Benin city is a peculiar town as regards rain, I know that area very well. For all just typing ignorantly or out of political disagreement with the state government, to its credit has two drains on that road. By the main carriage and by the service lane. That area is the lowest part of that catchment and so it's always flooded by water right from Ugbowo and adjoining streets and also from areas before Uselu share. The storm water project which is on going will conveniently take care of this problem as it's twin cell box culvert now at textile mill junction will go through Otote down to Adolo College road. Another twin cell box culvert will now take the water from this area through traditional ground Uselu to meet the culvert at Otote/Adolo College road. I know this cos I was fortunate to see the design of the stormwater project currently on going and it will be safe to say it is the biggest erosion control project in Nigeria presently. Benin is a big city and almost every street has drainage/erosion problems. The present stormwater project is taking of only two out of over twenty catchment areas. Let's not politicise everything ok
well articulated. so much ignorance and sentimental bull crap on NL

Is it only that road. Inside New Benin, Ugbo road, Ekenwan road are federal road too abi?

The problem with Benin is no proper drainage system. Oshiomole collected 150 billion nairn as loan for erosion control and heavy drainage project. Today non of the project is up to 20% in progress. He worsten the whole case by digging abandon holes everywhere and those holes are collapsing. Oshiomole is a scam.
where in new Benin gets flooded?

You begin to wonder if same thing happened last year ....why this year angry sometimes, we the residents are to blame. We block the drainages and expect government to perform magic before the rains? The government sef, when they won't license or provide good waste disposal companies how do people dispose off their wastes? The people nko ....are they ready to pay for waste disposal? angry All man go keep quiet now

Re: Rain Turns Road To "River" In Benin This Evening by agbangam: 11:08pm On Jul 10, 2016
Don't be deceive guys, Edo state was in a mess be4 Oshomole came, PDP under Igbenedion looted dat state terribly leaving bad roads n huge debt aswell. Oshomole has done laot for Edo state even wit d little FG allocation and since govt is continuous, d nxt govt will also play her part in developing d state. its only an insincere person will say otherwise. Edo state has really improved compare to wat Igbenedion left behind for us.
Re: Rain Turns Road To "River" In Benin This Evening by Slymonster(m): 11:10pm On Jul 10, 2016
i have seen one or two people educating some ignorance f00ls here,just because you hate oshiomole you then say POI...I laugh when people think that he will surpass oshiomole if he wins when POI is a scam.SEP 10 shall tell and then you can decide yourself if you have voters card
Re: Rain Turns Road To "River" In Benin This Evening by keniolawumi56(m): 11:13pm On Jul 10, 2016
Tomorrow the governor will blame PDP for this, am not a supporter of PDP but APC keep blaming pass adm and they are almost two years in government. When Oshiomole was Labour leader we all thought he will be a masahi for Pple of Edo state. The only achievement is married to a white woman.
Re: Rain Turns Road To "River" In Benin This Evening by Nobody: 11:16pm On Jul 10, 2016
The problem with flooding in Benin is lack of drainage, gorothy junction in upper sakponba is a typical example

Someone reading this will think the whole of Benin has these holes u are talking about. Let me educate u a little. The on going storm water project for Uwelu East starts at Uwelu Powerlines by Adolo College road through Uwelu spare parts mkt, Evbuotubu through Ekenwan road to Ogba river a total length of over 7 km comprising of both trapezoidal drains, single and double cell box culverts at different sections. Those HOLES as u call it are foundation trenches for these concrete structures. For that length of construction and with the bad state of the economy (where money is not available for work for months and don't forget that very rich states like Delta, Akwa Ibom who don't have such gigantic projects can't even pay saries for months) about two or three buildings after Ogidan barracks are some metres away from the eroding trenches and this is not unexpected. As of last week work is on going at both Evbuotubu axis by Norman Edwards schools and close to the beginning by Adolo College road. My friend do ur research and SAY NO TO HEARSAY
Make una dey do my brother my brother dey suffer.

Una Neva suffer reach for Nigeria. Until una start to hold una leaders accountable, suffer na all una middle name.

Dey there dey support bad thing.
