For the people of Oba-Akoko and Ikun-Akoko in the northern senatorial district of Ondo State, they never had the premonition that the midnight’s heavy downpour would cost them to be “miles” apart despite sharing boundaries.

Residents of the two communities woke to see that the only bridge connecting them has been wash off by the midnight downpour which lasted for hours.

With this development, it is now a compulsory task for members of the affected communities to go through a longer route if they plan to travel to other parts of the senatorial district, instead of a journey which usually last some minutes before the collapse of the bridge.

The development has caused confusion in the Akoko and Ose local government axis of the state as prospective travelers have been stranded because of lack of access road.

A former Councillor in Ose local government, Isaac Obiniran, while calling on government to expedite effort at reconstructing the bridge, stated that the only alternative route is not only longer but also in a terrible state with robbers usually operating there.

“There is hardly a week that travelers will not be robbed or kidnapped along the road.

“The other Ipele- Idoani- Isua road, which is federal highway that would have been a good alternative to Oba – Akungba -Oka road, is also in a very bad state.

He urged the Ondo state government to quickly come to the rescue of numerous travelers passing through the road.

you have forgotten quickly, briaafraud land has been a gully erosion study case.

to me personally Akoko generally are not enjoying any dividend of democracy. went to Oyin Akoko of recent the road is a wash. I don't know what Gov Akeredolu is doing including the local govt chairman

Shebi we yorubas usually claim that erosion only happen Ibo land? We are always happy when it happens in the east.

Why are now lamenting when it is happening to us?

There is no good road in any part of Akoko, I don't know why they have that bad in that state, since the exit if Baba Adefarati, it has been one worse Governor after another, the present idiot is a disaster that shouldn't have allowed to happen, but it's already happening.

You are not yoruba and this your grammer can cause erosion

Nigeria is cursed i swear.

And i am not joking.

Anybody who wants to become a government official believes its necessary to fortify himself agaimst real and perceived enemies.

To do this he enters into covenant with wicked and diabolical demonic forces who grant him his wish after providing the start up sacrifices.

He becomes heartless and can never see and feel the pain of the people because he is now under the control of the ruling demon he pledged allegiance to.

This is the real problem of Nigeria....its deeply spiritual.
The endless mass killings, massive looting, etc are just mere symptoms of a deep rooted problem.

That's not a bridge, it's a box culvert. No amount of heavy downpour can wash away any bridge

ifymadu:

It's a box culvert designed and constructed to carry runoff of water from one side of the road to d other side via drain

Wao

The rain has been very crazy in the whole SW in the past few days.
