Nice but easy routes for the herdsmen too


This bridge and that of Niger bridge which is the longest? I want to check something


I made same comparison!

It's quite a long bridge. 1 km before the bridge properly, they did an amazing construction. I had to pull over and enjoy the beautiful scenery

I commend Buhari government on this road. I ply the road on regular basis for my business. That oweto bridge is world class. Though I learnt GEJ actually awarded the contract but i commend Buhari for executing it and David Mark for his tenacity and influence to make the road a reality. Reynolds try for the project.

Igbo kee you hateful mind there.
When you throw hate to the Igbo in Nigeria, and they throw your hate back to you, you call them haters for their reaction.
2023 presidential election is time for you to demonstrate that you are not hateful to the Igbo.
Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani, the two other legs of the tripod holding Nigeria have presided over Nigeria many times. Igbo has not.
It's therefore time to show you are not hatefilled by voting Peter Obi, the most qualified for the job, to succeed President Buhari.
After that, any other Igbo you see reacting to your tantrums, do what you like to him/her.

GEJ did 95% work on that bridge b4 he left,there's a thread about it on nairaland.
The contractors were already crossing the bridge with their vehicles in 2014,just the side protector and asphalting of the road b4 it.
Buhari came in and refused to do anything on the bridge throughout his 1st tenure until his 2nd tenure when Benue and Nasarawa elders went to beg him.

BUHARI FAILED?

1. “Buhari is a failure,” but please who has done more roads and bridges than this Gov’t since the coming of democracy in 1999?

Let’s deal with facts as we move on…

2. “Buhari is a failure,” but can you tell me any administration that has done more housing projects since 1999 than this Gov’t?

Maybe @StatiSense can help us here!

3. “Buhari is a failure,” but before Buhari, Boko Haram was having a caliphate in Borno. You needed scanners to screen people in banks and churches. Suicide bombing was a norm, is it still the same today? The NW & NC won’t be different, they will collect too.
Considerable success has been made in the North-East as a whole, & even the blind knows that, except the ‘politically blind’. Nothing is insurmountable, we will win in the NW & NC to either now or the next admin.

But PMB has laid that foundation already with arms acquisition.

4. “Buhari is a failure,” but there was a time in this country when the farmers-herders clash became a National problem and a clout-chasing topic. But this same “failed” Gov’t designed the NLTP, and today, has that not been minimized? Why are we not talking about this?

5. “Buhari is a failure,” but since the time of the military days, no President has equipped the Army, Airforce, and Navy simultaneously like this administration. It is a fact!

You can also “Go and Verify!”

6. “Buhari is a failure,” but how many cancer centers were in Nigeria before this failure came, and how many do we have now? Lagos, Umuahia, and Kano have world-class Cancer Centers today.

How do you measure failure?

7. “Buhari is a failure,” but since the war that ended in 1970, it took this failure to recognize the Biafra Army and Police who fought during that war, and even pay their pension and emoluments accrued to them all these years.

Failure?


8. “Buhari is a failure,” but it took the ‘failure’ to build the Zik Mausoleum after years of neglect; recognizing M.K.O Abiola as a President that he should have been, & awarding him all that is due to him as an ex-President, and even declaring June 12, our democracy day.

9. “Buhari is a failure,” but this failure has brought reforms into the Governance system like implementing IPPIS and TSA for more accountability, even when these 2 have been existing for years before this Gov’t.

10. “Buhari is a failure,” for having a “rubber stamp” NASS that has passed more important bills that affects the life of every Nigerian than any Gov’t or NASS has ever done in Nigeria. Every bill has been a huge reform in all sectors — from Energy to electoral reforms.


11. “Buhari is a failure,” for paying pensioners your “letter writer” & his Vice sold the companies they were working & forced to quit their jobs with no emolument whatsoever.

Go & tell the workers of ALSCON, Delta Steel, NICON, Nigeria Airways, NAHCO, etc that Buhari failed na.

12. “Buhari is a failure,” but we were only having an unfinished Abuja-Kaduna rail when he took over — he finished it. Now, we have Lagos-Ibadan, Warri-Itakpe, PH-Maiduguri (under construction), Kaduna-Kano (under construction), and he’s a failure. Issokay!

13. “Buhari is a failure,” but where was ProForce, DICON, NAVMC? While DICON was existing, what were they producing? Today, we have these companies bringing our hardware for our military like never seen before in this country — and Buhari has taken us back to 1900? ��
If the environment was not created, or Buhari failed, will ProForce be in Nigeria today? Why didn’t they come to Nigeria when Nigeria was in 2050? Would Innoson have been producing parts for our military today? “Buhari failed” kee u dia!

14. “Buhari is a failure,” but what was the state of our General and Specialist hospitals before this Gov’t came? This Gov’t has not only digitalized them, but they have also renovated and equipped many. Didn’t we see videos where people’s parents looted money for hospital equipment?
Are they the Gov’t?
The children of the CMD of that hospital in PH and his cohorts that were trying to divert the N900mn Gov’t intervention, are also here calling their “father” a failure. Hypocrites!

