"Make Government come do something o! The other day one woman and her pickin she carry for back fall inside gutter, See big wound wey do her for leg, Motor no fit to pass, market no come dey sef" - Miss Nwabuleri, a resident of the area said
"Are you seeing that spot? That is where I sell my roasted corn to feed my four children, ever since water covered that spot, I have been unable to sell my corn.. I can't come and start selling on the main road" another worried seller added.
The root cause of the flooded NKPOLU JUNCTION - EAST WEST ROAD, was poor construction of the NKPOLU -RUMUAGHOLU LINK ROAD without proper drainage. Water will natural find it's way..... Please, stop sending wrong information to the public and ask the Rivers State govt to try fix proper drainage on constructed roads. Also, we need to avoid dumping refuse especially plastics on our drainages.
