Erosion Damages Rail Tracks In Ilorin, South East Nigeria by Collynzo29: 3:13pm On Oct 19, 2014

Erosion damages rail tracks in Ilorin, cripples train services The manager identified areas where the rail tracks were mostly affected to include Ila market, Ogbondoroko site in Asa Local Government Area, Unity Road Junction and Agric area. Gbadamosi added that the damaged tracks had crippled train services during the recent Eid-el-Kabir festival regarded as the corporation’s peak period. “The most catastrophic is the Unity Road junction although there are pockets of minor ones, but the major one is that of Unity junction,” he said. Gbadamosi, however, assured the public that train services would soon be restored. He also accused the state government of not providing the right drainage system, especially during the rainy season. “This is becoming a regular phenomenon created by the state government. “It is government’s responsibility to provide appropriate drainage to accommodate the volume of storm water, considering the topography of the affected areas,” he said. Gbadamosi appealed to the state government to provide appropriate drainage system in the affected locations to accommodate the volume of storm water during rainfall. He said the corporation had been battling in the last two weeks with the restoration of the tracks in order to link the Northern and Southern part of the country to ensure effective train services. Gbadamosi said the corporation was committed to providing efficient, effective, safe and reliable train services in the country. (NAN)

The useless mod used the excuse of pictures being posted to hide the other thread so that people wouldn't know about the erosion ravaging Yoruba land (albeit a Fulani colony)

Any body that has not been to Yoruba land will think that their shanties is free from erosion, I use to think that nanka has the biggest erosion site till I visit Ogun state.



They are now playing the ostrich game while we are reclaiming our lands from erosion, they will be crying in the next decade on how Igbos cheat them and swindle the intervention fund that was made for erosion land in the south.



Edo people are speaking up and they are getting the required attention but Yoruba people are now pretending that all is well.

lol know something? it is out of the desperation of having nothing they can hold on to as evidence that they are boss over "Igbos" that they fall back on mother nature treating them "kindly" and south east, badly...

but the joke is still on them because they say:

- south east is landlocked...

- south east is erosion-ravaged...

-south east has red soil...

- south east is cursed...

(and the funniest one I'd heard... )

- south east is small (-er than Ibadan)

um... okay??
is that why you take a dump in the ocean? (and randomly on the streets?) - because you are not land locked?

and if mother nature decides to wash away top soil in the south east, ut wash away and kill human beings in the south west (as waste, pun intended!), how are you, a SWner able to point out erosion in the east?

and if soil is red and dry... well, we are black and strong! duh! lol (cant't believe I said that - "duh" to Nigerians lol)

and the curse? who cursed south east? and what is the curse? that its people will die of flooding every year?

and those that brag of land mass... its just one of the most hilarious things coming from their brains that I've heard!

you have big land but don't know what to do with it? don't wolly, we'll come and show you heheh..
