So it seems people are ignorant. So every few years, you remove the asphalt and keep the structure of the bridge and repave it. That is how you make the structure last decades. The Bridge must be closed down for the asphalt to dry due to the amount of load and trucks using the bridge. The alternative is to close it every 1-2 years to do fillings or convert to concrete which would take a longer time to do and will require less maintenance intervals. Maintenance is often our issue in Nigeria...so this is welcome news, and it will make your cars drive better with less repairs to your vehicles. Praise it and don't be ungrateful.
Welcome Back Nairalanders. You don't appreciate what you have till you lose it for real. Everyday, I kept checking and checking...congrats to us all LOL
at 56, he should revamp himself and make a new name for himself.. it's not too late. He could have married high with his status then...he picked who he picked. No one forced him
If I was to go with spiritual attack...the older brother and his son were responsible...took his property, sold it and kicked the wife out...killed their first son...and on recovery, the attack on him went back to them and killed them both. I see a full restoration on all that was lost back to this man. May God help him...this world is dangerous.
He must have gotten advice from Peter Obi. He is always citing Thailand statistics lol. He said he is looking for investment...we shall go with that narrative lol.

You overtook them knowing there have been attacks on our servicemen and police by homegrown terrorists...you are lucky they didn't shoot into your car. That was not a smart move. They would have been justified.
Kelvin30286063: On Wednesday 6th of December, I was driving my family from Ondo to Akure to launch a new business.
We plan to start the event at 12 and it was already past 11am so I was rushing. Along Akure road, I saw this three police convoy going in front but they were not very fast.
I have a really fast car so I was like, I should overtake them and be on my way, I flashed the last pickup with about 3 policemen at the back but they didn't make any reaction and didn't gesture for me to go.
The road ahead of us was long and free, no incoming vehicles so I saw it as an opportunity.
After flashing twice again and no response, I decided to overtake all three pickup vehicles quickly so I switched to sport mode and decided to use my pedal shifter to go faster.
As soon as I revved and started overtaking them, they went crazy and started driving zig-zag on the road leaving me absolutely no room to go.
At the end they ran me into the nearly bush and parked me off. One of them decided to use their vehicles to intentionally brush my car while parking me off the road. They all came down, almost 20 of them and started shooting in the air.
They started shouting come down from this car! Hitting my car everywhere with fist and hitting my glass with the tail of their guns. Somehow my window didn't break even after they hit them 5 or 6 times. (Respect to Acura on that)
One of them pointed his gun at my vehicle and was about to shoot. I roll down my glass and started begging them.
My wife was sitting in front with me and my 2 year old daughter was sitting at the back in the hand of a friend we took along with us to act as MC for the occasion.
My wife quickly collected my daughter from the guy and held her to her chest cos she was already panicking and crying.
I think that was what saved our live cos as soon as they saw my daughter, somehow they calm down a little and started trying to drag me out of the car.
I vehemently refused to go down cos I know I will be beaten or even shot. After a few minutes of acting upset, shooting in the air, one of them that was fat and looks like their leader came down from the middle van.
That was the first time I noticed that the middle van was actually covered at the back which means they may be carrying something. They didn't use a bullion van so there was no indication that they were moving money and they didn't use siren either.
Long story short, the big guy that looked like the boss came to me and said why did I overtake them.
I explained that we were in a hurry and I flashed a few times before I attempted to overtake them and I also saw that the road was clear.
He looked at me, looked at my wife, looked at my crying daughter and looked at the guy at the back then asked me to come down that nothing will happen to me, I took my company's ID card and my guy at the back and I came down.
He checked the ID and said don't do that again. The others were shouting he must follow us to the station bla bla bla but he was calm.
Eventually they let us go.
They damaged the bumper of my vehicle in the process.
I know I was in the wrong by overtaking them without anyone gesturing that I can go but seriously, WHAT IS THE RULE TO THAT? Especially on highway, with a wider road and not within the city.
I had to apologise to my family later cos I know it was a traumatic experience for them and I accepted my fault but I'm still confused on how I was wrong. The road was straight, long, clear of incoming vehicles and I flashed and horned.
Are we expected to follow convoy from wherever we see them to where ever they are going even if they are driving at 80km per hr?
While the neglect part is true, they have no one to blame but their own leaders. Can someone answer the following questions?
