Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra has called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency on erosion menace in the state.

The Governor made the call on Wednesday when he visited the erosion site along MINAJ Road, Obosi layout in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.

‘‘We have more than 782 erosion sites in Anambra and these pose serious threats to lives and property of the communities concerned.

‘‘As a state, we cannot handle these challenges alone and still carry on with other responsibilities.

‘‘We are appealing to the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency on erosion menace in Anambra,’’ Obiano said.

The governor, who also visited the site, ordered the IDC Constriction Ltd., to immediately commence work at the site to prevent the erosion from cutting the road.

The governor expressed regret that erosion menace had consistently posed a great problem to the people of the state.

Mr Ralph Nnabuife-Asha, the Caretaker Committee Chairman, Idemili North Local Government Area, commended the governor for his prompt intervention on the erosion at Odume layout in Obosi.

Nnabuife-Asha called on the people of the area to support the second term bid of Obiano, to enable him deliver on other numerous good works he had embarked on in the state.

Mr Emmanuel Nwobosi, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), expressed satisfaction over the love the governor had for the people of the state.

‘‘We thank Your Excellency that in spite that this incident occurred a day to the burial of your dear mother, you still find time to visit Obosi over this sad problem we recorded,’’ he said.

Earlier, Chief Chudi Nwokediuko, the President-General of Odume Obosi Central Landlords Association and Obosi Urban Landlords Association, described Obiano as “a governor who loves his people.”

He said that the community had invested more than N2 million to address the erosion menace which had killed a person and collapsed three buildings.

Anambra has calles on federal government to declare emergency for 2nd year over this matter. They should get proactive and look for funding else where. The federal government is not in hurry to solve this. What happened to the ecological fund wasn't it supposed to address such issues.

Instead of calling for the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu who is hell bent on destabilizing the elections in Anambra state, this man is talking about erosion. Nnamdi Kanu is clearly an enemy of the state and in sane countries like Russia, North Korea and China he would have been executed by the government. We urge the federal government to take out Nnamdi Kanu and watch the biafra agitations die a natural death. All my igbo friends prefer one Nigeria. Sane and patriotic igbo's hate kanu and will never be part of his madness. Elections will hold in Anambra and the entire south east. The army will be glad to use IPOB rebels for target practice. Biafra is dead in 1970. It shall never rise again

How will the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu in far away Abia State stop skull mining, Baddo terrorism, Oba Yahoo yahoos, rituals, kidnapping, prostitution, 419,robbery, adultery, rape, defiling of minors, cultism, hard drug overdose to mention a few in yorubaland?

You're obviously drunk sleep it off then try stick to topic of thread. Everything you said is garbage on so many levels. First you don't embolden the movement by making their supreme leader a martyr. Your example of sane countries shows you obviously like authoritarian societies. The governor already said they will arrest anyone who violently stops election.

The government already messed up giving the movement so much attention. He obviously doesn't force anyone to obey him. During sit in police came out to condemn him. He's already under trial all they need to do is win case, if they don't they are morons.

Saki: Living in fear of Nigeria’s biggest earthquake

Professor of Applied Geophysics with the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Adekunle Adepelumi, distinguished between a tremor and an earthquake.

He explained that tremors are measured on a scale of one to 10.

“It is just like determining the extent of cancer in a patient; when it reaches 10, it is terminal. Likewise, when a tremor happens, we determine its intensity; how strong the earthquake is. When it is between one and five, the intensity of the seismic activity on the earth surface is not so severe, so we classify it as a tremor.

“But once the intensity is greater than five, it is an earthquake. As for the one that happened (in Saki), I placed it at 2.3”

Explaining further, the professor said the earth tremors witnessed in Saki occurred in the Atlantic Ocean.

“The force under the Atlantic Ocean was then propagated to Saki, Lagos State, and some parts of Abeokuta, Ogun State, which I confirmed. Now, the same thing has been experienced in Kaduna State (northern Nigerian); also in Bayelsa State (South-South) on June 26 and July 24,” the geologist noted.

‘‘We have more than 782 erosion sites in Anambra and these pose serious threats to lives and property of the communities concerned.

Chisos! !

Coming from flood region.

Flood is everywhere from west to niger to east
But gully is only in south east

More reason, why we must all boycott the election to have our country.
It's only break up of this failed stagnant entity that will give solution to any problem children of God are facing
Fed govt will never listen to you, if you like cry from morning till night.

THEY WILL NOT LISTEN YOU.!!

God bless the land of rising sun
God bless children of God
God punish skull miners.

Was it not in Osun, the second skull mining capital of Nigeria after Ogun that erosion carried away lands and bridges under people's foot the other day?
