They do. Intact, they can spray salt to melt the ice. But rather than do that and jobless folks go hungry, penniless and start causing civic disturbances, they hire the jobless folks to do the job and get paid and everyone goes home happy smiley

Lots of equipment to move snow/ice but manpower is needed for some...like clearing snow from the stairs leading down to the subway etc.

You are just as guilty. The money you have used for this trip to U.S should be a million naira or more. You should have invested in a banana plantation instead. The cost of a plot of land in some villages is not more than 80K to 100K, you should have conveniently bought up to 3 or 4 plots and invested your money into such agricultural Ventures, afterwards you can export the products abroad. The chips you are showing us is the handwork of an individual like you and me

You are just as guilty
