Erosion is really bad in the southeast.
When building roads isn't this taken into account?

That’s an eyesore. In Japan this would be fixed in less than 72 hours. sad

In Abia, 5 successive administrations won't be able to fix it.

One Executive Arm will be like, "With this level of damage, the loan should be increased to $46Bn so that this road might be reconstructed within 10 years. 2 years to drain the water, 2 years to dig the location, 2 years to fill the sand, 2 years to grade, 2 years to tar it… only for it to last for just another 2 years.

They aren’t new anyways
This is Nigeria and all this kind of human caused disasters are normal
It is certain the road was constructed badly or was in bad condition before the heavy downpour

I made a very GOOD DECISION leaving Nigeria.
Thank God I wasn't trapped by that my Girlfriend who professed undying Love for me.
Pussy would have destroyed me.
My advice to MEN:
Please be smart enough to utilize your very first opportunity. It may not come again.

some of you sef
dont you know FG has asked states not to execute projects assigned as FG owned...
even if IMSG does any repair, they will most likely forfeit it
thats not saying the state govt, cant and shouldnt do it, but most often than not they will use the argument above as excuse
a case in point was in Rivers state, nkpolu junction on east west road, even though after 3years the state govt decided to fix it, after it has caused 2 lives and untold hardship

Japan GDP = $5 Trillion

Nigeria GDP = $448 Billion

Our landmass is also 6 times bigger than theirs.

Not saying they are not a million times more efficient and organized.

The construction company that did this road should be arrested and persecuted for such a bad job.

Who else do we blame?
Afterall he is the president.
He should be able to control the way rain falls.
I'm sure he would not allow this type of rain to fall in Daura.

The problem in most road construction project isn't the Highway Engineer who constructed the road but failure of the government or professional bodies to understand that there is the need for synergy between professions when it comes to road and building construction.

A Geotechnical Engineering or Geologist should be included in any road or building projects in order to avoid issues as this.

The location is not Oba rather Obosi, the road from Upper Iweka to Owerri just before the second Niger bridge landing, between Mgbuka motor spare parts and Electrical Market all in Obosi. A petrol tanker was trapped there and the entire road is locked down.
Residents fear that the entire road will cave in later due to visible cracks on the remaining parts of the road.
Unfortunately, this is the major road linking travelers from ABIA, IMO, RIVERS, AKWA IBOM, and some parts of Calabar to the headbridge.
the traffic situation as i type this is very worrisome.
