The Niger Bridge more popularly referred to as the Onitsha Bridge is of Nigeria’s most economically crucial bridges. It was constructed between 1964 and 1965, and it was commissioned in December 1965.

The Bridge links the South-Western and the South-Southern region of the country to the South-East. The Bridge has its two ends both in Asaba, Delta State and Onitsha, Anambra state.

Apart from being host to one of the largest marketplaces in all of West Africa, Onitsha also happens to be the gateway to the densely populated eastern region.

So, prior to the construction of the famous Onitsha Bridge in 1966, how were people traveling to the East?

Well, in the early 1960s, travels across the river Niger to the eastern part of Nigeria was achieved with the means of river ferries of various sizes.

Below are photographs of showing travelers at the jetties and landing points at Asaba end of the river in 1961.

Keep waxing strong man, more akpu to your belly.

Ereolamide:
Don't be delusional Bro, it was you fellow tribesmen that pronounced Lagos as Yoruba's.

I actually believe it belongs to Igbos.

Ereolamide:
Thank you for the kind but unsolicited words of concern. Can you stop hyperventilating now?

So Lagos belongs to Yorubas, really, do you mean that or you're still in the haze of anger?

[s]You get a high from peddling these stories don't you? For every single Igbo man living in Ikoyi, there are 6 more Yoruba men as well as 3 more Northerners living there. Try not to kill yourself over another man's property, inugo? And try to reduce the amount of lies, you keep recycling online. It paints you in a bad light.

Where is the proof that Sir Louis Odumegwu ojukwu was the first Nigerian to acquire property in ikoyi, after the colonial masters left? He had property there, but he was not the 1st Nigerian to do so. As for saying Igbo people have more property in Banana Island or VGC than any other ethnic group, unless you have done a survey or a census to prove this, it means you are just lying.[/s]

Odkosh:
That law really pain una Igbo wella. Infact, may God bless lasg for this. Slave like yoi people will remain slave forever.

bakynes:
[s]I don't know if I need to remind Igbos that Places in Lagos are named in Yoruba. Places like Ikorodu,Epe,Isolo,Ajegunle,Alimosho,Amuwo-odofin,Ipaja,Agege,Surulere etc. Or do I need to remind them each of these places have an Oba or a Baale, they perform traditional festivals and are recognized by the Lagos State Ministry of Chifetaincy affairs.

When you enter Lagos through the Border with Ogun state, you see a statue of 3 white cap Chiefs called "the Idejo Chiefs" Lagos is right inside Yoruba Land Bordered from all angles by Ogun state. You have to pass through nothing less than 3 Other Yoruba states to get to Lagos.

Or do I need to remind the Igbos that the Lagos state Civil service, Judiciary,Government at State and Local level,Commissioners,Ministries,Agencies and Parastatals,House of Assembly is controlled by Yorubas. Whatelse do you need to be reminded to tell you Lagos is Yoruba land. [/s]
