Isokotolopia:
Unfortunately no true Christian will pray against Israel or for Israel’s failure

isrealites are not Christians, there are more Muslim Isrealites than there are Christian Isrealites.

Who did this to you guys? You have to actually start reading really book aside from your Bible

Couldntfigurean:
And here I was thinking it’s only Igbo people that supports Israel?

I am Igbo, I am not supporting Isreal

IbileIfe:
Before anyone rushes to judge Daddy Adeboye and be ensnared by your spiritual ignorance.
If you don't have anything better to say SHUT UP!
He is not against Palestine.

no, pastor Adeoye should shut up.
Isreal is not a Christian nation and whether or not Isreal is a Christian nation, a man of dog should not encourage war.

Religion is messed up

molas02:
He is praying for his brothers, let Muslim also pray for their brothers

religion is so divisive, it's why I hate religion

Religion, tueh.

Religion na bad thing

He will lose

The last governor of Abia is an Ngwa man, the current governor is still an an Ngwa man, it's not as if we don't have big polticians frm other clans like Umuahia and Abia north but we don't care.
Irrespective of of Otti's Clan or whether Ngwa has ruled for 8 years and Ngwa cannot rule for another 8 years, it does not matter because Otti is the most competent and we are seeing the results.

We have been voting Otti Since 2016 and to be fair, he has been winning but the devilish king-makers in Abia wanted power to go to Abia south because Otti's part of Ngwa is in Abia central.
Regionalism is or the spirit of EMI lokan is a recipe for making bad choices, I can tell you for sure that 2023 election is the only free and fair election that has even happened in Abia state

LOVEALAIGBO:
They should pull out all the stops and make this a showpiece of civil-engineering and greenery! Also ALL dilapidated houses on the once neglected road should be refurbished or repainted at the very least!

In Aba, it won't take time before businessmen buy off those houses. Don't forget that Aba is a major city in Igboland and buying properties is not a problem for igbos in Igbo land

Port Harcourt road in Aba is a 6km road that connects Port harcourt/Enugu expressway to Main park in Aba.

This road is very strategic because it's major entry for commuters coming from Rivers and Bayelsa state.

A federal road that has been abandoned by both past state government and the federal government for the past 24 years.

If Alex Otti finishes this road, PDP will not even get 5k votes in the next Election in Abia state.

DrGoodman:
Tell agbado people, they have abandoned their lives to support a certificate forging drug addict. But we must keep coming to burst 5heir lies. They will never change the narrative.

it's better not to waste time arguing with APC urchins.

You will always get a better life if you work in yourself and let them ravage in stupidity

Since the last election that was rigged, I have discovered that it's no point discussing politics and arguing with people on nairaland when I can use that time to learn a skill.

I started learning frontend web development and today, I have acquired a tech skill in html, CSS, Javascript, bootstrap, react and many UI/UX wire framing tool. I'm going to be learning backend soon.

That time you are going to waste arguing with an APC urchin, let them win the argument here and focus on yourself. Leave them to their foolery. Focus on yourself and leave Nigeria because this country is not ready to change

Abagworo:
As for me what I enjoy most about iPhone is data saving. The ability to turn off data for each app stands the ios out compared with android .

you think iPhone saves data and only iPhones can do this? 😂

Broke child on Nairaland.

Okay 😂
Nigerians self.
My Huawei p50 phone will beat any iPhone you want to bring in features. I'm not even joking.
My Huwei phone has better Camera quality than any IPhone you ca mention. IPhone na bandwagon and as a tech person, it limits me. How do I explain that I must use a MacBook before I can share stuffs with my phone.
It's because you lack basic tech knowledge and that's why you think iPhone is the best phone, sorry, it's not.
I cannot run Linux operating system on my laptop because I'm using iPhone and I hve to use Mac or get a virtual machine to connect to, whta type of nonsense is thay because I Want to follow the iPhone bandwagon . Na dummies like you wey iPhone dey freak and not me

Jeboy:
It's lack of exposure and poverty mindset that makes you think iPhone is overrated. Common Egypt here I went to a program where people come from different countries.

Are you saying they are all wrong for preferring iPhone as their mobile phone choice.

The average 9ja guy or lady will rather bad mouth what they can't afford.

Tell people here to queue for new iPhone now you will see a long queue from Lagos to Adamawa state.
Truth is you like MacBook, iPhone and ios product but you are either materially or mentally broke to afford or recognized that it is good for your hard earned money.

I use HUAWEI P50. It cost N850, 000

It has a better camera then iPhone 14 and similar processing speed.
I can use this phone to snap the craters of the moon and even capture some planets when they are very close.

I don't like iPhone, you know why? It has many limitations

TheMaterialist:
IPhone has better processors than Android.

lol, not all Androids

finallybusy:
How much dey your account?

my phone is worth 800k and it's not an iPhone.

