LINSAR:
Thank you.
I hope I don’t meet the one who will shatter myself esteem😁

That can only happen if you let it. Don't

LINSAR:
Thank you.

But you didn’t advise me as a woman. Virtually all the advice I received are from men, I’ll want to know what the average woman thinks if you don’t mind.

I honestly don't know what the average woman thinks about this. In my opinion, I don't think you should worry so much. Just find a woman who genuinely loves you. Be kind to her and that's about it

True but Wike is a much bigger threat whose past and current actions have plunged this country into despair

LINSAR:
Thank you for taking time to pull these up.

But then, the average african man has an average size larger than all these measurements.

Secondly, I lived with boys and now men, I can tell you that I haven’t seen anyone small like me.

You seem to be a medical doctor. If you won’t find it intrusive and disturbing, I can avail pictures to you privately.

Uwc. Unfortunately this is not my area of specialty. My advice will be to see a doctor who is an adult endocrinologist. Cheers

Hmmmm. What is your stretched penile size (SPL)? Pay attention to the word stretched. Measure it and compare to these images attached to this post (culled from researches conducted in diff countries since I can't find one for Nigeria). If it is within normal, please don't bother yourself

folake4u:
I'm telling you. He's not even a medical doctor.

It's terrible.

Originalsly:
Thanks for the research .... who to blame? These two paragraphs sums up everything! They knew it was risky ...but .... was worth taking. I guess they will rebuild ... maybe with a breakaway for when it happens again. There is really a need for that bridge ... I believe it's worth the risk.

Uwc. I belong to a different school of thought. The risks are way too high. I imagine they also had this debate before building the bridge.

Oh well, I enjoyed the discussion concerning this. I wish them well in their investigation. I hope they find a solution to this geological quagmire without anyone executed for mistakes made knowingly or unknowingly. Fingers crossed

Just got an alert from twitter on this subject matter. The comments will interest you. Apparently, the engineers in the group arrived at the same conclusions that I did and some suggested that someone will definitely be 'unalived' for this. Go figure

BREAKING: 758-metre-long Hongqi bridge collapses in southwest China, months after opening pic.twitter.com/5XPidizPaG

— Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) November 11, 2025

Originalsly:
No doubt... seems it didn't matter if the soil was sand ... clay or rock ... neither did the magnitude of the building .... as long as the materials were not substandard. No surprise the building collapsed.

By the same logic ...doing all the necessary tests ... this case is different. Bear in mind ... this was more than a landslide ..it was like a mini earthquake with mountain shifting. What test should they have possibly done to avoid this? Besides getting the soil etc...I would fault them if the bridge was built at a point where there was a history of landslides ... in which case the location would've been a bad one regardless of soil. Nature is unpredictable.... there is nothing we can do to avoid it nor prevent damages.

And that's ok if that was the case but I am not an engineer neither do I want to do a literature search now on the climatic changes that happens in that region. The point is that every factor both present and future should have been considered and measures put in place to mitigate the effect.

Tell you what, let us put this to rest. Give me a moment to do a quick research on the environmental changes that happen in that area. If I can get some answers in the next few mins then someone is culpable.


My findings from Chatgpt with references

Quick Summary on the Hongqi Bridge Collapse (Sichuan, China):

The region where the Hongqi Bridge was built is naturally one of the most landslide-prone areas in China. The mountains there have steep slopes, deep weak rock layers, heavy rainfall, and frequent small earthquakes. Because of this, sudden slope failures can happen without warning — even when engineers carry out soil tests and surveys.

Research confirms that Aba Prefecture has hundreds of slow-moving and high-risk landslides due to its terrain and geology
(Ren et al., 2025): https://doi.org/10.3390/rs17081462
and strong links between the region’s seismic activity and slope instability
(Shao et al., 2023): https://geoscienceletters.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s40562-023-00307-5

The bridge itself didn’t collapse because of weak materials. What failed was the mountain slope beside it. Many landslides in the area begin deep underground with no surface cracks or visible warning signs, so they’re extremely hard to detect beforehand.

Why build there at all?
Because that route is one of the only possible pathways linking central China to the Tibetan plateau. The terrain is so rugged that engineers often have no alternative but to build bridges, roads, and tunnels through risky areas. The choice is usually between building there — or having no connection at all.

Who is to blame?

If the early surveys showed danger and it was ignored → engineers or planners are at fault.

If the slope appeared stable and showed no warning signs → it’s more of a natural event that exceeded human prediction.


Based on what is known so far, it looks more like an unexpected deep-slope collapse rather than a straightforward engineering error. The final investigation will determine whether there was any negligence.

So in summary, there was a 50:50 chance that this project would fail which is crazy considering the vast resources invested in it.

Someone must have guaranteed a lower risk of a landslide affecting the bridge or on the flip side, the risks were clearly spelt out and they still decided to go ahead with it. Either way, somebody must definitely answer to this

So much misinformation in one post. SMH

pocohantas:
You guys are still insulting this one that said she cannot marry old man?

I give up!!

. Man is insatiable

Nefort:
It was stated that a landslide caused the bridge to collapse. In this case nobody will be executed.

Unless that landslide is happening for the first time in a century, someone should be punished for not taking into account that a landslide could happen leading to this degree of damage to a multi million project

Nefort:
China executes criminals and corrupt people. China will execute the engineers who constructed the bridge if they are found to be corrupt and intentionally did a poor job. But North Korea is reported to execute people over minor offences.

