A stitch in time they say, saves nine. It's no news that Christmas is around the corner and everybody is trying to make the best out of it...In a nutshell, utilize every good opportunity that comes along with the season.

This is still November and the breeze of Christmas season has started blowing already.

So I embarked on a journey 3 days ago from Asaba to Awka just to go and put some things in order. And I was hoping to reach on time, achieve my motive of travelling that same day and then come back the next morning cos I had other things to fix in Asaba.
But to my greatest surprise, there was a very heavy traffic jam that people had to start trekking. I stayed for 4 good hours in the traffic. I couldn't trek cos I don't have that strength.
The Niger bridge was overloaded with vehicles that carried heavy loads. At a point, I began to feel uncomfortable cos of the number of vehicles with overloaded goods that queued up in the bridge. It would not be a good news if that bridge should develop a fault when there's no alternative yet.

In a nutshell, I sincerely want to raise an awareness campaign towards the project of the second Niger bridge. The government should please, look deep into it. A stitch in time, saves nine.
