What funded the third maninland bridge, undoubtedly one of the most critical infrastructures in Lagos after the ports? Is it oil money or not?

SWG25:
That is not the question. How was the construction of the third mainland bridge financed?

SWG25:
Somebody said in a thread that oil money was never used to develop Lagos. So I ask - What was used in building the third mainland bridge?

989900:
How much did the 3rd cost?

BankeSmalls:
Stories!

So why do our people cry and wail whenever division of this country is mentioned?
Why has our people not asked to leave this fruitless union and form our own nation if we are not parasites to SS and SE?
Why do we vigorously cling to oil production status even when the oil found in Ondo is less than 200 barrels a year?
Why do we sow trouble between SS and SE to make sure they never unite to rip this union apart?

But why?

Amberon11:
On the contrary, we do not all depend on each other. It is what the biologist will call parasitism - where the parasite only depends on its host, in which case the host doesn't need the parasite.

The Niger Delta has never depended on any other region in this nation. You speak of the north, brother, do they give us food for free?,don't we buy their food at an alarmingly high price as compared to what is achievable in the north? Haven't they stolen and still steal our oil on a daily basis? heck! if they cut supplies, we buy from Cameroon, its closer and cheaper!

The west you speak of, How exactly have my people benefited from them? in what capacity sir?

What about the East, what has their contributions been so far?,

Unnecessary noise
U leave ur country to go and depend on cameroun for food abi I can see how "intelligent" u are. I guess cameroun will willing supply u food out of the niceness of their heart with u strings attached!

Are u not even ashamed? First of all u dont even have the money to buy the food cos last I checked oil is worthless. At $30 a barrel, the so called republic of nigerdelta will barely be able to recoup investment let alone profit. But lets even review the situation

1. Oil is at an all time low
2. The oil will be bought at black market rate cos they know u are desperate and have no choice
3. The republic of niger delta will have no trading partner, u have no agreement with anybody, u have to market share and nobody will by ur oil


So stop deceiving urself with all this silly fantasies

oduastates:
Nope .
Money Made from making use of our ports .
Capital gains /stamp duty from the Nigerian Lagos stock exchange
Yoruba VAT and Corporate taxes.

SWG25:
It is a multi billion naira bridge.

SuperS1Panther:
[s] OP you are a learner.

3MB was built from Corporate Tax, revenue generated from the international airport, ports and border posts on our soil.

Try harder.

SW remains the the Financial capital of West Africa and probably even Africa.

SW produces the highest cement in Africa.

SW is hosting the highest number of multinationals in West Africa.

SW has the highest number of Universities in Africa.

SW produces oil,

SW has bitumen deposit.

SW is the home of entertainment in Africa.

SW produces both food and cash crop, with good land for animal husbandry.

SW is the home of fish farming.

The only UNESCO World Heritage Centre is in SW.

SW is simply the capital of West Africa.


You can hold the other parts of Nigeria into ransom, definitely NOT SW. Let Regionalism start and you will see the difference between light and day. [/s]

BankeSmalls:
Yorubas, lets Stop hating niger delta because of their oil.

989900:
That's not a figure.

BTW, do you know it was conceived by Gowon, started by OBJ, and finished by IBB over a span of roughly 15 years.

So, tell us the amount, so we can decipher if Lagos can afford it or not over 15 years.

SWG25:
Lagos can afford or the federal government? Was the bridge built by the state or the federal government? What are you unto?

modath:
OP, please tell your scavengers to blow it, SW will be fine, for every kobo spent in Lagos, the parasitic population from everywhere else has taken 1 naira of the essence of it with the pollution and population thing..

If they can blow 3MB, then we will know far!!

BTW, Lagos does not need oil money, Abuja sure but not SW...

5. Somalia will look like paradise compared to niger delta by the time various ethnic groups start fighting over who brings more to the table
6. U will be isolated by int'l community, cos no country on the face of the planet will recognise your phantom republic


So stop deceiving urself with all this silly fantasies. Nigerdelta depends on other regions to survive. U wont drink your oil!

989900:
I'm unto the fact that, even without the FG, Lagos can afford it without any help if it has to.

I'm still waiting for the cost though.

SWG25:
If Lagos can afford it, then why hasn't such a massive infrastructure been replicated in Lagos? Remember that Lekki bridge was privately funded. You guys are funny

SWG25:
So Lagos had oil in the 80s? Nice try but you failed.

BudeYahooCom:
All these sermons just to tie yourself down with a people you hate so much. Wonderful!

As it stands now majority of the south ( which the SE and SS represents) wants out of the contraption (whether Biafra or ND) and they represent the most enlightened part of the country. Your muslim brain can't be right while majority of the south is wrong. I don't know if Biafra will exist but i'm dead sure nigeria will not last forever the way it is.

989900:
You don't know the cost, but you can make all these assumptions?

SWG25:
[s]Does the cost matter? If lagos can afford it effortlessly, why hasn't an infrastructure of a smiliar size been constructed for the past sixteen years?[/s]

SWG25:

cstr8:
Someone said the SW was the capital of west africa and i had to laugh. That is what parasitism does to you.
You begin to ovestimate yourself beyond your natural level of togo and lome.
Imagine all the oil wealth being wasted by Nigeria being concentrated in just 6 SS states with the deepest and vastest coastline in west africa- that is an un-matchable economic potential. Even the likes of dubai and the gulf states would pale into insignificance when compared with the niger delta when such humongous wealth is put to decent use by a cerebral leader.

BankeSmalls:
Please stop insulting my tribe!

How can you imply that my tribe is too scared to fight a simple civil war and get our freedom the same way others had fought? You mean we are sissies and cowards in yoruba land?

This is very insulting to a great tribe like we yorubas.

989900:
That is to show you, Lagos is by far richer than your oil state, and if it had to keep its money, it wouldn't need anyone's money to finance its projects.

Is oil money paying for the 4th mainland bridge too?

I know u are not able to comprehend anything beyond hate, tribalism and bigotry. Its your trademark. But all u hateful evil seperatist remain an incosequential minority. Mostly childish noisemakers that cant think beyond hate
