Topic: Another collapse in Enugu state. (Read 170 times)

I done come with another update for we country and this update legit well well as e stance so, before I start to talk, I go like ask this question, so why e be say these politicians them and the contractors way them dey hire to dey do jobs for the states no dey do the jobs them with their full mind?
For Lagos State along Korodu road, e get one flyover way won fall, and my problem be say people way they pass through that flyover them dey at very big risk because any moment that flyover go fit fall and if e fall, you self you supposed to know the result.
This nah the clear picture of the flyover way I dey talk about.

As e be so, people life dey at very big risk, so watin you as a good citizen of this we country get to suggest for the government to do now?

The truth of the matter be say we no fit tell or talk waiting they make those bridge fall because we no dey when they
 build am, we no get evidence and if you no get evidence you go explain tire. Abeg make we no dey think say na substandard materials they use, because sometimes failure fit happen underground because of big big motor wey dey pass there 24/7 and again the bridge don stay years. I just dey beg Government make them dey try to renovate anything wey don old for this country and again I Thank God say we no hear say person die

Like as I talk before I no go wan go dig things wey concern me or not related to things here wet my eyes dey because if you carry government matter put for head e go worry you like mad and like this nothing come out from them so I go better we just face here than to dey give ourselves high blood pressure based on say we get government and them no do anything or even wanting to take her citizens serious. This chop I chop or share the money don really set us backwards for long now I go like us to remain focused than wasting our resources.

Make we reason this matter well together o. E don get any time una hear say bridge fall for north? or una don hear any time wey the north complain for poor state of road condition for their place?. This thing con make me dey see the reasons why e be say things dey go well for north there compared to our south here. Dem award road contract for north there dem dey do am well to international standard. Their roads na clean one wey when you see am you go dey wonder weda our people here dey see the roads dem wey these people dey do for their place at all and funny enough the money wey dem dey use do these roads for north dem no reach 60 to 70% of the amount dem dey take do km roads for south here.

Wetin I just see for this road matter for south be say as e be now road construction dey involve big money, these our top men them dey use am settle their boys and loyalist make dem use hold their side and as e be now say na dem get government them go just do the work any how carry money move and inmost cases, dem dey do budget padding nobody go talk anything based on say na chop i chop things when your turn reach you too chop carry go nobody go make pim.

Smiles..
But the bridge for no collapse na even though e need maintenance why e go collapsed like that, me no get anything to shuck mouth on because anyhow we talk am na so e go still dey or remain because no be wetin me and you dey reason wey those government officials dey think their own na embezzlement to carry our money do wetin dey their eyes.
Any way I go say make we limit this talk before e go stir up the other people wey from that state to dey think say we dey spoil their names because anything politics dey very sensitive and it's easily leads to personal beef and misunderstanding if not properly handled.

Not only the Rivers government but the whole 9ja Delta as a whole, the 9ja Delta government is trying. Interns of construction, if the whole state government could do the same in their state, at least some of these things wouldn't happen. Things like no good roads and the only ones people are managing are being spoiled because the ministry of works affairs are minimizing the materials for the work so that they can heft some money. The ABA road is worse than the road to hell fire if I am not mistaking, and this ABA is Lagos part 1 in terms of business, but since the Igbos' government don't value their state, they won't work the roads.

When you come to 9ja Delta, there are many good things to talk about their states. The past governor of Rivers State. He did very well, making roads and opening streets, the same as the present governor of Bayelsa is doing.

For this bridge collapse matter, I will say en time done due and the bridge needs maintenance.

Do not even think of that Eleme Uyo road as the road is in a camatose state.  That road is nothing to write home about or is it the trailer park road too. Ha that road is very frightening  to start with and the roads both lane are death trap. You can imagine driving in between two tankers or trailers and both are on potholes trying to maneuver their ways and you are at their  middle driving just imagine the scenario and how frightened you will be. What annoys me about the road is that the revenue generated from that quarters and the presence of multinationals, refinery, coupled with fact that the it is an oil producing local government yet see the nature of their road.

It still baffles me that our country would still be battling with road matters of construction, durability, poor materials, contractors negligence and lots more at this stage of advancement. This nation ought to have gone beyond that level and be facing world standard production etc. After so many years of drilling oil and trading it yet these roads which are used to ply some of the federal and state equipment through land are still this way begging for attention with lots of leaders come and gone, the road is still the way it is.

I won't even say that's not a good idea but I will tell you that our country like bribery if federal government or state government sets some groups of people to monitor any road they are constructing you would see that when those sets of people arrive they will bribe them, meaning they will take their percentage from the contractor putting more lives and properties at a higher riske. I know our people how they behave most at time in terms of contracts and the rest it's very difficult to predict them oya take a look at some federal roadsa road that connects Abia to Rivers State what did you see for those who constantly pass through that road. Or Eleme to Uyo and what happened if they haven't fixed it, did you see a solid work there?
Know one thing certain in our country that a compromise must be there no matter how you try implore some predictive and preventive measures towards those contractors.

