People say Calabar is clean, never believed it until i saw this pic.

If it were to be Lagos or Aba flood, you would have seen dirts floating or a lot on the both sides of the road.

But this road lacks any form of drainage system though.
Shut up!

No drainage system in place. This country sef, and d worst part is that the new roads being constructed r not even properly planned as per drainages.

Guy you can count on your hands how many untarred roads are in Calabar.

The drainage there is also very good.

This was a torrential downpour that led to this flash flood.

Calabar ranks second to Eket in annual rainfall totals in Nigeria.

Calabar is not Osogbo and whatever flooding you see is not as a result of blocked drains but heavy torrential rainfall that can reach up to 90mm in 24hrs.

So stop your hate.

The drainages are not clogged it is just very heavy rainfall in less than 5mins after the rain the roads are usually fully cleared of the water...
