An iron bridge that was constructed only God knows when has collapsed in Akwa Ibom state. The bride is said to be a major link between two local governments, Obot Akara and Ikot Ekpene local government in the state. The collapse was due to a fully loaded truck with cement that was attempting to pass the road. Meanwhile, villagers can be seen helping themselves with the fallen bags of cement. Naija way.

See photos below.

So the bridge is zinc..smh

Oga so4u, abeg wake up day don break. No be Imo state you dey oooo.

The bridge in question was built in the 50s and 60s. It is one of the few left in modern Nigeria.

Please if anyone knows a community with such bridge post the image in Facebook and tag Engr Etido Inyang.
What will Engr Etido Inyang do?

Just shows human being are bunch of opportunist

See those people stealing those bags of cement like it their birth right.. This same set of people will also complain about the the government stealing from the citizens.. But will also steal if they find them self in government.

Is their hope for Nigeria? Serious honest questions


But who told you they were stealing the cement. Ono na ndo fu okwa.

This same question comes to mind. I guess Africans are cursed. Every continent is making headway except Africa.

Black people! undecided

Can the black man ever build and maintain infrastructure?

I'm beginning to think the average black man has an I.Q lower than that of an ape.

What kind of engineers we have that are not safety conscious?They built a bridge without defining specific load it can carry or precautionary measures to take.
