Warning to all Festac folks...

Govt should do something about it......

Coming too late

Our emergency response time is always a concern coupled with lack of requisite equipment. We are rather reactive instead of being proactive!!!

This is too late. Since last year December?

Seven months past!

I wonder how Nigeria is still existing. Nigerians are very strong people.

The last time I stayed 3 weeks in Nigeria on a vacation, I almost had a mental problem.

Fix that bridge! Why do govt like suffering people like this?

see suffering and smiling.

No be this same bridge dey done dey repair for months now. Smh!

Atimes the way our supposed leaders or political elite behaves gives me course for concern!
Seems like the moment u bag a political post devil takes a centre stage in your heart if not
What on earth is the local govt chairman doing for the past 7months since the fire outbreak on that
Bridge? The worse he could do was put his bill board there with the "pay your tax" slogan!!!
Quite pathetic! That repair shdnt cost the taxpayer more than 3weeks of work!
Remove the sections with a crane and replace with a yard precast unit and tar the godam thing and
Save us money on fuel and man hour lost on that bridge daily!
But what do we get LASTMA forming directing traffic but looking out for shuttle with doors open to fleas
Police forming directing traffic but looking for yahoo boy on bikes.......its really a shithole country indeed!

The more you look. The less you se

Too late but better than no repairs.

Only people living in Festac will really understand.
