Why is the 2nd Niger bridge not in use since it was commissioned more than 3 years ago?

The Second Niger Bridge is being used and in fact it has been a life saver since the First Niger Bridge was closed for rehabilitation.

Video: 1st Niger Bridge is closed, what's happening on the 2nd Niger Bridge.

What's the plan against vandalism from repeating itself?

CCTV cameras, security agents on the bridge, solar streetlights, etc.

However, in one of his videos De Peters showed that there was a woman living in the lower sections of the bridge (below the roadway). People that live nearby say that she once gave birth and the child fell into the water below.

Demarcation Still On Niger Bridge, Solar Lights Installed

ELUSIVE001 CLAIMS THAT THE DEMARCATION IS BAD BUT:

⚫️ HE DOES NOT KNOW THE LOAD BEARING CAPACITY OF THE BRIDGE AND DOES NOT KNOW THE WEIGHT OF THE DEMARCATION, YET HE CLAIMS THAT IT IS TOO HEAVY FOR THE BRIDGE.

⚫️ HE DOES NOT KNOW THE WIDTH OF THE BRIDGE, YET HE CLAIMS THAT THE DEMARCATION WILL MAKE IT TOO NARROW. EARLIER THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY CLAIMED THAT THE BRIDGE WAS A TWO LANE BRIDGE, BUT NOW WE CAN SEE THAT IT'S A 4-LANE BRIDGE.

⚫️ ELUSIVE001 IS LYING THAT THE DEMARCATION HAS BEEN REMOVED, WHEN THEY WERE ACTUALLY JUST MAKING A SECOND U-TURN JUNCTION.

WHAT DOES ELUSIVE001 KNOW APART FROM LYING?

Elusive001:
What is the width of the motorway on that bridge?

What's the width of a standard double lane road?

What's the width of a trailer?

What's the current integrity of the bridge that justifies the extra concrete load on that bridge?

Was the concrete demarcation at this age of the bridge factored in by the designers?

You guys are truly heartless.

Demarcation Still On Niger Bridge, Solar Lights Installed

De Peters is an Obidient and a content creator. He lives near the First Niger Bridge and he noticed that the bridge had been vandalised. He made a video about the damaged sections of the bridge.

A few days later the minister for works, Engineer Dave Umahi, visited the bridge and rehabilitation works began.

De Peters was excited that his video had such an impact so he began visiting the bridge regularly to make videos about the rehabilitation.

His fellow Obidients insulted him and accused him of being paid by Umahi, but he continued making videos about the bridge anyway. He regularly spoke to the workers to find out what exactly they were doing.

On Monday he said that one of his viewers asked him to walk the whole length of the bridge and make a video of it. He therefore did so.

When he got to the middle of the bridge he showed that there was a junction for U-turns.

Some metres further down workers were removing part of the demarcation to make a second junction for U-turns. This was on Monday.

On Tuesday I was mentioned by Gotocourt and Elusive001 who claimed that the entire demarcation was being removed. Apparently they saw the workers creating the second junction and assumed that the entire demarcation was being removed. This is not true.

Below is the video from Monday and below that is a post and photos from Tuesday that show that thr demarcation is still there and more solar lights are being installed.

♨️Installation of solar Street lights on the first Niger bridge commenced today, 7th of October 2026.

Meanwhile the rumor of the destruction of the just constructed demarcation on the bridge is false, not everything was entirely destroyed.

You can see the space for U-turns in the first photo below.

So the tow trucks will come in with reverse .



It will be difficult to turn a tow vehicle

I know that you just want my attention, but it's not you that will decide how and when I will give it.

I will allow you to entertain me only when I am ready.

OP, you can't mention Freddie Jackson without mentioning his greatest hit.
Main Course is his greatest hit as far as I'm concerned.
