Second Niger Bridge completed, says Fashola https://cdn.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/13140252/2nd-Niger-bridge-e1542114182640.jpg The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on Wednesday, confirmed that the construction of the 2nd Niger bridge is now completed and will soon be released to the public for use. He stated this at an ongoing press briefing to present the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s (retd.) scorecard in Abuja. According to him, the only factor delaying the commissioning of the road is the construction of the link road which the recent surge of flooding has impeded. He said, “I can confirm that the second Niger bridge itself is finished. People can walk through the bridge now unimpeded. What remains is the four-kilometer link road on the Asaba side. “Right now, our dredger is in place, we have to rebuild the road by reclaiming sand, the recent surge of flood has slowed us down. On the Onitsha side, there is a 7kilometer road that links the bridge and the Onitsha-Owerri interchange.” https://punchng.com/breaking-second-niger-bridge-completed-says-fashola/ |
SouthCaroliina:Oh dude shut up. You're an embarrassment. Mr South Carolina. Home of neo-nazi racist rednecks and the ku klux klan. You think we don't know that they follow you round the store there to ensure you're not stealing, being 'black'? 10th class citizen feeling funky. |
emmanuel596:Mr poor masses. Go on YouTube and learn an IT skill for free and join the tech revolution. You will access it. Not if you sit in your backyard blaming govt. Wasting time on NL talking of 'poor masses'. You can either be a 'poor mass' or you can upskill yourself and move up. |
TakeNigeriaBack:OR THE PICTURES OF THE SARDAUNA OF SOKOTO, AHMADU BELLO, PRIME MINISTER TAFAWA BALEWA, AKINTOLA, ETC, WHOM THE 1966 IGBO COUPISTS MURDERED WHILE LEAVING ALL THE IGBO LEADERS TO WALK FREE. THIS WAS THE START OF THE PROBLEM. |
Warning to JAPA BRIGADE To Escape Babylon (USA) Judgment Revelations 4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 5 for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. 6 Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup. 7 Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’ The USA has committed all sorts of crimes against humanity, from slavery to invasions of multiple countries, to the genocide of the original settlers of the country to being the biggest weapons manufacturer and supplier on Earth, to supporting dictators, to unfair dominance of the world economy via the dollar, the IMF, and World Bank policies that have impoverished billions of people... the list is endless. If YOU were God would you not have a plan to deal with this country? Would you just let them continue indefinitely? ![]() |
SenatePresdo:Err, no, death by nuclear radiation, nuclear winter, and nuclear waste poisoning the water and atmosphere is not ''painless''. No use your head.. |
4teenblaq:Obi was still WRONG to say the 10 poorest states are in the north. What he should have said is that ''9 of the top 10 poorest states in Nigeria are in the north.'' He claims to be educated, so he should talk like an educated person. |
The so-called 'police stations' they are setting up worldwide, are to monitor Chinese settlers and visitors to the respective country. Beijing is a dictatorship obsessed with surveillance of its people. |
budaatum:The slave trade and what led up to it is far more complex than this toddler analogy. To condense it, the 'trade' began by large ships armed with cannon arriving from Europe and berthing at little coastal villages in West Africa. They came out of the ships and DEMANDED x number of captives for shipment. They came armed with FIREARMS and ARTILLERY against villagers who still used iron weapons. These heavily armed ships didn't arrive those coastal villages from thousands of miles away to ASK if the people had some of their people they would like to sell. And if the people said no, they would say ''oh, sorry!", and move on. The world didn't work that way in those days. There was no UN charter on human rights. No AU, or FG. It was come, see, and conquer (if you have the means). So when the ship would land and demand say 500 slaves, the village would raid its neighbour, to collect those captives and sell to the Europeans, to avoid having their village bombarded and destroyed by cannon fire. As more armed ships arrived the coasts seeking your ancestors, 'slave wars' became common, and spread into the interior, as each community tried to acquire captives to 'sell' to the Europeans. Another very common method the Europeans used was to arrive a coastal village and seek audience with the village chief, or group of elders. They would then kidnap him/them, (armed with firearms as defence) and then give the