So this is all you have and you plan to deliver to people's houses? O diegwu

Everybody, including the owner of the six-flat storey-building in Abagana, Anambra state knew.The beautiful structure may not last till the next rainy season and in the next few weeks,could topple into the cavernous gully only a few metres away.

Last week in Njaba, Imo state ,Mr. Festus Okoro ‘s heart was filled with sadness as he surveyed what was left of his three hectares of farmland on which he had planted young cashew seedlings.

The retired ports worker had invested part of his retirement benefits on the farm only to discover that two days of heavy rainfall had left a large gully through which his seedlings had been washed into the Njaba river.


All across the South East, from Enugu to Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and Abia states , gully erosion has cut up or washed away roads, destroyed farmlands, pulled down houses and sent residents fleeing their homes.

Investigation by The Guardian showed that Akwakuma in Owerri North Council, Njaba and parts of Okigwe road in Owerri Municipal are worst hit in Imo State. There is the Ohafia-Arochukwu axis and the Umunneoche Council in Abia State where residents have fled their homes.

In Anambra, several communities are being ravaged by erosion while the Nguzu-Edda and Abia Iwerre communities in Afikpo South Local Council, Ebonyi have some of the worst erosion sites in the region while Enugu’s sites are mostly located along the Udi axis.

A visit to some of the erosion sites showed that economic and human activities are almost non-existent, the result of the yawning and dangerous gullies created by large-volume, fast-flowing run-off.It is often heart-breaking to see beautiful houses perched on the edges of deep gullies, long abandoned by their owners who have relocated and from wherever, await the inevitable swallowing of their homes.

The headquarters of Afikpo South council at Nguzu-Edda, has been relocated due to the threat by erosion even as a few buildings still sit perilously on the edges of gullies.A resident, John Nwuifuru told The Guardian that the “local government headquarters was relocated sometime by the administration of the former chairman of the council, Nkama Nkama Ude because the former location was no longer safe for habitation. You have seen how erosion ravaged the area to the point that buildings were swallowed and even the internal roads are no longer accessible.”

Nwuifuru also disclosed that the entire Abia-Iwerre community is being threatened by erosion that has also sacked many residents.At Oko community, Orumba North Council in Anambra state, erosion has shown it s no respecter of anybody.

The family homes of former Vice President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme and his younger brother the traditional ruler of the community, Prof. Laz Ekwueme are under serious threat of being washed away.So are facilities which include the Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) and auditorium at the Federal Polytechnic Oko, under construction may be swallowed up by an encroaching gully unless something is done to save them. It was gathered the school has sunk over N8bllion to erect some of the structures now being threatened.

The Guardian learnt that over 900 erosion sites exist in over 177 communities of the state including Oko, Ebenebe, Nanka, and Agulu among others, leading to severe environmental degradation and adversely affected the socioeconomic lives of the people.

According to Mr Ikenna Uba, cases of land degradation that developed into full-blown gully erosion sites were caused by human activities through the indiscriminate dumping of waste products, felling of trees and an increased runoff due to rapid land use development.

He added that the poor drainage system of the people was responsible.Uba told The Guardian that several intervention efforts had been made, stressing however that “they are hardly likely to contain galloping erosion from the numerous congestion we have in terms of infrastructure here.”

He said the Federal Government through the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) is intervening in the area, adding however that “the more they intervene, the more new erosion sites are developed.“They are intervening in Amachalla gully in Awka South, Uruokpala-Umudunu erosion in Abagana Njikoka, St. Thomas Aquinas/Nero Plaza in Awka, and the New Heritage erosion site at Omogba, Onitsha”, he said.

It was gathered that the affected sites which would have been completed before the end of the first quarter of this year are being delayed by paucity of funds.One of the natives, George Uzo said they would be happy to see that the jobs were delivered, stressing that the intervention project was necessary to save some structures still standing as well as recover some farmlands.

The 23-kilometer Arochukwu-Ohafia federal road which runs from Ebem in Ohafia to Amuvi Village in Arochukwu Local Council of Abia State is also being ravaged by erosion.

Although a long segment of the road, which was cut off when it caved in some years ago had been sand- filled, there are noticeable threats of new gullies on the road.

The road said to have been constructed during the first republic and later rehabilitated during the second republic administration, defied subsequent repairs by successive governments which residents described as just nothing than grading during the dry season and filling of some potholes in the rainy season.

One of the residents, who identified himself as Ebuka stated: “We heard stories about the award of the contract and saw a contractor working on some portions of the road. But you can see that the road is still in a terrible shape due to erosion.

Under normal circumstances, it should be a 30-minute drive from Ebem Ohofia to Amuvi-Arochukwu, which would enhance the businesses of Ihechiowa, Ututu and Arochukwu communities and beyond.But as they are trying to fix the road, more areas are collapsing.”

In Imo, the Akwakuma erosion has narrowed the road to Onitsha and other adjoining areas.For Enugu, parts of Udi and Ezeagu along the Enugu- Onitsha road are seriously ravaged by erosion. The road, which is a dual carriage way has been reduced to one lane with various parts of the road washed
off.

