So Pdp did not make Alaigbo Eldorado for more than 20years of slaving..

Damn! What exactly did Pdp now do for SE as a whole?

Ohh less I forget, they were giving SE senate presidency ticket back to back grin

Close that dirty teeth you are shining. We are holding the government accountable not minding whether it is Pdp or Sdp or even Apc.

If the Federal Government cannot maintain or reconstruct any of their existing infrastructure in the East, why not allow the East reduce their remittance to the federal government and use that money to work on all infrastructure in the East? Most of the horrible infrastructure projects in the East are federal government infrastructure. undecided

LOL, which remittance to the FG? Aren't all states going to Abuja to collect allocation?

The question i ask myself since umahi started inspecting federal roads is what did pmb achieve in terms of road construction with all the reckless borrowings? I thought it was only Edo state that had terrible federal roads until umahi started going round.I think we need to pass a legislation that from henceforth, minister of works must be civil and construction engineer with more than 10 years practice experience.

In looking for what to sing about that reckless government and justify the economic calamity brought upon this country by financial recklessness of unprecedented order, fans and fanatics alike claimed 'infrastructure' to be the root, branch and fruit of it all.

Every passing day this is proven to be no more than smoke and mirrors.
Endless borrowings, Abacha loot, and tax/tariff rises throughput the regime yet.......

I hope there is alternative roads for people to move, otherwise we should all conttribute money and build our roads and chase the tax collectors with guns and cutlasses when they come.

Seems we do not need a Government

That's the bridge at the place Hausa people sell foodstuffs and livestock, before Hariz filling station.

That road and bridge was constructed between 1978 and 1979, and typically of Nigeria's federal government, nobody would care to inspect the bridge for any damages until it comes to this present situation.

God bless you and thank you for digging deep into the years of the Bridge and the information,bro.
-The same for many Roads :-
e g The Ikorodu Agbowa-Ejirin Road -was built around 70& 80s but is now a Shadow of itself!

May attach a video
Road and bridge collapse is a state of emergency in SE.

Regionally governors and state ministry of works need to meet and regulate how bridges are built. What's the point of being a federation if states can't work on what is in their region/state.

It's already a known erosion prone area.
C'mon this is 2023 construction has solutions for this.
Politics should not come into what provides economic benefit for millions.
Re: Bridge Collapses On Enugu - Port Harcourt Express Road by Taal17: 11:05pm On Sep 25, 2023
Where were the alarm bells
What were ministry folk doing
The tech colleges in the east,
COREN, geologists

Newspapers,news outlets letting people know bridges that were inevitably going to collapse

Easterners always playing the victim. Is there any part of Nigeria not experiencing infrastructural decay. Have you gone to edo state. Travel from edo to abuja. Have u gone to east west road. From warri to akwa ibom. What are you people contributing to the federal purse compared to all these areas. Its a Nigerian problem. Stop making it look like the east is always second class to others.

Our infrastructural deficit is huge so it will take a deliberate effort and money to have a semblance of good infrastructure.
And our maintenance culture is BAD

Must you bring ethinic propaganda to this

He is just describing the location of the collapsed bridge which is correct by what he wrote. There is no ethnic propaganda or sentiment.
The problem here is your mindset.

Better to even allow the east have a different country. The east is a small space and we can easily maintain our infrastructure by ourselves if we have our own country.

That one is your problem. If you are comfortable with rubbish in Edo and Abuja, we are not comfortable with that in the East so keep your mediocrity to yourself.

so what happened to state government

So it is normal for the federal government to build the Lagos - Ibadan expressway, the federal roads in the Niger state, the ones between Abuja and Kaduna and even add rail lines like the Lagos - Ibadan - Kano rail, Abuja to Kaduna rail but it becomes the work of the state government to build the federal infrastructure once it concerns the East abi undecided