I agree. I alluded to this when I mentioned that someone out there would end up being executed. One does not go about executing someone for a failed project. You execute someone if he or she is culpable for a failed project and in this case, it is most likely the case.

Someone failed to do a proper job evaluating the terrain thus putting lives at risk and the nation in disrepute.

EDGEof2MORO:
you are the only one that made a reasonable contribution against this topic besides the "made in china" nairaland drones.

Such an assessment could have been done and some unexpected changes will overwhelm your build. Remember mountain regions are very geologically active. Even in your favorite countries, their roads and bridges in the mountains collapse quite often, then they reassess and rebuild, if feasible or shutdown the road permanently, if not safe going forward.

True

Nefort:
China is not North Korea.

Are you certain about that?

MarkNsukkaBread:
The collapse of the bridge is was not due to a structural defect or substandard materials but due to impact from debris due to a landslide

On I read the piece and I stand by my statement

Like I said earlier, in my institution, we recently had a building collapse while it was still under construction. It wasn’t due to poor-quality materials; the real issue was that the land and soil structure were not suitable for a project of that size. The team leading the project was reprimanded for failing to consult a geotechnical expert before construction began.

By the same logic, for a bridge of this magnitude, one would expect that the surrounding land, rock formations, soil composition, and water bed would have been thoroughly assessed before any work started. Common sense demands that foundational studies like these must be done.

Originalsly:
I'm shocked .... how soooo many will read the headlines and jump to conclusions then rush to comment without reading the details. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the structure of the bridge that caused the collapse and regardless who built the bridge...the result would've been most likely the same.

Lexusgs430:
Those contractors would also need to collapse with the bridge, because they already know their destiny ended with that collapse.......

True

Someone is going to be executed for this. He or she failed to study the topography for such a sensitive project

Very embarrassing

Hmmm

My God..Is this how palm oil is made

No they are not. Why do you ask?

Host78:
lolz.

Google in your hand is not the same as Google in the hands of a doctor.

A paint looks ordinary but in the hands of a professional painter it's beautiful.

How you read health articles on Google won't be how a doctor does.

For a number of symptoms there are different diseases that could cause it. These are called differentials.

Sometimes you can pinpoint a particular disease just by looking at other times, you want to know as many differentials as possible.

Let doctors use chatgpt, Google and any other thing as much as possible please.

More information is always helpful when it comes to diagnosis. And treatment.

Doctors are also human. Their brain also fail them sometimes especially when you're coming to with something they've not treated anyone for in years.

Secondly, most of the patients can't even afford to go see a specialist.

Yeah it's sweet to say "refer to a specialist" on the internet.

In reality, doctors prescribe the cheapest antibiotics for most patents because they can't afford the best ones.

Our consultant once told us of a man who was ranting about being referred to a specialist.

He returned to the same doctor after getting to speak with the specialist on phone because in the end, he realized he couldn't even afford the bill to see him face to face.

I'm a medical student BTW.

All true. To add to this, getting the right doses for medications, checking their side effects, calculating metrics like GFR, BSA etc. The list is endless.

Host78:
your doctor googling stuff is actually a sign of a good doctor.

But ignorance no go let you understand

This. I prefer colleagues who tell me they don't know than those who claim to know it all. It's important to acknowledge your limitations, work on it or refer

Lovit:
Keloids can mess up even a scratch on your body

people barb their hair and get this if they are prone to keloids

so, before you blame doctor, think again.

Well said.

Keloid scars are out of the doctors hands

aribisala0:
Can you point me to where I can find that foreign wife story?

A quick search on the internet will point to a few sources. I came across this though which I found rather intriguing

AngelicBeing:
Karma flogs people based on what They deserve, some people receive 7, 70, 700 or 7 million strokes of the cane From MR KARMA and it depends on what They TRULY DESERVE ooooo

True.

AllBlack:
I am handsome sure that I am expecting you to educate me on this.

Lol. Tough luck then

Winnin009:
What do you have to say about the drug abuse?

I learnt from this whole saga that the foreign wife was once accused by Ned to be a drug addict. In addition, Ned's son was also reported to be a drug addict. Are you observing any pattern in this?

Notwithstanding, even drug addicts have basic rights. This whole case is so messy. I do hope they come to an amicable resolution and quickly too.

AngelicBeing:
You have spoken well, but you forgot to add that the mum nudge abi encourage her to go ahead with the marriage, l agreed that Regina was a child but her experienced mum in MATRIMONY should have dissuaded her from this kind of ANCESTRAL MARRIAGE to a Rich polygamous man that will definitely put a LEASH on Regina or control all her excesses, even when Reginas Dad disagreed with the whole marriage, the GREEDY MOM sholve the man aside and Karma is currently at work on all of them including NED, WHAT YOU SOW, you reap in MULTIPLE FOLDS.....na dem sabi ooooooooo

I agree. They all deserve their comeuppance but one is being unfairly punished in all of this.

AllBlack:
what exactly is stopping the VICTIM from taking NED to court?

What is stopping her entire angelic family, especially her mom, from dragging Ned to court?

This is just the beginning. She and her brothers will finally beg.

I am pretty sure you know the answer to this
