speedyboi: SMH...anything that's not done in Naija, Leaders are the reason....it has become an anthem.

@OP, I hope you know those in FERMA are civil servants (Nigerians like you) who have refused to do their Job? Right? Or you think the president and FCT minister are the ones who's supposed to go about fixing roads and streetlights?
If we refuse to take responsibilities for everything Nigeria is suffering from, No change is coming. FACT!!!.


that aside, @Op, did you call FERMA's number to inform them about the bad traffic light and they didn't fix it before you are posting on NL? Or you think they have supernatural power to sense bad traffic lights?(I know Naija people believe in witch craft well well grin)? I'm sure your answer will be NO.
Mtcheew, Nigerians won't even play their parts, they were brought up to pass blames

Bros, we blame our leaders because they are heftily paid to do basic routine jobs & they are not delivering. It is their full responsibility to oversee what their surbodinates are doing.
If your houseboys pours trash in front of your house instead of inside the dustin, and the authorities are looking for who to fine, who will they ask for to hold accountable? The occupant or the houseboy? Pls stop defending irresponsible uncaring leaders

And abeg remind me about who is responsible for blocked drainages again? No be Nigerians wey go pour their wastes inside gutter when it rains? Do citizens of developed countries do that? undecided angry
Stop thinking like a daft.When has it become the responsibility of FERMA to maintain traffic lights and roads in a municipal area?Try check out the meaning of FERMA before you start exhibiting your show of stack illiteracy.The function of FERMA if you must know is to maintain federal roads also be informed that there is a department in FCTA called(FCDA) that is charged with the responsibility of road maintenance.Secondly, If the authority in charge of waste disposal make provision for proper waste disposal why will the people in such area throw dirts into drainage system?Try to think properly my friend

I no know book:



You are full of crap! Stop your stupid comparison. No matter how you try, you can never compare sleep with death. For a starter, how many network of roads do we have in Nigeria? Nigeria does not even have roads and the little it has, it cannot maintain. The network of road in the US is very astounding and massive, and they maintain virtually all of it. Besides, they do not have any other option than to maintain, as the government could be sued and found liable for an accident caused by the poor condition of a road. I have lived in the US for quite sometime, and I cannot even remember the number of time my county scraped my street and re-tared it, even though the street was very good. They do come around once in a long while to scrape and re-tare roads even when they are in perfect condition. Have you seen that done in Nigeria?
People like you are the very reason why Nigeria is redundant. You celebrate mediocrity. There is no reason why you should put up your post in justification of the deplorable conditions of our roads. Please for your own sake, stop showing your stupidity by comparing Nigeria that does not even have up to 5,000 km of paved road to a country that has more than 4 million km of paved roads. Enough said!

If you re not an iddiota, you would have seen that I added the links to my post. I actually just re-posted articles from American sites. I didnt write the article myself. But you are too dummb to notice

Stop spending money on Abuja, it's just a city of white elephants. Lagos State is the heart and soul of the country. More federal money should be used to beautify Nigeria's megacity. It was a mistake for the federal government to leave Lagos. Lagos needs that beautification more than ever.

But things are getting better, thank God. When we have Eko Atlantic completed, maybe the federal government would want to move back down again.

My friend the dude spoke the truth.What made you to even bring up the name of US when discussing bad roads and you even went the extra mile by comparing roads in Cali to Nigerian roads by further posting pictures.I have travelled over 14 states beginning from Texas to New York and i never seen any single bad road on my numerous trips.That is not to say there are no bad roads in the US but for the comparison that is not acceptable.So kindly retract that your post

Whether you posted article from a website or not, ultimately, you are responsible for the post. Obviously, you believed so much in the article, hence, your posting it. Stop trolling all over the web looking for article to post on this forum, if you are not man enough to stand by it. Very typical of Nigerians, nobody ever wants to be responsible for his/her actions. It's always, 'it's not me, it's the other person'. COWARD!

Re: Dead Traffic-Lights & Blocked Drainage In Abuja by oloriooko(m): 6:18pm On May 02, 2013
@OP
Do you stay in Abuja or just visiting?
Though I noticed some of the street lights are dead but I also noticed that some of them are coming alive like one along Adewole adetokunbo crescent by Ekwa church junction Wuse 2.

I think the FCT maintenance Unit needs to wake up to its responsibilities and improve its response time to. carrying out maitenances on these lights. It's unfortunate that the present FCT Minister is the most inefficient Minister that has headed the FCT. The Minister is fund-starving many Agencies in the FCT while he's busy amassing money for his governorship ambition for Bauchi state.

You are a typical white man's slave. You are suffering from Identity crisis. You are soooo lost. First, your comments show you didnt even read my post, yet you commented on my post. That is a typical sign that you were poorly educated. Please ask your teacher for a refund! If you want to join a debate, always read the articles. Then you can respond better. Stop acting on impulse. Read carefully. You sound like those dudes who always ask for the summary of the article. Abeg shift!

Mr! I don't know what you are trying to prove here.
Do you want the authorities responsible for maintenance to sit up?
Do you want it to continue like this and come on the media to speak good of them?
Why are you comparing us to others who are failing?
Does it mean that since others are defaulting, we should follow suit?
What's your point?
Mr! Spirit of comparative destiny isn't good for you.

Re: Dead Traffic-Lights & Blocked Drainage In Abuja by majekleo(m): 7:02pm On May 02, 2013
@ OP : Most of the traffic lights you posted are presently working as I type. Example is the first pic @ wuse zone 3, its perfectly working and being powered by solar modules. If you drive round Abj you wolud notice that most of the traffic lights are currently working as a result of the recent repairs and you would also notice that most of them are now powered by sloar means. But the worrisome trend is that of the blocked drainages especially in Zone 3 like I see in one of your pics. I. Could up-load pics if needed to prove that the first traffic light in ur post is working prefectly as of this moment. Please don't mislead people.

I have never seen that type of drainage in Abuja. There are no open drainages in Abuja itself. I am not sure how you know that is zone 3.
