Highway to glory?

Can anyone please tell me exactly where the Lagos-Ibadan expressway starts. Had the gory experience of spending approximately 1hr 40mins from the redemption camp to the MFM camp, 5:30pm to about 7:10pm before the vehicle I was in finally broke through. There were some broken down vehicles, a few collisions and finally at the MFM end; no obvious cause of the traffic jam. The damaged portion of the road was perhaps the only logical reason for the extensive "go-slow".

 

I really want to know exactly where the road starts so I can understand if Julius Berger are justified to have started their road expansion task at a point after the redemption camp from the Lagos end. There was a decomposing body of an adult male directly opposite the redemption camp and with the numerous pot holes and ponds along the stretch between the redemption camp and the MFM camp, one begins to wonder if that portion of the road was deliberately left to the hosts of heaven to fix.

Now they are all over facebook ranting about how Lagos-Ibadan expressway is getting a face lift by the benevolent president after many years of being neglected. Neglected by the opposition? These people are constantly taking us for a ride and I feel even much more insulted when those who ought to be youthful and know better start singing the praise of these looters.

 

It's supposed to be just over 6 months left to the next general elections and we don't yet have permanent voters cards and some people are appointing Corp marshal to head aviation because of 2015. If the people are content with dwelling with filth everywhere and plying roads not befitting for transporting animals, then they should "kontinuu" looking on like "mugus" and allow sycophants dictate to susceptible voters what to do on Valentine's day. If the administrators of 2 landmark convention grounds cannot prevail on the government(s) concerned to promptly address the urgent defects on the portion of road that cuts through their domain, they had better summon angels to either get rid of that decomposing body or at least restore him to life.

 

The frantic response to the Ebola issue clearly shows the knee jerk response of our governments if any at all. Should the fear of an epidemic not prompt the government to move fast to resolve any pending issue in the health sector? Samples have to be sent to Dakar for confirmation, I sincerely hope and pray we don't have any outbreak because Dakar would just be too far. Bush meat was clearly on display all the way from beyond Ibadan to Lagos, I'm not sure if some of our people indulge in bats anyway.

 

I read in the newspapers on Friday that the aviation ministry had debts of 153billion naira, a 21billion drop from what it used to be. I really want to know what the equivalent of $1billion is in naira.
