Of Second Niger Bridge, Facts And Lies(?) by Mynd44: 4:43pm On Jan 29, 2015 |
In March last year, Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan laid the foundation for the construction of the second Niger Bridge. Judging from the traffic registered on the first Niger Bridge, the second bridge has become something the Nation has been clamoring for a long while as traffic gridlock on the first bridge has become nightmarish. The first bridge was not meant to take the volume of traffic it has had to service and people have been concerned, so when the construction was kicked off a lot of Nigerians were glad as from the plans of the would be six-lane bridge, it would really save a lot of stress, downtime lost due to traffic and it will take a lot of load off the first Niger bridge but a lot of issues have cropped up about the bridge and has to be addressed.

2nd Niger bridge election promise in 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015. Am sure even in 1993 it was an election promise. I have said it before unless Anambra state comes up and build that bridge then its a long thing 6 Likes |

[size=15pt]President Goodluck Jonathan has promised to go on exile if he fails to build the Second Niger Bridge before completing his term in 2015.[/size] The Nigerian leader made the promise in his remarks at a Town Hall Meeting held yesterday in the commercial city of Onitsha as part of activities marking his one-day visit to Anambra State. During the visit, Jonathan commissioned several projects, including the oil production facilities of Orient Petroleum at Aguleri, the massive SABMiller Brewery at Onitsha and the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu Gateway in Onitsha Speaking yesterday at the Town Hall Meeting, the Nigerian leader said that “when the first bridge was built, it was during the presidency of Nnamdi Azikiwe; the second Niger bridge will be built under the presidency of Azikiwe Jonathan.” [size=14pt]To further reassure the people, the President said he would go on exile on the completion of his term if he does not build the bridge.[/size] http://www.newsexpressngr.com/news/detail.php?news=234 4 Likes |

How did the approved cost of the project jump to 133 billion from 118 billion Naira? Where did the approximately 15Billion difference come from? Is there something we are not being told? The 15billion you talking about has gone to election engineering and blackmailing of GMB The funds they source could not cover all expenses so they have to find some crooked way to get funds and this one of they ways I hope the johnaTANs can come over and tell you were the funds and disparities comes from Remember........ Stealing is no corruption I can't laugh oooooo 10 Likes |

PhockPhockMan: In this administration, due to our collective admiration and unparalleled support for the amiable Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, we Igbos are not being used as political tools anymore, instead we are being used as political slaves and doormats. Unlike the slavery we endured under all other Nigerians administrations in the past, we seem to be taking the exploitation of the present government with a huge smile on our faces. I cant point out a single federal road which has been fixed by the present administration in the SE. The most disheartening aspect is that Igbos actually go around and deceive fellow Igbos that GEJ has fixed several roads and even constructed a 2nd Niger Bridge. If I ask you to mention one road fixed by GEJ you will quickly mention the onitsha-owerri road which was completed to 95% before GEJ's reign. How sad! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPy0c7tP4Vk 6 Likes |

obailala:You and the OP should have told us the exact level past government's kept the promise of giving Ndigbo the second Niger Bridge instead of this trash. whether GEJ is shortchanging Igbos by not commissioning the mega bridge after less than ten months after flag off is not my concern since others before him, including Buhari never got it thought.

If it is Mynd44, then it is worth reading... Really unfortunate and indeed shameful we are being robbed in broad day light yet due to the sheer greed of our so called leaders who are bent on ensuring the cookie jar isn't rattled, they keep mum and sometimes even deliberately enhance these robberies! If we cannot rise above primordial prejudices where we believe it is inconceivable that "our neighbor can never do us more good than our brother" then we might as well kiss any chance of our collective emancipation goodbye. Too many questions abound in the second Niger Bridge project, few off which the op highlights. It is left to us to seek answers to these questions and not have them trivialised and eventually forgotten just like the other important issues before it. God help us. Ps: Mynd44, you would be wasting your time expecting a reasonable argument or debate from these guys. The only one among them who bore the slightest semblance to an intelligent person, Datolee, has already deactivated his account. 4 Likes |

The OP is being careful not to comment carelessly, because the last time he/she was dancing around when an ignorant poster claimed work had been halted, someone came and uploaded current pics. of work being on-going and it was really funny when /how the OP tucked his tail/folded her thing between legs and scampered off lol.... This bridge has has seen more progress in GEJ's years than any other president. I will give GEJ my support for work to continue. 4 Likes |
