Billyonaire: Chill out bro, dont always take things personal. You are old enough to father most Nairalanders, so you need to always focus on thread and keep your sentiments out of the equation. You, my friend, need more education on behaviorism, Mannerism and Truthology. That bridge is NOT good enough for the Tax Payers of Oyo State. That, my friend, is the truth.

payless:

This is not a modern designed bridge. It looks unappealing and old fashioned to me. It's not well paved if you look at the first picture.

Garri the 1st:

Can you substantiate ur claim above??

What do you mean by eyesore??

Is it structurally deficient or aesthetically unappealing??

In very specific terms, WHY DO YOU THINK THE BRIDGE IS AN EYESORE??



*Waiting*

lovejo:

Is that bridge open to heavy lorry also, check page 1 as i told you, i'm not against this project, i made it in Ibadan and Ibadan is my home but I can't just because of that not to say my opinion.
Government need critics and i'm not a critics, i'm given my opinion and my opinion is not paramount.

django1:

You don't know anything about the said bridge and you're talking! The least you can know is that heavy trucks are barred from taking the bridge. Did you witness the construction? No, but still you say the bridge is not up to par! Is your phone a diagnostic x ray vision, spirit foretelling phone? How did you know its not up to standard from mere looking at the pictures?

If the flyover had been double lane now, it would have met all your standards? Sebi? Olodo upon 20!

ngozievergreen: Ibadan no try as per capital at all, most of d private houses are miserably and sad looking.

Lemme not talk abt dat bridge cos these tribalists have not travelled

One_Naira: Since people can't make a suggestion on any SW thread without accusation of jealousy and tribal jargon thrown at people, make i waka oo.

DrummaBoy: Well, the much publicized newly constructed Mokola (Ibadan, Oyo state) bridge is billed for opening today.

This NLander took time off to takes photo shots of the new bridge prior to its commissioning

Ajumose gbo gbo wa ni O

Oyo oni baje O... Ibadan oni to shi O

Charles1234:
I think the quality of work is not that so good but this is something atleast//this are some bridges in Akwa Ibom

django1:

Pls don't take ds too personal but is your father paying tax in OYO? If not can you kindly show us which state your father hails from and what the governor of dt state is doing with your father's money!

Garri the 1st:

If this was an exam, I'll say ur answer is OP (Out of Point). You've got urself a CO (Carry-Over). Read my post again, try to understand it, if you can't understand it, ask someone to explain it to you.

If you do all you can and still don't get it, don't bother replying.

Thanks.

Afam4eva: I remember how dirty and unkempt that bridge was a few years back. I'll have to commend the governor on this.

It is not my style to have conversation with an angry individual on the internet. You seem to be very angry for whatever reason. The architect who came up with that design should realise we are no more in the 70s. The design of that bridge is not what is expected from architects who know we are no more in the 20th century. The architect who designed the bridge is architecturally inept to come up with that design. I don't know how many bridges you have seen in your life but I guess not a lot. My advice to you is to travel to Lagos and see the design of bridges being built in Lagos by Fashola compare to what Ajimobi just did. Ajimobi has been a very good Governor so far but he goofed on this one.

I don't live in Nigeria and I know a flawed or flawless designed bridge when I see one. The paving of that bridge is not smooth and I have to say it is one of the worst I have ever seen constructed.


Would you like me to post some pictures of well designed bridges for you to see?

Sunny_bobo: Is it just me or did any other person notice that the quality of the bridge appears to be poor and seems like something that could collapse in no distant time. Can the bridge be compared to this one in Akwa Ibom state?

lovejo:

I think the contract is around 970m Naira, but I can't matched that to the book value because it was awarded directly by the governor to himself and sold it out.

You don't seem to get it, do you?

This mokola flyover is in the center of ibadan, I hope you understand what that means!

This uyo flyover is located in a developing area, bounded by no structures.

Charles1234:
hey man i understand you perfectly but i will like to say i don't agree with your point.My reasons are this fly overs in uyo where all resident area that had to be brought down so as to build a quality structure and they were all build in this present Governor Akpabio.. I think if Ibadan most have quality structures then alot of those house around this area has to go and secondly there will always be need for expansion,if you look under the Ibadan flyover in pics is like a market square,it does not matter if the flyover was there 50 years ago,there something in engineering will call remodeling..if you know Uyo 5 years ago,You will describe it as a village.this fly over in Ibadan in the tread is not a standard structural engineering job.
