Hate him or hate him Bola Tinubu as delivered twice as many KM as any president who spent 4 year in just 2 years.

The fact some hate filled fools lunatics label him a failure does not blind those of us with functional brains. We can see how many road he completed n commissioned with Umahi already.

1978 – Conceptual Idea
• The idea to connect Bonny Island to the mainland by road was first conceived during the military administration in Rivers State.

2002 – Early Attempt
• An initial effort produced only limited bridge work and stalled without meaningful progress.


2014 – Formal Contract Award
• The Federal Government awarded the Bodo–Bonny Road contract to Julius Berger Nigeria Plc.

2017 – Project Revival & Construction Begins
• A tripartite funding arrangement involving the Federal Government, Nigeria LNG (NLNG), and Julius Berger was signed.
• Full construction commenced, including major bridges across creeks and swampy terrain.

2019–2021 – Delays and Cost Review
• Engineering complexity, funding gaps, inflation, and design changes caused delays.
• Project cost was reviewed upward.

2022 – Community-Related Interruptions
• Local grievances over engagement and naming issues briefly disrupted construction.

2023 – Inflation & FX Crisis
• Severe inflation and foreign exchange pressures slowed work and triggered renegotiations.

2024 – Funding Approval & Restart
• Federal Executive Council approved a significant cost increase.
• Construction resumed at full pace.

December 2025 – Temporary Opening
• The road was officially opened to light vehicles only, marking a historic breakthrough after decades of isolation.

2026 (Target) – Full Completion
• Final works and unrestricted access (including heavy trucks) expected upon completion.
Thank you for this chronology and tracking of events on the project. I guess some people may not like to see that the contract was awarded in 2014 to Julius Berger

Without road or rail it is impossible for a country to develop and spread wealth and opportunity.

The Romans built stone roads for their armies and commerce. But those roads were only cheap because they were built by forced labour. In human terms of lives lost and damaged those roads were very expensive.

Thank you president Tinubu. South South will give you 100% of our votes.

What our own son could not do while in power, you did it.

We say thank you.

I pray the South East will learn how to appreciate you.

While Atiku and other Northerners have all commended Tinubu, Peter Obi is yet to say a word.

Peter Obi only awaits a bad news to comment

This is very commendable. Kudos to the administration.

Hopefully, those heavy duty trucks will heed warnings, and wait until the road opens fully.
What is this scam of opening incomplete roads by A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC leaders?

Why is Tinubu and APC leaders looters so eager to use incomplete roads and other projects to cover up their looting of our commonwealth since 1999 in Borno and Lagos states, which they have been doing at the federal level since 2015 huh

Misplaced priorities of incompetent, corrupt and clueless rogues.

Your generation that is so close to progress, uses pictures of launched incomplete roads to pay for goods & services in the absence of government jobs to make basic services and utilities available to everyone, not so huh

(A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).

During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?

Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?

Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.

Good, good, good. Travelling to Bonny Island was risky navigating those rough seas and through deep sea pipelines those days.

Nice one by the FG.
Re: Nigerians Celebrate As Tinubu Opens Bodo–Bonny Road For Vehicular Traffic (Vid by Jayhome24: 12:57pm On Dec 19, 2025
Honestly I have always celebrated Tinubu since he got to power. He is not a pretender over anything when he want to do it he does it with no cabals influence or impediment, though few of his policies might not be that friendly but if Buhari have done some of the goods Tinubu have done in less than 3 years we won't be these bad in everything.

This Road has be a serious bone of contention long ago no past president willing and bold enough to open it but Tinubu opened it, life should not only be for the rich who can fly Helicopter or special boat to move around while the rest populace in that axis are struggling risking their lives daily on top of the ocean and a beautiful well constructed road lying waste its not done.

Pls we are not asking those Nigeriaa haters to praise Tinubu every sane Nigeria knows he is trying his best and he will finish his term n 2031.


Finally, as usual those frustrated cry cry babies won't still like this but sadly we don't care..

Why are people upset about good news and rejoice about bad news? No government can be 100% good unless u leaving in dream need or deceiving yourself. Good news we rejoice, bad news we speak out. At the end of the day everything works for the good of us all.

The reason they timed the statement from GEJ kinsmen to tally with commisioning is not hard to see.
These are the sort of roads he should have done for more states instead of one long coastal road attempting to run parallel the full coast line.
Re: Nigerians Celebrate As Tinubu Opens Bodo–Bonny Road For Vehicular Traffic (Vid by johncreek: 1:38pm On Dec 19, 2025
Haven’t you guys noticed that Tinubu name is always mentioned in any project being commissioned… must everything be politicized?
