Be warned: Death Trap on Nekede/Ihiagwa Road:


The Nekede/Ihiagwa road is one of the busiest roads in Imo state, leading to A federal university of technology, a federal polytechnic, a monastery, a police training school, an industrial/business cluster, one of the biggest market in Owerri, one of the best seminary Bethel and a whole lot of other public and private establishments, yet the government hasn't deemed it fit to fix this road for good.
This road is the only expressway to most villages in the local government area. While coming from the Owerri capital city through this road, you'll first meet Umudibia Nekede, then Umuoma Nekede, Ihiagwa, Eziobodo, Okolochi, Emeabiam, Umuokpor, Umunoha, and Obinze... The indigenes of these villages are in tears, agony, and filled with sadness because of the bad state of this road. The road has gotten too bad to an extent that the muddy water and sand now into people's living houses and compounds. This road has gotten so bad that passersby's do not even see a space to put their legs while using the road.
We're not talking about vehicles and motorcycles... Those ones find it difficult to use this road because of the ugly state and concurrent damage it causes to their vehicles. Now the few commercial motorists that had to summon the courage to use this road charge exorbitantly to render transportation services to people within this area.
Before now, transportation fare from Umudibia to Owerri used to be #50 (fifty naira only) as time elapsed and the road started getting worse, it rose to #100 (hundred naira only). But as I type, the motorist here charge as much as #300 (three hundred naira) and a few others #400 (four hundred naira) from Umudibia Nekede to Owerri capital city... A 15 minutes drive journey. Do we blame the motorist, definitely NO, we should blame the government for this difficult situation our people are facing...
For over a decade now this road has been a snare and a deadly trap to claim lives. The government of Imo state is not interested in fixing the road and this has caused so many people their job. Today shops and stores hardly make sales as nobody stops to buy anything from them. You dare not go through that road aiming to attend a party or a meeting less you get yourself messed up. Vehicles get sunk on that road every day placing the lives of people at danger and risk... 
The good people of Nekede and other neighboring communities call on His Excellency, Governor Hope Uzodimma, to please use his good office to attend to their needs, please sir come and help the lives of these poor masses. Fix this road and make this situation easier for us. We'll forever be grateful if you do May God help Imo state.
