Dankeschön, answer the question if you live in Lagos!! This ain't about age or legal consent...u are D one been ignorant here... Most markets in Lagos are already closed before dawn not necessarily as a result of beating crime but as a result of beating traffic..So why can't D Lagos govt focus firstly on creating more roads and bridges??

Now that I've breaked fown my reason into your numskull are u satisfied u slowpoke?

Age restriction should be put on nairaland. How can a human being reason this way? Imagine the kind of silly question he is asking. Must u comment?

Actually, your reason still doesn't add up. Having streetlights on our roads is also a form of security. More crimes are committed under the cloak of darkness. With streetlights some of these petty criminals who snatch bags and attack motorists would not be so daring. Also it makes driving more easier as your are able to see well ahead of you. If you have driven on that stretch of road at night when it is pitch dark you will understand. Even full lights sometimes does not help. First time I saw those street lights on, I said a prayer for those who thought to light it up after all these years. Add well lit streets to proper police presence and crime is definitely going to drop.

How does this improve the economy? A very secure city, state or country usually tends to experience economic growth as everyone likes to live in a safe environment and business activities too can thrive because people feel safe. And those market people who are rushing home are not likely to get robbed of their days earnings while stuck in traffic on a dark road. One of Canada's major selling points to immigrants is security.

The only thing I don't support is the fanfare of commissioning.

I love the idea but I hate the quality of the bulb installed

Commissioned street lights for that bad road Anyway, it will assist the road users to avert bad spots provided the lights will be Maintained and there will be electricity to power.

You're right and I'm right but d other user calling me names cos I made my input is part of the reason why Nigeria is not developing and won't ever develop until we stop this I too know attitude.


I'm not an economist or a financial analyst but lemme ask u a simple question...youve got 100,000 naira and your house rent is due likewise your house rent,ur kid's school fees,insurance (in this case let's assume it's available in Nigeria) which of these problems will ypu solve first and why?

Not that I can't reply him but I had to swerve when I saw his level of reasoning. So poor!

I have a fair idea of where you are going with your question, so I will cut to the chase. When people make comments of government prioritizing one thing over another we forget that each ministry of the government has a budget and allocations made to them. Doing one thing need not affect the progress of others. That the LASG is erecting streetlights doesn't mean they are not building roads as you implied. In fact, what I have noticed is that they have included streetlighting as part of road construction projects, so they build roads and install street lights on them immediately. If you go to places like the Ejigbo-Idimu road, or Ipaja-Ayobo road, those roads have been fixed recently with streetlights installed. That doesn't affect the budget for the ministry of health, or IPP projects, or other projects the state wants to embark upon as long as provisions have been made for them in the budget.
