        Ordinarily u were to watch this and smile feel excited and appreciate the good work, but as a Nigerian u would want to cry, because contract fraud is already a trauma for us. Nigerian is where we pay the highest for road project in the world yet has d least quality.😿😿😿

        Accountability and patriotism is key in Chinese Society. Little wonders why things work in China but Never in #Nigeria ? In Nigeria,this bridge will never ever be completed yet they will inflate and pay out 20 or more times this cost to a ghost contractor.#Shame
