.
Linda before u talk trash, please note that the road is a federal road which ur hero GEJ the clueless one failed to work on even after all the support from Anambrarians and the south east as a whole.
My dear help me ask o, dis is wat I pass thrgh every day going t wrk t awka frm Onitsha, I lost my pregnancy last year after humping frm one pot hole to the other in dat same Umunya bad road, I pray such affliction never happen to anyone again. Its quite a very big problem t us, d so called senators dat shld be fighting for our rites are in Abuja fooling demselves. God will send a helper t us o.
There are two roads that leads to enugu from onitsha, old and new road, so u can choose whichever one you want, I even went through the other road today, it's not as bad as this, the government can never be perfect, so take a seat picture sender
If younlookat the photo ts closely you would see that the road is leveled and clearly being dualised. Obviously there is some work going on. There's just no tar on the road yet. I don't see potholes, just red sand. Some objectivity won't hurt
The reason why Sullivan is a savior to we pple of Enugu, he created an alternative means since our so called govt care less about the Igbos and do little or nothing on our roads... This is just little compared to other federal govt roads in the east.
This road claimed the family that left three kids behind, while mother, son and dad gone, govt pls repair the road and keep our parents alive, not allow them die and give us scholarship
Jonathan's Failure... some of my foolish Igbotic Bros nd sis still tryna vote him in again.. where D hell Is D second Naija Bridge..Ndi iberebe.. Wat did we gain frm his tenure... sai Buhari..
If Buhari Wnts to put hausas in every vacant post very well in as much as dere will B change.. nd for Dos lowlife shouting Biafra... u ain't going no where, we will kip managing ourself till eternity...
thats exactly wat it is!!!! If u r coming from Onitsha,,, from a point after Tansian University up to Awkwuzu Junction and further down!! Really terrible...!
The state of road in the eastern part of the country is a thing of concern. Our senators and reps seat and embezzle public funds rather than represent their various constituency.
God bless you Linda for this post! I went to visit my sister @ANSU and I saw this road and I remember it's thesame road chiuna Achebe had the accident that cost him his legs. It's so sad! It's a federal road. So I think the federal government should do something pls.
It all started from ODUMODU Junction Umunya tru AWKUZU junction. ... i hate driving past dat route anymore and it beats my imagination how deteriorated that road has gone over the years.....
Waitooo....did i rem telling u that it is a FEDERAL ROAD...?
the roads in Anambra have been largely worked on since Ngige down to Obiano.... Enugu Onitsch means its a Federal Governmenmt Road and as a result the State government isnt allowed to work on it.... i think in my understanding thats why its this way...so dont blame the government of Anambra rather BLAME THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA
This road was in this deplorable state throught out the Jonathan's administration and it is part of what Fr. Mbaka spoke about during his famous pre-election speech. Yet, Anambra people sold their birth_right to pdp/Goodluck for a cup of garri, with nothing to show for it. Too bad. I sincerely hope the new govt will look into. Hoping.
THIS ROAD HAS BECOME THE NEMESIS OF 'NDIGBO'. PDP AND JONATHAN MADE ALL THE EMPTY PROMISES OF RECONSTRUCTING THE ROAD JUST TO GET IGBO VOTES AND SUPPORT. THE CURRENT 'OWA MBE' GOVERNOR IN ANAMBRA STATE IS NOT HELPING MATTERS. HE IS BUSY CELEBRATING DOUBTFUL BIRTHDAYS AND PREPARING FOR HIS RE-ELECTION.'OKU NA AGBA UNO, NWATA A NA ACHU OKE'(THE CHILD IS BUSY CHASING RATS WHILE THE HOUSE IS BEING CONSUMED BY WILD CONFLAGRATION)
You need to drive through that road. I drove that road some time ago, after which I spent my 2 months salary to fix my car. ask people on that axis and they will tell their horrid experiences. I hope the Buhari change will get there.
This is why I call the senators and House members in the national assembly, and indeed all those that call themselves political leaders of Igbo extraction, failures, disappointments and less strategic. look at what the Yorubas did with benin - ore - shagamu road, and the roads in that corridor, yet they betrayed the Man (as usual).
wilhemma and Faith You guys are talking without clues saying he road is under construction.. BY Who?.. I Travel to Enugu with that road almost 6 times in a month nobody is doing anything. Faith that is talking about old and new road am not Sure You know what you are talking about cos that pics linda sent eneters onitsha tru awka the other route enters other Anambra Villages. Be Sure before You comment Here.. Thank You Lind for this post..
Where are the Tanites o....where are the Gejites o....shame on all of you...Shame shame Shame...to all of u...ntorrrr!! You had this as road and you still voted for Gej....ntoorrrntoorrr to all you bigots manage the roads Gej built for you..nobody should disturb PMB pls! ndi vote for him di ya mkpa for now...Birthright sellers like you deserve nothing for now. Because of 5kg of rice u'all voted for a man that couldn't repair your roads in 6years of being president....shame!!
