Uncompleted road

Most times we find uncompleted roads and we complain, but we have such in our lives and we feel we can just move on. Uncompleted roads are ugly and waste resources. Lagos; the city of excellence, has the very popular city of Ikorodu. Going into Ikorodu can be tedious, known for heavy traffic; it is a scary place for any visitor. The Lagos state government has been trying hard to make the road better, thanks to Babatunde Raji Fashola, the awesome past Governor that has touched many lives. Though, in his tenure there were big sores in the handsome six-packs body, but Lagosians ignored it and praised our fine man. In ikorodu area, before getting to Ikorodu bus-stop, There is a junction linking "Eyita"/" Power line" area, around "haruna" bus-stop, which has a road to relieve the traffic before getting to Ikorodu. It was a good road to construct as it leads to major areas in ikorodu, it was contracted out, but it has been left uncompleted for months now.

Bad roads can cause this

Road to leading to Ikorodu areas.

I noticed when they started the road, I saw idle men standing, sitting and drinking expensive alcohol, and the place was always bubbling with fun instead of work. I believe they were supervisors and the “Omo-onile” (The touts that disturb during construction and claim “land owner”). I assumed most of the money was spent on bribing and fun, before the work was completed. This is due to lack of proper planning. In our lives also are uncompleted projects, vision and dreams we are still sleeping on. We move on and sometimes promise to come back to it, we won’t. We most times find ourselves start work on a new idea, business, vision or whatever, leaving the uncompleted ones to our GHOST. Thomas Edison has the highest number of patent in the U.S.A, he said he finished other inventor’s work and started few ones to achieve this. We find ourselves anticipating the profit more than we anticipate the cost. Am an Engineer but I did some management courses in school, and we were taught to be more conscious and consider expenditure than income, because at the end, we have more profit. Whatever vision or project we have, let us have a plan to finish it. Finishing require detail analysis of the expenditure involved, not the profit. We find profit of contract spent before the contract is executed, this leaves the project uncompleted and the client ANGRY. If you have a dream, and you know the cost, all that is left is an opportunity, so get a cost for the plan to finish that project and believe your dream will come true. Trust God, keep dreaming and prepare a plan to finish every vision, project etc. #ExpenditureFirst
