Obiano was obviously drunk when he gave out the contract for this pedestrian bridge to one of his drunk colleague. imagine the cracks on those structure.. concrete structure for that matter.
Abeg say what u know,that bridge was awarded by Mr Peter Obi to IDC construction company Nd they re not quacks.

How would you see it when your mind is already beclouded and prejudiced. I asked you a simple question, what could have caused the overhead bridge to forcefully shift from its alignment. Answer me...


the same thing that causes unfinished buildings to collapse. Ie Shoddy job.

Re: This Pedestrian Bridge In Onitsha Has Become A Death Trap by SpaceTour: 8:49am On Jul 31, 2017
You are not making any point. The truck failed break and hit the pillar. If the entire structure was not strong it would have collapsed completely. Tell us what could have caused the overhead to shift from it's position. Looking at the bridge you could notice a mis-alignment. From the picture the pillars are in order. What happened was that the impact moved the overhead bridge because there are expansion gaps which is very common in bridge development. It helps bridges to withstand shocks in the case of something like this happens.

adanny01:


A failing foundation can cause that.

Secondly, it doesnot look like a truck hit. From my analysis, if we were driving on the right, then a hit can be said to be a likely cause. The geometry of the shift doesnot corresponding to the direction a truck driving on the left drivers side orientation would cause. What am talking about is the lane. Its either the right side of the bridge shifted backwards or the left side shift farwards. This is against the corresponding traffic on both lanes so i can rule a truck hit out of the likely causes. Unless the truck hit by going wrong lane.

Yes Obiano's ass has been drilled, fake and substandard and useless projects everywhere. Look at Sam Mbakwe, the projects he carried out in Imo state since close to 40 years now are still there and are working, why? because he Identified the NEEDS of the people not his personal wants, and he made sure that these things were built with quality and integrity, not personal pet projects like this useless bridge. Why no invest in Electricity so that the WHOLE Anambra can have constant electric power supply, this will help move a lot of SME move to Anambra and create lots Of jobs for people. In the US SME create 75% of the jobs. Yeah, that is true.
Re: This Pedestrian Bridge In Onitsha Has Become A Death Trap by SpaceTour: 9:03am On Jul 31, 2017
You are bastard, go and look for your father somewhere in Imo state. Obiano's projects are worldclass. Go and face your useless and hopeless governor in Imo state that has littered his useless state with useless substandard projects.

Nice one OP.

The so called raod safety will not see this one and push for its repair to prevent accident. But if na flashy car on highway, they will be stopping such and asking u to put on all your lights, just looking for a little fault. Meanwhile, those dead taxi cars (motors) in Port harcourt without any head, brake, and reverse lamps will drive pass them but they wont stop them.

When Road Safety has shifted from her original aim of preventing accidents to REVENUE GENERATION BODY.

Chai celebrating mediocrity. When I left Imo state back in 2006, Owerri had pipe borne water, where in Anambra can we find such? I am from Ihiala BTW. My Mom is from Osumenyi. I am not at all impressed by the type of governors we have had in Anambra. The only person that really trued in Mbadinuju but was very maltreated by obasanmma abi njo, so he was prevented from doing anything, it lead to crysis up on crysis, even to the great strike of 2001 or 2002, of teachers, when many Anambra kids that could afford it left for other states to continue their education. We got Adaobi and he brought this Abomination that calls himself Obiano, if Obiano and Adaobi could do even half of what Mbakwe did in Imo state back in the 80s Anambra will be like Georgia, USA Honestly. I don't celebrate mediocrity no matter who is behind it.
Re: This Pedestrian Bridge In Onitsha Has Become A Death Trap by SpaceTour: 9:22am On Jul 31, 2017
Imagine this hopeless Imo state clown. Where and how can you compare the two states? cheesy

Has your useless governor paid ordinary salary? Has he done any project worthy of emulation like in the case of Anambra? What is the situation of education in Imo state? Zero

What is the situation of infrastructure? Zero

Workers in Imo state are owed over 10months salary arrears.

Imo state is rated alongside Taraba and Zamfara state. We are not mates OK

Imo state is cursed right from Mbakwe to the present governor. There is no development in your cursed state. This is a statement of fact.

Shut up clown. This project was done by the previous administration. However it is not a substandard project, its pillar was hit by trailer just last week that made it to shift from the alignment. It will be realigned as the substructures and pillar are still intact.

I don't need to read your nonsense gibberish. What I am saying is that your Imo state is cursed with bad leaders and bad state. There is nothing to point at in the state. Stop mentioning that state anywhere because it is a cursed state. Nothing is working in your cursed state so stop mentioning it in the public. You are not from Ihiala, please focus on your cursed state and leave us alone. It is not by force.

Honestly I wonder why people always say what they are not sure of. That bridge Nd that road u see was not constructed by Obiano's administration, Obi awarded it to IDC construction which is a top notch firm in civil engineering. That is a federal road which Obi did to help Ananambra citizens. Anybody that said its Obiano that did is not saying the truth.Be sure of something before commenting. Seems u don't like Obianno? But that should not make u lie against him.
