President Jonathan today March 10th performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the
construction of the 2nd Niger Bridge. The bridge which would cost
N117.8 billion is expected to be completed within 48months. The 1st
Niger bridge was built in 1965. Continue to see more photos...

Dividends of subsidy removal! Vote GEJ 2015
What kind of bridge costs N117.8 billion???????????
WHy Davido is better dan wizkid.Celebrities are no strangers to controversy and are constantly care.ssing the spotlight as much on screen as they do off it, that it is often expected that they have at least one major scandal or two over the course of their careers.
For the controversy-laden Davido, even his debut single, “Back When”, was not without much ado. With a billionaire father and the good things of life coupled with an Asika for a manager and a Naeto C guest verse to boot, it was quite contradictory and unbelievable that he’d be singing of times when he had been broke.
The comparisons with Wizkid were ominous, for even Olamide had been subjected to similar scrutiny as the EME act became the datum for auto-tuned hooks and repetitive lyrics. It is little wonder then that many have trumped up a silent rivalry between the two, claiming it is the reason why both performers are yet to record a joint together.
When he released his Omo Baba Olowo album, critics were quick to dismiss it as a half-baked collection of average club singles. At the album launch, the presence of Aliko Dangote brought again to the fore his family’s affluence and additional criticism. Like Naeto C again before him, the singer meandered his way through and has come to be a success not only because of his father’s cash, but besides it.
This is due to the boy’s industrious nature. On the song “Life”, Paedae, one half of Ghanaian hip life duo, R2Bees rapped: “I think life is like Davido and Wizkid/one from the ghetto, the other a rich kid/But they both running their games artistic.”
“The way Davido has been putting in work this year,” observed someone on Twitter the other day, “you’d think he came across the family will and didn’t find his name in it.”
A statement is credited to him as having said in December last year that he’d recorded a myriad of hits, waiting to go ballistic. January 2014 had barely walked through the door than they started dropping.
Statistically, there have been at least 10 joints up on music blogs that he has lent his vocals to, in this first quarter of the year alone, excluding his smash hit, Aye.
On the issue of who’s the better artiste between Davido and Wizkid, the jury’s still out but the former’s records are intimidating. Wizkid may have been in the industry long before his contemporary, but until 2013, he had only toured Africa and the UK. Davido on the other hand, has been a constant performer in several parts of Europe since he burst onto the scene and was even reportedly arrested once in Prague. As hits go, not one of Wizkid songs – which almost always turn out to be a hit – has been as big as “Dami Duro” or “Skelewu”; the Youtube stats, the number of parody videos, the Hulkshare downloads and the fans in other countries do not lie. Simply put, while Wizkid makes hits, Davido drops monster hits. Unlike Star Boy, the younger Adeleke is also a producer. He also repeats lyrics far less often, unlike Star Boy.
He split with his former manager, Asa Asika when the latter began to bend the basic rule of music management: never outshine your act. He’s also picked an efficient PR team that continues to weather the storm with him and his HKN label mates.
More importantly, he’s graduated from being the One Week, One Trouble kid who couldn’t walk through the pottery class without breaking something to a modern-day Perseus gifted by the gods; his career taking flight like Pegasus. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of young David Adeleke.
Colourful pics, dutiful and supportive Peter
Master stroke from GEJ. The campaigns for 2015 has begun in earnest in SE. If he can just see through this project, he would have made history and etched himself in the minds of people in SE and SS.
Good.
Thank you Mr President.But please,let this not turn into another abandoned project.

Lekki ikoyi link bridge costs N29 billion and is 1.3km...2nd Niger bridge costs N177 billion and is 1.8km.
For how long will these pple continue to fool us? they are saving money for oncoming elections,am nt a politician bt truth must b told,something need to b done to remove this useless,heartless,greedy,selfish and corrupt govt frm power,corruption at its peak in this country.immagine, virtually N120billion after careful deduction will b stolen again. nigerians where are we heading to?
Another project uncompleted project on the way. Oga Jonnah abeg finish the ones u ve started already b4 starting another one.
At long last. Would never have taken off if a Yoruba or Hausa were to be the President of Nigeria.
Finally! Uncle joe good job! It's long overdue. Atleast u've just given me a reason to smile & believe u r from the south. I've started thinking u were an aboki, cos excess hold up during Christmas @asaba. And the road eeh! Only 1 & it's not even perfect. Thanks, God bless u

Whatever north has east will have, whatever east has north will have and whatever north and east have west will have, whatever west has north and east will have. I see it in your action just as you said, go ahead your bias predecsesors and their admirers with short sight followers gang-up in their confusion they will fail even as they try taking the blood of the innocent, you must deliver on your most important promise in Jesus name

Build the bridge THEN make noise
At last, thank you GEJ
God will grant us visionary leadership how's a 111b what we need now why not eject that money into the economy why not finance credit system why not even spily it among the populace

Ok nice one
Abacha was d 1 dat brot GSM while OBJ followed it up.
Y didn't OBJ do dose tins u challenge GEJ with?
Another delutional HE goat. Where did u get that information from? APC paid agent trying everything poSsible to rubbish this administration. Ok, let's go there. Were u aware that fashola bought thesame bullet proof car that cut off oduah's head for a price even higher than what oduah was supposed to pay for the transaction that didn't sail through? I'm sure everybody will turn a blind eye to that because its APC abi? Good will purnish all the mischief makers on this blog. Like it or leave it, GEJ all the way. Go hug transformer if u re pained.
@sharkslord....hw much were u paid to write dos gibberish..
u wey spose dey look for ur own way u goin about likin the ass of a guy u old enuf to b his father...lord av mercy on ur fowl brains....GEJ nice work bt we need more of ur wrk in the security sector
Did u read? Within 48 months to complete......48/12 = 4 years.
There's still an average of 4 "go slows" to travel to ur village for Xmas
@ Chuks you are deluded. Did you start using GSM when Abacha was in Govt? He only awarded the contract and to his cronies but they were cancelled and reawarded by Obasanjo and it is the dividend that you are enjoying now.
How precisely?
Don't u think u'r so daft and myopic for ever comparing a common link bridge and a big bridge meant for heavy traffic and vehicles round d clock?
Why not show us the way forward,,fool???

