Doyin Okupe shares shocking revelations about Second Niger Bridge

Quoting Chidi Cali, a Facebook user, in a post entitled: “GEJ, Buhari & The People,” Okupe said,

[1] The Bridge is NOT Being Constructed by the FGN.
[2] It’s a PPP Project which the FGN contributes a tiny fraction.

[3] The 2nd Niger Bridge Will Cost about N117 billion.

[4] Started in 2013 and should have been completed in 2017, but worked stopped for 31 months. Completion date Not certain now.

[5] FGN share of the Cost is N30billion. Jonathan through the Sure-P paid N21.2billion (71%) including N7billion for the completion of preparatory work (
6] 38% of the work has been done as at Jan 2015.
[7] The N140b Oshiomhole said was wasted on Admin cost on the bridge was a lie, as admin cost will not be higher the to cost of the whole project.

[8] Buhari’s Govt Paid N2billion NOT $2billion as Osinbajo said during the Anambra state election. They will be paying another N3.05 when 2018 budget is approved.

[9] Work has restarted in earnest at the site and about 5%-7% has been completed bring the total completed work to about 43% to 45% according to an engineer I spoke to
10] All the pictures flying all over the internet are pictures of work-in-progress made during the 1st quarter of 2015.

[11] In summary Jonathan Govt have paid 71% of FGN share of the cost, While Buhari’s govt has paid 6.1%.

[12] Julius Berger, the Major Contractor and Construction company will put Toll Gate on Completion of the Bridge to cover their cost.

[13] The Construction Company is Funding the Project and the People using the Bridge will bear the cost via Toll Charges.

[14] The real People building the Bride are Nigerians that will use the Bridge, as they will REPAY the cost to Julius Berger.

[15] For those celebrating Politicians and sharing old or fake pictures of 2nd Niger Bridge, the #Facts are Not on your side

If this is what you heard and believe then good luck to you but you can find out on google how all this projects are been financed. Am not talking about previous paper arrangement. Buhari government pay 2billion?

luvinhubby:
Stop lying shamelessly in public, Goodluck Jonathan took a ride on that rail line weeks before his handover.
The 2nd Niger bridge you people are all over the net lying about was started in2013 & was suspended for 1 yr by Buhari till 2016 alongside the Lagos--Ibadan expressway to "review" the contract.

Jonathan borrowed the fund from China for Lagos-Ibadan rail project before he was voted out of power. You people will not stop amazing us.

Takeproft:
Jonathan served for 6 Years, within the last few years of his tenure, he made the importance of this bridge known and put in a lot of efforts, putting all modalities in place to make sure the bridge gets completed in his second term. Now Buhari is there for more than 7 years and still can't finish a simple bridge that was started by previous administration including funds already disbursed for?

Is either most of you are not informed or just not happy with the progress made on infrastructure. Which modalities? Do you know how the bridge is being funded? How much is entire infrastructure project during GEJ. Their thousands of projects without no concrete source means of funding. If there's any reason am voting APC it's because of their visible infrastructure projects on road,rail, airports and military.

That's Lasgidi health centre for you but in some states it's called general hospital. Edo no be Lagos.

Tinubu is excellent

fatherjesse:
To deceive who, end SARS still in the minds of the youth?

We have different reason to vote. Am not voting base on End SARS. You gerrit?
I don't know when Tinubu is a president after burning his properties unjustly. Am voting for him because of how he was treated.

Theunbothered:
Question, are you from the North?

Too myopic to answer

Iamchivic:
Social media is never our problem. They are other things in Nigeria that needs urgent fixing, not social media.

It's a problem. Very big one.

pegix:
E be things

Me sef don emerge new face of yoruba

I hope you will dress like a Yoruba not like a foreigner?

Cantonese:
If GEJ's government had this tight approach to social media, would APC have won the election in 2015?

We can not for get all the abuses and reckless use of words against GEJ and his wife.

We know that this regulation will haunt them too.

You are talking trash. Is APC want to rule forever? Social media suppose to be regulated long ago.

Castingcrown:
The level of tribalism on nairaland is alarming

I hope they don't get banned one day. Instead regulating nuisance behaviours. This platform is making people hating each others more and more.

The best is to save up, invest and be an employer of labour..... None is worth it in the long run.

Categories of people Buhari is praying for.

Armaggedon:
Oil was not first discovered in oloibiri in present Bayelsa, it was first discovered in a town called Iho, dimeze in present Ikeduru LGA of IMO in 1937. Almost 20yrs before Oloibiri.

According to history and what we learnt in the school, Oil was first discovered in commercial quantity in Oloibiri. If you want to re-write history you can do.

You don't fine pass me, forget it.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Lagos has been rich before Tinubu was born, if not Tinubu would have made his Osun state richer

Be deceiving yourself. Lagos is Tinubu and Tinubu is Lagos.

NaijaRoyalty:
They said Tinubu worked at Mobil ok agreed, how much was his total earnings all through the months he worked at Mobil

Tinubu should be cooling off in jail right now

If Tinubu can make Lagos richer why won't make himself wealthier?

Michelle70:
wetin Nigerian govt do for this one na?

If Dangote invests in this now, you will start complaining. We lack ideas and don't want to take risks. We love free money too much. Billionaires are not ready to invest in manufacturing they don't even have Idea in d 1st place, once they buy stocks and start catching out they don't send anybody. They are alot of money giving out by CBN, NIRSAL/Bank of industry to support businesses.

Na "who" humbled me. Throughout the exam I couldn't remember.

johnmartus:
Look like a photoshop.

It's a pure photoshop

Edo no be Lagos.

Sanwo Olu is okay.

For the the fact dat you dropped out and it works for you doesn't mean it will work for others. Millions make it through education than music. Don't discourage those that choose education as their career. Dangote, Adenuga, bill gate, BUA, Tinubu, Ogunlesi, Otedola, all CEOs of banks all of them are graduate and you're not close to them atall. Learn how to inspire youths.

Olumighty123:
Thank you sodiq, you played well

See Nigeria winning

Very unintelligent comment. Even if not saving forex, landing cost, more than 80% of chemicals use in Nigeria industrues would be cater for, employment and so on. Even if Nigeria is doing well, most of you will still annoying.

Dikaveli:
Nonsense na south dey buy all her products

Are they forcing you to buy? You can decide to import your own.

They hold on to PDP because of their elites that are direct beneficiaries. The rich control d poor. To make it worst those people have conquered the way they think with all sorts of lies and hatred. To be sincere, I have never seen people so much tribalistic than Igbo and it's because of the same elites who had planted numerous contorted lies and fake mentality into their brain. Have worked with Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba and all ethnics nationalities. To see one liberal igbo then u must have met 1000 of them.

Mrkumareze:
Even to the airport Oga Travel small and see how things work. Stop promoting this entity that has no regards for its citizens. We need a working nation unfortunately its not coming anytime soon.

Funny thing is dat we hate Nigeria more than her enemies. How can you grow with that? Not everything is bad in Nigeria but we focus on negative side
