Supposed difference ofcourse for both new & old cities. Lets just hope somethinig like this for Awka 2.0, Onitsha 2.0 and the upcoming Industral Cities.

Actually there's nothing difficult in achieving this all round the city, the drainages should just be reconstructed to fit in the slabs......

cadmanspize:


ANSG built some drainages like that, e.g Amansea road.

The disadvantages of these slaps far outweighs the advantages especially in Nigeria where maintenance culture is an eye sore. I bet you in two years the entire gutters will be filled with sand and refuse and government hardly desilt it so it's better they keep it open or partly covered

Unbiased1:


So if the gutters are opened, they won't be filled with sand and refuse? I'm still trying to understand how some of you reason honestly.

Starcrest1:


There's nothing like disadvantage or advantage here, we should make our cities look modern. This is even the simple underground drainage. Cities like New York and Chicago use more complex ones.

If it fills up, it should be desilted just as they desilt the open ones.

An enlightened person shouldn't compare an extremely corrupt country like Nigeria to an advance state governed by sound intelligent people. Even Ghana is a far better and organized than us. There's nobody that will make the drainage to look like New York cos even the so called ministry of environment are benefiting from the rots. When it's sanitation days , go out and clean your drainage .

Starcrest1:


Nothing concerns corruption with this, there's corruption but they are constructing roads, they should have left the roads because there's corruption.

If they could do road with walkways, there's nothing stopping them from covering the drainages up. It might just be that it didn't cross their mind. It's just for the Governor to tell the contractor, this is what I want, they will implement it.

Hell Kaduna, Jos, even Enugu has some roads like that it's not rocket science......

And I never said it should be like that of New York, although it's not a crime if it's like that. We are not animals but humans. New York uses deep under ground sewage system but this is just a simple drainage with cover.

Even Awka Millennium city has it stop condoning mediocrity.......

Phantom233:
there's no state that doesn't have these fantasy drainage of yours but my point is that due to our poor maintenance culture it will eventually get filedup and abandoned by the relevant authorities . The manjor disadvantages of this covered drainage is that it's difficult to take off the covers to desilt the refuses.

Starcrest1:
Lastly nobody should use this rubbish as slab before ekwensu akpoo mmadu oku..........

seanfer:


Even Julius Berger is still using that old fashioned slabs.

Catapault:


Because we let them build rubbish. They can never build it like that in Germany, their country.

Starcrest1:


Oga stop capping thrash. So because it's difficult to desilt drainage we shouldn't upgrade to modern cities.

They should do it first, you are not the governor nor the contractor yet you are worrying about how to desilt drainage when it hasn't even been covered.

People that are doing it don't have three heads.

Phantom233:

It's like you don't have a handwork eles you'll be thinking of better things other than drainage covers ,I rest my case on you.

Starcrest1:


No rest, continue writing rubbish. Na your type go oppose the construction of road because accidents will happen on smooth road therefore roads should not be constructed.

Useless excuses everywhere........

Phantom233:
it's very important for you to examine your IQ before commenting. Gutters/drainages that are open can easily be desilt or maintained by the public without waiting for government contracts.
