Does anyone have factual contrary evidence that the wooden bridge didn't cost up to that or it's just the mob mentality of condemning them all.

I have heard of someone in same Lagos who took a loan of 30 million Naira or so to construct commercial palo bridge.
I think Punch featured it.

So any genuine proof that 800k figure is overbloated?
It is always very pleasant to spot someone who uses his senses.

Nobody has bothered to know if it is really worth that amount. 800k NGN is not a high figure and woodwork can cost more than that. Besides he is a state legislator and can only work with whatever amount the state government gives to his office.

But the mob mentality of condemning politicians without thinking has reduced the IQ level of many.

it's mob mentality.
Headless mob. We don't think, we just follow the mob to criticize for criticiscm sake.

Roofing a house costs millions depending on the size, they think because it's wood it's not gonna be expensive.

One ediot even shouting looting. What is state assembly's allocation that they are expecting fly over on a road that is not motorable.

What they should be asking themselves is what are other state assembly members doing with their statutory allocations? Is it close to what Desmond Eliot has done for surulere?

Even if it costs more, any person who can brag about putting up that ‘suegbe’ bridge as a project is not worthy of representing the people.

Let’s stop celebrating mediocrity
can you show us what other members have done better?

Even in your own state, can you show us? I'm sure you don't even know the honorable representing your constituents.

But lets criticize cos others are criticizing.

If you are Yoruba, then you are not very wise.

This man is robbing your people to sustain his family in the US.

It's still the Yoruba people that will use that crappy bridge.

While the SE is using this elections to clean house, you people down west want to perpetuate corruption in the name of backward party politics.

Yes, in 2019 2/2 cost #100, 2/4 200 , 4/4 400, if you observed the bridge length, it's about 40 ft maximum, a single length of wood is between 14 and 16 ft, each will take 4 length x 4 giving 16, standing length is about 14ft by every 5ft gives 8 x the 2 sides is 16 altogether making 32 x 400 #12800, bridging with 2/4 per 5 ft gives 8 x 2 = 16 x 200 = 3200 plank = 800 width is 1foot, by 14 length of bridge 40ft assume 14 is 10 to accommodate wastages then 4 x 5 is 20 x 800 giving 16000, under beam with 4/4 for every 2 ft gives 20 x 5 = 100÷ by 14 let's call 14 10 for wastages giving 10, 4/4 at 400 = 4000

total = 12800+3200+16000+4000= 36000
Nails #5000, workmanship, 40000, sum total is #81000 as of 2019
That's the reason Desmond idiot called people that voted for him children, only children can accommodate his fraud and stupidity

Whatever Desmond Elliot deserves he will surely get from voters, I am not even from his constituency.

A house member from my constituency influenced streetlights and some road projects.

This same member grades the road in my estate regularly.

He doesn’t even make any noise at all.

People are already supporting him to get the reps ticket

It's possible that the bridge could go for that amount but the truth be told, Desmond idiat, sorry ediot. . Hmmmm Elliott (pardon me pls), the young man allowed power to becloud his promises of changing the narrative from ailing grandfathers to vibrant young chappies. He should pray not to be evicted from the house next weekend 🤔

influence but not from his allowance. Does that make it his project?
Other projects state government did in surulere, when are you going to give Desmond credits for them?

What's the name of your honorable?

How much is grading roads? Compared to building bridges?

Grading your area once in bluemoon is now bigger than building actual bridge.. mind you, that's not the only project demsond did in his constituency.


I don't know Desmond Elliot or do I care about him or his consistency. But you headless mob have made him a victim of his own success.

He showed what he has achieved with his limited resources, even though you can't present anyone actually close to him in terms of success, but you still want to criticize for flaunting his success.. when he could have just gone to the assembly and continue to act like everyone else.
Be silent and continue to pocket the the assembly allowance and just join the right party every election cycle to get elected again.

Like headless mobs voting LP top to bottom.
I'm sure if Desmond Elliot had decamped to LP before election, the narrative wouldnt be that he didn't perform.

That small wooden bridge shouldn't be anywhere 200k as at when it was constructed, oga rep don inflate the constituency project by 5x

With the economy now that wood is now like x3 or x4 of what it was then when it was done, 150k (including the cost of constructing the wooden bridge) will do a decent job.

you still haven't showed what your state assembly member did to prove Desmond didnt try.

Do you expect state assembly member to build flyover or something?

Perhaps if you show us the bridge your state assembly member built that is not mediocre, we can then compare it to what Desmond Eliot built.

But since you don't have anyone that you can present that has actually outperformed him, can you simply shut the fhuck up now?

Thank you
