zetdee: I still stand by my statement "I'd thing twice before crossing it" Look how many bridges have colapsed in China in just one year due to corruption, something that plaques 9ja. Nigerians be warned.

CAMEROONPRIDE: @ naptu2 are u fashola?

Lagos the pride of Nigeria

naptu2: Now, since we've now got the three route entrance/exit points that I dreamt about and now that the ferry system is up and running, it's time to examine my wish list for my Lekki.

1) The Green Line: This is my main wish. I can barely wait for it to be built.

2) The return of the TUC BRT buses: The TUC buses made everything simple and easy. They were hundreds of times better than the LagBus system. I wonder why they stopped operating. (I would have preferred the segregated system, rather than the priority system).

3) Eko Water Buses: Tarzan has started using the new boats. SeaCat should follow suit.

4) Expansion of the Ajah-Langbasa Road and construction of the Fourth Mainland Bridge.

Gov't takes tax payers money to build infrastructures for the people, then asks them to pay or it.

naptu2:

I'm going to add that to my list.

Let's see. . . . All the things I've been called on nairaland.

"Government official or SSS agent", "Benefiting from Lagos State Government", "Yoruba Boy", "Northerner", "GEJ asslicker", "librarian", "journalist", "you people" (I suspect that the guy meant either muslim or northerner), "Fashola". I think there's more.

redsun: Cities have risen and fallen for thousands of years.Built by me to show their drives,cultures,architectures,intelligence,ingenuity,beliefs and the joy of being humans.

They rise,they fall.They rise again.All for vanity.

Those that can not build are those that have not discovered the essence of being.And understanding the concept of building lies in understanding the basics.The little things like being able to feed yourself.

CyberG: I have read most of the posts here and it seems some people are really created to suffer in that country or born with the curse of foolishness. Call it by any name, most people forget something very important in Nigeria and Lagos particularly: hold-ups which mean dead load! For anyone who did not take a course in structures or mechanics, a bridge is not a parking lot where cars are held up in traffic for several minutes or hours ==> dead load. Without the adapted design using columns to support and bear more of the load (think partial redundancy design or fault tolerance), how long will it be before a multi billion naira structure collapses killing perhaps hundreds of motorists on the bridge at that time? Or is it more important to blindly copy designs from other countries whose traffic patterns are different than Lagos?

For those whose only job is to demean anything from the West, what are your governors doing? Every week, we read about something positive being commissioned or constructed in the SW, but nothing in your own state or regions. It is either your leaders are traveling out to treat headaches, fighting each other on who should be the next governor, borrowing billions of naira in addition to high monthly allocations, etc. If indeed your governors and states are doing much better, then may your lives be run just as your leaders are running your states! Say Amen!

dammytosh:

What type of useless Government builds 1.358km of bridge for 29Billion naira. $180million +. Jesus Christ !!!!

And reason why i fear voting for APC abi na OPC is the fact that all basic ammenities provided would be tolled. After all these tax ?

Unfortunately , there is no hope as the Government in Abuja is clueless and lacks direction.

Prosterity will judge all these Leaders and sycophant and ignorant followers.

Good morning.

Ogbuefi_Negro:

Good morning my brother. lol.

oh i forgot o, add "oko ishilove" put for the names. where is she, surprised she hasnt shown up.

naptu2: They are seriously preparing for Wednesday (when the bridge will be commissioned). The gates have been removed and replaced by vehicle height restriction bars (I guess large trucks and buses will not be allowed to use the bridge). They brought in a street sweeper to sweep that portion of Admiralty Road and they've finished planting the garden at the new roundabout.

naptu2: @ Eko-Ile: have you seen what's going on at Obalende? I took some pictures of the MacGregor Canal the other day, I plan to go back and take more. It's simply AMAZING!
