A social media user has raised an alarm about the imminent collapse of a bridge on the Aleto axis of the East-West road in Rivers State.

The bridge leads to Eleme - the location of an NNPC refinery and the Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited (IEPL).

According to the social media user who goes by the handle @HWokocha, the bridge is in danger of caving in due to the stationary vehicular weight it handles due to traffic gridlocks.

Such bridges, by their design, are constructed to carry moving loads within a second. They are not built to retain loads for a prolonged period.

Recall that some days ago, a bridge collapsed at the campus of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi. The collapsed bridge reportedly claimed the lives of four students.

Something must be done immediately before the impending loss of life stirring at us.

Unfortunately we are in a reactive clime, not proactive. The day it will collapse, may it not cost human life.

One problem with we black Africans is that we hate to take precautionary measures unless life(ves) is lost and we will be quick to type RIPs and the government will react.



In our very own Anambra state, people has been complaining, crying, wailing and lamenting about onitsha owerri road but, the state government choose to be adamant. Last week, a trailer carrying good fellow on a tricycle and kill some occupants while some was badly injured. The funniest part of it is that up-to this very moment that I'm typing this, that road is still as it is.

And start shouting, " it is the will of God" when it could have been avoided

Though Nigeria calls out everyday, our leaders are not willing to obey to serve our fatherland, with strength and faith.

After they will tell us the static load was too much for it.. bla bla yen yen yen

Just like the very bad portions of the East West Road between Tank (Rumuokwurusi) and Rumudara Junction have claimed 2 lives this week alone - a taxi driver and food vendor dispatch rider

I have always wondered about this road for many years now!

I was actually thinking the road will be fixed when Patience Jonathan, then the first lady of Nigeria, lost her mother and the burial was held in her home town of Okrika. But instead of fix the road, they poured chippings on it and she flew into the village with helicopter.

It is a pity that we are where we are today, because the truth is, the average Nigerian has a common fatal flaw!