15. “Buhari is a failure,” but before he came, I remember celebrities doing videos to mock our Int’l airport. In one instance, 2face did a video at the Kotoka Int’l Airport to mock We’ve all forgotten all that today, because “Buhari has taken us to 1896” with better airports.

16. “Buhari is a failure,” but he fought the DISCOS your ‘crooked’ lovers sold our electricity to, and today we are having our DISCOS back one after the other, while the SIEMENS deal is bringing that much-needed electricity we’ve been yearning for all these years.
It’s real, it’s verifiable. If that is what failure looks like, I want to be a failure every day.

17. “Buhari is a failure,” but before this Gov’t, piracy on our waters was alarming. Insurance on goods from abroad was in the thousands of $$. This Gov’t investment in our NAVY & NIMASA simultaneously has made our waters one of the safest in the world today. Is this failure?

18. “Buhari is a failure,” but his Gov’t has promoted “Made in Nigeria” goods more than any since 1999. Executive Order was even signed to that effect, & today the benefit can only be well put in words by our farmers (grains & livestock), and manufacturers (Innoson, Nord, etc). Failure?

19. “Buhari is a failure,” but his Gov’t was the first to give some Universities an uninterrupted power supply by providing them with solar electricity. BUK—Kano, FUAM—Makurdi, UDUS—Sokoto, FUNAI—Ebonyi, and UniMAID (almost completed). Do you call this failure?

20. “Buhari is a failure,” but we only had an Apapa & TinCan port before he came — today, Onne & Calabar ports are receiving cargos under his administration. Onitsha Port has just been concessioned. Let’s not even talk about the State ports coming up, like Lekki, Badagry & Ibom.

Are we back to 1924?

“Buhari is a failure,” but before this ‘failure,’ nobody was bold enough to establish a refinery in Nigeria. The common modular refinery, how many were in Nigeria before this ‘failure’ came? We have modular refineries in Imo, Bayelsa, Edo, and even Delta now.

Dangote and BUA are building refineries, while the PH refinery is being totally turned into a brand new one, but Buhari failed, and Nigeria is now in 1740.

What is your definition of failure? How has not being able to end insecurity turned to failure? How has inflation which is a global phenomenon become the indices to measure failure? Can the Gov’t do better economically and security-wise? Of course, they can.

Can only 1 Gov’t solve the whole problem in Nigeria? No, of course not. But we must look at where we were coming from, the available resources then and now, and the pandemic and global economic downturn should be factored in too if you’re being open-minded.

Insecurity can never end in society, they come in different ways, the only thing is to have a Gov’t that can respond to them as they come.

This Gov’t has done its best and we must acknowledge that, while also pointing out where they didn’t meet expectations. Using blanket statements like “Buhari has failed” is trying to be politically blind and deaf. Yes, I said it!

Buhari will hand the baton over to Tinubu and he will continue from where Buhari stopped and conclude the race to perfection.

Buhari has taken us back, period..
Book haram attacks are more under his tenure..
Bandits attacks started on his tenure.
We now have UGM in the south..
The economy of the country is worst.
Students are at home instead of being in classes..
Claimed to be fighting corruption how many high profile case has been convicted?

My projection early in the year is that the project would be completed by the end of the year.

The wisdom here is that as another bridge - Second Niger Bridge is constructed before Asaba Tollgate to Oba roundabout on the way to Owerri bypassing the main Niger Bridge to Upper Iweka leaving the main Niger Bridge for travellers going inland Onitsha and Enugu routes , another bridge is also being constructed across River Benue from Nassarawa State to ease congestion.

The only difference is the noise generated over second Niger bridge.
Re: Loko-Oweto Road Construction Nears Completion (Video, Pix) by 00FFT00(m): 11:22am On Sep 27, 2022
So, where is the toll bridge built to recover the humongous cost of this project?.

Why do southeast and south southerners have to pay for the second Niger Bridge through tolling, while their northern counterparts gets to enjoy Nigeria's endowment domiciled in the SE and SS free?.

One country, different realities?.

It's bad, Ota make alot of money to the federal government. Yet simple construction of 13km road that sees over 400 commercial trucks, trailers, tankers and container ply the road daily has been abandoned, but one road that does not see up to 10 cars and 20 okada in a day started and finish with no abandonment or hold up due to money. This country is laughable.
which ota. the whole ota and the presidential library which was build by the federal government of Nigeria has been hijacked by Obasanjo.
Ogun state have railway that was build by federal government, why are you pain because a road that was started since 2006 is completed now.

Yet another Utilitarian bridge same as Second Niger bridge that smacks of those patronising advice from the West that label any involved designs as impractical for the urgent purposes of the natives who simply required their basic needs met. In actuality however they don't want your country to own architecture more monumental than theirs, you people are upstarts otherwise.