distraught villagers the condition that they would not be released till say 1000 people are provided for shipment. Can you imagine the kind of chaos and societal breakdown this would have caused in coastal West Africa? This was a region where there were no large empires or centralised states. Just little, independent villages and clans. The one major centralised kingdom there, Benin, banned the slave trade in its realms, and enforced it with a powerful military. Northern Nigeria was virtually exempt from the entire trade, as it was protected by powerful empires. So the slave trade ships simply took advantage of the fragmented nature of societies along the West African coast, and lack of resistance to their weapons etc. So, you see, the whole thing was far more complicated than your simply saying ''If I take you to market and sell you as a slave, would you blame me or the buyer?!'' It is a view based in lack of research on your part, of what actually transpired in the period. You simply assessed it like a layman (oh these stupid people sold each other). ![]() |
This sounds like the USA to me... Revelations 18 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2 With a mighty voice he shouted: “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. 3 For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.” Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment 4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 5 for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. 6 Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup. 7 Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’ 8 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. Threefold Woe Over Babylon’s Fall 9 “When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: “‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, you mighty city of Babylon! In one hour your doom has come!’ 11 “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves. 14 “They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’ 15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16 and cry out: “‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! 17 In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’ “Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18 When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, ‘Was there ever a city like this great city?’ 19 They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: “‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’ 20 “Rejoice over her, you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! Rejoice, apostles and prophets! For God has judged her with the judgment she imposed on you.” The Finality of Babylon’s Doom 21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. 22 The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No worker of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. 23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world’s important people. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. 24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.” |
2elliot:BRO, THE USA IS ''BABYLON THE GREAT'' OF THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS. SHE MEETS EVERY DESCRIPTION OF IT. Babylon the Great is prophesied to be destroyed ''in one hour'', by ''fire'', which signifies a thermo-nuclear attack. Could be China or Russia or both. |
romenna:Bro....you are right to hold on. Those wey dey there don dey make small small moves to return. The western world is heating up man. |
engrchykae:Thanks for educating the kid. He still doesn't understand this world and how it operates. |
budaatum:There is a lot you don't know. You know nothing about the slave trade and how it occurred. You've not studied or researched it in depth. You just typed ignorant rubbish off the top of your head, as in the subsequent 'points' you raised. Are you even aware of the history of CIA and western intelligence linked assassinations and depositions of progressive African leaders of the 60s and 70s, which led to the rise of more compliant, pro-western, and corrupt leaders in the 80s, 90s, till today? As for ''buying Tokunbos instead of making things for ourselves'', we have hundreds of factories across the nation manufacturing all sorts of things you know nothing about. Why not become a manufacturer yourself instead of imagining ''we'' have a problem? |
MufasaLion:TRUE, THERE ARE PARTS OF THE UK THAT YOU WILL NOT SEE ANYONE EXCEPT INDIANS. THEY'VE SETTLED THAT COUNTRY IN THEIR MILLIONS. AND MOST OF THEM NEVER GO BACK TO INDIA, EVEN FOR HOLIDAYS. |
aikyg:SHUT UP. THERE ARE MANY INDIAN UNIVERSITIES RANKED BELOW NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES IN THE TIMES UNIVERSITY INDEX, WHICH I'M SURE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF. IGNORAMUS. |
