aworatak:
Imagine what is coming from somebody’s mouth.
You are displaying this hypocrisy because the road in question was constructed by Makinde who happens to be your master’s enemy

nairalanda1:
It is not right, old man.

We should not be using a road to dry food on it. It is better our agricultural engineers build drying machinery that could do that comfortbaly off the road.

That people were doing market near the railway lines for as long as I can recall does not mean that it was right either, for example

FILEBE:
Maybe the poster over reacted , maybe.

Normally, what the man did isn't something that should be allowed en masse. If it continues, that place may just become a market hub for casava sellers and someone will start taxing them for it.

Talk about how we have such menance in Lagos. Market women will leave their store to sell on the main road and always fighting pedestrians and motorist if they happen to pass infront of th store anyhow . A two lane road will now become a one lane

erniok:
So it's the government responsibility to provide him with agro processing equipments right?

Nigerians with their entitlement.

iwaeda:
This just social media content. It's normal to see people drying garri, egusi, elubo (yam flour), cassava, okro, pepper by the road sides. This is not an offence.

Let them keep supporting him. See somebody asking if govt provides agro-processing equipment for him. So na govt go deh provide everything for them? Some of you just like defending nonsense, later they will be comparing Nigeria with UK, can this type of nonsense happen in the UK? Fact is most Nigerians behave anyhow and believe anything goes.

cr7lomo:
It isnt normal...its abnormal... reason some business partners i had from Kenya once told me that Nigerians see abnormal as normal

Olofofo247ng:
Here is a man caught sun drying Cassava on the newly constructed expressway in Ibadan. This has caused a lot of uproar online as some people are criticizing the man and the non-challant attitude of most Nigerians towards basic amenities provided by the government. While some people view it from the hygiene perspective, to some, it is just the safety concern. Other people feel it is normal practice everywhere in Nigeria and it is natural. As a Nigerian, what are your views about this?

How can you sun cassava on newly constructed express road in Oyo State?

Why are you people so okay with billions being looted than spent judiciously on the people? What is the collective wealth for if not things like providing in large scales for farmers?

Belawy:
What is bad in sun drying Cassava on the road?

TheGoodJoe:
Until infrastructure for farmers is provided in mass, all the man to hustle for his family. No one will feed him.

SmartyPants:
Rather than rant, why not answer the simple question I asked?

A. After providing tools for every single farmer, why should the government stop there? Won't they build factories for you and I to process the agricultural goods? Won't they buy trucks for you and I to operate logistics businesses to transport the goods?

Love to hear your thoughts.

B. And since the government has refused, isn't it a good idea for us to vandalise all available public utilities to solve our individual desires? You can vandalise the roads while I vandalize the street lights to support my iron condemn business. While Seun can take the electric poles as his own share.

Wouldn't you agree?

Don't reply me without answering both questions.

nairalanda1:
Yes, and he can then form a group and ask his local govenrment for help, or indigenes of the state or area who have experience in fabricating solutions to the problem can do so.

We should stop using poverty as an excuse for illegality. The food they are drying on the road is exposed to all sorts of pollution and dirt...and then it enters someone's stomach, and then person starts falling sick, and everyone blames everyone else for problem wey get simple solution.

TheGoodJoe:
Yes it is. It is not entitlement. There is a video of a Nigerian girl in Germany, where the government spent 22,000 Euros, to train her in driving and maintaining modern vans, and still bought a van for her?

It is not entitlement. It is the duty of the government.
