Pics: Nigerian lady repairs bad street in Lekki using her own money

Media personality and Vlogger Ariyike Akinbobola did something most won't do. She repaired the bad road leading to her home after waiting endlessly for government to carry out repairs. She bought broken blocks and sand and poured it on the road - which is usually flooded after heavy downpour - to make it motorable. What the street looks like before (left) and what it looks like now (right). Well done to her. More photos after the cut...

    She should be made governor of Lagos. This is the kind of human being we need in Naija. And she's beautiful too. Choi. Sexy thing, you do well. I can't stop being happy for what this woman did.

    Nice but the road needed a drainage much more than the sandfilling. An earth drainage I.e just excavation would be better

    The problem with most island residents is that they are live for themselves. I don't see why streets cannot task themselves to make their roads motorable. They pay huge zonal levies. What a he heck do they zones use them for? That is what is killing all of them over there. You will see very fine structures but no access roads. Everyone feels driving keeps will save them from the road problems. Day never break sef. Very soon, the cars will not see roads to enter sef. That's where Magodo residents better pass this areas. Their money works for them. Money miss road individuals. At least this one here know sey Na road she for hang of nothing is done. Meanwhile she will do it and other motorists will drive with ease on it.
