While ppl are devoid of their right cus he nid 2 Feed Tinubu. May be u 4got its ur right. U better reason.

Walelavender:
I dont have to join issues with you because I'm not a bootlicker or APC apologist like you. Open your eyes clearly to see the pictures of the pedestrian make~shift bridge with part already submerged. You think am here for a propaganda? You must be on a very long thing. Why be @ the mercy of these political rascals (APC & PDP). Do they pay you people? #team good governance#

Highvotage: @op, It was the temporal bridge that was made for free movement of the people that collapse why the new bridge itsef is still under construction.
It occurred almost 2 week now but people were gathering there to watct rise in water lever in compsrative to were the makeshift bridge used to be.
To be sincere, Oyo government should have hasten the job faster than this to avoid this embberashment or public propaganda from some people.
Lets just continue to pray to God for leaders that will have the love of masses at heart, irrespective of party, religion, ethic or otherwise.

Look, l think you have made your point, dpnt argue with "political otimkpus". We know a lot of them on Nairaland, paid and those who just do it out of sheer ignorance.

The saying that "The people deserve the kind of government they get" is very apt, when it comes to the case of most Nigerians.

I was watching a BBC TV program today about how some residence of Redmond street, in a council area of U.K were negotiating with their council officials about how much the council will "buy-over" their houses from them because those houses, though not council houses, were built on lad purchased by the council and had dangerous level of Methane gas. These means the houses could explode and catch fire at a certain high level of methane (highly combustible gas which seeped into the houses from underground as a result of poor construction procedure)

What really caught my attention was that the Council officials were "negotiating and pleading" with the owners to seel the house to them, so they can demolish it for safety reasons.
Everyone eventually agreed to sell to the council after agreeing a reasonable price but one man still refused to sell his own property ....and he was left alone since that was his choice, but the Council still opted to implement "an Engineering solution" to assist him live safeky albiet a bit uncomfortably!

I asked myself: assuming if this was in Nigeria or Lagos, what would have happened?
from experience, the Governor or LGA Chairman would just by "FIAT Authority", ask those people to move out within seven days, send heavily armed Mopol and Soldiers to beat the daylights out of anyone who decides to "dare question him", destroy all their properties and eventually arrogate the place to himself and his party thugs/cronies.
It happened in Moroko, i happened in Whitesand, it happened under Mallam El Rufai in Abuja, it happened around so many government reclaimed areas.

....and it "hit me" in the face that this is the difference between being "a ruler" and being a "public servant"; being an Oppressor and a Leader.
More importantly, between being a citizen who knows and demands for his right to be respected by those in authority!

Lastpage!

BTW: It irks me so much when and why every important discussion is turned to an E-fight between APC and PDP?
Why cant we discuss issues without colouring it or taking sides, based on political affiliations?
Are we this stewpid or what?

A failed bridge is a failed bridge, temporary or not, ...whether built by Jonathan or Ajumobi, bottom line is that it has failed th epeople who are supposed to be the beneficiary. 'SIMPLES'!

Temidayo9: i hope OP have eyez to differentiate Ibadan during PDP Govt and Now Ibadan under APC.. And by the way whatz funny in bridge colaps? How many people like you blame GEJ/PDP over , NMA strike that has claim many lives , ASUP,Colleges of education strike?.

abacus: .

Oga there is no pedestrian bridge in those pictures. Under construction bridge and make-shift bridge I can see.

A bridge is under construction, don't use mouth collapse it. See bold above, in the eyes of many people, that's what you are here for.

Walelavender:
Did you read where I made a comparison with any political party or the past governments that have been privileged to govern Oyo state? Why? coz I don't give a damn about the political class. Besides why don't you quote fully, my comment on GEJ rather than select the part that excites your ego? You just don't want to accept that governance should be all inclusive. I am not that gullible to close my eyes to the wrong in my society. Ask the families of those who lost their loved ones. Common, structures either temporary or permanent should be safe. Referring to the bridge as just a make-shift bridge is laughable as if it was designed for goats and rams. Once bitten twice shy. Justice will prevail

DenBosch:
Foool he promised dem bridge and he is constructing d bridge despite d fact dat he lost heavily in dàt local govt in d last elections(Ido local govt)


N.b
despite d heavy population of apete where he lost he waz able to win Oyo state, wu told u he kant win again without dem

aresa:

Again, the fact that you registered 15 days ago and every one of the 15 posts you've accumulated since your registration date are all rants and anger against Ajimobi says a lot about your one and only mission on NL.

You are not to be taken seriously..

makeitplain:

Oh My Goodness Aresaaaaa!!! Ur point is pointless can't u see? U are exposing my mission on NL as if 1) I am denying it 2) Everybody else on NL do not have a mission or the other. Do u not have a mission here?

