ujoinme: Abak - Uyo suspended bridge at Ediene Abak Under construction by julius berger to be commissioned by my president in September 2014 to mark Akwa ibom 27 yrs of state creation. stay tunned.

all4naija: This is all Uyo has to offer as a city. It looks like a large village to me. What is going on in Nigeria?! I can't understand why we can't develop! I just can't!

IGBOSON1:

^^^Go fuc/k yourself if the pics are paining you!

The people of Akwa Ibom like the pace of development in their state and that is all that matters!

BabaTony:


Nice bridge but ujoinme there is absolutely nothing "suspended" about the bridge. Please do well to correct the caption.

The pix are quite nice actually. I live in the US and have lived in huge cities and on a spalling ranch. I love the looks of this place. A huge metropolis is way overrated. This is the perfect cross between the slower pace of small towns and the hustle and bustle of the big city.

all4naija:
No, you live in the poor urban area with better infrastructure to Uyo's. The population in that city is appalling with less and poor infrastructure to meet their needs.

It doesn't mean the buildings have to be shafts like in most images and the environment rural to claim this development is right. Indeed, you are just one individual who is possibly satisfied with rural nature of that place which I disagree with. No good transport system, no central drainage system, no effective power system, no urban commuters, no modern beautification of the surroundings and the way they access the poor development is annoying to say the least and it is called a city. What more can I say about it?!

I don't think you are making sense at all. Please, don't come here with you baseless point to tell us about liking the development yet making comparison with the west that has urban planning. You're totally wrong!

texanomaly:

Don't they have to start somewhere though? Instead of complaining and using bad language why not be a positive voice and get Nigeria headed in the right direction. Affect positive change.

ujoinme: Babatony what will you call the lekki - ikoyi link bridge? the Lagos state government calls it a suspended bridge and in my opinion there is nothing suspended about that bridge.

States can call their infrastructure what ever they like, i was just quoting the Akwa ibom state govt. caption for the bridge its not my opinion.
I dont care what fancy name they choose to call their infrastructure as long as they build it.

I usually take words like international, world class,massive, state of the arts etc and in this case " suspended" attached to infrastructures anywhere in Nigeria with a pinch of salt.
