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.

Pukkah: After the destructive flood which rampaged Ibadan last year, it became obvious to Mr Abiola Ajimobi that many houses which were estimated at over 2,000 and said to be blocking the drains, waterways and flood plains should be demolished. He apparently thought of the political implications of such a move and reckoned that he could not at the time face the social upheaval that would confront his new government.

As an alternative, he went for the less disruptive option of dredging the rivers and widening water channels in the metropolis. With this option, he would only have to demolish just 56 houses out of which 40 had already been abandoned. Obviously, he went for the dredging option and jettisoned the unpopular demolition option while expecting that the dredging option would bring about an enduring solution.

I must admit, it does seem like the dredging option has only been partially effective especially considering the volume of the last rainfall which led to this flood. If the rivers had not been widened or dredged, the impact would have been more than this.

Governor Ajimobi must move beyond this moderate 'dredging success' and confront the planning problem in Ibadan headlong. Of course, it will bring tears and cries but he should engage the people and prepare them for this inevitable task as the problems can only get worse. There is no reason to experience floods in Ibadan if things are done properly.

Governance is not a mean task.

Crap.

Why are places like Warri and PH not flooded? Is Ibadan more riverine?
The Oyo state govt is a failure.

Flood wreaks havoc in Port Harcourt

A heavy rainfall weekend wreaked havoc at First Avenue, National Cargo and Jackson Close areas in Rumuibekwe, Port Harcourt, Rivers State destroying property and rendering families homeless.

For those whose houses were not overtaken by the flood, movement has been drastically restricted. The flood according to Mr Silas of No 1, Jackson close was causes by lack of drainage.

He, however, called on the appropriate authority to intervene and help alleviate their suffering

Four days after the rain, houses were still submerged in water. A resident of one of such houses, Mrs Ada Okorie of No 2, Jackson close whose house was still filled with water when Vanguard got there could not hold back her anguish as she lamented her plight over the past four days.

She told Vanguard that she has been scooping water from her duplex over the past four days. She, therefore, appealed to the state government to do something about the flood as she has not been able to go to work or do any other thing beside scooping water since the rain started on Saturday.

When asked what the cause of the flood was, most of the residents expressed discordant tunes. Mr Chijioke Ukaegbu of No 19 National Cargo, said it was caused by a blocked shell drainage beside their building as water from the huge drainage could not flow through.


This is for Warri:

Delta govt to demolish houses in Warri, Effurun over flood menace
on JULY 4, 2012 · in NEWS
12:10 am

WARRI- Delta State Government has said it will demolish houses in the cities of Warri and Effurun, allegedly obstructing water channels to avert flood disaster in the state.

State Commissioner for Environment, Chief Frank Omare, who spoke, weekend, while inspecting the buildings already marked for demolition by government, said the houses were blocking water channels and causing flood whenever there was heavy downpour.

He noted that in order to avoid death and submerging of houses, government had to take the hard decision.

Omare said his ministry would be firm and decisive in carrying out the exercise. It emerged, yesterday, that some landlords, whose houses were located on the said channels, have started mounting pressure for their houses to be removed from the demolition list.

Vanguard gathered that the state government had a report, long ago, indicating that there would be torrential rain and flooding in Warri, Effurun and to avoid the ugly situation in Lagos State, it had to demolish houses built on water channels, than allow them to dislocate the entire citizenry.




From your logic, does it mean that the governments of Rivers and Delta have also failed?

I implore you to employ a decent language in your answer.

My friend shut up. am based here in PH and we do experience flooding wellla. Though Ameachi is working in some areas but not all yet.

benzion72: Somebody mention Apete. I leave in Apete and it has being a tough work getting in and out of Apete. The Oyo State Government award the construction of the new bridge without a single motorable access road to the people of the community.The worst part is that the contractor Messers KPB lack the capacity and where withal to execute this project. The governor really disappointed all of us ACN government like that of Lagos and Edo are know for solid and quality work. Not awarding major contract to newbie who does not have any machine. There are only two machine on site and they were hired they obsolete machine that are being weld severally in a day and they will be sourcing for welder within Apete who willcollect stipend. They use Dangote cement instead of mortal that solidified in the presence of water. Ajimobineed to borrow brain from Lagos and Edo state and stop all this rubbish

Picturesuuuuu! I demand pictures muthaphucker!
Admit that the Oyo state govt is a failure.



I know you are naturally silly, but don't you think it is going too far to compare minor events in PH to the absolute fuckry we see in Ibadan every couple of months?
Abeg, face your front.

Tell us when either PH or Warri flooded to the extent that the people had to beg GEJ to come and visit; yet these are riverine towns to the core, both being swamplands that are only a stonesthrow from the ocean too. If you cannot provide pics from Warri and PH that are similar to the ones below, then you need to shut the phuck up and accept thet there is a dramatic failure of govt in Oyo.

The way it is these days, if you live in Ibadan, you can almost swim and catch fish in your own house.

SPIDER90: The problem with an average Nigerian is that we are not sincere and objective in our reasoning. There is always something beclouding our sense of judgment deliberately,it is either, he is from tribe,religion, local govt or town. Despite all the noise made by ACN about good governance on pages of newspapers and what we now discovered to be a cheap blackmail, we can authoritatively say that there is no difference btw PDP and ACN or any other party in nigeria. For us living in Ibadan( I lives in Eleyele) we can not see any diff btw Akala & Ajimobi imo the former is better, but most of u internet and ACN apologists u can continue on the defence of this man that was not prepare for this herculean task, this issue goes beyond flooding.

Forget that long bullshiit. Can you show us a single picture from either Warri or PH in which houses are swimming like they regularly do in Ibadan?
Its totally stup!d to publish minor events in comparison to the disasters that regularly occur in Ibadan. I expect toad-like answers from dishonest people like you anyway.

I want to know why Ibadan is flood prone, whereas towns and cities in the Niger Delta are not. Simple as.
Don't you even feel deep shame that an upland town like Ibadan calls for relief and aid every few months, while ND towns don't? Lagos at least has an excuse, what the phuck is the excuse for Ibadan?

Quite clearly, the Oyo state govt is a failure.

Pukkah:

Must you curse? Must you throw insults? Have you totally lost the capacity to engage in decent arguments and discussions? I think you urgently need to see a psychologist.

I guess it's my fault afterall, for trying to decently engage an irretrievably-biased, frequently-lampooned, and roundly-discredited mercenary. It is below dignity and self-respect to argue with a mere paid agent and an adult who makes ends meet by licking the stinking boots of another CLUELESS adult.

Pray, what manner of decency does one expect from a full-grown, able-bodied but insolent adult who unabashedly tar others with insults just so that he can shamelessly and remorselessly defend the tardy policies of a RETARDED principal? You're swimming in ignominy yet you're grinning shamelessly.

Continue to wallow in your unholy trade of peddling lies and selling untruths in exchange for a few naira notes while the useful part of your life burns on. I wish you the kind of luck that inevitably awaits ALL those who do so. Those who sow the wind ALWAYS reap the whirlwind.

I'm out. I have no time for nonsense.

You sir, deserve a Pullitzer award for succinct, straightforward, from-the-heart, sharp-shooting commentary.

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.
