They don't need to remove it with machine. By Feb next year, when the lagoon would be highly salty, the weeds will die off
And what happens from now 13th October 2016 to February 2016 you mentioned?

Leave the waterways filled with waterweed and ensure boats get clogged in it which will destroy their engines and make travelling on our waterways difficult....

This should be an all year round exercise as activities go on on our waterways all year round.
We shouldn't wait for the lagoon to get salty before we rid it of weeds.

lol @ hateful, bitter and disgruntled crying ant Nigerian ipob.... grin


When sensible and competent governments like Lagos state do great things like buying and deploying modern machinery to clean up the waterways, it is a bad thing and attempt to steal?


And when they don't do anything like they do in your village nko? It's a great thing grin

Lagos is steady moving forward even ahead of Nigeria, but you village where they don't siphon money can not do anything and they have nothing to show for the taxes and allocations they collect on your behalf..... grin

So, who is really the mumu? grin


silly ipobs... grin
see finishing! flawless victory

I pray the Plan for affordable residency in the state be solved. The cost of living in this state is climbing daily.

I guess you are always the bitter one

And I can bet you aren't even from Lagos State.

Bro, take it easy. The guy is entitled to whatever he believes in

Stop having headaches cool


Meanwhile, kudos to the Lagos State government

Because only ipobs spew such hateful, ignorant, illiterate and idiotic nonsense.


And common sense should tell you that I'm entitled to my opinion and beliefs too just like the the ignorant joker you are defending with your hypocritical rant..
Re: Lagos Government Begins Clean-up Of Waterways (Photos) by tete7000(m): 8:48pm On Oct 13, 2016
Cutting tape to clean waterways again! Nigeria drama no go kill person. Something that suppose to be a routine job regularly carried out by the department of works. It is like having a special ceremony to flag off sweeping of already commissioned house that is being inhabited. Nigerian politicians and mediocrity, only God will save us.

Common sense should tell you that you didn't make any opinion, you literally attacked him.

Water hyacinth disrupt waterways operations, disrupts waterways commerce, it destroys motorboat engines and paralyzes waterways economic activities and what you are suggesting means the state should look the other way for months while water hyacinth paralyzes the waterways, terminates economic activities and endanger human life on the waterways and even the state losing revenue via taxes on waterways commerce for months.


The state ignoring vital waterways for months is criminal, reckless, irresponsible and total abdication of responsibilities..
Re: Lagos Government Begins Clean-up Of Waterways (Photos) by solok: 9:04pm On Oct 13, 2016
Ije fun awon 'boys'
Dividend of democracy for party financiers, installers and polling agents.
Harvesting water hyacinth is a yearly must do since its emergence on our waterways in the late 80s.
Boys, Chop up!

Those Hyacinth seen as a menace is a great resource for biogas production. The cleared Hyacinth are chopped amd fed into biodigesters alongside other degradable wastes and there will be gas for cooking and power street lights at night.

Who tell you? Salinity of the lagoon kills them quickly. We locally call it Lakua.

I thought the LASG already powers streetlight from waste products. It will be nice to see this demonstrated too. Will lead to a green and energy efficient Lagos.

I agree with your points. Even reptiles like snakes comes with it. But b4 now, when it appears around this kind a time every season, salinity of the Lagoon around Feb is what always kills it

The LASG can set up biogas powered kilns for fishing communities to smoke their fish, reducing the dependence on firewood. When these communities now relate the Hyacinth as a resource they would on their own go clear and haul them in using their canoes.

If not for water transportation and biogas production as somebody pointed out here, the LASG has never touched it and Lagoon salt has always killed it. Anyway, dem just dey wake up

Yes they used to ignore because there was little or zero economic activities on the waterways, but hundreds of thousands of lagosians commutes to work and load and offload goods and services via the waterways today and the state is making IGR money off the waterways so apart from safety, there is more than enough incentives to make sure the waterways is unobstructed 24/4.

I was at the just concluded Nairobi International Trade Fair and was wowed by a firm that has stretched its minds when it comes to biogas production and utilization.
