30 years of crying to the same worthless FG is not enough? If Fashola can build the best bridge in West Africa in less than 3 years, how come the FG of Nigeria and the governors in the SE can not build a little bridge in 30 years even with their donated electoral votes for the Aso Rock dullard who is obviously taking them for granted...?

How hard is it to build this bridge? Must people die and perish before their corrupt, lazy and incompetent leaders lift a finger?

agbameta:


1. Today today, nothing is transpiring in terms of construction, that was just talk.

2. This JB thing is not a direct contract award by the FG to build that bridge which is what GEJ should have done.

3. GEJ is basically asking JB to fund the project instead of the FG or the people of Nigeria, he's selling that bridge to JB and washing his hands of it.

4. JB is in turn going to fund the construction and make the end users aka SE folks pay for their own bridge.

Bottom line, what GEJ have on the table at this very second for the SE regarding this bridge = Pay for your own damn bridge, the FG is not paying, you are going to pay JB via tolling.

The leaders in the region knows a lot about this plan and they are not saying a damn thing about it, not even GEJ's errand boy Peter Obi. He's cool with it...

You can play politics and tribalism as much as you want, but this is the sad reality and meager reward for your abundant votes.

Based on your point why is the SW waiting for the FG to fix the Lagos - Ibadan expressway? Abi are they lazy and incompetent?

pazienza:

True, on a personal and ideal level, a president of Nigeria has nothing to offer to offer to anybody, not even his people, but on a closer look, for a tribally and ethnically charged atmosphere we have in Nigeria, that's not entirely true.

An Obj wouldn't have easily sanctioned the cold murder of Abeokuta people like he did in Odi, just at the command of his colonial masters, An Efik president wouldn't have been too eager to give away bakassi like a yoruba president did, an Igbo finance minister wouldn't have sanctioned starvation policy on biafra as easily as a Yoruba finance minister did. I can go on and on.

Nigeria is a building about to collapse, we are all waiting for it's fall, but at the moment, all groups are trying to make sure they make it out of that building in one piece, and who ever is the president of Nigeria is going to play a big role in deciding if your group comes out in one piece. Nigeria is never going to be a united progressive country.


I mean, the current administration had done more for SE than all the Yoruba/hausa-fulani administrations had done in last four decades, and if allowed to take over again, they wouldn't do better, leopard doesn't change it's spots.

Policewoman: These yoruba kids making mouth here always refer to Lagos whenever siting any example. If i may ask, is it only in Lagos a former federal capital that there are bridges? If yes, then that means odua republic cannot survive without lagos. SS can do without PH and SE can also as well do without Onitsha.

Orlando Owoh:
That is the original sincere Nigerian; Sincere 9gerian is a fake, not seeing anything in the FG.

Sloan: It is better the bridge collapses so that biafra can be allowed to come out since it will cut biafra into a separate country like Ibos have always wanted! It is important to mention that Delta State never cries about the bridge, they know its a big relief if the burden of human cargo was reduced by any means! That said, most ibos who are paying taxes in Yoruba land have since figured out that using the bridges in Yoruba land where they pay taxes monthly and fees and enjoy a safe, developed and consistent way of life is better than iboland that has now adopted the republican mantra of no taxes (or is it low taxes) and small government? In essence they are voting with their legs and their wallet! Today, the Lagos governor, Governor Fashola commissioned another agricultural facility that will be churning out 150,000 eggs on the first day early next year and 32 tonnes of cassava! The people shout low taxes, low taxes and come to where their taxes is counting in Yoruba land to pay for better road, better houses, better quality of life and will return for a week or two in December - January! >>

kettykin: Still on infrastructures in the east, the 5 south east states should take over the bridges and build it and toll it , a minimum of 6 to 8 million cars pass the bridge ever year,
The Bridge if tolled would yield N5b per year and would be able to pay for it self in 25 years , alternative would be delta and anambra taking over the bridge and tolling users.

