Politics / Re: Aba: A City Destroyed By Attitude Of Residents by saintiyke(m): 12:06pm On Aug 22, 2012 |
[quote author=emindu]AS a child growing up in the commercial city of Aba, Abia state in the early eighties, I knew the city had a lot of environmental challenges that appeared insurmountable at a time, despite several efforts by successive governments in the state to tackle them. It was obvious, however, to the residents then that governments were not committed and sincere in tackling the problems. Top on the list of the environmental challenges in the city then were flooding and refuse disposal. Both of them posed serious threat to our health and environmental wellbeing even as we no choice but to endure the hazard. Apart from the indiscriminate dumping of refuse at almost every corner, the odour oozing out from it was enough to make one sick all the time. As more people trooped into the city for commercial activities and other means of eking out a living, the more the challenges took a dangerous dimension, as there were no places for refuse disposal. So most times residents dump their refuse into the drainage, especially at night, believing it would be washed away by flood when it rained. Some streets and roads were taken over by heaps of refuse and people avoided using such roads and streets for fear of being infected. It was a situation that worsened the environmental challenges in the city as most drainage channels were totally blocked, making it possible for flood to take over majority of the roads in the city whenever it rained. I could remember how our parents would always prevent us from going out whenever it was raining to avoid being carried away by flood or being infected in the contaminated flood. That was my experience and that of my people in the city then. By the time I finished my secondary education in the early nineties I left the city for further education in Enugu, though I visited there occasionally to buy clothes while I was in the university because of the presence of good tailors there. With the return of democracy in 1999, I had thought that the city and state capital, Umuahia, would receive adequate attention from the state government, especially in tackling the environmental challenges. But disappointedly I didn’t witness such intervention from the government when I visited the city again in 2005 while doing my national youth service programme in Cross River State. One of my friends there told me that the government had continued to promise the residents of plans to clear the heaps of refuse at various dump sites that had become an eye sore, but nothing was ever done. So it was a hopeless situation in Aba and for years I didn’t go there again until recently when I was in Umuahia for some days on official duty. Every morning from my hotel room window, I saw some waste disposal trucks with the inscription of the Abia State Environment Protection Agency, ASEPA, carrying waste and some street sweepers sweeping the roads and watering the flowers planted on the dualised roads in the capital. On inquiry how such development was made possible and whether such has been extended to the commercial city of Aba, I was informed that the present government in the state made it possible with the revival of ASEPA and equipping the agency with the necessary facilities, including more than 28 waste disposal trucks, Eco poer truck, tippers, receptacles, bulldozers, graders, domestic waste bins, weight waste containers, motor vehicle waste basket, bio-degradable waste bag and others. This was after the state government terminated the arrangement it entered into with Phoenix Environmental Service Limited for failure to live up to expectation in managing refuse in Aba. The government later entered into agreement with ANCOLD Environmental to work in partnership with ASEPA to ensure the clearing of waste disposal in Aba. Based on the popular adage which says that “seeing is believing”, I made out time and visited Aba to see things myself and also see some of my friends after some years. On getting to the city, right from the popular and notorious Osisioma Junction, it was obvious that there was a massive improvement in the tackling of environmental challenges in the city. Flowers have been planted at junctions with a beautification design and demarcation I found very attractive. There was no traffic jams or congestion at the junction right down to the Aba/Owerri road. Most of the known refuse dump sites in the city were empty, with disposal trucks on every street packing waste. Most of the drainage channels were cleared and clean. I could not believe that it was the same filthy city I left few years ago.

obicentlis: I like the comprehensive look which the OP did but I want to correct you cos I was born , breed and presently working in Aba. Though the residents are not doing enough but the blame should go the useless Government that its not doing anything in Aba. Why are you elected as the Governor? You elected do correct the wrong of the people by making laws that mst be followed. There is no single govt presence in Aba, no single road is motor able, no single infrastructure. Where do you expect the people to take their house hold refuse to? Every year, my house pay @ least 55k plus 100k to d govt for sanitation and infrastructure levies which amount to billions of naira to d state govt. What re this money? In absence of govt help, where do you expect the resident to dispose refuse? I go like 10kms everyday cos I want to dispose refuse. The pple that re into the business cannt come to the street due to there is no road for them. This thread should have being for the Governor to sit up and stop embezzling the state fund.have u not heard about the FOURTY(40) MAN LAPTOP SQUARD (FoMaLaS)? Thats where the OP belongs. |

So T.A Orji has hired a FOURTY (40) MAN LAPTOP SQUARD (FoMaLaS). The poster is just ranting as he has been given money to do so. People are the same everywhere but the govt is not. The activities of the people in Azikiwe road aba is not different from the activities of the people in douglas road owerri. But the govt of imo has ensured that the roads in imo are well reconstructed the activities of the residents notwithstanding. Its the duty of the govt to make/ enforce law to make the life of the people better. |

