Hmmmnnn

Keep quiet... Who ask you? What do you know?

What is so special about a bridge the South East and South South people will pay for before use in the name of toll gate?

helinues:
Well, ingrates would always be an ingrate.

That's for sure

Waking from your slumber, this is where you know how to blow grammar, your number one enemies name has been mentioned (IGBO)

Easterners will pay for the bridge via tolling so they technically built it. If GEJ had not progressed this bridge, Bubu would never think of it how much more of touching it. How important is this bridge to the average Easterner?

⏩He never ignored the East.

He loved them so much that he
even continuously entertained them
with Python Dance..

The Igbo youth loved the dance.☺️☺️

helinues:


If Pdp and GEJ had not drawn and constructed the 2nd Niger bridge on paper, may be Uzodinma won't be ass licking Buhari..

Don't you think?

you are working for your 30k monthly stipend
Na media cow u be continue

This man talks too much.
A governor shouldn't be talking this way.
Action speaks louder � than voice.
You can't in anyway compare what was done in other regions to the infrastructure in the southeast and this man is busy talking.

Hmmm!

MadamVanessa:
Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo, says it will amount to “ingratitude” for people from the south-east to say President Muhammadu Buhari neglected the region.

Just because of Niger bridge?

OK

Forward thinking countries are building infrastructure with little noise and museums of the future to promote science …

Meanwhile in the giant of africowwww… one bridge in the south east, and we automatically have the greatest world leader ever

Sycophant !!

So in seven years the old Eastern region only got the second Niger Bridge with no railway and with the deplorable state of federal roads all around yet we are expected to sing Buhari's praises, o kwa ya? And we will be ingrates if we say Buhari neglected us even though plans are on to toll.the bridge when the Lagos-Ibadan express road hasn't been tolled? The Kaduna-Abuja road hasn't been tolled. The Kano-Kaduna express road has also not been tolled.

Buhari thank u, u hear?

Outrage as FG abandons N140bn 2nd Niger Bridge
...Buhari should order Julius Berger back to site - Stakeholders

There is anger in the South East zone over the Federal Government’s abandonment of the N140 billion ($700 million) 2nd Niger Bridge.
Investigations by The AUTHORITY revealed that the contractor, Julius Berger Construction Company, stopped work on the project which is being constructed under Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement since April 2015.

Concerned citizens of Eastern Nigeria and other stakeholders are appealing to President Buhari to direct the construction company to resume work on the project.
After a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on August 26, 2015, the Director
General of Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Aminu Diko, had hinted that work on the vital bridge would be suspended.
Dikko said: “The communities around that area are clamouring that their lands have been taken and that they have not been compensated adequately. As a matter of fact, we got a letter from the Onitsha Traditional Rulers Council complaining that they have not been adequately represented in this transaction.”

As that was raging, the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole called on the former Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, to explain to Nigerians the whereabouts of the billions meant for the bridge as according to him, $700 million was drawn from the Sovereign Wealth Fund for the project.
The bridge’s contract was awarded by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan during the second term of former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi.
Onolememen had then assured Nigerians that the project would be completed before the expiration of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in 2015 as part of efforts to deliver on the campaign promises of that government.
But Jonathan lost in the election and immediately the contractor left the site.

The bridge is said to have been reflected in this 2016 Budget with hope that something tangible would be done to construct the bridge.
All the several efforts made by The AUTHORITY to speak with the management, including the Managing Director of Julius Berger Construction Company, Mr. Wolfgang Goetsch, on why work was stopped on the project, proved abortive.
Some stakeholders, however, claimed that the construction giant abandoned work immediately President Buhari took over the mantle of leadership about 10 months ago, following a presidential directive that work at the site should discontinue.
An employee of the firm (name withheld) who claimed he was recruited in April 2014 at the site of the bridge, admitted that Julius Berger had stopped work at the project site since June 2015 due to non-funding by the Federal Government.
According to him, the company only did soil texture and property evaluation before leaving the site with almost all their working equipment.
“So, if the Federal Government is ever serious about the project, let it release the money for work to start,” he said.

Comrade Casmir lzukanne, who lives close to the project site, said: “We don’t know why they stopped work and we are not happy or feel comfortable with the Federal Government, because this is the only bridge that links the South East to other parts of Nigeria and it’s economic importance to our country cannot be quantified.”
The Campaign for Democracy (CD) was emphatic on President Buhari as it called on the Federal Government to mobilise to the site of the 2nd Niger Bridge to end the marginalisation of Ndigbo.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Dede Uzor A.Uzor, CD wondered why such a national project should be abandoned and politicised.

