According to Hon. Kalu, this poses a land degradation challenge in the region, adding that it is the biggest impact of climate change the region has felt.

Speaking on a radio programme, Ben Kalu's Mandate monitored by ABN TV in Umuahia, the lawmaker said Anambra accounts for about 700 in the number of gullies in the region while Ebonyi has 350, Enugu 400 while Imo has 450.

He lamented that in Bende his constituency, the people are suffering the impact of gully erosion which he said formed part of his first motion in June 2019 when he came to National Assembly.

Etiti Ulo, Itumbuzo Road he said is also affected as well as several other areas.

Like Abia economic migrants running to Lagos and South West bah?

Abians are running away from their problem to start demanding the same thing that led to their failure in their host state.

PrinceOfLagos:

It's better to be economic migrant than to be a refugee in a poorer country like Benin republic

SuperBold:


it is better what? You people secretly love fulani and have this tribe fetishism of Fulani dominating you. That is why you like shouting their name all the time.

No Yoruba is seeking refugee anywhere, Benin is even part of Yorubaland. When we are through with fulani, we will send you back to meet the likes of Nwafor James, Ikpeazu, Obiano and Peter Obi, you seems to have forgotten about the hardship that forced you to leave alaigbo. You will remember by force.

Thank God there's nothing of such down here in the west

PrinceOfLagos:

I am Yoruba and I won't join your likes in hating other tribes .

The fact that I stand on the path of truth doesn't make me Hausa, Fulani or Ibo.

I'm still Yoruba and by far patriotic than you could ever be .

The hatred we Yoruba people ha planted in our heart over other tribes is why we are where we are today, Refugees in another man's country .
