Chairman no be vex when other vehicles are passing on the bridge refuse to use it until 2024 abi? shikena

chrisooblog:
Please do and when you get to the other side tell everyone that you were not able to use the bridge because 'you're waiting for the project to be completed in 2024'

[color=royalblue]Relax naa

You seem not to understand what they are saying, maybe because you can't relate with the areas and names

When I send you the pictures, you'll tell us how the project is finished[/color]

chrisooblog:
Still using project to cover your weak argument. Bridge is complete. Commuters will use it accessing link roads pending completion of the main access roads but know you're bothered about 2024 when bridge is ready in 2022

It's ok bro do you lol


“The second phase of the project has yet to commence, but the government has deemed it fit that upon completion of the first phase, it will be open to traffic.

“At the Onitsha end, there is an interchange at Oba, where you can access the bridge, and on the Asaba end, there is a link road we are constructing to enable travellers to access the bridge from the Benin-Onitsha road.”

[color=royalblue]Your argument is really strong.

God helping me, I would use that bridge in December (Even though I have no business there), so I can show you what they mean.[/color]

chrisooblog:
Thank God you admit the bold even though the guy you quoted mischievously said the BRIDGE won't be completed until 2024.

I quoted excepts where the federal controller said the bridge will be ready by december for commuters to start using it accessing other link roads pending the completion of the second phase, you've shifted goal post now to 'finished project' lol.

[color=royalblue]The project is not complete.

You haven't said anything about the 2024.

If I use your standard, Buhari is going to use his complete 8 years and won't still be done with the project.

So is it fair to drag him, using your byelaws?[/color]

Are you joking?

Oshodi where hoodlums murdered a military man and left his body on that same pedestrian bridge in broad daylight only last year?


https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-west/462750-unrest-in-oshodi-over-alleged-killing-of-air-force-personnel.html

Oshodi where LG Chairman Aide was hacked to death openly at a birthday party in full glare of witnesses only a few weeks ago?

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/08/gunmen-kill-oshodi-lg-boss-aide-oguntulu-police-begin-investigation/

That same Oshodi?

Bruh you should be thanking God for preserving your life on a daily basis. Dont play yourself into thinking Oshodi can ever change. That place is the belly of the beast.

[color=royalblue]No wahala boss

I Don rest my case[/color]

chrisooblog:
Go and look at the post you quoted to tag me. The guy said Second Niger BRIDGE won't be ready until 2024 is that what the link said?

The link I showed you indicated commuters will be able to use the bridge and access other link roads.

“The bridge project is 95 per cent complete, and it is expected to be delivered by the end of December 2022, but there is a second phase, which is a 3.3-kilometre road approach on the Delta side and a 7-kilometre approach road on the Anambra side that is yet to commence.

“The second phase of the project has yet to commence, but the government has deemed it fit that upon completion of the first phase, it will be open to traffic”, he said.

He added that the bridge would be accessed from the interchange at Oba on the Onitsha-Owerri road, as a road was being constructed to connect traffic on the Asaba-Benin Expressway to it, pending the completion of the second phase.

He added that the bridge would be accessed from the interchange at Oba on the Onitsha-Owerri road, as a road was being constructed to connect traffic on the Asaba-Benin Expressway to it, pending the completion of the second phase.

[color=royalblue]You are saying what I am saying

The bridge itself is complete. The road to climb the bridge and come down is not done yet

So, I don't understand how you're forcing the government to say they have finished the project when they are clearly telling you it is not finished

That's not why I mentioned you sha. I just needed your input[/color]

[color=royalblue]Because of cat, dem pause game.

Hmmm[/color]

chrisooblog:
Make una try and be calming down sometimes.

The second link clearly said the whole project which include link roads will be fully completed by 2024 while the bridge will be completed and opened to traffic by December this year.

https://dailypost.ng/2022/10/03/2nd-niger-bridge-project-to-be-fully-completed-in-2024-fg/

[color=royalblue]You should have read the link, especially the 2nd one.

