Haha grin ! Ladoja exposed Ajimobi of his looting decoy. Ajimobi took it up, and off he went to because calling opposition parties names.
Later, the sub-standard barrier was destroyed; Ajimobi still went ahead to the same media to accuse Ladoja shocked

That is the problem with ACN and their supporters.

Having lived over 20 years of my life in Ibadan and Mokola environs, I still maintain that COMPARED to the pressing needs in the state, the Fly Over bridge is the most useless project any reasonable Government should embark on, looking at the number of ammenities and basic things the state lacks.

When I saw LCC as the project executor, I now understand that this is the only way Ajimobi is desperate to pay back Tinubu for all the money spent to win the election.

All this useless projects for all to see will take the state no where but make them broke and forever indebted to Tinubu's empire.

So what is the purpose of that barrier after celebrating the commisioning of the bridge, I guess they are waiting to commision the opening of the barrier as a separate project. Bunch of mediocres.

What do you expect in a country where PDP is the main party, Fellow mediocres and morons will stand out.

Don't mind him. Lived 20 years around Mokola, he must have been a spirit or the usual biker. If you own or drive a car along that axis, you will know that the bridge is a commendable project by the OYSG. Before now, traffic at Mokola was horrible, but with the bridge, its now a pleasure ride.

This is it !!! A functional and structurally sound bridge was built. It has restrictions as obtains in many, many Nations worldwide. This is not an issue at all.

Yet, typical with Nigerians, the bridge will be made the central issue while everyone ignores the simple concept of illiterate/indisciplined Nigerian drivers not being able to comply with height/weight restriction which is very common throughout the world and causes no major issues in disciplined societies with civilised citizens and where there is a minimum standard of competence you must attain before being allowed on the road.

My brother, don't mind those who are politically compromised beyond common sense. We can all host our political affiliations but should not resort to making senseless utterances to support such while ignoring what matters and is central to issues. Is height/weight restriction , for roads and bridges, limited to Nigeria? Are such restrictions not legitimate tools for surmounting architectural and engineering challenges?

Rather than face the sheer madness of killer drivers, in a nation with people still lynching each other in public, some will play politics with very simple issues. Issues like this should prime our minds to the need for reform and reformers everywhere. Many Nigerian drivers are indisciplined and illiterate killers who do not qualify to be on the road. That is what this issue raises.

Some of you just like to look for any thing(usually imaginary) to assert your pessimism or dislike for what you hate.

Why will you call the bridge useless, if truly you live in mokola environs?

CCECC was the contractor, and what is the link of that coy with Tinubu? they are working all over Nigeria, (abuja, akwa ibom,lag,..)

The barrier was simply to prevent heavy duty vehicles from plying the bridge, there is an alternative route .

The bridge did not also cost up to 3 billion naira, it was 2.3 billion naira.

Simple. The indiscipline and lack of civility of Nigerians come into play at times like this. Every well-exposed person will know it is impossible not to have height/weight restriction because of legitimate structural challenges.

It is not every road/bridge trucks HGVs (heavy goods vehicle) can ply. That is a given in civilised nations. You will not see this happen in Britain for even a single Briton to ask "why did not make the bridge usable for trucks and HGV?". Everyone would simply question why the truck driver defied instructions to use a bridge the vehicle he is driving is prevented from using. At times like this, we should all be looking at our driving standards agency and its efficiency at ensuring the highest level of competent driving dominate Nigerian roads.

But it is so shameful, if someone who truly is enlightened enough to register on nairaland and have lived in IB for over 20 years can make such comment, What differentiates the thought process of a Pepper seller in scout camp and him? embarassed.

It is not bad to criticise, but it is important to cross check your criticism and see if it follows logic/commonsense.

The barrier was meant to prevent heavy duty vehicles from using the flyover since there is an alternative route for them (a common practice all over Nigeria).
Its a pity how we politicize everything.
shut-up ur smelling-mouth there and stop to justify d nonsense ignorantly. Now go to AKWA IBOM STATE and see how heavy-duty trucks are plying ALL the flyovers and bridges without any restriction/barriers.

Going by your logic, you are saying all bridges with barriers against heavy goods vehicle are substandard.

I believe your logic is defective, preventing heavy duty vehicles on the bridge will increase the life span of that bridge.
