fallout87: THERE SHOULD BE NO OPEN GUTTERS IN THE FIRST PLACE. USE YOUR HEAD. THIS IS NOT ABOUT BLAMING HAUSA PEOPLE. NO COUNTRY IN THIS DAY AND AGE BUILDS ROADS WITH OPEN GUTTERS. IT IS A PRIMITIVE, DISGUSTING WAY OF LIVING. |

Siberia01: Covered and no sight of the gutter? You mean Oron Road? IBB Way? Edet Akpan Avenue? Atiku Way? The only place where you have covered walkways is Nwaniba Road. Even Shelter Afrique doesn't have pedestrian tracks! P.S. When I mean covered walkways, I mean completely covered. No sight of what's beneath it. Check the picture I quoted earlier. |

Gerrard59: They are partly responsible. The colonialists built roads with open gutters in Nigeria - something they never do in Europe - and that was the practice inherited by succeeding govts, who - and this is their fault - should have jettisoned it by now. THE STANDARD WORLDWIDE is that when you build a road in an urban area, you MUST have covered drainage and pedestrian sidewalks. On EVERY street. Not just major roads. In Nigeria, we seem to think that pedestrians do not have a right to infrastructure that caters to them. If you don't have a car, you must walk alongside dirt, sand, and open gutters. It's outrageous. Pedestrians are Nigerians too, so any infrastructural development that ignores their needs is misguided and must be changed. |

horsepower101: My brother, do you known that Tokyo's underground drainage system is so advanced and sophisticated that you can actually enter a lift, go down into the system, and it is air conditioned inside? I wouldn't be surprised if they have offices in there. We are just not serious about building real physical infrastructure for the common man. 2 Likes |

NoMoreTrolling: Honestly, I cringe when I hear Nigerians say stuff like, ''why can't they clean the gutters properly?''..... You are NOT supposed to have ''gutters''!!!! This is what a street in a normal country looks like: ![]() Do you see any gutter in this picture? What is so hard about making every street in Lagos or Nigeria look like this? 4 Likes |

Rosskii: Damn! Caucasians are wicked! But wait a minute, how come Rwanda has pedestrian walkways fully covered and Nigeria doesn't? Who is responsible? The white man? ![]() Rosskii: Haba Rosskii! Why the lie na? OK. Let's ASSUME, they did such. Why can the present set of administrators not change such ridiculous setting? Even when they visit other countries. Should the white man be blamed? |

Rosskii: But you have an impeccable record on Nairaland for blaming EVERY ill in Africa on the white man. So why is this different? Are they not responsible? Apparently, pedestrian walkways is not an ill since you cannot explain why a country like Rwanda has pedestrian walkways fully covered but Nigeria doesn't. Before you say Rwanda is a small country which is why it's possible. How about other states in Nigeria that have similar population and are even richer than Rwanda? It would be highly hypocritical if you blame others for every ill you can think of, but omit this one from the list. |
