Nigerian Lawyer celebrates Potholes that keeps expanding with Soda
A concerned Nigerian citizen recently took members of the internet community by surprise with his rather ingenious method of calling the attention of the authorities to some expansive potholes in the Ikeja area of Lagos state.
The man identified as Adedunmade who is also a lawyer by profession shared a series of photos on popular microblogging platform, Twitter, in which the potholes were captured alongside some plastic bottles of cola beverages paced by their edges.
Sharing the post, Adedunmade called on his followers to join him in celebrating the lives of the three large dents on the road.
“Please join me in celebrating the life of these 3 wonderful pot holes in front of Zenith Bank, Kudirat Abiola Way, Alausa, Ikeja. They keep getting bigger and deeper everyday,”he said.
See his tweet below:

potholes that you can count is that one pothole? there are several roads across the state that has been reduced to one lane due to its bad nature. I guess those one would deserve 'Trophy' not 'coke'

So sad. Unfortunately if this is what it takes to remove the veil/plug from eyes/ears of sanwo-olu and his "formidable" team and gingers them to address the bad and worsening state of roads all over Lagos,then it's worth it. Mr Governor has been all talk no action over this issue

Zenith bank pays tax(es). What is their business with bad and deplorable roads condition? Let's wait until it becomes a fish pond perhaps @followlasg will reconsider and take it up
