Pedestrian arguments like this tire me bcos it plays into the hands of a government that’s not interested in fixing anything. Lack of Dirt or trash isn’t the reason why Netherlands does not flood! I don’t know why we keep going back to this topic!
The reason Amsterdam doesn’t flood is bcos of billions of dollars investment in world class flood protection engineering & technology.
Also Dubai floods every year too and Dubai isn’t dirty but they have terrible flood protection systems which they are currently investing billions of dollars building proper sewage reticulation systems, flood detentions systems, flood gates and levees, etc to fix the flood problems! Few years from now when flooding becomes a thing of history in Dubai you’ll be here still blaming Lagos’s dirtiness which is still a problem caused by inadequate government infrastructure for it.
Have you also ever asked yourself why no matter how badly Lagos floods, Eko Atlantic is NEVER flooded? The simple reason is bcos the private company that built & owns Eko Atlantic engaged the same Dutch engineers that designed the flood protection systems in the Netherlands to design that of Eko Atlantic!
Even if there’s no single trash in Lagos, Lagos will still be flooded every rainy season! Until we spend money on building flood protection infrastructure. Check out this video, to understand why the Netherlands doesn’t flood.

I’m an exceptional global UK talent.
That’s equivalent to expatriates in NG.
I visited my school for MA enrolment and the enrolment officer said “you’re on a talent visa not student? Wow, we are honoured to have you in our country.”
Nothing about me is average by God’s grace.
I've recruited an entire team twice in the past 3 years, and I've also consulted for founders on the continent looking for high quality affordable talent. It's very well known across Africa and beyond that if you're looking for high quality African talent that will work like their life depends on it and won't cost an arm and a leg, you go to Nigeria.
Nigeria lacks lots of things, but qualified, talented people who are ready to work their ass off are not among them. I've seen it first hand. Except you're looking for an astronaut, there is literally no vacancy you cannot fill in Nigeria. Anyone who says they "couldn't fill job openings" in Nigeria is a bloody liar.
It's simply not true and there's nothing to argue about.
