They could have made the bridge shorter and saved a lot of money.

uneducated one. the bridge has to link admiralty way. if the bridge takes any of your red lines do you know each plot of land the government takes from the owners will be at least 500m naira each. what about the cost of those mansions that would have to be demolished? the right way is to avoid demolition of billions of naira worth of property. that area has the most expensive set of buildings in nigeria

Lilisticlili:
Over hyped bridge
Pls am not a fool
That bridge is not cable suspended,it has pillars under,the cables are for decoration.

Engineers can tell u anytin to save there energy bcus u don't no the job but pls don't be a fool for life

really? how many pillars in that long stretch? ignorant illiterate

eliadekx:
Nice gesture but don't be over excited because we are still thousand miles backward compare to modern days tec around the world....

Mr around the world. let's try and appreciate the little we have now till we can do better. that bridge is the first of it's kind. baby steps bro. you don't run before you start crawling!!!

. Contispation worry you

EsotericMonk:

My dear, its becoming irritating sef. If not first in Africa, they will say First in Sub-saharan Africa. If not, na West Africa.
If others had beaten us to it, we will claim first in Nigeria, or first in southern Nigeria. We just have to attach a first to it for it to be any sensible. Some will even say first since 200X like seriously?

it's the first of it's kind in Nigeria. if you know any other cable bridge in Nigeria pls tell us the location

Lilisticlili:

bloody diarrhea worry you

EsotericMonk:
To all those saying "fashola try", " Ambode is working ", i'm sorry to say but you're no different from political lackeys and N50 praise singers who sing the praises of their political benefactors.
You guys need to travel, pls go out and see the world develop at astonishing pace and less noise. For all the supposed wonderful things they have done in Lagos, its just a scratch on the surface. Our standard as Nigerians is too low and we're too comfy with mediocrity.

yes there is corruption in the country but pls give Kudos when there is the need to Mr traveller. a lot of states in the US have higher GDP than Nigeria yet you are comparing us with them in terms of infrastructure?

you have to crawl before you run Mr traveller

When you see the way they praise their useless politicians for rubbish, you just wonder if they have been cursed. They do not even realise that these inflated projects are done with tax payers money. Nigerians deserve all the suffering they are getting now

in a class where the average student scores 3/10 a student that managed to scored a five should be praised and shown ways to improve!!! which state are u from? what are your governors doing?

and in the process demolish the houses and distort the planning of the area?

AutoReportNG:
The Lekki-Ikoyi bridge was built and commissioned by former Lagos State Gov, Mr. Babatunde Fashola on 29th of May 2013, the bridge is said to be an impressive pylon and cable-stayed construction, a technology never before used in Nigeria, the modern landmark connects two highly frequented districts – providing considerable relief to existing traffic routes in the economic center of Nigeria.

The bridge is the first cable-stayed bridge to be built in Nigeria and was constructed by Julius Berger Nigeria. The bridge has a 9-metre headroom above the water level in order to allow for the flow of maritime traffic.

The bridge has become sort of celebrities bridge as you are bound to meet some celebrities on this bridge early in the morning doing their exercise, it was so unique that even Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg was pictured jogging along this bridge when he was in Lagos, faces like Mo Abudu, the CEO of Ebonylife, the MD/CEO of various banks use this bridge as their one-stop place for exercise.

As beautiful as this bridge is, no one knows how strenuous it is to get this edifice in place, according to Julius Berger, it was a difficult one coming to this type of bridge as it is new in the country, no state has ever built anything close to this cable-style bridge before. We are able to get the behind the scene pictures of how this bridge was built and some other works.

That's a senseless comparison. Comparing students who are being taught to daft politicians who know what to do but would prefer deceiving the people with small inflated projects which they use tax payers money for. You want to praise a governor because he is doing what you voted him to do? Praise him because he used his personal money and is doing you a favour? I don't blame you. Suffer head has distorted your way of reasoning. You are so comfortable with the rubbish your useless governors dish to you. Asking me stupid question about what state im from as if any state in the whole nigeria is anything to be proud of.

Jaideyone:

My brother that's beside the point. We don't need to add 'first' before we know its a milestone project.

BafanaBafana:

Obviously, you don't UNDERSTAND the concept of "Transportation". Connection cum distribution of traffic (goods +services) are the most important considerations and not the distance

exactly what i was thinking

but they're professionals, they might have their reasons

daft politicians indeed. can you really say fashola didn't perform well in Lagos? whether you like it or not politicians can be likened to students who will be graded based on their performance at the end their tenure. you are the daft one here for now understanding a simple explanation.

ofcourse he didn't use his personal money but if these politicians deserve to be crucified for the high unemployment and poverty rate then they deserve to be commended when they build something that is the first of it's kind in Nigeria.

what kind of educated individual wants to apportion blames but is not ready to commend when a beautiful project like this is carried out? at the end of the day I'm sure your state government is somewhere using your money to build statues or build hotels in Lagos and Abuja.

what have we done to the likes of uduaghan, the two orjis, timpere sylva, akala, mimiko, gbenga Daniel, etc that mismanaged public funds? nothing!!! we only insult and scream. but when one man decides to do the right thing and build a bridge for public use to ease traffic and save man hours you can't commend him.

