Pure fallacy and lies meant to deceive the gullible.

This bridge has a 2017 completion date, govt of GEJ had paid over 75% of its counterpart fund for it, Buhari came in 2015 and abandoned it for 3yrs after giving a stop work order. Only to come in 2018, 1yr to the elections to start pasting pictures of extent of work done under GEJ as work in progress on the 2nd Niger bridge.



Who knows how much has been released so far for the bridge by Buhari, only ₦2 billion for a ₦117 billion project.


APC and their supporters are a congregation of unrepentant liars.

authority2006:


Jonathan has paid over 75% of its counterpart fund but Buhari just released 2 billion naira for a 117 billion naira project, the same project. You need to check your head.

President Goodluck Jonathan said the Federal Government has spent N10 billion on construction of the 2nd Niger Bridge out of the N130 billion total cost of the project.

It's a political propaganda and if Buhari likes, let him build bridges in all the big rivers in Nigeria; he'll be defeated and sent back to Daura.

The 11.9Km 2NB hydra-headed conundrum, will it ever end? Time shall tell.

First it isn't an igbo project, but Nigerian project, it gonna affect the socio-economic developmental fabrics of the whole country and beyond in the sub region,
We are running on a very huge gap of infrastructural deficit in ratio to our explosive population growth, it would be penny wise pound foolish to politicize critical infrastructures such as this.

If Nigeria was on right track since the proported inception of 3Rs at the end of the Civil War, then today we should be discussing 3rd/4th niger bridge. This is one of the pertinent reasons calls for dismemberment is being regurgitated till this day.

There have been too many miscalculations taken by past successive governments, as they chased investors in the oil and gas sector, telecoms, etc, they never deemed it fit to beam their search light on investors that will bring private capital into road infrastructure and we are suffering it today,


Another dimension, is the issue of policy somersault, and discontinuity,
Tolling or no tolling, we need to see things for the realities they pose in our faces without primordial sentiments, if we settle for tolling, then uniform tolling it should be for all projects of such magnitude henceforth, and not having unequal system.
Today government comes in begins a ppp with its conditions, another comes in and overhauls it all over, and the circle continues, there is scarce of resources, but due prudence, management prioritization would have done us a whole lot of good,

Now there comes the issue fluctuating exchange rates,
The more inflation and exchange rate fluctuates, the more the ppp arrangements price tag fluctuates.
Which would lead to constant renegotiation of the cost for execution. Like the controversial flexibility of deeping fingers in the ECA,

Another angle to this debacle,is default and disloyalty on government's part to stay true to the contractual terms by ensuring it makes true her commitment to paying the agreed counterpart funds for the execution of the project. Contractor gets discouraged and dismayed by government's inability to contractual fidelity, Here comes the depropriation of infra-funds, snail speed passage of budget etc

Another headache is compensation, there were insinuations, land owners weren't dully compensated, and this usually snowballs into legal battles.

Today some states are still indebted by the federal government, hence they regretting why they took loans to embark on federal projects without being reimbursed. And our poor structures has overburdened the lackadaisical federal government with bloated responsibilities,they now seem incapable of handling which gives the credence to the question of restructuring being overdue.

Finally, the only way forward is forward, whether the present government re-emerge or not, the project got to move on.Time is money and we already late .

Politics no be everything, make we no dey politicize national security and infrastructure, because we dey hurt ourselves by ourselves and our unborn generation.

Happy Sunday you'll.

mybestlove:

Please I disagree with you. It is an Igbo project. Yes because if we're going to pay tolls on the bridge, it means we are refunding the cost of constructing it.

Why would a federal government build a bridge and ask us to pay tolls?

deomelllo:



That was actually 16 years of PDP and all the administrations before them so if you are going to compare, give PMB 16 years and the same funds/hundreds of billions of dollars available to them before coming up with your baseless, illogical and upside down comparison.



Work is ongoing in less than 3 years on a bridge that 16 years of PDP and decades of previous administrations couldn't build and this one is cooing up with meaningless and upside down comparison.

Hatred, bitterness and bigotry don consume your brain.

These Igbos and their ignorant and mediocre mentality sef.

deomelllo:








You mean N10 billion is 70% of N130 billion?


Igbos and lies are like brothers and sisters..

ekanDamie:

Dont be stupid my friend. U keep shouting, bigotry,ipob and dos stupid things u guys say to make urself smart.
I wasnt making comparisons of whose tenure is/would be better. Weda u like it or not they will all fail to solve ur problems,
Dey are not God. EOD

₦18.4 billion out ₦30 billion counterpart funding had been committed with ₦10 billion disbursed as at last quarter of 2014.

https://guardian.ng/opinion/the-second-niger-bridge-facts-and-figures/

Cure your ignorance.

deomelllo:



You said jona provided 70% counterpart funding for the bridge and I showed you proof where jona admitted that he spent only N10 billion, now, you posted your own proof that supported my facts that Jona spent only N10 billion on the bridge.

Are you clueless, drunk or just eternally confused by proving my point for me?

I was actually expecting you to prove to us that the N10 billion Jona spent is 75% of N130 billion.


More lies and deception can not wash away your ignorance.

luvinhubby:


If you don't know ask, we will help with prescription to cure your ignorance.

famosh:

Stop deluding yourselves! They didn't need your votes in 2015 and they still WON'T need your votes in 2019! They're only doing what should be done!

kitaatita:

Unfortunately the same mentality is shared by SE politicians and so called leaders. They are already angry that a bridge is being built across their land by their enemy. They forget the most important questions that remain unanswered. Why is the bridge the only FG project to be on toll? And who are the beneficiaries of the toll? Why is the cost of the bridge higher than such projects anywhere?

deomelllo:




Long story short, worthless Jona spent only N10 billion on that bridge and you still can not tell us how N10 billion = 75% of N130 billion.



Your ipob village square teachers didn't teach you basic Arithmetic or they did but failed because you
are dull, ignorant and unintelligent to grasp the concept

CoolAmbience:



Keep your vote to yourself...that's not a problem.

People who want to see a revamp of infrastructures in the country, return of probity, food sufficiency, job opportunities, improved security etc, will do the needful.