No dey think say na money no dey make some people no dey use iPhone. IPhone has limited functionalities, aside the processivity, that phone is a piece of shit and its only bandwagon that makes people to buy it.

Lol, Tinubu will soon make Nigerian judiciary worthless soon with all his shady acts

PoliteActivist:
Which raises the question:
HOW do you know??

How did you know he's not dead?

cadmanspize:
.
70% waste management problem is solved when a drainage is covered. You can think otherwise, can't do the thinking for you.

How?
Enlighten me?

cadmanspize:
when a drainage is coverd there would be no chance to dump refuese inside it, thus curtailing indiscriminate dumping of refuese & minimizing drainage blockage
.
Problem only arise when downside road is closed & upperside is opened, water carries dumped refuese from the open upperside to block the closed downside.
.
The only reasonable pretext ANSG isn't making coverd drainages is because of fund.
.
would you want 2 strong road or 1 with coverd drainage? There'er villges that would be very exciteted for only gutters talkless of road. Why splash money on coverd drainage when you have such problen on your foot? Naira has lost value for your info. 1B is nothing now.
.
ANSG shoud build coverd drainage where well-needed. Provisions should be made for future possibility of it in some certain roads.
Drainage should be coverd from the uppermost part of the road, otherwise it ends dissastrous.

you people are just plain moronic and brainless.
Even if you cover the drianages, as long as waste management is poor, the plastic waste will still get into the covered drainages through the opening made for water. It's not very hard to understand but Africa does not reason critically. Covered drianages have spaces for water to flow into them, nylons and plastics can enterbinside there to go and back the drianages.
Tackle waste management first then you can talk about covers drianages.
FYI, you cannot cover canals, it's not done anywhere even in Europe, these plastics will still get into your canals because we are just brainless in this continent

Unbiased1:
Just imagine what a human being is writing Which Lagos are you talking about? Both areas with closed gutters and those with open gutters experience flooding in Lagos so how did you come to the conclusion that close drainage is the main problem of flooding in Lagos?

With closed drainage, no one can easily throw trash into the drainage which will reduce the amount of plastic bottles that block our drainage system. And isn't it shameful that Anambra has not been able to solve the waste management issue in the state till now? In that Lagos you mentioned, I can remember how Fashola handled waste management and drainage system in Lagos until Ambode came and runied it with his greed. At that time, LAWMA was the best waste management company in Nigeria under Fashola. Now look at Anambra, a state that boasts of having a company that manufactures waste disposal trucks but can't manage waste.

See how dirty the open gutters in Anambra are and one will just have to wonder what the benefit of open gutter is. Apart from reduced cost of construction, there is no other reasonable benefit of open gutters. Facts about open drainages:

1) People can easily dump their waste into the open gutters at will.
2) Waste materials on the road can be pushed into an open gutter either by wind, rain or just by the residents kicking them into the gutters.
3) Open gutters are known to get filled up at a much faster rate and quickly get blocked by waste materials and sand which then become a perfect building ground for mosquitoes and for the easy spread of diseases.
4) Open gutters are easy death traps as people can fall into them and either sustain serious injuries or worse, death
5) The only advantage of open drainages is that they are cheaper to construct than closed drainages.

For the closed drainages:

1) Closed drainages are fitted with manhole covers which can be opened just incase the drainage needs major cleaning.
2) Waste materials can't easily get into closed drainages because they are covered and only the openings available are usually small enough to allow only water get in.
3) While it's possible for closed drainages to also get blocked, they provide less outlets for mosquitoes and other insects to escape making them contribute less to the spread of diseases as compared to opened drainages.
4) Closed drainages also tend to restrict the spread of foul smell better than opened drainages.
5) People can't fall into closed drainages thereby reducing risks on the road.
6) Closed drainages are more aesthetically pleasing and act as pedestrian walk ways.

this writeup is a example of how backward the educational system of this country has become because I cannot imagine that you read everything here properly and still came up with this.

Ofodirinwa:
I agree with you. It's insane living steps away from a bacteria pool so foul that it's turning bright green. Even if Nigerians knew how to dispose, where would they place it? There's not waste management system in most NIgerian cities. And worst, these drains don't 'lead' anywhere to be clogged from. They're just trenches lol

I don't know for drianages in Anambra but most drianages tha I have seen lead somewhere, they are only clogged.

For example, every gutter in Mushin, surulere, orile, Ajegunle and Ijora connects to a central canal that channels this water to the lagoon, this is true for most parts of Lagos but the problem is that they have been clogged by plastic waste before even getting to the lagoon.

Umuahia town is another example, it has a central canal that collects from other drianages and then sends all the water to Imo River.

Ofodirinwa:
You cannot possible believe those open drains are actually draining anything lol. How can you have a drain that doesn't lead anywhere. It's just a bacteria pool that every now an then the sun dries up.