There is a 3km path to climb the bridge from Asaba. It has not commenced

There is a 7km path after you exit the bridge at Onitsha. it has not commenced

All these would be completed by 2024

They only promised to open the bridge by December. They did not tell you the project is completed[/color]

Dem don shift the completion date 4 d 2nd Niger Bridge to 2024!

Remember dey stopped work till further notice 4 d porthacourt-maiduguri rail line citing insecurity.


Abeg as a patriotic Nigerian, which project wey APC & PMB don complete 4 SE?

[color=royalblue]Chrisooblog, I need your input, please[/color]

nihilistjnr:
Notice or intervene?

Bruh the reason why nobody has challenged the story is because its Oshodi.

Even if the guy had added some ajasa and inserted machine gun wielding thugs, before an impossible rescue by the Dr strange and the avengers, it would still be plausible.

Fam it's Oshodi.

[color=royalblue]Bros, I don't know when you relocated, but Oshodi is not the Oshodi of then.

I once said I worked in a bank sometime. That bank was at Illupeju. So I move around Oshodi by 8pm.

It's difficult to pull that stunt in broad day light, without encountering security agents.

Under that bridge has been cleared...There are no parks there, and no habitation for touts.

Like I said, I may be wrong, but there are many reasons while it's hard for me to believe[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Not money
They have people that enter for free na
Have you been to fadeyi terminal before

[color=royalblue]No, I have not been to Fadeyi[/color]

BlueRayDick:
I didn't say they took him to Cappa, I only used that place to explain where I thought the issue happened going by his description in Ur initial post I quoted.

He said he was on pedestrian bridge and was beckoned at to come and he ran. He didn't state what direction he ran, but he mentioned being dragged into a BRT terminal. You posited that there's no BRT terminal where area boys are operating from in that axis and all I did was try to point u to a part of the terminal I do see those urchins sit and smoke( based on my observation when I pass that route)

Even on the oshodi oke bridge sef, RRS usually park their patrol vans there yet those boys show people shege in traffic.

[color=royalblue]I understood you

I am just saying, for you to drag someone from the pedestrian bridge on that side, to the terminal you're talking off, you have to use JUJU for no one to notice.

[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Bros you are wrong
I stay in ikorodu
Fadeyi have touts controlling the terminal
If they refuse to allow you in no body can even the brt staff
Ikorodu garage is becoming like that just that people stand against them sometimes

[color=royalblue]BRT buses use a card to pay for fares.

So if an Agbero doesn't allow you enter, which money is he hoping to collect from you?
[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Naso

[color=royalblue]As busy as Ikorodu BRT terminal is, you'll not see Area boys there.

Even in TBS, in Lagos Island, you'll not see One singke tout there.

But in Oshodi, they have a place to even pour fuel and light up someone?

Maybe I am wrong sha[/color]

Itsrm:
Myself and my wife(both Yorubas) lived and worked in Onitsha between 2015 and 2018. While there are occasional tribal slurs thrown at us, it was insignificant. Off my head, I can only remember it happening twice in three years.

I had no issues renting an apartment, I had a very cordial relationship with my neighbours, my wife had a good relationship with her Co workers who of course are mostly Ibos.

The nature of my work at the time also involved a lot of travel to nearby states like Owerri, Enugu, Ebonyi e.t.c I remember travelling to Owerri 17 times in one month. The only state I really didnt go then was Abia state. So it's safe to say my experience was not just limited to Onitsha.

I cannot in all honesty say the East is the most tribalistic place in Nigeria except this is a recent development with the IPOB/ESN thing.

