They(APC, Buhari,Lier Mohammed) will blame Jonathan and PDP for the down pour again

Nkpolu junction. The road itself is smooth but it's the drainage that's the problem. Some of those structures there are blocking the drainage and they need to be demolished

norastan:
Are u living in Ph ur saying this is fake come n see it for urself

I live in PH. There's nothing wrong with the federal road (east-west road) but the nkpolu road has no good drainage channel. Nkpolu is a trunk B (state) road. So leave federal government alone. When all ikwerre houses are on canals. All roads built by amaechi have good drainage system except the ones built by Mr project.

smesi:
They(APC, Buhari,Lier Mohammed) will blame Jonathan and PDP for the down pour again

no one will blame PDP or GEJ. The problem is from Nkpolu road which is a state road built by Mr project without proper drainage system. The drainage is so shallow.

Twisted story. Nkpolu and Rumuigbo right from Ogologo junction, Igboloji through all Rumuigbo is flooded as a result of developers sand filling and building on top natural drainage. Just a portion of East-West road by the junction is affected.

PRESIDENT BUHARI IS WORKING, NIGERIAN RESTORER, MESSIAH OF OUR TIME WITH CRYING BLOOD

APC Government is work.

Why did d state government allow pple to build houses along natural drainages areas even with drainage,i saw most houses in PH and i cried they have to no gutters on their streets & most streets end in close.

I live in Porthacourt and I pass through this road very often. I drove pass their two days ago and it was a horrible experience. Thanks to For that it was a heavy downpour.
However, while the government have failed in giving us quality road, we on our own are doing ourselves more harm than good by blocking the water ways by raising buildings indiscriminately. A closer look at the problem at Nkpolu road will show you that when we cut corners to actualize our interest, it may come back to hunt us

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.

The community sold the land where the water empties on the other side of the road. The woman who bought the land blocked the drainage to erect her structure. They took her to court and she defeated them. Irrespective of that on that side of the road leading down to the obiri ikwerre bridge there's no drainage. Considering the choba river is down that road there should be no flood. But poor planning from the road constructors have contributed to this.

You know the problem with Nigerian is that when some says something we don't find out how true it is. I leave in Port Harcourt and the street that leads to the flooded area on east/west road Nkpolu. 1. That road was constructed by the PDP government. The contract was collected from amaechi by Jonathan to spit him of which he advised the constitution of the drainage but they didn't. 2. The water that is gathers there after it rains started this year after the empty land which It flows to was sold by the Nkpolu community to an individual. And after it was sand filled they became the architect of their own problem. So blaming it Any government is wrong if the communities insist on the government to make a water way the would have during the construction but they didn't and if they did not sell there land where the water flows to they won't have any problem. So let's be honest we are the cause of our problems at time the leaders just ride on it.

Metuh:
Buhari has constructed the road na.


This is fake news.

GEJ finished during his tenure


The shame is on you.

Metuh:
Buhari has constructed the road na.


This is fake news.

No, don't give GEJ praises and honour to Buhari. GEJ used his 6 years and billions of oil money to construct the road. Up GEJ.

mashnino:
The govt should come unclog the gutter?

Or stop the rainfall

Which one?

So that we know what to tell them when we get to london

Una jump una state govt fly reach fed govt

nkapi that road na federal road... try get sense small.

They don't care about the road. Just give them N500 for kaikai on the day of election and their vote is yours

otokx:
A lot of propaganda and political deceptions.

The community in that area sold the land inclusive of the drainage and sand filled it to a higher level so all the water that used to flow into their area is now flowing in the reverse direction.

This is not necessarily a FG problem.

if u don't know what to say, close your mouth!
the problem of that road is drainage. All it need is proper drainage from there to choba river, that's all! don't tell us that they sold land. how can u channel water to someone's land?
and yes, it's an FG problem!

Idiots will blame the FG without even rationalizing the situation.

It's the Nkpolu road with no drainage built by Mr. Cultist Project that is flooding, not the east west road

But sentimental cockroaches and millipedes will crawl out of their crevices and start spewing rubbishabout FERMA

Keep on politicizing the issue, what concerns choba river so far away when there are numerous canals and natural wetlands in the area. The community people as has been rightly pointed out blocked the water flow and are reaping the fruit of their labour.

Leave that brain dead muppet with no sense of rationality

Choba river is at least 10km from that place.
Local inhabitants have used up every square millimeter to build shacks to be rented and there is no drainage. Yet monkeys like the one you quoted will jump at anything federal before thinking

Cultist Wike in his usual grandstanding style of governance built a road with any kind of drainage hence the flooding but people are still calling it a FG problem and they expect us to think they are normal

Actually madness is not judged by roaming naked on the road. Some of these id1otic comments on these pages are a real indicator.

There are canals all over Port Harcourt, when last where they dredged and desilted? The nearest canal to this site is that one that passes SAS road up to Rupokwu. There are also natural wetlands but all the land have been sold and the water path blocked. Then someone wakes up and starts politicizing the issue the same way they tried to do to the soot that is killing us softly in Rivers State.

I've told you to ignore that ignorant madman and his ilk blaming the FG for a problem caused by greedy community folks.

Wike is converting one of those natural wetlands that could have been used for drainages along NLNG Road to a housing scheme where they can sell to their cronies
When flooding there starts as a result of nature taking its course, id1ots like that mor0n will come here and say it is theFG's problem. Already the on going work is taking a toll on the road by the Rasyern Bypassroundabout.
That place was left alone by past governors. No one is talking about such problems. No one probably did a detailed EIA report. But when floods come, stupïd dense people will politicize it with stupïd rhetoric

My dear, heard about it when I passed through that area yesterday. They sold the land that was used as a drainage area as per typical Ikwerre community without thinking etc (the usual chop today without plans for tomorrow mentality). Now people are coming here to talk as if the road was done badly. Check it in dry season. Usually so good
