Man-made Potholes: Why Do Nigerians Dig Roads? by Iolo(m): 10:27pm On Nov 23, 2014
We all complain of bad roads. The government isn't trying and all. For a long time I have been of the opinion that pot holes were as a result of poor road construction till very recently I discovered that besides shoddy works we now have specialists who dig these roads.

You pass thru a road today and by next week when you are making a return trip, a massive pot hole appears in a spot there was none.

I have once witnessed a hoe left on the road. And then it all clicked. Robbers dig the roads to slow people down just enough so they can be waylaid. Mechanics may also be a part of the game. Your car gets bad and you see a mechanic with ready tools rush up to you like he was waiting for this to happen.

God knows who else digs these roads for whatever reason.

My question is...why do we have crazy people in this country? no matter how things are bad with corruption and the utter uselessness of our leadership, can we not rally round in ensuring that the little that is done is enjoyable?

Recently I've noticed this man made potholes on the sagamu - Abeokuta express way. Also on Lagos - Ibadan, and Epe - Ijebu-Ode too.

Am going to run down the next digger I see. I don't have a gun cause shooting these fools on sight would have been a better option. But for now, just ram them down. Let them continue the work on hell.


Please no PDP, APC or political bashing on this thread. Let's keep it apolitical and matured.

Nice one.

Me showing you a pic of a digger means I'm just about to get robbed. So you want me to get robbed so I can prove to you a point?