gypsey:Americans shoot each other in the streets every single day. So go and kill an American na... When they ask you, say it doesn't matter, after all they kill themselves everyday. Mumu talking rubbish. |
Brunosamel:The opposite of Religion is not Atheism. The opposite of Religion is No Religion. You can believe you were fashioned by an intelligent entity, and even communicate with that entity, without being in any religion. |
FreeStuffsNG:INFERIORITY C0MPLEX IS THEIR PROBLEM. MANY WOULD RATHER GO TO A MUSHROOM SO-CALLED UNIVERSITY IN SOME BACKWARD INDIAN VILLAGE THAN ATTEND UNILAG OR UI OR UNN. |
FullBlastLight:IGNORANT, BRAINLESS, COLONISED DONKEY. LOW IQ MUMU. TELL US WHY CHINA AND JAPAN ARE DOING SO WELL SINCE THEY OBSERVE THEIR TRADITIONAL RELIGION. LEMME GUESS... YOUR TINY COLONISED BRAIN THAT IS JUST THERE FOR DECORATION NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT.. |
Msmither:Honestly, some of them are so far gone in their self hatred and racial inferiority complex, it is a fruitless task trying to reason with them. The white man did a real job on their heads. |
RighteousI:She is a low IQ, ignorant, self-hating, mentally colonized DONKEY just like you. |
Scribx:You are a walking dunce and airhead with no brain. Over a billion Indians observe their traditional religion daily. It often involves worshiping of cows and other animals. So why has India been the fastest growing economy on Earth for the last 20 years? Why has God not rained down curses and misfortune on them? I have met Asians who are christians, muslims etc. One thing they NEVER DO is trash and insult their traditional religions. It is only Africans (specifically Igbo Nigerian christians) who do this. Who cursed you to hate yourselves and background/history to this extent? You're mentally sick but don't even realise it. |
Ikem11:You're talking rubbish and telling lies. The economy did not suffer after FESTAC. The economy boomed and boomed for a full 6 years after FESTAC until the world oil price crash of 1982 sent the country into recession. The country felt only a little pain because it had hefty savings from previous years. But the economy began to bite around '84 and '85 when Gen Babangida now went to the IMF for the infamous IMF loan bailout. The country implemented the IMF 'remedy', the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP). The IMF gave Nigeria various 'conditionalities' such as devaluation of the naira, spending cuts, and liberalisation of trade, ie opening the Nigerian market to all manner of foreign imports. Many developing countries at this time went for the same SAP as their economies struggled. The programme was controversial as it led to many economic problems for countries. That was the beginning of economic travails in Nigeria, and it had absolutely nothing to do with God supposedly being angry with Nigeria for celebrating African culture at FESTAC 77. |
judedwriter:COLONISED MUMU. So African culture in your colonised head is 'idolatry'? FESTAC was done precisely to rid Africa of stupid, brainless mumus like you. The civil war that killed millions of people a few years before FESTAC, who will you blame for that? The African gods as well? Or Satan was paying us in advance before FESTAC? Stupid mumu. |
Akoja360:Strictly your opinion. A ridiculous one at that. |
siofra:Most Asians countries have not ''made it''. Nepal, Burma, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Laos, Cambodia, Tibet etc. The few 'tigers' that 'made it' were deliberately selected and elevated by the west after world war 2 (via technology transfer, massive, cheap credit facilities and opening their markets to their manufactures) in order to have them serve as capitalist bulwarks against rampaging Soviet communism in the Asia Pacific. For Africa, their policy has always been to have it remain a supplier of raw materials for western industry. And they go to every length to maintain that, including imposing import restrictions and high tariffs on goods manufactured in Africa (No tariffs on raw materials though). |
Myer:African religion is based on the belief that lesser deities exist, which compliment, but are subservient to the Almighty Creator. It is not for you to say they are wrong, because you don't know. What we DO KNOW is that AFRICAN RELIGION WAS THE FIRST ON EARTH, and Africa is the CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION. Go tell that to the white colonialists that taught you 'Jesus' and 'Mary'. |
soojar:Oh, it's a magnificent anthem. I teared up when I heard it recently after so many years. |
The Mods are doing well on this site. Kudos. |
Realist12:So long as Obi is not breaking the law, he has every right as a Nigerian to contest the presidency. And in whatever format or configuration or party he chooses. Not really sure what you're on about. |
