Why shld the govt clean it up.... is it the govt that littered the place... if people choose to live like animals, why shld the govt not aid them. #Nonsense&ingredients.

Personally, I hv stopped pitying anyone over self inflicted harm....
Why do states have ministry of environment?Don't they receives allocation for such purpose?Btw,lagos state creates LAWMA to clear wastes and lagosians pay wastes bill.You are part of the mess that politicians are causing.

Nigeria will never develop until severe punishment is meted out to whoever embezzle money meant for development

Like some people have said sometimes money are awarded for this kind of project but get embezzled because nothing happened to someone else who embezzled that kind of money in the past

The worst anyone who embezzle money suffered is been taking to court and the case get dragged for many years without judgment

Check how people who embezzle government money are dealt with in kenya or any other develop countries and you will see the kind of development on ground in that country

Nigeria is just a joke because of the kind of leaders we have

Into JagaBandit's pocket via bullion vans for bribing voters.

I see no much difference btwn Some parts of Nigeria and Kenyan cities in terms of cleanliness... From what I see this is just a temporal thing sooner or later they will block those drainages with dirt. Typical of African mentality.

Is there anything that you are doing to improve this typical African mentality

This Twitter Thread On Jamaican Men In Relationships Is Sad & Funny

Last week, Kavaughn Williams asked a question on Twitter. It seemed harmless, but has led to a wildfire that hasn’t quenched till now. After reading through comments on Jamaican men in relationships, you’d be left unhappily laughing.

We have policemen and DSS and all, why exactly do u bother to lock your doors exactly? Any body that dumps refuse in the gutters and on the streets in good concise shld be let to die of flood and cholera

It’s people like you that feel the politicians are brought down from heaven and not part of the buck passing populace ... LAWMA comes to pick refuse from ur refuse dumps not frm the gutters. Nigerians deserve the life they get.

The rainy season is just about kicking off.

Countries – especially those in the tropical region – that have witnessed severe cases of flooding due to heavy rainfall in recent years, are putting measures in place to avert such crisis from repeating itself.

For instance, in Kenya, the government is taking proactive steps to ensure that there are no flooding in city centers especially in big cities like Nairobi, Mombasa, etc.

There, the authorities are making concerted efforts to clear up blocked drainage systems. ahead of the rainy season.

Blocked drainage systems in cities can lead to flooding, a situation where water is diverted from the channels into roads, homes, etc.

Sadly, in Lagos state, a place prone to flooding, and also a place that is supremely notorious for blocked drainage systems, there has been absolutely nothing done to rid the drainage systems of refuse.

See photos of the clean-up exercise of drainage systems in cities in Kenya.

you dont always need the government to help u in every situation, with communal labour citizens themselves can clean their gutters and sanitize your environment. Show the government you are wiser and better

Well fashola used to do this in lagos when he was governor. They will clear the canals and drainage ahead of rainy season. I remember they had to break some buildings just to clear the canals and people complained and he made them see reason why it was necessary to destroy the houses blocking canals.

But the fat pig olodo governor called ambode is not useful for anything.

The FY 2018 budget for Kenya was $30 billion while Nigeria's was $27 billion.So what are you talking about?
