Could This Be For Real? by jamesjami: 7:54am On Aug 24, 2012
A friend sent this to me on Monday;

PLEASE READ AND BC UNTIL IT gets to Fashola, Jonathan and top Government officials!

THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE
The recent maintenance/repair work going-on on Third Mainland Bridge was ordered by the Federal Government as a result of a report produced by a company experienced in underwater surveys. The content of the report was to the effect that the underwater metal casing housing the concrete on and the concrete pile on which the bridge stands have rotted away totally. This accounts for the vibration experienced between Adeniji Adele and Adekunle FAjuyi portions of the bridge.
The implication of all of this is that Third Mainland Bridge, between Adeniji Adele and Adekunle FAjuyi, is on the verge of collapsing and requires comprehensive work to be carried out on the foundation. Although several billions have been allocated for the current repairs, only the expansion joints are being repaired. Obviously, corruption has taken its toll on the conscience of our leaders. They are willing for human lives to be lost in exchange for a few extra bucks.
Third Mainland Bridge is a time bomb; the plan is to re-open the bridge for use by November 26 for full usage. But that bridge cannot serve human beings in this condition. We are about to embark on a massive loss of lives. We have heard about plane crashes; what we are setting ourselves up for is far worse than Plane crashes. Imagine the bridge collapsing on a Monday morning when 3 million people are on their way to work in the commercial nerve center of West Africa. The disaster is best imagined.
This is a call for world support. This is a cry against mass murder in exchange for personal prosperity. Nigerians want comprehensive work done on the foundation of Third Mainland Bridge and a proper overhaul of all our bridges in Nigeria.
Nigeria can only live long when there are surviving human beings in the territory. Babatunde David
