greaterlove: one of the issues many have with obama is his neglect of infrastructural development, although it started way before him, but one was thinking a president who is trying to reduce the funding on military will shift those funds to infrastructures. if this story is true it shows the fear some americans have been expressing for years on the bad state of their bridges and roads. asia is taking over, for hardly do you hear of new projects coming out of america but ppl will pay to see the wonders springi [size=13pt]That's a lie. Drive past any road or bridge being reconstructed. They all have signs that read "Project Funded By The American Recovery and Reinstatement Act" aka the stimulus package that republicans were kicking against.[/size] |

9jadelta: how many bridges has collapsed in nigeria? Name 2 N_girl: That's exactly what I was wondering.. Na wa for some peopleHa ha - e true oh, but let us face facts, we cannot even compare the number of bridges in Nigeria to USA or even the number of vehicles or traffic. Also I don't even get what people are arguing about, are we trying to compare infrastructure between the two countries (which is like a bad joke) or we should sympathize with USA for this incident. Isn't that more in line with out Nigerian spirit and character  |

Why is obama hated by the majority of white americans? It seems they can't wait for the guy to leave the white house. *comments on yahoo are hilarious* |

solomon111: Why is obama hated by the majority of white americans?I don't think you should consider the vile anti Obama comments on public forums as representative of everyone. Remember it is only the angry ones who go out there and post a lot and all over. Also remember it is this same group of "majority white Americans" that voted for him not once but twice! |

supaeagles:sympathise with the US? Are you kidding me? What of the hundreds of innocent lives the US have killed with their drones programme? Sorry,It's extremely hard to sympathize with the US. Some would even say they deserve it. Even their so-called allies secretly despise them. I am sure the US can build thousands of heavenly bridges from the stolen resources of foreign nations. |

ogugua88: Nne, this is my first of seeing u a lil bit aggressive... Imagine the boldness "that's a LIE"...LOL I will speak of DC and VA because this is where I work and live, construction every effin place. Like seriously, I spend more than 30mins in traffic because of new construction. This is why I said he had no clue what he's talking about, I believe Obama's administration in infrastructure is massive compared to Bush or prior administrations. At times it's best to correct people like him because FAUX NEWS has done a lot of publicity damage. |

simply_me: If this were to be in Nigeria, a lot of dunces will be asking for the head of the President - especially if America has a DollarLand forum. So you don't think they will not sanction anybody or raise some inquiry into the incident, simply because 'it is America'? |

sh-t happens. we are not perfect so nothing that comes from us will be perfect.. i just hope the victims are ok. |

manny4life: Nne, this is my first of seeing u a lil bit aggressive... Imagine the boldness "that's a LIE"...LOL [size=13pt]Lol, cos how many times in one week pesin wey never smell Cotonou wan tell us Yankee affairs?  It is massive. There isn't anywhere that I've gone since President Obama took office that I haven't seen construction, even in rural counties. The freeways in rural zones of California (headed towards Nevada) were two lanes before, so there was always heavy traffic going into the city. When I was in high school, I was late to class on a daily basis because of hold up lol. A third lane was added and completed around 2011 or so. Traffic is gone  Faux News sabi lie. Sometimes I watch them just to see what they're discussing. What they discuss never concerns a majority of Americans lol.[/size] |

*Kails*: [size=13pt]There were only three victims, and their injuries have been described as "slight". I read that the worst injury was a dislocated shoulder. The man popped his shoulder back in as he and his shocked wife waited for rescuers to reach them. Imagine that![/size] |
| Re: Bridge Collapses In Washington State, USA by churific(m): 8:45pm On May 24, 2013 |
Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense! First, no one died. Only 1 shoulder was dislocated and popped back into place. Second, the bridge didn't collapse due to design or material failure as with most bridge collapses in Nigeria, a "tractor-trailer cargo" hit a support girder, causing the bridge to collapse. Third, this article is an over exaggeration. About only 3 people were involved so away with your "sending people and vehicles into the water" nonsense. And what was the result? $21B will be invested in infrastructure construction, including improvements to existing roadways; something you won't see in our country! Always get your facts straight first. |
| Re: Bridge Collapses In Washington State, USA by Nobody: 8:48pm On May 24, 2013 |
[size=13pt]^^ That's journalism for you. Sensationalism. Only two vehicles fell into the river, and the trailer struck several trusses on the bridge, making it collapse. I think the article was written as the story was unfolding because if you click the link now, the article is two pages long with fewer inaccuracies. I think the thread should be modified. That's how folks in Nigeria will start saying a bridge collapsed for no reason lol.[/size] |

simply_me: If this were to be in Nigeria, a lot of dunces will be asking for the head of the President - especially if America has a DollarLand forum. Nigeria's case is different.Because nigeria doesn't even understand the concept of good roads(tracks),talkless of bridges.This is just a structural negligence that got really bad or it could have been sabotaged. But they will find out and make sure it doesn't happen again.In nigeria,pedestrians overhead bridges are death traps,with gaping holes waiting to break apart any moment.Meanwhile people are just unconcerned,undermining the dangers they expose themselves to every time they walk past those bridges.And Some even hawk on them all day,including victimized children. Don't even go there.It is sad to see the unpaved,unkept dusty streets of nigeria.I hate for stranger to see them,it belittles human intelligence for people to live like that.To be unconstructive. |

dasparrow: @Bolded [size=13pt]That's the equivalent of an American stumbling on Nairaland and taking the remarks found here as the general opinion of the nation that is Nigeria. Wise? I think not.[/size] |

skies.oduah: Please stop this childishness! So anyone who does not kiss the behind of the USA must have been denied a visa? I am sure you are a fresh off the boat immigrant that is why the euphoria of living in the USA is still in you. Wait till you have lived there for 10 or more years and the white and black Americans deal with you mercilessly calling you nigg*r and African booty scratcher and what not, then let me see if you will still be quick to jump to the defense of a people who are not exactly fond of you. |
| Re: Bridge Collapses In Washington State, USA by Nobody: 10:29pm On May 24, 2013 |
I'm glad that no life was lost. Sometime last yr, a group of US structural engineers rated 1/4 of bridges in the US as "structurally deficient". They estimated that around $1 trillion would be needed to bring the infrastructure to European/Asian standards. |
