Many feared dead, properties destroyed in Ibadan flood


A six-hour rain pounded the city of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Friday destroying properties worth several hundreds of millions of naira.

Scores of people, including children, were also reportedly killed by the flood generated across several areas of the city.

While many vehicles were sub merged in the flood, many families were displaced. The flood wrecked havoc most at Onipepeye section of Old Ife Rd, Oke Ayo, Yemetu, Bodija Estate, Olomi, Eleyele, Apete and Odo Ona-Elewe.

The downpour, which started around 5pm, also triggered traffic snarls in virtually all major areas of the city. The traffic lasted till 1am when travellers managed to navigate through Iwo road, Old Ife Road and Oyo Road.

The Deputy Governor of the state, Chief Moses Alake-Adeyemo went round the affected spots yesterday and pledged a quick response to the catastrophe.

The rain that fell from Friday evening till the early hours of Saturday left sorrow and tears and losses in its trail. Scores of people were reportedly swept away by the resultant flood while a lot of houses have collapsed.


With the collapse of the bridge linking the Awotan-Apete axis to the remaining part of Ibadan, the area seems to have been cut off. Same goes for the Oluyole Estate extension area. The bridge at Oluyole extension too gave way cutting the extension area off from the other part of the industrial estate. That apparently resulted from the overflowing of the stream over which the bridge passed. Electricity poles littered the ground on Alaafin Avenue while the intensity of the flood seemed to be greater in the neighbouring Oke Ayo area. One of the residents of the Oke Ayo who spoke to Street said “we have been outside since midnight, a section of our house has collapsed, the remaining part is shaking and it can collapse anytime.” While lamenting her family’s new state of homelessness, the lady also disclosed that one of her neighbours tried to wade through the flood with her two children and grandchildren, she disclosed that as at then, they had not been accounted for.



Odo Ona, on Apata Road seemed to be worse than Oke Ayo as many buildings were completely covered by water. A number of people were also reportedly lost to the flood. The damage done to the road also caused traffic jams all around the area.

Some Polytechnic Ibadan students who spoke to Street Journal disclosed that they escaped being swept away just by a stroke of luck. One of them disclosed that the Apete Bridge collapsed less than a minute after they passed. One of them even confirmed that there were about ten people on the bridge when it fell and till now, none of them has been found.

In Odo Ona Elewe, it was reported that some people had to climb trees to escape the flood.

A trip round Ibadan showed that from Iwo Road to Challenge, Oluyole Estate, Eleyele, Odo Ona and Apata, people are still counting their losses

alj_harem:

Kobojunkie:

You better remove that laughing gif  before you get a serious lyrical beatdown you will never forget - f.u.cking a.s.s.h.oel!

Kobojunkie:

This from a major (see highlighted) whose family must be full of them (see highlighted) for you to think you everyone else is like em(see highlighted).

Yes, don't focus on those who voted the man in -- attack me . . . I am the one RESPONSIBLE for the dead you PRETEND to be concerned about . . . ROFLMAO!!! And you are meant to be one of the so-called educated youths of that country. ROFLMAO!!

coogar:

kobojunkie, that laugh was uncalled for.
if any member of your family was washed away by the flood, i doubt you would be here rolling on the floor at the expense of other people's miseries.
sometimes i think you don't function with a brain at all. laughing at the death of young children is a new depth of idiocy from you.

keep it up!

alj_harem:

na wa o hope the governor would something about this when he gets back

but really, this is another avoidable incident

Kobojunkie:

You know what . . .  make sure you function with a brain yourself before you go checking if others do.

So because you are in MOURNING(not like you are not one of those who continue to ALLOW all this continue in the first place) does not mean we should all be in pretend gloomy mode with you. See mor-onic reasoning for pete's sake!!!  Now run along and go fix yourself up a brain before you loose what you have there holding you up temporarily!

coogar:

you are a consummate tool.


you have not addressed my hypothesis. . . .
if your father was among the victims washed away by the flood, would you not be in a gloomy mode as we speak?
you obdurate w@nker? why do you always roll on the floor laughing? are you spineless?
as old as you are - all you do is roll on the floor like a cretinous vermin high on opiates. . . . .if you marry a tool like you, you will produce airheads.

. . .  make sure you function with a brain yourself before you go checking if others do.

So because you are in MOURNING(not like you are not one of those who continue to ALLOW all this continue in the first place) does not mean we should all be in pretend gloomy mode with you. See mor-onic reasoning for pete's sake!!!  Now run along and go fix yourself up a brain before you loose what you have there holding you up temporarily!

Kobojunkie:

That your father/mother probably called you a (insert above highlighted), does not then mean everyone else is like you
Like I had on here earlier 

. . .  make sure you function with a brain yourself before you go checking if others do.

So because you are in MOURNING(not like you are not one of those who continue to ALLOW all this continue in the first place) does not mean we should all be in pretend gloomy mode with you. See mor-onic reasoning for pete's sake!!!  Now run along and go fix yourself up a brain before you loose what you have there holding you up temporarily!

P.S: At least 20 people die somewhere around the world each second . . . . . unless you are going to tell me next that you exist in a constant state of gloominess as a result, I suggest again, you go go get your brain wherever you dropped it!

Kobojunkie:

Hurricane in Oyo State?

Back to discussion before the many attempts to introduce the ridiculous  . . . .
