seguno2: Ok, so I should call out Ojuelegba people for not fixing the cause of the repeated accident on that bridge. One of the basic reasons that governments exist is for the protection of lives and properties of its citizens. . 1 Like |

greatnaija01: Trucks should be banned from using overhead land bridges, they should also be inspected regularly to ensure they meet safety standards. |

Zionista: You missed my point completely. The government is elected/allowed in by the people through their votes or acquiescence. The government also stays in place by the grace of the people. Still do not understand? Read about sovereignty and social contract. If you still have questions, please let me know. Cheers |

Nigeria is a failed nation. Ojuelegba bridge supposed to be a no go area for trucks, but our irresponsible govt will not enact such law. 2 Likes |

Invest in railways.....as a priority. No containers should pass through downtown Lagos. Establish a container clearing yard along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, link it by rail to Tincan and Apapa ports and run daily trains.... |

Aladinn: The last line in your previous comment already gave out what you were insinuating. It's not rocket science and you don't need a mind reader to figure that out. You asked for my solution? It's simple. 1) Create a trailer park where trailers will be parked instead of being parked on the road. 2) The government has banned trucks from using that Ojuelegba bridge but they don't listen. That ban should be enforced and anybody who is caught will pay a hefty fine. 3) After enforcing the ban, create a barrier and the entry and exit of the bridge at both point to maybe 4 metres high. Any vehicle that is higher than 4 metres should use the road or take an alternative route. Those are my solutions in 3 easy steps that can be done in less than a month. Instead of resigning to the fact that the name "Ojuelegba" is haunting the place. |

Zionista: You got it wrong, may be you lack the necessary information here. Government has instructed that no truck should make use of those bridges That they should take alternate routes to their destinations When things happen we quickly blame the authorities while we are the devil who default always Simple instructions we won't follow until someone hurt someone It is better the govt swift into action and start arresting the bad eggs |

I may have to go traditional here, this happens every year, a times twice, thrice a year, yet, those that should do something is looking the other way. Our traditionalist should see to the sanity of Ojuelegba town before it gets out of hand. I unfortunately, i don't know the Oba that over sees Oluelegba for me to personally plead with him. It might need their care. For who long will we continue to have the problems there. Don't misunderstand me, there are on places without tradition so lets take hypocrisy out of this issue. |

Adesina12: You said Government has instructed that no truck should ply those bridges. Even though I doubt the veracity of such information since heavy duty trucks continue to ply those bridges on a daily basis, the duty of enforcing laws and regulations falls within the purview of governmental agencies. Laws are meant to be enforced and not just 'instructed'.People will always run foul of laws. Can you as a private citizen go to Ojuelegba and enforce the directive? The buck still stops on the table of the leadership. 1 Like |
