Onitsha Ancient Bridge Collapses by chismart02: 8:29am On Sep 25, 2013
One of the oldest colonial drainages in the country, located on Old Market Road, Onitsha in Anambra State, has collapsed, cutting off the main market. The collapsed bridge also damaged a car parked on the road leading to the market.

It was gathered that the drainage, built by the colonial masters, early 1927, started caving in recently, following lack of maintenance and heavy traffic. It finally yielded to pressure yesterday and collapsed.

An eyewitness, who has a shop opposite the collapsed drainage and gave her name simply as Chinwe, said the collapse of the bridge might not be unconnected with its age as well as lack of maintenance by successive administrations in the state.

Chinwe disclosed that she heard a loud sound, when the drainage collapsed, adding that a Toyota Siena car parked along the road was affected, following the shockwaves created by the collapse of the drainage.

ajiban: It's not easy not to believe in God (and supernatural miracles) in Nigeria. Left, right, center, people are claiming miracles and supernatural intervention. Every Nigerian - politicians, businessmen, educators, beggars, and criminals inclusive - believes in the miracle working God, the devil, demons, witches, wizards, and 'spiritual attacks'!

Is there someone else on Nairaland who lives in Nigeria and does not believe in God? How do you manage to hold on to your unbelief in the midst of all these dogmatic believers? Whew, isn't this country too hot?!

Billions can be fooled, but I wont be. Simple Biology states and proves that Egg and Sperm MUST fuse to form an embryo, and fetus - the precursors of babies.

It baffles me, that billions of people, both Christians, and non-Christians, believe that Holy Spirit had sperm, had sex with Mary and fathered Jesus.

Something is definitely wrong with many humans, but not Billyonaire.

I refuse to believe this, and I conclude that the Virgin Birth of Jesus - is the Most Acceptable Lie, most unquestionable Lie.

you are not a christain, maybe you don't believe in the existance of God so the issue of christ birth is beyond your comprehension. Just ask God to heal you of your insanity.
