Seriously, you are a real fool. Is this not Totoro Road where the wonderful "airconditioned" Bridge is going to be? Does it look any different from a battlefield for poverty? Who needs an airconditioned bridge to cross any road, talkless of one that looks as much a witches playground as that one?

What a wicked, thieving fool! angry


Please go and sit down. You are once again exposed as a class A m.or.on with your im.becilic submission that a Country with cold weather for perhaps 8 months out of 12 , with more of an interest in heating than cooling, should provide the lead for a Nation with arid conditions for almost 12 months. You cannot even deduce logically valid comparisons a 6 year old can work out. What is proof you just argue for the sake of it other than the nonsense you write below?

If there is no airconditioned bridge in London, rich as it is, why should there be one anywhere in Nigeria where shocking poverty is rife?


This is all you do these day. Go around derailing threads and preventing positive discussions with your bellicose Olodo submissions that is limited to fighting folks via creating stupid argument to say B when they say A. What have you done here if not made a fool of yourself? This is why, everywhere and on every thread, all you get is insults from everyone. Shameless ode.

Gbawe, are you looking for more infor to support or go against the air conditioned bridge? Whatever might be the info you are looking for can not make this this bridge a right project.

Am not sitting at the fence as you feel rather i see no good in any of the side.

This is what some of you are about on this forum. I.e stupidly sitting on the fence indicting everyone of "hypocrisy" because they don't join you to condemn everything and everyone. Clearly you are one of the losers here who contribute nothing and never bothers to read the posts of others. When I have written clearly as I do below, you are only displaying prejudice and a mindless stereotyping of others with your silly insinuation that I endorse this. Is asking you to look for more information not to your own benefit? Do you want to always speak/act out of ignorance like an uncouth savage?

What is all this noise about weather condition, people walk and work inside the sun and rain everytime, they'll only spend 3-5mins on the bridge depending on the distance and how fast the person is, then they'll return back to the sun or rain or whatever, so what has weather got to do with this.

My brother, learn to ignore the imbecilic m.o.r.on. What is the point responding to a dull.ard who writes what we see below without factoring climate challenges into his thinking:



Even the slowest of r.etards knows that the UK does not share climatic conditions with Nigeria. In fact comparing the UK's climate to that of Nigeria is like comparing night to day. The olodo is not bright enough to see that the UK spends inversely far more assuaging the discomfort of climate by heating trains and public places. It is clear, some in their haste to oppose others, fail to engage their brain before speaking. The UK has more need for heating than cooling. The opposite is true for Nigeria.

The Countries we do share climatic conditions with use air-conditioned footbridges also and , unless costs and total scope of projects are enumerated, we are only pandering to ignorance shouting here. I would personally like to gain more information about the project in its entirety before commenting either way.

This is ur answer:

sheyguy: The whole idea of a bridge like this in a state where we saw pics of infrastructurally deficient primary school not too long ago on NL is the most stupid thing i ever heard of. We are not in Asia or Califonia where temparature gets as high as 50 degree celcius yet, our immediate need in Nigeria and Ogun state in particular still remains power food, healthcare and education.

U r sounding lyk a broken record already.

The worst part is that from the video I have posted, the road does not even need a pedestrian bridge. Traffic is quite light on it and zebra crossings would do just fine. Zebra crossings are just paint (a few thousand quid only).

What we have here is very dangerous poverty of imagination and very likely, a nake'd lounge at the "cookie jar."

My guy, you have begun your personality-centred rant again? Show where I defend this project or give absolute endorsement of it. If I don't join you to condemn and damn conclusively, that does not mean I support this. This would be clear to you, at least here, if all your responses are not centred around just blindly opposing certain posters from one thread to the next like a petty scorned woman.

salakobaba: The Ogun State Government on Monday announced its plan to construct the first pedestrian bridge in Abeokuta , the state capital. Governor Ibikunle Amosun says the bridge will be air-conditioned.
The bridge will be built around the famous Ibara roundabout of the ancient town, and is expected to reduce traffic congestion and accidents at the ever busy junction.
Mr. Amosun made the disclosure while commissioning the 2.5km Ibara-Ita-Eko road in Abeokuta which gulped a total of N1.3bn

Once again, this is the mischief you display time and time again that shows you are one of those who contribute not based on what is written but according to opposing/siding with certain posters. My talk of weather is in response to the nonsense below you had no comment about:

If there is no airconditioned bridge in London, rich as it is, why should there be one anywhere in Nigeria where shocking poverty is rife?

My talk about weather is to highlight how the argument above is totally stupid. Obviously you don't have a problem with it because it is submitted by one of your co-travellers in mischief.

Naturally, London's focus will be more to do with heating being a generally cold City for much of the year. Why should anyone then ask a Nigerian State to take its cue from London considering the entirely different climatic challenges of both?

Are you as stupid as the i.di.ot who submitted the above not to know that London spends a massive amount heating public places throughout the year thereby nullifying the silly argument of your 'pal'? That is my point. The weather dictates that London spends on heating, most months of the year, and not air-conditioning. This, the City indeed does. Weather challenges also means Nigeria can do the opposite if funds and priority allow i.e spend on cooling to keep citizens comfortable. Seriously, you guys are ruining this forum with how you go around opposing others routinely from thread to thread without engaging your brain or comprehension skills.

Gbawe:
Usually, some pedestrian bridges are totally enclosed for safety reasons especially when they link malls and or buildings. If the design decision is that an enclosed footbridge works best, then it must be cooled also. I am not saying I support this but we should not condemn it routinely either without knowledge of the entire scope of the project.

Enclosed airconditioned footbridges , such as that seen below, are common and can be a design/architechural neccessity in relation to what will be linked. We just don't know enough to be entirely negative.

And the award for obdurate obfuscating hypocrisy goes to. . .Gbawe of NL. This post is another typical example of the crap you post. grin grin grin

Can't you just admit you are wrong for once and move on? Where have I said there is anything "laudable here"? In fact I make it clear that unless this is in response to specific design/built environment challenge targets, then this is a total waste of money. This is a classic display of i.diocy and carrying around bad belle needlessly. We are not saying different things and you only just conclude we are because of your inability to view what some write on an individual basis.

[size=18]POMP AND PAGEANTRY[/size]

Gov. Amosun spend N1.3b to [size=15]EXPAND[/size] and not construct a road of 2.4km

[size=15]Take Note of this![/size]

(a)  The road itself and the desirability of its expansion vis-a-vis its socio-economic significance.

(b) The number of kilometres involved in relationship with the cost of contract.

The stretch of road has no concentration of medium or big businesses. No concentration of Banks, Petrol Station, Government office, Hotel, entertainment outfit or edifice of note, and importantly, the road does not experience any major traffic gridlock to have warranted this luxury expenditure.

This is to say the
[size=15]expansion[/size] is a waste, undesired and a self serving initiative to siphon state funds; suffice it to say that his uncompleted mansion is located within the area.

Mathematically, [size=18]Amosun is constructing a kilometre for N500million![/size]

Is that development?

Daniel dualized 37km Abeokuta-Kobape-Siun-Sagamu road @ N52m per km for N1.93b
