All tribes ply the bridge being you Igbo, Yoruba, hausa etc. Only in Africa backward politics are played.

Lostz:
maybe the easiest to finally have biafra. nature is trying to cut them from Nigeria.


federal government should do everything to avert the incoming loss of life. just spend the whole Abacha loot on completing the second niger bridge

What then happens when the 3rd mainland bridge expires?

Someone should pls explain to me, how do those pillars stand in water bodies?

I pass through the The 1st, 2nd and 3rd mainland bridges everyday and I keep on wondering how possible it is that those pillars were built inside the water.

By the way, the first mainland bridge was constructed before the Niger bridge and it's still solid, does it mean the Niger Bridge wasn't done properly?

Finally, Julius Berger keep on marveling me, those guys are geniuses, their construction everywhere, especially bridges are superb, even the Chinese are still far behind, look at the rubbish they are building at Constain or what they built at Ikorodu road, overrated proud folks in construction.

THE BRIDGE IS SUPER OLD.

HURRIEDLY REBUILT AFTER BIAFRA WAR.

IT IS A MIRACLE, E NEVER FALL TILL NOW.

Ginomel:



In a layman terms, for shallow bridges, you can block the vicinity and dry the water then dig and pour the pillar .

For deep water, you do pipe piling and pour concrete in it. then place the platform bed.

You may also use cofferdam, it has an enclosure with pipes. Put inside water and pump out the trapped water. You can continue as above.


You can use caisson too. Almost like cofferdam.

Insert the enclosure in water .Pump out the water, it will be like dry land, then continue as above.

Buhari is playing politics with the 2nd bridge until the inevitable happens and lives are lost.

Tell me any place colonial bridge is still in use.

uuzba:


I don't understand how olden days people without computer, internet, or android phone can build a bridge that is so strong for over 70 years and we now with all our smartness and computer cannot fast-fast build another super powerful bridge since ALL THIS TIME
It's as if we just WASTE all our modern knowledge and technology, ARGUING and FIGHTING on social media and cannot make any single positive impact in our society.

the Chinese are superb at building and everything,they re evil genius with the best IQ in the world....
Nigeria is just to backward for Chinese intelligence,we lack the ability in science and technology to check standard of goods and materials,if China says "these machine is 78% copper,57% molybdenum,42% improvised duralumin and has 3% carbon garnished silver diodes",,how do we check?with what machines and who is gonna produce the machine?does the government ever think of checking? can they?

It's not only Niger Bridge that is vibrating, the whole country is vibrating

Afamed:

You should be ashamed of yourself. After 16 years of your unalloyed loyalty to PDP

Iolo:
Surprised how a journalist interviews random civilians who then make a pronouncement on an area they aren’t experts in.

Whilst the bridge may be old or weak as alluded, It is completely normal for a Bridge to vibrate when you stand on them...you will feel this slightly.

Evilgenuis:
Waiting for the day the inevitable will happen

IkpuNnegiEwu44:



Tell that to your Father.


I hope you repeat this when another govt takes over from this evil APC and uncompleted project in yoloba is mentioned.