Efforts to get officials of the Federal Ministry of Works in Enugu to comment failed. An official told The Guardian on condition of anonymity that; “We are controlled from Abuja. It will not be fair to speak unless they direct us to do so.”

This is marginalization. . Why only the southeast?

Kindly address the following observations.
1.I wonder why your customers haven't written a "thank you" message here, despite claims of having delivered many trucks of yam to different destinations. Only one "thank you " message has been seen
2. Can 15,000 tubers of yam be accommodated in a truck ? Please clarify that claim
3. Daily Photographs of the loaded trucks showing your image would proove a point and enhance trust. Can you upload the photos.
4. If your customers/ clients have been writing you "thank you" messages, kindly post a screen shot image here. It will build trust

*UNIVERSITY OF BENIN COUNCIL / MANAGEMENT PULLS OUT FROM TREASURY SINGLE ACCOUNT (TSA)*
The University of Benin Council/ Management pulls out from Treasury Single Account (TSA),
Opens an account with Unity Bank, Uniben Branch: Account title: Uniben Staff Retreat/ External Assessors, Account no: 0014419470. The aforementioned account is used to drain postgraduate students on or before completion of their program. The PG students are forced to pay #30000, #60000, and #90000 for PgD, MSc and PhD students respectively into the account all in the name of paying for External Examiners for project/oral defense, while the students through their departments are also mandated to pay External Examiners at the point of oral defense on the premise that the school cannot access the account domicile at unity Bank. Studying in UNIBEN and upon completion of your study, you are made to realize that you cannot get your result approved by the senate or do the relevant clearance after approval by senate to get your statement of result/ certificate until you pay the said amount. Our certificates are being kidnapped for a ransom fee of #30000, #60000 and #90000 for PgD, MSc and PhD students respectively. Fellow Nigerian students, are postgraduate students to pay for the retreat of staff in the university of Benin? Pls let's join hands together and help stop this corrupt practice in the institution.

EFCC, ICPC and other relevant financial institutions should conduct proper investigation on the issue to stop this corrupt act.

Read and share until it get to all relevant authorities.

The [b]

Cause of High fees and extortion in PG schools: There is no post graduate students' body in Nigeria that can protect the interest of post graduate students.

Reason : Because we are not mobilised to start one.

The way out: Start a post graduate students' union government now.

How can we start:
1.Drop your whatapp number here on naira.land and write your present university where you do your post graduate studies. Send a whatapp message to 08022209087 to get started.
2.We will elect interim presidents in all universities in Nigeria in order to mobilise other students for proper election.
3. We will also have an interim national president that will represent us and fight our battle in Abuja while we do proper election and get a substantive national president.

Expected Outcome: When we mobilize ouselves and start a body, we would elect a national president that will sit one-on-one and discuss with the minister of education, and other stake holders in the country in order to protect the interest of post graduate students.

Who will start this process? I offer myself.

What you can do now: Register here by sending a whatapp message( Your name, the program you run,and the name of the university where you do your program) to this whatapp number 08022209087.

What most Nigerians don't know is that Buhari is just the figure head which some people use to perpetuate their own agenda.
They use the "oga said" tactics to get contracts for cronies, get USD at ridiculous rates from Cbn, effect political appointment of friends etc. That was why when Buhari was in London and they couldn't use the "oga said" tactics again to push their interests, they quickly bundled the man back to the country.
Examples of such men are Babagana kingibe, Babachir Lawal, Abba kyari, and that his nephew/uncle(what do u call a nephew that is older than you) who happens to be the actual president of Nigeria, Mamman Daura

Have you ever tasted the law court? Do you know that you can be tried for calumny or defamation of characters?

This is exactly what happened in Warri,on new year's eve 2015, while we were returning from chch we saw people scampering while a guy was on floor severely stabbed with broken bottle,for refusing to give some guys his phone.

It's annoying to see a plate of rice as your profile picture after wasting my MB

Extend your reach ability. Make comments on Facebook. Snap good pictures. Be nice at offices and churches. Render assistance as much as you can to guys offline. I am sure someone will like you and like your child

I grew with the mentality that those who have sex in dreams are under spiritual attack are suffering from demonic attack, but now, I've grown to see more to it and I have come to conclusion that it has to do with psychology

When your mind is so much preoccupied with sexual thoughts, you're vulnerable to wet dreams and sexual intercourse even in dreams

There are so many others things that Nigerians take as being spiritual.

So if someone have a carryover in skool means he didn't graduate or he can't write it next session for a reseat and I am quite aware that even when you have carryovers in your final year you can actually wave about 6 units.

Meanwhile does that mean the whole people in that class are dull with CGPA of less than 3.00?

My story: Been the fact that in my 100 level in skool those days I got GPA of 1.8 which was one of the lowest in my class. I was even called by some lecturers who gave me advise to sit up. But today I am a product of 2'1 with a CGPA of 3.78. One thing I notice in life is when you are serious to achieve what you want you will definitely get it if you put in all your effort and do away with unserious people.

I knew I would have made 1st class if I was serious rom the beginning.

That's his second semester final year result. What it means is that he didn't register those courses again and therefore did not graduate. Did you see his CGPA of only 2.?

Another avenue to divert public fund
