edicolove: These ACN and El Rufai crew will never fail to disappoint. How much does it take to design a 5 bedroom duplex? How much do you think it took LASG to design falomo bridge? Why didn't they call for bidders and charge them like someone suggested above? You lot are beginning to sound like broken records. Architectural design, geological survey, physical planning, etc before you construct an over 1km bridge over the river Niger is not something most of you can comment on. So all you should do is ask questions not make comments. Its very possible that in the Nigerians scenario, some government people might have added some millions to the figure but that figure is still very much in the range for such a project.

sheyguy: N328m? Is it going be a wooden brigde?

Ekans: Haba,talks of the 2nd niger bridge has been on for the past 15yrs,i wonder the kind of politics they are playing on the intelligence of ibo people.When it suits them,they raise the issue to get support and embezzle the money and the ibos will remain fooled.Who ever told ibos that GEJ will achieve this when the east -west road that is in his backyard is so deplorable.Ibos wisen up,its all talk and no action.

NOt every commentator is partisan.You seem to be suggesting just that.Every Nigerian has a right to comment on what goes on in their country.It is highly intolerant to resort to personal attacks if people do not see things your way.The Falomo bridge or anything by Fashola is quite simply not relevant here .If there are issues to be discussed on Falomo bridge create a thread for it.
If people have opinions that you disagree with here by all means debunk them fact and logic always trump ad hominem

deshclones: You beat me to it...wanted to say this..seems someone somewhere will benefit from dis sham contract..smh..btwn neva knew u had sense like this..a Yoruba man for that matter..odi egwu.

Kobo hold it there..you neva complained when fashola used almost 3b to construct that less than 1km bridge at law sch,the one that links falomo..

sheyguy: N328m? Is it going be a wooden brigde?

Malawian: @ Deshclones, i dey vex with you so. Na you and who be Yoruba? I am an igbo from oraukwu anambra state! Both my parent are from the same town, so i am not even half igbo! Abeg o. You can tell a Yoruba from afar, all you need do is follow their cowardly stench. Kpachalu anya o. Achikwa mu ogu.

afam4eva:
Are you insinuating that the money will not be enough, because i'm feeling same. This is not your regular bridge that we're talking about.

OYINBOGOJU: anyway i expected the contract to be inflated 100times before the construction is done.

Contract awarded to construction firm with no address, an introduction to chop a national cake.

Malawian: That bridge can be designed for zero naira! All they needed to do was invite a rash of reputable construction giants to tender for the bridge. The FG could have even made money instead by collecting tender fees, and open tendering (which must include architectural and structural designs) would have driven the price of the final construction down since they were all competing for the same contract.

Kobojunkie:

Good observation. We need to get to work finding out the name and address of the company.

OYINBOGOJU:

I guess there is limit to what we can do in this regard.

It is part and norms of PDP led goevernment since 99,unless we overhaul the entire FEC and replace them with Sane people.

edicolove:


Haba! Do you somehow have the power to see the future? Or are we going to the polls this weekend? This is 2012. 2015 is still 3 years away. If the construction hasn't taken off then, I will personally retweet your post all over twitter. But for now, the contract process has just begun. Fingers crossed but good news all the same

All talk and no action when the Onitsha-Owerri road is blazing like an airstrip? You gat no clue!

Ekans: .My brother,the onitsha-owerri road was done by Obj and sincerely speaking the igbos have faired better under his verious tenures.I am an igbo man and i should know.Even the idea for the 2nd niger bridge was given much impetus under him.

Malawian: @ Deshclones, i dey vex with you so. Na you and who be Yoruba? I am an igbo from oraukwu anambra state! Both my parent are from the same town, so i am not even half igbo! Abeg o.

Kobojunkie:

NOT with FOI and the media out there.

So can you tell me a list of those that aint partisan or are you new to NL? Does this article sound to you as something that should have been greeted with insults and ridicule? You are funny. I prefer partisan people to hypocrites. Please stick to the topic, thank you.

Billyonaire: I dont know what type of Bridge that 325 million Naira can be build, but I know that average Five Bedroom duplexes cost 120 million Naira. If a bridge has to be built, it should be a damn good bridge, not some wooden crossbar.
