Video clip of flooded school

If you're observant, you'll notice in the video that the school is built below grade level, which will make it impossible for water to flow by gravity into the open drainage in the street. Didn't the architect or builder do a site analysis before building this school?

Every time I see images like this I often wonder if the gene that aspires to high standards is missing from the Nigerian DNA. No one is asking for Dubai-type architecture, but I don't see how youngsters can be motivated to reach for the moon when they’ve been conditioned since adolescent to live with and accept the mediocrity all around them.


And then, there is the school built by a Church
