ilugunboy:

Though your written English is awful...I still got the essentials in your comment...however I love specifics...from the top of your head, kindly mention something tangible a Yoruba man should be grateful to GEJ for....a legacy project or the so-called developmental project for the Yorubas.

lolz @you for saying that my written English is 'awful'... Why not just it that your brain is too dumb to comprehend my write ups? I am not bragging but you can never be a match to me when it comes to written or oral English.

alj harem: Igbos you can't keep hating others and think all will be fine. Now you need Julius Berger Nigeria ask yourselves who the owners are and you will see that you cannot do everything yourself. This is why we do not throw stone at a market place because it may hit our relatives.

Jb will build it so long as 60-70% goes to the,owners. Also it Must be toll at a rate of 2000 naira per for the next 50 years.

I love my se governors. They are the best.

so Julius Berger is now your fathers company? mine oh mine,so with grey in ur head and pubic hair u still think like a cow.Have u taken ur medication?

Garri the 1st: Misleading title

Not really, that bridge belongs to JB for 30 years before it returns to the people of Nigeria. We are not paying for this bridge, ibo people are paying for it.

This is a piece of advice which you are free to take or reject.

You should work on the use of punctuation marks, paragraphing, and small/capital letters before you call out Ilugunboy for a match.

There are other things you need to work on but start from those.


NB: No one is perfect ...

Keep deceiving yourself and your people. You mean to tell us that the government of the federal republic of Nigeria cannot build a 2 kilometre bridge but eats food of billions every year. Smh so jb has to tax the people so as to make there money back

not to defend government but the total bridge is 12km.

I am yet to know the importance of the second bridge to the South Easterners, if I have my way the first bridge should be bombed, removed and exchanged with pedestrian bridge.

We need other alternatives and necessity is surely the mother of invention.

Let's turn our face towards Old Eastern Nigeria

asha 80: not to defend government but the total bridge is 12km.

It's not...

From JB's last annual report:

Ibile Holdings Ltd. 65,997,000 5.5 % 65,997,000 5.5 %
Benue Investment and Property Company Ltd.62,561,358 5.2 %

Can you see clearly now? Ibile Holdings is the investment unit of LASG with offices behind Western House (an Oodua property btw).

The toll should be at least N50k for 'luxury' buses which works out at only N1k per enger. Ori ese were.....

do you realize that the whole stretch of the bridge will connect to both the enugu onitsha and onitsha owerri expressways?

That might be ALL the bridge they get after GEJ 'breaks ground' as part of his 2015 election o.

Abi you count Oworonshoki express all the way to Apapa and the other end to Ikoyi as part of TMB? Why o why do you guys sell yourselves so cheaply and laud very petty things inventing 'records' out of thing air? What is so difficult to understand about the following statement?

The construction giant mobilised equipment to the site in July for preliminary work pending the finalisation of the contract for the bridge and its approach road estimated at 12.4 kilometres, with the bridge alone having a length of 1.8 kilometres.

still no difference with what i wrote except that instead of writing 'whole stretch of bridge' i should have written the road component from asaba approaching and stretching to both enugu onitsha and owerri onitsha expressway.

You can keep your advice to yourself or betterstill direct it to Ilugunboy. This is a social networking site where people pay less attention to English skills. If we are to meet in an essay-writing competition, then we 'd know who is who. Mind you, i never said i knew it all, rather your Ilugunboy did.

asha 80: do you realize that the whole stretch of the bridge will connect to both the enugu onitsha and onitsha owerri expressways?

The bridge is 1.8 kilometres. Please read the article if you haven't..

Why get mad because you threw the same stone that boomeranged to hit your own head?

Just take the correction and quit crying like a damn baby..

Some people get paid to write those things you call crap o.

Have you heard of Pay Per Post (PPP)?

Or Pay Per Page (PPP)?

Oops, PPP again? I'm not talking about Julius Berger's PPP o except theirs is interpreted as 'Pay Per ' on the Second Niger Bridge.

Enjoy yourself Jman06 and unleash your potentials.

People like insincere ghanian.

So if we measure the 8 lane TMB from Apapa Express through Gbagada to Ikoyi and then measure it again from old toll gate on Lagos - Ibadan Expressway (abi we should start from Ibadan toll gate sef?) how many kms we go get? Na dis kin 'I clever my neighbour' sense dey always cause trouble for this country. Which bridge no get approach? If we start measuring bridges inclusive of their approaches where do we stop? The miserable JB/Yoruba/MB owned bridge is just 1.8km which is barely double the 800m length of BRF's Ikoyi bridge and just a fraction of TMB's 11kms over water and that is an end to the story. If you like you can try entering it for a Guinness record as the longest bridge in the SE if that floats your boat. Shuo!

Me ke, the guy sef no won free himself...

I think it is a good development, so far the bridge will be maintained adequately.

I will even subscribe to the "privatisation" of other major roads in the country, because the private firms can be held directly responsible for their maintenance which should be easy since revenue will be generated from tolling.

Major problem is to get reputable firms.
Then again most regions aside Lagos and the south east and perhaps South south are too poor to pay the tolls.

Actually all regions apart from the SE are 'too poor' to pay tolls so let us limit the tolling to the SE biko. Also other regions are happy to pay taxes not being 'republicans' so they deserve some government financed and maintained infrastructure for their money.

Don't you just hate it when fools claim what they are not and even say what they know nothing about...... to say JB is owned by yorubas will be the biggest joke of 2013/2014 .... let it be known that the only Nigerian with the highest share of 15 percent in JB Nig is Ernest Obiejesi Chairman Nestoil PLC..... smh! @ those that would go through any length to lie just to score cheap points
