Babangida did not buld the 11km third mainland bridge with 2 trillion naira.

Why is your brain so painful to you? During Babangidas regime and now is it the same economic indicator? How much was exchange rate and inflation? Talk less of salary. Or should we be paying 1987 Engineers salaries for the project of #120 per month?

Note: I’m not a fan of Buhari but I don’t criticize like a fool.

Because Lai said it, I don't believe it!

Indirect campaign to gain the hearts of the easterners,why now that election is few months away.

FG using fake project to tickle the senses of zombiies since 2015! When will they have sense!

Everyday bridge this, bridge that. This bridge no dey finish to complete so? Even if na London bridge, e no take this kyn time and resources.

Complete the danm bridge! Once and for all. Shikena!

Shebi na they same FG that over 20 states are dragging for uncompleted / abandoned road contracts? Nansense and ingredients

When will this government stop lying? Total cost for the 2nd Niger bridge was estimated at about N100bn snd now they are telling us they have released N206bn for a link road, same way Osinbajo lied that they released $2bn for the project during their campaign in Anambra

You are the one with a slow thinking so you couldn't undestand the basic logic I put there.

200 billion is $550 million for a 2 km bridge that has already been built to more than 30%?

Use you brain,

Are you comparing 1987 and 2018? Please reset your brain.

BUHARI AMAKA









check out this 99% sure banker odd for today BET9JA games here

Igbo people AFSURFAAD in this country!
The second Niger bridge will be used to campaign for Buhari in 2019 election. I am sure that some foolish Igbo people will support the bloody Buhari just the way they foolishly supported Jonathan.
OK, I bet that the bridge won't be anywhere close to completion by this time next year.
Those saying that the bridge is 30% completed, please go and do your investigation very well. Work on The bridge is not even 2% to anything .Only those pillars mounted by Jonathan's government are standing there.

na bridge make una dey construct upandan very soon buhari go do bridge from parlour to office idiot!!

Someone tell Buhari that he is stupid.


Back to Daura sure die.

Igba!

Akuko na egwu Mike Ejeagha

APPROVED WAT AFTER PASSING BUDGET?


APC SHOULD KEEP DECIEVING DEMSELVES.


TAKE 20 YEARS TO BUILD ON BRIDGE, IT SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT THE STATE OF THIS COUNTRY.


BUHARI IS LEAVING OFFICE IN 2019.

Fraudulent approvals.

For how long are they going to use this bridge as a tool for campaign?

There are several components not mentioned in the total bills. Do you know compensation would be paid to land owners, farmers and other stakeholders? Do you know the level of piling or resurfacing that needs to be done? I know it might not be up to 200 billion naira but might be close to it.
