WITH THE RAINS COME THE PAINS!!!

Woke up to the patter of the rain outside, the cold made me want to snooze back again and suddenly the remembrance of the roads would be like if i dont get out of the house early made me jump up.....while the body was booting and me saying my sleep dazed morning prayers...i remembered the road leading our of street and i just wanted to jump back into bed.

 

 Let me give you a gist on how the road became a nightmare.... about 2 months it was just some little patches on the road and the over zealous Local government chairman sent his boys to excavate the surface for repairs.....wow we all sang his praises.... after the tractors had left the site, we waited with our breaths held......well that was 2months ago, and right now the road has 2 nasty craters and is a nightmare, every hour a car gets stuck, even saw a jeep stuck there this morning...well we had to convert the walkway/culvert to a road , but the shop owners put up road blocks to stop passage. Most times to avoid the major crater i have to circumvent using a road which is twice the journey or i park my car 2 'closes' away from home, along the main road and walk home.......

......and now i ask what was the idea of the project to torment us or at the inception of the idea , there was a political score being looked for......
The only good thing about the road, is that it prepares you for other nightmares along the way, dont think i passed any as worse as mine, even oshodi express isnt that bad.

Driving to work through the rain induced traffic was hectic, felt smart and passed through 'ijesha' only to get into a worse bottleneck...you know traffics on 'expressways' make more sense than traffic jams on 'streets'.... Well the only joy of the rains meant i would not be seeing any 'VIO ' ..check last blog for my issues with them...

Giving credit to the BRF administration which has tried in its on little way on rehabilitation of roads and freeing up traffic on major roads, but they have a long way to go.
If we the populace can play our own part by paying our TAX..snickers..and also stop indiscriminate dumping of refuse into gutters. YES we all are guilty in our own little way, that lacasera bottle and gala nylon you threw out of the car yesterday is going to get blown into one of them gutters and cause a blockage, which would definitely lead to overflows onto the roads and create potholes.



WE ALL HAVE OUR PART TO PLAY IN TAKING CARE OF OUR ROADS AND ENVIRONMENT, ITS NOT ONLY ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT!!!
