dat was my main point. . .not d blockade of yesterday which was just 2 affirm what u said.
well, if the road was under construction for many years, and after it was finally completed, a huge sinkhole opened up in one part of it, do you think there's a connection between the soil composition and the state of the road.

as it is, the road is going to be out of service again for a while.

see oyibo/western style of reporting, and compare with the incoherent rants of the thread starter and his cronies:





Rain leads to Hwy. 135 sinkhole



The powerful storms pushed the annual rainfall total for Santa Maria from 93 percent of normal before the storms hit to 155 percent of normal at the end of the day Thursday, said Ken Clark, expert senior meteorologist with AccuWeather.

Even though the storm series is gone, remnants of the problems it caused remain.

Notably, a small section of northbound Highway 135 south of the Highway 1 overpass cracked and sunk due to the conditions.


In heavy rain, incidents of roadways washing away are fairly common, Jones said.

^^the drainage system can either prevent or aggravate sinkholes.

all this info is on wiki.

nobody is saying lagos has a perfect drainage system, but sinkholes are also found in other places besides lagos, including the western world.

the issue here is why join the likes of gbengapro and chosen04 to rain curses on fashola.

those two [and forpeace, etc] are exercises in idiocy and nobody in their right mind would consider them anything but clowns.

Only God knows how much the contractor collected to build the road and now one rainfall the thing collapse - Why Why Why  - what happened to international best practices on road building.  I suspect the contract was given to an Area boy turned civil engineer with 2 tippers, 1 caterpillar and 100 labourers with shovel and rake. 

In the western world before  a road is constructed the foundation is strengthened with pure concrete and metal casing rods and definitely not with CLAY SOIL. I just hope Eko Atlantic is not built with this kind of foundation.

Contractor begins filling Tampa sinkhole


TAMPA - Some 20 tons of limestone boulders and eight dump trucks full of sand were dumped today into a gaping sinkhole that already has swallowed a car and was threatening a condominium building.

"This is not a repair," said Carl Kirchendorfer, with NEC Keystone Inc., a local contractor that fixes sinkholes. "It's not a Band-Aid. It's a plug."

A backhoe parked about 30 feet away from the lip of the pit and used an extension arm to drop the rocks and sand into the pit, located in a rear parking lot of the Bordeaux Village Condominiums on 50th Street north of Fowler Avenue.

The rocks were dropped first into the hole, followed by the sand. The goal was to overfill the hole, Kirchendorfer said. By doing that, rain will drain off to the side and not into the hole, which would further destabilize soil.

"We're filling it up," Kirchendorfer said, "so it doesn't act like a big funnel when it rains."

Once the pit is filled, engineers can take ground penetrating radar readings to determine the stability of the ground.

The 25-foot-wide, 40-food-deep pit opened up Sunday in the eastern parking lot of the condo complex.

that's why oyibos always seem to get sense past nigerians.

@ chosen04

does the sight of flowers hurt your eyes? You prefer seeing overflowing gutters and trash heaps, right? I'm sure if they ask you how many flowers you've planted in your entire life, the answer will be zero.

Foreign Affairs › Utah List Claims To Name 1,300 Illegals (I'm not trying To be alarmist though) by tpiah(op): 4:53am On Jul 15, 2010
The list, mailed out anonymously with a note demanding deportation, includes addresses, birth dates, children's names and other personal data. People are 'feeling terrorized,' one Latino leader says.





A list containing the names and personal information of 1,300 people who are supposedly illegal immigrants has been mailed around Utah by an anonymous group demanding immediate deportations.

Most of the names are Latino. The list includes detailed personal information: Social Security numbers, birth dates, workplaces, addresses and phone numbers. Names of children are included, along with due dates of pregnant women on the list.

Republican Gov. Gary R. Herbert wrote in a tweet Tuesday that he had asked state agencies to investigate the origin of the list, which has terrified the state's Latino community.
