Its pathetic to see what has happened to this community. Do the children have to cross this bridge to get to school or market?

A part of this bridge story is sad, plenty of it is amusing and the rest is just plain ignorance.

To my Ibo brothers, please, please, stop branding yourself industrious; you are not. Follow this link and see what industry is about.



This is what Yorubas have done for over 40yrs, they dont wait for useless govt. What you see in this linked story, this is industry! This is the story all over Yorubaland where such bridges exist for commuter transit.

This bridge in Mr Mpuke's village has brought out some hard lessons.

1. When you hear that bridges are tolled in Yorubaland, now you know why; respect it!

2. If the bridge was tolled, the danger of the cement truck weight would have been spotted and he would be diverted elsewhere.

3. A percentage of the toll goes towards repair and upgrade as well salary for the operations staff. This is called self-funded project. Tolling the bridge also create reserves from which the community can draw for small scale self-development and not be totally dependent on LG money. This revenue self-generation is what we call IGR, a popular concept in West.

4. How does Mr Mkupe know who is entering their communities? The toll point also serve as a sentry post for sharing information and collecting news about other nearby communities as well strangers in transit.

To wrap up, we have people in Yorubaland that are specialized in this venture and would be more than happy to serve as consultants and get this village started on a proper footing; and by extension teach Iboland how to be industrious. cheesy

We are talking of building brand new bridges, u are talking about towing a dilapidated one.
Which if ur states have been developed from bridge money.
Definitely not ur regional capital,Ibadan which is the biggest slum in WA.
Who knows how ur interior villages look like.

Your comment is an example is where this no let up for Ibos in Nigeria, even when they have been beaten down! Which slums are in Ibadan that there are no WORSE in Iboland? If you show pictures of ancient buildings, guess what? We are SO PROUD OF IT! It shows you when we say that Yorubaland was civilized and already building habitable structures since the 1400s (as far as contemporary history has recorded), we are not bluffing. Those buildings were built at least in the 1600s - 1700s, maybe some 1800s. Can you show me any houses in Iboland built in the 1600s? No, because at that time Ibos still lived on trees, eating leaves and themselves for food. FACT! (Please let no useless person tell me nonsense about this pungent issue)

Tell them o, tell them well! The yansh of the Ibo will be opened wide the day Nigeria splits or becomes re-arranged either peacefully or otherwise! The humiliation of millions of Ibos heading on a one way ticket to their land is enough humiliation that will never be forgotten! It shall be said, how are the most hardworking people of the planet turned away to their desolate homeland all in one day??

I can say unequivocally that tribalism is better than censorship. It is beyond the pale of enlightenment that a goon should tamper with or destroy the mental property of another person all in idiotic pretense. In USA, people still feel free to discuss the ancestral differences of the people of USA regardless the crudity of the language.

How ignorant and dullard of you to think we are ashamed of our past and historical advancement?

When you post such pictures, you just highlight our advancement and great sense of preservation which we are very very happy to claim.


Funny enough when we built those, you people domiciled in caves and huts and this is what you expose every time you post that pic...


The joke is always on you jokers...

hahahaha.
my friend, they don't build cement houses in the 1600s in Nigeria.
Don't cover the ineptitude of your govt who has poor wealth distribution abilities.
They loot ur resources to build better houses and they leave u in the slums.
This is supposes to be ur regional capital city and its just slums everywhere, riddled with poverty.
If those buildings were built in 1600, show me the ones built in the modern era or are u just stuck in the 1600 civilization.
No Yoruba I have met in real life is proud of Ibadan esp.
So, what exactly did u spend decades to build?
Are Zaria, Kaduna, kano, Lagos, Benin not ancient cities?
Come off that ur poverty driven post biko,
... Ibadan is the largest slum in west Africa, the largest slums in Lagos are inhabited by yorubas too.

No sir.
The joke is rather on u.
For the fact that easterners started building cities rather late but the finest cities in the south are in both SE and SS.

And u built slums.
Ur wealth distribution is Like what u have in societies with few elites and populous destitutes.
How many fasholas, politicians and oil thief live in those slums?
Where is the evidence of the heritage?
Y is omo onile, and govt sponsored toutship growing strength to strength in Yoruba land?
So much for progressive govt!

The village where the bridge collapsed, is actually next to the village of the most redundant deputy gov in history, mr sunday onyebuchi of nara in enugu. The road that leads to his village is a death trap. Political lesson no 1 , better to be a lga chairman than a deputy spare tyre governor
