To make it worst, there are endless road blocks of extortionist who called themselves olokpa, there are jobless local people in every locality who think they have the right to collect toll fees from hapless motorist/ travelers for using ‘their’ road. There are also, some uniformed people who called themselves Federal Road Safety officials, whose job are to secure broken roads which are better described as death traps and to collect higher Egunje than olokpa from motorist.
Inter – state traveling by road will make you cry/weep silently with a big pain in your heart for the money you spent on buying your brand new car when you have no choice than to drive the car through some big ‘bore holes’ on the road they called pot holes. Most of the roads are colonial roads which haven’t seen major repair or expansion for many years. Many people are buying cars but the roads haven’t seen major expansion because our leaders don’t project for the future. Have they ever thought, about, what would happen in the next 10 years if people are buying more cars everyday and no major improvement on the roads?
If Rail system is well managed, it is the safest, cheapest and convenient means of transportation; many trains are even faster than cars. What has happened to the $8.3billion railway modernisation project they awarded to China Construction Engineering Company?
Today, People are now building houses and shops and some of our rail lines...
