There is no toll gate here but have toll gate at the second Niger bridge .....Nigeria and Igbos sha ...

No be where traffic dey toll go dey ..Once the road and the bridge begin sweet road users F.G go toll na

Dem no born IPOB, Fulani Herdsmen or Boko Haram well.

Wetin concern u and IPOB?!
Na Fulani go kee una finish

Where is the toll Plaza, as is on the second River Niger Bridge?. Free standard gauge rail for the north and Niger Republic. SE/SS, do you see how Nigeria is not working for the rest of you, and with your resources?.

ALFADOS:
THIS IS INJUSTICE THIS PARTICULAR BRIDGE WAS SURPOSE TO PASS THROUGH BAGANA IN KOGI NOT OWETO IN BUNUE BUT DUE DAVID MARK INFLUENCE AS SENATE PRESIDENT THEY SHIFTED TO BUNUE STATE, THERE'S GOD OOOH! THERE'S GOD

How is that even possible? Nassarawa does
not share borders with Kogi. If there's ever going to be a link bridge between Nassarawa and Kogi, there's no way it won't pass through Benue

They are a gazetted terrorist group.

Nonsense!
This is the reason northern Nigeria promptly goes to arms at the slightest question of the elongation of the fraud called Nigeria. How would anyone want to live with dishonorable misfits whose pedigree reeks of parasitism and dishonesty.

okine4real:
See bridge, them know put TOLL GATE OHH, but for East Niger, them put TOLL, Easterners open your eyes... Easterners are there own enemy.

How are the Easterners their own enemies?!
Or you just wake up to type nonsense!!

History555:
This bridge and adjoining roads is 182 km. 2nd niger bridge and adjoining roads is 17km. Yet this bridge and adjoining roads is cost 56 billion but 2nd niger bridge costs 175 billion

Also consider the space covered by water

Saga16:

In the zoo, yeah
Internationally, no

Fulani go exterminate all of una

Akwamkpuruamu:
Maybe they should worship Buhari as they expect Igbos to worship him for second Niger bridge

Don't mind the fools
I just blame our stupid governors
We could have built that bridge on our own within 5 years

Enddy50ty:
Nice one from the government but as usual, overpriced because of greedy and corrupt government officials.

This is one of the reasons why we need Peter Obi.
So before you pad any sort of contract, you must think twice about it.

To come package our money and enlarge his hero beer business with it.
Ruling Nigeria no be like ruling Anambra where everybody dey drink hero beer ooo!

Una too talk! Haba, na only Anambra people get airline for Nigeria?... make una rest na

TO BE HONEST, ONE OF THE WORKING MINISTER OF BUHARI REGIME IS FASHOLA.

Lazyreporta:


OK, still, how did you conclude others won't be tolled bro? And is the east bridged tolled currently? Like are they paying

To get clarity of what I said u should read the message I was responding to and read my exact words. I was not saying anything out of certainty cos I have not plied both routes neither do I have any official information as to the reason for anything

You know your explanation makes no sense ...how would north have less population down south

mrvitalis:

You know your explanation makes no sense ...how would north have less population down south

It is not about population with legidisbenz that would determine tolling

Inasmuch as we have responsibility to demand accountability from government spending, we citizens too have our own part to pay. Are you a construction expert? Common sense demands that if you're building a bridge inside a large river, in a plain zone and another in the middle belt region which is mostly rocky, there will be great price differences. You need to factor the cost of relocation of people whose land is affected in the east alongside. I don't like the Buhari administration as much as you do, but let's be factual

I know you are vex with Nigeria it is understandable,but if they toll your bridge and you don't want it, they alternative way to resolve it.

I sincerely commend the president for his infrastructural initiatives across the country. He has done well in this area but failed in other sectors . I wish him well

Being ready to pay has never been the issue ..being treated differently in your country has been the main issue

So that means Lagosians are also treated differently because there was a toll gate in lekki and ikoyi for years and no one complained.

People with victim mentality can never move forward in life.

History555:
This bridge and adjoining roads is 182 km. 2nd niger bridge and adjoining roads is 17km. Yet this bridge and adjoining roads is cost 56 billion but 2nd niger bridge costs 175 billion

From an Engineering and Project Management perspective, it is possible for two projects to look similar on the surface, but far apart in terms of cost.

For example, A land may cost the same amount in the swampy part of Lagos and rocky part of Abuja, but the construction cost will be different. While one contractor is still sand-filling, waiting for soil settling and foundation settling, the other contractor may have achieved a lot of construction progress. The difference in terms of cost and time due to these variables is huge.

Drilling a borehole in some areas may cost just about 250K, cost could be 2X,3X,4X,5X or more in other areas depending on the sub-surface (soil) . The aim is to get clean underground water, but the difference in geographical location have added variables that make the cost different. If your aim is to drill a bore hole to an aquifer source, the cost could run into hundred of millions.

Most road projects in the Niger Delta vs the Northern part of Nigeria are far apart in terms of cost, for example, a road of the same kilometer may cost NGN 1 billiion in Kano while it may cost NGN 3 - 4 billion in Bayelsa for the same kilometer or even lesser kilometer. The difference most times is what needs to be done in the substructure (foundation and below) to make the project last long. In most cases you have to do a lot of sand-filling and soil remediation in swampy places like the Niger Delta and Lekki for you to achieve the desired load bearing capacity of the soil, you most likely will not need to do this in the Northern part of Nigeria.

Given the foregoing, comparing the cost of Loko-oweto bridge and Second Niger bridge without the details of the projects is likely to lead to a cost estimation error, because it is based on generalization of two projects that are different in details.

4th mainland should be next... Lagos Ikorodu

Agboconsult1:
Weldon to the fed. Govt. But hope the roads leading to the bridge is in good condition. The last time I past there, it was hell with dust.

All the road have been completed

That's state imposed ...the revenue goes to the state used by the state .... second Niger bridge toll revenue goes to the federal government, shared by the 37 States n fct

Yet same south east have the least federal projects

On the contrary, Obi will rather save the money in the bank and do nothing.
By the time he leaves office, Nigeria might have cleat all her debts with billions in foreign reserves but the country must have gone half a century back in terms of development.
