So they should buy live birds and throw them in the open waters to be feeding on hyacinth ,abi
Do you know the amount of hyacinth we are talking about ?
What about the logistics of moving the birds from one place to another? Did you bother to think about the maintenance cost of keeping alive live birds?

Well done just kwantinue
do you know how many million potential farmers live on lagoon with hungry underfed chudren

Geese eat water hyacinth, but they can not eat and eliminate the large amount of water hyacinth in our waters, Lagos state is doing exactly what they do in advanced countries.
What we should be doing is turning the removed hyacinth into feedstock and or biofuel.

Have you seen the cost of the purchased machine, which is exactly how transparent governments are in advanced countries?
Do advanced countries buy machines from Nigeria, which they don’t have adequate pool of engineers who developed it to understand its mechanics for future improvement and adequate number of technicians who can maintain it?
Where are similarly expensive machines bought by Tinubu, Fashola and other Nigerian governors since our independence in 1960
Do advanced countries have the same level of unemployment as Nigeria?

I agree bro, raising geese will turn some hungry mofos to hunters and in days all the geese are gone, resting in some pots of soup

Do you mean that this is another fraud by Ambode?
Always claiming new purchase and stealing billions from Lagosians for items already bought by Fashola.
He did it for helicopters, CCTVs and even the Lekki tolls concession.

Yes fact is all his projects does not justify the amount the state is spending. For crying out loud we have a budget of almost a trillion naira and what do we have to show for it. Just bus stops, one or two over bridges, few pedestrian bridges and poorly tarred roads. Meanwhile we are battling with enormous refuse everywhere and brt reduction of road lanes causing us heavy traffic.
He's just over hyped

Yes. Unfortunately, for efficiency, it has to be that way. Of course some other jobs are created in the process.

if lagosian lagoon dwellers start goose poultry business there won't be enough hyacinth within a short time.millions of geese.
advanced countries do not have poverty problem,protein problem,unemployment problem or corruption and lack of maitenance culture problem
mark my words they will not clear the weed

You want to flood all of the waterways with geese How many are we talking about exactly? Have ou considered what would happen when dead geese start floating everywhere on the lagoon cos of careless boat drivers? Or how to handle the issue of a large population of birds falling ill on the water bodies?

Poverty is a disease becos it also affect the brain and reduce the ability for someone to think proper. Now, if the sea is dirty and some waste product such as plastic, nylon etc are not cleared from the sea, it affects the aquatic life, which in turns affect Human becos we feed on Fishes.

Someone suggested govt. should employ geese instead of the machine. And I tell you put one million geese on the water, in a few months those unpatriotic rogues in Nigeria will hunt them all.

Yahaya Bello of Kogi should liaise with Governor Ambode to get such a machine for the rivers in Lokoja which are eyesores because of water hyacinths
At least the water can be harnessed for irrigation thereafter

You want to flood all of the waterways with geese? have farms been flooded with cows and goats,chickens and grasscuters
yet they effectively keep farmers awake
How many are we talking about exactly? as many as will take to clear the weed
can be raised by households who now have incentive to harvest the plant without costing 'taxpayers' a dime
Have ou considered what would happen when dead geese start floating everywhere on the lagoon cos of careless boat drivers? what boat drivers
shebi they said hyacinth was hooking their propellers
besides i have never seen propeller boats where there is hyacinth or hyacinth wher ther is propeller boats
also how many stray wandering chickens per capita are crushed by cars on our roads
Or how to handle the issue of a large population of birds falling ill on the water bodies?
what will make them sick when food is so abundant that they are not overcrowded
or how many local free range fowl do you see falling sick
its always the densely caged ones
