Julius Berger Died And Buried In Ikorodu, Lagos, Nigeria? by jowhyte(m): 5:47pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
Was travelling to Ibefun, Ogun state earlier today and was shocked to have seen a statue molded and they said that was the River that killed Julius Berger while he was attempting to construct the bridge. My question is, if this is true, why didn't River Niger Bridge or 3rd Mainland bridge that were great project killed Julius Berger? While that small river close to Ibefun, Ogun state did? Please is this true?

Heard it also while travelling and had to find out from my old man, he said berger had been successful with gigantic bridges, roads all over the world, and that little river wanted to spoil his name and biz, that after doing a part of the bridge today, by tomorrow morning it would collapse, after toiling for weeks n months, he then went to seek the ifas, and was told that a queen ruling in that river said only if he gives his life would the project be possible..and bla bla bla 11 Likes 1 Share |

in conclusion a white man died while constructing d bridge. he was not Julius berger as he died in a concentration camp during world war 2 in 1942. it is normal for pple to die during construction of dat nature. forget any mumu powerless ifa saying he shud sacrifice his life. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

greatgod2012: Lol, how can that story be true? Doesn't it sound silly and ridiculous to you? A German engineer consulted an Ifa priest who told him the only option he has to complete a small bridge in one remote village in Nigeria is if he sacrifices his life. Chai, big fable.

Had to verify from someone staying at itokin if it was just as my old man said, was the same gist...other contractors had failed prior to him been given the contract n that berger was a proud dude n felt it was a slap to his face that not up to 30m bridge would bring down his ego n pride,and said if its gonna take his life so be it..as long as it was not termed a failed project at the end...my reaction was like, some oyinbos sha...can you imagine??.. 1 Like |

Also that river is just not ordinary, was told its very very deep, especially seeing water shrubs cover it is so decieving, also an aircraft has perished in that same itokin river |

I am amazed at how some Nigerians believe every stupid story in this internet age. This is something that can easily be verified, instead some would rather believe hearsay. Remember the story of Nigeria vs India, with Nigeria losing the match 99-1. Some would even swear to watching the match that funny enough never took place. 7 Likes 1 Share |
