ON THE ISSUE OF ROADS IN EBONYI STATE: THEN & NOW!



The feeling I had while plying through Ngbo-Effium express-way eh😳🙆‍♀ (especially from Ngbo Court to Ndiegu Odeh).
The last time I passed through that road was sometime in 2014. The road was so... Well, not that bad (compared to most Ngbo roads), but it is heavenly now😎
I had the same feeling while passing through Presco Junction last weekend. Not like I don't pass there often; maybe  the thought of how dust seriously dealt with us along that road, few years back made the whole feeling sweet.
Right inside the bus I prayed that other Ngbo roads be remembered, especially Otinyi road😄. The thought of how dust used me to prepare "ökwö-nri" along Umuogudu Osha road, few years back, makes me really sick. The thought of visiting places within Ngbo communities this period, makes me scared.

But something so strong told me to be patient. That we will be remembered soon. For a moment, I paused. I remembered that some years back, a lot of us suffered the effects of bad roads in many parts of this state. I remembered that during dry season, dust gives us a natural make-up not just on the face but on our pretty dresses.
"Ihe di mma di mma", I said to myself.

Now, this is not a political speech/article. This is me being sincere to admit that Yes, our today is better than yesterday. Our problem not just in this country, but as humans is that we tend to see only the bad sides of a person without considering the good sides. Since I was born, I am yet to see any government that doesn't have an opposition. Sometimes, the same people that sang their praises, still criticizes them. Take it from me, I have no problem with criticism so far it is not character defamatory.
Here in Nigeria, we blame the government for everything, even when your father married many wives & couldn't train you or your siblings in school. I tire🙆‍♀.
Our government has disappointed us severally, agreed. But we still need to encourage them in the few good works they do.
I shared a post this morning on my timeline. I think the guy wants Ebonyi State Government to perform a magic. Bros, this is not Camelot and we don't have people like Merlin here. Thank you sir🙏

Meanwhile, I am really hoping that more roads be remembered by the present administration, starting with the Otinyi road😄. Eziokwu m, any day I see that road under construction eh, the whole world will hear about it; trust me.
Sirs/Mas, make una remember us, biko🙏🏼

I didn't know this "short" piece will be this long. Thank you for your patience.

PS: Biko if you are close to Ebonyi State GH, talk to them on our behalf🙏🏼
