At least, 13 family homes and properties, worth millions of naira, have been swallowed up in a gorge[b] measuring about three hundred metres deep and 300m wide,[/b] in Amachalla village, Awka, the Anambra State capital.

What Dhar hell  . .  i need to see the pics to believe this outrageous gully . . . This is what happens when ecological funds meant to tackle environmental issues are designated as one of  those cool stash of national cake to be devoured without trace and waring eyes  . . . A high population of Anambra citizens might just wake up one day to find out that they are [b]X [/b]meters buried underground . . . The incessant gully is a devastating disaster waiting to happen

haha how was your sunday brother, hope it was good

na  i am not blaming jonathan here. all i am saying is that he has a lot of job to do as the president

you see, he needs to act and not seat in aso rock as i am made to believe by his inactions

Right from the days of OBJ . .Serious Billions of naira have been voted as ecological disaster funds for the SE states . . .It appears they took it as their own . .  13 % derivation funds ala Niger Delta states   . . They need to start probing where all those funds disappear into . . while those menacing gullies keep gaining territorial grounds  . .further compounding the problem

Meanwhile . .My Sunday was tight . .  safe from the menace of Poseidon current siege in Lagos

I read somewhere that this erosion in Igboland can be traced to the days of the palm oil trade. Seems like that plant will continue to impact us, since is loosened our soil.

brother, with the pictures i just saw on the internet and my stay in anambra, i can assume that the erosion has to do with the topography and the geographical location of the SE and not just anambra but also enugu abia and imo

found out that there are highlands in the cross river, benue areas and because of that the land in benue, cross river are hard

but when going down, the water is meet with lose clay soil of those state and the rushing water can easy eat up the soil slowly

and as u righly said, the palm oil plantation could also have loosen up the soil more

SOLUTION

i think sand and rock filling would be a cheap and effective way of going about it

what do u think

EzeUche:

You may be right. I do not know, because I do not know much about soil topography or agriculture.

Rhino.5dm:

Is like Oduduwa has replied those jubilating over Lagos flood. One good turn deserve another. . .Karma is a byytch!

ekt_bear:

Maybe so. But I think in situations like this, it behooves us to take the high road. NL sh1ttalking is one thing, actual loss of life/homes/etc is another.

aloy/emeka:

Earth quake in Igboland. na waoh.

alj_harem:

how is it earthquake 

Negro_Ntns:

Are there loss of lives?

Hmm, Desola, are you namfav?

aloy/emeka:

Almost an earthquake na.

alj_harem:

this are some of the[b] problems jonathan needs to tackle as well as the flooding in lagos and kano
[/b]
some people would say it is the job of the governor but that is a big lie. the job is welfare and not natural disaster

jonathan please wake up. enff said
