I'm talking of Lekki - Ikoyi bridge and you are talking of China.

juicee1:
what about the Jiazhou bay bridge in china that is constructed 42km over an ocean for just $1.5billion compared to 2NB of just 2km going for $700million?

Isn't that scam enough?

Zoharariel:


Barcanista; so in your psychotic & deluded state of mind, the chinese Jiazhou Bay Bridge is a single-lane bridge?

The only sensible Igbo man with foresight is the Chris Ngige. The average Igbo man think like deluded albino Nnamdi Kanu that is why they will forever remain enemies of themselves not Nigeria.

yimikaa:
Overpriced lekki - ikoyi link bridge(1.3km) - 29billion naira.

2nd Niger bridge (1.7km) - 117 billion naira.

Using the over priced lekki - ikoyi link bridge as reference, the 2nd Niger bridge should be overpriced at 37.9 billion naira.

And federal government is to pay 30billlion naira,meaning the contractor will just support with 7.9billion naira for the project and they will still collect toll for 25years.

117 - 37.9 = 79.1 billion naira to be stolen by the corrupt elements in jonathan's government.

so You really believed what the op wrote, you better do your findings.

the bridge has 6lanes, 2railway tracks ,
the bridge is 2km, but they are no roads leading to the bridge requiring new roads to be constructed about 10km new roads.

its funny why those that have the real facts about the bridge don't come out to tell the truth allowing lies to thrive

kettykin:


Lekki bridge is a single lane bridge that will not carry more than 1000 cars, Onitsha hold up presently is more than 10 km made up of trailers, buses cars, vans etc

TonyeBarcanista:
Thank you! Only a Foooool will believe that a meagre 2km bridge will cost that much. They FAILED to put into consideration the railway tracks, about 6 lanes of the bridge and connecting 10Km rods that will come with it. The plan of Buhari is to cut-short the project which he has done.

OrlandoOwoh:

How about placing the lengths and amounts of the 2 Niger Bridge and that of China that the OP highlighted side by side?

Happiness87:


buhari wants to claim the project, its a massive one.

i did a write up on it, but Lost it because I didn't save it, its very broad

TonyeBarcanista:

Please can you do another?

Happiness87:
stop fooling yourself

the bridge is 6lanes, 2railway tracks

there is no road leading to the bridge new roads are being constructed

everything is about 12km

go offline nairaland and get your facts right and stop depending on propaganda

OrlandoOwoh:
I will crosscheck and get back to you on this!

OrlandoOwoh:

Shut up!

baralatie:


that is how to counter a point!

Happiness87:
hahaha Blind followers hate truth
hahaha, he loves to be assured that the lies he believes is the truth

OrlandoOwoh:

Stop editing my comment. I told her "shut up", and I meant it. I have no time to waste.

OrlandoOwoh:
fixed!

Happiness87:
I'll try, i have another on refinery, it all about time so that I can compile them well,

PDP needs to stop up their use of media, debunk lies as soon as possible with facts, people tend to believe the first thing They hear,

if pdp will employ me am ready to resign from my job and work or part time

U dey mind dem'?

Fortunately, the opinions on here is not a true reflection of the wiser adult population on the streets.

If China can build a 40km, 6 lane bridge (with 27Km of it over deeper waters) in 4 years; the 11.8 km third mainland bridge (Lagos) was completed in roughly 3years by 'thieving' IBB, after OBJ abandoned the project in 1978.

Even the proposed fourth mainland bridge on more treacherous terrain, after inflation, is to cost far less per KM (depending on prevailing exchange rate) .

And we have some keyboard warrior kids who should be seeking knowledge and answers, blindly supporting an obviously 'overrrrr' inflated contract of a 2KM bridge practically taking forever to build.

It's sad. Honestly.

OrlandoOwoh:

Shut up!

OrlandoOwoh:

Shut up!

Just STFU kid!

You mean I should rather have told the truth that the bridge itself over water is less than 2KM, actually 1.55KM?

The 3 comparisons I made were all purely over-water lengths (with their extended parts over paths that demolitions and compensations would have to be done).

You are so fxcking st00pid and blinded by sentiments to acknowledge the truth, even if it is shoved down your fxcking throat.

The above was my piece on the bridge some 3weeks ago.

I once did a comprehensive write-up on the refinery...

That shut the mouth of APC NL forever!

Happiness87:


[s]keep comparing Nigeria to china, hag hahaha

the project is 12km
6lanes, 2railway tracks
48months timeline

there are no roads leading to the bridge
10km new links roads are to be constructed.


Do you research well on the project before you accuse people wrongly[/s]

989900:



'Liar-liar' .

989900:


Don't most bridges need to have roads built leading to them?

At what cost?
In what time frame?
Can you give a comparative project (cost and time), anywhere else?

Happiness87:
[s]hahaha blind follower you know nothing about the project.


Fg is even compensating land owners where the new roads are passing

you know nothing am out of here
have told you to go learn about CR, QHSSE, project management, logistics and supply, contracts assessment and consultancy,[/s]
