Floods In Ibadan Again by citizenisb: 9:54pm On Jul 15, 2012 |
For the second time in less than a year, Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State witnessed a disastrous flood. Many parts of the city were affected by the flood which caused extensive damage. Incidentally, most of the parts that were affected by the August 26, 2011 flood also bore the brunt of the latest flood. http://thestreetjournal.org/2012/07/flood-sweeps-ibadan-again/ |

I learnt there was an Heavy Rain in Ibadan Yesterday that caused another flood τ̲̅ȍ †ђξ City. Less we forget, is not up to ∕̴Ɩ year we experience such in the city where lives and millions of Properties were loss. Some days after the Governor of the state commissioned a temporary bridge in Apate and some material was given out to some affected victims. Thanks to different Agencies,NGOs, Philanthropy that come to our Aids in the state by donating Relieved materials to the Victims and lots of fund among which is a sum of N60million donated by Aligo Danagote which was made public. As at that time Ecology Fund came in to the state. And all this fund was given on behalf of the people that lost their life. Great People of Oyo state the question now is what has our government done with all this money. The temporary bridge in Apate has being damage long time ago and washed away by yesterday rain. Am sure if they spend the money wisely yesterday flood will be minimal. We are using this medium to call on the Government of the state to raise up to these and other challenges to as to move Oyo state forward. God bless us all. |

Demdem: To be honest, Ajimobi should wake up. So he brought the flood abi? Or do you want him to perform miracle to stop flood immediately? Have you ever asked what the previously govt have done in the past 8 years in that state? Have u been to that state recently and asked yourself what the previous govt achieved in the past? 3 Likes |

yemmight: Agreed, the problem didnt originate from him, however what has he done so far for these re-occuring floods. we all know there are floods also in lagos and the efforts fashola and his commissioners are putting in but for Oyo things seems to be quiet of recent. the governor and his people should come out and educate us on what he has done so far and what he is currently doing. The problem simply cant vanish in a day, its a process that must commence somehow. forget bleaching Akala, he is gone for good. Lets hold these current ones accountable for now. |

yemmight:I am presently looking at the Lautech Teaching Hospital where the stupie,lavish,old fool former governor and his cohorts spent 50 billion naira. Akala ,his party(PDP) and his locally employed contractors have drained the state of her resources even before the advent of this new government. I just dont know the reason we want a particular situation to change overnight. Am not in support of bad governance but I think we should give the present government a chance to exhibit its potentiality and some would say when? And pls dont start the comparism of Lagos and Ibadan. Before anyone crucifys me, I am not a politician but just a concern indigen of this state. 1 Like |

People should take good note of a state like Akwa Ibom and recognise why there are no floods there. I cannot understand how an inland state like Oyo with its hills gets flooded every year when Niger Delta states that are practically at sea level and surrounded by water don't. In a place like Warri, it rains for 8 or more months in the year, and it can rain for days on end. 1 Like |

Re: Floods In Ibadan Again by Kobojunkie: 11:58am On Jul 16, 2012 |
yemmight: Stop with the lame-brained excuses. Yes, inherited a state with no serious drainage system in place but it does not take 10 years to build a functioning drainage system. Any serious government can do that in less than a year. Considering he knew of this problem before resuming office, one would expect he gets to solving it immediately . .. hit the ground running essentially. And please do not follow this up with more brain-fart about how there is no money . . . many of these states are able to take out loans to get work done, and I see no reason why any new Governor should not have a good plan on how to deal with problems, even like this one, already. |

Let God help the present government it seems as if it lacks sense of direction. The government has already marked some structures for demolition but have they carried it out? Are they afraid or taking money (not bribe like Farouk Lawan)at the expense of the masses. I beg, they say prevention is better than cure, let's do the right thing at the right time.

Kobojunkie: For a long time that i have known you here, you way has always been upside down, so i am used to it. Sometimes i wonder if you walk using your head. Even battling drainage since Tinubu era has not resolved the problem but WIP. So for you, one year is enough to handle drainage in a State like Oyo? i dont even know the planet you presently occupying but if you are close to your homeland, you should be precise in reasoning. I was in Ibadan last weekend and i can clearly see the difference btw Kobojunkle, Akala and Ajimobi. Two weekends ago, I was also in Ogun State and i saw massive construction of road network with good drainage and i can easily compare Kobojunkle, Gbenga Daniel and Amosun. 1 Like |
Re: Floods In Ibadan Again by DEngineer(m): 1:29pm On Jul 16, 2012 |
i saw up there some posters claim Apete bridge was repaired, thats a LIE, i was at Apete last week and there was nothing done yet there, a wooden makeshift bridge was made for people to walk on, and a very old bulldozer as a camouflag, with a small hose drawing water from the site to show they r working, with TSG or sumtin as the name of the contractor, honestly the new government dint start the situation in the state but why will such delicate contract be awarded to a company whose name we havent heard and have no record of such big contract in their portfolio... Ajimobi should not dissapoint the people cuz while in lagos, i saw how massively the people of oyo state rallied to ensure he gets to the office, he should not sit down abi slumber while flood destroys the citizens. He cant't solve all the problems but y give such massive job to quacks. i wish i had the chance to take picture of last week rain and flood at SAWMILL area of Old Ife road in ibadan, a stubborn okada man and his rider were swept into the canal by the high current flood. i managed to pass with prayers cuz the current was too strong, imagine the state of our Country. |

Re: Floods In Ibadan Again by Beaf: 2:16pm On Jul 16, 2012 |
Beaf: People should take good note of a state like Akwa Ibom and recognise why there are no floods there. Again, I will ask how this can be occurring in Ibadan every few months? It isn't even in the Niger delta where the most rainfall is recorded and where the land is always wet. Lets just agree that the Oyo state government is a huge failure. |

agitator: Why should I engage with an agitator? Recently, I have noticed that more than 60% of posters like this on NL are underage that don't even know the Governors or party chairmen names so how do you want such pple to contribute in this section? Some of you are still doing part-time job and part-time programs in School. |
