Odili Bridge Collapses In Port Harcourt by phoneport(m): 12:23pm On May 21, 2013 |
Multi-billion Naira ‘odili Bridge’ Collapses In Port Harcourt The Bridge constructed by the former governor leaves Rivers State in heavy traffic. Thousands of commuters in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, endured a second day of horrendous traffic gridlock after a barely seven-year old overpass, constructed by the administration of indicted former governor, Peter Odili, caved in on Sunday. Cars tailed into several kilometers, around the Aba road expressway area, on Monday http://premiumtimesng.com/news/100540-multi-billion-naira-odili-bridge-collapses-in-port-harcourt.html

Thank God nobody died. But how can an ordinary 7 years old bridge collapse? When we have bridges of 20 years and more still standing like Olumu Rock. |

Laughable. That's a man with perpetual court injunction restraining anyone from prosecuting him. |

Reflection of every thing wrong with the nation. Nothing works in this country. Imagine how much was spent in constructing the bridge. |
Re: Odili Bridge Collapses In Port Harcourt by DeCleff(m): 2:15pm On May 21, 2013 |
Odili's rgime was characterized wit fraud so i wasn't expecting durability in all he did in Rivers State. Yet he wants to rule Nigeria. |

As long as there is corruption, something like this will still continue. Millions of naira must have been budgeted for the bridge and yet, the amount released for the construction might have been so little that forced the construction company to use fake and substantial materials. Who knows? Bulletine as a construction company is to a large extent, an indigenous company and I know they would have played along with the corruption and embezzlement tactics of the Peter Odili administration. What is paining me now is that another millions of Naira will again be budgeted to repair the bridge. What a waste! We need a total flush out of all corrupt leaders in this country before we can truly start enjoying the dividends of democracy |

The former governor, who now lives in Abuja, secured an unprecedented perpetual injunction against prosecution by the EFCC. Meanwhile, a recent River State legislation entitles Mr. Odili, as a former governor, to a raft of state-paid life benefits including cars, houses in choice areas in Port- Harcourt and Abuja, and a retinue of aides. This part was the one I found most irksome. What did this man give to Nigeria in return for all that? Who has justified it? Thank God, however, that the injunction covers the EFCC alone. I just hope some patriot would be smart enough to find a way to relieve him of the oppressing burden of those benefits and grant him a simple "rest of his life" in a maximum security prison. But then, Nigeria is not on the map for intelligence. For excuses, we win big awards, for results...your guess... Anyhow, someone can craft a suit that will sink that rat-infested ship but have they got the balls and the patriotism for it? |