Other stakeholders in Onitsha, Anambra State asked President Buhari to direct Julius Berger to return to site to continue the construction of the Second Niger Bridge.
The President of the Amalgamated Association of Anambra Traders (AMATAS), Chief Okwudili Ezenwankwo and the Chairman, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) Nze Emeka Umeagbalasi, among others, called on Buhari to direct Julius Berger to return to site.
Ezenwanko said that he was hopeful that work would resume again at the site because he reliably gathered that the bridge was included in this year’s budget, which has just been passed by the National Assembly.
Chief Anigbata, who also said that the bridge was reflected in this year’s budget, expressed the confidence that Buhari will execute the bridge because of its strategic importance to Nigeria and Ndigbo.
He said that the Federal Government needs to put an infrastructure like the Second Niger Bridge on the ground to boost trade, commerce and agriculture.
But Umeagbalasi expressed doubt in Buhari completing the bridge, given his disposition towards the Ndigbo, saying that they are watching him closely.
He called on the Ndigbo, especially political leaders, rights activists and media practitioners to continue to mount pressure on the president so that he may have a rethink, even if he was not keen.

On their part, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Igbo monarchs and other stakeholders, called on the Federal Government, to as a matter of urgent national importance, resume work on the 2nd Niger Bridge.
The Coordinator of the Seven States Chairmen of Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), Mazi Alex Okemiri, said the suspension of work on the project stands tall among the injustices against the Ndigbo.
He said the project had become a huge fraud against Ndigbo by successive administrations in the country.
Ohanaeze said the abandonment of the project had seriously undermined and sabotaged economic activities in the South East geopolitical zone which is known for trade and commerce.

In the same vein, the Chairman of Umuahia North Traditional Rulers Council, HRH Philip Ajomiwe, called for the immediate resumption of work on the abandoned project.
He described the suspension of work on the project as “very shocking, painful and unbelievable”, considering the economic and strategic importance of the Niger Bridge to the Nigerian economy.

DuBLINGreenb:
Bubu will soon go first quarter of 2023.

You people should do and get your voters card so we can vote in who we will blame for all our problems in the next 4 years

Also, we should learn to see EVERY PROJECT as something done for NIGERIA not Something done for IGBOS OR YORUBAS OR SOUTH EAST OR NORTH

we should all celebrate the 2nd mainland bridge, we should all celebrate 4th mainland bridge we should all celebrate all the train stations and rail ways and the lekki deep sea port and Dangote refinery, we should celebrate or rather appreciate every development as Nigeria's development rather than Igbo development.

I can bet you that, we who are none Igbos will also use the second Niger bridge don't be surprised the first man to drive over it when it is completed may be an ibira man or gboko man.

My thoughts exactly.

The second Niger bridge should not be and never would be all about the Igbo's

As if only the Igbo's will be using the bridge when fully constructed.

The level of ignorance on this forum is just saddening. Lots of people who can't think right!

Don't mind him. He has forgotten that he is part of Bubu's 5% to be treated shabbily while Bubu's 97% are protected.

The daftest African President since Field Marshal Alhaj Dr Idi Amin Dada of Uganda.

Uzodimma will die a very painful death. .....stupid fool

USELESS ASSERTION. DID BUHARI BUILD THE BRIDGE WITH HIS MONEY? YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW THEY HAVE COME TO PERSONALIZE NATIONAL ASSET.

Golan007:


No, it should be free.

Yes it should, since fg are making so much noise about it and their is no toll gate in the NE and NW

What alternative road did they build in NE or NW?

Don't you think?

They drew it for 16 years. Abeg borrow sense

The people who call themselves leaders in the south East are real disgrace, just because of crumbs they will say any rubbish they ask them to say, they have been taunting with this second Niger bridge for the past 7 years, not that they are the ones that started it, even if it is a bridge that will connect the East and West directly it shouldn't take this long to complete.

So why are you all praising Obiano for building the airport?

Not like he used his personal money.

The Muhammadu Buhari Bridge was something the east clamoured and jostled for.

It was with much fanfare the day former President Goodluck Jonathan commissioned the drawing of the Bridge in 2014.

Tell this man to stop acting as an open ass hole... all governors are dancing to where the music from buhari is loud.
