dats why we as people need to vote in a new government... BUHARI FASHOLA....
a new government you say,but same old mentality. Until we as a people change the way we reason,the way we act,the way we do things *in TUPACS voice* I see no changes. Buhari/Fashola is not the answer,neither is GEJ the problem. The problem is we need attitudinal change,not a change of government. But an wholistic self appraisal. Individually and collectivelly abeg o don tire to type because so many things are wrong.

The only one was built by a Northerner! in 1965 and it took less than 1 year to complete.
Was Nnamdi Azikiwe a northerner? Less than 1 year because the bridge is not wide enough

But we have been using that bridge since 1960? Nobody should insult GEJ on second niger bridge being built or not,after all we have had leaders since 1960 and non thought it wise enough to build a second bridge except Jonathan. Note: I don't care whether he wins or losses his next election but second niger bridge built or not should never be a yardstick. He don try sef as he don moblize workers to start.past leaders no even do tikom there
At least he campaigned with it.

Please no name calling. Let's be objective. I wonder sometimes what happens with our people and their attitude towards leadership. I drove through the Enugu-Onitsha Road nine years ago and it was under construction. I drove same road again two months ago and it is still under construction and worse. The only industries in Enugu are politics and hotel business. It hurts to see our young men and women mentally abused by local politicians who enslave their destinies. Such youths are only viable at political youth meetings rather that in offices, schools and factories. Let's face reality, what have we gained from standing still with a government that is on standstill.

You just might be experiencing damping effect due to maybe the condition and type of expansion joint bearings.
There's also a phenomenon called synchronous lateral excitation.
Take care.

Lol! Nnamdi Azikiwe was a ceremonial President but the Prime Minister was Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. I only wrote that as a response to the tribalist who wanted to blame Northerners. Amaechi the other day listed what Northerners did in Rivers State and it cannot be disputed. My take is that y'all should stop creating North/South dichotomy and face the real issue.

I want Igbos to build that bridge without being ridiculed by Jonathan or whoever is in charge. I will personally donate 10million and I expect other Igbos to do alike according to their capability. We can raise the money in one month.

I agree with you. But work is on going based on the reports we have read in the past few months. Remember, we can't behave like Mbe that has spent 9 days inside the toilet only for his people to come in the 10th day torescue him he started ranting that they should be fast about it that he can no longer bear the stench of shhit.

my desr, u see, Nigeria wil always continue to be nigeria..the name will not change to united states of america or south africa... When it comes to changin our way of thinkin, its a personal decision and u cant force the next person beside u to do dat.... In politics, its a whole different perspective different from the common layman... U have forces who want to get u down by all means, u also hav forces who u dnt hav any option dan to please and be loyal to dem, u also hav forces who u just csnt predict thr next line of action ... Now all what am tryn to point out is this, politicians will always be politicians...thr is no change in that... We as humans cant change the situation, but we can change ourselves to change the situation by first not becomin hypocrites.....scondly, by takin the lead at all times so dat we will feel the itch wen we put on the shoes of the other person who is in power... I, myself , i hav been a leader in one certain point in my life and i wont lie to u that i hav in one way or the other be led by the spirit of politics in takin decisions... I thought to myself, was it not me who used to say i cnt do dis, or used to judge , but as soon as i was in d shoes, i acted like how evry normal politician would do... Now bak to nigeria, i am not votin buhari cuz its buhari, no , i am voting buhari fashola because of the man behind buhari which is fashola... I beleive dat fashola if he declares his interest of bein president, the whole country will vote him in..... These two figures if u watch dem closely hav made a significant inpact in nigeria dirin thr reign in power.... Buhari is no no nonsense takin person...fashola is also...ds is the kind of combination we need now come 2015....

yea it is and work is ongoing there, ask yourself this question the people your craving to vote in have been there before why din't they act then knowing fully well that the road is a major route to SW ? and what makes you think they will act if they are voted in ? All I can say is that the president is working it might seem slow but he sure included all region.

Who saw the bridge? The op is posting from there and there is no work on any second bridge. They are deceiving you to vote for mediocrity.
