closed gutters would be a bad idea for nigeria.....who wan enter the gutters to clean the waste then??...people could die too from bio gas...

what we need are filters,then we can talk about closed gutters....but we nigerians are more careless than the europeans and americans..

they are not as careless like us....

With closed gutters, there'd be no waste to clean bro.

Imagine your water pipe at home, what do you think the possibility is of finding waste in it

Probably a zero chance, cause the pipeline is a closed system.

We need closed system gutters with filters and manholes for the once in a blue moon inspection.

the problem of this country is lack of adequate sewage system,,, why won't this happen when all the money for all this project has been looted by some set of people,,, hmmm may God save us from this amunisin government ooo hmmm

Nigerians are just a special breed of dirty!!
We can blame the government all we want, but 80% of the blame actually comes back to ourselves.

Nigerians are the only set of nationality I know, that would see a waste bin or disposal container 4 feet away from them and still chose to throw away trash into the closest gutter, the floor or just anywhere they chose to fling!- they just don't care and do it with reckless abandon.

See the way the drainage is filled with takeaway plates and plastic bottles.... smh!

Control the spiritual flooding of buharism and the physical flooding will disappear.

People on this thread keep acting like they can wave a magic wand and stop people from littering.

When you draw up designs, you take these things into consideration.

Have you ever seen an open gutter anywhere in the U. S

Why won't people throw stuff in an open gutter

Why do you always type without using your brain? Is it the government that dump plastic bottles and disposable sh1ts into the drainage.

I will tear you slap next time you type without praying for sense to fall on you, Atole

That guy in the first pic is dumb, he should be able to cover himself completely. He has exposed himself to different forms of bacteria and stench in the drainage.

Yes ,i live in the US and there quite a few open gutters in my neighborhood.When there's strict enforcement and better orbanised society then even open gutters are able to stay clean.

USA is clean bcuz they have strict enforcement ,Kigali ,Rwanda is very neat bcuz they have strict enforcement ,a maintenance culture and an organized society that's been cultured to respect rules.That is not so in the anything goes man eat man societies like Lagos and a few other cities.
