Why do Nigerians feel the need to put annoying stripes all over the road -- often even sidewalks are covered in these stupid stripes. You don't see this monkey-like behavior in any developed country. Why do Nigerians always overdo things to the point of ridiculousness?

We need to copy superior societies instead of continuing on our backwards degenerate path. Our society is barely functional. And this stripe nonsense isn't unique to Nigeria, it is done in every poor black African country.

Wasted effort. Why not employ those people to clean up sidewalks and perform maintenance instead of senseless road painting?

You think it's senseless?? I personally think it's absolutely important on our roads. Most of the roads are not lit and I have experienced drivers unable to stay in their lane due to lack of the marking/demarcation (especially at night) and on several occasions, drifted into other lanes....

Unarguably, there is a very good reason for it!!

Since they can't afford Road reflector that will guide the motorist at night, they make do with what they can afford which was the paint...

I live in the United States. I know what a modern society and a modern road is supposed to look like, and Nigeria is not it.

Real road reflectors are probably cheaper than this painting nonsense.

Maybe the paint lasts longer, or it's cheaper to maintain.
