kettle84: You have not been following the news have you? Anambra State, a geo-political entity with 4,844 square kilometers, has over 950 erosion sites, a menace that has caused several deaths and destruction of homes and properties over the years. Nwanosike Onu, who visited the sites, report that the devastation is so severe now that some affected citizens are relocating to other communities In Oko community, Orumba North Local Government Area, the house of the former Vice President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, is under threat by erosion, while the federal polytechnic in the area has not fared better. Some of the worst hit communities are Nanka, Umuchu, Ekwulobia, Agulu, Onitsha, Oko, Akwu-Ukwu, Nri, Uli, Okija, Enugwu-Ukwu, Ogidi, Nawfia, Enugwu-Agidi, Nkpor, Obosi, Umuoji, Nnewi-ichi, among others. Speaking with The Nation, the Anambra State Coordinator, Environment-Watch, Comrade Osita Obi, said if nothing is done by the federal government and international agencies, soon the state would be wiped out. Obi, who wept while speaking, said the state government, under Governor Willie Obiano, has not fared well in tackling the menace. For him, more efforts should be put in the project. http://thenationonlineng.net/tears-death-anambra-erosion-crisis-eats-deeper/ http://authorityngr.com/2016/09/Anambra-schools-abandoned-as-4-pupils-die-in-flood/ http://sunnewsonline.com/erosion-flood-menace-anambra-community-cries-out-to-fg-obiano-world-bank/ 1 Like |

We are talking about an impending disaster, you are there making it a tribal issue. Disasters does not does not understand any language nor is it sentimental. We can not grow as a country if we continue to wish any part of the country evil or rejoice when suffer any form of deprivation or disaster. Be warned! Sometimes God allow evil to happen to people who lack empathy to teach them empathy shizzy7: |

milkymesh:Nice speech. They would have typed worse than what I wrote if reverse was the case. Besides, they have representatives at Senate, house of reps, governors e.t.c. and erosion has been in existence even before I was born what did they do about. 1 Like |