At least two people don talk am now say nah materia way dem they carry work they always cause am, sometimes kwanu no be to do work finish for some where be the thing, person way do work I mean engineer way do work for years back use Watin they happen the and the kind load way they suppose pass their before carry do him calculations, but when load and trucks way they pass the load increase eh mean say eh go affect the bridge nah bcuz load don they pass as eh suppose be now.

Another thing way also fit still cause why diz bridge spoil nah the part way when dem build am finish dem still suppose to they visits those place dem even if no be every year, at least ones in a while make dem run small small maintenance, eh be like main road way get pot hole if you no rush patch am that time u they call am nothing before you know, the thing go from their they spoil, if bridge them no they undergo maintenance and yet dem they use them regularly, eh go likely break down one day, diz nah Watin person build and eh they expire, I just hope say eh no really affect anybody as eh happen make people life no just enter am.

This wan wey you talk like this na confirm truth. The issue of using inferior materials and substandard work is the major problem we are facing in this country. Every contractor want to make gains from their contract awards without minding the lives of people they are putting at risk just for their own selfish interest. I would cite an instance where a contractor was given a contract to work on a street road. Could you believe what the contractor did,  they just used sand and gravel after some days they just sprayed coal on the road and that was all. You need to see how they did the gutter as well. No rod no nothing just  poured cement. I could not believe what I saw. I am of the opinion that government should authorize federal road safety to start monitoring road projects unset from the pegging for construction to the last phase to seethe kind of work the contractors wuld deliver but i pray they safety officers do not compromise.

Why all of una dey talk like this about the matter abi una no know say the Enugu wey owna talk about sef na state wey get massive erosional damage and it's soil is prone to such happening and plus the fact say the bridge itself don tay because I believe say even block sef wey Dem use build house dey reduce overtime so Bridget is scared.

The wey I dey see that bridge wetin I see sey wey go make that kind of thing happen to that enugu side is because those engineers wey dey use that kind of thing na wetin dey cause the problem so for me  I' dey believe say wetin fit make that thing collapse of bridge na because of the bridge Don dey old and dey use a substandard material do the work and the road dey use better chippings to do the road properly

See make I tell you nothing dey fall those bridges them na just say them dey use infirior material dey do the work them if not nothing for happened, you know say this country wey we dey like this people dey find wetin go benefits them instead them go bring better money work federal road them go share am finish, use am go do their personal business after everything them go used small balance wey remain carry come stage manage the project wey them get so that e go count say them don delivered those projects them give them. To me this attitude dey very bad to our politicians and contractors them, the worst thing be say this same contractors go even do more bad thing go split the money them carry award for the contract.

See if we bring our minds everything go work for this country, and besides we no go for carry those igbo people compared rivers people in terms of bringing mind and money to work road, if e dey possible wetin make Okezie Ikpazu no do some road wey him dey site for Aba yet about was known as Nigeria China. There's nothing you will find in Aba you couldn't get that place is a business center and a business mind where every business man and woman do come for business, that place for dey bobble like ph but as them too like money then no gree bring finished their state.. same thing is applicable to other igbo land as I know for example this collapse bridge na typical example.

I hear the tori too say the bridge for Enugu collapse and till now nobody don hear anything like casualty but the truth be say for we country here our government no dey take road maintenance serious. Old roads and overhead bridge wey don last for at least 20 years suppose dey on steady maintenance because their life span and durability don drop. This maintenance culture and habits wey we dey lack for we country here naim dey result to all these hazards.

Na to award contract for street road wey no get meaning just to embezzle funds forgetting the one wey dey need maintenance so as to avert any future occurrences. All wetin dem know Na to award road contract to dey do inferior roads then embezzle the rest. After some months roads don begin dagbaru.

according to news, say yesterday afternoon Enugu bridge collapse.

Yesterday afternoon maybe around pass 1 O.clock e get one bridge way they for Enugu state and this bridge lead to Port Harcourt express way which means nah even federal road, this bridge collapse and I dey sure say motors and human beings them been dey for this bridge before e collapse but the thing be say I no hear say any body kpeme as the bridge fall.
This bridge way fall yesterday no be the first bridge way done fall for this same state way them dey call Enugu, e get one particular bridge way been fall before and them say that bridge done last for over 50 years and nah 2012 na that particular Bridge fall, although say the 50 years own done last for long, but nah watin they fall those bridges?
This bridge way fall so go make people way won travel go outside the state stay around because no way again, although say other access roads fit they but e get people way e go still affect well well.
But if we reason am other way round, Enugu state no be state way flood they enter, I believe say them nah on top hills them they and them no they encounter anything flood but why their bridges they fall anyhow? Nai be say if them they experience flood like the way other state they experience am, enough things go spoil for the state.
I been hear say those states way dey for hills, them they experience Earthquakes once in a while, abi nah watin dey cause most of these collapse? Watin you get to talk for the matter.
