Where is the FG presence in the SW ? We all know that the SW is the least developed in Nigeria so we are all suffering but the SW is even worse

Are u serious SW is far far far developed than SE, you've obviously not been there...

And some idiots insulted gudluck

2nd niger bridge is a luxury, 1st Niger bridge is still 100% kampe and not much traffic on it, only occasional during yuletide

ovoko. 1984 and 2016 hv things in common. by 2019 d political crooks can repackage Maradona(IBB) and pple will vote for him. kikikiki. "the problem of Nigeria don dey show hin face to us, soldier go soldier come soldier go -Fela"

Nigeria should better be sold,than all these rubbish.

When there is no continuity..... u will experience change .... this story is going as expected... let's hope we don't wait for 20years b4 it is completed

My question is what exactly is wrong with the first one

Lol..... who wan buy Nigeria

Well I'm never baffled when things ike this come on the news. This has been the Nigerian way

Joe4lv:
If federal govt can't do the bridge due to funding, they should realise that a typical Igbo man is rich and should create a platform for them to contribute funds for the bridge with a promise of staking their names on the bridge and pay them back after a stipulated time frame.

140b is a small thing for just 200 Igbo men. Try this strategy and see the bridge stand in 4 years.

If you have banker friends located within the vicinity of any major market across the federation, ask them how Igbo men handle cash deposits and transfer. You will be amazed on what you will hear.

Igbo men are proud set of people in areas where their names will be engraved/immortalized so they can beat their chest and say I contributed to the building of that bridge,check my name when you get there.

God bless the Igbo race cos they are a rare race that have made Africa proud in so many facets of life.

U are a disgrace. Federal government just signed a budget of 30 billion dollars and igbo man should build Federal bridge from his pocket. I know ur not igbo so i will not go any further.

Igbo race---Rare race,tiger race, the race with survival instinct engraved in their DNA....no matter the negligence from the FG.south east will always survive. Even if that bridge collapse, they go still manage.

Imagine giving every single Igbo man in Nigeria only 20pounds after civil war,yet they are one of richest nowadays.....

It is good for us all as Nigerians to condemn evil in other to move this country forward. Instead of condemning evil, u are blaming who? GEJ?
That is pathetic. GEJ started work, Buhari canceal work, who is to blame? Sick!

that is why we need a national policy on development, so that whoever gets into power will act on it. Enough of abandonned projects

They cannot start a project, still they are cancelling one that has started.... That's change

Nigeria made a colossal mistake with Buhari.

Maybe Fashola cancelled it becos GEJ didn't plan to toll it.
You know say everything wet APC build with tax-payers money is tolled.

funkyibodude:
As expected!

when it come to d igbos there will be excuses of no money execute a meaningful project . But wen wike refuses to continue with amaechi evil monorail, Wike is wicked wike. Pmb is an ethnic n religious bigot.

Wat we need is true federalism and resources control, Buhari cannot be using my resources and denying me development at the same time. A beggar cannot be a chooser.

Budget based on oil and borrowing based on oil will not feature project in the oil rich region? Can the North take that if the oil was to be in the North?

Ekiti is just brown roofs.There is no development ,Osun the same we need River Osun Briddge oo!

That bridge MUST be completed. This is not a request. The FG has no option but to complete the 2nd Niger bridge.



****Mods, please quit stalking me****

Adaure4ever:
let us stop living in denial and hypocrisy, The South East have been treated badly by the FG, its a well known fact.

who was president the last 6 years? when you were treated badly? did you not read this part?

"the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole called on the former Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, to explain to Nigerians the whereabouts of the billions meant for the bridge as according to him, $700 million was drawn from the Sovereign Wealth Fund for the project."

This ur comment shows u have never made use of the 1st Niger bridge.....

So don't post comments out of ignorance

Buhari hate igbos

I feel you, International drug dealing, kidnapping, baby factories, exporting of collapsed buildings to Lagos, 419, online romance scam, bank fraud, rent a crowd, killing of wives in the US etc


worthy ambassadors truly representing!

Adaure4ever:
Is South East no longer part of Nigeria? why are the FG presence scarce in the geopolitical zone.?
Can God bless an Igbophobic country that is built on hatred, bitterness and unjustified blood shed?

Abeg swerve! Blame GEJ for not completing the project.

That's why they call u guys brown roof republic

Wat of lag, ondo, Oyo, ogun,

I can't even mention any state in the SE (ibo states)

All the yorubas getting happy for no reason should know that 70% of the construction engineers are yorubas.

Are you an IPOB youth? No surprises! You Ibos are hateful set of human beings, that is why no ones really cares about your or your noises. Ibos complain about being hated but can any part of Nigeria be more hateful that the ibo SE? Well, you get what you sow!!

danidee10:

I have now realized the error of my boastful ways and shall issue a public apology to the SE and Eboes soon.I realize that developmentally the SE is decades ahead of the SW and we need to catch up. I can only appeal to our Eboe brothers to show some understanding and fairness so we can catch up

They already have one River Niger but we have no bridge in our region traversing the major rivers.Also we need government support to change the brown roofs that causes so much embarrassment ,let us call that the Brown Roof Substitution Fund.Out of a budget of $30 billion I think it is fair to set aside $1 billion for this fund

God Bless Nigeria

unstableaswater:
This is the nonsense the North did during their military domination of presidency, that maiduguri, kano and sokoto have the best road networks to any region in Nigeria and the oil producing states in the Niger Delta have very few to no roads at all.

Buhari have returned to continue the stealing of NigerDelta resources to the North. The last I checked the budget was based on oil production sale. The Second Niger Bridge enhances the transportation in the South, Middle belt and North. It connects all regions.

Is it wen Niger Bridge drop, they will start building a second to ease congestion and utility? Every person in Nigeria have cross and will cross from only one bridge built in the 1950s, that is truily sad.

Enough said only if they will listen

Outrage over what, what Jonathan did for the east? Igbo keep finding fault against Buhari on everything even when it is obvious the past government which they so celebrated was the cause, they should go and ask the pdp man Oshiomole accused to be in possession of the 700billion meant for the project or any Igbo man that is disgruntled with this government should go and plung into the Niger bridge river, the government owes you nothing.

"Buhari hates Igbos", 'we are watching him (Buhari) closely etc. WHAT BLOODY NONSENSE!!
Just for ten months? Where were you all when our own Goodluck Jonathan was President for six as in 1 2 3 4 5 6 YEARS?
IF JONATHAN COULD NOT CONSTRUCT THE SECOND NIGER BRIDGE IN SIX YEARS, WHY MUST SAME BRIDGE BE IN BUHARI' S PRIORITY LIST?
Besides, if I were Buhari, for such a mega project, I will recheck the contract terms and evaluate the extent of work already done and monies spent already before continuing with the whole thing.

Let us be honest here. Jonathan dragged this project because it was part of the bait to garner votes from you Igbos. It is curious that he took on the name Azikiwe just before commissioning. GEJ scammed you lot and you fell for it.

Blame your brother. Ask him for the project schedule. How much has been released and what scope should the initial sum cover?

Victim mentality makes your case weak. Begin to direct the right questions to the right people.

And where exactly are all these imaginary Yorubas you see jubilating over this report? Must everything be reduced to an Igbo vs. Yoruba matter? It might shock you to learn that there are actually Yoruba people who support any project that brings prosperity to other parts of the country!
