The collapse of the Ikem bridge, which is at Ebonyi River in Isi-Uzo local government area of Enugu state, has caused untold hardship for commuters in communities within Enugu, Benue and Ebonyi states, with some people having to actually swim in order to get to their destinations.
The hanging bridge, built by the Nigeria army shortly after the civil​ war, finally caved in when a Dangote truck carrying 900 bags of cement tried to pass through...

Many communities in Enugu, Ebonyi, Benue have been cut off & Commuters traveling from Ehamufu to Enugu now terminate their journeys at different ends of the river and swim across to continue their journey.

Wch sensible driver will drive a heavy duty truck across a bridge that has already given sign of collapse. All these Dangote drivers sef...

Baba Go slow.........

abi cheap cheap contractors fast fast promblems

Hmmmm... The contractor should be fished out and given necessary sanctions.

the problem about south east is our governors, they are just shallow minded nd selfish, everyone of them waiting for the Federal Govt.

Such a commercial bridge nd the state governments cant come together nd fix it, i proudly support Biafra but we have got a long way to go in the East..

A man who is marginalised goes the extra mile to make sure his future is bright, provides what he needs to stand out but the South East governors re just Cretins...

stupidity

45 tonnes chisos

hmm,when govt is yet to repair dilapidated ones.zero maintainance culture
maybe dangote could help seeing DAT his truck did the final damage.

MAY GOD HELP US OUT IN DIS COUNTRY.VERY BAD

May God deliver us

noted i will do somtin abt it

Swimming pool things

Most of the infrastructure we enjoy in this country today where done during the military Era. Check the bridges, the road networks, dams, refineries all where constructed under military rule and politicians will have us believe that the military did more harm than good.....what is most disheartening is the level of mediocrity among the populace and politicians are seriously cashing in on it. That's why they share bags of rice, garri etc with their faces on it, we hail them. They construct a 5km road that won't even last 6 months before pot holes start springing up and you'll see heavy road launching ceremony with women wearing political "Aso Ebi" dancing under the sun and they go home with the 5k thank you for coming envelope at d end of the day for songs rendered in honour of thieving politicians. Wonder what the way forward is for my dear country....

Na dangote naa.

Make him sharp sharp go repair the bridge naa.

I am sure it will cost him close to nothing.

As na him truck do the damage naa

They have been doing it for long only this time the bridge finally gave in. Dagote would build a new one, It would greatly aid his business. Imagine 900 bags coming in every day? That's like a million naira worth of cements.

Lekwanu cementi ohh!

Biafra will fix it!

People will blame PMB for this!

Truck drivers should just stick to the express way.
Thats how they have messed up the newly refurbished eungu-awka road

hopeless country.stagnant since 1960

Hmmm wahala

Dangote build new one. U b rich man. Govt also do d needful. With all d billions

gbam

Dangote is a philantropist. He would build a new bridge for them...

Dangote should use his cement and put up another bridge ASAP!

U see? I dont hate the south but i have to be me when its necessary
Cc: genbloodykiller

Let dangote build a new bridge or he goes to jail

Very sure the bridge will have been showing signs before its final collapse. Loss of bridge, loss loss of travel time, loss of money, loss of cement

I believe this bridge has stayed close to 50 yrs so let's leave the contractors out of this, Dangote and the Federal Government should work together and do something about this ASAP.

swimming things activated for commuters sha .is a pity how ignoramus some truck drivers are.....dangote shld do something abt d bridge at least he can afford to assist in reconstruction of it, since it is his money dat is crossing d bridge wen it occur

....

Homeland in shambles while poking big noses in Yoruba affairs.. ..Ambode's should have fixed the bridge for them.

trouble...
