Will Wonders Never Cease?
The very first aqueduct built by the Romans proves not only their ingenuity, but also their power, intelligence, and skills. They were able to build the Aqua Appia using simple tools that and almost exact math.
The Aqua Appia gave the world one of the best things: running water. Hygienic and necessary for life, running water was used to make drainage systems and lead to a healthier population. This vital need is given to us today by every developed country.
In fact, in order for a country to become developed, a drainage system is needed. That's why countries like Nigeria are so impoverished. Among other reasons, they Nigerians have, in some places along their coast, have forgotten a very important rule: don't poop where your water is.
The lack of sewers and running water, aided by shanty towns, corruption, drugs, and prostitution, has held Nigeria down. Nigeria has ample resources, but she's not able to use them because of these factors. Having her population poisoned by fecal-borne bacteria and viruses helps even less.
The UN seems to lack the understanding that sewers are a vital, necessary thing. Instead, they let the population to defecate on the public beaches, causing the sea shore to become disgusting and unusable, the water rank, and the people diseased. Step it up, UN. If the Romans were able to build monumental works of infrastructure without cement and machinery, then you definitely can.