[color=royalblue]Stick to Lagos. You know nothing about the SE

Ebonyi people are marginalised daily, and you're saying what you don't know[/color]

BlueRayDick:
No, that's not where I'm referring to. If u are coming from Anthony, after the lastma headquarters u will climb the bridge as if u are going towards mile 2, once u get to the end of the bridge u will turn to Ur right to descend the bridge ( There's a bad portion of the road after u descend the bridge as if u are going to Cappa), it's at the point of descending the bridge u will see where they park broken down BRT buses..... There's a park there where those guys sit and smoke hemp. I believe that's where the guy was describing

[color=royalblue]That's the last bus stop for buses coming from Ajah and Berger. There is usually traffic there, and it is always busy

So, he was dragged from the pedestrian bridge at the other side, and brought here with nobody seeing him, only a military guy?

Hope you know when you take that bend to go to Cappa, there's an RRS unit there?
[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Yes they are there
Some part of the terminal is allocated for interstate
Tell me where in Lagos commercial buses load without owo mi da boys not to talk of oshodi MC base
Those guys are lucky to be alive sha

[color=royalblue]Those interstate parks are on the side going to Ilupeju

And there are no boys carrying sticks. It is coordinated

[/color]

donstan18:
Just focus on Festac and Oshodi discussion bruv.

You’re more of a Lagosian than Igbo, no stress yourself to prove otherwise, you know nothing about SE, let it go.

[color=royalblue]I was mobbed last week at Onitsha because I wore a blue shirt.

I swear[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Baba, u know where those Ambode blue barbed wire are immediately u are descending the bridge? There's one opc mini hut/ojúbo eshu by the side. Faulty BRT buses are parked there. I believe that's where the guy is referring to.

[color=royalblue]If you are coming to Oshodi from Anthony, you'll pass in front of that Lastma HQ. That place has area boys and policemen littered there. The yard you are talking about is around there.

If you try to pass there to make a U turn, there is a police station with a Checkpoint there.

So area boys were dragging him in broad daylight, and nobody stopped them?

That part of taking him inside is what makes me doubt the story. Area boys have no business inside[/color]

donstan18:
You know nothing about Onitsha. Just stick to Lagos discussion you know very well.

[color=royalblue]Why your post bothers me is that it paints a picture that is not true about the SE.

Now you have started with Ebonyi indigenes been bullied in Onitsha. The same Onitsha where we have Northerners doing business with ease.

It's possible you haven't even stayed in the SE, but online everybody has infinite knowledge about everything.

Carry on, bros[/color]

donstan18:
Abakiliki people are seen as 3rd class Igbos in SE, Ebonyi state people in general are seen as Northern-Igbos, ndi Igbo khaki.

From Awada, to Mgbuka, From Upper Iweka to Fegge. I don’t even want to talk about Ọba and Obosi the nearest areas to Onitsha.

Even in main market, Abakiliki, Ikwo and Izaa people no too get mouth.

You can only argue this here, any proper Onitsha person will agree with me.

[color=royalblue]You are capping nonsense, my brother..

But what attracts me to your post is the confidence.

What should give someone mouth in a market? Or you just assume once we have fewer people from a group, they are automatically bullied[/color]

BlueRayDick:
I guess we will have to wait till election period to see if Ur inference is right or wrong. INEC recently conducted an election in Anambra and APC was on the ballot. I believe whoever was their candidate must have campaigned and canvassed for vote there.

My point is if as recent as November 2021 an election was conducted with Apc on the ballot amd actually winning votes, then maybe things are not as bad as we are made to believe.

[color=royalblue]Ebonyi conducted LG elections and APC won everything. It happened this year

The only reason it was nullified was because the incumbent tenure had not ended.

Asides that, he won credibly.



But But.....Nobody can campaign for APC without getting mobbed[/color]

donstan18:
Abakiliki people are igbos right?

Do you know they’re maltreated and bullied in Onitsha, same Igbo land?

“Abakiliki man” is an insult in Onitsha. When I tell you it’ll get worse in SE, believe and move on.

