Ofunaofu:
Your level of hypocrisy is legendary, I must confess.

Where exactly did I say the bridge is the property of a particular region or some people? That’s a convenient argument you’ve created just to avoid the actual issue.

Nobody is disputing that the bridges are federal government infrastructure. The question is simple: why would a minister order the removal of advertising billboards from public infrastructure and then allow Tinubu’s own billboards to remain?

If the bridge belongs to the Federal Government, then it belongs to the Nigerian public, not to Tinubu, not to Umahi, and certainly not to any political party.

So please, spare me the lecture about ownership. The issue is the selective application of the rule. If billboards are prohibited on the bridge, remove all of them. If they are permitted, then explain why some are being removed while Tinubu’s are allowed to stay.

You can’t preach federal property when defending the government and suddenly forget the same principle when political advertising is involved.

That double standard is the real issue here, not whether the bridge is the first, second, or third Niger Bridge.
Have they paid for the right to use the bridge to host their banners ?

That bridge is FG property and Umahi as minister of works is responsible for that bridge.

If Obi and co won't pay the levies required before placing their billboards then they should not be allowed to hoist them.

If every President was like your obi who refused to invest in infrastructure, will there be a second Niger bridge or even first one, for Obi to hoist his political banner on?

How you guys see both the old and new bridge as your property baffles me..

The very first bridge was built by the federal govt under Tafa Belewa.

Ojukwu blew it up.

The second and now third bridge were all built by the FG and remains FG property
All done with the resources from the Eastern region which of course includes south south (what a funny name only registered in Nigeria)

Which resources from which useless Eastern region?

Eastern region is dead and buried forever.

That bridge was funded by money from Niger Delta oil.

So it was baffling to see Ohaneze demand that the FG name the second bridge after Ojukwu - a literal bridge burner who blew the first Niger bridge up.

Delta state that has more stake in that bridge did not make demands to the FG but it was your SE that were claiming the bridge as theirs despite not contributing a dime for it's construction.

Also, the original plan for the second Niger bridge was one of a BOT agreement with Julius Berger to fully fund, build , maintain and toll the bridge .

SE leaders went to Buhari to have the project be fully funded by the FG and to discontinue any future plans of tolling it.

That bridge was not funded from any resource from your SE region and know that Eastern region is dead and buried forever.

Don’t be baffled! It’s probably same as how your sort see Lagos and the presidency as your own property! wink

Your bile and hatred for Ndigbo will be your undoing!

You conveniently speak of ‘Niger-Delta oyel and gas’ without mentioning the ethnicities in the Niger-Delta where said hydrocarbons are located! Dude, I’m a proud Igbo man from that Niger-Delta, and i’m here to tell you my own LGA in Rivers state has an abundance of hydrocarbons that your sort have been parasitising on from the late 60s to date!

If you wanna know what ingratitude looks like, take a look in the mirror!

The bridge is property of ministry of works.

Have Obi and co paid the ministry to hang their billboards on the bridge ?

bridges are built by and for the president only

I hope you are aware that surveillance cameras have been mounted on the bridge too. Do any how and end up like this guy
I am suspecting that guy to be gidgiddy.

Since he was arrested, gidgiddy stopped posting here.

That bridge is federal property on Federal territory.

Have you asked if any of the political parties have paid the ministry of works to instal billboards for their candidates along the bridge.
Umahi never complained about payment. He just made a direct order that no other person should do so except Tinubu. Tinubu didn't build that bridge. That property is a public property not Tinubu house in bourdillion. That bridge has been in existence when Tinubu was doing his Chicago adventures.

The works minister Senator David Umahi, has ordered the removal of all advertising billboards on the Niger bridge in Onitsha and replacement with President Tinubu's billboards immediately after the ongoing repairs of the bridge is complete. The minister stated that this was to appreciate President Tinubu for the unprecedented infrastructural developments in the south east.

That's a lame thing for a sitting minister to say. The bridge is fixed with tax payers money and any Nigerian who aspire for the highest sir in the land should be allowed to display his billboard there if he or she chooses.

Re: Umahi Orders Decoration Of First Niger Bridge With Tinubu’s Pictures by Thedon22: 6:14pm On Sep 24
Very good. Let Mr go and verify go and use his own bridge he built when he was Anambra governor. All the roads he claimed to have built and asked people to verify, let him play on those roads himself and let's see. Yorubas have a saying that it is someone who wants to lie that would say his witnesses are in heaven. Obi has no projects to show.
Re: Umahi Orders Decoration Of First Niger Bridge With Tinubu’s Pictures by tonesky(m): 6:46pm On Sep 24
Umahi is nothing but a bloody sycophant. Tinubu is now - Mungo Park, the man that discovered River Niger. Does Tinubu have fame or name like - Nnamdi Azikiwe's or the Awolowo's ? He will soon fizzle out.

Appreciate a president for repairing a bridge in his country?..these guys talk as if they are doing these projects with their personal money.
No politician is patriotic no more.
They are not answerable to anyone but their masters.
The earlier the better citizens know that….they have nothing to offer just sycophancy at its peak nothing more.

Umahi you are confused.. That place is second Niger bride not Tinubu house in Bourdillion.
Umahi an Abakiliki man is saying a former governor of Anambra state should not hang his bill board in Anambra. What an abberation. Ebonyi people should cal ths mad man to order
All these asslickung you guys are doing will definitely backfire. Time is a gentle man.
You people write without thinking. What has where he comes from got to do with his actions? Stop being petty and foooooolizh at the same time.

Pls show us the receipt of where Tinubu paid to use the bridge. Umahi should stop fooling around in Igboland. He is an Abakiliki man and should be very careful.
Anyways I trust Otu boys on what will happen to those banners.
Re: Umahi Orders Decoration Of First Niger Bridge With Tinubu’s Pictures by depezee(m): 7:09pm On Sep 24
Let David Umahi should test his popularity by contesting for the office of the presidency.
Las las other tribes in Nigeria will still see him as an Igbo man.
Don't worry, very soon your eyes go clear. Go ask Rochas Okorocha.
Re: Umahi Orders Decoration Of First Niger Bridge With Tinubu’s Pictures by Darmi21: 7:09pm On Sep 24
Useless set of people just a minor repair u want to put president picture to appreciate him that is what u see when government doesn’t know their responsibilities in governance.
Re: Umahi Orders Decoration Of First Niger Bridge With Tinubu’s Pictures by Angelfrost(m): 7:10pm On Sep 24
Sigh... This is precisely why and what I hate about SYCOPHANCY.

Anyone listening to Umahi and Akpabio these days would never know or realize they were once two-term governors who were quite well respected.

...Now, they are nothing more than glorified court jesters in key positions.


It's a crying shame how people can sacrifice their good names and legacies for money and personal ambitions.
