Eko Ile: Why is this not a direct contract award with money on the table for JB to build the bridge from start to finish and get it over with? Why is this based on a common letter of intent and tolling on behalf of JB to recoup construction cost?

Basically, JB is building this bridge and not the FG.

What's wrong with their local and National leaders back east? They don't have enough power or influence to make the FG put money on the table and straight award the contract with firm completion date minus tolling and if they must toll, at least redirect the collected tolls to the region for maintenance and other construction activities?

All that aside gan sef, the real joke is the looming capital flight and fleecing of the potential end users of the bridge via decades of tolling with zero returns to the region.

With so much noise regarding this bridge and after years of begging, there's still no serious intentions on the part of the FG and the SE leaders to get this taken care of pain free and on time..



GEJ is Janging SE all over again...

Eko Ile:

You are wrong, we don't beg, we instead get off our asses and do something hence building many bridges in less than 4 years while your masters are yet to build one in decades.

We not only build our own roads, we take over the ones your weak and incompetent masters refused to take care of.

Fashola wrestled Badagry express away from you because of your incompetence, he wresteled Ikorodu road away from your lazy and incompetent masters, Fashola is side stepping your worthless elctricity system by building his own with underground cables.

Amosun is also fighting to wrestle Ogun roads away from your worthless masters.



We don't beg, we take care of our own destiny and future. Only foolish and lazy people beg other foolish and lazy people..

Guy, yorubas have not done anything for this nation, full stop. the so-called education u talked about is being led by easterners now. so, forget that one. all the inventions and technological advances in nigeria are not thanks to any yoruba.u dont go to school for the sake of it, u use it to change ur environs.u guys are mediocres.

and wrap up all those your crude oil speculations, if sw develops more oil wells 2moro, wat makes u think Rivers wont do the same?


if aligning with the north to become politically relevant again is wat u call political maturity, then i dont mind Rivers ppl being immature.

GAR3TH: The title is misleading, the only thing JB did is receive a letter of intent from the gov for winning the Bid. They said they are now doing soil sampling and have just started the engineering drawings /design of the bridge. So Nigerian journalism, tell me how they can start construction of the bridge when they haven't even finished the engineering design construction document? The bridge is months, if not years away from construction.
Thnk u my brother. D heading is totally different frm d body, yet pple re just posting rubbish.
Misleading titles just to get your website views is pretty low.

CyberG:

I am not here to speak for the Yorubas, they can SPEAK for themselves. I just thought I could point out some silly thinking for the poster but now that you jump into the fray, I will highlight you rather weak grasp of the issues. Check, your intellectual capacity:

Yorubas have not done anything for this nation - Without the Yorubas, Nigeria would most likely have remained a colonial egg for many more years before gaining independence
- The ibos might have come closer to succeeding in lording it over more parts of Nigeria but were effectively decimated by the superior strategy, military tactics and organization of the Yorubas.
- The ibos would most likely still live in the forest for they were civilized by the Yorubas who taught them how to read - Bishop Ajayi Crowther
- There will be nothing like Nollywood for the movie industry was pioneered by the Yorubas long before ibos started acting speaking in English
- King Sunny Ade, IK Dairo (MBE), Obey, Kollington, Fela, Femi, etc had been performing in all over the world before any ibo man whether Osadebe or PSquare was known to perform anywhere on this planet.
- The best universities have always been in Yorubaland - UI, Ife, Unilag, etc. Today, the SW has more universities, better universities than any part of Nigeria
- The highest level of academic achievement long before any ibo man or what not.
- The most organized society since the days of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, even acknowledged by Azikiwe and Ojukwu, the 'best' ibo man since the ibo race

Let me draw one important distinction, which I would like to hear your views. The Yorubas seem to have no reason whatsoever to try and impress anyone or to prove themselves in anyway. They have done that too convincingly, check their history. These were a people already militarily superior and active since the 1400s! I read and understand that their society does not tolerate any kind of criminal acts as excuse to become rich unlike the ibos where the kids are told that if they do not make it in life and become rich, their voices will never be heard in the village meeting! On the other hand, ibos are strongly driven to prove a point! Now, there is nothing wrong in being driven for a lot of people I know are but it is a personal thing, a persona decision. However, the ibos seem to be struggling with their history and trying to find reasons for self worth! The loss of the civil war for example made them subject to the majority called Nigeria, they can not be respected for Nigeria knows that if the rubber meets the road again, the ibos will be soundly defeated again! The ibos like to project a different mien and hence tout and thump their noses anytime an ibo man does anything of note! If they are in the national team, we hear it is a biafra team. If an ibo man is COAS, we hear it is because the ibos are the superior military power! LWKMD! If PSquare sings a song or Aki and Pawpaw fly in a plane, we are told it is because ibos are the only ones who can afford to fly on such a jet. If an ibo man builds a house in his village, they snap pictures and inundate NL servers to show the pictures! LWTMB! FYI, my own parents had exclusive houses built in their ancestral lands for vacation purposes as far back as the early 80s! Those houses are as fine and solid as any built today and our house is not the only one in that street! Yet, I have never even thought about it nor think posting the pictures to show you how many duplexes or condos are in my parents neck of the land! But ibos, it is a competition moreso if the road in Abriba is asphalted or graded! I can go on and on. Why do ibos think like this? Your real worth is not in thumping your nose at another man's achievement. That one man is successful does not mean his tribe is automatically successful or better than other people! Anyway, Dr. Osuji is one who has analysed you his people to a T!

ketoprofen: Wait, CyberG, Before i close my eyes and open it, letit be that u have deleted that long unfounded epistle.

what have yorubas done for this country
and what exactly did u just write about nollywood ?
which grp inthe country tops in education today? which particular yoruba is known for sth tangible worldwide, i mean a household name?

Do u really want me to give u a resounding response to that nonsense?

sounding apologetic is what u just did and it aint going to help ur lot either. Igbos have not even bragged enough to match what they should brag about. dont let me descend on u

Eko Ile:



You are going to be tolled because JB is funding the bridge and not the FG hence JB tolling you for decades to recoup their money..
