Hmmm
Re: Flood Takes Over Major Roads In Uyo Despite Multimillion Dollar Drainage (pics) by Nobody: 8:12am On Jul 03, 2015
What meteorological data was used to design the drainage channel? Were return periods of unusual storm events taken into consideration?

Are we sure the project you call multi billion dollars drains this area as well? And how are we sure the drains are not blocked as they usually are in most Nigerian cities. There is a link between poor sanitation, waste management and flooding, especially in urban areas.

That a drainage system was designed in a city does not mean it automatically drains the whole city. Drainage networks are properly planned, designed and constructed based on watershed characteristics. Besides urban development generally comes with flooding due to increase in impervious surfaces, discharge from roof tops etc.

It might not be as simple as it looks.

[size=18pt]No amount of drainage can solve this problem....let them pray to Our Lady of Salambao the patron saint of fishermen to speak to the mermaids to stop this havoc...they should also pour pure olive oil mixed with salamander bones on the sea every month to prevent and apease the demons of the sea,those same demons that christ sent into the pigs that then ran into the oceans....st francis of assissi can also intervene to the mother of God on their behalf[/size]

Was the situation since the commissioning of the drainage canals?

The level of unprecedented rainfall which was over 100mm in 48hrs is what occasioned this flood.

Wven in the US, flooding still occurs when the levies reach their capacity.

You fool.

Nope he isn't a fool for bringing this up. If it was Lagos State, this thread would hav been flooded with different senseless comments because of what I don't know.
And beside that, we should be sentimental about serious issues. Party affiliation aside, this govts need to work, enough of excuses from them. Maybe when we start taking it to dis level, who knows, we might hav a changed politicians.

IBB dual carriageway and part of the State Secretariat complex have been submerged for days after just two days of rain. This is in spite of billions of naira spent on the so-called underground drainage system.

Leave the op to keep brainwashing gullible fools, that area does not even have any drain talkless of being connected to the drainage system.

Hopefully the new government will look into it because I heard state secretariat was flooded as well

@ OP, bros STOP lieing!! Major roads flooded!! Haba! I equally live in Uyo oh. Apart from that IBB road by the State Secretariat (totally poor drainage), where other major roads like Abak road, Four lanes, 2 Lanes, Aka road, Ofon road, Nwaniba road, and Atiku Abubakar road flooded? Even the flood at Brooke street that would've washed a care into the ravine below no longer exist.

So please stop the lies!

you are very right my brother, you have explained all

who ever made the post of the drainage gone wrong is a novice or should be a learner and should better go down low and study civil engineering or surveying.

Even the most civilized and most developed country with the best drainage system experience flood. US , London and Japan had it.
Whatever is man made is man made. Is there any country that does not experience flood? What if such a drainage system was not available in Uyo, how would Uyo look like after such rain if actually the pictures you are are showing us are real because I doubt it.
