Inferior bridge, if investigation is carried out you will discover that millions of Naira was budgeted to build the bridge and the authorities swallowed all and used zinc and aluminium to construct that death trap

Darkseid:
No I'm not

Then how did you know the exact time it happened?

But ATBU Vice-Chancellor, Muhammad Abdullazeez, who conventional Bauchi official head Bala Mohammed, who rewarded him a concern outing on Wednesday, held they shortly establish out that three students died.

badman007:


Slave mentality syndrome is high in your case. People are humans, not caged animals. It is the responsibility of the VC and authorities to make the bridge safe, meeting all health and safety standards. With hazard and Warning signs in and around the place.
Probe the weak infrastructure in a university environment instead. What are those engineers good for?

Can this be journalism or junknalism?

tundemania:
The Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, has denied it is searching for missing students after the collapse of a bridge in the school reportedly claimed the lives of four students.

A metallic bridge linking the hostels and lecture halls collapsed at about 11.45pm on Monday following a downpour which caused flooding in the school. Seven students were reportedly injured, with some missing.

But ATBU Vice-Chancellor, Muhammad Abdullazeez, who conventional Bauchi official head Bala Mohammed, who rewarded him a concern outing on Wednesday, held they shortly establish out that three students died.

He said, “The management felt that it was necessary to construct a metal bridge for between 10 and 15 people at a time. It was not meant for static loads but for dynamic loads, that means, you don’t stand on it, you just pass.

The reports we received from some of the students were that when the rain had stopped and the students were about crossing, they found the scene excellent for them to take selfies.

So they started from two and before you could realise it, there were more than 30 students on the bridge standing, and that bridge was not meant for people to stand.

Some of the students could not pass and had to also stand, and the bridge suddenly collapsed and that was how we lost three students. As of today we don’t have any student missing.

Based on our records, no student is missing for now. Three students –two from Kogi State and one from Benue State – were confirmed dead. Two females and a male and they were all from the department of business education and management studies.

Abdullazeez said they had set up a committee to investigate the incident.

He thanked the state government and the security agencies for their intervention.

The governor commiserated with the families of the deceased, the school authorities and students over the incident.

Mohammed said the visit was to assess the areas that required urgent attention, pledging that the state government would fix the collapsed bridge.

What kind of story is this? How are leaders so foolish even right from the universities where they claim to impact knowledge? Why not tell us the amount of money looted in the cause of building a fake bridge? Even bridges built with woods allow people to walk and stand without fear of collapsing. Parents must sue the stupid university over this very wicked and careless act.

Something is not adding up. Why would students choose to take a selfie at that odd hour and at that location that is not even beautiful
Both the VC, the engineers are as incompetent as NIMC!!

Is giving full details of the event now a crime or why the wailing?

Mightyhaiz:
What does it matter what they were doing on the bridge,..? Taking pictures on a bridge is now a taboo? Was there a signpost against taking pictures on the bridge?

Even experts need it. It’s called health and safety. You don’t have to Be rude to my mum. You’d improve in life if you open your mind to learning. Empty vessels make the loudest noise.

I was expect 15 pictures but alas you only showed 3-5, you cannot backup your claims with their names? RIP to the dead. Let’s stop this habit of wailing.

dis VC is crazy...Selfie in the night? .. in dat Forrest, oh please.. let him go and fine another excuse.. this useless people and the media keep hiding the number of people die.. we talking more than15 people they keep saying 3 to 5 people..Nigeria my country

What is this flimsy contraption?

Forget 30 students taking selfies!

That 'bridge" has no foundations!

may their souls rest in perfect peace.Amen

Government that responds when the worst has happened

zzzzz

They paid for the full bridge and they built the one that'd carry only 15 people, looters

Irani WO leleyi nso?

You would say all these if your relative died in that avoidable death abi.

Now you’re just being irrational.

Every structure has a maximum load it can carry. If it is loaded with more than that it will fail/collapse.

That is all the guy said. I guess you didn’t understand that’s why you lashed out at him.

Example 1: No matter how sturdy your dining table at home is, it cannot carry the weight of an elephant. It doesn’t mean the table wasn’t well made. It just means the table was not made to carry that amount of load.

Lies! Who takes selfy at 11:30 pm. I wonder what magic they used

15 dead and counting
More missing
And all this Vc can do is continue lying
Imagine! saying students were taking selfies..

Dokimazo:
Its just pathetic the way our leaders lie just to absolves themselves of blames. until we are people willing to take responsibilities of faults; we have a long way to go.
Imagine the vice Chancellor politicising the event and the lives lost. Why didn't he speak on the absence of a single staff personnel in the school, not even a security personnel to assist, the delay in Ambulance response, the lack of medical aids and staff in the school clinic, the poor response to help Even when there is an Airforce base nearby and the fact that for a school that pride itself in engineering studies; that bridge was a failure to them. moreso the death toll is more than 3.
Blames doesn't change what has happened, but taking responsibility objectively creates platform for growth and development.

Zzzzzzz

I find this the most dumb, lame and spurious excuse ever given by any body.

fasho01:
People in position of authority in this country need refresher courses in public speaking

Exactly, this statement of his can make students go on rampage.

Very unnecessary statement, he should have just kept quiet, its insulting to the memory of the dead.

What a foolish idiot. Typical civil service employee. He is not even ashamed to say a university designed a bridge to support less then 3600kg (assuming those thirty students are all obese at 120kg) their bridge cannot hold 4 tonnes static load. Time for an investigation into who signed off on it. This chop money has hook. This is the direct result of corruption

Naijafull19:


How do you know it is a lie??

Were you there?? Do you work for the school or are you a student of the school??

Plus, my saying that does not let the old men off the hook. If in building the bridge they did not take into account that a large number of students could be on the bridge at one time...then blame whoever designed or built the bridge.

Why r u typing nonsense all over the thread.... Honestly people like u one shld only pray such evil befall ur kids so wen u go through such pain.... U Wil av sense

Someone post the bridge u saw it how can 30 people stand on u... Were u also dere.... Was the so called VC dere.... Or is it that u r paid to be saying shit all over the thread

VC said the find the place suitable for bridge suitable for selfies who snap selfie in a bus at 11pm...use ur sense.... Stop acting stupid all over the thread
Common
This is a life of 3 student lost VC saying nonsense to defend rushing n here we av another goat typing shit

I just wish karma give u ur own cup so wen u remember this day..... The sense u lack u wil get it then

Mayb u shld goan tel those shit u typed to their parent
Ode

Was this a recurring incident on the bridge? Was there a notice indicating the maximum threshold on the bridge? How do you design a bridge in a school where you know youths are bound to be curious, and not have room for excesses?

This only goes to show our insensitivity for human lives. The VC's statement sounds more to me like "come on, it's just 3 lives that were lost"

We need to start taking responsibility in this country, and know that there are consequent actions for every inaction.

No, it was just that the high number of students on the bridge at that time created a heavy load which caused the bridge to collapse.[/quote]

This is one of the reasons I don't feel bad when a politician loose their loved ones.studrnts taking selfies by 11 pm, I wish his own child died in the collapse too. No life is more important than the other.

I pray for you not to die like them and when your news is posted like theirs, we’ll blame your ghost too for your death. You don’t talk ill of a dead person, it’s called respect for the dead so you don’t die like them. Be wise. Don’t blame good people for their death!