This makes federal ministry of works redundant, it is high time the FMW and housing is scrapped, let each state/region take care of its road bridges and housing, this would lead to less failed projects, less corruption and more state inclined expenditures.
Those saying fashola and Amosun should handle Niger bridge should urge Amosun and eFashols to first take up lagos Ibadan express way which has been in a very bad state for more than 14 years

Malawian:

all the billions they are spending at lagos ibadan road, why dont they use it to build the bridge? who and who is going to ibadan sef.?

why didnt lagos and oyo team up to build the road instead of the FG?

biodunid: Done what exactly? The 'international' airport that has no landing lights so can't be used at night? Or the carpetbaggers in federal positions who do not remember home?

BTW Aregbe is building a truly international airport that will have a 3.5km runway which will be the longest in Nigeria. Osun, in case you haven't noticed, has one of the lowest federal allocations in the country. Without derivation, without population and without 'patriotic' immigrants it is doing well and making much of the little it has. Even the Abuja airport runway is so short that a Saudi cargo plane ran out of runway just days ago. Do you hear Yorubas crowing about that project? You must have heard the tale about the strongman from the village and the one from town? The childish way certain petty things are made so much of on this forum really depresses one sometimes. Do we ascribe it to low self esteem or something even worse?

kettykin:

You have just exposed your lack of depth how can you compare a cable bridge that is designed to carry passenger cars and pedestrian across short distances to a heavy duty arch bridge designed to be a backbone bridge ferrying passengers, passenger cars, articulated vehicles, heavy duty trucks and equipment and heavy railn.The lekki bridge is feather weight bridge compared to Niger bridge and cannot carry 10% of the load on Niger bridge.

This is how APC will forever keep spamming and scamming their followers the lekki cable bridge has little significance to the traffic situation of lagos, if Fashola was man enough and wanted to solve the traffic issues of lagos he would have built a bridge between Epe, ibeju lekki and Ikorodu which would have solved the problem of Ikorodu, third main land problem and VI congestion, who is really trying to fool who.

agbameta:



Thanks for the magical revelation, you are specially gifted...

lakhadimar: Look at this nyamiri b*stard. You keep saying yorubas are lazy, why dont motherfu.ckers replicate your hardworking strides by going back home to develop iboland as you have developed yorubaland? You Igbos keep voting for incompetent politicians yet you will blame the yorubas for your leaders inefficency

GenBuhari: The words of FG can not be relied on especially when they are trying to win elections.

Business should raise the funds to at least re-enforce the bridge until Nigeria gets a serious government.

pazienza:


An international airport is an international airport. If we are to go by global standards, then no Nigerian international airport is worth that tag, not even your MMIA.

Good a thing you noticed that under GEJ despite all you people's effort to stop it, we finally got an international airport without lights like you put it *grins*, when we couldn't even get any under your 4 decade hold on Nigeria.


Aregbe is building a truly international airport? good for you, but you don't see any Igbo interested in whatever is happening in Osun, like you are obsessed with our international airport, you even carried out a full attack on Stella, pathetic people.

ngozievergreen:

In the face of the mass poverty in osun, aregbe is building Intl airport?
for what? For who?
smh

they dont build road,jeeeeeeeeez olodo, they construct road. The road is already in place. So maintenance or fixing is the right word.

I still don't understand the kind of trading school education, you guys are receiving. na wa oooo!!!

ngozievergreen:

is yorubaland developed? no.
show me one built up city in ur land, none.
Enugu, owerri, Onitsha have no substitutes in the whole of ur land.
At least north has presentable kano and Kaduna.
what a shame.

ngozievergreen:
There is no point saying 'you guys ', the word you was enough.
- it's not dont, it is don't .
Don't know the kind of almajiri education u are receiving.

geeez:

We can't sit and watch this bridge collapse

Anything to save it

How can Amosun be building over five bridges and neglecting the Niger Bridge?

How can Fashola build the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge among others he's built and not look in the direction of the Niger?

Wickedness at its peak

ibn akogun:

Cross the Niger bridge to the asaba end once in your miserable life time. Before coming here to talk like an authority on issues concerning south west. Ibadan only has 16 gras while your best city Onitsha can boast of only one. Speak volume of which city is more develop.

ngozievergreen:

Do u cross Niger bridge more than I do?

ibn akogun:

And your gross village mentality tells much about that.

Ngokafor: lol!...APC supporters doing their thing...senile old men with flabby mouths behaving like mentally unstable kids with zero IQ...
...not surprised though,i guess it's a cultural thing..una weldone,.
