This doesn't make the road contractor/ construction worker selfish. He has the quality of his job to uphold, and this involves ensuring the road doesn't get flooded when it rains.
To achieve this, the road has to be slightly elevated, with drainages supplied at both sides.
The normal thing is for roads to be constructed FIRST, before buildings are sited on either sides of the road. This way, the house builder checks the road elevation, and does the proper filling on his site, to elevate it above the road level. That is the normal order. But since government hardly does things in order here, there is no choice than having it in reverse.

That's the cause of the problem here. Don't blame the road construction crew. They did their job. Government and town planning authorit. ies didn't do theirs.

there's a way round the design where everyone will be accommodated,if the gutters are lower using the house with the lowest levels as benchmark,the centre of the road can still be raised such that 'run-off'( water) still flows into the drainages(gutter). Its just a matter of design. I studied civil engineering/hydrology

kkfox:
Bros na government you go blame. The contractor builds the roads while the Town Planning departments enforce setbacks, many times government won't pay compensation for properties to be demolished or as is common in PH they'll pay part and severe the buildings.

...but it's not about paying compensation,just dig deeper and take levels so that the stand-in residence don't get affected,its laziness/greed

As roads get constructed nationwide,its more likely than not to see roads being constructed in already inhabited areas,how it has come to the fore that contractors due to maybe to cut cost of digging or just laziness tend not to consider the 'levels' on the houses in the said area.
They do the roads higher than the houses on the left/right of the said road/drain,and illustration is the 'rich' residents along abacha road in Port Harcourt who witness perennial flooding ,other areas abound in Lagos and many other cities!
What are we the residents suppose to do when a blessing seemingly calls to a curse?
Pls help

Just curious,but how does the police 'officially' generate revenue?

So is this 'mr Akwuaza(ghana)' now is police custody for interrogation?
....and the governor equally portrayed his level of ineptitude (security-wise)the deceased told him about his life being under threat mostly likely with concrete reasons,yet gov. Ortom did nothing.
The other part of the report are basically stories

Not concise

sholay2011:
Which one be Abuja brown? Orisiirisii...

a little like the nairaland background color

Abuja brown or dove grey will be okay for the main body, not too light and not too dark.the POP crowns can take a darker color, then the columns can go with offwhite/brown. PM me for your high quality paints, satin/emulsion/texcote.....4-yr warranty on products

If the stadium is easier to access,security guaranteed and beautiful football,i will attend
Too bad the game ended 0-0 though,an anti-climax

Unpardonable offences? Just imagine when there are people committing inhuman offences at the top and nothing is done about it. Creating further unemployment in a country where depression is running on a high speed like usain bolt.
There was a country. LASTMA might be corrupt but isnt the country already fantastically corrupt? What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Lagos state should take responsiblity of paying osun state salaries for them na,in return we can use Osun as a site for dumping refuse or parking trailers.

Don't come to nl to showcase ur abysmal ignorance. Why?

you have a very poor sense of humor,go and improve yourself in that regard

Do we even have the electricity to power the nuclear plant in the 1st instance?

Tragic.my condolences to the man and her family.
If it's Nigeria,the police will stupidly get the man arrested and alleged that he killed his wife!! Someone that should only be questioned as investigations go on oh!

Good strategy but on the govt side,they should enquire how much it will cost dangote to do the road oh,and not lazily rely on what his company tells us. Else he'll end up paying only 30% of his income tax for the next 500yrs.
Good strategy once again.

Ah yes,pengassan...big boys and enemies of the nigerian masses,so why they are telling us now? OYO oh.......why not they go on strike so we don't have fuel,oh that already happening!!mscheeww
If they can't use the monies made over the yrs to setup a biz then that's their biz.
*continues sipping watery beans*

Love tends to elude them

Name 1 thing the nigerian govt provides for its people,just one......we have generators(for electricity),vigilantes( for police),boreholes(for water corporation).
Pls name 1 thing

Why should the law aid in the destruction of a 2nd life. Lekan isn't sociopathic killer or an armed robber.
Manslaughter not murder pls

Since we say men and women shld be treated equally,then a female cleaner shouldn't be a big deal

annnikky:
Hw do u expect d man to tell d court d@ they r lovers? Even if they're lovers d man in Q will deny everything so d@ he'll not end up in jail.

her ex-employer commit no crime by engaging in adultery,its merely to aid in the investigation he will admit it,even if he doesn't the police can always trace the hotel in abuja to find out if they slept in the same room

It's crucial! Cases should be judged based on intent and and to an extent human reaction to some level of provocation.
The police should interview her alleged lover,if he confirms that he did have an affair with her,then it's more likely the hubby found out or the deceased taunted him.
The police/court should take the case as man slaughter,3 months prison sentence+ community service that's all.
