This is disgraceful to Lagos

Lagos of all State can't build a quality drainage system but they will be happy to embezzle Billions of naira annually in the name of building mega state or city.


The total 2018 Budgets pass by Abia,Imo,Anambra,Ebonyi Governments was #690Billion but for lagos was #1.046Tri 11.4% lower than Nigeria Budget.

But still no proper allocation for drainage system in lagos.

this is very shameful to lagos Government and it citizens
I guess it is LASG that dumped refuse inside the drainage and blocked them. are you blind? can't you see refuse in the drainage?

You dont get it, A drainage system is supposed to be Underground

What you see here on the pictures are open gutters that should never had been build in Lagos.

Open gutters cannot be used as a drainage system even if people dont throw rubbish into them

The city need a drainage system, not open gutters

The money alocated for the building of an underground drainage system was embezzled , and instead they gave Lagosians open gutters

Open gutters should Not exist at all in a big city like Lagos.

I dont know why State governments cant put slabs on the drainage. It wont only Make it beautiful but also prevent refuse dumping. It is common sense. Anyway common Sense isnt common.

What a revelation. We all are aware of this but the Government is just doing below "enough" to help Lagosians.

I wish I could give you 1,000 likes for this post. cheesy This was exactly what I was trying to explain in another thread, and one numbskull almost started calling me names. Lagos needs a complex network of aqueducts, canalised channels and storm drains, to channel away flood water from the streets and neighbourhoods, into the lagoon, rivers and ocean, not these 2x4 gutters, that are so ineffective. undecided
