You don't follow the news.

Just last month there was serious flooding in Accra which lead to multiple deaths.

Flooding happens everywhere - 6 weeks back I got a message from my friend in Oklahoma that he was stuck due to flooding.

ideologies:

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

I keep seeing pictures of IBB road/state secretariat complex area whereas, there was no underground pipe jacking system there. Let the op post a photo of Oron road, uruan street, nwaniba axis then we can decide if the underground pipe jacking system is a fail project or not.

that was a natural disaster, this one is clearly bad governance

ideologies:

Anambra state

I hope the stadium wont collapse aswell o

This is child's play to Lagos own ooo

Op there is no underground drainage system in IBB way. get. Ur facts right before u post pls. Downpour of rain in extremely much.

Problem is when people throw refuse into the drains as rain falls, No amount of drainage or technology can cope with such uncivilised habits because sooner or later the drains get blocked. Akpabio in such instance is not responsible for that, the people are. Not every problem in Nigeria is down to government officials. Truth be told, Ordinary citizens too have their own issues.

Mind you, you are not at liberty to spew trash anyhow besides, why justify a wrong with another? Should we even experience flood in any State if the government are up and doing and the masses avoid dumping refuse in gutters ?

Why compare Lagos with Calabar? You can only do this if the two states have the same things in common, then your comparison would be devoid of bias.

liberty300:
what's so funny? @least this place still looks cleaner than lagos after a flood

do u even know where the stadium is situated?

oyindare:
do u know what a drainage system is?

You that know what a drainage system is would not make such an un imaginable comment. That is if you actually know what a drainage system is and if you know where the drainage system in question in Uyo covers

I also experience this during my NYSC days in Uyo, it could be frustrating sometimes because you will have to sometimes go through Israelite journey in other to avoid this temporary river. Akwa Ibom! Ayaya!

liberty300:

Exactly.

100 times cleaner.

Ucheosefoh:
Uyo people have been scammed

really. Come to uyo and u will hate anambra.

Should people fight over everything?

Modified* The flooding that occurred in Ghana then was a natural disaster!
This one one in uyo is as a result of Bad Governance!

You are a gimp,natural disaster kor,bad drainage ni.look i lost a friend on that ghana disaster..better use your head

This is very sad. When shall we harp on MAINTENANCE by relevant government agencies

dabriggs:

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.

Thanks for bringing the statistics/data angle up.
That is something we have generally relegated to the background in the last decades as we glorify physical development and excess money to our politicians over HUMAN CAPITAL and knowledge base development.

Civilisation comes by education of ALL citizens done by government...............so draw your conclusion accordingly.
Thanks.

igbos living in uyo are healthier, happier, most of them are building houses and buying properties.

Ask them y, they will tell you their governors are not performing, they are breathing in good air, clean environment, friendly people and their businesses are booming

Oron road is equally a no go area for students and teachers due to flood.

I am comfortable in my state because we are rich in human capital lots of business going on here, despite the low allocation we get annually our governor is not owning salaries like your governor and he even increase it to 15 percent. Education we top, healthcare we are among the top, good inter community roads are all good, business we are among the top so what else will I leave the state for, when the standards of living is high. Bro enjoy your state I am comfortable here just don't forget to hold your former governor accountable for this scam. I wish you guys all the best.

Despite all the money spent on the project!!!

ocelot2006:
@ 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!

Atiku abubakar way is equally ravaged by flood.