As for economy, the whole world is facing same issue with many more facing even worst economic woes

What you just wrote goes without saying, but sentiments and blind hatred would always becloud our sense of judgement when it comes to this government.

If previous govts from 99 tp 2015 had executed just half of what PMB has been able to achieve in terms of infrastructural and social investments, we wont be here, still crawling.

But the opposition knows the truth, and thats why they always parrot, "who started it".

Nigeria's lopsided political structure under unitary government system is the mother of all the problems of Nigeria.
Buhari refused restructuring of Nigeria democratically, and refused to implement the 2014 CONFAB recommendations adjudged the best National Conference in the history of Nigeria. Buhari said he had dumped the recommendations of the 2014 CONFAB in the cooler.
From 1999 to 2014, Tinubu shouted himself hoarse, campaigning all over the SW region for political restructuring of Nigeria. But Tinubu saw an opportunity to become president in 2014, ditched the opportunity of restructuring Nigeria, and joined the Conservative far north political parties that had obstructed political restructuring of Nigeria.
Only a blind will hand over Nigeria to an aged, most corrupt Tinubu who is suffering from Parkinsonism.

If the environment was not created, or Buhari failed, will ProForce be in Nigeria today? Why didn’t they come to Nigeria when Nigeria was in 2050? Would Innoson have been producing parts for our military today? “Buhari failed” kee u dia!

14. “Buhari is a failure,” but what was the state of our General and Specialist hospitals before this Gov’t came? This Gov’t has not only digitalized them, but they have also renovated and equipped many. Didn’t we see videos where people’s parents looted money for hospital equipment?
Are they the Gov’t?
The children of the CMD of that hospital in PH and his cohorts that were trying to divert the N900mn Gov’t intervention, are also here calling their “father” a failure. Hypocrites!

15. “Buhari is a failure,” but before he came, I remember celebrities doing videos to mock our Int’l airport. In one instance, 2face did a video at the Kotoka Int’l Airport to mock We’ve all forgotten all that today, because “Buhari has taken us to 1896” with better airports.

16. “Buhari is a failure,” but he fought the DISCOS your ‘crooked’ lovers sold our electricity to, and today we are having our DISCOS back one after the other, while the SIEMENS deal is bringing that much-needed electricity we’ve been yearning for all these years.
It’s real, it’s verifiable. If that is what failure looks like, I want to be a failure every day.

17. “Buhari is a failure,” but before this Gov’t, piracy on our waters was alarming. Insurance on goods from abroad was in the thousands of $$. This Gov’t investment in our NAVY & NIMASA simultaneously has made our waters one of the safest in the world today. Is this failure?

18. “Buhari is a failure,” but his Gov’t has promoted “Made in Nigeria” goods more than any since 1999. Executive Order was even signed to that effect, & today the benefit can only be well put in words by our farmers (grains & livestock), and manufacturers (Innoson, Nord, etc). Failure?

19. “Buhari is a failure,” but his Gov’t was the first to give some Universities an uninterrupted power supply by providing them with solar electricity. BUK—Kano, FUAM—Makurdi, UDUS—Sokoto, FUNAI—Ebonyi, and UniMAID (almost completed). Do you call this failure?

20. “Buhari is a failure,” but we only had an Apapa & TinCan port before he came — today, Onne & Calabar ports are receiving cargos under his administration. Onitsha Port has just been concessioned. Let’s not even talk about the State ports coming up, like Lekki, Badagry & Ibom.

Are we back to 1924?

“Buhari is a failure,” but before this ‘failure,’ nobody was bold enough to establish a refinery in Nigeria. The common modular refinery, how many were in Nigeria before this ‘failure’ came? We have modular refineries in Imo, Bayelsa, Edo, and even Delta now.

Dangote and BUA are building refineries, while the PH refinery is being totally turned into a brand new one, but Buhari failed, and Nigeria is now in 1740.

What is your definition of failure? How has not being able to end insecurity turned to failure? How has inflation which is a global phenomenon become the indices to measure failure? Can the Gov’t do better economically and security-wise? Of course, they can.

Can only 1 Gov’t solve the whole problem in Nigeria? No, of course not. But we must look at where we were coming from, the available resources then and now, and the pandemic and global economic downturn should be factored in too if you’re being open-minded.

Insecurity can never end in society, they come in different ways, the only thing is to have a Gov’t that can respond to them as they come.

This Gov’t has done its best and we must acknowledge that, while also pointing out where they didn’t meet expectations. Using blanket statements like “Buhari has failed” is trying to be politically blind and deaf. Yes, I said it!

Buhari will hand the baton over to Tinubu and he will continue from where Buhari stopped and conclude the race to perfection.
I agree with your write up but the last statement is impossible. Tinubu cannot rule this country. Simple!

This is commendable for the FG.

This is quite commendable. If there's any area where I can't fault APC much, it's in the area of construction and rail. They really did what PDP couldn't and wouldn't have done.

Regardless, I feel like their time is up. The Muslim-Muslim ticket was their main error, that's apart from Buhari himself who failed in the area of national security.
