A photo of a bridge in Guangdong, China is circulating on social media with a false caption that it shows a new bridge in Nigeria called Anioma.
One post sharing the image here wrote: “The Anioma bridge in Delta State opened June 2023.
Cost: $700m, raised from securitization of 10% gas pipeline revenues to a 75 year bond.”The photo, however, shows the Nansha bridge in China’s Guangdong Province.
Articles about the bridge, opened in 2019 and previously called The Second Humen Bridge, can be seen here, here and here .
The photo shows the Nansha Bridge in Guangdong, China, not a bridge in Nigeria.
