Don't ruin this beautiful thread bro.

It's too early to be drunk. This is just 5am.
Asking for clarification is akin to drunkenness?
You probably should go get checked.

But isn't it Tinubu that built the bridge since he is the one that built Lagos and is the architect of modern Lagos?

How come he wasn't mentioned in the discussion?

Offpoint. You haven't answered my questions.

1. But isn't it Tinubu that built the bridge since he is the one that built Lagos and is the architect of modern Lagos?

2. How come he wasn't mentioned in the discussion?

There is no Nigerian family that doesn't have at least someone living in Lagos. All because of what the federal government of Nigeria has so heavily invested in Lagos.

The FG made Lagos, the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria and West Africa at Large. The biggest infrastructures in Nigeria is situated in Lagos. Anyone noticed the skyscrapers already donning the skies of Lagos during the first inaguration by Shagari? Way back when Nigeria was just twenty years old o..

Yet they will say Tinubu made Lagos?
How?
Where?
When?

There’s a proposal for that already.
They were supposed to start the project after the Lagos rail line
I've been hearing about the start of this project since 2017 or so.

Ambode promise to start the project, Sanwo olu also promise, we will see if he will start the project or not

That was how we then introduced the Development Levy, it was for the Third Mainland Project mainly. That was when Gani Fawehinmi took me to court. I was not bothered because I knew we were doing something that will benefit majority of Lagosians.



They were still complaining. I just kept quiet, I went to the Army Engineers, I think Ihejerika was in charge of the Army Engineers, I told them I want that place cleared for the road in 24 hours. I told them that they should clear everything on the path of the bridge on the weekend, so that they cannot go to court and stop us


This is a man after my heart. Do what is necessary, take me to court later. As long as my intentions are good, your opinions be damned.

Brigadier Raji Alagbe Rasaki was military governor of Lagos State from July 1988 till January 1992.

@naptu2 thank you for your very educative threads. You are a constant reminder of what Nairaland used to be.

...that is the difference between the civilian and military government. We do not care about re-election, we just get the job done.


This is the big takeaway from what he said. Today it's from one beaurocratic bottleneck/lawsuits to another before a project achieves completion!

The conception and construction of the Third Mainland Bridge (videos, photos and memories).

The Third Mainland Bridge is the longest of the three road bridges that connect Lagos Island with the Mainland. It was the longest bridge in Africa from 1990 till 1996 when the 6th October Bridge located in Cairo was completed.

This thread features accounts by the governors who were at the heart of the conception and construction of the bridge, videos of the commissioning of the first and second phases of the bridge and the renaming of a part of the bridge and memories of the situation in Lagos when the bridge was under construction.

Its a big fat lie, Tinubu built Lagos - Agbadorian grin grin grin

"They were still complaining. I just kept quiet, I went to the Army Engineers, I think Ihejerika was in charge of the Army Engineers, I told them I want that place cleared for the road in 24 hours. I told them that they should clear everything on the path of the bridge on the weekend, so that they cannot go to court and stop us. Fadayomi was my Commissioner of Justice and Baba (Teslim) Elias was with us, I also went to Rotimi Williams, they said start the operation by Friday and before they can go to court on Monday, you have completed your operation. I loved that idea."

Cartel M.O has been in governance longtime....even lawyers aid in exploiting the loopholes and circumventing the system....see advice straight from hell nau grin

Moral of this story is that atimes it takes strongmen with sprinkling of inner evil to get things done.

Tinubu and his gang would have use 50 years to construct this and it won't have lasted 10years before collapsing.


Politicians are bunch of indisciplined theives.
