There should be a permanent solution to this. This should be used as project topic or assignment in our prestigious institutions. I’m sure our intelligent students and lecturers/ prof will come up with a viable solution 1 Like |

The also need to replace all the stolen manholes in Marina and Ikoyi. And to end the practice there needs to be undercover police paroling those areas to make it much less easy for criminals to steal them in the first place. |

Those manhole covers are made of heavy iron which will cost a lot because what they sell are weighed and priced. But risking people's lives for money? Anybody caught buying and selling such items deserves to be arrested and jailed for life. They're murderes in the making 1 Like 2 Shares |

I notice some manhole covers in my area are missing for about a year now. Now i understand what happened to them. People are just useless. Later they will be blaming the government for their misfortunes. 1 Like |

The Police know the thieves. Every Lagosian know them, even Sanwo-Olu know them. Sorry to sound tribal, the aboki's from the north are the culprits. They go about pillaging every road manhole, bridge railings and street light metals they could find. It's seems as if they source their daily bread from destroying government infrastructures at night. If 10 or 30 are used as scapegoats for a start, like sent to Kirikiri. You'll definitely see a reduction in the metal scrape thieves. |

[quote author=naptu2 post=86257012][/quote]What is the primary objective of a government to its citizens? Provide good roads Electricity Pipe bone water At least these three basic amenities. That Nigeria stu.pid government is not living to its expectation doesn't mean they should be applauded when they do what they are suppose to do. They other day, a whole man said to me when we where discussing about a very bad road - that the government have not fixed the road because it doesn't yield any economic value to them. I weep on the man's nativity that day and 89% of Nigerians share this same view. So govt. now need an incentive to perform it's primary obligations to its citizens ba? They can't fix the road because of thousand of people living in that area ba? How value of live have depreciated in this country. |

bumi10:Exactly what I said! This shows that you did not read the post, but instead you are reacting to the headline! READ THE POST! Read the post and show me where anybody is applauding the government. We are discussing a serious issue that has killed people and you are talking about applauding the government and trying to politicise the issue?? It's sickening! Read the post and understand what the thread is about!!! |

I took these pictures around 5 o’clock this morning, just so that you can understand what I’m talking about. This manhole is at the Alexander Avenue Roundabout in Ikoyi. It is at the end of the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge. This is the manhole that a jogger fell into. He was a middle aged man and he was jogging in front of me. Apparently he did not see the manhole (the tyres in the manhole were a lot lower at that time) and he stepped on the tyre and went down. Luckily he didn’t fall all the way in and I and some other people had to help him up. www.nairaland.com/attachments/10991350_20200204053115_jpegc61951982ce68f8152d75d4792c356dc This is another manhole at the same roundabout. My apologies for the quality of the picture, I hadn’t stopped moving at the time that the picture was taken. All the manholes at the roundabout are like this (their covers have been stolen). www.nairaland.com/attachments/10991352_20200204053254_jpegdc645a3a7f265a600a4efb0ca9e5c0c3 This manhole is right at the beginning of the bridge (just a short distance from the other manholes above). I suspect that the thieves are afraid to steal this manhole cover because it is right in front of the RRS point (there are policemen and an armoured personnel carrier right beside this sidewalk). There are also CCTV cameras on the bridge. This is the same kind of manhole cover that was stolen from the manholes at the Alexander Avenue Roundabout. www.nairaland.com/attachments/10991357_20200204053407_jpegb6dd08473d7d831880b764aae3c8fa8c This is a concrete manhole cover. All the manholes that are on the bridge have concrete manhole covers. Another reason that these covers have not been stolen is that there are policemen and CCTV cameras on the bridge. www.nairaland.com/attachments/10991360_20200204054302_jpeg33c591e3f2fd754e9e0ddf75210dc8f7 This is a manhole on Admiralty Way on the Lekki side of the bridge. It is 70% concrete and 30% metal and it has not been stolen (probably because there is another RRS point nearby. www.nairaland.com/attachments/10991363_20200204055029_jpeg4dc6d2864b0211ea9768a30b7b834527 You can also see that the railings on the bridge are made of concrete. This is because of the terrible experience that the government had with the 3rd Mainland, Eko and Carter bridges. Vandals stole the metal railings of those bridges regularly. www.nairaland.com/attachments/10991364_20200204054429_jpeg83bddccb3171043f17a1d9b28c436a08 3 Likes 2 Shares |
