do4luv14: The first picture that's attached to the post that you quoted is of a screenshot of a tweet. The second picture shows people measuring the area around the manhole. The third picture shows workmen trying to cut through the area around the manhole and the fourth picture shows the warning tape (to warn motorists about the danger) before the manhole. There's no cover. |

lonelydora:I noticed this while there, especially the one along the road that leads to Eliozu and I always pity the drivers that like to drive along pedestrian ways. Almost all have been stolen. 1 Like |

CJ310:The Aluminum guard rails on the Pedestrian bridge at Five Star bus stop along Oshodi-Apapa expressway has been removed. The interesting part is that the rails were actually cut. That pedestrian bridge is now very dangerous to use both in daylight and at night. Lagos state Government needs to do something very fast before we begin to hear stories that touch! 1 Like |

naptu2: yes, view that second pix again, and zoom into manhole, you will see how it was constructed to hold the cover, that's what am talking about, too light, a 17years old, can remove such cover easily |
Re: Widespread Manhole Cover Theft In Lagos by naptu2: 8:00pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
do4luv14: I have seen the actual manhole covers. A 17 year old cannot remove them easily. The thieves usually come with a range of equipment to remove it. As I said, the cover is not in any of the pictures that I posted in my first post. Scroll through the thread, you'll see the covers in my other posts and then tell me if a 17 year old can easily carry them. The cover is much thicker and heavier than what you are assuming from that picture and most importantly, they are sealed. The thieves usually come with equipment to break the seal. |
Re: Widespread Manhole Cover Theft In Lagos by do4luv14(m): 8:02pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
naptu2: OK then, let's see |
Re: Widespread Manhole Cover Theft In Lagos by do4luv14(m): 8:09pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
naptu2: Saw it, still too light and yes, for those round ones, a 17 years old can, by making use of thick ropes and Iron, it can be removed, by two people about that age |
Re: Widespread Manhole Cover Theft In Lagos by naptu2: 8:44pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
do4luv14: They are sealed. Sealed. I've just noticed that you keep changing your responses. First you said that there was a manhole cover in a picture that had no manhole cover (you said it twice and I had to spell out what was in the picture before you changed your response). Then you said that a single 17 year old can remove and carry the cover. Now (after I directed you to my picture that has 2 people) you say that 2 17 year olds can remove and carry the cover with a rope. What will it be next? 1 Like |

What's d difference between manhole and glory hole? |
Re: Widespread Manhole Cover Theft In Lagos by Nobody: 12:04am On Oct 12, 2021 |
OBIPLUS: I guess they usually add it to bulk of scrap exported outside the country. It's heavy metal scrap and when exported in tonnage, has high value in the recycling industry. We don't have much steel mills in Nigeria that can really require such constant supply... |

After they will come to Nairaland to say "...Nigeria is not working...' How will it work with criminals like you? |
Re: Widespread Manhole Cover Theft In Lagos by ikorodureporta: 5:52am On Oct 12, 2021 |
