This is the world's longest ocean bridge located in China. It spans 26 miles and took four years to build. It cost more than $1.5 billion to complete and has a life expectancy of 100 years. Now, ask our leaders to build this bridge in Nigeria and we will go bankrupt. Second Niger Bridge in Onitsha that is a mere 1.5 kilometers (about one mile) is costing over N100 billion naira, that is over $500 million dollars at N190 to $1. Nigerians, please let us invite China to come and build fourth mainland bridge in Lagos and other bridges and let us pay toll for 100 years. The same China built 30,000 megawatts of electricity at $29 billion. We have spent over $50 billion on darkness. Tomorrow somebody would argue that we are normal human beings. Chinese don't have mosques and churches scattered all over the place. They have no Imams, pastors, no 'men of God", no daddy and mummy GOs. Yet, many of us deceive ourselves "praying", "casting" and "binding", looking for miracles, hawking miracles, signs and wonders and thinking that one day "God will help us". Before you talk with an average Nigerian, he tells you "by God's grace". What that means, I do not know. We steal, cheat, kill, discriminate and on Fridays and Sundays, we flock to mosques and churches, paying 10 per cent of our loot to some funny characters called men of God....... Shame on this nation.

Oh Lord, please help sai baba so that he can build such bridge in Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria
God bless Sai Baba
God bless Fashola

GOd already blessed your bloklat brain so use da 4kg thing.
Damn. Na only una sabi pray.

Building this sort of bridge in Nigeria would obviously cost more because we would have to import a lot of the equipment and even the engineers.
I remember the cost of building the Abuja stadium was N60 billion ($500,000,000 when $1=N120). The same amount built an entire small city in China complete with underground power infrastructure, water lines, paved roads and sidewalks, and even some high rise buildings.

Its only possible when people don't vote out of sentiment a President who lacks ideas on way forward

With time hopefully Nigeria shall have something better than this.

This guy just said the plain truth.

No wonder Nigeria's being called a zoo

Bridges like this are a norm all over China. This is what development is! But Nigerian politicians would manage to build 1 kilometre of road and they'll not allow us to hear word, not to talk about the fact allocations for their wishy-washy projects are bloated.

You kill it bro.......I cannot agree less, well knitted piece

Amechi, minister of transport, spent close to $1bn on a-6km monorail without completion while Adis Ababa completely built a-45km modern rail with $475m.. Naija rewarding mediocrity and corruption since 1914

I absolutely agree with you.Our Pastors and Imams are part of our Albatross in this country;never ready to tell our leaders the truth.

I see self-deceit everywhere....."we will get there"?.....when?...we can't even boast of 12hours electricity in this jet age abi na drone age...

The Nigerian government can't even expand the major highway linking the West to the East from 3 to 5 lanes, let alone a $ billion bridge

China?

I respect them

Why are nigerians so bent on disseminating false information in the name of criticism.

Point of correction for some who may be doing research on distance, cost and time of completing bridges in Africa. Below is the true reflection of second niger bridge.

The Second Niger Bridge project comprises Phases 1, 2a and 2b and includes a southern bypass of both Asaba and Onitsha cities with an approximate total length of 44km to be completed in 48 months at the cost of N108 billion. The phase 1 of the project, which is the bridge and adjacent roads, is approximately 11.9 kilometres and will be constructed and operated under a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme.

The bridge will comprise a 3.31 kilometre-long road section on the Delta side, including a 500 metre-long toll plaza; a 1.59 kilometres tolled concrete box-girder bridge with two superstructures; and a 7.0 kilometre-long road section on the Anambra side.

Remarkable God bless the engineers
