Mention your state and I shall show you a worse case scenario from your state.

Silly attitude this operation 'first to the basement' you are acting here. Such attitudes that will never see challenges but excuses. Such that when next the road is awarded a two foot wide gutter will be shoddily constructed on a road that goes down hill. Elementary physics should tell the idots that designed and built that road that all downhill drains in built up areas must be completely sealed because water going downhill will tend to arch and most of it will be ejected and erode the immediate surroundings. That is why practically every highway in Nigeria with an incline of more than 20% has failed or is failing.

But how will folks know this when they are busy squabbling to demand better returns for their tax naira.

blackaxe78:
Erosion will wash the East into the Atlantic one day

Same way it will wash Southwest to Indian Ocean.

Silly rants. What is your own advise for the people that built these bridges and roads across Nigeria that got washed away by the flood? Please write another advisory note. Thank you

As a civil engr. it's not hard to see what caused the collapse.

Can you share what exactly caused the road collapse? I am here to learn

This is too bad. If you go to any Northern state believe me, you won't see such but come down to east and see plenty rubbish

This is Mgbemena street AWADA OBOSI ANAMBRA STATE Nov2017 before the govt awarded the contract!

Please look at that road 9 months ago you can see that it wasn't that bad but now see the damage done by the contractor!... I am very angry!

Go to his office to show your grievances since you are dumb to know the road is still under construction and it has been raining heavily for three days now

Rain in Awka stopped two hours ago since Tuesday by 2pm it started

[quote author=afroniger post=69722340] Damn! That is a disaster. The authorities need to move in quick to salvage the situation



Mgbemena Street Awada Obosi is home to one of the biggest plastic industries in the East called Ppi,whose factory workers are more than 300 and most of them are resident in Awada. THIS STREET ALONE HAVE OVER 300( 3,4,5 STOREYS BUILDING)

The rain has been so terrible for the past three days and paralyzing everything. Raining presently at Odume layout, Obosi. Not so surprised about what happened at Mgbemena street Awada, the rain has been unforgiving for some days now and moreover the road is under construction.

This used to be my street way back. Mgbemena! What happened? Obaino should up his game biko

If you stay in Onitsha, you should know that it's been raining cats and dogs this week, yesterday's rain was the worst as the heavy rain abated at about 11am from 4:30am when it started and keeping almost everybody indoors. The road in question is under construction so stop blaming the governor

Face your poto poto republic please.

DANGER ALERT!!!

This is MGBEMENA STREET, AWADA, OBOSI, ANAMBRA STATE.

This street has been under construction for some months now by some people who I don't even know if they are into road construction.

Don't even know the kind of materials they are using here, they will just leave a trip of sand and the rain with carry it away.

We can't pass through here anymore, except through Nwaziki Street or Ezeiweka.

I believe this was a project the government of Anambra State gave to some people, now they left it that way, risking the lives of people.

Please share this until the government of Anambra State see it. It is getting out of hand.

aah my childhood street...

So living the road untarred since dry season is now a welcome development?

Say what you know abeg

This is bad, the contractors and everybody involve on that project should be brought to book... This is human life we are talking about

To be honest, obiano is cold this 2nd tenure.

Igbo's always interfering in other states Government's affairs while, the States in their back yard have been turned to some sought of glorified Villages by their Governors.

oh christ... Nigerians eh... This is a natural disaster simply called a landslide and it is nobodys fault

This is why the SE is popularly known as potorpotor or gully erosion region

Yyeske:

No as it is happening somewhere else anambra must have theirs abi?

Some of you here on NL are seriously sick need urgent attention. You reek of chronic inferiority complex. I'm sure you can't bear to look at yourself in the mirror- what you see breaks your heart.

The OP has shared this to bring the attention of the public to this case of shoddy job by a contractor so that it could also possibly get the attention of the state government. Rather than join to speak against the shoddy work and suggest solutions, you begin to point to other cases of flooding elsewhere.
Only cowards point at other's plight to feel good in their own misfortune too.
