The newly constructed one at @ Agip Junction will soon collapse too, if care is not taken. That "flyover" looks so weird and horrible.

I saw them pouring concrete with buckets and I was like whaaaat?.

I sworn not have anything to do with those " flyovers". Like a year or two ago, I was arguing the quality of job being done on that flyover with a friend that was insisting on the capabilities of the local contractors aka community chiefs in handling such a highly sensitive engineering jobs and all that.

so, one morning I took him to have a breakfast @ Kilimanjaro, which is situated just around the on going construction of the flyover. Just when I re-opened our earlier dIscussIon and pointing to him the visible inconsistencies from a position we sat in the eatery, then we saw the piling machine free-falling and everybody around there took to their heels. That scene was very horrible but luckily no sIngle casualty was recorded.

Shortly before Omehia was booted out of power by the courts, its on record that he paid the contractor that was suppose to build that bridge the total 100% cost of the bridge has mobilisation fee. Can u beat that?
Dude, are you sure you live in P.H? The collapsed bridge was completed sometime in 2005 or so. Omehia only came in 2007. The bridge you are referring to, in which he paid the contractor (Julius Berger) 100% mobilization is the ELEME JUNCTION flyover. That bridge has since been completed.

Nop, we are talking about eliozu bridge and not eleme bride neither are we talking about the just collapsed bride at airforce. 100% mobilization was for eliozu and not eleme and julius berger isnt the contractor at eliozu. am trying to remember the contractor's name now, i cant for now. By the way, am not so sure if Julius berger was allowed to complete eleme junction bridge, i think they were chased away when some of their workers were kidnapped or so

Odili"s wife is a Justice of a federal high court. So nothing will happen to Peter Odili, though he is a criminal.
She has since been promoted, So she is now a supreme court judge. Enough reason why her husband Thief Peter OLEdi works the street a free man- Only in Nigeria.

Only if you are privilege to have access to the contract documents, then be rest assured that these thieves can award and re-award thesame contract over and over again. The button line is the governors are not sincere and the masses are dumb.

Classicalman: This morning i noticed a great traffic along the Aba road on my way to work. I discovered that a section of the Airforce flyover bridge had collapsed, causing that section of Aba road to be blocked. This is so terrible. That bridge is less than 7yrs old. Peter Odili has killed us.
Fellow Nigerian, thats my main route whenever i go to Owerri or Airport. As a safety/ emergency officer, i knew it was a matter of time before that bridge will collapse. The gridlock from Aba road spilled onto other connecting roads. On my way from work, i saw scores of pple at various bus stops waiting in vain for buses. Some of the most ridiculous bridges in Nigeria abound here. You know what happens when Aba road is blocked in PH! I only pity Nigerians plying that road. There are other ones in the state that should be closed. Our rylers need to be fed to the crocodiles.

Sharrrapp dia boy! Who told u it was d F.G that constructed Eleme junction flyover? As for the 100% for eliozu, i agree with Demdem. @Demdem, the contractor for eliozu was the same Bulletine that constructed the now defunct airforce flyover bridge.

It is funny how desperate these politicians are. Why will you steal and do a bad job on a bridge? What if this happened with people under it or on it when it collapsed? What if the bridge area became a very populated market area or bus area? They obviously value money more than human life. Just like they steal pension, health care and education money. After a while people begin to wonder why their families are suffering from all sorts of calamities.

I heard a rumor that the rumokwuta - choba road was awarded to a PDP chairman GU Ake who then re awarded it to Homan Engineering and that the Chairman is Nyesom Wike our present minister of state for education. That road till date remains under construction refusing to be completed. Meanwhile the Rumokwuta - Rumuola which is much shorter in distance was awarded to a know construction giant MCC which has done a job which we can rate as average to good.

See as some people in PDP are destroying this country.

That perpetual injunction was the dumbest thing I ever heard years ago when the news first broke, and is still the dumbest thing I have heard till date. The fact that such nonsence is still allowed to stand only shows the unseriousness of the authorities with fighting corruption. What freaking precedence does that set if it remains? Who won't be getting perpetual injunction after stealing? Yet if frustrated citizens take the law into their own hands and stone that man on the street before burning him alive with tyre they would be called uncivilised. Bad governance costs lives and robs people of opportunities.

We are all busy talking about the present effect of a past bad job by previous governors. Well, if you ask me, that is not the solution. The present govt is busy giving road contracts to individuals/political associates. Wonder what happened to Julius Berger and others. The only construction company we can reckon with I'm the state for now is the RCC. If they don't stop awarding road construction contracts to indigenous firms/politicians, more of this will happen in the nearest future. Currently, virtually all the roads in PH are bad. Take a drive on the roads of PH if u doubt me. Tankers and trailers are falling everyday on PH roads. A journey of 20mins takes a minimum of 1hr 30mins cos of very bad roads. The govt should invite J.Berger to assist RCC or make RCC come with full squad in the state. Pls save our loves from accidents.

Guy you are the one not well informed. It's on record that Omehia paid Bulletine Construction 100% for the Eliozu flyover. He collected 20% thereafter as Eugene. Please ask questions.
