Is There A Single Road In South East With Sidewalks And Covered Drains? by Catapault: 1:54pm On Nov 10, 2023 |
I haven’t seen even ONE ROAD in the southeast with covered drains and sidewalks. They exist in Abuja, in Lagos, in Uyo, Calabar, Gombe, Kano and Kaduna. I have even seen some in Benin. But southeast? Nothing. Just open gutters everywhere. If you are a pedestrian in the East, nobody cares where you walk. Why? Here are examples from Abuja 3 Likes 1 Share |

osuofia2: I must confess I haven’t been there. But I’ve heard some good things about the place. They don’t even act as if they are in the Southeast, those Ebonyi people. Or is their own version of Igbo different? 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Yes. This road is in the Orlu part of Imo state. We've had sidewalks and road drains for years. They just patched up this part of the sidewalk last week. So yes it's rare but they do exist. 11 Likes 2 Shares

Catapault:What did you hear or know about Ebonyi? Remember that Simon Ekpa your terror is from there. Because the next thing you will say is that Ebonyi people are not among or supporting IPOB 10 Likes 1 Share |

Bendeco2020: If Ekpa is from Ebonyi, it must be something fishy going on, because we all know that Ebonyi is a place where people are cool, calm and collected, unlike the other Igbo states filled with troublemakers and miscreants. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Catapault: You guys with these yeye dick measurements. I can bet my last card that you've not travelled to up to 4 states in the country. To puncture your argument, I'll just ask you to check the pictures of the road from Lekki to Lakowe. There is neither drainage or sidewalk (the tiny place left has been overtaken by motorist) to start with. Now you need to go around Airport junction in Abuja to see open drainage or chanchaga to Bosso in Minna for same. I believe we also have something similar from Batagarawa to Katsina main market. Roads from Tsafe to Gusau in Zamfara and Birnin-Magaji, also in Zamfara, have open gutters. Same thing with the roads in Funtua. These places are where I spend significant number of years. No just passing by. That I can point to few examples does not mean I can generalise. The comparison is to what end? To achieve what actually? 5 Likes |

Hpesoj: You are not getting the point. Of course there is an open gutter culture across Nigeria which was inherited from British colonial mismanagement and substandard construction ethos, but some cities are doing more to move out of that primitive system to roads with sidewalks and covered drains which is the international standard for roads. The southeast is lagging behind in adopting that modern convention. We need to see cities like Onitsha, Awka etc, building roads with sidewalks and covered drains. Those cities are already built up, but are just missing that final addition to make them world class and tourist-friendly. 1 Like |
