later they'll say Lagos is neater than Onitsha :-

An average public toilet in Lagos is neater than any hospital in Onitsha.

Onitsha is the dirtiest city in the world.

I know for sure that if the houses in front of these drains are tasked with removing the garbage they will oblige like it is done innedo state and then the government will come and remove the waste but when the government refuses the rains will push them back.
I know for certain that people are ready to do the needfull but is the government ready to do its part

Stop disgracing yourself like a typical illiterate from the land where the sun never rises. Not everyone's mouth smells like those of your elders at home.

Aba, Onitsha and Umuahia are in the Top 20 most polluted cities in the world.

Onitsha in particular is the worst latrine in the world. Dirty stinking place.

You and ur useless tribe are known for your legendary false data generation.

Indeed, when it rains very hard, flooding is bound to occur on roads and streets.

However, the intensity of the flooding can be determined by the quality of drainage system put in place to channel the floodwater away from the roads and street.


Lagos state is one place that is not exactly famous for clean and dirt-free drainage systems.

In Lagos, drainage systems are typically considered by many of its residents as an alternative to refuse dumps.

This disgraceful culture is particularly not helped by the fact that the state government sees absolutely nothing crude about building uncovered drainages in a major city like Lagos in the 21st Century.

So, when next there is a less than torrential rainfall in Lagos, and it floods, no one ought to be surprised – the reasons are out there for us to see.

This is disgraceful to Lagos

Lagos of all State can't build a quality drainage system but they will be happy to embezzle Billions of naira annually in the name of building mega state or city.


The total 2018 Budgets pass by Abia,Imo,Anambra,Ebonyi Governments was #690Billion but for lagos was #1.046Tri 11.4% lower than Nigeria Budget.

But still no proper allocation for drainage system in lagos.

this is very shameful to lagos Government and it citizens

It's not about the Government but we the citizens, we should follow best practices e.g stop dumping refuse indiscriminately, stop blocking drainage ways. If I were the governor I will ban the sale of sachet water cos it is the largest contributing factor to blocked drainages....

my bro have always complained about this a decade ago. we are still at that same junction 10yrs after. Urban Lagos indeed.


Ratio 10:1 is the scale of infrastructural development that the government of Lagos gives with island and mainland.

When that ocean wakes up, it will defy the ideology and skills and techniques of the best engineer the world ever has that is under the employ of Ambode.


SMH. what a waste.