Do u do anything aimlessly without a mission? Are u on NL without any mission? Are u just here without reason? For u to have listed every single bridges that Ajimobi have constructed one after the other, do u not have a mission? ur mission is to defend any evil of Ajimobi that is about to be exposed here. If not, why not just read and move on? For u to try to counter every anti-Ajimobi is that not a mission. So if I do not like ur Alpha&Omega governor that allows ppl to die without remorse it shouldn't bother u.

aresa: [s][/s]
Like I said, you are not to be taken seriously..

Like I said, you are not to be taken seriously..

makeitplain:

U just did what u should ve done in the 1st place, ignore my comment and move on. Just like I never responded to ur comment until u kind of wanted to talk to me. Anyway good luck bro!

Walelavender:
Oga Aresa,why is the truth becoming a bitter pill for you to swallow? You need to do more to earn your wages for this week.

Gbawe: @OP. It is easy to question your intentions and motivation if, as a construction "professional", you represent a temporary pedestrian bridge as "Apete Bridge" in your thread title. You think you are the only construction/built environ "professional" here? The Pedestrian bridge is temporary, as a means to aid pedestrian traffic while the main bridge is under construction, and restrictions was placed on its usage.

If truly a well-trained construction "professional" then your expert knowledge should engage your "professional" inquisitiveness to make you question why the bridge has collapsed, if indeed this is the case, rather than begin making assumption about quality of construction, government "insensitivity" et al. You are just 'reaching' doing that because a genuine construction professional would, as a matter of training, be unlikely to do that. Why not ponder why the pedestrain bridge collapsed, if such happened, so we can all be wiser ?

This is the season of witch-hunting the good guys so that a failed Presidency can sail through and gain another four years in 2015 but let us at least act intelligently via showing we know what obtained under the PDP in the SW before now. What PDP administrators did not do in 8 or more years is now being done in a few years across most States of the SW yet we are now to accept the revisionist "they are all the same" propaganda that is seeking to make a sentimental polity forget how bad the PDP really were in the SW which is now the 'beautiful bride' for 2015? Did we see anything near the scale of infrastructural construction going on today in the SW during the locust years of the PDP? How come the failed PDP never attempted much that is effective yet they are now crying against Ajimobi piously? Ditto for Ogun, Osun et al.

Good luck to you guys and your revisionist blanket condemnation which is really mischief against the APC in my opinion given the advances the APC governors have made in a few years after stagnation of the PDP years. You say you are not partisan but I hope 4 more years for GEJ is worth all this senseless witch-hunt against SW leaders who are performing far better than the PDP administrator they replaced. Sensible posters should ask themselves why this sustained campaign of calumny is now focused on the leaders of the politically pivotal SW alone these days. Dickson, Uduaghan, Elechi, Orji et al have all stopped being abject and misruling mediocrities and it is now only APC SW Governors the entire Nigeria should microscopically focus on? As if we do not know that it has been predicted that turning the people against their leaders, with propaganda and sectional/religious divisiveness, is the PDP's plan to "capture" the SW even as we know they have nothing at all to offer. Formumers should ask why the SW has now turned into Nigeria these days with the so-called 'misrule' of the States in the region being what every Nairalander is focused on lately. Are Nairalanders now all Yorubas from the SW States alone given the discussion trend currently? I dey laff at those , especially myopic SW folks, who cannot see what is going on. "Boy with no shoes" propaganda won't work now, since we know the 'boy' has moved on to 10 airplane and billion naira food plus billions of dollars scamming and corruption while Nigerians starve and die, so it is to initiate a scaremongering campaign, plus impeachment brouhaha, to demonize the opposition leaders who have delivered far better than the PDP ever did in the SW or stand in the way of "GEJ 2015" agenda in the North. Nigeria is a joke and Nigerians themselves are the biggest jesters.

Walelavender:
Please you have to try more. I can't just fathom why you won't understand the definition of a bridge. The adjective used to qualify the one I posted earlier was 'pedestrian'. The one under construction is a Reinforced concrete bridge. The first two pictures show the submerged make-shift bridge, while the latter is the RC bridge under construction . Do I need to say this again. Please visit the last thread on this topic and get yourself more informed and stop throwing insult all around.

NgeneUkwenu: No sight of collapsed bridge! Saw only a massive 4 -Lane bridge under construction!

The makeshift bridge must have been erected to ameliorate and aid movement of people pending the completion of the main bridge!

The Moderators here should be fair to all political parties. (stop inciting people against a performing governor)

Kudos to Ajimobi, What PDP could not do in 12 years they held sway, is being done within 2 years of a progressive government.

Ikology: Gibberish as usual, AD,ACN has been on the helm of affairs in your region, stop your fixation on PDP

abacus:

You posted pictures showing submerged 'make-shift' bridge, the other one under construction.

Among the two, which one is Apete bridge?

Agreed the project is taking too long. But you need to make us take you serious next time on the news, what we expected in the news is not what we read..

Cheers!
