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??

Oga, we are talking of a brigde that can consume a state govt annual budget in building a new one.

FG should do something b4 i change my mind.

We need not look further than all the former and present Transport ministers who failed in their duties and responsibilities. I remember driving to Ota few months just after Pres Obasanjo just finished his 8th year rule, yet the road from lagos to his ota farm was in total disrepaire, well maybe the road is not as important as the Niger bridge but at least one gets the picture of the sort of environment we live in, people in power just don`t care. We all know how important the Niger bridge is, that is the only link connection the west to the east, for me its a shame, we should be celebrating at least 10 years of a second niger bridge by now. Those that rule us have failed miserably, lets be honest and accept they are from the four corners of the federation. We are being led by the blind, Name and shame all the transport ministers of the past 25 years, they are responsible. We are sometimes too quick to turn the collective shame of of are leaders irrespective of origin into an ethnic finger pointing. .

The Niger Bridge is falling,
David Mark is busy talking,
and the Nigerian govt is too busy watching.
Building a Second Niger Bridge, another worthy promise/project GEJ led FG's seem cut out not to fulfil/carry out.
Re: Niger Bridge Is Falling! by Symphony007: 7:22am On Feb 10, 2013
The national assembly is clamouring for new niger bridge and fourth mainland bridge, where do the think the money is coming from when they claim for themeselves 25% of the budget. I'm just looking at nigeria and laughing, we think we're beyond a fiscal crisis, government borrowing in growing, we're spending more than we take in. Nigeria is running deficit budget..the bubble is growing!

Re: Niger Bridge Is Falling! by Briggsdnero(m): 9:33am On Feb 10, 2013
shut up frnds nd stop putting d blame on anambra state govt. Dat bridge is a federal way nt of d states. Besides d federal govt has spent a whole lot of millions on dat bridge also diaz a lot of evil on dat water disturbing d bridge
Re: Niger Bridge Is Falling! by Nobody: 9:34am On Feb 10, 2013
I passed dat bridge dis december, it actually creaks anytym a car passes across. Twas scary walai. I know some of d anti gejs have already started blaming jonathan. When d governor has not informed d federal government, am sure dis issue has not even come up for discussion in the house of reps. Evrybody is too busy with subsidy, boko haram, power suPply and MERGERS, even if it has, it pales in comparison to all dis BIGGER issues.Do u expect jonah d man to come nd inspect d niger bridge when he probably hasn't travelled across it since he stopped putting on bathroom slippers?? Nairalander..... Be fair nd objective in ur criticism. Very soon u guys would start blaming jonathan for not tarring or filling up d portholes in your streets.lolzzz. Or even cementing ur compounds nd plastering ur walls. Nawaoooh. Anyway, dis is a wake-up call.
Re: Niger Bridge Is Falling! by snowprince01(m): 9:45am On Feb 10, 2013
Anything dat will happen let it happen... We only die once.. If d bridge like let it evaporate, e no concern me. Let's first solve d un employment issue nd security. If d bridge collapse we will resort to using boats to cross nd believe me it will be a good view, nonsense
Re: Niger Bridge Is Falling! by ajadek(m): 10:40am On Feb 10, 2013
Justosaus:
Guy its not as easy as u think o. We're talking of a bridge of about N100bilion here, don't think there's any 'village' in the world that can do that. But on a more serious note sha, i think the federal goverment is just playing politics with the whole issue. Or maybe there's a plot somewhere to allow d bridge collapse, cutting off the east in the process
even if any rich or state govt intend to put their money,fg will never allowed them,all in d name of political beleived,example ikorodu to ishagam rooad,this lafarge cement company have write to fg to do the road bt nt allowe them,
Re: Niger Bridge Is Falling! by milkymesh: 1:05pm On Feb 10, 2013
You don,t have to be an engineer to know the bridge is collapse, but only a fool will know the bridge is on the verge of collapse. I live in onitsha and travel to Asaba everytime. Ibo's are overly concern with money and business to the deteriment of other important things. CAN,T THE FIVE EASTERN STATE TAKE IT AS A CHALLENGE. Mount pressure on FG? Rather they are there playing politics with millions of lives,i.e Ibo and non-IBO,S. Can,t d five state govt start the project with a view of recouping from FG? Mtcheew!
Aafulenu: i dont knw the bridge u guys are talking abt here, is it the one i just passed on my way back from work? the same one that has heavy traffic right nw? the same one with more than two lanes of cars?
granted, we need anoda bridge, but to say the present bridge is abt to fall is a complete white lie.

You are a big fool. Do you think such project is what a state/states can embark on? Do you know the number of times promises have been made by previous administrations about erecting a second Niger Bridge? It is better to shut up if you dont have anything meaningful to contribute than spewing the above thrash.

Sounds to me like you're the big fool.

What kind of bridge is it that the States of Anambra and Delta can't embark on? Both states are wealthy in both in human,financial and natural resources, the bridge serves a greater economic importance to the SE and Onitsha in particular. Again, why can't they embark on it?

There are tens of thousands of cars, buses, trucks, etc moving hundreds of thousands if not million of people by the day. If you toll the bridge over a period of 10 years to recoup the cost, wouldn't it pay itself?
