When Gutter Becomes the Safer Routes

In Nigeria and in the social media, we only talk about the picture below in jest, but not as an issue deserving urgent questions and answers. The Contractor who executed this project and many others like this was paid. And there is the likelihood that he was also awarded more road construction contracts after this very one. He would repeat the same process over and over again, enriching himself, the Commissioner of Works and the Supervising and Monitoring Agents from the Ministry of Works. That is Nigeria for you.
We are making a few contractors wealthy and richer in values that are not commensurate with the values of their efforts and benefits that they confer on us. I will not theorize the solution or answer, but I will showcase the answer or solution with examples tomorrow. I did not take any engineering class, so I won't be able to use the right terms to explain the process. It is about commonsense. And I know what works.

NAIJA MUST WORK AGAIN.

In Nigeria everything is abnormal. Can you imagine, gutter is now the road while the road is now the gutter.
