N300m Bridge Collapses In Enugu

Unbelieveable,  I hope the government probes this and really punishes the perpertuators for a long time.

Na wa o! when would we stop cutting corners in this naija?!

Absolutely. building a replacement for free is not adequate the culprits should be punished as a deterrent to others.

If na Alams award the contract now, and de thing come break yakata like this one, them go say na Naija Delta people with their wahala.

We they watch una.

Julius Berger dey build bridge je-je, Nigerians say no them must give local engineering firm.

Julius Berger has seen the best roads all over the world. The best roads these local construction firms have seen are the best in Nigeria built by Julius Berger. Then some people will say building bridge is like planting maize.

Anyway, I have said it. Once I enter government, foreign ministers, foreign companies, I say even foreign traditional rulers.

Only those Nigerians like Emeagwali that have gone proven themselves in the world stage can have a say in this country. Mediocrity based on catchement area must stop. It must stop for us to move forward.

Somebody has to spend a long time in jail, and somebody else has to be sacked from the Standards organization of Nigeria.

The government should recover the money, even if it means liquidating the company. But still someone has to go to jail.

And someone has to lose their job at SON.

All these people setting up construction companies should first pass through a 3 year course at Julius Berger before their company can be licensed.

@rookie

you have not seen anything yet. Any job opportunity will be awarded to the most experienced and qualified applicant. If at all an Indian spiritualist proves himself more efficient, I will sack a local Ifa Priest and give him the job!

This is further proof that you really are a very ignorant individual sorry to say. Where did Emeagwali prove himself and which world stage? The world you created for yourself?
Learn to research before flying to appear smart, here is one more example.

Some kain mumu people dey look for attention.

Bridges,buildings collapsing like no mans business.
I hope no one was hurt.
all those theoretical Engineers we have in Nigeria coupled with our culture of cutting corners.

They need to clearly mark the bridges built by local engineers with neon signs
so that those of us who are not ready yet to meet our maker will make a U turn and find an alternate route.

Why would nairaland not allow me to write U turn with the alphabet "u"?

It's a good reason to apply the firing squad.

Though I don't support the death penalty, sqandering public finances by highly placed officials seems to be a good reason to execute somebody, just like in China.

u don't expect the locals engineers to be good all of a sudden do you. however there is more to this than meets the eye, i doubt all that money was used.

well since they have the money, let them spend it now abi.

maybe it was a test bridge to test congestion, the real one is yet to be built abi why would a six month old bridge collapse and the coloniial wooden bridge in my friends fathers village still stands after so many years?
lets see what Yaradua would do about it.
ps: anyone noticed tha Musa looks like bugzy siegel? at least the black version
