I weep for my dear country. Sincerely I wish things are different here in Nigeria.
Imagine to build an ordinary bridge across a river has been so politicized to this extent while in countries you will see ten or fifteen bridges crossing a particular river in different dirrections. You will be on one bridge and you will see by your left and right numerous other bridges crossing the same river. While here in Nigeria the story is different for the past 30 or so years.

God is still on the throne.

Sloan:

Where is the money or did you keep money in the pocket of the government? Remember that the republican igbos build their infrastructure and not the government, hence a small government and low taxes >> low IGR! Except you collect money from the oil of Nigeria, you cannot build the bridge? Lagos just built a bridge about the length of the one you are crying for FG, don't you have state governments ni? I just want that bridge to drop into the Niger overnight (to reduce casualties).
govt build infrasture, we build buisness establishments. If bridges r allowed 2 be built by individuals n and any amount imposed without govt interference u wud hv seen uncountable numba of bridges crossing d Niger. 4 example, in housing, u cnt see all those nönesese houses u c in oda places hia in SE. D bridge in question connects SE and SE so FG must do it. If we had a soverign govt we wud hv made laws allowing individuals 2 build bridges, roads etc. Rememeba SE was d first 2 build a private university (MADONNA). Jst watch and see hw SE will be d 1st 2 hv stable power

The Niger Bridge, is it more than 2km? The bridges I stated here comebine is more than 15km in lenghth and most of them lies in swampy areas covering 42km ( Andon-Opobo axis plus sand filling 30km) Including Okrika. Is more than the budget of your Niger Bridge.

Enough said.

Do you know how high the bridge is? Not to talk of the traffic it takes daily

I would like most people criticizing Igbos and accusing them falsely are themselves tribal jingoists. It is only when it comes to Igbos that the negative voices are taken serious. I'm an Igbo man and I've always supported progressive ideology even though I belong to no political party. I'm the hardest core supporter of Amaechi and Rochas right from when they were in APGA and PDP till this day they've found themselves in APC.

Rochas is the only Igbo leader that can think about Igbos working together to build that bridge and not beg but he's been attacked by his fellow Igbos like Peter Obi and. Theodore Orji just because of jealousy that he's more likeable than them. If Ngige wasn't rigged out in this last election, people would have seen what its like when 2 brothers co-operate to achieve. Rochas has already built like 5 short bridges in Owerri alone that I've seen. 4 across Nworie river and one across Otamiri river.

Tony Spike:

I think something is wrong somewhere. I don't think the Asaba-Onitsha link bridge should be even up to 3 km. I have google map layouts of the Ikoyi-Lekki link bridge and the current Asaba-Onitsha link bridge. Infact, I am posting them right-away below this comment. These two bridges are approximately 1.3 km in length. If we should add the peripheral roads linking these bridges, then we could say they are around 4 km or so in length.

That said, the FG needs to show us the design layout for the proposed Asaba-Onitsha bridge that brings the total span to 12.4 km. I need to be convinced...

Tony be careful!!!

Why do you want to spoil some people's market using science and stuff?

It is an approximation + or - a few metres!

Again, Be careful!!

In fact, we want them to hand it over for proper care and maintenance just like we snatched Ikorodu road way from their incompetent hands, Badagry express is another good example. We don't sit around and cry and beg like destitutes for handouts.

Saying you are not going to lift a finger even if your own people perish on that bridge says alot about you people and your inhumane and anti social ways...

Badagry exp-way? I laugh in Swahili,that road has since become a burden to Lagosians.

Bro.I wonder from where they intend to start the bridge from that made it 12.4km. The present bridge is less than 3km and the second crossing on the river niger at patani in delta state is equally less than 3km. 12.4km for 2NB hmmmmmmmm. Maybe the bridge head will start from Agbor and not Asaba again.

I strongly disagree. Who needs the bridge the most??

That's right, "The people".

Anambra and Delta (which is a rich state) can team up to fund its construction.

It should be Tolled upon its completion and both states can share the revenue generated.

This way, it will generate revenue for both states till kingdom come.

My point is, if u say its a se-ss bridge, everybody knows d igbos are benefitting more from that bridge hence theyhave been the ones crying for bridge so it is impossible for a ss state to partner wiv the se to build that bridge. What are their people really benefitting from that bridge? How many of theirpeople are outside their zone? I just think if the s.e. Governors have their people in mind, they should close theireyes and just do it! Perhaps toll it to! Waiting for government is a long thing!

1. This is about your crumbling and falling apart village bridge and not Lagos state or Fashola

2. Lagosians are not facing any imminent danger or about to fall off 3MB like your own people back in your village.

3. 3MB just got shot down and maintained unlike your crumbling village bridge.

4. We'll build our own bridge before begging anybody for 30 years like you beggars.

5. Are we begging anybody for 4thMB which groundwork is progressing as we speak? No

6. We did we beg the FG for 30 years for Ikoyi link bridge and the other ones Fashola built, no we did not

7. You are not saying anything because we know how to snatch FG infrastructures away from them and do our own upgrade and maintenance unlike you 30 years begging people.

8. We snatched Ikorodu road and it's undergoing reconstruction and upgrade as we speak.

9. We snatched Badagry EXPRESS and it's set to be the best road in Nigeria @ 10 lanes with metro rail and BRT access, something your generation including the next 10 generations can not duplicate.

You can huff and puff as much as you want, but the joke is still on you because you still don't have a little bridge even after 30 years of begging, Your people are the ones in danger and not Lagosians.

So why didnt you snatch Lagos/Ibadan expressway? Thousands of Lagosians are dying in the Lagos Ibadan expressway, No death has been recorded on Niger bridge yet. Why can't Fashola invest a little of his over 800 billion naira loan to fix that road or even partner with Ibadan governor instead of this crying to Jonathan everyday for neglecting the SW. smh.

If Rotimi Amaechi could dare the FG to leave the construction of the East-West road to the SS governors since they were not making any progress, I see no reason why the SE governors can't construct a second niger bridge, even if it means asking the FG to pay after the construction.
