Flooding In My Area In Asaba And Government’s Negligence by Love4all24: 12:08pm On Sep 01, 2021
I’ve been looking for a way to get the attention of the public to our plight. My street is constantly flooded when it rains in Asaba. People’s houses get flooded with waters and cars get damaged. We have tried severally to get the attention of relevant authorities to help us but we are not successful. We spoke to the Catholic Church in my street to help but they couldn’t. We met with the traditional ruler and asked for help still nothing happened. We are tired, distraught and sad and our investments lose values on a daily. The water moves refuse dumps into our houses. Our children get sick. The photos included here were taken 2 days after rainfall. It’s a lot worse when you see it first hand.

We need urgent help. The name of my street is Definite Destiny Hotel road. Please help push to front page so we can get the help we do desperately need.

My family raised 2.5m last year ourselves and asked other people living around to come together to do it but no one brought out a dime and the money we had wasn’t enough.

You can’t construct a gutter when the government didn’t provide a bigger gutter where you can channel and link yours to. It’s a delicate situation.

If you check out Akwuke Road in Enugu state that leads to the popular Akwuke Beach....you will shed tears and some people will come on this platform and praise Ugwuanyi for doing nothing in Enugu state.

Even major roads in Enugu State have potholes and are been overlooked

what are the people on that street doing?
it is not government that will come and take care of your house for you.
look at those interlocks, the person who put it there thinks he is making his place beautiful, not knowing that he is creating a bigger problem of water logging as the water cannot penetrate into the soil as it is supposed to. and if the water cannot go through where did you think it will stay?
i am sure if the government agency in terms of planning ask him not to use interlock he will be shouting that authorities are trying to interfere with his personal freedom. now you put interlocks without plan for drainage what are you complaining of?