There are alot of questions begging for answers in the story. 1. Your wife was raped and you kept quite, didnt seek medical help and waited for the pregnancy to emerge? 2. Is one month pregnancy NOT too early to be detected? 3. How did you know the pregnancy was the robbers? Or have you not met with your wife since then? 4. How long since after the incident untill now. 5. Has your wife gone for other test apart from pregnancy test because she could as well have HIV or other STDs.... 7 Likes |

Politics / The Truth About Gej, Bankole's Arrest And The Us by saintiyke(m): 10:12am On Jun 24, 2011 |
Correct Me If I Am Right By Rudolf Okonkwo “I shot the sheriff But I didn’t shoot no deputy oh no! Oh.” - Bob Marley Since I first heard Bob Marley ’s song, “I Shot the Sheriff” I have not stopped wondering what difference it makes if you confess to shooting the sheriff but not the deputy. You ’re as guilty as hell. And you’re going to pay, anyway. Well, now I know the difference. In the last few days, I have found myself singing, I wrote the cable. But I didn ’t leak the sassy piece, oh no! Oh. Satire sucks! On the day that the former speaker of the House of Representative, Oladimeji Bankole was arrested, I wrote a satire I called “US Diplomatic Cable on the Arrest of Oladimeji Bankole.” It was to be published under the series, “Correct Me If I’m Right.” As usual, I sent the first draft to my two readers. My readers ’ task, for over five years now, has always been to go through the first draft and tell me if it made sense or if I should discard it. If I get the go ahead to continue, I then begin work on the second, third and maybe fourth drafts. When I did not get the feedback of one of my readers, I called him. For some reasons, he was so excited about the title that he did not know it was just another work of mine. He had thought it was a real cable just released by wikileaks that I brought to his attention. (I forward “ must read’ stuffs like that to him.) He had already forwarded the work to a friend of his when I called him. Just like that, my imaginary cable leaked before I could publish it. I did not know how far it had gone. I simply continued to work on it. And soon after, it got published on Nigerianewsday.com. That was the last I thought of it. One week after, it was brought to my attention that the Abuja-based Peoples Daily weekend newspaper had published a story based on the cable under the title: “How America Pushed Jonathan to Order Bankole ’s Arrest- US Diplomatic Cable.” Unknown to me, the cable story written by Yusuf Ozi-Usman had been playing out in the Nigerian media. Reporters who read the content of the cable as published by the Peoples Daily asked the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria if it really instigated the arrest of Bankole as suggested by the cable. The American embassy denied that it “arm-twisted Jonathan to order the arrest of Bankole. ” The embassy called the cable, ‘ comical.’ The cable was indeed a deliberate attempt to be comical. Starting with the codes used, I intentionally used abbreviations like AREWA, FRSC, SMC, AFRC, MASSOB, OPC, NUC, and ASUU in the codes. I also used some U.S. colloquial phrases that are not seen in any official correspondence. The real giveaway was in an imaginary conversation between President Jonathan and two American officials. I had one American official say, “That’s my boy!” as Jonathan agreed to their proposal. As soon as I sent that first draft, I realized that it was unbelievable. In fact, it was over the top. In the second draft, I had the U.S. ambassador whisper, “ That’s my boy!” into the ears of the Undersecretary. I made adjustments like this. In some cases it was in an effort to bring the conversations closer to what could happen. In other cases, it was in an effort to show that it wasn’t real. Incidentally, this wasn’t my first attempt at using a mockery of wikileak US diplomatic cable to put a spotlight on socio-political issues. My first cable was called, “An Evening with Ambassador Ade Adefuye.” It was based on things that actually happened last December at the Chinua Achebe Colloquium. When that cable was published, many readers dismissed it as fake. In fact, the Bankole cable in question had exactly the same codes as the Ambassador Adefuye ’s cable. I even forgot to change the declassification date. I have since been made aware that the editor of the Peoples Daily Weekend, Mr. Tawey Zakka, was suspended indefinitely because he published a story based on my satirical cable. I felt bad about that. It wasn ’t funny that someone is on the verge of losing his job over a piece intended to be funny. I’m not going to delve into issues of journalism’s core ethics involved in the decision to publish a story based on that cable. I leave it for those concerned to answer the question of whether all the necessary checks and balances were followed especially when their story started with this phrase: “Facts have emerged…” For what it is worth, I’m sorry that Mr. Zakka is suspended. I think it is important to once again, for the interest of the readers of this column, bring up an important premise I stated in my very first column. And that is: “Many years ago, my father told me that satire thrives on the use of ridicule, irony and sarcasm, to portray folly and destroy them with mockery. The trouble with satire is that those you expect to use their tongues to count their teeth often do not have that skill. Men created riddles out of fear, not out of any noble desire to stimulate thought. ” Six months after I started writing this column, I am in no doubt that the bandwidth I have wasted can be better used. For that reason, I will continue. Correct me if I’m right saharareporters.com/column/i-wrote-cable |
