Paris is set to remove padlocks fastened to the Pont des Arts Bridge by couples as a 'love lock' - An act symbolically carried out by lovers, throwing the key into the River Seine beneath the bridge afterwards, to forever seal their love.
Officials say all locks will all be removed from Monday as they pose a safety risk especially as part of the bridge collapsed under the weight last year.
The padlocks, close to a million in number and weighing 45 tonnes, are expected to be cut off.
Remember that Nigerian OAP, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu just last week padlocked his love for his fiancee, Cynthia Obianodo, at the bridge?.Choi!

DeleteDon't b one sided dear...
DeleteSome padlocks are actually JUJU CAGE,and in dt case,na pure freedom b dt naa...
Only people who believe deeply in the locked padlock holding their love and keeping their love alive will be the ones to experience relationship /marriage breakage.
DeleteAnyway i see it more as a fun thing though. Ebuka's own was widely publicized and now some people will make fun of him, his fiancee and their padlock.

ReplyDeletechoi ...but Ebuka just locked his padlock....does it mean that???? Why did they choose now that my naija Bro went there, to cut them off eh? They call it bad luck....Hehe. ..just messing with you!!!
ReplyDeleteI think cos his was widely publicized. Now they don't want people coming from different countries to add more padlocks and like i read above, the bridge is about tilting to one side which isn't a good thing.

ReplyDeleteEbuka still has one day to quickly fly to France and cut of his own love padlock oh, becos in d message I received from ekeleke, he left Cynthia, and fell in love with a french mermaid called mademoiselle. Ebuka go now and remove ur padlock, ekeleke d one legged priestess had spoken. * using back style to strut out of consultation room*. Hehehehehe.
ReplyDeleteSafety measures first.
ReplyDeleteLove gbakwaoku abegi they should clear all that trash from the bridge and guarantee people's safety.
ReplyDeleteI am almost certain that more than half of the people who have locks there are no longer together.
Exactly.
DeleteNa Ebuka jinx that place when he went there alone. Yeye boy.
