I think this idea of building jumbo-sized gutters that are left open is not safe, and Anambra is full of these death traps. Maybe they should consider covering them up.
I remember one day in Unizik junction in Awka, it was raining, though not heavy but the accumulated water in the drainage was quite heavy. One bike man had fallen inside the shallow point at Arooma junction and the current carried him all the way to Unizik junction.

They should cover them up please.

The heavy down pour on Sunday night was terrible to say the least. this kind of accident shouldn't be happening if Nigeria has good roads
.
The truth is that the culverts are poory constructed.how would you allow culverts of about 4ft deep and 5ft wide completely open?.. it's terrible since it's an exposed hazard ready to consume souls.

FREEMADNESS:
that's why every time I go out I pray for God's protection because this life na 50/50 anything can happen.

I will blame this on bad government sha cox if the roads were in good shape death like this would have been averted

Not all that true, blame the DRIVER for moving on the road covered by water.

I traveled from Enugu to Onitsha on that Sunday night, many DRIVERS packed on the road while some were moving slowly. If the DRIVER cannot see the ROAD the best option is to pack and wait for the rain/ the road to Clear



RIP TO THE DEAD

Someone should help us tell these bus drivers to take it easy whenever it is raining. If you are not sure of the road, better park and wait for the rain to subside. This is not just for bus drivers pls...

All these katakata going on in Anambra these days calls for a sober reflection amongst the people. let them seek god, return to Him and let em fast and pray that their sins be forgiven and their land be cleansed cuz it's obvious their sins have reached the ears of their Creator angry
Must everything be connected to religion?

This is the situation of Lagos gutters and environment. That one gutter in Onitsha is not dirt compare to Lagos filth. Do you need to see the ones in Ibadan too?

See the garbage in that place.

Are you sure it's not blocking a water way?
They will blame PMB for that GARBAGE.
Onitsha, Lagos, Oyo, Port Harcourt and ABA.... should alter their capitals to GARBAGE city.

I keep asking people, are FOREIGNERS responsible for the rot in Nigeria?
Please who's responsible for the unhealthy Nature of these cities?
Are the Togolese or Ivorians responsible?
Is it not the same residents residing there.?
Any day we wakeup to clean Nigeria and become sensible, that's exactly the day Nigeria will start getting better.

even your forefather knows better


none of Igbo land can beat Yoruba communities, the rural areas that's bringing less economy value has good electricity than your urban areas in the East


if you doubt me, ask your forefathers that run to build their wealth in southwest to educate your ignorance


stop swimming on your self foolishness, is not funny

what Economic value does your useless Osun, Ekiti And Ondo State bring to Nigeria? I don't know when you will have sense, your mentality is too low, you are obviously pained because igbos are doing well even better than you, jobless (skull miners) stop the hate and accept the truth boy!

Igbo are doing well in ritualism, drug pushing and robbery, no wonder the doing well is making your kinsmen have annex in Asian prisons


I can bet it that you're not in your right senses when you're comparing your region with Yoruba region and her people


that ondo had a good economy that didn't now only subsidize food consumption in southwest and other Nigerian but in some useful resources that your lineage cannot think of


mention resources of Enugu and other and let me put you to Shame here

except from Onitsha that govt derived levy from the marketers that's mostly come to Yoruba land to buy their goods and Nnewi that have few industries, tell me what ihiala, idemili and others are contributing to Anambra govt?


you need to submit yourself for the god of your community in the next sacrifice because you don't deserve to exist as a human with this your watery brain