Did SE get their share of allocations from the Federal Govt year in year out? Which year or years were they denied allocations? Do they feel the funds they got were less than what they should be getting? Did the Federal Govt refuse or fail to do any projects in the SE while at the same time did it in other regions?
I have friends from South East, and even they agree that their Govs and Elders have drained their region. Look for the wealthiest past Govs with houses abroad for children...you will find them. They want the biggest houses everywhere at the expense of their own people.
When we scream marginalization, we are made to believe its US against THEM when it is actually THEM against THEM. There was a time the Govt spoke about concession of the port...they didnt really want that. Under Buhari, they got the Niger Bridge 2...arguably the largest project during Buhari's regime. The Govt wanted to do more...but for insecurity...caused by who? them vs them. Please I refuse to bring the coolaid.
White men do not have special brains or knowledge. Read and LEARN. You can think too. By the way, someone needs to tell them the truth...they are wrong, and their leaders and elders teach them to blame and hate the Govt, so they wont focus on their own lootings.
- Says; Igbos in Nigeria, 73% says sometimes or always, are treated unfairly by the government.
- Says; This is the highest rate of any ethnic group surveyed in Africa.
- Says; In their (Igbo) view, they are sometimes always being treated unfairly by the government.
- Says; Igbos feel disconnect from the government and that needs to be addressed.
- Says; The grievance is that you have a very product region that's exporting not just to Nigeria, but internationally. You have I think, Imo and Anambra, are number 4 and 6 for GDP in Nigeria in 2021, which was a very violent Year, even in the midst of the violence, three of the five South East states were in the top 12 for GDP per Capita, yet there's no Seaport, the bridges are not good, the roads are not good.
- Says; The unrest is an infrastructural thing though with political lenses.
I endorse this message even as a pro-Tinubu person. The Senators should be patient with our funds too and wait till we have a lot...422 to Cop28...ko make sense
Chinjo2: We are to excercise patience while billions of naira is to be used to renovate the residence of the vice president and 150 million allocated to buy suv for each senator.
There is nothing illegal in impregnation 4 police officers. It's not even illegal if he is married...the non-Nigerian guy always posting anti Nigerian news is an idiot. Case closed
Adults go to anime conventions here, wear their costumes and all...it's like a cult following. He should sponsor the wife to anime conference lol. Most of those cartoons teach life lessons and are devoid of bad energies and behaviors you learn in our movies. Most women now hate their laws because to Naija movies lol
DyshApp: A married man has anonymously taken to social media to complain about his wife’s addiction to watching cartoons with their children.
According to him, his wife was always excited to watch and sing along to the cartoon with their kids and she would narrate the stories to them if they missed them.
According to the man, something must be wrong with his wife. While admitting that she has not failed in her roles as a wife and mother to his kids, he reiterated his worry that he felt she should have grown past cartoons.
He appealed for help to fix the cartoon problem.
In his words: "I feel like something is wrong, I don't really get her sometimes. She doesn't even watch the movies I want us to watch together unless I really encourage her. She acts like me not watching those their cartoons with them, I'm missing out on something great.
“My wife, 37 years old, enjoys watching cartoon even more than our kids. When I say cartoon, I mean animated movies. Our first boy is 14 years old down to our last who is currently 4 years old. They’ve turned the home into a cartoon home. They are soo addicted, they sing their songs, do their dances and discuss those things all the time. My wife at her age will be running as if something strange was happening and she forgets herself to be an adult sometimes. I’ve tried to explain to her that I don’t really like it, I don’t complain because they are being happy but, I don’t understand my wife’s addiction. Even when the kids aren’t around, she’ll be watching animated movies alone.
Once they get home, she’s going to narrate all she watched to them and even demonstrate with actions some funny/emotional scenes. I feel like something is wrong, I don’t really get her sometimes. She doesn’t even watch the movies I want us to watch together unless I really encourage her. She acts like me not watching those their cartoons with them, I’m missing out on something great. Is there something I can do to help her? It’s somehow bothering me.
Kindly note that, she’s fully employed and still does her duties as a wife and a mother. I don’t have any problem on that side, I just feel she’s addicted to animated movies when actually, she has grown pass it.”
