If dis is what is called pothole, then we do not have potholes in Nigeria. Our bad roads can comfortably qualify for wormholes, drumholes and dirt roads
even black holes..

He no need come Nigeria, he just need look the pictures.


To require and expect a good society no be mumuism. Na Nigeria get mumu pass. Even war torn countries outside of Africa, dey make sense on the environmental presentation, weda on pictures or videos.


Greed have finished us. You think say their own leaders no fit chop all the national money. Anyone from Norway, sweden, Europe, and other places will be expecting the local government to pay the guy. No be big deal for them, but to us na unbelievable. Black curse dun tie wrapper for africa. Tufiakwa.

Nigerian roads are the reason why cars don't last in dis country. They are the reasons why Honda bow joints will always pull and why Toyota shocks will always eventually go bad. If Nigerian roads are as bad as d one dis guy considers as potholes, Nigerians would celebrate having gud roads

Whenever a governor does his job, they say he tried or is trying. The standard is so low that it will be a crime if government official weren't useless.

Buhari has completed one railway from Lagos to Ibadan and it is considered an achievement, only in Nigeria.

Achievement is when you build a rail network with little or no debt, using indigenous labour, supplies and engineers.


Projects that leaders of other nations have embarked on over 20yrs ago is what they are proud of.. And they are not even trying to catch up!

In the UK you can even claim compensation for a Pavement Trip Injury if you Slip/Trip/Fall over an uneven pavement because if a council fails to take the proper precautions and you’ve been injured as a result, then it’s likely you could make a personal injury claim to help cover the physical, emotional and financial impact your injury may have had on you and those around you.

You even have Pavement Trip Lawyers who will offer you a 100% No Win No Fee gurantee of your case meaning that if you lose, you pay them nothing.

Our lawyers in Nigeria are not committed to taking such cases or testing our laws in court which could have eventually led to a fairer saner society where the rule of law obtains regardless of those involved. Instead, our SAN's are more dedicated to defending ballot snatching corrupt politicians who can pay them large sums from our stolen common wealth and this is because if the whole system collapses, the children of these SAN's live abroad in houses purchased with cash their fathers got from these same corrupt politicians who have brought Nigeria to its knees..

the man get mind. In naija we even pay for third party insurance and we dey repair our cars ourselve. Different wahala for different folks.

Explorers:
A man who had to pay £300 to fix his car sent the bill to his council after finding out some of the damage was probably caused by potholes.

Al Mitchell slammed Plymouth City Council for ‘ignoring’ his pleas to fix the streets near his home, which he says are riddled with holes.

Eventually Al got so fed up, he sent them the bill for restoring his car.


Photos of the surface of the road show several potholes, some that appear to have been patched up previously. The road appears loose, and there is damage to the road markings and lines on the street.

Explorers:
A recent test showed Al’s car had significant damage to the ball joint of the suspension arms.

He told Plymouth Live: ‘I asked the manager down there for the workshop, and he said it had likely been caused by driving over potholes regularly.

‘It’s absolutely ridiculous, we’ve been on to them for the past four years about it.

We’ve filled in about five forms, rung them a number of times, and all we get is “oh the road’s fine”.

‘We sent them (the council) the MOT bill in the last complaint but we haven’t had anything back from them yet. I highlighted on the bill the repairs I’d been told were likely caused by the potholes.

It all just falls on deaf ears.

‘Over four years we’ve been on to them about it, and they’ve partially filled some in once, and then now they’re even worse.

‘It needs the whole stretch redoing, especially with the amount of traffic that comes down here now. It’s just constant.’