@anon 12:00, God will continue to bless you, u just spoke my mind here, I wish linda can stop posting things about politics bcos some idiots comment here makes me go mad, don't mind dem they are bunch of ignorant cows.
Mallam Labaran Musa.
Must you criticise, ignorant Bastard.
Mallam Labaran Musa.
You are a fool by calling him useless president.
Please appreciate and shut up!
GEJ, all your pipe dream projects towards 2015 won't work. You can construct 12-Lane boulevards across all the states of the federation if you like but just like I keep telling you; 2015 will be your greatest catastrophe simply b'cos you lied to us & we can no longer tolerate filthy politicians taking us for a ride.
You promised us basic Amenities like Constant Power Supply, Security of lives & Properties, Motorable Roads, Water e.t.c but we're yet to see any of these. You don't deserve a second chance when there are people looking for their first. Therefore, take heart & be courageous for I'm convinced that the wrath of God is upon you.
BTW: If you want to get the Igbos rolling on the floor for you in ecstasy, just caress them on these 3 issues: Biafra, Ojukwu & the 2nd Niger Bridge.

Great politician nw dat ur ternour is coming to an end u. Remember. Big projets no cudos for doin what wud ve been done ever since
Sharkslord nice one on the piece on David and wizkid. Linda u need to take that as a story and run with it. That's some analytical entertainment reporting. Nice.
HAVE YOU NOTICED? That the Federal Government would not commission any project that is not costed above a billion naira? And why must it take 4years? That's way too long.
Instead of looking for proper security in the country to terminate Boko haram... .. Anyway that's an improvement!

C maga wa dy call e fada mate fool,u don fit control ur huz wa u dy bring mouth 4 person wa dy rule over billons pple
nice one toh...ad pls the best of engineers should see to this construction
Are Nigerians that Stupid?
The president dr Ebele Goodluck Jonathan has been acting president since 2009 and became the president in 2011, he made the promise of building the 2nd Niger Bridge around 2010-2011 during the Presidential Campaign now about 4 years after! and a couple of months to another presidential election we are having a ground Breaking Ceremony not Commissioning Ceremony and some people are happy? I don't get it!
And some people will be too blind to see that this is a campaign strategy... God help us please!.
CAN YOU PEOPLE SEE?
Sorry I want to ask just a tiny question, is this in the 2014 budget?
why not spend this money on health care, Nigeria has the worse hospital in any developing country.
Tai God bless you!ur children would never be blind!
@dorothy shut ur mouth up!his useless
He is doing all this just so he would be re-elected as president in 2015.I am positive this bridge will not be completed as promised.
He is doing all this just so he would be re-elected as president in 2015. From past experience the bridge might not even be completed as promised.
Nice move from our president#
I guess that bridge is located at your backyard.
C'mon, gerrout there! Who know u? Bloody, tribalistic anonymous!
Sept 2013
In just this past month alone, we have seen a fulfilment of two major Jonathanian promises. The Akanu Ibiam Airport is now officially an International Airport as its facilities have been upgraded to meet ICAO standards and it received its first international commercial flight. Also, the rail services have been revived from Apapa Port to the North.
In these two instances, the Jonathan administration has put money back in the wallets of Nigerian citizens. Every time someone flies internationally from the Akanu Ibiam Airport, he saves sixty thousand Naira that would have been spent paying for connecting flights to Lagos, Port Harcourt or Abuja. And every time you receive a container by rail in Northern Nigeria from Apapa Port, you would have savedperhaps fifty thousand Naira that would have been spent on additional cost from hauling your container by road.
And this is just for last month. Time would not permit me to highlight the 153 Almajiri schools built in every state of the North to serve our children who are engaged in the almajirinciform of Qu'ranic education (a total of 400 are to be delivered), or the ongoing reconstruction (not repair) of the Lagos-Ibadan road for which 167 billion has already been reserved to prevent the project being an abandoned project, or the dredging of the River Niger up to Baro in Niger state to make that port accessible to ships, or the establishment of the Green Belt Zone along Nigeria's Northern borders to end desertification, or the signing of the HYPADEC bill into law to enable the people of the Hydro Electric producing areas benefit from their God given resources, or the current massive multi billion Naira efforts to save the Lake Chad from drying up. This is besides the fact that those states which did not have a federal university prior to President Jonathan's ascendancy now have at least one university, thanks to this administration's establishment of nine new universities.
I have identified these projects on purpose because they were meant to be priority projects of yore but were however left unattended until one man called Jonathan Goodluck entered the scene.
Why has it taken an "incompetent" President Jonathan to grow Nigeria's economy at over 6% per annum since he ascended to the presidency? Why has it taken an "incompetent" administration to get Nigeria to be promoted from a "Low Income Nation" to a "Middle Income Nation" by the World Bank? Again, it took an incompetent administration to ensure Nigeria won its first African Cup of Nations in 19 years. If previous administrations had been this 'incompetent', then Nigeria would have long since overtaken South Africa as Africa's largest economy, but we did not achieve this feat until an 'incompetent' Jonathan was brought to office by the votes of over 22 million Nigerians.
5:33AM, if u like go and commit succide in Zohara desert, Igbos wd rather vote GEJ than vote any Islamic terrorist hiding under APC.
Tribal bigot!
