thegeniusmedia:
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that the pedestrian bridge at Alapere has just collapsed

According to eyewitnesses, the Pedestrian Bridge at Alapere Estate Bustop which collapsed was hit by a crane

Pclemenza:

That is why there should be factors(such as height of vehicle, spanning and deflection, live load etc) considered when designing structures. This is not good for a state with bragging rights like lagos.

Geo4646:



Hope no life was lost, that's important thing, lagos state would the crane company would be fine.

This was not because of materials. It was caused by the bad judgement of the driver

Rivers, delta state that has the capacity to compete lagos but are busy sharing money amongst themselves should not be compared with Lagos?
Federal government give them huge allocation and yet many abandon project in those state.
Lagos is on the right track, with massive demolition and locking of event centers, very soon many houses in rural areas will be marked for demolition and many sub standard market shut down for reconstruction.. market like alaba int market. I hope you wont come here to scream government are wicked! bla.. bla bla.

They don’t sorry, and they can’t sorry.

Lagos can’t be compared, never and ever will it be.

You know how many businesses in Lagos ? The port, obasanjo closed all and left only Lagos in 2000, the headquarters of 90 percent companies,

You can’t compare, be logical not emotional please.

bibelo:

The bridge isn't low ,I have been there and drive through that spot a lot, the truck must have miscalculated by underestimating the height of it's load instead of using a low flatbed truck. I witnessed one truck damage a pedestrian bridge coming from the apapa port years ago.its not everyone driving a vehicle has their brains intact.

Obasanjo closing port did not bring Lagos to its present state. Visionary leaders did it. The reason those state are not comparable to Lagos is because they allow militant chase investors out.
