Sanwo-olu is wacking.
And don't worry, tinubu will commission the dumpsite.

PlayerMeji:
When will Nigerian governors learn to build streets and roads without open gutters...?

These things show the laziness on the part of the government, imagine still constructing open gutters in the major roads in the 21st century whereby underground drainage systems have taken over the whole world...

Kemetian:
SOWETO.

Is this also not part of South Africa??

Why did they not fix this part?

OP, WHY didn't you show us this part?

The City of Johannesburg’s busiest road, Lilian Ngoyi Street, was finally reopened after two years of repairs.

One person died and 48 others were injured in the explosion when the major corridor, formerly known as Bree Street, was split in two by a massive gas explosion during peak hour traffic on 20 July 2023.

Businesses and commuters were severely affected by missed deadlines, as the repair work took nearly 26 months to complete, which was double the initial deadline.

The newly reconstructed road, between Loveday Street and End Street, will be a one-way street travelling eastbound.

The road has been resurfaced with paving bricks, moving away from traditional tarred surfaces.

The JMPD said it appreciates the public’s cooperation and patience during the rehabilitation period and urged continued vigilance as everyone adjusts to the new road layout.

I agree with you bro, but in nigeria, it still creates a problem. For Instance, in Marina lagos island, the gutters are fully covered, but we see people pissing around the covered gutters leaving the whole place so smelly that you are left to think that government should just leave the gutters open

When will Nigerians learn proper waste disposal? The cost of freeing a clogged closed drain is high. Let’s Nigerians stop indiscriminate dumping of refuse and throwing refuse everywhere first.

LOL, why is it that as soon as someone posts anything positive about SA, the urge is to counter it with negativity? I think that says a lot about you guys, anyway, this is Soweto, of which I'm certain dwafs many of your highbrow areas

PulaPower:
Says who..

Been to SA before. Stayed at Midrand then. A white dominated area!
There’s absolutely nothing special in SA. It’s just another country where you have to be paying every gaadamnnn bills monthly.
Nigeria is by far better!

PlayerMeji:
Is it not the responsibility of the government to provide proper waste disposal and management systems for its citizenry?

When these things are provided, it will not be hard for the citizens to adapt to/or adopt these systems. When these systems are provided, government may now jail or fine defaulters who chose to neglect these systems.

The world has grown beyond open gutters on streets and major roads. Even Abuja hardly has open gutters except you go to the suburbs like Nyanya, Karu, Kubwa, etc..

Anywhere you call a City is not supposed to have these open gutters except in Nigeria cities...

tpain121:
with what you wrote up there, you’ve not been to SA before.

Na one of Una I talk about up there.

Nigeria is better than SA how?

Focusmind:
When you travel outside Nigeria, you will begin to understand how corruption has under developed the country in all segments of Nigeria. Our standards in this country are terribly low. Sadly, those standards are being celebrated regularly by corrupt politicians and their supporters. Make no mistake about this: our national infrastructure is nothing to write home about compared to our contemporaries around the world. I have been to Europe, Canada, US and Southern Africa, Southern Africa countries are miles ahead of other parts of Africa in terms of infrastructural development

When the citizen stop stealing available covet and manhole covers..
Was in ikoyi recently and i saw police arresting one of two guys digging out network cable in broad day afternoon.

Kushites:
Kai....See poverty mentality.......

So, is it these cheap houses you are comparing with Nigeria?

Look....This is just a small part of Abuja, Not even the most high profile area. This is real black African wealth, not those clips you posted from Soweto.

IronGalaxy:
Hahaha.. you're literally proving my point... You have to bring your capital city to compare with a tiny South African township It's because you know you can't compare.. Abuja is equivalent to a small town in South Africa..nothing special here. Bring your townships or hoods and compare them with Soweto. Oranges with Oranges... because Waterfall city in South Africa alone will make Abuja look like a slum, never mind Cape Town.. .. for your sake, let's stick to townships..

Actually.. lemme do this, let's compare Soweto's infrastructure with your country.. as a whole..I wanna see something
I'll start..
Here's a stadium in Soweto (a mere township). Show me anything better in your country ...

Kushites:
The problem with debating people like you is that you tell lies with smiley emojis, which is so irritating.

Abuja is a city of 5 million people, so it is not “like a small town in South Africa”.

You have STILL not shown us BLACK WEALTH in South Africa.

Don’t show off with your apartheid-era infrastructure or rich white neighbourhoods.

They have nothing to do with you.
