I would suggest to the government to put a 1meter clearance barrier at 500m before the bridge. A bell/alarms and visual lighting alerts should come up to indicate that if you hit the barrier, you will hit the bridge.

Actually, all drivers are also suppose to know the vertical heights of the vehicle they are driving.

You really don’t research, you just hear calabar you didn’t even know when, how and what time.

Lagos has been capital even before independence mr Man. It should be massive with beautiful architectures, all streets, roads tarred and lights everywhere. Common, other governors are idiots too, we know, but Lagos should set world class standards, not mediocre ones, and praised when they do half baked roads by supporters who haven’t been to benin republic before.

My parents dey Lagos, some of my properties dey Lagos, I stay Lagos, I japa first from Lagos, I know Lagos in and out, na we hustle for Lagos, from Ogba to fagba, to Mende, to onigbongbo to to iju ishaga, akiode, ojodu, Omole and so on, we hustle. I love what lee did to Singapore, Deng did to china,

Don’t be emotional, we need leaders like that, we have not seen one. Don’t be tribalistic and emotional. It’s time all youths speak one language and demand our Singapore, demand our renovated China, we be mate, but them don leave us. Corrupt leader in China, na death sentence same as Japan, suicide, etc, we need a wonderful country. Nigeria leaders are horrible, you read my comments I mention others are idiots not only Lagos but you lack comprehension to understand it’s all about us and the future of our kids. Do they dem selves have to japa. Only entertainment dey give men money now with who Dey do tech. Farming Wey them suppose pump money. Nothing.

Waiter, warehouse worker, plumber, electrician, Dey earn to eat well and buy car, take vacation for here. You don’t just understand the GDP per capita of Lagos is poor, GDP PER CAPITA OF Nigeria IS POOR. The whole nation, you see rich people in Nigeria, na just small percent.

China with 1.4 billion population is having gdp per capital of over 12k dollars, Nigeria 2k, Ghana even plenty pass us, India with billions of people same, when we go think.

plumber can stay where ministers dey stay for here. A waiter can stay where bank director dey stay for here. Equality.


It’s better we leave tribe, emotions, it’s my Lagos, it’s your Lagos, religion aside and speak one voice.


If it took lee of Singapore, Deng of China. One man. Then Nigeria can be turned around.

This was not because of materials. It was caused by the bad judgement of the driver
So who should suffer it, the bridge or the truck? I've said it, those pedestrian bridges don't look durable. The person I told said I was wrong. Well, time will tell. I love ambode for his constructive mind, but the truth I must say.

What is the width of a pedestrian bridge?
They are used by people on foot only, so, they are not same with real bridges that convey vehicles. It is a pedestrian bridge for people to cross busy street not a flyover.
The foundation you make for a bungalow is different from that of a storey building.

Sorry I didn't know movies aint real.

Oga you cannot even compare the light rail with the light rail in Casablanca. With the statis of Lagos it is a shame that Lagos cannot stand with Cape Town, Casablanca, Dakar, Marrakech, Tangier and several cities that are not capitals, and you are here talking about other states who never enjoyed the kind of infrastructure boom Lagos had from colonial era, to the oil boom of the 70s and till now.

Stop making reference to states in Nigeria. Look at the fellow contemporaries of Lagos who were already small and undeveloped at the time Lagos was a metropolis, it is a shame that Lagos cannot even stand up to their suburbs more so their city centers.

We re not talking about outside contemporaries oga, besides, why don't other states in the country be the contemporaries, why should you bring in outsiders?

Oga other states cannot be contemporaries because they never experienced the same massive investments that Lagos experienced from 60s to the oil boom of the 70s and the 80s onwards. Please fear God and stop lies.
