Another avenue for more corrupt practices.

What d fffffff

H.mmmm

Igbos should be talking more on removing this old discrepit bridge that brings back horrible memories of Nigeria/ Biafra's sordid past. I have known this bridge since I was a child and have crossed it uncountable times but i never knew about it's notorious history. Just posting this topic has further excercebated those horrible old ethnic wounds and it seems like we are once again rekindling and stoking the fire of hatred and resentment here in Nairaland. The blood of fallen soldiers and innocent civilians who fought on both sides to defend this bridge will always cry for justice. That's the shocking reality of the failures that still make our nation ungovernable. There is nothing in the anals of igbo history (wether igbo from mid Western region or those of the Eastern regions or of Nigeria as a whole) that promotes the legend of what this bridge portends to the present and future generations in retrospect in building a people who are forgiving and caring and more importantly, have love for each other regardless of tribal, religious or etnic boundaries.

Officialgarri:
This bridge was commissioned by the then Prime Minister late Alhaji Tafawa Balewa and opened for traffic in December 1965... barely 15 days after, The same Balewa was assassinated by the people he commissioned the bridge for.

Two years later, the same people destroyed what was built for them.

Who's is "them" and who are you?

This is why there is so much problem in this God forsaken country. Too much blood crying from the ground.