Mr pseudo intellectual, when next you want to call someone daft be sure you are making use of your brain in the process. hater!!!

EsotericMonk:

is it your first? let us add it!!! it's the first of it's kind in Nigeria. tell your governor to innovate too

Faster but not cheaper...its a better option regardless

you are an slowpoke. plain and simple. I do not know what you mean by the right thing. building bridges to ease traffic roads is no longer the responsibility of the government? I have said it, long years of suffering and smiling has distorted your thinking faculty. In your mind your lagos is like some paradise to you because of some funny bridges, bus terminals and wall paintings. you are one of the many foolish nigerians who encourage politicians to take them for granted. I am 100% sure my brain is functioning fine and in use. what i do not know is if you have a brain to use at all, because if you can type the rubbish up there, I pity the kind of offspring you'll raise. Wake up and start using your head, do not allow suffering and poverty make you celebrate mediocrity. there is absolutely nothing to celebrate or commend in lagos or any other state is this sh.it hole country. Ya'll will continue to suffer and die till you decide to use your brain. it is not for decoration. use it. lagos boy!

seguno2:


Where is the fight in asking questions on a public forum
Please let me know.
Thanks

OK, substitute the word "fight" with "drag" or any synonyms that fit the context.

seguno2:


In the same state governed by Jakande, Mobolaji Johnson and even Awolowo
Are you sure about what you are saying or you are just too young to have a more comprehensive knowledge of Lagos state?

More of the latter than the former.

And again it is my humble opinion.

Regards.

And displace people from their homes

lol you have a comprehension problem.

of course building roads to ease traffic is the governments responsibility!!! but if they don't do it what will you do? the likes of the orjis, uduaghan, daniel performed poorly on their first term and they still won for a second term even though the masses were groaning under their leadership!!! even after they embezzled and stile your future they are still walking freely and you've not been able to do anything for them. all you do is criticise. so what stops you from appreciating a fashola that built a bridge (did well)? you are throwing insults but you don't understand a simple explanation and you are putting my future kids when you should pity yourself and your parents for your low IQ and the money wasted on your education


before you start typing jargons again answer this questions

1.) did fashola do well enough to get a 6/10 for what he did in Lagos?

2.) can you give uduaghan, sylva, the orjis, mimiko 4/10 as a score for what they did in their respective states?

3.) if quest 1 is yes and 2 is no. then what stops you from commending the guy that did well even though you feel he can do more?

the basic rule of motivation is that you reward those that are did fairly well so they can improve and do more. that's my point!!!

go school you no gree

Please phuck off with your senseless arguments. Im happy you accept that it is rhe responsibility of the government to build infrastructure that will make live easy for the peoole and they do not use their personal money to do it. Whatever daft argument you bring up doesnt concern me anymore. It just shows that you have chosen to remain extremely fooli.sh and a slave all through. People like you justify the reason why some others think slavery is a choice. You have chosen to be a slave and to be annoyingly fooli.sh with no sign of redemption. Go and buy aso ebi and call pasuma when next your governor is commissioning a bus terminal.

illiterate!!! of course I agreed it is government responsibility from the beginning. let me give you another example. if you have two sales men working for you. one was able to sell two out of ten cars allocated to him while the other sold six. what do you do? you commend the one that sold six and critique the one that sold two!!! yes it's their responsibility to sell the cars but that doesn't mean you won't commend the high performer.

your children and in for a though time with this upside down mentality because with your mentality you don't know when to commend good performance and motivate the performer.

sadist like you

Sagay212:


this boy is too dumb. stop making senseless comparisons. I told you already. stop being extremely stupi.d. Don't you have a brain? what daft examples are you giving? are your governors sales people. Use your head. your governors have the available funds to carry out the projects. these MF begged, made promises and lied to air heads like you to get your votes. you voted for them and they are meant to fix every damn sector of the state. good roads, health care, quality education and so on. you phucking governors are constructing bus terminals especially for their BRT business and you think you should roll out drums and aso ebi to celebrate them? the construct a pedestrian bridge or some few kilometre bridge at inflated cost and you think you should praise them? if they don't build bridges, roads, infrastructures in general, what else should they be doing? organising shows, choosing aso ebi and calling pasuma to come entertain numbskulls like you?

Commend ambode/fashola or any other governor for doing what exactly? all of the state roads in lagos are so smooth or the schools are of international standards or the state hospitals are functioning so well that ambode will treat himself or any of his family members there.

you are too stup.id for me to be replying but i have to do it. I have to teach you to understand what government stands for. argue however you want, I am sure you have learnt something no matter how stupi.d you are. you won't just accept because you have been so used to a life of mediocrity and hardship. omo oju o rola ri. na lekki link bridge and bus terminal dey shack your brain. may God deliver you from your foo.lishness.

lol you are irredeemably lost. you need to see a shrink
