As soon as I saw the name, I knew that ethnicity must come into the discussion.

Construction started in 1979 during Shagari regime. It took 11 years to complete. It was completed by Ibrahim Babangida in 1990 and was commissioned the same year. I hope you are satisfied with the response?

So in which year was it constructed?

Phagyrhe:
2. Third Mainland Bridge

Do you know the official name of third mainland bridge? I bet many of you do not know it...lol. It is officially known as Ibrahim Babangida bridge. This particular bridge is the king of all bridges in Nigeria. When you talk about Lagos, you talk about this bridge. It is a vehicular bridge that link Lagos Island to the city mainland and was constructed by Julius Berger. The third mainland bridge, which is about 11.8km long, is the longest bridge in Nigeria and it is one of the three bridges linking the city. It took over 11 years to finish construction. The total cost of the bridge is unknown.

For six years, 1990-1996, third mainland bridge was the longest bridge in Africa. It was dethroned as king of Africa's bridges by the 22km long "6th October bridge" in Cairo, Egypt.

Please does anybody know why all arms of governments at all levels are yet to start patronising Innoson despite all their campaign about "Made In Nigeria" products?

Why do they prefer to import?

Shouldn't they be at the forefront of encouraging Nigerians to buy, by showing us examples?


Is the quality compromised? Or is it because, change begins with 'us'.

Literature › Re: Is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie The Most Influential Woman In Africa Right Now?- CNN by emeka2847: 1:56pm On Oct 24, 2016
"Most Influential" and "Most Powerful" are two very different things na

Chudichu:
Then why is Dangote one of the most powerful men in Africa? Been influential requires connection in place that matter, hold sway in serious places. Even our former minister of finance was once among the top most powerful people in the world. Adichie isn't exactly that popular in Africa as you say, although she has a voice, I also agree that sometimes connection isn't all this required to be influential. Like Beyonce and Co, but I think in Africa Adichie is still an upcoming name.

Literature › Re: Is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie The Most Influential Woman In Africa Right Now?- CNN by emeka2847: 6:37am On Oct 24, 2016
Please go and check. 'Most influential' is not about knowing big people, occupying big office or having western connections. It is about how many people have opinion about you, whether love or hate. It is about the discussions your statement or opinion can generate around the world. That's why Shekau was on the list a few years ago and people made so much noise about 'ojoro' by the West to promote Shekau. But at that time Shekau and BH were shaking the whole world.

At the moment, Adichie's name is everywhere. There are even many other women ahead of NOI sef. When last did you see NOI's opinion being discussed? When last did she make headlines?

Built2last:
How do this people arrive at this most influential this influential that.

21st century media na wash. 54 countries make up Africa. You say she is most influential. How did you arrive at that biko. Not hating. Am asking the media.

If you say Ngozi okonjo iweala known by almost all heads of government in Africa. Known by all multinationals in Africa and still soaring at the global stage. Atleast she has an impeccable resume, I will understand but Chimamanda. ..naaa. she is still coming up.

Crime › Indonesia Passes Castration Law For Rapists by emeka2847(op): 8:38am On Oct 20, 2016
Indonesia's parliament has passed controversial laws authorising chemical castration, minimum sentences and execution for convicted paedophiles.

President Joko Widodo proposed the changes in May following the gang rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl.

The laws were subject to fierce debate in parliament, with two opposition parties voting against castration.

Human rights groups have objected to the punishments, arguing that violence will not be stopped by violence.

The Indonesian Doctors Association said administering chemical castration would violate its professional ethics and said its members should not take part.

'Harshest punishments'

The procedure entails injecting convicts with female hormones. It is used on sex offenders in Poland, South Korea, Russia, and some US states, among others. Prisoners in UK jails can volunteer for the treatment.

The new laws also allow judges to sentence paedophiles to death or tag them electronically, and applies a 10-year minimum sentence for child sex crimes.

Human rights groups including the National Commission for Women (NCW) criticised the laws and called for them to be re-evaluated each year to test whether they are a deterrent.

Azriana, the head of the NCW, said: "Other countries that have chemical castration have not seen a reduction in sexual crime against children. Also it's a very expensive procedure and what we should be spending and investing our money in is services to support and help the victims."

Dr Yohana Susana Yembise, Indonesia's Minister for Women Empowerment and Child Protection, said the administration was "praying" that the punishments "will have the desired effect".

She said: "Now we have the harshest punishments: the death penalty, life in prison, chemical castration, the public naming of perpetrators and the electronic chip. These are now law, so even if you hate the idea of them everyone now has to support this."

The punishments follow a number of high profile cases of child sexual abuse in the country.
