It's impossible not for feel relax the moment you sight the bridge while traveling from the west to the east as an Igbo man.
This a symbol of peace and resilience against multiple enemies.

You feel calm and joyful. It does not matter how long you have been away or even if you were born outside of Igbo land, you will still feel different whenever you see this bridge. You get this feeling of euphoria on the bridge, seeing the skyline of Onitsha.
And then when the bus or car drops down at onitsha, you take a deep breath and just feel relax like "nothing dey xup again".

It's true reminds me of when I use to come back home every end of the semester from federal university otuoke, bayelsa state.

This is true.

Even your relatives feel relaxed when you informed them that you are now at head bridge Onitsha

Gateway to home!🤩🤩

Even Anioma Son like me, anytime I see the bridge, I feel at home.

That peace it brings, is priceless. 😊

I guess we all feel the same way

Op, you are very correct. Each time I sight this bridge there is this inner peace like I have gotten home now even when I still have to journey to Imo state.

So true

Na wa oo

I truly thank God for where God created me

As you dey pass that bridge enter Asaba, another breeze go blow you ... a zoo like breeze, reminding you that you don enter jungle

As soon as I see Anioma lands, I start smiling, I slow down from around Agbor and feel like coming down and walking around. That's from where I start feeling safe.

And when I touch tyres on the bridge, I wind down and start feeling the fresh breeze of home, calling mum to put the pot on the fire because, I am close.

Home is sweet.

Very true, Op. The sight of the bridge brings joy and peace.

May God Almighty continue to bless the south east region, Amen.

An Igbo lady once told me this sometime in 2009

Yaaaaasssssss!!! Normally, once you see it from afar while still in Asaba, the goosebumps begin. It's not by Sagamu, Ijebu Ode, Ore, Bypass, Auchi, Umunede, et al. The sound of the wind and tyres when crossing the bridge nko? Priceless.

You will then see that Flavour Life advert.

Those that went home, is that advert still there ABI another beer ti takeover?

No place like Home

It’s an iconic landmark….abi na rivermark!

From Delta State and the attendant hustle and bustle you see when approaching the bridge, you know you are home.

When your tyres HIT the bridge proper you feel the warmth and the Cool breeze from the River Niger.

This is HOME...

This is where Women with Spartan Blood give birth to real MEN.

How about those Yoruba who live in Lagos but work in the east? How do they feel when the get to the bridge?

That bridge head is iconic. It means so much to the easterners. It means home, perseverance, industry, one people bound in destiny etc.
