Paulosky1900:


That's Nigeria for you, high rate of armed robbery everywhere, I know it's not their personal properties but the governor just paved way for armed robbery in those areas cos Nigeria itself lacks security

no b this kind gate dey pursue thief na.

Good for some of them but not all, that's how some crazy vigilantes wont open the gate at 5am, telling people to wait till their mumu boss off their shakabula lamp, thereby delaying innocent people going to work in the morning.

Paulosky1900:
I thought those gates were for safety of those living within.....just don't understand the reasons for removing those gates

It can also be for safety for criminals committing crimes outside then dashing within.
Right or wrong?...ask yourself. ..is the street a public or private street?...then ask yourself... is it right or wrong to put gates on a public street?

naptu2:
There's a reason.

Those gates make it difficult for emergency services to respond to emergencies on time (I witnessed a situation where the police had to go round the block in order to confront armed robbers because the street gates were shut).

The gates also cause traffic jams because they make it impossible for motorists to use alternative routes.

However, it is not all street gates that are being removed. The conditions for having a street gate are that

(1) The gates must be open between 5am and midnight.

2) There must be a guard at the gate that can open it for the emergency services.

It's only when these conditions are not met that the gates are removed.

You deserve a Nobel Prize for this reply.