Open drains aren't even drains, it's just ditches that are dung by habit and ignorance. Without said drain, nobody would change, unless we want to pretend they have kept their roads flood or puddle free.

I have not seen a Nigerian road that's even designed to send excess water into a drain

many of you Nigerians are sciolists.
The reason why you have clogged gutters that never flows all boils down to poor waste management within our towns and cities. It's as simple as that.

An average Nigeria does not understand that you don't just dispose plastic and nylon waste indiscriminately, it's going to block your gutter. So if you have a bacteria culture infront your house, you caused it and your government cannot clean your mess. You want to always create bacteria culture in front your house so the government can cover your shame.
Covering the gutter does not solve the issues of flooding, you are only trying to cover your shame. When the time comes, we still need to spend extra money to open up your shame.
The bacteria culture will be there whether closed or opened as long as waste management is abysmal. Covering it even makes it worse, only that you don't get to see it.
So it's better we leave it open so we can see how shameless of a people we are. It becomes easy to clean up our mess that way.

[quote author=Armon post=126078703][/quote]your questions doees not make any sense and that's why I'm not answering it.
The issue is that open drianages makes it easier to desilt gutters, close drianages creates a problem of having to locate where it's blocked and opening them up every now and then.
Since we cannot get waste management right yet, open the drianages for easier desilting instead of closing it, when waste management is good, you can easily close them. It's common sense and not rocket science.
I don't know how that relates to this question you are asking.

Purehuman:
There is no one step at a time in this. Open drainage is the major causes of malaria and other diseases. It is dirty and something should be done about it. We should stop spending money and the same project every 8years. People will live based on the liberty and infrastructure you provide. Let everyone take responsibility so that Anambra will grow finally. Its saddening seeing open drainages in 2023.

close drianages can also cause malaria, mosquitoes will simply use the spaces for water entry to enter there and breed so it doesn't make any sense here.
You can always close the drianages when time is right but you cannot wait for the right time to construct a road. The problem associated with closed drainages in an environment like Africa is much more than the aesthetic benefits.

[quote author=Armon post=126071776][/quote]I insist that you don't know what you are talking about.
Roads are designed based on the peculiarities of the environment. Closed drianages in Nigeria now will be a disaster.

The only way this can make sense to me is if waste management issues is mitigated and then you can close every single drainage in the country unless the canals. Just com to Lagos and see how canals are clogged, you will understand why state governments decide to keep drianages open for now.

Oga, calm down, even in Akwa Ibom, drainages are usually opened, the difference is that Akwa Ibom roads have defined pedestrian walkways, any government that is covering drainages now in Nigeria does not know what she's doing

Armon:
If is closed how will plastics enter there .. the essence of closing them is make sure refuse can’t be dumped inside it … it should be desillted and closed. Simple road in Ago place way to apple junction is built with covered drains and light poles. Please let stop supporting our Government they are not working.

I saw I road constructed in Akwaibom at Ikotekpene” see wide road with street light drains sealed… I wept… is not capital ooo… some people will still come at me ..If you visit places within your locality like and observe then you will know ANSG is not serious

Look at NFF there is no stadium in the south east that was chosen, it should hurt us because we don’t take infrastructures seriously. Every other regions were taken the next thing we shout marginalization but the ones we can do we will not … shall we justify that by saying we don’t have money? Look at how thy laugh at us…on the media.

Let’s forget about stadium… simple standard road is like rocket science… let me not talk about roundabouts.
Abia has signed up SiX lanes roads in Umuahia atleast to level up the capital… south east needs to wake up…
Say what is bad … is not with dirty open drains we become Taiwan of Africa. If we change the way things are done then change will be visible.

They triple up money for roads construction and take their shares after the road is constructed it will be like child’s play or Golgotha and ANSG will keep quiet because they are part of the play.

The least we can do is not to support this madness. A road should be wide with lights … the road constructed at Amansea is not wide, yet both sides are free… not light poles, no covered drains… Biko is a shame to US

You Cannot close drianages when you have not solved waste management issues and your people are oroented enough.

Come to Lagos, close drianages is one of the major issues Lagos state government is facing with respect to flooding.
One step at a time bro, don't run faster than your shadow. We are there yet.

The best most of our contractors can to now is open drianages with well-defined pedestrian walkway beside it so that we can easily manage the roads

Why collect PVC when the election is gonna be rigged anyways

hammerFC:
ALL THOSE OPEN DRAINS ALL OVER THE PLACE NEED A SERIOUS GOV TO COME ALONG AND DECLARE THEM ILLEGAL.


THEY NOT ONLY NEED TO BE COVERED BUT SEALED SO NOBODY CAN JUST OPEN THEM ANYHOW.

You are talking like an ignorant person, how do you close drianages in Nigeria when we dispose plastic waste indescrimately? We have not gotten to that level just yet.

If not the whole closed drianages will be blocked and desitling them will be problematic