Of course Lagos has and it is not true that other airports don't ask for login. Some ask for emails and some has for names, numbers and even emails in sane countries. Just put your non-information or other names for security reasons
9JAMac10: Do Nigeria international airport specifically Enugu airport have free Wi-Fi?
Even in his book...he was a pacifier...he stopped the revolution that was starting...Blacks still eat peanuts...so one day the true reckoning will come back to South Africa again.
Floky215: What liberation? Mandela simply help them to continue apartheid without apartheid...!!
The economy of SA is still in the hand of the white minorities and the lazy blacks there are not helping matter...!!
Personally I don't see any issues with this if it's annually or monthly if they are sure they are making millions monthly. They should should the money to fix erosion and roads. My only issue has always been the holier than thou...A serious govt will enforce, collect taxes, manage the people and promote development like Lagos. You won't be loved by all but you will create a lasting legacy of public works and public service.
adamusuleiman1: According to Twitter influencer and Pastor Okezie J Atani:
Fubara decided to fight a man whose wife is a Judge. Wike has the Rivers Assembly, and he will be getting the best legal advice from the wife if not more. Fubara is fighting the fight Ambode could not win even with more support than Fubara. I wish him good luck. Men are supposed to be logical thinker...Power can sometimes take away logic.
Why are we reporting the account of the lady? Why not perform autopsy first...maybe he was poisoned after transfering some money to her for keeps. She left with his phone and came back for her own phone...how do you mix up phones. The whole story makes no sense.
Its a deal...even Gov Seyi worked for Tinubu. I heard Gov Makinde might gun for the Senate in 2027. He will win alongside Tinubu after defecting to APC too lol. 2027 is a GO.
veraponpo: He may become the next Oyo State Governor if he plays his game well.
Government is not serious yet. We need 4 drones by LGAs that runs at 12hr shifts. You use 2 and keep 2 for backup. That is over 1500 jobs at Drone centers, 24hours a day. Tactical units in each LGAs separate from Police. Heat sensored drones for forest densed areas and armed drones for terrorist havens. Even if you cant do heat drones or armed drones for Christ sake...buy the ones used by film makers and mark areas to raid.
feelingmyswag: I think its high time to introduce the use of drones, all unit should have this drone monitoring units. It should be served as an alarm to every individual going to, and fro their destinations. this is the only way to curb this menace. Create a unit in every geo location, enable drone service which can be activated to trace and pursue this criminals. i am thinking on how to create a robot that will help in curbing this menace. o lord i need your AI IQ....Help me LORD....
Will his children work in Agriculture in Nigeria? This is a bad idea.
1. Most youths have no interest in Agriculture 2. It is an unpredictable way to grow IGR 3. You need access to land and most lands in the south are already owned by families
So though the focus on Agriculture is great, push mechanized farming and let very few people cultivate for many. That is what US does. There are very few Agricultural companies but they corner a large share of the system, so they can minimize their losses. Our focus should be on maximizing what we do with what we produce. How can you store yam and increase supply all year round? How can they get to industries to be processed or processed to be shipped to Nigerians that have japa. We need dollars and pounds, and those Nigerians abroad want Naija food with cheaper price compared to the current.

UAE will soon become number 1 probably within the decade. You can invest in UAE. Makes a lot of sense and lots of Nigerians already do. Chat me up...but be serious lol. I no get time for nonsense.
Very self explanatory...they increased caution...yup they need it cos students damage everything. Added handbook...great then make sure there are no more handouts...ever. Records and Gowns, Medical screening, UME verification and Biometric...all makes sense. Schools need to confirm you are who you are...and these are needed if the Govt is to give out grants and loans. It is much ado about nothing, and it only affects freshers. We can protest everyday if you allow us as a people...we need to read and digest first. Oga o
Sure but the person was trying to withdraw N200k...that is a lot. 5 of those withdraws is N1m...we need to limit these types of withdraw and report suspicious activities if the person is doing daily withdraw in cash.
maasoap: Before you can ask this kind of question, we need to talk about how much because there's no society where people don't carry cash in their pockets
I just love the man...your parents are proud of you Sir. May they continue to rest in peace. He spearheaded shifting power to the North, revealed all incompetent teachers, fought the cabal over Naira Redesign...yes the crimes and killings was an issue...but it was because the Fed didn't follow your position...we know where they are...we should go there and bomb them all...they didn't
