Delta State alone should be able to build it. They are an oil producing state collecting 13% derivatives , instead of them wasting money on that silly airport, they should have built a second Niger bridge and put a toll on it. They would have recouped the money spent back in less than 3 years if they are dedicated to d project,

Toaskarity: Common brigde! Are we this poor! Brigde a village here can pay and build a new one in weeks!! Shame on anambra state govt! Shame on the so called rich ppl in onitsha! Shame at the ppl of asaba and their govt!!!! Tufia!! Are ppl really waiting for fed govt to build a new one!
What's wrong in taking care of urself? Assuming no one else has brain inthat part of the country,lemme suggest one. Why not both state govt come together and build a new d brigde then tax any plate number that isn't from both state that uses the Bridge even the city of asab and onitsha can do this without any external help!! What exactly are the leaders in nigeria doing?? Do they just go to office,gossip and home??

I agree that the two states should be in charge of their destiny. They should look for money to handle it.

I always wondering why OBJ didn't do this kind of project.

THERE IS A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO ALLOW IT 2 FALL, BEFORE A NEW ONE IS CONSTRUCTED, I STILL WONDER HOW SHIPS WILL CROSS TO ONITSHA PORTS WITH THE POSITION OF THAT BRIDGE, KNOWING FULLY WELL THAT THE DESIGN IS NOT LIKE THE LONDON BRIDGE.....

coolted: AND OBJ COMMISSIONED 2ND NAIJA BRIDGE WITH NOTHING DONE.

^^^That man is a fraud! My blood boils when i think of how that man neglected the south east for the full 8 year duration of his presidency: no int'l airport; no river port; no fixing of Enugu-Onitsha road; no fixing of Enugu-Port Harcourt road; no nation building institutions; no world-class infrastructure; no industrial complex; nothing-nothing! We only started having some sense of belonging with the coming of Yar'adua, and it improved with the coming of GEJ after him.

After all that, did SE not survive? Whom GOD has blessed, let no man curse. After all said and done, SE still survived. The SE are hardworking and most importantly blessed people, we're just too dumb (forgive my language) to figure it out.

Re: Niger Bridge Is Falling! by kinguwem: 8:04pm On Feb 09, 2013
The mentality of nigerians & their politicians is appalling. The FG, ANSG & DESG should partner to maintain the bridge. If the bridge collapses, socio-economic activities shall be affected nationwide. Ibori's loot & the loot of other politicians can build a second bridge across the River Niger. Politicians should start executing people oriented projects.

chuksme:

It seems as if u are not a Nigerian. How do u expect state govt And individuals to do Federal govt. Work. The bridge is federal Bridge and not a small bridge. Maybe u were thinking it was a minor Bridge at ur back yard

But the Lagos state government just completed the Ikoyi-Lekki link Bridge and Lagos is currently finalizing plans for a fourth mainland bridge that will connect Olokanla Ajah to Lekki. So if one state government can do it, why cant two oil producing states (delta & anambra) not do it as well, instead of waiting for the federal government all this time, Its kind of a shame.


If I remember correctly I believe the FG has plans to build a 2nd Niger Bridge.
