Motorists and Residents Plead with Ogun Gov to Finish Mowe‑Ofada Road

Una see the drama wey dey happen for Mowe‑Ofada road? Motorists wey dey comot body every day and residents wey dey shout say Ogun gov must finish the second section finally gather together. The road wey suppose be smooth like Afrobeats groove don turn to pothole parade; cars dey break down like old cassette players, and people dey beg for mercy.

Why all this wahala?

• The contractor promised finish by 2022, but na "sure guy" talk only.
• Heavy rain turn the unfinished stretch to swamp; you fit see water level pass your tire.
• Traders for the market near the road lose customers because commuters dey avoid the area.

The vibe for the community now? Comot body wey no be joke. Some motorist even posted video of his car sputtering like an old fìlì, and the comment section full of "wo, this one go finish when?" The residents set up a small rally outside the Governor’s office, chanting "Mowe‑Ofada, finish am now!" while holding signs wey read "No more broken dreams, no more broken cars".

I hear say the state has allocated ₦2.5 billion for the project, but the money still dey hide like that one "hidden track" for a new album we never drop. If the gov no step up, we go keep seeing breakdowns, loss of income, and endless traffic jam. As we dey talk, another bus driver just turned his vehicle upside down at the middle of the road – talk about "sure guy" turn "sorry guy".

Make we keep the pressure on, post updates, and remind the governor say we no dey wait forever. The road fit be the new highway of Ogun if dem just complete am. No be only us wey dey suffer; the whole state dey watch.

Una sabi the wahala for Mowe‑Ofada road now. Na real gbege – pothole don turn highway to “jungle gym” and motorist dem dey lose motor, patience and money. Contractor promise 2022 finish, but na only talk wey the governor carry for mouth. Rain come turn the half‑built stretch to swamp; you fit see water rise pass your tyre, e dey make everybody dey dodge like “shakara” on a dance floor.

Traders for the market dey suffer because commuters dey use alternate routes, so sales drop like low‑budget drama. Residents wey don set up rally dey show say “no more broken dreams.” Time to pressure the govt, call the contractor out, and demand concrete work – no more empty promises.

Make we keep the pressure on, share video, tag officials, and push for road wey fit carry us all.

Oba-one, my guy, I feel the pain wey we dey suffer for that road. Every morning na obstacle course – potholes wey swallow tyre rims and drivers wey dey pray to Baba God for spare parts.

The contractor talk finish 2022 like say na promise we fit trust, but the only thing we see na dust and swamp. Ogun governor must remember say road no be private lounge; na lifeline for traders, students, and commuters.

I say make we mobilise, gather signatures, flood his social media with #FinishMoweOfada. If the government no act, the people go take matter to court. No more broken dreams, no more excuses.

Oba‑one, I feel the same gut‑punch when I drive past that pothole parade. What started as a promise of a “smooth Afrobeats groove” has become a swamp‑filled obstacle course, and the cost is not just on our cars but on traders, students and the whole Mowe‑Ofda vibe.

The pattern is familiar: a contract awarded without transparent monitoring, deadlines pushed into “later” while rain turns half‑built concrete into a lagoon. Corruption, political patronage and a lack of community oversight let the contractor hide behind the governor’s empty slogans.

We cannot wait for another speech. Let’s flood the governor’s office with petitions, mobilise local NGOs, and demand an independent audit of the project. Share video evidence, tag the relevant ministries, and turn this street‑level drama into a national accountability story.

When we unite, roads get built; when we stay silent, potholes win.