[color=royalblue]Tell me where they are maltreated and bullied in Onitsha.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Yes there are area boys inside that terminal. If u are on that oshodi oke, u will see them smoking hemp and drinking paraga inside the terminal. The section where they park the broken down BRT buses is probably where the guy is referring to. It's that place where u want to descend the bridge as if u are going to turn under the bridge

[color=royalblue]Inside the terminal? No sir.

I use that terminal to Ajah from Oshodi...And no, they are not inside.

There is no BRT bus terminal where Area boys are allowed to sit and drink paraga.

From TBS, Ojota, Oshodi, Agric and Ikorodu, there is none.

[/color]

Theflint1:
The use of terminal in his explanation could have loose meaning.

[color=royalblue]Maybe you don't know Oshodi, but I know it like the back of my palms.

There is only one place where you'll find a terminal and a pedestrian bridge together, and that's the one Ambode built.

The next pedestrian bridge is at Charity bus stop, near the Military barrack on Apapa/Oshodi expressway

If you're on Lagos/Abeokuta expressway, the next is around Shogunle or PWD (I think). And sadly. we can't call that place Oshodi [/color]

BlueRayDick:
Well, I don't live in the east and I don't how accommodating easterners are( I live u and those who live in the east to decide that)

While its true that Lagos is accommodating, it's not all rosy and peaceful as u may want to assume. There are some areas u don't want to get caught up in Lagos at the wrong time. There are some "accommodating" people in Lagos that will not let out their properties to u, there are some accommodating places u cannot even profess Ur admiration openly for a perceived enemy of theirs, etc.

These things happen almost everywhere due to the mentality of people who populate such areas. I remember mentioning it here that some states in the north would not allow Christians build churches at the centre of the town. Funny enough one of the Bishops that recently spoke at Tinubu's meeting with Northern pentecostal bishops confirmed this as one of the grievances they tabled before him.

I believe the same way this condemnable act took place at Oshodi, other parts of the country will have pockets of such incidence where over zealous supporters would harm supporters of opposition party. But the way u generalise and just assume it can only be worse in the east reeks of agenda

[color=royalblue]The moment you see someone generalise and assume, just know they never stayed there.
[/color]

BlueRayDick:
This Ur story no clear. You said no igbo man can openly campaign for Tinubu in the east without getting mobbed. Now flagboi ( I don't know his tribe/ethnic group) campaigned for Obi In Lagos and was mobbed, then u are saying " I told u so"

As in, I don't get.

[color=royalblue]His timing was wrong. He should have waited for it to happen at Asaba before e call Ara adugbo[/color]

[color=royalblue]Not trying to take anything from Flagboi story oh.

But I really no believe this thing. Make una no vex[/color]

OK, so we went to Oshodi today for the regular flag movement we usually do every week, like twice a week, so we decided to go to the Oshodi location today.

So, on getting there, while I was moving on the pedestrian with my flag, some group of guys started calling us from the terminal. So and I suspected that they were calling us for something else . . .for something bad. I decided to run.

So unknown to me that they've already captured the camera guy.

So while I was running, I got to the park. There is no way I can escape because the vehicles had to wait for passengers to load before they can move. So that was where I got stuck, then the rest, they came and captured me like a thief. They just carried me.

So luckily, fortunately for me, while we were going we saw a military guy. The military guy was trying to stop them, they couldn't stop. They took us straight to the terminal. The military guy followed us from behind.

So, on getting to the terminal, inside, the chairman immediately took the flag stick, the iron, started wiping us left and right. The other one broke bottle, then the military guy was able to stop the guy that broke the bottle.

So, they even poured fuel on this one (he points at his cameraman), they smashed the phone that was inside his pocket (we see the smashed phone), so if not for the help of the military guy, I don't know, they would have light up the fuel and that would have been a different case.

[color=royalblue]The only terminal with a pedestrian bridge at Oshodi is the one Ambode built.

So area boys took him inside, and poured fuel on him there?

Are there even area boys inside the terminal?

Make una no vex oh. But this story never done[/color]
