What is happening on the Lokoja Abuja road is just terrible. Since thursday the road was overtaken by the river. And the river Niger empties into the atlantic after passing through some states in the south like Anambra Rivers and Bayelsa these waters in kogi today are heading there. The respective governments should warn and evacuate those who are living near the water course to avert certain disaster in the coming weeks 2 Likes |

A road already submerged in water from river Niger in Lokoja. This picture was taken early last week so I can imagine how worse it has gone now.

binger: that is gonna be a hek of a long,tedious journey 4 commuters and travellers.lyk som1 said,this didn't happn overnight and shud hav been preventd...what a govt!How would the govt have held the river from overflowing in the face of an unprecedented level of rains this year? Maybe they cud have appeased the goddess of the river, no? 'The flooding didnt happen overnight and shld hv been prevented' .well you may be right- it was a well planned move(collaboration) by the govt and that powerful goddess of the river, in order to 'punish' the ppl of that area(it is certainly a possibility dese days)...*i laugh* at d way sm ppl reason |

Left for abuja from Benin city yesterday and it took us approximately 14hrs(10.00am sunday to 2.30am monday) to get to abuja via markudi/lafia route and the road from Markudi to Keffi through Akatanga is a death trap because the numerous sharp bends will and surely claim lives when it gets busy. Thank God for a safe trip. Will have to book a flight when am done with what I came to do here. |

It is Akwanga and not Akatanga. And please tell us the state of the road: are they potholes or car swallowing gullies on that road? |
