There are worse roads in Chicago, Cleveland, Washington DC, New Orleans and several other cities. No place is perfect. In Nigeria it is used in playing politics.

Did you read my post well? I said there are potholes in NY, BUT not as big as this. Did you say DC? I lived in the DC Metro area for several years, where in DC have you seen worse roads like this? As rugged as SE DC is, their roads don't have no portholes let alone as big as this.. Say the truth and put the devil to shame...

Yes, we do have certain areas where infrastructure is lacking.

I chose to not believe that this is mainland USA.

Is this Ladipo market in Lagos? Nope. It's New York in USA according to Twitter user @Burmese_Tyga 

He posted the video online saying "Lemme show you guys the America they don't show you on TV. He said the street is located in New York City.

He also posted another video with beautiful skyscrapers saying that's the America you see on TV as seen in the last photo. 

Have you ever seen this type of road in USA? Whether on TV or in person? Tell us in the comment section.

Somewhere in America.... New York.... Queens precisely....... he is making it up as he goes along. Queens... a borough of NYC. Streets in NYC .... have you ever seen a pic of a street in NYC with no side walk?...or cars not parked neatly along the curb? ... or cars not being driven in lanes?.... or shacks instead of neat rows of buildings ? All present in this.
Potholes... you wouldn't find such potholes in NYC because of how the streets are built. Almost always.... entirely concrete...or concrete at the bottom and asphalt on top. When a pot hole forms... and they do this time of year.... Naija pot holes can't compete! They are not very big as in the pic... they are small.... can be deep...but the side sides are steep and solid... no easing in and out... if you hit a deep one...like I did..m immediate blow out.... I needed a wheel change.... tire finished... rim damaged beyond repair... standard iron rims. NYC ?... every driver biggest fear....potholes... they pop up anytime...any where... but....there are crews that go around at nights filling them. You can even call 311 and report a pothole.... they'll get to it. Why?..the city is responsible for maintenance of the streets. ..and should your car be damaged...then the city can be liable.


Wow one create of Heineken for u and some rounds with NWANYIAWKAETITI. grin

Every other citizens protects the image of their countries. In Africa we show all sort of smelling and dilapidated images to the world. Call our country "zoo" or "shithole".
It's worrisome and tiresome. It's shameful.

if you study or investigate properly you'd find out it's either Nigeria or African filled area so expect nothing else

It is your that type that travel to Libya and then now start praying to go home.

For your info, Nigerians are regarded as one of the the top 10 immigrants communities doing well in the USA.

queen's anyway is a poor part of New York City and has lots of hardworking immigrants that help regenerate New York suburbs

Queens is the most undeveloped city in NY if not the whole of America, I can't say if some part of Detroit is as worst a Queens though but guess what, they still have 4g,electricity and a running water.

The video is true but very misleading. That is why he made it short clip.
Re: American Street Filled With Potholes You Don't See On TV (Photos & Video) by ifymadu: 2:09am On Mar 01, 2018
I doubt the authenticity of this video, I live in the US and have never seen anything close to this before.

But America had to build their nation from scratch

It used to be bad too. They had corruption too. They fought a civil war just like us.

Let us Build our own and be proud of our ancestry.

How did America tackle its corruption?

That's the Iron Triangle. It's like a mechanic village.

The place will be going through major development very soon. NYCFC wanted to build a stadium around that zone.
In the next 18 months or so, it'll have changed

It's actually in Queens NY, but it's a freaking junk yard where people go to scavenge for parts for their cars. I know that place very well and nobody lives there. Whoever posted this trash needs to get their heads examined trying to draw a non existent parallel.

I rmba wen I left JFK airport on my say to grey hound station ( ppl wey dey visit Yankee go know), I'd just come from the UK n I was so disappointed . the roads had super span but men....it felt like driving on third mainland as compared to UK's motorway and France. . then I realised the US just had better opportunities for immigrants. Europe is simply cleaner, mor sane.
Michigan has no public utilities. ...oh I forgot. Its 90% black.US is over hyped
