Some will soon cry, 'leeeeet the poooor breeeeeath!!!!!'

Lawlessness excused on the bum of the poooor.

All states need to begin grappling with city landscape, it's about time. Clear road side shaks as is being done by Gov Soludo in Anambra. Enforce planing limits like is being done now in Lagos, cleanliness led by Akwa-ibom. This is good for all Nigerians, longterm; although they will be unhappy short-term and the selfish politics type will exploit the situation, crying, let the poooor bweeed!

Demolition is always good only When your building is not affected.

Demolition is important to safeguard waterways and prevent erosion and flooding.

The fault lies with those surveyors and building contractors who don't perform proper due diligence before erecting buildings.

There are places you are forbidden by law from building on... You should be well informed before proceeding.

Biden and many of his counterparts have been in government for about 50 years. Politics Na full time career for some people. It’s either politics or nothing.

Our problem is uniting against failed politicians. We rarely do that and this leaves us perpetually in the hands of career looters.

Frank Omare still dey government for Delta State since 1999?

That mindset of nothing dey happen should stop. A lot of people are just too stubborn. How can one buy land in water way or wet land areas?
Same with people building houses under high electricity tension cables. It's that stubborn and I don't care attitude that makes people vote in misfits always.
I only sympathies with those who had no idea about their land being in water ways areas.

You must be a joker!

Anyways, don't derail this topic - it's about flooding in Delta State.

Delta state is not flooded! Just counter measures! We are not like Lagos waiting for disaster to happen first before response!

Flooding: Delta demolishes buildings on waterways

Delta State Government, Monday, commenced demolition of buildings erected along waterways and causing flooding across the state in line with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's directive.

The demolition exercise started with the pulling down of parts of three buildings, including a yet-to-be-completed church structure and a storey building at Ugboroke, in Uvwie Local Government Area of the state.

The demolished parts of the buildings were occupying waterways believed to be responsible for the annual flooding of houses in the area.

Director-General, Special Duties, Governor's Office, Asaba, Mr Frank Omare, led the amphibious swam buggy to the area, amid security protection from soldiers drafted from the 3 Battalion, Nigerian Army, Effurun.

The demolition and dredging exercise, which started on Monday at Uvwie Local Government Area will move to Warri, Warri South Local Government Area, Udu, Ughelli and other flood-prone parts of the state.

Speaking to journalists on Monday during the demolition exercise at Ugboroke, Mr Omare, who had done similar job as Commissioner for Environment during the administration of Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, said he would follow the mandate given to him without discrimination, adding that seven heavy equipment are at work.

"One of the mandates given to me is to remove illegal structures all over the state; in every local government area. And this is just the beginning and we've given them over two months to ensure that those who had built on natural water ways remove their buildings, those who do not have approval plans they should remove their buildings. And they've deliberately refused.

"In Hgboroke, Uvwie Local Government Area, if there's rain for 10 minutes, everywhere will be flooded. The place is under water and we cannot continue to allow it.

"We're not here for individual interest but the general interest. We will not compromise.

"No sentiments. The falling away of the yellow leave is a warning to the green one. We've started and we're continuing. Times are hard, things are rough, but we must do the right thing.

"The law is law. We have about seven equipment scattered across Warri South and Uvwie local government areas. When we're done, we'd move to other local government. It's a warning to others.

"Nobody's building will be spared no matter who is involved. We will not compromise. This is the way to go. Forty per cent houses here have no soak-away system. Five metres to the drainage, the roads and canals must be adhered to.

"Ministry of land and survey urban renewal are all with me to ensure things are done properly. We're going to be very bold, and we're bold, we're going to be very focused and we're focused and we're going to ensure that nobody is victimised. We're paying so much money to carry out this exercise.

"Government bears the cost of all logistics to bring back sanity. Oborevwori is a street man. He knows the streets. We're ready for those who are ready for trouble. This is a warning to others.

"Any building that has approval please bring them. Whether they're wrongly approved, we'll take responsibility. That's why the ministries in charge are here. They'd tell me how they approved buildings build on waterways," he noted.

Meanwhile, one of the residents, whose father's building was affected, David Adu, expressed happiness that the annual flooding in the area will subside with the demolition and dredging of the canal.

"I'm happy the demolition is ongoing even though my father's house is affected. I only ask they allow us remove our items from the building before total demolition. They should ensure they strictly follow the master plan by bringing back the canal and roads encroached on by builders," he charged.
It's good
Them plenty 4ughelli n Warri
After demolish ing please pay them n sack the authorities who approved the building plan 4dem

Frank Omare wants to turn an ancestor in government.

How many times will he serve as Commissioner,aide or special duty director to all governor's since 1999.

I wonder if there are no young and qualified ones.
