 THE METAPHOR OF EXPRESS AMAKA,MA ÓGA ESI NA ANA ONYE GAFE ? written to Anambara by Mkpisi Ndi Egede.


As much as we love Wider Roads and even Urbanized towns, but there are pros and cons that should be considered before embarking on certain ventures.


Though it's waste of time trying to suggest or make sense to Gov Soludo,unless you are Prof without published journals in certain Discipline,he dissed advise ,hate correction, especially coming from onye Ceremesi and onye Central for reasons best known to him.

I suspect the phobia na Central Nwelu edge in great thinking and better Governance.


In ANAMBRA State, especially in Central where there's excruciating Austerity of Land , certain towns don't have ancestral land bequeathed to offspring to afford the one to be obliterated ,those towns make do with whatever available and buying of land in such communities are more expensive than Asokoro Abuja, higher than Banana Island Lagos.


Then a Son of the State will maul down houses built on such places of want without asking self ,does it worth the sacrifice?,the self asked question should be onye ji óhú Nkwu pia Eze, óga amuta onye na amu ?.


Then a Man who understands economy will render some families destitute without care or cosmetic provision , and my old Woman will ask ,Maka why ?.


It simply boil down to lark of team work ,it boils down to individual ideas , especially developed from vantage position of the Rich . 


Had the Governor consulted Men with conscience,they would've explained to him that it would've serve better to introduce Flyovers to criss cross roads,as it can be seen in many advance town ,such as the proposed model  nations of Dubai and Taiwan which was his selling point.


Gov Peter Obi who Prof Soludo referred to as trading Governor and who he said is Second class Student were able to understand the pains of affliction of crushing ancestral bequeath,and what he did instead of Expansion of Roads ,was to create alternative Spurs. Rather than creating expansion like Prof Charles Soludo is doing,he will halve most houses, render many compounds useless,take more than required space,then after knocking down houses ,he will reduce the Gutter to former position it was ,the examples are from Nnobi down to Igboukwu with a little Kiss at Ekwulobia, but tactical adjustment through Isuofia his home Town .

Judging his demolition of roads ,when it gets to Isuofia axis,you understand why no man attacks ant which perched at his Nadike Ogbogú with Vaulance,you see you can always trade with care and peaceful resolution.


Creating Spurs is same like Welu ógbiri manye Ewu and Welu Ewu manye ógbiri, you achieve same result,there will be roads and short cuts, but the people can't be gnashing teeth , laden with affliction caused by own Governor.


The worst is that the roads expanded so far, serve as danger to dwellers,as there is no walk way for the inhabitants,you can't walk out of your house and have somewhere safe to balance , once you walk out , you step into Expanse of Express with Commercial Vehicles cruising for return trip at Neck breaking speed,then kaping innocent citizens are just collateral the Governor did not consider.


If you want to walk to next compound , it's at walkers risk,as you will be use mental trafficator to warn Vehicles which you are sharing same Road space with.


If you drive out from your half slashed compound, it's right into Express, either your vehicle became danger to already moving Vehicle or Okada ,or kwanu they will smash your into bits ,just because you don't have culvert or embarkment that served as buffer way back before the Advent of Expansion without vision.


I just don't know if the Civil Engineers worked with Town planners to arrived at the smashing of houses ,pulling down of fences just for split second applause ,they would've considered safety of pedestrian ,we all know na Express Amaka as long as it's sited na ana onye ózó.


Sir ,my prayer to you is to call back your engineers with the Civil Engineers and reshape, redesign all Roads that are yet to be constructed,improve those places with over head bridge and let owners of land recover the already lost or demolished spaces and land,after all what smokers want from cigarette is the smoke and turning the Heart to Charcoal,what we want is larger road that will contain more Cars,and Enwe ebe Motor na Agba na enú,Agba na Ani ,the problem is solved.


I come as Special Adviser on Good Governance,this advise will give you more of organic love .


You can throw the advise under bus as usual ,but discuss it with Civil Engineers and also Men that matters in leadership.


My own is always what is good for our people and not what is Politically good for our pocket.


Thanks as I hope you pay mind to the Advise.


Somebody with good mind should kindly forward this message to him ,as he blocked my Number because I refused to use Euphemism while making submission.
