The 37 year old metropolitan bridge linking the largest populated suburb in Enugu City, Enugu State, has collapsed. The Abakpa-Nike main bridge, built shortly after the Nigerian civil war, collapsed on Wednesday night June 6th after heavy rainfall, cutting off one million residents of the city. Fortunately, no life was lost in the mishap.
The State Govt has deployed construction workers to site to rebuild the bridge
THE WAY THINGS RE HAPPENING IT JUST SAYS ITS THE END TIME....TOO MANY CALAMITIES IN THIS WORLD
ReplyDeleteThank God no life was lost. What if it happened during the busy hours of the day? It would definitely had been tragic.

ReplyDeleteLost of lives?????#okbye
DeleteNigeria and poor maintanance culture!!! The bridge had to collapse first before it could be fixed!!! Thank God no life was lost..
ReplyDeleteSBG God bless u! Why do we always need disasters as wake up call, in Nigeria? Same with Dana crash. There had been so much rottenness in the Avaition industry. Signs where there. They all played blind, deaf, dumb to it. Until the Dana crash. Now everyone's woken up from their medieval slumber
DeleteMaintenance culture? We dnt av any!
DeleteFuck up!
ReplyDeleteTo God be the glory, no life was lost.
ReplyDeleteLinda there we go again all the money meant for maintenance are being used to buy property abroad that they do not even reside in. the one for example that bank-ole bought here in surrey is derilate as i leave in surrey not far from the property. useless people
ReplyDeletePoor country
ReplyDeleteU way dey talk say poor maintance,u knw ow many yrs dat bridge don dey,no b me n u dey pour dirty der..rubish talk..abakpa na d place i leave so kp ur mouth shout..FOOL
ReplyDeleteNigeria and her governments. I am sick n tired of selfish and senseless people. Is it until bridge collapses before they do something? shouldnt dey conduct maintenance regularly?
ReplyDeleteOne million ans one reason Nigerians in the diaspora would not return.
What about the Niger Bridge? GEJ had better fulfill his campaign promise of constructing a second alternative bridge before the worst will happen because we are tired of his condolences and 'it will not happen again' press releases.

All one needs to do is make his ways right b4 God cos at any time, anything can happen. Lord have mercy.
ReplyDeleteand d state govt waited 4 d bridge 2 collapse 1st b4 repairs.....
ReplyDeleteThat is Nigerians for you. We like Medicine after death. Didn't the stupid Governor know that it was collapsing before? He had to wait till it totally collapse.
ReplyDelete@SBG, June 8, 9.33AM- maintenance would only have delayed the inevitable- that bridge would eventually have given way regardless of whether or not it is maintained on a regular basis- if you look closely at the picture, you will see that the bridge was constructed on soil that is eroding- I understand that soil erosion is a major problem in the east and heavy rain creates problems for the soil. The weird thing is that the soil being diverted for road building would have been better suited to agriculture
ReplyDeleteThis is getting too much, dear lord help your people in this country!!
ReplyDeleteI wl nt forget this bridge cos i grew up in Abakpa Nike ! Just imagining the stress that 3million people living there wl be facing now!
ReplyDeleteHahahhahahahah... They will patch it and make you people thank them for patching it. Better get your asses off the couch, ask for a new bridge and better maintainance b4 millions die like its the norm.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it dat we hv no maintenance culture in ds country? Do we hv to watch till a dilapidated buildin collapse b4 we move to into action? Ds habit is really ruining a whole lot of infrastructure in ds nation!
ReplyDeleteNigerians are used to managing. Managing without water, power, security etc. managing bad network services- Mtn and the other shitty networks.
DeleteWe just manage and say that is how we do it in Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteIt is not the end of anything! Nigeria needs to develop a culture of maintaining her infrastructures.
ReplyDeleteI am nneka,
