I love this. This is citizen responsibility and participation. It's how it's done in the west. Sometimes not CCTV but citizens participation expose and correct ills.

I totally support this. This is not peculiar to Lagos alone. The unfortunate thing is that they usually commit this act during heavy rainfall so that the current can help to flush them out. I remember seeing a shop owner disposing his waste inside a gutter. When I confronted him, he did as if what I was saying doesn't concern him.

Punishment isn't just enough. There's need for government to address this problem using other means of communication different from the mass media. It seems some people don't understand the far reaching effect of their actions.

The people throwing thrash in gutters are APC members e.g agberos, market women, danfo drivers etc. They support bad government that will tolerate their lawlessness.

Those persons could have been trying to save their waste bin from being taken by flood

Not necessarily that they poured waste into the food.

Before you start punishing them, make sure the lagos state waste disposal management is working.
I have lived in lagos. Weeks, you hardly see them. Bin is overflowing and cholera outbreak may happen.
When you work, people will start doing the right thing.

So since it's not working, you can dump it into the water right..
Why not dump it in your sitting room ?

Since they denied Nigerians effort in developing Lagos,flooding will continue to be their punishment from generation to generation grin
Re: Lagos to Punish Persons Caught Disposing Trash Into Flood Water by Sabadon(m): 4:08pm On Jul 03
undecided
why some Nigerians are so care free and stubborn beats my imagination, how can you not know the simple consequences of your actions. These same people ll complain about the flood and seek government intervention

I once corrected a woman dropping her baby diapers in a drainage about the implications of her actions, she went further to make sure the diapers and other refuse went straight into the drainage, her response was "make e pain you well well" I just nodded my head in dismay
